overcast skies carried the promise of
additional precipitation.
The rain. which totaled .O6 of an
inch in El Centro ceased before

to prevail in the valley for several
days. Woodrow c. Jacobs, meteor
ologist, said.
At noon Tuesday the temperature
was 80 degrees with the humidity 88.
AT am. the temperature was 55
degrees and humidity SO.
Temperatures at the colder sta
tionS in the valley ranged from 80
to 35 degrees during the last several
days, Jacobs said, but only slight
damage to tender vegetables was
reported. Low clouds and gentle
to moderate southerly winds will
dispep any threat of further frost
until the storm passes, about We'd
nesday.
All valley towns reported light
sprinkles beginning shortly after 8
o'clock and continuing until noon.
Agriculture suffered slight dam
age. Lettuce cutting was slowed
with other crops unaffected.

American canal are completed, the
diversion works at the Internation--
al boundary below Yuma and the
canals in Mexico will be no longer
useful for delivery Of water to
lands in the United States, but
such diversion works and canals
will still be of value for delivery
OF water to lands in Mexico.
The disposition to be made OF
the canal system and other works
i'm Mexico is not known at this
time, but il is assumed that the
Compania will continue to func-
ton as in the past until the title
TO the property is passed to the
Mexican government, either in
accordance with the concession
under which these works have
been operated, or in accordance
with a treaty which probably Will
be entered into between Mexico
and the United States.
The All-American canal is be-
ing built large enough to serve the
Coachella Valley at the northerly
end of the Salton Sea and large
desert areas on the meSaS to the
east and west of the irrigated por-
ton of Imperial Valley The Coach
ella region will presumably not
become a part of Imperial lrriga-
ton District but the lands Oh the
East Mesa and on the West Mesa
must be brought into the district
within a reasonable period OF time.
Power Plants
Provision has been made in the
construction of All-American canal
for the installation of hydro-elec-
trio power plants at several points
along its course. In the years OF
negotiation which preceded con-
struction of this canal, the poten-
tialities of revenue from the sale
of power were an important ele-
ment.
Finally, in anticipation Of the
hydro electric power to become
available, Imperial Irrigation Dis
trict built a diesel-electric gener-
ating plant at BraWley, and in
May, 1886 commenced delivery of
power in competition with the
public utility company which here
tofore had had a virtual monopoly.
Later. the district obtained funds
from Public Works administration
for the enlargement of this diesel
electric plant and for the construc-
ton of one hydro electric plant on
American canal. 1t is now en-
gagged in the construction of an
electrical distribution system thru
cut the valley under contract with
the Rural ElectrificatiOn adminls-
tration; and it is expected that
the district will be in full cOmpeti-
ton with the public utility com
pany within a year.
Historical conditions of operation
are thus being changed radically.
The costs of operation and the
revenues which were customary in
the PAST may differ widely from
those in the future. The indebted
ness is being trebled and annual
fixed charges greatly increased
Consequently, the ability of the
district to meet its obligations can
not be judged solely from past
performance, and in the following
chapters of this report we have
set forth the principal factors
which lead us to the conclusion
that adjustment of the burden oil
Imperial Irrigation District is ne
Cessary.

The editors the statement said,

neither money nor effort to get the
facts.
The newspaper readers Of the
United States were more familiar with
the complicated succession Of incidents
abroad than was the public in the ma

This was the natural corallary Of a

BLUEM0NT ROAD
LOSS REVEALED
W. & o. D. Offers Testimony
for Abandonment of
Short Line.

Representatives Of the Washington
A Old Dominion Railway testified BE-
fore Examiner j. K. Lyle that their
company carried 2e0 passengers last
month between Purcellville and Blue
mont, Va, a 7-mile stretch Of track
which the line wishes to abandon, and
during the first seven months Of this
year hauled but l9 carloads Of freight,
weighing GIT tons.
$4,000 Yearly Loss.
At that rate, they said, they were
losing over $4,000 year on the 7-mils
stretch. Expenditure for the section
was $l0,300 last year, as compared
with $5,400 revenue from all sources.
G. c. Baggett vice president and gen.
eral manager Of the electric road, said
passenger and freight had fallen OF
continuously since 1882. He testified
that truck competition had caused
shippers in the region practically to
abandon his line. Once, he said, tbs
railway carried practically all Of tbs
milk from that area to Washinaton,
but now milk is shipped by truck at
rates which the line cannot meet sue
cessfully.
$500 Operating Privilege.
Questioning brought out that the
line is paying the Southern Railroad
$500 month for operation privileges
on the 54-mile right OF way and that,
if the 7-mile strip between the two
Virginia counties is abandoned the
payment would not be reduced.
Appearing in protest were represent
atives OF shippers and residents served
by the railway, Among the opponents
were Earl C. Iden. representing Blue
mont citizens; Bryant A. Long Of
Washington, representing the Electric
Railroaders' Association; and J. Rus
sell Smith, representing Round Hill

BALKAN AXIS AIM
Of GERMANY NOW
Funk Invites Ministers of
YugosIavia, Bulgaria,
Turkey to Berlin.
By WALLACE r. DEUEL..

Chicago Daily News Foreign Correspondent
BERLIN, Oct. IT (By Radio The
forging of Balkan axis carrying
German political and economic hege-
mony clear to the Black Sea was an
nounced here today by DR., Walther
Funk, Reich minister of economics. IN
an interview with the Berlin news
paper B. z. am Mittag. granted upon
the minister's return last night from a
trade tour of Yugoslavia Bulgaria and
Turkey.
DR.. Funk has invited the ministers
of economics of all three countries to
visit Berlin to engage in further nego-
tiations for strengthening the new
axis" he told the B. T.
The minister achieved on his trip
everything he set out to achieve. he
said. and he referred with special sat-
isfaction to the agreement he con-
cluded with Turkey. under which the
Reich is granting credit of $50 900, 900
marks (S60OO0,OOO to Turkey which
Turkey is to use for financing pur-
chases of industrial equipment and
al lildlIltIlJS III Sci HidliS.
Credits for Construction.
Much Of this credit will be used to
pay for constructing mining and
industrial Establishments and for
building a naval base DR.. Funk said
These and other projects will result
in big orders for German railway and
bridge materials chemicals. machin-
cry and electrical equipment
We discussed principally the ques-
ton of how the productive capacities
of these three countries can be devel-
oped with German help" DR.. Funk
said, $50 that they can export more
to Germany and import more from us
"Yugoslavia. Bulgaria and Turkey,
which are politically friendly, consti-
tute a sort of Balkan axis which ex-
tends from the German frontier to
the Black Sea- the minister went
on. This fact has made it possible
to make plans for joint large-scale
constructive programs involving all
three countries, such as, for example,
road-bullding projects and long
distance telephone lines.
Rich Natural Resources.
"The three countries have rich nat
ural resources. especially ores, which
have not been exploited up to the
present, but which now will be. Also
such farm products as Germany espe-
cially requires and which satisfy the
Reich's qualitative standards will now
be cultivated to a greater extent. like
cotton and Oil Seeds DR.. Funk de-
clared.
This tendency is already strongly
marked in Yugoslavia. Bulgaria and
Turkey, DR.. Funk said In all three
countries economic conditions are
stable largely because approximately
one-half Of all their foreign trade
is with Germany, the Minister de-
clared.
Centering on the Reich, a regional
economy is being built up from the
Baltic and North Sea to Bagdad, DR..
Funk said. Southeastern Europe and
Asia Minor have almost everything
Germany needs he declared, and he
pointed out that already Germany
buys more in Southeastern Europe
than from the United States. France
and England combined.
