TELEPHONE LINE SOLD
w. F. Holt Sells to the Arizona Com.
 pany.

The PRESS some weeks ago announced the proba ble sale in the near fntnre of our local telephone system to the Ari- zona Company.
 That sale has now been consum- mated and the local system, all built and owned by w. F. Holt, has been sold to the Arizona Consolidated Telegraph and Telephone Go. for $15,OOO, the transfer to be made October l.
 The Arizona Company was seeking a long distance service to connect with the Sunset, either at San Diego or Red lands, and to that end wished either traffic arrangement with or a pur- chase of our local system. The latter was decided on. The line is about 100 miles long, from Old Beach to Calexico, with branches to Holtville and Silsbee.
 The same employees will remain with the service.

TWO BANKS COMING
One for Calexico, One for HoltvilIe-

w. F. Holt, the father of general inn provements in the Imperial Valley, has two more up his sleeve in bank each for Calexico and Holtville. They will have $25, ,OO0 capital each, and be opened for business in about sixty to ninety days, or as soon as buildings can be prepal ed for them.
 These, with the one soon to be opened at Heber, will make three new banks to be opened this fall in the Imperial Val ley. There are now the First Nationa, Bank of this place and the Imperial Val ley Bank of Brawey.
 Five banks in the Imperial Valley the country below the sea-has a TO- mantle sound, but will soon be fact.
 The new banks are not yet named. neither is it decided whether they will be state or national.

BRAWLEY Happenings of the Week
 From the North End.

D. L. Russell is taking months va cation in Los Angeles.
 Lew Varney and wife have returned from their weeks vacation.
 The contract has been let for rebuild ing the hotel that was burned last June; it will be enlarged and ten rooms added to it. Work will be rushed so as to have it completed as soon as possi- ble and ready for the winter visitors.
 The Stah Bros. have an. excellent crop of corn, and are contemplating putting in about 300 head of steers to fatten. They expect to ship in soon about forty head of milch cows. They are going to dispose of most of their hogs, numbering nearly 400 head.
 The road between here and Imperial is fairly good now, the canals having been bridged with substantial bridges. Indeed, this road would be the best in the Valley if the farmers living beside it would be little more careful and not flood it. Imperial needs to fix it's end of this highway a little. Good roads are essential; let's have them.
 Some time ago the Railroad Company issued orders to build depot at Braw- ley, but it was withheld, they wanting certain grounds for right of way which the town company has granted to them, so the order issued some time ago will go into effect at once. Also stock yards will be put in and arranged so as to un- load and load stock of all kinds. With all these improvements going on, Braw- ley will soon put on business-like air.
 The News has it that improvements are soon to begin there on some matters long deferred. Last week a gang of men was put to work on the water works and in very short time they will have it so that all can get water along Main street. Connected with the water works will be an ice house to store ice and distilled water so that it will be handled on the same basis as a Imperial. Thus ice will cost one cent a pound in 100 pound lots. Also the same engine that will run the water works will be used to run a 300 light electric plant, light from which will be sold at a very low rate.

