It would seem that the building ac- tlvlty of the valleyls increasing with each week and especially Is this so in Fl Centro. Every carpenter and brick layer that can be had is rushed to the limit, trying to keep pace with the new buildings planned. In fact, enough skilled labor cannot be secured to han dle the buildings as rapidly as the owners wish. Besides the steam laun- dry building and the auxiliary plant to be built right away there have been more added to the list and the order has been given to rush the work
 pr. J. C. Blackinton has let the contract for $3OOO residence, to be built on Fourth street, between Olive and State streets. This house will be 32 by 30 feet with an 8 foot screen porch nearly all the way around, will have a cement foundation and a cellar underneath. It will be finished in first-class modern style and as soon as it Is completed the doctor will move his family to town and make this his home.

 for Joyous Time.
Imperial Valley Ministerial Union Launches Proect That w
 No Doubt Become Popular


 There Is a movement on foot among some of the leading people of the val ley to inaugurate picnic or celebra- ton to be held in May and In which all the people of the valley can have a part. The idea originated in the last session of the Imperial Valley Minis teral Union an3 it Is the intention of that organization to control the cele- bration.
 IL is agreed that the Fourth of July in this valley is slightly too warm and also too busy time to hold celebra- ton of the birth of the nation and not wanting to be left entirely without holiday at this season of the year It Is thought that if such a celebration could be moved up two months or so it would afford an opportunity for ev- erybody to get together and have a great time.

A PARTY FROM REDLANDS
Representative Men from the Beautiful City of
 RedIands Are Here in Fl Centro

That "seeing is believing" Is what has prompted large number of the foremost men of Redlands to visit our thriving and fast growing town (the "Redlands of the Imperial valley") and see for themselves what Is being done that Fl Centro should be receiving so much attention from the outside world.
 The party arrived on the morning train Friday and were immediately taken to the Hotel Fl Centro, where breakfast was served. Immediately they got busy looking the town over. The fine view from the top of the ho- tel afforded them an excellent oppor- tunity to see the growing fields of crops for miles around and many were the exclamations of surprise and pleas ure when 1t was fully realized that as far as could be seen every acre was in cultivation and the fields so neat and 0lean. In every direction prosperity Seemed to abound.
 Although w, T. Bill, president of the townsite company, came down a couple of days ahead of tho party and

It Is the purpose of the Mlnlsteria Union, we understand, to ask for ln- ducements from each of the towns o the valley and select that place which offers the greatest number and com bination of advantages to hold the gathering. Committees are to visit each place and hold mass mee tlnps to get the expression of the people as to the location so that each place wi have fair chance at tt.
 As to the program for the day there will be variety to please everybody, athletic competitions, races, contests and all kinds of amusements, while a program of literary and educ ationa nature will also have a pro minen place during the day
 The event is now barely outlined. but the idea will be popular and no doubt will be great success if carried out as planned so far.

Los Angeles Is the center of an electric railway system of nearly 700 miles of inter urban and l75 miles in the city. which gives cheap and easy transportation to the resorts of Southern California.

What Mr. Morgan is driving at is,

Morgan is right.
