MAKING A SHOWING
The Creamery Building is Fast As-
 Suming Proportions.

The creamery building Is progress ing right along. The foundation has been laid and the inside walls have been nearly finished. By Monday the walls will bel filled and insulated with cilocell land the brick walls are likely 10 bs begun at about the same timer The machinery commit tee of the crear rnery company is in Los Angeles at the present time pur- chasing the machinery and it Is ex- pected to have t installed by the 18th of April.
 At meeting of the Central Cream cry company here last Saturday the services of E. H. Sherman were se- cured as operator. Mir. Sherman comes here very highly recommended. he being a graduate of the Pennsyl- vania State College of Dalrylng and has been an active butter maker most of the time since 1892. With his su- perior ability 1t Is hoped that very high grade of butter will be turned out at this place and the profits to the dairymen will be somewhat increased. It has only been of late that satIsfact- ory results have been netted by the producers and many are inclined to believe 1t has been due to the efforts of an individual buyer who has just entered the field. This buyer. we un- derstand, knows the value of the Im- perlal Valley produce and Is giving now what 1t Is worth.
 With the opening of the creamery In Fl Centro prices are expected to be better as 1t Is the intention of the company to give value for value on all trades and the producer Is eagerly looking forward 10 the time when such a business policy will begin.

FIESTA THE FIRST
 WEEK IN NOVEMBER
The Time Has Been Set for the Fies-
 ia del VaIIe de Imperial

The Fiesta del Valle de Imperial committee met at Calexlco last We'd nesday, to set new date for the cele- bratIon of the closing of the break In the Colorado river. It was thought that as now Is our busiest season, after which will soon follow the hot weather, 1t were better to set the date of the fiesta for the first week in November At that time all lines of business will have become thoroughly settled and the farmers can then best take a hol- day, the weather will be perfect, every body will be happy and Calexlco will have had ample time to prepare for her many visitors That the fiesta will be successful Is a foregone conclu- sion, for the men who have 1t in charge are energetic and naturally successful and they intend to put forth their very best efforts on this occasion. Every body should do what they can to help the committee; for the signal success of this undertaking means much to the entire valley.
 The members of the committee present at the meeting "Wednesday were: J. A. Morrison, ]. B. Baker, of Calexico; R. H. Benton, of lmperl al, and Dr, Greenleaf. of Holtville.

WILL NOT PASS
Flint Bill Will Not Come Up in the
 House and Nothing Will Be Done

It Is now almost certain that there will be nothing done at thls session of congress regarding the lmperlal0valley. The appropriation for the control of the Colorado river will not be passed at this time. but there seems to be an opinion that the Southern Pacific will at some future time be refunded the amount of money lt has spent In effect ing this last closure.
 The amended Flint bill passed the senate. but when It came to the house 1t collded with Speaker Cannon and the reason for the collision was the fact that under Its provisions all money needed for the work by implication. was to come from direct appropriation from the public treasury and not from the reclamation fund. lt Is thought these appropriations would necessarily run to $8 100000. This Is the inter- pretatlon which the reclamation ser vice and others put on the wording of the bill and 1t was that which prompted Speaker Cannon to issue the mandate that the Flint bill should not be brought before the house out of regular order.
 This action Is not necessarily against reclamation, but many millions of dol lars have been placed at the disposal of the reclamation service for Its work. which Is yet in the experimental stage and congress Is rather reluctant about increasing the revolving fund of the service until 1t Is ascertained what de- gree of success will be attained.
 Just what move the reclamation ser vice will take, if any, to secure control of the valley Is now conjecture, but whether or not anything toward such a move is contemplated, 1t Is being as- sured on authority that every dollar needed ty Imperial valley will be avail able from Southern Pacific sources and the irrigation system will become a model one, vlelng with government works in the solidity of ifs cement structures and Its canal systems, which will be greatly extended.

NOW THE EXTENSION
WOrkmen are Being Taken to CaIexi-
 CO to Work on the Yuma Line

Thursday morning large force of men passed through here on their way to Calexlco and were at once put to work by EngineeN E. Jack Carrlllo. of the Southern Pacifie. to extend the Imperial valley branchef that system to Yuma.
 This makes the third time work has been started on this extension and 1t is confidently expected that 1t will be completed this time.
 Since the cutting back of New river the route for this new line has been re- surveyed and quite a change made. The line will now run farther east than before and will likely go about the cen ter of Calexico and thence south into Lower California.
 When this new line to Yuma Is fin- lshed 1t Is believed by many that the Southern Pacific will run through trains on the Imperial valley line. 1t would thus have longer but easier haul and could make better time and would not have to traverse so much barren country as 1t does at present.

To further help in solving the so- called car shortage problem the rail- roads are now endeavorlng to hurry cars along with a manifest system which keeps cars loaded with perish able and hlgh-class freight on through trains and quick schedules. Every ef- fort, too, Is made to utilize the equip mont capacity of the cars.
 Recently all the important lines of the country. including all the Hartman lines, have reached an agreement to charge each other and all other lines a higher per diem rental than formerly. for the purpose not of increasing rev. enue, but to keep the cars on the move and make 1t an object to a line dlla' tory in getting cars not needed started on their way home. They have also formed car clearing house whereby the equipment of the country Is to be treated as unit and used to best ad- vantage. Through this clearing house records are made daily of surplus cars all over the country and of the districts where they are most needed and move ment ordered accordingly.
 With all these improvements then what Is the troubled.

