 The money in the treasury of the company is sufficient for grading and bridging the road as for as the town of Imperial, and this work will be com menced without delay, and it will be pushed to completion.
 w. F. Holt has been in correspon- dence for some time with New York capitalists who propose to take the bonds of the company after the grad ing is completed thus furnishing the money to complete the road and sup ply the rolling stock.
 The building of this railroad and its branches settles the fact that the town of Imperial is to become the commer- cial center of the Imperial Settlements, surrounded eventually, and at no dis tant day by 50O,0O0 acres of irrigated land in this state, 10 say nothing of more than half as much more south of the International boundary line in Lower California.

Mather of the Imperial and Gulf Railroad company arrived in Imperial from Los Angeles Wednesday evening, having driven from Imperial Junction over the pio- posed route for the road. MT. Holt is here to rig up camping outfit for the engineering corps and get the work started. He stated that he would go to Los Angeles on business trip next week, after which he expects to devote his entire time to this enter prise until the road is completed, spending a greater part of his time in the field of operation. Engineer Mather expects to have his corps in the field running lines early next week.

Unsuccessful Attempts of Burglar
on Twentieth Street Last
Evening.

Two unsuccessful attempts at
burglary were made early last even
ing on Twentieth street. One was
at Dolly Bros shoe store. where the
thief succeeded i'm effecting an en-
trance. and the other at Ehleb's gro
Gerry, where the window shutters
proved too strong to yield to the as
sault made upon them. The party
who attempted the job narrowly es-
capped apprehension in the act and
sufficient circumstantial evidence has
been found to keep him uncomfort-
able for time, even if he is not
brought to justice.
At Dollys' the shutter was pried
open and the lower sash of the win
dow raised. The cash drawer was
found to be empty, and while the
intruder was i'm the act of examining

store. The latter noticed that the

was out and he also heard noise, so

unoccupied, Mrs. Brawley having

Mrs. Fezler was asked to look after
the house and its contents. The

by prying open Il window and the
house had been ransacked. An in

house this morning failed to throw
any light upon the number or value
of the articles taken and this will
