WHY :?

Edgar F. Howe promptly pro- ceeds to ptopagate fit into which he precipitated head and heels, in his issue of last Saturday be- cause what he chooses to call a Redlands syndicate ctarted the town of Fl Centro. Now, the question arises, why is a Red lands syndicate, or any other syndicate, to which the credit of starting a town is given, any worse than the Los Angeles syn dicate which Is behind Imperial, or one which may be behind Brawley or even Calexico, W e would respectfully ask if it IS because the buildings erected at Fl Centro are of a better charaCt- CT than those at Imperial or IS 1t because the spirit of the people, who have made their homes i'll El Centro, has been more progress i've and have been the means of showing a large number of valley residents that they had hereto fore been imposed upon, both in the prices of the goods they were buying at Imperial, and quality thereof. No; perhaps not. May be 1t is because from the time Fl Centro was started 1t has every day gained friends, and has steadily advanced, even in the face of our most troublesome times, while Imperial has not progressed in the least. No doubt the cause of all this worry on the part of Bro. Howe is, that one of the considerations of the liberal support to his daily paper was that he would eff he cOuld) land the county seat at Imperial. Please remem Der he is doing what he can to earn his money. He is just here for d time. His family does not even make their home ln the town. If he does not gain the point he wishes he will fit. as Le has fitted before, because he will have lost his interest, and will no doubt be compelled to go even though he does gain his point, for those who are backing him now will then have lost their interest in him. Whichever way you look upon it, he is only tran sient, and anything he may say or do should be considered as made to order."
 m ms paper ne says that rom the earliest days of the valley Imperial has been looked upon as the future county seat. Certain ly it was by the Imperial Land company of Los Angeles, the syndicate which promoted it, and is to-day looked upon as the "log- ical" place by MT, Paulin and others; but why should these men be allowed to say what shall be done in the valley? What have they done that their wishes should even be respected, and

what has Howe ever dOne-but work for them.

WudN Has AAOWC NNOA hVHN DAN work for them.
 The Standard and the steering committee of Imperial are using every means to induce each neigh borhood iu the proposed new county to put up "favorite son. for some county office with the object in view of trading for votes. The dull thud you hear is the people sitting down on such schemes.
 The winds which have been here the first of this week has demonstrated to a great many farmers the need of more trees. Too much thought has hereto fore been given to other things, but now the matter of tree plant ing should receive more attention. In some places throughout the valley melon vines were injured by the strong wind, which would not have happened had there been a good and sufficient row of trees to the westward within a half mile. Therefore it behooves every land owner to see that trees of some sort are planted at as early a date as possible on each half mile border running north and south at least. Trees add materially to the appearance and value of land anyway and will prove of double value in this instance.

=
 the election, with Fl Centro on the long end.
 After Editor Witter, of the Brawley News, calls Howe, of the Standard, down for claiming every thing in sight for Imperial and never noticing Braw.ey only when Imperial wants something, the Standard immediately jumps forth with bucket of soft soap and proceeds to try and spread it over those whom 1t thinks may do some good. It's rather hard to see wherein Imperial will gain much from Brawley, when Braw- ley knows only too we'll that Inn perial, if given a chance, will knife her to a finish, the same as 1t has tried to do heretofore. I'm perial has practically no farming country of its own to draw from, therefore must, to be d success, reach out for that trade which naturally belongs somewhere else. Brawley is not likely to forget how anxious Imperial was to get into communication with No. 8 by way of bridge across New river and how soon they dropped 1t like a hot potato when No. 8 went dry, because they were afraid the trade would not justify. Let No. 8 again be prosperous and Imperial will be in the field again ana the result is Brawley will suffer. And while we are speaking about the proposed bridge the people of No 8 may thank themselves it was not built. just then, as they would have been compelled to foot the bill, as did those on the eastside. Before this bridge was built Inn perial merchants were terribly loud in telling what it was worth to them, but when it came to re- ally raising the money and pay ing for the bridge, the bulk of the expense fell to the farmers, at first hand, and they have by this time paid the balance in ex- cessive prices on the goods they have bought at Imperial.

Yesterday afternoon the as

concert by the band, after
which Jackson's Virginia Jubi-
lee singers rendered a concert.
This was their first appear
ance on the platform and they
were given plenty of applause.
This company will remain un-
til the end of the assembly and
are we'll worth hearing. Rob-
bert Parker Miles delivered his
le> ture "Tallow Dips which
was a very pleasing feature.
Mr.. Parker is a we'll known

In t. e evening, after the

Domestic Science

The domestic science series
of lectures and demonstrations
that have been given at the
chautauqua, under the direc-
tions OF Miss Ocia May Haz-
zard, were positively one of the
best features on the course.
Many of the ladies were skep-
tical about attending these
lectures, being under the inn
preston that they would be all
theoretical, and nothing prac-
tic; but they were delightfully."-
surprised. "She is not a
teacher of recipes for fancy
menus, neither does she strive
to present new and startling
combination of edibles. Her eff
fort is to present in a plain and
comprehensive manner the
fundamental rules of good
cookery, showing how to make
f ,od palatable, wholesome and
nutritious" Miss Hazard
proved her ability in this city
and the ladies who attended
her classes, insist that she be
secured for another year, and
the management will no doubt
do so. Miss Hazard is a
teacher of cookery in the Lewis
Institute of Chidago, and has
been connected with several
other famous schools.
