his sister, Josephine Cohan Niblo. was
his dancing partner. In a reproduction
of the play, Ethel Levy COhan, his
wife, was Josephine's successor. But
Ethel has divorced herself to marry
Robert Edeson, and there are three
SUCCESSORS in the present revival-Miss
Hoffman to do the talking, and a pair
of dumb NUT agile girls TO dance with
him. But Papa and Mamma COhan are
there as ever.

 The Calexico Bridge Fund
 At the Calexico postohice there is a subscription list for the bridge across New river to No. 6 which has already nearly $1000 subscribed. An effort is being made to make the list as com plete as possible and then it will be sent to the board of supervis- ors with a petition for a bridge. Delegation from BrawIey
 A delegation was down from Brauley Tuesday forenoon to lay before the board of Supervisors the matter of putting a bridge across New River to No. 8, west  of that town. Representatives of No. 8 and Brauley who were present at the meeting were: F. A. Stahl, M. D. Witter, A. c. Brown, Jack Bennett and w. w. Dagnall,
 May Locate on Eastside
 Mcleod, proprietor of the Me Leod Nurseries of San Bernar- dino, was in the valley last Sat urday. He informed the Press man that he was quite certain of locating on the Eastside. If he does locate he will put in a large nursery stock and will grow the most of it himself. He likes the county and thinks all kinds of vegetation will grow better here than anywhere else in California. Back from the East
 NRoy L. Rumsey and family came in last Sunday night from El Cajon, where Mrs. Rumsey has been for some time past. MT. Rumsey was just returning from his shopping tour in the east, where he went to buy goods for the El Centro Department store and his store at Holtville. Roy is looking fine and says he is feeling just as good over his trip to eastern parts. He inti- mates that he made some good purchases for his stores and looks for a big rush of business this fall.

 An Orchestra Formed
 An orchestra has been formed in Fl Centro for the purpose of furnishing music for parties, concerts and dances. At the present it consists of three pieces. The members so far are: Miss Flora Masten, piano; M. A. Stow CT, violin, and H. Wilds. cornet. Back From the North
 Archie Robinson is back again, this time to stay. He has been in the northern part of the state this last summer. MT. Robinson was with the Fl Centro Depart ment store and afterward with the Holton Inter-U Urban railway last winter and made many friends who are glad to see him back again.
 Had Pleasant Trip
 ! H. c. Griswold and bride re- turned the latter part of last week from their trip to San Die go, LaJolla, Riverside and other coast points. They are at pres ent making their home at the home of the brides parents, but as soon as they can get their new house finished they will move to El Centro and make this their home.
 County Seals
 The county seals have arrived and the designs are very good. The seal for the board of super visors shows the valley in the foreground with canal running through and in the background are a range of mountains over which sets crown. The seal of the superior judge represents the goddess of liberty weighing out justice.
 Installed an Adding Machine
 The Valley State Bank has in- stalled an adding machine. This is great time and labor saving device, which altogether elimin- ates any possibility of mistakes. In balancing the banks books at the close of a days business this adding machine will materially lessen the work of the bookkeep- CT. An adding machine has also been placed in the banks at Braw- ley, Holtville and Calexico.
 Started to Making Brick
 H. H. Peterson started a force of men to work making brick at Holtville this week. Mr. Peter son informs the Press man that his new brick machine will be here in about ten days and the motor to run it will probably ar rive a couple of weeks later. This machine will be installed in MT. Peterson's yards at Holtville and will have a capacity of 5000 brick day This new equip ment will involve an outlay of over $7OOO and will materially aid in supplying the increased de- mand for brick in the valley.

Two cars of hogs were trans ferred here Saturday from the Holton Inter Urban railroad, they having been shipped from Holtville The Eastside is pro- it's share of pork for the market and will continue to keep up the pace.
 Furniture for Officers

Eleven roll top and six flat top desks, two type writers, a safe made by the Vict- or safe company, of manganese steel, of one quarter million dol lar specie capacity, some blanks and other nec6ssaryA articles are among the purchases.

 Garden Planting
 E. E. Forester has just finish ed planting five acres of beans, one acre of sweet corn, two va- rieties and eight sacks potatoes. ! He has potatoes coming up al- ready from an earlier planting. MT. Forester is setting an eX- ample every farmer in the valley should follow. A garden patch should be a part of every farm. It saves lots of money and en- ables you to live better besides. Lloyd Brown Improving
 J. Stanley Brown returned evening from Los An geles where he had been to look l after the welfare of his son, Lloyd, who recently underwent an operation for appendicitis. Mir. Brown says the patient is getting along as nicely as could be expected and was removed from the hospital last Sunday. Probably Mrs. Brown and the son will return to the valley in a couple of weeks.
 Embezzlement Charged
 Deputy Sheriff Jake Meadows a young man by the name of Ed. Moore at Calexico, Monday. He was arrested on a charging him with em- bezzling a stock of jewelry from a firm for which he travelled at one time. There were said to be some diamonds in the lot. Moore had been employed at the Del monico restaurant at Calexico since it's opening. An officer from Los Angeles came down Tuesday and took him to that place where he will be tried. Land Office Business Done Here
 The residents of the valley should bear in mind that they may now make their annual and final proofs, file applications and contests, in fact, any land office business before the county clerk. In requesting to make final proof you may have same made before the county clerk of Imperial at his office in El Centro. This means a great saving to the residents of the valley in railroad fare; in fact, such a big saving

County Auditor Resigns

T. J. Kellogg, county auditor, handed in his resignation to the board of supervisors, which was not acted upon at this last meet ing. The salary of the county auditor is too small to warrant anyone devoting his time to the office and it will be merged with either the clerks or recorders. MT. Kellogg intends to stay in the office until the assessment roll is made up.

AN HONEST MAN

TAUNTON, Mass, April 2.-Will.
lam Cullen, who confesses he is a
tramp, broke all traditions of his
genius and stamped himself as a man
whom Diogenes would heartily ap-
prove. Without a cent of money in
his pocket, with no prospects Of a
shelter for the night, he picked I'D
a pocketbook containing $103, which
subsequently proved to be the prop
erty of Frank Weller.
Cullen was wandering by the post
office when he saw the p~ocketbook
and picked 1t up. He opened 1t and
his eyes bulged out as he looked at
the roll within. He counted the
bills, and then asking for the near
est police station made his way to
police headquarters, where he
planked the treasure in front OF
Captain James Cash, saying he had
found It.
The captain counted the money
and later turned 1t over to the own
er, who rewarded the finder. Cullen
Immediately proceeded to celebrate
with the reward.

Sam Baylis, manager of the
Dutch Creek Gold Mining & MILLING
company, has had a force of men
working on their Bonanza group OF
claims for several days past to get

capped owing to the scarcity of bur-
ros' which were mostly all busy pack
