been made for another engine and an additional freezing room can be provided for quite easily.
 This addition to the Ice plant places 1t in the rank of the largest manufac- turing plant in Southern California; In fact. there isrno other which exceeds the capacity of 100 tons day.
 Naturally the officers of the Holton Power company feel quite satisfied with their business venture here and they are to be commended on the fact that they are ever ready to expand in order to meet whatever demand there may be In the use of Ice or electricity throughout the Imperial valley.

At meeting of the board of direct DTS of the Central Creamery company, last Monday afternoon, the subject of telephones was taken up and discussed to some extent. It was suggested that the many stockholders of this company, who are all practically farm CTS and either users or would be users of telephones, should petition the board of directors of Imperial Water com pany No. | to take the matter in hand and build within Its district complete telephone system and make provision for connection with any other existing independent system and with those also which may be built In the future.
 Water company No. 7 already has a system and 1t Is said to be working admirably. but of course they are not allowed to connect with the old com pany known as the Imperial Telephone company" but even at that their loss is not so great.
 No. 5. We understand, has had this same matter up for consideration for some time. Should Mo- start to build system there IS little doubt but what No. 5, No. 4 and No. 8 would see the advantage of system of its own where connections could be made to any part of the valley quickly and without hindrance. In this way each company would have its own central office and connections could be had without disturbing SO many phones each time the wire was used.
 The stockholders of No. are of the firm belief the present board of d. rectors co3ld build a system and at very little cost to the outstanding stock and the expense ot maintaining. flgur- ing on the basis of what can be learned from the No 7 system, Is not very large. A system rightly constructed should not cost excessively to run.

BETTER SYSTEM WANTED
Teluphone System Throughout the Valley
 Really Should be Improved

At a meeting of prominent farmers held lately 1t was agreed that company could be formed throughout the valley with sufficient capital to put in thor oughly adequate system and everyone of them present was willihs'to take a block of stock In case the water con- pany would not take hold of It. This would be paying proposition.
 It would seem from the expressions heard at times throughout the valley that there Is great deal of dissatis- faction at the poor service received from our present telephone system. In days past when everything in the valley was new and hastily constructed the inadequacy of the system could be overlooked and condoned, but now the time Is at hand when the Imperial val ley should have the very best telephone system going. but instead, every day sees more phones attached to the same old line and the subscriber Is taught to listen patiently to central's cheerful voice, number, please; line busy" How could 1t help but be busy when telephonlng to another part oi the valley you have to be connected with Hne with, perhaps. no less than thirty 'phones attached. One of them, we believe, has thirty seven.
 However we get better service, let us have 1t. Not because the Press has been hampered and bothered until the patience of Job would be exhausted does 1t advocate this, but becouse 1t Is not right that the valley should be made to condone any proposition which gets lots and gives little. It Is not by any neglect or inciviity of the employees of the present company that things are in the shape they are. No doubt they do the very best they can with the means provided them, which at best are very poor.

No Power, No lights

The power and lights have been off again this week on account of the short age of water on the Eaststde. the farm CTS just at present requiring all the water the ditch could carry.
 This Is of only temporary duration. as the demand Will soon diminish and there will then be water for the power canal.

RELIC OF THE MAYFLowER.

Dishes From Historic Ship Cherished
..as Heirlooms by Denver Woman.
Probably few are aware of the fact
but a direct descendant of signer Of
the declaration of independence and
a man who crossed to the new world
in the Mayflower is living in Denver.
She is Lula Electa Bartlett, great
granddaughter Of Josiah Bartlett
who signed the declaration Of inde.
pendence. Her great great great
grandfather was one of the men who
faced privation and hunger to cross
the water in the Mayflower.
Elisha Bartlett remained on the soil
late rcalled Massachusetts. 1t is from
him that Miss Lula Electa is descend
ed.
Although the Bartletts who came
before her ranked with the elite Of
society and arstocracy, she is happy
and content to earn her living work
ing as seamstress.
Miss Bartlett spends her evenings
with many other lonely young women
in the Young Women's Friendly club
2243 California street, and she lives
in the simplest manner.
The home of the Bartlett family has
been broken up. The mother died
when they lived in Hastings, Neb.,
and the family scattered. The only
son is in Kansas City. one daughter
is in Los Angeles with her father and
the fourth and last member OF the
family Is toiling daily in Denver.
One of the most precious wedding
presents received by Miss Bartlett's
father and mother when they were
married in 1856 was portion Of a
set of dishes brought to America by
the Bartlett brothers in the Mayfow
er. These are the last dishes that
are known to exist which came over
in the old ship in 1920
Miss Lula Bartlett of Denver Is now
the happy possessor of these valuable
and historic pieces of chinaware.

with a typical representative OF that

Gated in France, had travelled much in
Europe and had resided for many
years in the States. He was thor
oughly posted on Cuban agriculture
and was keenly alive to any sugges-
tions as to means by which existing
conditions could be improved.
He talked entertainingly and in
structively of the country through
which we were passing, pointing out
with unerring judgment the best cane
lands, others that were suitable for
tobacco and still others that were
useful only for pasturage. Finally. the
character Of the country began to
