Table of
State Appropriations
FIGURES SHOWING HOW STATE MONEY WILL BE SPENT
---MANY APPROPRIATIONS NOT INCLUDED IN THE
FOLLOWING TABLE

The general appropriation
bill is now available for the con-
sideration Of the people and the
Tribune presents it in a form
that all can understand and ap-
prOciate. There are few people
who know whether the cost of
operating the government is half
a million or million and a half
a year and so it conveys no speci-
al significance to say that the
appropriation may reach the lat
ter figure, but the table the Trib-
une has prepared will enable any
one to see what this means by
comparisons with the appropria-
tions for the same purposes by
the preceding legislature. All
the appropriations are not yet
known, including bond issues,
roads and bridges, new boards
and commissions and the usual
special and relief bills. To the
following table should also be
added revenues from investments
for state Institutions amounting
to $54, 730 for the university.
SIS, $50 for the Lewiston Normal,
SIS, $50 for the Albion Normal
and $4,000 for the Pocatello Ac-
ademy. Also excluded from the
table are the Steunenberg case
deficiencies and new appropria-
tions and all other new or ex-
ceptional appropriations. The
cost of running the ordinary de-
ments of the government com
pared with the cost two years
ago is, simply stated, as follows:

AS will be seen, these startling
increases represent serious in
roads on the substance of the
people. They amount to an IN
crease of about one-third in the
cost of ordinary government in
the short space of two years.
No other line Of business has In
creased in. any such proportion
at all to warrant such outlaws
for the use and benefit of public
officials The Tribune feels sure
that the foregoing figures will
not be relished by the average
taxpayer and it presents them
this early in order that the peo-
pie may study them and get such
comfort out of them as they
can.-Lewiston Tribune.

CANTALOUPE
 '''' SHIPMENTS
Crop Coming on Handsomely and Cars
 Moving Daily

The writer had pleasant day one day this week out in the cantaloupe fields. It was of course, absolutely impossible to see even half the fields in one day. but few of the represent alive ones were inspected and now and then cantaloupe disposed of. All of the vines are looking fine. Some fields are being given more care than others and in these we find the best prospects for big yield.
 The warm weather of the past week has set the pickers and packers In mo. ton. Already on an average of eight cars day are, being shipped from he'e. Some of the fields are rather .ate and when these come into bearing the output will be more than doubled. Good prices seem 10 pervail and the prospects are that the late melons will sell at good figure,

4 Free WritinO Room

The ladies of the Fl Cenro library board, always In advance with every progressive idea, have arranged to es- tablsh free writing room for the use of the public, without any dlscnmina- ton. The Idea at first was to main tain 1t by itself, as the room that has been given to the uses of the board was too small to admit of further ac- commodation. The lease however, upon the quarters which they have cuped has just expired and by a ami able arrangements with R. E. Burkett, the free reading room and library will be removed into the "Old Reliable ' headquarters. with the free writing room next door.
 The idea of a free writing room as such Is more progressive than most of the cities this side of the big muddy have utilized. Farther east such in- stitutlons have in a great number of instances been found not only to be a public advantage, but also self sustain ing. On this latter thought we will have more to say later.
 The ladies of our library board are to be commended very highly for starting a movement in which Fl Gen. tro Is in the van.

Property in and Around Fl Centro IS Selling Fast Record Breaking Sales Being Recorded by the Real Estate Men of this Place. Outside Capital Being Invested in the
 Coming Town

County division Is practically an as. sured thing and the question of settling the county seat Is working itself out ir 1he minds of the valley people to such an extent that those who have money to invest and naturally wish to invest it tn and about the town that stands the pest chance of securing the county seat are commencing to buy property.
 All last week and to a greater ex- tent this week the town of Fl Centro has been full of land and lot buyers. Four different parties from San Diego nave been here and have invested and feel sure they have made no mistake in doing so. Even though the de- mands for town property has teen three times as great as 1t was SUD- posed 1t would be so soon, the Land company has not raised the prices a particle, but 1t Is not to be expected that the original prices of Fl Centro property will remain as low as they are at the present time. while the de- mand IS growing larger and property Is being sold every day. The effect has been more perceptible in the advance of farm lands near the town and great many acres have been changing hands.
 One man who came to the valley some three months ago. located tenn porarily at Imperial and in order to satisfy himself went to every town In the valley to ascertain for himself just now the land lay. His name Is en- rolled as buyer of Fl Centro property and he intends to locate at this town permanently.
 A visit to every real estate firm in the town showed the writer that they are all busy and they all say 1t Is not long job to locate prospective buyer anymore. Those who come to investl- gate do not hesitate to invest in the town that has showed and Is sh"wlng its faith by its works. They like the soldity of the foundation upon which Fl Centro Is building; the high class brick buildings are what attracts the attention of these careful buyers and they want to locate and own property In the town which looks to the com forts and pleasures of Its clrizens In providing such magnificent opera house as Is found here and not else where in the valley They realize that the place which has the courage to build up Itself and has sufficient natural advantages to maintain 1t Is the town that Is found to draw capital, which is so badly needed to furnish the indus irles and back the enterprises which will go further than any other one thing to advance the value of all the property in the Imperial Valley, Is the town most likely to be helped by the average voter and thus 1t will furnish the very best avenue for profitable investment.
