Imperial has as good a claim to be Egyptian as Pomona or Riverside to copy the architecture and formal gar dens of Italy "Knowest thou the land of the myrtle and lemon?" will do for Italy.

OFFER UNAVAILABLE.

At last weeks session of the county Board of Supervisors a resolution was adopted allowing all incorporated towns of Imperial county the use of the county jail at Fl Centro for con fining their prisoners. The point has been raised, however, that towns other than Ell Centro would have no legal right to take their prisoners out of their respective corporations and con fine them in jail; and that such action would at once open the way for habeas corpus proceedings in every such case, various city jails, and not to the coun- ty jail.
