Kl Centro and Ttrawley. cities of the Imperial Valley, are ,r0 and 110 feet, respectively, below sea level while the river, near Viima, is rjo feet above set level, and at Hie head of the delta region the Volcano Jjske region, south of Imperial Valley, the river moves onwari at. an elevation 3Q0 to 4(10 feet higher than the lowest portions of Imperial Valley. Barrier, placed If not restrained by artificial bar riera, any overtopping of the river's west and north, or right, bank would send its mass of water in a flood down a slope into the Imperial Valley. This would inundate one of the richest val ley, in Ihe country, the land of the date, the avocado, cotton,, lettuce anil fruila and melons. All this ia the Sulton basin. The region Is known as Talo Verde, Coachella and Imperial Valleys. The Imperial Valley proper comprises about nin.OnO acre, of Irrigable 'land In California and IWfl.OOO acres In Mexico. All of this highly productive area lies below tho low water level of ihe river and much of it I. below sea level. More than 400.000 acres in California anil 170,0011 acres In .Mexico are cultivated. Water is di verted for irrigation from Mookwond heading, about a mile upstream from the International Houndary. running through a canal known aa Alamo Riv er through Mexican territory and hack to the California side. Valley Protected The valley first wa. protected from flondwnters by headwaters of the canal half is irrigated. The flood menace increased each year owing to the enormous deposit of silt in the river bed, which raises its level annually.

Not a matter of opinion, nor of . price But one of selected crude, modern facilities, and careful refining. An example of this is Aristo Motor Oil. It is made with quality as the only consideration. Yet its price is almost half that of eastern oils. The reason for this is simple: Aristo does not carry excessive freight costs from the east. It is refined in California, from western crude of select quality. And it benefits by volume production. Aristo combats the for mation of carbon. It is an unexcelled lubricant. If, in fact, a better lub. ricant were possible re gardless of price it would be made by theUnion Oil Company of California. Aristo is sold wherever you see the Union Oil sign.
