is coming to Boise about Christmas
and that he will remain here during
the most of the session of the legisla-

legislation and to put the republicans
of the legislature on record in all the
embarrassing ways possible on this
question. He will stand behind the
democratic members of the legislature.
1t is said. and with his experience in
parliamentary tactics, will take ad-

make record. If Representative Hunt
of Bannock county is made speaker,
won't Dubois and the few democratic
members have some fun. though?

go as low as one dollar per crate, net to the grower, he still has a bonanza. E. E. Forester has
 already shipped 1O2 crates of cantaloupes from one-fourth of all acre of land and will no doubt get twenty-five crates more from the same vines. Several have already shipped 200 crates. per acre and the end is nowhere in sight. MT. Lyon also pointed out that 1t takes ten days for the cantaloupes to reach New York from this valley, then two or thlee days more before they are sold and paid for, and another week for the account of the sales to reach him at Brawley, making at least twenty days after ship ments leave the valley before re- turns can possibly be made. Of course the growers understand this, but MT. Lyon wished 1t stated so as to make the matter plain, The 'cantaloupe market is holding up we'll, the latest re- ports showing sales of S5 per crate in New York City. The indications are fine for good prices to prevail throughout the season, so if our El Centro and Holtvil1e growers were not early enough to get the fancy prices, they will come in on the home stretch and get very good prices for their entire crop.

900 people in the house, and with very little crowding will hold 1000 or more. The curtain loft will rise twenty feet above the rest of the building, and every thing about 1t will be modern and up-to-date.
 These buildings would be a credit to any city in Southern California and are an earnest of the great faith MT. Holt and his associates have in the Imperial Valley and the advantages of E1 Centro, that they will invest their money in this manner. But Imperial Valley and Fl Centro will both make good" on any expectation MT. Holt and his friends may have, and will abun- dantly justify all the faith and confidence they or anyone else may have in their future.
 The work of MT. Holt Is par ticularly valuable to this valley just now and has been during the past two years. Through his instrumentality more than S500,000 has been invested in actual development work and in establishing industries in this valley. Many a mans courage would have Jagged had it not been for the splendid optimism of w. F. Holt.
 And when the water is under control and the "boom" strikes this valley, as it will, we will all join in saying "I told you so.

room fol secret societies. This hall Is 40x70 feet in size with 16- foot ceiling, making it not only the largest hall in the valley, but by far the best. Adjoining this hall there is kitchen and pantry for banquet parties; also two ante-room for tue use of secret societies, with lockers, closets and everything neces- sary for using the hall for lodge purposes. This hall now has the root On and the frame work and outside walls are completed ready for the plaster.
 There are also twelve office rooms on this upper floor, each about 12x14 feet. These will be fitted up for office rooms, and as they face the street to the north and eat, they will be very com- fortable.
 This Bank building, when finished, will not only be the the largest but the best building of its kind III the Imperial Val ley. MT. Cooper, who has charge ot its construction, expects to finish 1t during the coming fall.
 Adjoining the Bank building and facing Fifth street, is the Holt Opera House building. This building is 55x8O feet and the same height as the two-story Bank building. Peterson and his bricklayers are working away on its walls now and are about two-thirds up with them. The jOlsts and frame work for the ground floor are already in and a good deal of the framework for the gallery and opera boxes has been put in place. The trestle work and scaffolding for putting up the frame for the roof is also up and the roof frame has been made and is ready to be put in place. While the work of con- struct1on has not yet reached the point, III this building where it's future beauty and splendor can be seen, 1t has reached a point where 1t is evident that 1t will be commodious and we11-ap- pointed opera house.