REMEDIES FOR BRAIN
AND NERVE DISEASES

1t has somewhat sardonically been
said that a nervous disease is one In
which the diagnosis is uncertain and
there is no treatment. The energies OF
many skilled physicians have during
the past quarter of a century tended
largely to overthrow the first part OF
this reproach, and signs are not want
ing that efforts are being made to take
the sting out of the latter thrust as
well. But, while prescriptions as to the
physic and the bodily food which are to
be consumed by nervous patients
abound, very little attention has hither-
to been paid to their mental pabulum.
The late Mr.. Marcus Beck. far in adj
vance of his time, once cured boy OF
historical hip disease by taking him
away from school and prescribing .
course Of Jane Austen's novels. 1t IL
also customary for those who carry out
DIR. Weir Mitchells course of treatment
to limit the patients reading to what
may be called bland and nonirritating
materials.
Very little attempt, however, has been
made in this country to systematize the
subject. In Germany the case is differ
ent, ana DOCKS anu papers ny IlHSWdu-
ger, DUNN and others are open for all
who wish to consult them. Recently
also, DR.. B. Lacquer of Wiesbaden pub
lished short but interesting paper
upon this topic. He starts with the
perfectly true statement that many OF
the medical procedures employed in the
treatment Of nervous disease are mere
ly intended as vehicles for the real
method of cure. which is psyche thera-
peutical. He condemns the consump-
ton of exciting literature by boys and
girls, and Instead OF alcohol, theaters
music hall, concert room and newspaper
he recommends from twelve TO thir-
teen hours sleep. steady. moderate
sport. every inducement TO the obserya-
ton OF nature and everything which
tends to improve the senses, the whols
of the muscles and to render the sub
jects children of the country and not
of the town.

Fraud Order Issued Against
the Son of the Great Elec-
trio Inventor
FATHER MADE THE REQUEST
Junior Edison Was Promoting Com
pany For Sale of Edison Electric
vitaIizer, An Article Which the FL
der Edison Claims Is of No Value
Whatever as Cure for Disease,

Washington, Oct. 5.--Acting on the
complaint of Thomas A. Edison, the
inventor, the postoffice department has
Issued fraud order against the Thom-
as A. Edison, Jr., Chemical Company,
and Thomas A. Edison, Jr., and all
employees and agents of the company
acting as such, barring them from
the mails. The article on which the
fraud order is based is the Edison
electric magnetic vitalizer," which the
company represented as being the in
vention of young Edison, and as being
q sure cure for nearly all human all
ments, including deafness.
Although the order is directed
against young Edison, and his father
is the complainant, there is no i'll
feeling between the distinguished cleo
trician and his son, who, his father
swears, has never shown the least in
dication Of inventive faculty, and never
helped him in any of his experiments
except in a purely clerical capacity.
The object of the elder Edison was
to prevent the use of the Edison name
to advertise what he contended was a
fraudulent article without the slight
est merit The postoffice department
agrees with him, and hereafter the
chemical company will have to find
some way other than the mails for
communicating with customers
The issuance Of the order has a wild
er significance. 1t is that the depart
ment is about to enter upon an exam
ination of mechanical and electrical
appliances represented as having cur
alive powers. 1t is not the purpose of
the department to undertake to deter
mine whether the appliances have such
properties, but merely whether, as ma
cines, the appliances are operative.
This is the second attempt the elder
Edison has made to stop the use of
name by the company. He asked the
New York courts to do it on the ground
that the company was trying to lead
the public into believing he was the In
ventor. They held that the deception,
If there was any, was not of material
difference, so the company continued
selling machines the patent office said
would not work for So, making a profit
Of about $6 on each machine.

In the real sense of the term An
drew Jackson was the champion sport
among the presidents. He was an ar
dent follower of rough and ready out
door activity Of all kinds, but his spe-
cialty was the breeding and matching
of gamecocks. In this somewhat pie
befan diversion he took as much in
terest as any Mexican peon or untu-
tored backwoodsman could have felt
and frequently wagered much more
than he could afford to lose on the re-
suits of these sanguinary conflicts.
Lincoln and Grant were notable ex-
ponents of the strenuous life. The for
mer's early years were lived in the
woods, and he was a famous hunter
even in Kentucky, that habitat of good
shots. Cares of state took possession
time to discuss the merits of good
horse. General Grant was far more at
his ease on horseback than on foot and
he was so welded to the freedom OF
the outdoor life of camps and the open
field that he always chafed over in
door confinement.
Grover Cleveland's fondness for open
air sports amounts to a passion. No
prospect Of personal discomfort or Sc
we're bodily exertion has ever served as
a deterrent when an alluring PROPOSE
ton either to shoot or to fish has pre-
scented itself. No modern disciple OF
the genial Sir Izaak Walton is more
loyal in his devotion to the teaching OF
