Children Have Increased

When school assembled at BrawIey last week it was found that two teachers would not be able to take care of the children, the number having so materially increased since the last term. An extra teacher was telegraph ed for so that the work of get ting the school properly organ ized would not be delayed. It is believed that by fall there will be at least 200 school children in the Brawley district, and that it will then be possible to form a High School district there. The school trustees had fOrseen the possibility of another teacher and had already levied special tax for this emergency.

Has Opened Law Office

We are pleased to call attention to the business card of Atty. Yer nell Rapp, who comes to us very highly recommended, having had upwards of twenty years experi- ence in the practice of law, throughout Idaho, Utah and Wyoming, during which time he has successfully conducted many important cases both civil and criminal, and before the U. s. Land Office. Mir. Rapp visited this valley earlier in the season, and like all others who come here, became enthused with it's prospects, and concluded to cast his lot with us. We bespeak for him a fair share of the legal patronage.
 A Long Beach Party
 P. H. Hand, w. c. Denning, G. w. Maxim and 1. w. Lazenby madeup a party of Long Beach men who visited the valley this week. They were in Calexico, Fl Centro and Brawley. They saw some fine country, and were pleased with the rapid growth the valley had made in so short a time.
 Won't Come
 Gen. Prescott, register of the land office at Los Angeles sent word that he would come to the valley today, but at the last moment sends word again that he can't find the time. It was not believed by many that he would come at all, and this latest report from him is no surprise.

 Geo. E. Phelps, of Hunting ton Beach, has been in the valley for the past two weeks and has made pretty thorough in- spection of the possibilities here. He left yesterday noon for his home, and will close up his busi- ness there and come back to the valley with his family, to remain permanently. He is a brother in-law to l.. E.

 Bound for San Diego
 Supervisor Webster started for San Diego Tuesday morning, He deemed it necessary to be present at the meetings of the counties commission which is at present in session. The inter- ests of Imperial county will have to be looked after carefully, as it seems to be the disposition of some of the San Diego county officers to be little bit un- reasonable in certain matters. At the least it would seem they were going to try and cause some trouble over transcribing the as- sessment rolls for the new county.
 Bring Your Children
 School in Fl Centro will open next Monday morning, with Mrs. Rapp and Mrs. Futile as teach CTS. The school has been put ln readiness and the scholars are anticipating a happy school year in the new school building. It has been suggested by several of the patrons that they accompany their children the first day and thereby make the acquaintance of the teachers. It has been that in doing this way a bond of fellowship will have been gained which will result in a better school, and better schools it is urged, is what is needed. Let each parent of school children join next Mon day in giving to the teacher and scholar alike their moral support, and show an interest in the schools. The more interest the parent shows the more of an in- terest the child will take.

SUIT AGAINST CONTRACTOR
WILL TEST ORDINANCE
NEIeHBoRs OBJECT TO GRADING
CAMP
Law Giving Citizens Right to Protest
establishment of Objectionable
Business Is Basis of
Action

In the case of the People against John
Wilson, contractor who has located his
grading camp on Sunset boulevard, the
city ordinance which delegated to the
people of a neighborhood the power to
prevent the location there of an objec-
tionable industry will be tested.
The present ordinance provides that an
industry applying for a license to locate
in given district must present to the
council list of the owners of majority
of the frontage for distance Of three
blocks. This was intended to give the
people the power of protecting them
selves against undesirable industries
which might locate in neighborhood,
causing the value of real estate In that
locality to drop.
The people living near Wilson'S camp
objected to it and Assistant District At
torney Eddie issued a complaint against
the contractor Wilson intends to at
tack the ordinance on constitutional
grounds.
1t is claimed on the side of the con-
tractor that the council has no right
to delegate authority, especially of a
legislative nature, to the people. The
right to grant permits for the location
of industries is held to be transfer of
the legislative and non-delegable power
belonging to the council. The preliminary
hearing of the case will come up some
time during this week.

