FERTILE VALLEY MAY NOT REMAIN T R N[]T[I] INT, S MUHI]ER GANG MEMBER - e NOTED IN WAR;{ETI. Western Alea Likely to Reveu to Desert Land Bishop, Cal, Dec. 28 (®)—Owens Valle lled on the eastern slope of the high Sierras, once a fertile, productive reglon where cattle roum ed its grassy floor and fruits and grains grew in abundanc is threat | tendent Dwight Skinner reports that ‘lh-- club yesterday, ened with return to the desert wastes | from which hardy ploncers reclaim cd it more than half a century ago. Water, the nnial point of con troversy west, formerly flow the banks of the Owens river and into canals and ditches dug by the arly settlers to irrigate the ficlds and orchards. Now it has been di verted into the Los Angeles aqueduct to supply the nceds of the city, 226 miles southward. Citizens of the valley declare the ity used arbitrary methods to get the water, when, in an agent alleged to have been disguised as a cral offictal, entered the region nd made filings along the Owens river for some 40 miles. His filings included storage rights which the valley people had give nback to the government in exchange for what they understood to be a project to reclaim 150,000 acres of the desert stretehes | mediate, junior and senjor depart | ments of the First Congregational | The agent, they say, later proved | to he employed by the city of Los Angele Instead of the reclamation project, the city announced plans to build an aqueduct and carry the wa- ter southward, During the four years of drought that followed the first land acquisi- | tion, the city negotiated with ranch ers for rights along canals and ditches, and soon obtained virtual control of one of the larger c systems. Ifs waters were diverted into the aquednel, leaving adjoining ranches arid. Resentment, generated through the years, found a climax the night of May 21, 1924, when 40 or 50 rafders dynamited the huge conerete es, near the first large reser No a however, and the explos v placed, failed to dams duct materially, Investi jeved it an act of warning _l.lm.- Girl Dying At Hosphtal While |y q 10 \yonoi) Tsiand peniten has the committee are Arthur Berg, H.
