SHARP COTTON ADVANCE
AFTER WEAK OPENING

NEW YORK. oct. 4.-In view Of the
cables from Liverpool and the fact that
frosts appeared in the Western belt, the
opening Of the local cotton market was
disappointing The failure of the mar
ilet TO reflect these conditions was due
IN part at least TO profit-taking and a
belief that higher temperatures would
speedily follow In the Western belt.
Better support developed after the
start on orders from the South. Some
OF the local traders also started in TO
cover cotton put out at the opening and
prices advanced sharply.

The Washington times., 1906-10-24

Men and women of small and
medium income, whose bank
account represents so much of
economy and hard work, ought
to consider more carefully even
than the rich the strength and
security of his bark.
A high rate of interest is well
if it can be had safely, but safe
ty OF the principal is vital.
In selecting a bank remember
that the capital and surplus is a
fund that stands betWeEn the
depoSitor and possible loss.
And the double liability of
stockholders is a further pnptec-
ton, if the bank is chartered
under laws making stockholders
liable for twice the amount of
their stock, and if the stock
holders are persons Of financial
strength and responsibility.
Consider further the list OF
officers and directors of yotu
bank. Are they men Of estal)-
lished standing and reputation?

F. Holt was chosen President and General Manager and C. A. Barker Secretary. The company at once en- tered upon the work for which it was organized and began operations in this Valley. They secured tract of land on the Alamo river where the town of Holtvlle now stands and laid out their plans for establishing their great power plant at that poin: Here is found place where plant can be installed and water pressure of 8 feet secured. The first work of the company was that of building their power canal for carry
 ing an adequate water supply for the operation of the electrical generating ma chinery they should install. This canal begins at the main canal of Im- perlal Water company No. 5 and ex- tends to the top of the high bank above the power plant. It is nearly three miles long. l5O feet wide for most of its length and has banks Is feet hi h. It is capable of carrying 5000 miners inches of water which when. used in generating electricity will produce a

minimum of two thousand horse pow CT. This power canal is beautiful sheet of water and will no doubt soon become famous as pleasure resort. It is the intention oi the company to plant trees along its course and make
 a park ar it's western end. With a lit tie effort and time most beautiful place can be made, for here, are found everything that is needed for the pur- pose. The construction of the power canal took nearly six months time and cost about S6O,OOO. Meantime the town of Holtville was laid out and a thriving town established. This brought up the question of transportation and led to the building Of the Holton-lnter- Urban railway by the Holton Power company This railroad enterprise however, we vii! speak of later. The railroad was completed and in opera ton September, 1904. The work of building the power plant was carried forward as rapidly as possible under the circumstances. it being necessary to place orders for machinery year or
