IRRIGATION OF j
VALLEY LANDS
, IS DISCUSSED
;
SAN DIEGO, Cal., Aug. <5 'by Asso-j
dated Press).—Irrigation problems
connected with the utilization of the
waters of the Colorado river discussed
at a conference here called by Dir
ector Arthur P. Davis of the United
States reclamation service.
Representer at this conference are
the Imperial irrigation district, the
American Legion, Coachella valley
district, The California-Mexico Land
Company, West Side Imperial Irriga
tion Company, Yuma Water Users
Association, Palo Verde Water Com
pany of the city of Los Angeles, the
city of San Diego, the All American
Canal Association of Los Angeles
and the League of the Southwest
which represents the states of Wyom
ing, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Arizona,
New Mexico and California.
Director Davis has specified the
discussion shall turn upon the pro
vinces of the Kinkaid act. This bill
was passed by congress and signed
by the president last May. It directs
the secretary of the interior to inves
tigate and recommend plans to solve
the irrigation and reclamation prob
lems of the Imperial valley and adja
cent territory. The government has
provided $20,000 for this investiga
tion and the Imperial valley and other
beneficiaries will provide $40,000
more. The investigation, of course, is
conducted by the United States re
clamation service and has already
begun at Boulder Canyon, on the Col
orado river just below the Grand
Canyon.
If the plan Director Davis has in
mind is accepted by congress when
the report is made next December, j
Boulder canyon at the southern ex
tremity of Nevada, north of Needles,
and on the northeast boundary of
Arizona will become the highest dam
site in the world with a reservoir 40
miles long. The dam is to be be
tween 450 and 500 feet high and will j
store 25,000,000 acre feet of water.
It will generate between 450,000
and 500,000 horse-power of electrical
energy. The power to be generated by
this dam will be available for San
Diego and will help tremendously in
furnishing the energy to drive indus
tries which are certain to come to
San Diego.
One of the basic reasons for the in
vestigation called for by the Kinkaid
bill is to determine the feasibility of
building the all-American canal which
has been under discussion for years
in Imperial valley. Director Davis has
emphatically endorsed the plan. If
canal Is built, between 400,000 and
500,000 acres of land in the Imperial
valley now arid will be reclaimed and
will practically double the wealth of
the valley.
CUMBERS REACH TOP i
OF COLORADO PEAK
DENVER. Colo., Aug. 6 (by Associ
ated Press).—Crestone Needles, long
an “unclimbed” peak of southern Colo
rado, was scaled recently by four j
members of the Colorado Mountain j
Club. The four reported nothing was j
found on the top to indicate the peak
had ever been climbed before. To
reach the summit, the climbers said,
they were forced to fight their way;
upward through deep snowbanks and
to climb cliffs hanging high over deep
canyons. At one place they passed
through an electrical storm.

GOPHER ERADICATION
SAVES MUCH WHEAT
REGINA, Sask., Aug. 5 (by Associ
ated Press).—Destruction by school
children of approximately 2,000,000
gophers last spring saved about 1,000,
000 bushels of grain, officials have
estimated. To encourage destruction
of the animals, the provincial govern
ment offered prizes of Shetland ponies,
sheep and pure-bred pigs to the chil
dren with the largest “kill.” Elmer j
Oliver of Colgate won first prize with
11,171 dead gophers to his credit.

SUGAR STRIKE
IN HONOLULU
IS SETTLED UP
HONOLULU, Aug. 6 (by Associated
Press).—The strike of" sugar planta
tion laborers, principally Japanese and
Filipinos, which began last January,
has been declared off, following a con
ference between a committee of labor
ers and John Waterhouse, president
of the Hawaii Sugar Planters’ Associa
tion. Immediately the striking labor
ers began pouring back to the planta
tions and approximately all of the
men have returned to the fields and
mills.
Upwards of 8,000 workers originally
joined the strike, but of these about
2,000 Filipinos returned to work be- t
fore the walkout was declared over,
while several hundred Japanese also
went back.
Officials of the Hawaiian Laborers'
Association, successor to the Federa
tion of Japanese labor which called
the strike, in telling the members of
the organization to return to work,
are reported as having claimed victory
for the workers. This view was also
taken in reports of the strike’s end
printed in Japanese papers of Hono
lulu. which intimated that certain con
cessions, presumably as to wages,
bonus rates and working hours, had
been obtained from the planters.
President Waterhouse of the plant
ers’ association, however, emphatically
announced that the association in deal
ing with the committee of laborers
had not been dealing with the labor
ers’ federation, but with the workers
themselves, and that no concessions
had been made by the planters’ asso
ciation, and that the strikers would
have to apply for work on the status
of new hands.
In Japanese circles confidence is ex
pressed that there will be a readjust
ment of wages and other details in the
autumn.
The planters’ association has made
no announcement as to the loss in
sugar, if any, caused by the strike.
Estimates in sugar and Japanese cir
cles place the loss to the Japanese
strikers at upwards of $4,000,000. This
does not include the losses suffered by
the Filipinos and strikers of other na
tionalities.
SHIRLEY MASON TONIGHT
IN A PLEASING COMEDY
AT EMPRESS THEATER
A delightful story and a pleasing
star combine to make Shirley Mason’s
latest picture, “The Pinal Closeup,”
excellent comedy entertainment. The
situations throughout are fun provok
ing, but there are touches of pathos
that add to the appeal of this merry
little picture. It’s the story of a little
department store girl clerk who had
no money, but lots of spunk. She
wanted a vacation, and she thought it
would be wonderful if things happened
to her as they do in 'the movies.
She gets her vacation, and she also
lands in the middle of a lot of excite
ment that ended in the most approved
style of “final closeup.” And every
body knows what the “final closeup”
is in the movies—the most important
part of the picture, of course.
You might think that a frying pan
is intended for cooking. Just so.
Shirley Mason, as dainty little Nora
Nolan, found it an excellent weapon
for “cooking the goose” of a couple
of crooks. How? Well, that’s where
some of the fun comes in—tonight at
the Empress.
