 The water tanks for the city water supply and to supply the ice plant were raised to their places on last Thursday afternoon. There are two tanks of 5000 gallons capacity, now installed and these will be supplemented by other and larger ones in short time.
 V. F. Kucera was in town Thursday on his return from Holtville where he had been setting up farm machinery.

 The brick building for Mir. Heath's blacksmith and machine shops has been gotten almost ready for occupancy this week. The roof is on and the win dows and doors are ready to be put in.

We'll the outcome of it all is another or der for thousand of the little booklets. The real estate men all say they are the very best thing that has ever been got ten out in an advertising way for the Imperial Valley, as the questions asked and answered are the very ones needed, and the answers are terse, pointed and plain and the whole subject is treated in little space.
