INFORMAL MEETING
Of Cantaloupe Growers Will be Held
 at BrawIey, Saturday, Aug. p

A meeting of the Cantaloupe Crow CTS Associations directors was held here Thursday afternoon. There were present from neighboring associations, MT. Will Stahl, secretary of the Braw- ley association, and Messrs. Grain and Smith representing the Holtvllle association. The matter shipping and marketing melons next year was discussed, and returns for this year were compared.
 It was decided to call an informal meeting for Saturday. August 25, to be held at Brawley. Invitations have been sent to the Cantaloupe Growers Associations of Coachella, Thermal and Mesa to join with the associations of Brawley, Holtvllle and Fl Centro, to tolk over and discuss the question of consolidation. At this informal meeting a date will be set at which time duly appointed representatives of these several associations may meet and perfect a permanent organization.
 The idea of the new organization and consolidation Is mutual protection and an equitable distribution of the melons grown in each community. The separate associations as they now stand will in no wise lose their identity.
 A consolidation of the growers of these places will no doubt result to ad- vantage to all sections where Canta- loupes are grown. The returns for this season will average fairly we'll and the growers will make considerable money out of their crops. The in dustry is bound to be an important fac tor in the upbuilding of the valley and conservative steps should be taken to protect it and to insure the best possl- ble returns to the growers.

|ICEPL PLANTBURNED
Fire De$hoyes the Ice Manufacturing and Cold Storage Plant of the
 Holton Power Co.

The Ice and cold storage plant of the Holton Power company at Fl Gen. tro was burned to the ground on last "Wednesday night, August 18th. Just how the fire originated will probably never be known, for the plant was not in operation at the time and the only occupants of the Obuilding was two young men named Dawson and Walsh who were sleeping in the empty ice storage room. There was a quite heavy thunder storm visited the Valley that night, the sky being lit up quite frequently by lightning. but 1t is not be- lieved that the building was struck by lightning or fired by any such, method. Several people in the town were up watching the storm and they are all positive there was no bolt of lightning struck within several miles of this place. So far as known Mr. and Mrs. w. H. Webber were the first persons to dis cover the fire. It was then nearly eleven o'clock at night and as quite a shower of rain had fallen the ground was sticky and travelling afoot was somewhat impeded. But MT. Webber gave the alarm as quickly as possible and hurried to the ice plant. By the time he arrived the fire had made such headway that it was impossible to re- move anything from the burning build
 ing. The two men sleeping in the building were aroused and were very much surprised to learn the building was more than half consumed. They know nothing of any thunder bolts and are very positive the fire was not start ed by lightning. About all that could be done was to watch the building and its contents burn. The men who had clothing and personal effects in it were powerless to save them. o. R. Miller lost his bedding. clothing and books. M. A. Stover lost his clothing, libra ry of scientific books and all his mu-
Imperial Valley press and the Imperial press., 1906-08-18

sical instruments. Several of the oth- CT employees lost various articles in the fire. The building burned with great fury for more than 24 hours and even as late as Friday night, 48 hours after it took fire, the ruins were blaz- ing in many places. The building has collapsed entirely, the walls falling in and the machinery being burned, black ened and twisted almost beyond recog- milton. The burned structure was very much the largest building in the Imper- ial Valley and also the most important. Located at the most advantageous business point in the Valley and with the best of shipping facilities the Ice plant was the choicest property in this Val ley and the most valuable possession of the Holton Power company. Its loss is not only heavy loss to them but also very serious loss to the Val ley as whole. No other enterprise in the Valley was more indicative of the pluck of the pioneers than that magnificent ice plant. Nothing else in the Valley was more typical of the conquest of the desert nor contributed more to the comfort of our people. It was the most prominent industrial plant and the most talked about enter prise in the Valley. The plant was new throughout, having been operated only since June lst. It was shut down from August lst to August 10th on &C., count of repairing the Hume at Holt vile and when started up on the 10th had only run until about i o'clock D. m., August 14th, when it was closed down for want of power. About 24 hours afterward it burned. The build ing and machinery cost about $75 ,OOO and were insured for $25,OOO.
 Plans are already under way for re- building it on a much larger scale and work will begin just as soon as the bricks are cool enc ugh to be removed.