PROGRESS

TRe progress ot Fl Centro IS the one most prominent fact 1n development of this valley. De- spite the hot weather of summer, the builders are kept busy, Sup erintendent Cooper rustling car penters from everywhere and Contractor Peterson keeping his bricklayers going. The great Bank block and Opera House building are both being crowded along as rapidly as possible. The Bank block is now so far pro- gressed that one can see what a splendid building it will be when it is completed.
 The lower floor which fronts 100 feet on Main street and sixty feet on Fifth, is divided into four room, each 25x60 feet. The corner one will be occupied by the Valley State Bank, and is being fitted up for that purpose. A large vault has been built in the room and Cashier Vincill already keeps some of his books i'll 1t. When completed this room will provide the Valley State Bank with the most elegant quarters of any bank III the Val ley. The next room to the bank will be occupied by drug store just as soon as 1t is completed. The druggist who will occupy it has had many years of experience and is a thoroughly reliable man in every way. There is a splen- did opening for such a business here in El Centro, and nothing but the lack of a suitable room i'll which to open his stock has kept this man from coming here already.
 The other two 25-foot rooms will be fitted up as a department store the same as MT. Rumsey's. These rooms are already rented and the tenant is ready to oc- cupy them just as soon as they are completed. So the ground floor will be occupied by business houses just as soon as occupancy Is possible. The building will be finished with elegant glass fronts, cement sidewalks and sidewalk awnings along it's length.
 Around on Fifth street there will be a stairway leading to the upper story. From the stair way landing a hallway goes through the building giving in- gress and egress to it's rooms, and affording light and venti1a- tion. The upper floor will con- tain one 1arOe hall and 1odo ora

MI. Lyon Has TUT nlSaeu us with some very interesting 1n- formation concerning the canta- loupe shipments from this valley which emphasizes anew the inn portance of having la1g ge associa- tionS and pla 1ting early. He tells us that the Brawley people had shipped twenty-two carloads of cantaloupes before either El Centro or Holtville shipped car. Of course, there were a few can- taloupes from El CeLtro and Ho1tvi1le iu some of these twen- ty-two carloads, and consequent ly some of our growers partici- pated III the fancy prices that prevailed at the opening of the market. But while the first car load of Cantaloupes shipped from Brawley brought S264O, the first carload from El Centro, which did not reach the market till two weeks afterwards, only brought $1O91. When El Centro and Holtville had shipped their fourth car of CantalOupeS Braw- ley had shipped her thirty-eighth car. 1t will thus be seen that the extremely fancy prices were practically all for Brawley melons. While the pric s brought by the El Centro and Holtville are certainly reuumera- tive and place cantaloupe grow ing on a safe and profitable basis, the experience of the present year will spur our growers to greater endeavOr, and next year they will not only increase their acreage so as to have a larger territory from which to gather early melons, but they will plant early and adopt the most success ful methods for caring for the young vines and maturing the crop as early as possible. So next year El Centro and Holt vile expect to be in the market as early as any of them. MT.
 Lyon also states that the net re- turns from the carload of canta- loupeS that sold for S1091 was about $550, the rest being con- stunned Ill freight, refrigeration and commission. As this charge is about the same on each car re- gardless of the price 1t brings, the importance of getting into the market Ill time for the fancy prices Is all the more emphased. But as long as $50 crates of can taloupes bring $55O net to the growers there need be no com plaint. Even should the price

The killing this morning was cold
blooded deliberate murder without a
single extenuating circumstance or
excuse, but for all that it would not
have happened had not the murderer
been allowed to carry deadly
weapon. Now that the matter has
been brought into public notice by
this murder there will probably be a
general roundup of the camps and
scorfscation of all firearms. There
ought to be one surely. It is a pretty
tough gang that the railroad brings
into the county and they could make
trouble enough if the fit happened to
strike them, without being armed.

Or course there is some kickit
over the heavy demands of the scho

but no more than there is over every
public Improvement that costs any
money. The great majority of the tax
payers, however, are willing to put
up for the public schools as long as
they believe the money is wisely ard
economically expended. It may be + s
marked too that most of the kicking

The cement walks and fences about
the city are still defaced with the un-
slightly red and yellow painted adver-
tisements of the candidates for Office
at the last city election. We hope
that there will be no more of that kind
of work in the coming campaign, and
the voters ought to sit down hard on
any candidate who goes out and de-
faces public and private property in
this manner or permits his fool friends
to do it for him. Anything Of this
kind in the next campaign ought to
have directly opposite effect to that
intended. This damaging of property
by candidate or in his name shows
that he and his friends have little re-
gard for the appearance Of the city or
the rights Of others, and the voters
should scratch him at the polls.
