A Letter From One Who Purchased the
Views.
Van Dyne, Wis, Feb. I, 1907.
The National Tribune, Washington d. G.
Ny Dear National Tribune: received
by this mornings mail the full eight sets
of stereoscopic views. am Just delight
ed with them. They are far better than
I expected for the small price you ask.
This makes me $500 of stereoscop,o
views. and a great many are an nne
views as money can buy. So you see Z
may be classed as crank" in that line.
Many thanks for the views. I would
gladly pay the whole price asked for
just the Panama and Frisco alone. Wish.
ing you all the health and prosperity
possible, remain, as ever,
Yours In E., C. & L..
Theodore HERRING.

The gossip in regard to the Anacon- da dividend is that the rate will be cut from a z per cent. to a 4 per cent. basis. If this policy is carried out the stock will still yield 10 per cent. at current figures. Amalgamated cut to 5 per cent. would also return 10 per cent. now. This is not too high for copper shares in lean trade period. Parrot stock, which not long since sold at 8S, has got down to IS per share.

SAFE INVESTMENTS

It is probable-if the men of large affairs in the county know what they are talking about, it is certain-finances will return to the normal basis very soon, and money now hoarded by the timid and withheld from active use by banks, will be restored to circulation. But it is not at all probable that the pace at which the business world was going a few months ago will be re- sumed for some time to come. Speculation and the inauguration of new enterprises on a large scale have been checked; the headlong rush has spent itself; the borrowing of money to in- vest in alIuring schemes is end ed.
 Speculation in real estate stop ped when the first tightening of the money market was felt. Prices of city property, which derives it's value from trade de- mands and relative location what economists term "unearn- ed increment" "-have stopped soaring and may be expected to decline rather than augment for some time to come. Not that any real value has been destroy ed, but expectation of further

TOWN INCORPORATION

1t is time for the residents of Fl Centro to give consideration to the question of incorporating the county seat and providing ways and means of making necessary municipal improvements.
 The town is growing rapidly and is already in need of i'm provements which can be secured only through organization. Vol untary contributions by a few citizens have provided for street sprinkling and other conveniences on small scale, but the village period has been passed and sys- tematic public work is required to keep the streets in proper con- dition and make the town attrac- tive as place of residence and of business.
 Every street in El Centro should be lined with shade trees, but to have trees we must have water along both sides of the street, and to get the best re- suits the planting and care of trees must be controlled by an organized body. By judicious selection of varieties, systematic planting and responsible atten- tion to the care of trees, a town in this county may be converted into a verdant oasis in three years and a beautiful residence park in five. The town in Imperial Val ley which first recognizes the value of shade trees and takes full advantage of the opportunity afforded by soil and climate will make itself the most attractive and draw large dividends on ev- cry dollar expended.
 The first step toward incorpor- ation is the taking of a census to determine the area which it is advisable to include in the town limits, and it would be well for a committee of citizens to arrange for that and start the movement as early as possible.

Made Children Happy

More than a hundred EI Centro school children were made happy Friday afternoon by Albert Durham, who gave them a reception at his public utilities store in the hotel esplanade. Ice cream, cake and other good things were served to the child ren free of charge and they all appreciated fully the bounty of an Fl Centro Santa Claus.

 fore+there IS no 'inducement to speculatorsvto operate in real estate, nos prospect of quick profits.
 Large amounts of money will be available soon for investment, and owners will be looking for something safe and reasonably profitable, Land that produces actual wealth directly meets the requirements of investors who are not gamblers or boom spec ulators. The value of agricultu- ral land'can be determined from the value of it's products, from the dividends which it pays. There can be no safer, surer in- vestment than good farm land well located with reference to markets, and judicious investors will soon be looking for land of that character which can be bought at attractive prices. They can find it in Imperial Valley.
 The financial disturbance was felt in the farming districts less than elsewhere, and in so far as the effect upon values is concer- ned, it was not felt in Imperial Valley at all. Neither the price of land nor the price of the farmers product was affected in the slightest degree by the stam- pede of Wall Street and the eX- plosion of hot air trust com panies. The sun shone and water ran in the ditches just the same, and while the jugglers of millions were walking the floor and bowling for help from Uucle Sam, from England, from any one and everywhere, breaking because they could not raise a dollar and failing to pay their current expenses, the farmer of Imperial Valley was preparing his land for the next crop and wondering what all the row was about.
 The farmer neither issued nor traded with script. All the the money needed to transact business and pay wages was in circulation here throughout the bankers "panic. .' Nobody was thrown out of employment, mo- body worried about losing his job or his meals. During the past six weeks or more the farm ing country, especially this par ticular region, has been the safest, most comfortable, least worri- some place to live in and to do business in.
 With the first sign of loosing 1 of the money situation, buyers of land reappeared in Imperial and more of them are coming as fast as they can get their money out of the banks. | They are buying land because the price of land here is below what may be termed par value. | Measured by wealth producing power, Imperial Valley land is selling at very low figures. It is the plain, simple truth that net returns from one crop this year have exceeded the market | price of the best land, and in more than one instance the farmer has made more in one I.s

The Board of Supervisors se-
 lection.of a County Live Stock
 Inspector proves to have been not only ill-considered but futile from every point ofsview.
 Fl Centro is a singularly moral, decorous town, and no
 bad language ever is heard on the streets. For the sake of maintaining the tranquility of the public mind and propriety of casual conversation, the man who sprinkles the streets should manage to miss the crossings with his squirt wagon.
 Nevada farmers have adopted resolutions asking Congress to establish the postal savings bank system. The United States is the only civilized nation on earth without postal savings banks, but there is a possibility that re- cent occurrences have so weak ened the pull of national banks that Congress may be forced by the people to heed their demand and get into line.
 The brewers, who really own most of the saloons in all large cities, are so alarmed by the wave of aridity rolling over the country that they have decided in secret conference to abolish their dives and low groggeries and make a big bluff at advocat- ing conservative temperance reform" When the devil was sick, the devil monk would be; when the devil got well, the devil a monk was he.
 During the worst ten days of the financial imbroglio, while people elsewhere were hiding money in safe deposit boxes and stockings and bringing about the very thing they feared, the farm CTS of Imperial Valley calmly de- posted $50,000 in their local banks. If the people of other communities had half as much courageous good sense as the I'm perial Valley lords of the soil, there would have been no dis turbance of business conditions.
 Here is sporting proposition that should appeal to everyone interested in athletics. J. c. Archer, an Indian of Collinsville, 1. T., who claims to be the fast est runner in the world, offers to bet $250 that he can run down and catch with his hands an able-bodied jackrabbit inside of forty minutes. He stipulates that the race be on regulation coursing ground, an enclosure 700 by 400 feet. Archer must be the original sheepherder who rounded up and corraled a bunch of jackrabbits under the impress sion that they were lambs.
