40 per cent of its deposits, and operat-
 ed in such careful and conservative
 way that no disaster that could have
 happened would have threatened a de-
 positor with the loss of single dollar.
 The other banks now operating in
 this Valley are: The Imperial Valley
 Bank of Brawley, the First State Bank
 of Calexico, and the Valley State
 Bank of Fl Centro. The first named
 bank was organized by Frank s. MIL
 Ter at BraWley during the time he held sway in that town. After his depart
 ure it passed into the hands of Mir. F.
 C. Pautn until it was purchased and
 re-organized by MT. w. F. Holt in Oc-
 tober, 1905. It has capital stock of
 $25 900, about $20,oO0 of which is paid up. The deposits at the present time are about $35,OoO. The bank is just beginning the erection of an ele- gant two-story brick block at a cost of
 more than $l0,OOO, which will be a
 credit to Brawley, and a suitable be- ginning of that era of substantial con- structon which is dawning or that town. w. F. Holt is president of this bank and Major w. T. Dunn is cash Ter. The bank is in an exceptionally strong condition fir country bank, and its business is increasing rapidly
 The first State Bank of Calexico was organized in May 1905, and subse- quently strengthened by consolidating the International Banking Co.'S busi- ness with 1t. This bank has fully paid up capital of $25,00O, and has about $65,oo In deposits. This is a remarkable showing considering con- dltions that have obtained in the Val ley during the past two years. The deposits are increasing all the time, and the volume of business growing rapidly. w. F. Holt Is president of this bank and J. A. Morrison is cash Ter. A bank Is in process of organiza- ton for Holtville, and will be opened and ready for business about July lst. The capital stock, S25, 900, Is already subscribed and fully paid up, the room for its occupancy is already being fitted up in the Alamo Hotel building, the furniture and fixtures, safe, books, stationery and everything needed has already arrived on the ground and can be gotten in place al very short notice. The name of the Holtvllle bank has not yet been deter mined upon but that Is about all that yet remains tobe done. HoltvlIe and the people of Number Five and Number Seven will not be without banking ia- cllltles but a very short time, and when they are supplied they will be of the very best for the Holtvllle bank is being organized by Mir. w, F, Holt and the wealthy men interested with nlm in his many Imperial Valley en- ierprlzes. The Valley State Bank of Fl Centro, was organized in January of
 he present year and opened its doors n temporary quarters In the frame building that used to stand on the cor Ter or Sixth St. and Imperial Ave. in imperial, and was occupied by pr. ?. s. Anderson for a time as a drug tore The little wooden building is

Valley towns The ice manufacturing plant will furnish Ice for the entire Val ley and the Valley State Bank with the growth and development of Fl Cen tro will soon take Its place as the lead ing financial institution in the Valley.
 The plans of these capitalists are well laid and are being carried to sue cess without hitch. The fulflllment of these plans will make Fl Centro the principal town In this Valley. The building of the town was not begun till the plans of Mr. Holt and his assocl- ates had reached such a stage that de- feat was impossible. The present rap- idty with which Fl Centro is building Is only In response to an urgent demand, which even with the efforts put forth cannot be supplied If the town was building twice as fast every building in 1t would be called for before 1t was completed lt will thus be seen that the banks of this Valley are in excep- tonslly good condition and that the capitalists who own the Imperial Val ley Bank, the First State Bank of Ca lexlco and the Valley State Bank of Fl Centro are showing their faith in this Valley by investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in building up Its industries on most permanent and substantial basis. Also that their en- terprises make it inevitable that Fl Centro will be the metropolis of this Valley and the county seat of the forth coming new county.
 The Imperial Standard has been sold to E. F. Howe, who will take charge >on June 1st. MT. Howe expects to publish the Standard daily as soon as prepara- tions can be made for doing so. MT. Howe is quite we'll known to the people of the Valley as the former editor of the Imperial PRESS and later by his con- nection with the Los Angeles Examiner.
 Arrangements have been made to have a ball in the Hotel Fl Centro next Thursday. They advertise good music and the "best floor you ever saw" A good crowd is expected, as all lovers of dancing in the neighboring towns are invited.
