Water in Canal
Remains Shut Off

All-American canal still is dry
the Bureau of Reclamation having
failed to restore the flow Saturday
according to an announcement made
to the Imperial Irrigation District
with word that repairs at Imperial
dam had been completed.
It was understood water would
be turned back into the canal Tues
day.
Water was shut off last Wednes-
day when 1t was found that some
of the rock lining of the bypass
channels through the cesilting
works had washed away. The con-
dition was similar to the failure
OF that type of construction at the
time of dedication of the works in
1888.
Temporary repairs were complet-
eG Sunday night and some water
was flowing into the canal, but this
also stopped.
Chairman Evan T. HeweS of the
district board of directors has made
an appeal to all valley users to be
as conservative as possible until
full flow is reestablished. In the
meantime reserve power plants are
in operation, Hewes announced.
In connection with the Shut-off
Chairman Hewes said:
THE water users of Imperial VAL
ley must realize that Imperial Irri-
cation District has no control or
authority in connection with oper-
ating Imperial Dam and the ALL
American Canal. They are control
led and operated by the Bureau OF
Reclamation, and the district is en-
tirely dependent upon the bureau
for information as to what that
agency's intentions are concerning
any program which will make water
available to the water users of I'M
perial Irrigation District"

Pass the Gravy

Another phase of the striped
gravy question was taken up Mon
day by M. Garrett of Ell Centro.
M. Garrett said, There was such
an argument about this striped or
stricked, or brown eyed gravy to
some. Now that it's settled, please
tell us where to get the ham and
the points. Mrs. Cash is correct.
An anonymous reader said on the
subject, "As an expert on striped
gravy, I will tell you what. 1t is
nothing more than the gravy that is
taken out of the fry pan where the
ham has been cooked. To make
the gravy a little more striped, put
a little water in the fry pan and
pour it in the gravy. P. S. where
do you find the hams around here?"
AS to the ham question, RR
jumped out of the Trying pan into
