COUNTY STATISTICS
 SHOW GREAT GROWTH
Production, Improvement and Great Wealth of Impe- rial Valley in AS-
 SeSSOr'S Books

The Morning Star is enabled here with to present to it's readers an ar ray of statistics on Imperial county heretofore unpublished, and which make a telling commentary on the progress of this valley in the few years which have elapsed since it was a barren desert.
 These figures were compiled by w. L Mccoy, County Statistician, for the Board of Supervisors, and the report was sent to the board at it's session on Monday. The report will be sent to the Secretary of the State Board of Agriculture, and will be incorpora- ted in the next general report of that body.
 The figures of this compilation are taken from the work of County As and therefore refer to the valuations and numbers for preceding year. Since the county's assessment roll was completed there has been great expansion in various lines mentioned in this report, so that in some in- stances the present figures would be practically double those shown ill the following statement:

1hsxlRg a Fire Engine.

Thawing a fire engiLel Probably
no fire department in the state has
ever heard of such a thing. but that
was what occurred in Williamsburg
last Saturday. The Board Of Trade
requested the Mayor 70 put a stove
IN the market house. the old shell of
a building where the $1,000 fire
fighter is kept. and TO take such
other steps as he thought necessary
TO keep the engine IN working order.
Saturday morning Mr.. +. B. War
zen. who has charge of the machine.
went 70 work to thaw the pump.
He succeeded after a strenuous daY.
But Saturday night il froze Up
again. and was out of commission.
Of course.
Monday by the order of Mayor
WsTburton. a large wood-stove was
put IN by Mr.. Beale. but il did not
keep the pumps from freezing again.
The engine is practically out OF
commission as long as the hard
freezes continue. and if a fire occurs
early in the morning il would have
10 be fought by the bucket brigade,
or bum itself out.

From the Philadelphia Press
That the people never grow tired
of real old fashioned minstrel show
conducted on modern lines was
strongly evidenced last night when
Murphy and Gibson packed the
Grand Opera House with their gal
sxy Of Black face artists. The end
men were the best We have seen IN
wears. and the jokes they cracked
were real new ones. The baby IN
eubator act is one everybody should
sect was a laughing hit. The
performance closed with a scene IN
a modern hotel written by ALI. s.
Gibson. Many funny incidents that
brought every day life 70 mind were
introduced. II was a scream from
opening to closing with a grand
finale that wake everybody up.
The above Minstrel's viii appeal

Ferdinand Schumacher. the dead ''oat-
meal king deserves more thar a passing
tribute. He had won a double niche in
the temple of fame. He will rank with the
Morses, McCormicks and Edisons as a
hero OF invention, and among the Have
meyers and Armours as a captain of In
dustry.
Schumacher found the American break
fast table q chaos OF pancakes. hot bis
suit and pie, and he left II a sweet sym
phony OF cereals and cream. He was an
APOSTLE OF predigestion among q dyspcp-
tic people. Under his diet manipulation
the desptsed grain which DR.. johnson said
was food for horses In England and for
mer In Scotland was transformed into a
-gastronomic delight. WIN Edinburg have
