The people wonder where the great ar

broadcast upon our streets and alleys.

give the boy as much care as you do

Denatured Alcohol

The new law in relation to alcohol
for use as fuel and such other uses as
gasoline is put to will take effect the
first of January. The people of Wash
ington stand a good show OF receiving
some benefits from the new law in the
course of few months.
A factory, or more properly speaking,
a distillery, for the making of alcohol
for non-potative uses is to be started
near Spokane, and now comes the in
formation that a company will engage
on a large scale in the manufacture of
denatured alcohol near Portland, Ore
gon. This will without doubt prove a
double benefit to the masses of the
people. If fuel alcohol is sold at the
same price as gasoline, 40 cents per
gallon, or even 80 cents, it will still be
cheaper and much more safe to use.
One gallon of alcohol will develop
about twice as much heat as the same
quantity of gasoline.
The Walla Walla Argus gives the
following account of the Portland plant:
1.-THE first denaturized alcohol plant
on the Pacific coast is to be erected just
outside of Portland shortly after the
first of the year when the law passed
by the last session of congress remov-
ing the duty on alcohol goes into effect.
The plant is to be erected on the 400
acre ranch owned by DR.. G. w. Corne-
Illus, on the peninsula between the Co.
lumbia river and Columbia slough. DR..
Cornelius has just disposed of the en-
tire ranch to the concern, which is to
be known as the Pacific Alec Fuel Co.,
which has been incorporated under the
laws of Oregon with a capital stock of
$4,000 most OF which is said to be
Eastern capital The estimated cost of
the plant is $4,000.
OF the 400 acres, it is proposed to
plant 800 acres in potatoes, which are
valuable in the manufacture of the de-
natured product. AS side issue, sew
eral acres will be devoted to sugar
beets, which will yield heavily in the
rich bottom lands.
Assurance has been given by farmers
along the river that they will supply
the concern with raw material, such as
potatoes, sugar beets and fruits, in
quantities sufficient for all needs OF the
industry. The capacity of the original
plant is estimated at 100 barrels of fuel
alcohol day, at cost of IL cents a
gallon. 1t is believed by the promoters
that the whole output of the plant may
be disposed of in Portland AS fuel it
is clean, odorless, and much safer than
gasoline or kerosene"

The lemon post card Is the latest.
Hundreds OF thousands OF the cards
bearing the picture of a wrinkled old
lemon have been sold already. The
picture post card craze is now at its
worst. The summers crop is in. From
every quarter of the civilized globe
they have been flying all summer in
millions. The business has grown to
staggering proportions. New York is
the seat of the trade, and dealers esti-
mate that one person in every eight
buys picture postal every day. There
are $4,000 stores in the United States
handling them at present where three
yeers ago there We're not hundred. 1t
has frequently been remarked during
recent years that the art and practice
of letter writing have passed away, and
the picture postal has helped on this
tendency. People write less than they
ever did and yet they keep their friends
at home posted as to their itinerary
during long trip better than they ev-
err did before. The picture postal tells
the story. That is why it is so popular

singularly out of keeping with the bank Itself for the bank has a larger capital than all the banks in the Valley com bined, and 1t Is all paid up in full.
 It also has cash surplus of S2o,OOo
 Their elegant new brick bank building Is In process of construction at the present time on the corner of Main and Fifth streets, Fl Centro. The walls are up and the floor ioists in. The carpenters are working on the floor and upper jolsts. It is hoped to have the building completed and the bank properly housed by the middle of June. This bank has paid up capital of $loo,ooo. which Is the largest cap- ltal of any bank in the county outside of San Diego. Mir. w. F. Holt Is president and Mir. True Venclll is cash Ter. Although only in business about 90 days it has $26, 1000 on deposit and its deposits and the volume of its busi- ness is increasing very fast. So much for the banks of the Valley and their splendid condition. It must be borne in mind, too, that the money in these banks wasn't brought here by capital ists and tourists and deposited for their convenience. 1t was every dollar pro- duced right here in this Valley and represents the surplus of our farmers after paying their water stock mort gages and the debts they owed for dairy COWS, hogs. farm machinery and the dozens of things poor man has to buy on time to fit up an irrigated ranch. The banks have practically had no out side customers during the past two years and yet the bank deposits have more than doubled in amount during the past year. These are most elo- quent figures when considered in rela- ton to their bearing on financial con- ditlons in this Valley. It means that every bank in it is as solid as Uncle Sam, their business increasing, depos- its doubling and affairs prosperous in every way. The banks have all adopt ed the plan of the First Ma .ional of Imperial in carrying 40 per cent. of their deposits in cash reserve fund
Imperial Valley press and the Imperial press., 1906-05-05

