The department Of agriculture has
recently received some representatives
Of IA new tyne Of insect life. in the line
of several specimens of the fOrked
fungus beetle. which heretofore has
beer considered stranger in these
parts. The visitors were subjected
10 a critical examination by several of
the expert bugOlogiSts connected with
the Capitol. hut one and all decided
that they did not care to assume the
responsibility of naming the bugs, al
though one or two had their theories
rs to what they We're.
Finally. the specimens We're sent up
"a Miss Patch. the entomOlogist 1T the
University Of Maine. and by her their
identity was established The bugs
in question are the forked fungus
beetle. that is, that is the United
states name for them. but they have
q scientific name. also. which is much
DYE formidable. and far less easily
pronounced. and which is omitted on
that account.
The fungus beetle is not an Adonis
among others of his kind. and it is very
doubtful if anything in the insect
, world has less claims to any Su2EeS-
ton of beauty than does he. He IS
about the size of a potato bug. hut
while the potato bug is symmetrical
in shape, the fungus beetles general
contour is decidedly rectilinear. with a
corrugated back and divers FRO
tuberances emanating from dfferen,
parts Of his body. In color. the beetle
is three or four shades darker than
dark brown.
A distinctive feature about him. in
addition to his shape. is an atmosphere
that surrounds him. and becomes TO-
ticeable to the observer upon near APP
proach. 1t is not easily described
but when compared to it the vel
known aroma which arises from the
ever popular New England boiled
dinner. in course of preparation. is
as ambrosia. The beetle is sup
posed to feed upon the fungus

HOItville Going Ahead Rapidly

Superintendent Frank c. Bayless, who drove the first stakes for the new town of Holtville, and is experimenting the building of the thriving city for capitalists%W F. Holt, c. S. Lombard c. A. Barker, A. G. Hubbard, M. M. Phinney, all of this city, arrived in Redlands yesterday on brief visit with his family.
 Prosperity, thrift, enterprise and magical growth is the boast of Holt ville," says Superintendent Bavless. w. F. Holt, the father of Imperial, and the owner of one of the finest residences in Redlands, where ahis family resides, is the chief promoter of Holtville. The town is thus far city of tents, mainly, but substantial brick buildings are under course of construction. Two hundred city lots have been sown to alfalfa, 1,2OO pepper and palm trees have been set out. Ten miles of irrigat- ing ditches furnish the city with water. There are two general merchandise stores, bakery, butcher shop, photo graph gallery, blacksmith shop, ice cream parlor, postoffice and daily mail by stage. A weekly newspaper will be started up there soon by Ellis & Co.,, of Brawley.
 Tbe First National Bank of Holtville has been organized, the capital stock has been subscribed and the doors of the institution will be thrown open for business next month. T. M. Todd, a real estate man of this city, will go to Holtville about September 1 to take charge of the bank.
 The second story of $15 ,OOO hotel is up; 1000 feet of fifty-two inch pipe for the electric power plant has been laid :, and canal nearly three miles long, 16 feet deep at the lower end, and l5O feet wide at the bottom, is one of the many great Improvements of the place. An inter-urban railroad is nearly ready for business. It connects for Hotv1lle at the junction of the Southern Pacific,
The Imperial press., 1904-05-14

The big 52-inch pipeline for the power plant is completed. The force on this power canal has been doubled up and work IS being rushed for an early completion.
 The second-story joists of the big hotel are in place, and the bricklayers will soon commence on the second story.
 Mrs. Belle Mead, who for more than a year had charge of Hotel Imperial, at Imperial, and later the Bungalow at Brawley, has leased the Holtville Hotel and mas bought out MT. Hollingsworth of the Tent Hotel, which she will run until the new structure is completer.
 Two hundred acres of town lots are all leveled and seeded to alfalfa, and the streets planted to peppers and palms.
 Ten miles of canals and laterals have been put in for distributing water over the town site.
 The timber has arrived for the differ ent bridges along the railroad line, and the engines and rolling stock have al- ready been purchased, and expected to arrive within a few days.
 The bonds of James s. Bridenstine as justice of the peace and constable of Holtville, in the sum of $1,OOO each, have been filed with the county clerk. His sureties are l. L. Wilson and I. L.. Sullivan.
 Superintendent Bayless has returned from Redlands, accompanied by his son.
 Wm Lindsey has bought out the in- terestsef his partner, MT. Jones, in the ownership of half section 511a miles southeast of Holtville, and will here after manage the property alone. Mir. Lindsey was the first settler in the Holt tract and has one of the prettiest half sections in the valley.

Shall No. 5 Be Divided?

The north end of No. 5, which is just getting water for the first time, is one of the best pieces of land in the whole val ley. Many go so far as to contend that it is the very best, but most of us think our own land is better than anybody else's. However. twenty or thirty men are at work getting their places in shape for the first crop, which gives the section lively appearance. The north end of No. is all soft land, not as sandy as No. 8, but not as hard as many other places. The land is more level than the average, and all who have land the -e are very enthusiastic. It is possible that there will be division in No. 5, and this end will be called No. 9. There are number who favor this division. All acknowledge that small district can be run much more cheaply and satisfactorily than a large one, but ies being given to some of the compan- they fear that the new district would not be mutual company, but be con trolled by outside influences. We do not believe that that would be the case. and in changing the stock from No. to
 
 give proxy, who dld not want to-. The history of the Imperial water companies is that as soon as they are settled up, they fall into the hands of the people.
 The editor is slightly interested in what would be No. 9 if the division is made, and thinks that it would be to it's best interests not to be tied up to the south end, as there are two distinct sec tions. with diversity of interests. The division should be made on the Orchid lateral. That would leave what we con- sider the right sized district, one zan- jero could ride each ditch every day, and keep familiar with the entire dis trict. The ditches could be easily kept on account of the nature of the soil, and we think it could be maintained more cheaply than any other district in the valley. No. 5 would then be about equal size, and could be run more satis- factorily than under the present sys- tenn.
 We understand that some of those in upper No. insist that the people in the lower end should pay the assessment about to fall due into their hands, so we think the best time to divide is as soon as possible so the maintenance fees can be paid into the treasury of No. g. Brawley News.
