, Once more woman has demonstrated
her superior vitality, to the discomfit-
ure of mere man. OF the centenarians
who died in the United Kingdom dur
ing last year forty were women, and
only a paltry sixteen were mem In
1905 the numbers were thirty-six and
twenty-five respectively, and In 1904,
forty-one and twenty-five. During the
last ten years the women who died
after completing 100 years, at least, Of
life exceeded the male centenarians by
S27 to 177-an advantage OF nearly S5
per cent.
can equally claim the superiority.
Bridget Danahar, who died last March
In Limerick, was said to be 112 years
old, Mary O'Hara, another daughter
of Erin, was only two years younger.

HOLTVILLE SIGNS UP
Lyons and COgginS Companies Will
 Handle the CantaIOupeS

The HotvlleN Cantaloupe Assocla- ton held a meeting Wednesday, and signed up a contract for this seasons output. Lyon Bros. company. of New York, and M. o. Coggins company, of Pittsburg, Pa, secured the contract on a very satisfactory basis to both parties concerned. They are to receive so cents per crate advance on Fancy Standards until a certain number of cars have been shipped, the HoltvIlle Association to do Its own pooling and the money will be remltted to the As soclatlon Instead of to the grower d. rect as was done last year. This ar rangement pleases all parties better, but last year 1t was practically all an experiment and the knowledge gained helped both shipper and grower to come to a more intelligent conclusion as to what was needed this year. The acreage signed for Holtvllle will ap- proximate about 200 acres, however 1t Is thought by some that before the planting season Is over there will be nearly 25O acres put in.

MAKING A SHOWING
Ice Factory Looms Up Again and
 Work is Being Rushed

It Is certainly surprising with what rapidlty construction work Is being rushed on the Ice plant. The brick walls of the engine room are rising apace and quite rapidly, too, consider Ing they are of extra thickness. The Inside walls of the freezing room and of two storage rooms are already In place and ready for the insulation. The freezing room In the new structure Is being built where the creamery part was in the one which was burned. This room Is so arranged that 1t will be possible to keep the temperature at a lower point than before, thus enabling much more rapid freezing, consequent ly larger capacity. The machinery has already arrived and Is being un- loaded and assembled.
 There will be no delay In the work now and Fl Centro is congratulating It. self that 1t will have a larger, better and more convenient Ice. factory than 1t had before.
 And more convenient 1t will be. too, for the plans on which 1t Is being built this time are such that all faults of the other one have been corrected The new structure Is so built that cars may be loaded from both the west and east sides, while on the south provision is made for loading wagons in an easy manner Last year proved that the wagon trade was no small factor to be reckoned with, for nearly every farmer bought at the factory door from 100 to 200 pounds of Ice day and many dalries bought in great deal larger E quantities.

New Side Track

The Southern Pacific Is getting ady for the big rush of business dur 5 the canta!oupe season. The side [ck leading to the packing house Is be extended up to past the Ice plant, sslng between the plant and the trans |mer house, connecting with the blton Inter Urban railroad on the nth. This new connection with the
 l. will enable the cars to be Iced ming from Holtvllle without inter
 Ing with other cars receiving Ice at
 other side of the plant. Last year
 reat deal of annoyance and loss of
 e was experienced because of the k of another connecting track be-
 en the two roads.

Found Them MisinfOrmed

]. Stanley Brown, the hardware man, was in Los Angeles this week on busl- ness, returning Thursday morning. ,Mr. Brown says he finds that most of the business men with whom he talked have been woefully mislnformed re- gardlng the conditions of this valley and 1t is traceable to reports sent out from here In a sensational manner and published in the daily papers. The articles are always "scare headed" and attract the readers eye and on these fabrlcatlons they base their knowledge and belief. The wholesalers and re- tallers of the City of Angels would do we'll to more thoroughly understand the country from whence comes SO much of their support.