and exercising extreme care and abso- lute safety in making loans. The law only requires banks to carry IS per cent. of their deposits in a cash reserve and 25 or 30 per cent. Is regarded as extraordinary precautions in banking circles everywhere. The action of our Valley banks in carrying a 40 per cent. reserve was new departure in bank Ing and with the conservative rules followed in making loans makes our banks absolutely safe.
 In the further development of this Valley it Is inevitable that the Valley State Bank will take very important part. With its paid up capital of $loo,- 900 and Its cash surplus of $2o.ooo 1t overshadows all the rest of the banks in the Valley in available cash re- sources. The principal stockholders of this bank are w. F. Holt, A. c. Hubbard. of Redlands; D. w. Wicker sham, of Stafford, Arizona, and R. H. Ingram, of the Southern Pacific Go. It is organized under the laws of the State of California which, as everyone knows, are as strict as the laws of any state in the Union concerning banking matters. The men who organized this bank are also interested with Mir. Holt in the other enterprises he Is installing in this Valley. Mir. Hubbard and Mir. Wickersham are each rated as million aires several times over and both are large stockholders in the Holton Power company, Holton Inter- Urban railway and the Imperial Valley Bank and First State Bank Through the Holton Power Go. practically all the outside capital that has been put into Imperial Valley enterprises during the past two years has been invested These cap italists are shrewd. far seeing men. They are putting in their money in the most substantial kind of improvements and the future will abundantly prove their wisdom. They are also estab- fishing their enterprises at the most ad- vantageous points in the Valley.
 The Holton Power company's plant will provide power and lights for all the
Imperial Valley press and the Imperial press., 1906-05-05

The condition of the banks in any
 community is an almost invariable test
 of the prosperity or diversity of that
 community. If the business of the
 country is tagging the banks will show
 it. and If the farmers of an agricultur-
 al community are not prospe 'ous, the
 condition of the banks in that commun-
 ity will reflect that fact. These are self-evldent truisms, and conversely, if
 the business of country Is good and brisk and the farmers are prosperous,
 the banks will show it forth in abundant
 deposits and increasing business. We know of no falrer way 10 judge of the general prosperity of any community than by reference to the condition. of the banking institutions of that com
 munity. And judged by this criterion, the Imperial Valley takes pre-eminence at the head of Southern California communities. A brief statement of the history of the banks In this Valley will be to the point The first bank established was the First National Bank at Imperial, which was organized in the winter of 1901 with capital of -$25,OOO. This pioneer institution has always been in careful and competent hands, and has been powerful instru- ment In the upbuilding of this Valley. Through it's help and that of its presi- dent Leroy Holt, the dairy business has been established much more rap idly than 1t would otherwise have been, and both the bank and its president have helped many of our farmers to realize profit from their crops of feed by furnishing them with range cattle These operations have been alike prof itable to the pioneer farmer and the pioneer bank, and have built up both alike into very prosperous condition The first National now has more than $l2o GOO on deposit. which is about one-half the total deposits of all the banks in the Valley. It must not be Surmlsed that this happy condition has come about except as the result of the most careful and conservative meth ods. During the past two years, as everyone knows, this Valley has had It's troubles. There was the water shortage and the agitation for relief, which 1t precipitated. Then the re- survey tangle came on and the final proofs were held up and no titles grant ed to the land. This condition finally in the withdrawal of all he lands in" the Valley from entry or final proof, While this was going on conditions regarding the water became reversed, and the water came in ever increasing floods threatening to inun- ? ate and destroy the Valley, gathering n Salton sea, and furnishing 90 days yonder to the sensational newspapers
 While none of the evils feared have
 ome to pass, nevertheless, while they lere appare,t. they had very bad ef- bet on the outside capitalist with mon
 y to invest He naturally kept away
 om our Valley and consequently
 pne of our Valley banks handled any
 lslness from that source. Through
 those unsettled conditions the First
 ational kept Its cash reserve up to
