Ihlnns are lively

The moving of cantaloupes is h. creaslng daily and the Icing of cars at the Ice plant Is no small matter. The icing crews are working night and day and were It not for the convenient fa- cilItles at the plant It would be lmpos- slble to handle the amount of Ice that Is being used. A switch engine has been placed here by the railroad com pany which Is at the disposal of the cantaloupe associations The warm weather of the past week has brought both associations up standing and they are into the work of loading and ship ping up to the neck. Fl Centrc Is certainly busy town and the merch- ants are feeling an increase in the trade In the middle of the summer instead of a decrease.
 Great preparations are on hand now to take care of the large grape ship ments that will go from here and 1t Is expected to make of this place the largest grape shipping center in the valley
Imperial Valley press and the Imperial press., 1907-06-29
This Explains

Cantalcupe output is expected to be lighter from the Imperial Valley then first anticipated. It is estimated that Imperial will receive from tl50,000 to $200,o0 from this one crop.
 The following was clipped from the California Cultvator and tells a right smart little tale. In the first place 1t shows that the California Cultlvator man who fixed up this little squlb Is not In the least familiar with condl- lions ii the Imperial Valley or else he would not have made the assertion that Imperial was going to receive all this money for cantaloupes and 1t also shows why the town of Imperial Is making the plea that Its very name Is an asset. Under the conditions which actually exist we can readily see why the name is an asset. The California CultIvator meant that from $l5o oco to S2oo, 900 would come back to the Imper al Val ley but the town In this case has re- celved the credit for 1t all, while the facts are the town will not receive a cent for cantaloupe.
 It's case of mistaken identity. where the other fellow Imperial Valley) gets the worst of the deal. Indeed, we are very thankful to the cultlvator tor showing up the real facts in the case, but would advise that paper to be little more careful in the future. be- cause it is the whole Imperial Valley that is raising cantaloupes and the oth- CT towns of the valley are receiving the money-not Imperial.

GOOD LODGES
lodges are We'll Represented in the
 Central Town

Fl Centro Is the lodge center of the imperial Valley. All of the most im- portant lodges have been organized at this place. The people here have had rhe push and energy to take the re- quIred steps toward getting lodges started, and with the institution of the independent Order of Odd Fellows here last Saturday night. the town now num- oers among its list two of the lodges of which it Is the hardest to organize a branch. After the Masons had been successful In getting started, the Odd Fellows of the valley were more anx- 1ous than ever to have a branch of .helr order instituted here.
 In both instances 1t required the as- sistance of members residing In the neighborlng towns of the Imperial Val ,ey and the members of both orders are very thankful to those of our sls CT towns who turned out so well and show ed such enthusiasm In helping to get things started.
 The Masons have a fine lodge here and a large membership and the Odd Fellows are bound to come right up alongside very shortly.
 The Eagle lodge is very strong or der here and numbers among Its mem- bers great many people from Calexl- co. Brawley. Holtville and Imperial.
 The Fraternal Brotherhood have just ,ately organized lodge and are stead fly adding new members.
 The fine lodge hall which has been provided here has been an inducement for members of lodges to work to have their orders represented. Heretofore. throughout the valley not much atten- lion has be5n paid to furnishing suit able halls for lodge purposes. but when the Valley State Bank building was planned provision was made for an ele- gant hall and that 1t has been appreci ated Is shown by the activity evidenced In lodge work since the first of the year.

More Home Si0htS Sold

H. c. Grlswold reports the sale of i've three acre tracts as follows: A. A. Grumble, two 3-acre tracts, $lllO: Leonard Postum, two 3-acre tracts $ll2O and one 3-acre tract to Mrs. U. s. Handley for $5lO. The interest that Is being taken In the acre tracts for home sights speaks well for the soil of the town. It Is known fact that anything will grow here and that In a short time beautiful home place can be made here. It has already been done in the short time that has been spent in fixing up the grounds around the houses. It has so often been re marked that the places around Fl Centro look so clean and the green seen growing Is delight to the eye Visit DTS from other places are always pleased 10 see the class of buildings they find here. Fl Centro Is bound to be the town of lovely homes as we'll as the business and commercial center of the valley.

Shows Larae Increase

During the season of 1906 twenty eight cars were iced and shipped from Fl Centro up to midnight June 26th. Figures obtained at the Hoton Power company's Ice plant on the same date this year shows that sixty cars have been iced and shipped from this point. Forty-three of these cars contained melons raised in and around Fl Centro, twelve cars from Holtvllle and five from Heber.
 > On June 26th. 1906, two cars were shipped from the Fl Centro Ice plant and on the corresponding date this year six cars. As heavysC shipments will continue for the next few weeks there will doubtless be many more cars shipped out this year than last, the in- crease up to "Wednesday of this week being. .thirty.two cars.
 Fl Centro Is rapidly forging to the front as shipping point for farm prod ucts of all kinds. The Ice plant here will next season have enough Ice in storage made during the winter and spring to Ice all refrigerator cars sen, out of the Imperial Valley.