CAUSE EXPLAINED
Why it is There is Car Shortage. Business Increases Faster Than
 Cars Can Be Made

Pacific company, claiming that the rash statements made in relation to car shortage have almost uniformly been unjust to the Hartman lines, has prepared statement from figures in the office of General Manager Calvin, showing what has been done and what Is being done to care for the Pacific coast business through increased equip ment. The statement relates that dur ing the past five years the Hartman lines have anticipated the development of the territories which they serve and have, as matter of fact, ordered equipment further than the engine and car factories have been able to turn 1t out. From January lst, 1902. to Jan uary lst, 1907, the Hartman lines ex- pended for new equipment $6o,ooo,- GOO or forty thousand dollars for every work day In that period. They pur- chased l,l94 new locomotives and 4O.l96 new freight cars. They now have orders in for over l4,ooo other cars or 20 per cent. of their present equipment. In other words, the roll ing stock of the company Is to be in- creased one-flfth during the calendar year If the cars can be secured.
 The tonnage caracity of freight cars to be delivered In 1907 is equal to the tonnage furnished during the preceding five years. The increase in motive power during the year Is not so great. but Is very substantial, being 50 per cent. over 1902.
 The most hopeful comparison Is the showing that to move a business which has increased 4 per cent in 1907 over 1902 there will be available o6 per cent. more car capacity and 69 per cent. more locomot ve capacity than in 1902. These statements. though illus tratlng In striking way, the increase In equipment, as we'll as traffic, do not fully illustrate the claim of the South ern Pacific company that 1t is endeav bring to anticipate fully the needs of Its business. Freight business Is variable during the year on all lines and equip ment Is plentiful at certain seasons and scarce at others. The only car short age of importance In the Hartman lines Is in the fall of the year when they are called on 10 move the traffic of a section where the chief business activity Is directly or indirectly devel- oped through agricultural or hortlcul- turaI products or of timber which reaches Its height after midsummer. Briefly, these lines must carry sidlngs full of empty cars eight months in the year to care for the other four months. During the last four years October has been the heaviest month in freight traffic on the Hartman lines. There has. however. been gradual shifting of movement so that the movements h other months Is increasing relatively compared with the crop-moving months With the following result:

Let to An imperial Contractor

The board of school trustees has awarded the bullklng of Holtvllle's new school house to Contractor Seeley of Imperial, for the sup of $3455.
 The plans, which we're drawn by Ar chltect F. T. Harris, of Redlands, will provide Holtvllle with a commodlous and handsome school building.
 The building will consist of two large rooms, one 3o.6x25 feet and the other 24x36 feet. There will be folding doors between, so that the two rooms can be brown into one large assembly room. Both rooms will be we'll light. ed and ventilated and everything will be completed in modern style.
 In the front part of the building will be large entry hall, leading off of which will be good sized library room. There will also be a large basement under the building.
 The foundation will be brick. but the building will be a wooden structure with redwood siding, shlngle roof with tower crowned by flag pole.
 Contractor Seeley will begin work at once, as his contract calls for the building to be completed and ready for occupancy on April l.-Holtvllle Trlb- une.
 The Good Times Club, of Holtvllle, entertained at the home of Miss Ma belle Swindle last evening. A num- Der of Fl Centro went over in the auto car and report fine time. They were Mesdames C. Buttress and P. o. Par sons; Misses Alma Futile and Fannie Kinne: Messts ~Chas. and Wesley Masten, Chas. Stack, G. A. Chllders, R. P. L. Moore. F. A. Griswold and A. w. Woods drove oyer.

doing far better than the average In the United States and that trains are not lying Idle In sldlngs.
 Other criticisms have been made that notwithstanding the Increase In car and locomotive facilities. there has been great compositions In yards and on main lines because the track room was not sufficient to care for the increased business. In reply to these criticisms the Hartman lines management offers the following figures:
 I've have since June 3oth, 1902, increased cars owned Is per cent. car mileage Is per cent and train mileage l7 per cent.
 During the same period we have increased our main double track (two tracklngs) 2l4 per cent and have add ed 100 miles or 30 per cent. to yard tracks and sldings.
 "For each car owned there are 362 feet of yards and sldlngs compared with 322 feet four years ago."
 From figures on file In the general office of the Southern Pacific 1t Is learned that In 1906 over 24ooo0 freight cars were built in the United States, an increase of over 65 per cent over the average for the previous five years.
 Seven thousand locomotives were built In 1906 compared with an aver age of 4,300 during the preceding five years. Every locomotive works and car factory in the country Is working up to Its limit; cars that under contract should have been delivered last sum- mer to the Southern Pacific are only arriving now.
 That the railroads of the country have sought to make provision to meet the growing demands of traffic is am- ply proven by the following figures, which show the orders placed by them for freight cars to be built each year during the period named:
