Brickers fake economy has neglected the highways
and allowed them to be piled with day after
day. The icy places have not been protected, The
result has been tremendous increase in winter acci

maintenance of the others.

Brclcr had very little Of the problem left regard

this is his miserable handling OF the Building and

much they would have been in
Sonora, Mexico a hundred years
ago." Mark replied.
Another climax came when the
chief construction engineer OF the
bureau came to the valley for q
look at the sand hills where spon-
sorS wished a canal to cross. The
engineer didn't say a word all day
long as he rode with Mark in a
Model-T equipped for sand travel.
When they had skirted the last
dune and studied the last figure on
sand shift, the engineer said:
"Is this where they say canal
can't be dug? We've got a hundred
feet of water running in worse
places than this. This is just a big
job that's all"
When Mark ran into opposition
from the board of the Imperial Ir-
rigation district, he altered that
old political maxim IF you can't
beat EN-, join 'em" to fit his pur-
pose. He "joined" the board in
1920 and has been there ever since
AS he put it himself:
It decided to fight from Within.
In the Drivers Seat
That began decade of fiercel

trict board, but never as chairman.
A band of four-Rose, Charles Chill
ders, M. J. Dowd and F. H. McIver
carried the fight from Washington
to the west coast and back again.
There is story told about the
time that these four marched into
conference in Denver. There were
senators there and congressman and
engineers whose names we're known
beyond the borders of the United
States.
In walked Mark Rose, unshaved
and in dusty clothes, carrying a
ragged briefcase. Then came the
districts attorney, Childers. in a
high, white collar, looking more
like a man of the cloth than sharp
lawyer. Behind were McIver, district
treasurer, bald and nondeScript, and
Chief Engineer Dowd, unassuming
and expressionless with a cherubic
face that hid his powers.
"Who are those 'hunyaks'?' asked
a distinguished senator. what are
they doing here?'
Just wait awhile, and you'll see" 3"
whispered the senator's friend,
They'll walk out of here with
everything they want
They did.

| Marx ROSe, lllc Ciiuiihy III So@'
of Imperial Valley politics for four
decades, put new slant on Colorado
river development this week on the
eve of a celebration to greet first
water down the canal for which he
fought so many bitter battles.
"Those who live on the brink OF
a volcano fear it the least we
in Imperial Valley live too close
to the All Amelcan canal and It's
children. Boulder dam and the Los
Angeles aqueduct, to realize their
magnitude Rose declared while
his bulldog jaws chomped the
familiar cigar rom one SIDE 10
another.
FATHER ALL AMERICAN
1.-The All American is no child
of Boulder dam. It's the other way
around. Without our fight Tor a
canal there never would have been
such a thing as Boulder, or the
aqueduct, or the hundreds OF miles
of power lines.
His face, covered by the comfort
able white bristle of two days beard,
dlIeIIldUely elllbIidOiS oiiA ~ NSi''
with the memory of SLY coup,
Mark tried to retrace the tangled
sequence of events that marked the
long campaign.
9" never was much of a man
to think OF yesterday" he explained
as the memories came tumbling
back. There was little continuity.
but swarm of anecdotes.
"I don't know how the idea OF an
All American first started. There
had always been talk of it, ever
since difficulties with controlling
the canal in Mexico developed"
Saw The Dangers
Mark was among the first to enter
the fight. He saw. as the others did
that first of all the valley must
control its own water supply. Later
he realized the dangers of silt and
lack of drainage that have been the
finish Of other great irrigation prof.

'ects. And along with these realiza-
tions that most important of all,
the Colorado rivers alternate flood
and drought had to be solved.
It wasn't just Mark Rose who
had these thoughts. 1t was small
but growing band of farmers. None
of Marks friends will deny, and
none of his enemies can deny, hoW-
ever, that Mark was the spark OF
that band. 1t was his enthusiasm
and his terrific drive that kept the
campaign for an All American canal
alive.
Mark Rose first went to Washing
ton, D. c., in 1915 to get permis-
sion for running canal survey
north of the International border.
He proposed to start diversion at
Laguna dam. That was the first
of many stormy conferences Mark
had at the capital.
First time I talked with Secre-
tary Lane we both got mad and
cuSsed eacn other out . The next
time l was in Washington I planted
myself in a chair and said I would
MT get out until I had what l
wanted"
The All American now follows
fairly closely the line of those early
surveys.
Many Enemies
Besides political foes and financial
interests who feared development
of public power, proponents of the
canal also had to fight the sincere
doubters who said it couldn't be
done. The sand hills were too much
of an obstacle, they said. The shift
ing dunes would swamp canal in
no time, they added
How much 40 you think those
dunes move in a year," Mark once
asked A. p. Davis of the Reclama-
ton Bureau.
"Oh, several hundred feet" Marx
quoted Davis as replying.
