INCREASED POWER PLANT
Holton Power Company Arranging for TrehIing the Capacity of Works

Holtoa Power Company Arranging for
 Trebiing the Capacity of Works
 The Holton Power company is perfecting arrangements for trebling the capacity of it's water power plant for the production of electric energy at Holtville. The use of electric light and power is increasing so rapidly in the val ley that there is danger of over loading of the present plant, and the company is providing for the future and for wide margin of safety. The steam power plant now being completed at El Gen. tro is an auxiliary and a precau- tion against possible disablement of the main plant.
 There is not the slightest foun- dation for the report that the in- function included in the decision of Judge Wellborn will be di- rected against the use of water for the generation of power. Certain persons have filed claims on the waste water flowing in Alamo channel, and doubtless they would be pleased if the Holton Power Company, or any one else, would build the expen- sive works required to put the water where it can be used for irrigation. But there is no like lihood that the power company can be bluffed into building cost ly irrigation works for the bene. fit of others. Under the law of the State governing the appro- priation and use of water, power plants stand upon exactly the same footing as irrigation works.

FL CENTR0 CHAMPIONS
 OF VALLEY LEAGUE
First Season Ends With Victory
 Over CaLexiCO
Cup Goes To Court House Aggrega- ton and New Series to be Started Fine Playing Won Eight Games Out of Nine For EI Centro.

By agreement of the managers of the baseball teams of the Im- perial Valley league, the league season has been declared closed with Fl Centro winner of the championship and silver cup. El Centro had won every game but one and the lead was considered too great to be overcome, so the suggestion was made by Holt vile and Imperial and acceded to by Fl Centro that the season be closed and some arrangement made for a series of games in which there might be more in- terest.
 The cup will be made and suit ably inscribed soon.
 Sundays game in El Centro proved to be a walk away for the home team. Hester for CaleXico was not up to his usual work and the local players batted him all over the field. The score was El Centro 10, Calexico 3.
 Imperial, with a weakened team, was badly beaten by Holt vile by a score of F to 3.

Mir. Rancher, just minute! A neighbor of ours sent to Chicago for watch It was 15 jeweled Waltham, and he brought it to me and asked what the value of it was. He said he paid $8.45 for it and when told him that 1 sold that grade of watch of the Jewellers quality at $750, he did not look very pleased.
 have worked in watch factories and also some of the largest jew elry stores, both in England and America, and know what am talking about when 1 am talking about watches.
 ''The superintendent of large watch factory, while instructing his classifer, holds in his hands two watches which, in appearance, are exactly the same, but there is a great difference. Watch No. is as nearly perfect as human skill can make it, and is sold only through the jewellers and cannot be sold for less than $25. While watch No. 2 looks to be the same as No. 1, there is an imperfection. It is true that it has the same number of jewels and all other parts, but you see that some of the jewels are faulty, the pivots don't fit their jewels and the springs are imper- feet. It has been handled roughly and to make it perfect would cost about as much as it would to build new one out and out, and if sent to a jeweler it would come back. So, as matter of course, it is money for the factory to class it second or discontinued, sell it to the mail order department of the catalogue house at one-third less than the first quality or watch No. 1, or at a discount of $8.50. The factory has noth- ing further to do with this watch. The mail order house is at liberty to sell it for what they choose. As matter of fact, the mail order house proceeds to catalogue it and sell it to those unaware of the tricks of the trade and who live thousands of miles away"
 have a good stock of ladies and gentlemen's watches, guaranteed to be of the first quality, suitable for Xmas presents, and until further notice shall take 25 per cent off the catalogue price, from $1.OO up Call in and see me be- fore sending outside.

hear it and they had to be pried apart
by Jeffries. 1t was Attells round. At
tell gave a fine exhibition of clever
ducking.
Round 3-Moran sent Attell to the
ropes with left hook to the stomach
and they wrestled to the center of the
ring. Moran sent AttelPs head back a
foot with straight left to the jaw and
the latter looked a. bit worried. Attell
began talking to Moran and the men
exchanged a bit of sharp repartee as
they fought to a c1fnch. Moran drove
his right to the chin in clinch. Attell
planted two short arm left jolts to the
face Moran swung his left to the head
and the men seemed loath to break
from a clinch. Moran had a slight lead
in this round. Both men displayed
marked cleyerness.

TREATED HER SHAMEFrULLY.
Man Refuses to Marry the Girl Who
Went to Dakota to Meet Him.

Miss Allie Aerl is home from Dako-
ia. Charlie Hull, on whose account
she gave up her school and went
alone to Dakota where they were to
be married, seems to have played the
part of a scoundrel. He Inundated
her by refusing marriage, driving her
crazy with grief and shame. Hull took
her to st. Paul, paid a little board,
and left her. The next word she had
of him was a letter from New York
stating that he had sailed for South
America Finally her relatives learned
the truth and sent her money to come
back home. The broken hearted girl
will receive nothing but sympathy ana
kindness from the people of Jewell,
who feel exceedingly bitter toward
Hull, whom they had previously con-
sidered a very upright young man.