Keep the Roads Dry

The committee appointed by the chamber of commerce to look after the roads leading to Fl Centro, have asked the Press to state in their behalf that numerous persons are letting wat CT out into the roads, thereby hinderlng travel to great extent. The commit tee wishes it understood that action is likely to be taken against these violat- CTS of law against the public good if the oftease is repeated. There should be no troubIe~abQut this matter and certainly will not be if irrlgators would be more careful about flooding the roads. It's waste of water anyway and should not be permitted under any circumstances. However the com mittee will no doubt have the support of the entire community if hereafter they should proceed against anyone who Is negligent about this matter.

FAVORABLE REPORT
Irrigation Committee Approves $2,- OOO,OOO Measure to Hold Colo
 radO River

Washington, Jan. 29-Senator Fllnt's bill approprlating $2.ooo,ooo to protect the interests of the United States on the Lower Colorado river was favorably reported Monday by the committee on irrigation.
 Senator Flint's plan to have a recla- nation district established along the Colorado is agreed to by the commit tee and the recommendation to appro- prlate $2000,0o0 to construct and maintain such works as will hereafter conflne the Colorado river to Its old channel Is approved. The measure also provides that the Hartman inter est may be reimbursed for moneys expended in this work subsequent to December 20, 1906. The president is to determine what sum, if any, shall be paid to Hartman.
 Authority is also given in the bill to enter into an agreement with the Re- public of Mexico in order that the nec- essary work can be done.
 So much of the cost of the work on the Colorado as may be of direct ben eft to any irrigation project will be as sessed proportionately to any land thus benefited.

AT THE BREAK
Rock Shows Clear Across the Gap
 and the Fall is Nearly Two Feet

The work of shutting out the water Is going along rapidly and smoothly The following from the Yuma Sun gives clear statement of the progress being made:
 "The second trestle at the intake will be completed by to- morrow noon and rock dumping from It will begin at once. Word was received from the heading last night stating that the building of the third trestle has been abandoned, as 1t was not considered necessary in the task of turning the Colorado into the old channel.
 M.re than two feet of water are flowing into the old bed and every rock now dumped from the first trestle can be seen above the surface of the water.
 In spite of the rain which was prev alent Tuesday, reports received at the heading on the condition of the tribu- tares of the Salt and Gia are much the same as they have been all week.
 The work is being rushed in every possible way at the intake In order to so enforce the dam that should sud- den raise occur in the eastern part of the territory no possible damage could be done to the dam across the break"

PROGRESSIVE tASTSIDE
HOItVilIe and Its Surrounding Country

Water companies Nos. 5 and 7 comprise what Is known as the East side when referred to collectively and the most of those who live there are proud of the reputation the EastsIde Is acquiring for Its progressIveness. They are ever alert to the best interests of their community, as Is evidenced by the following from the Holtvlle Tribune:
 "Holtville is to have a creamery. So say a number of our best dairymen who are associating themselves together for the building and equipping a first-class creamery for the benefit of themselves and the community in general.
 There are in the vicinity of Holtville some of the finest herds of dairy COWS to he found in the Imperial valley and the number is constantly being increased so that now the output of cream each month will compare most favorable with any other section and twill assure the success of the enterprise"
 Also Vineyard
 "Arakelian Brothers, who are commits sion merchants doing business in Fres- no, Calif., and Portland, Ore, who have been looking over the valley for the past two weeks have decided to make Holt vile the point of their operations.
 During the past week these gentlemen have closed a number of land deals for the purpose of engaging the raising of grapes. They have secured 80 acres of the K. L. Kendle place near Gleason's siding, the G. N. Apkins place north of town and 320 acres of B. Howard Whit comb in No. and are negotiating for a number of other tracts close to town.
 It is their intention to set out grapes on the different pieces of land secured and during the period of the vineyards maturing they will raise cantaloupes.
 Operations will be begun by them at once in order to raise cantaloupes for this seasons output"
