Switch Engine at Laguna Dam
(As told TO Fred Graeser)

ifAS lOlu W

Last week I thought I was going
to Hollywood. Now I gotta work.
When my pals of the Republic
Film company bought me for their
picture Red River Valley" I was
pretty mad because, heck, who
wants to work anyway? 1 was on
a pension and things being as they
are nowadays I figured as how my
last days would be spent in peaceful
surrender to the warmth generated
hereabouts.
The movie people were going to
take me to Hollywood, as you heard
last week, because I really had what
it takes to get by in the film colony.
I had personality, looks and a lot
of hot air, at least when I was
steamed up.
But the rats sold me up the river.
My tender body was left trembling
on the tracks here by Baguna Dam,
after I had been sold for $25. And
to whom? None but the three COM
panies constructing the Imperial
Dam-Morrison KnudSen, Winston
Brothers and Utah Construction
Co. The movie company bought me
from the U. S. Reclamation Bureau
for $780, So they lost SIS on the
deal, although they worked me pref

haul their contraptions clear up that
long six miles.
Before they could use me much,
the movie company had to fix my
tubes. They were corroded. The
something -other of the state said
7 couldn't be used because I might
blow up any minute. But now, since
my operation, feel like a new en-
CINE, don't belch like used to and
my boilers purr like a kitten.
I remember back in 1900 when I
was born in the Davenport Locomo-
tive Works in Davenport, Iowa, how
grand it felt to cut fine dido along
the rails. Now life doesn't hold
much for me.
I've seen plenty though. I wit
messed many anxious days when the
Colorado was high and the current
cut into the banks and leyees near
was then that they really knew what
a good engine was. I hauled plenty
of cars loaded with rock for that
levee in my time. I'll have you know.
And then for years, after Laguna
Dam was built, just sat and blist-
cred in the sun without thing to
do. 1t was pretty swell when the
movie company said they were going
to take me to Hollywood to rent me
out to other producers.
I had sort of counted on seeing
Mae West. I've heard a lot of stories
about her.

DRIVING AN AUTO IN
ALL>AMERICAN CANAL

Just for the ducks of it you
stop a tractor at the top and
climb aboard. The driver grins
and makes room for you on the
seat. just ahead of you is a motor
with cylinders almost as big as
your waist. The exhaust is not
the staccato bark of an auto but
cracking thunder. The driver pulls
his machine around and starts
for the edge. You look over the
side. It's a sickenly long drop.
The caterpillar starts out into
space. Your heart and stomach
exchange places several times, rap
idly. Suddenly you plunge down.
ward, as in a roller coaster and go
sliding to the bottom in a swirl
of dust and sand.
AT the bottom you hop off and
rejoin Fertig. You try to talk,
but there's too much noise. Back
at the car you lapse into silence.
Even the wild ride across country
over sand dunes fails to sake the
picture from your mind. A strange
exhiliration comes for you've seen
more than history in the making.
You've seen a tremendous dream
being fulfilled.
And yet, maybe you're too much
the sentimentalist. Maybe it is
just men and machines, mules and
mud.
Imperial Valley press., 1936-02-09

You get out and start slogging
through the sand and suddenly
become aware of a terrific racket.
Maybe a half dozen machine guns,
all firing at once, would sound like
it. You top a rise and the full
force of the ain almost pushes
you backward. Ten. twenty, thirty
tractors are going full blast few
feet away, milling, churning, turn
ing.
Imagine a steep valley of new
turned earth. Take score of war
tanks and send them chasing each
other up and down the slopes.
Then add a boiler factory din
and you have a mild picture.
The tractors are doing the same
job as the men and mules did,
scooping earth from below and
dragging it up on top with ponder
Gus scoop shovels. The sides of
the canal-to-be are unbelievably
steep. The caterpillars grunt and
puff going up, wheel and with
shovels loaded idle up to the edge
of the bank and start over. For
a second half the machine hangs
in space. Then it topples over
and starts down with motor rae
ing. The driver works madly, pull
ing ropes to release his load of
dirt.

The lowest percentage of delin-

in 1929, when it stood at 1921.
The result of the collections be-
tween the date they became due
and the delinquency date was
gratifying, Miss Barry said, and
denotes increasing confidence in
a return of normal business condi-

November Collections
November collections of the first
installment totaled $28,826.98 and
the December collections $377 554.-

the first installment.
Many landowners paid the Sec

the first inStallment became due.
Miss Barry said. Thus in Novem-
Der $7,83050 in second installment
collections had been made and at
the end of December $18,551.55
brought the total to 26,38205.
The second installment assess
ment totals $568024.38 thus $751;
642.83 was uncollected as of the
last Monday in December, 1885.
This is an uncollected percentage
of 95.35. The second installment
payments, however, do not be-
come delinquent until the last
Monday in June 1886.
To date the current assessment
payments total 1882, 763.49. The
1885 assessment, including both
installments, totals $1,136049 n
and the uncollected amount is

Redemptions OF delinquent sales
in November reached a total of
$8,916.55 and in December 49,

The tax rate for the year was

Kuumann Belittles Fame
Meteoric Opera Career Fails to Spoil
"The American Gentleman"
BY ALICE EVERsMAN.

Faust, Don Jose and Pinkerton come
to life In the person Of Charles Kull-
mann young American tenor of the
Metropolitan Opera, who was intro
duced to q Washington audience this
morning at Mrs. Townsend's Morning
Musicale at the Mayfiower Hotel.
It was Kullmann's recent debut In
Faust ut the Metropolitan that brought
1000 Yale men to New York in special
trains. He has justified the belief
In his talent, which made his univer-
sity professors urge him to abandon .
career as a, physician to become q
professional singer.
But In spite of all this fame and
attention, he remains q charming
American gentleman, vigorous, direct
and unassuming, passing OF with q
light word all attempts Of an inter-
viewer to stress the magnitude OF his
achievements. Although already ia
nous on two continents, he Is boyish
and natural, not taking life too seri-
ously. Under q modest exterior Is
hidden an earnestness as regards his
art and a devotion to ideals that
spurred him on to mastering all the
difficulties in the path Of an American
singer bidding for European recogni-
ton.
Won Klemperer's Attention.
And recognition came quickly, as
though the opportunity awaited his
coming. 1t seems tenor was needed
tor Nine. Butterfly" and Kullmann
was taken to Otto Klemperer, famous
conductor. for an addition. He had
been only Two months in the German
capital and was not so solidly grounded
in the language, but he sang the
opening measures of the first act In
English and, like q good American,
came out strongly on the Star Span
gled Banner" phrases which Puccini
has incorporated into the part Of the
American Naval officer.
This was all that was necessary for
Klemperer to realize that here was
the Pinkerton needed. So Kullmann
learned the role in German and sang
it shortly thereafter at the Kroll Opera
with such success that ne was engaged
Tor other roles. Later, ne sang at tne
Staatsopera under such great conduc-
tors as Klemperer, Furtwaengler. Blech
| and others.
From Berlin he went to the Vienna
State Opera, where he still holds the
place as leading tenor, singing Faust"
"Rigcletto." Butterfly" and all the lyric
roles Of the Italian repertoire. Last
year he added to his fame with ap-
pearances in Salzburg with Toscanini
and at Covent Garden, London. Row
he is one OF the most successful new
comers on the rostrum Of America s
great opera company.

Lewis Calls for Settlement
On Capitol Hill, Senator Lewis,
Democrat, of Illinois, called On Great
Britain and France, the two largest
debtors, "to make some effort now"
to settle. Using financial problems in
this country as q springboerd for re-
newal of his protests against default,
the Illinois Senator recommended:
Since France and England have
lately entered into . joint compact OF
service and mutual contribution in all
matters of finance, peace or war-I
propose that to this there now be added
by these nations the obligation to issue
their Joint bonds of small denomina-
tion payable to the United States to
the full sum of not less than six billion
dollars. being but part payment OF the
Joint debt"
Lewis suggested the debtors provide
that all money due these countries
from Americans, in any form or from
any source, be paid to the United
States Treasury to be credited on the
bonds to the amount that shall cover
the interest"
European Offer Recalled.
In April, 1885, the Greek govern
ment, in negotiations with the League
of Nations Loans Committee and the
British Council Of Foreign Bondhold-
ers, offered a IS per cent interest pay
ment to European bondholders. They
rejected the offer, insisting on . SO
per cent payment.
At that time the State Department
called the Greek governments atten-
ion to the fact that, under the financ-
ing agreement, the American loan was
to receive the same security and treat
ment as other sections Of the stabiliza-
ton and refuge loan.

What's What
Behind News
in Capital
Corporation Financing
10 Pct. of Normal
During 1885.
BY PAUL MALLON.

TINE surging greenback boys In
Congress may be able to find
q better clue to the depres-
= sion trail II they will look
into the capital finance figures.
The best estimate ofiicially is that
corporations did about $400, 900
of new financing in 1885. That Is,
they raised and spent that much new
capital in their business.
The Average similar expenditure
for the years 1925, 1926, 1927 and
1928 was 81, $40, 10000. This amount
is roughly the normal yearly outlay
OF nep capital.
Thus 1t appears that the current
capital market is about 10 per cent
normal. The 80 per cent deficiency
is about $4,000, 900 900, which is just
about the amount Of President Roose-
velt's annual relief budget. II busi-
ness would raise and spend that nor
NAL amount annually there would be
little need for money tinkering, new
taxes, unemployment relief, and. In
fact, the whole depression situation.
All that the depression healers need
to do is to find . way to bring 1t
about.
Reasons Are Elusive.
When you start chasing reasons for
Stagnation of the capital market you
had better use a butterfly net. The
reasons are elusive.

You may hear more of the ''T" men

Congressmen are skeptical. II
Ogden Mills or Mellon had made such
q request, they would have thought
little Of it. But every one knows Mr..
Morgenthau fancies himself as an

suspicion lurking back in some con-
gressional minds that Mr.. Morgen-

That is why his consolidation legis-
lation was held up. The fact that the
State Department was seeking to
ascertain II any foreign governments
would object was only an excuse.
The man behind Al Smiths speech
was not Raskob or the Du Points, as
