step should be towards the treatment of

trouble is due to diseased condition of
the kidneys and bladder and not to a

MeIba In Paris.

Nine. Melba has seldom received
such a remarkable ovation as that
which greeted her appearance at the
recent opera gala performance In
Paris. 1t cannot. however, compare
in delirious enthusiasm with one she
received some years ago in st. Peters
burg. On one memorable night, after
the close of the opera. she was called
before the curtain again and again
for more than an hour. until she was
SO exhausted that she could scarcely
stand. Her enthusiastic admirers
then followed her carriage to the ho-
tel, where they serenaded her. al
though it was bitterly cold night,
until three o'clock in the morning. On
the following day when she reached
the station to depart the platform was
crowded with hundreds of adoring
music lovers. AS the train was leav-
ing they took the pencil with which
she had written her autograph for
all who could get near her, bit 1t into
small pieces and passed them around
as souvenirs.

Babies Had Skin Troubles.

my baby had running sore on his
neck and nothing that did for 1t took
effect until l used Cuticura. My face
was nearly full Of tetter or some sim
liar skin disease. 1t would itch and
burn so that l could hardly stand 1t.
Two cakes of Cuticura Soap and a box
OF Cuticura Ointment cured me. Two
years after it broke out on my hands
and wrist. Sometimes I would go
nearly crazy for 1t itched SO badly. I
went back to my old standby, that
had never failed me-one set Of Cuti-
cura Remedies did the work. One
set also cured my uncle's baby whose
head was a cake Of sores. and another
baby who was in the same fix. Mrs.

TREES AND PARKS.
Ten Thousand Club Making Progress
 Toward Public Improvement.

Progress was reported by the com mittee on ree-planting at the Ten thousands Clubs meeting last Mon day night The committe is making list of owners of lots in the city and preparing a plan of planting and car ing for trees on the streets. Each owner will be asked to contribute to fund which the club will devote to ornamenting the strets of El Centro with shade trees. The expense to each lot owner will be considerably les for planting and two years care of all the trees on his frontage than the value he would place on one two year-old tree.
 The park committee reported prog ress in negotiations for a site of the gateway park. and read letters from Southern Pacific officers approving the project and intimating that the rail road may cooperate. Propositions to enlist the club in other park projects were made but as it is the declared policy of the club to keep at one thing until that is finished and not to diff fuse it's energies promiscuously, the president declined to entertain the motions.
 The possibility of securing the es- tablishment in this valley of an eX- pertinent station of the bureau of plant industry was debated, and the secre- tary was instructed to correspond with the proper officials for the purpose of ascertaining the requirements in the matter of soil and location, and to as- certain what is being done by other valley towns, if anything, toward To- eating a station. H. C. Griswold sug- gested that the vicinity of Meloland might be suitable for a station, and offered ten acres for the purpose.

acres properly, he argues, and can so control his crop as to bring the melons in when the market calls for them. He would not be obliged to hire help except for the picking MT. Law erence also advocates employment of field inspectors to direct the picking instead of depending wholly upon platform inspectors. Five acres, well handled, will produce more market able melons than twenty acres man. aged as melon fields are now man. aged, and the profit to the grower would be greater
 It is generally admitted that the dis tributors ruined the market this year in their eagerness to ship the first carloads. They sent out green stuff and knocked the reputation of Cali fornia cantaloupes at the very start.
 It all comes down to this that until the cantaloupe growers of Imperial Valley combine and adopt the system developed by the citrus fruit men, the melon industry can be nothing but scramble and a gamble.

the pool. The architectural design is a pleasing one.
 Carpenters and painters have reached the finishing work on the large two-story residence for M. w. COnkling, on Brighton street This is the most pretentious residence yet erected in El Centro.
 The Southern Pacific railroad still has force of men at work on it's new brick passenger station and var ious other improvements in it's El Centro property. New track laying is in progress; switch yards are being filled and graded, and preparations are being made for the transfer next week of much of the company's business from the new freight depot to the passenger station.
 New structures have been put up in the residential parts of town. Some of them are but temporary tent-houses while others are substantial frame but all tend to show that Fl Centro is well on the way to the desired 10000 mark.

NEW DROPS ON THE ALAMO.
Protective Work on Canal System. Re-
 trenchment Order Issued.

The California Development Com pany has 50 men at work putting in a new drop on the Alamo on the Mex ican side, which will cost about $15,- 900, and is waiting for material to begin work on new and permanent structure at the ten-foot drop. The wooden structure at the latter point is in bad shape and rain probably would cause it to go out. The new work will cost $10,000 and probably will be completed in about a month. No other new work is going on, and orders have ben issued to reduce the force to the minimum. About forty per cent of the company's employees will be laid off.

PASSING OF CAMP THESPIA.
Little Colony of Actor CantaIoupe
 Growers Broken up and Dispersed

The occupants of Camp Thespia hauled their last load of cantaloupes into Fl Centro on Tuesday night, and on Thursday Frank Damsel and Mrs. Damsel left for New York to join the Peter Clark Company Damsel will play the lead this season in a play written by him for Clark, and his wife will be a member of the company Lawerence Hazeltine expects to go East in a few days to take theatri- cal engagement, leaving Mir. Johnson to close up the affairs of Camp Thes- pia and settle with the cantalOupe dis tributors Mrs. Stevens has gone to Los Angeles.
 The actors do not think they made any money growing cantaloupes, but as they were among the late shippers they may come out even. They have worked hard, lived the simple life, gained health and good coats of tan, and have made many friends during their stay in the Valley. They have been plucky and cheerful through all the discomfort and Encouragement, and it is not their fault if their hard work has not been profitable.
 Lester Stevens has decided to stay in El Centro. He is an accomplished musician, and he will lead the El Gen. tro orchestra and band and possibly open a music store next fall. MT. Stevens will make visit to his old home soon, intending to return in Oct ober and take up his work in music.

VALUATION
 OF IMPERIAL COUNTY
MORE THAN SEVEN AND A HALF
 MILLION DOLLARS.
Supervisors Sit as Board of EquaIza- tion.-Receive But One Protest, and That Only on Technical Point of Law Affecting Possessory Rights.

Imperial cOuntys assessed valuation for the current year is $7,577,944 which includes the State Board of Railroad Commissioners assessment of $1,936,792 on railroads and railroad stock
 County Assessor Fred Fuller and his corps of assistants finished their work Wednesday night, after stren- uOus siege of three weeks which in- cluded nights and Sundays. The as sessment rolls were turned over to the County Supervisors on Thursday, and that forenoon they organized as a Board of Equalization,
 Only one protest was made to the Board on Thursday. H. R. BalcOm, owner of ranch lands adjoining the city of El Centro on the west appear. ed to enter his protest against assess. ing his possessory right to his land.
 BalcOm admitted that he had no pro test to make against the assessment as compared with the general assess ment of the county properties; but wanted his protest to go on record, so that if desired the matter of as sessing pOssessory rights might be taken up in the courts.
 The board listened to his eXplan- ation, and then adopted a resolution declaring his application denied, as the subject was a matter of law, and not one on which the board has auth ority to act.