Heads of city departments are already
engaged in making out inventories of city
property in accordance with the wishes of
City Auditor w. c. Mushet, now in the

At a meeting of the city council held
September "a Mr.. Wallace moved, Sec

complete inventory of all city property in
it's possession or under it's control, so
designating it in detail as to make future
Identification possible, such list to be

cost price, and, second, the present value.
Said list to be ready November 1, 1907
and made of that date.
Each department is instructed to make
a new estimate of expense to conform with
its allowance for the present fiscal year,
and the city clerk is instructed to notify
the heads of all departments to make
said inventory and to present the same to
the city clerk on or before November

THINKS AFFINITY

NOVELIST
Mrs. Beulah Lane, schoolmate of
Writer'S Sister, Before Insanity
Commission-Case Is Put
Over Week

Mrs. Buelah Lane. who imagines she
is the affinity of Bret Harte. was on
trial before the lunacy commission yes
terday. The case was continued for one
week.
If Mrs. Lane had confined her hallu-
cination to the famous novelist it is not
likely she would have been taken to
court on an insanity complaint. When
walking on West Fifth street one day
last week she mistook prosperous fruit
dealer for her affinity.
Her husband, who accompanied her,
tried to explain that she must be mis-
taken and attempted to take her home.
She protested and in loud tones appealed
to her affinity to save her.
He retreated to the back of his store,
but she was not to be so easily dis
missed and it was necessary to take her
from the store by force. Mrs. Lane went
to school at Albany, N. Y. with Harte's
sisters and at one time was intimate
with the family.

The coming of Madame Gadsh Tues
day. October %, will be as important an
event unsteady as the present season
will offer. In Europe, as in this coun-
try, Gadski takes rank with the great
est of operate sopranos, her more re-
cent appearances, particularly those at
the Wagner festival in Munich, having
brought her unusual honors.
What praise can do justice to Cad
ski" exclaims the Cologne Tageblatt,
countess in "The Marriage of Figaro"
"She is the Nmost sensational feature
of the festival. She possesses an abso-
lutely wonderful voice. which, in spite of
it's true soprano timbre, has wide
range extending to the darker colors but
devoid at all times of shrillness or edge.
Her method is splendid, her registers
even and her tones strung with unvary-
ing uniformity"
Gadskis present tour is under the di-
rection in the west of l.. e. Behymer,
who has directed her concert work for
the past four visits to the coast
Max Dick, violin virtuoso, will be heard
in concert at the Auditorium Friday
evening, October 4, for the benefit of the
Francis Murphy memorial fund. Mr..
Dick is a violinist of extraordinary gifts
and musical talents and is esteemed by
the music lovers for his wonderfully
beautiful and fascinating Tone remark
able clean cut technique and artistic
bowling, all combining to make him one
of the most brilliant violinists of this
generation.
Mr.. Dick will be assisted by Mrs. Ed

Archibald w. Sessions, accompanist. All
of the artists are most efficient in their
work and are well and favorably known
in the musical world.
The second recital by Miss Elena Marin.
the dramatic soprano from Mexico will
be given at Simpson auditorium Thurs
day evening, October g. To those who
heard Miss Marin last Friday avening 1t
is not necessary to say anything about
her ability as vocalist. She not only
pleased in her operatic work, but the
lighter encore numbers were most excel

CHANCES BRIGHT
FOR CITY'S BAND
COUNCIL WILL FIND FUNDS
EARLY NEXT YEAR
May Finance Committee Chairman
and Promoter Hold Conference
and Find Opportunities for
Success Are Good

That Los Angeles will in time get a
municipal band is assured as a result of
a conference held yesterday between
Mayor A. C. Harper, Chairman A. ].
Wallace of the finance committee of the
council and Artist Paul De Longpre.
Assurances were given that the mayor
and Promoter De Longpre would be able
to raise 500 a week through the electric
lines and the public, whereupon Chairman
Wallace thought that after January the
council could spare $500 week for the
cause of music and publicity.
BY accepting outside engagements and
doing tour work 1t is thought the band
can soon make itself self-supporting.
The musicians will largely be Italian
Americans, though all must be natural
lied The Italians like to live in Southern
California. Soloists and some individual
Players will doubtless be drawn from Los
Angeles residents not Italian.
De Longpre thinks Nicola Donatelli,
who has lived in the United States for
seven years, would be an ideal leader.
The band will pay in the parks, march
through the streets nightly, lead parades
and appear at public occasions.
1t will cost $1,000 a week to run an or
ganizatlon such as is planned.
