MISSING TRAVELLERS.
Have Not Emerged From the Desert.

The Sheriff's officers are trying to learn the whereabouts of three men, who left El Centro on November IA to drive two rigs to Yuma and have failed to turn up at the other end of the route, G. w. Sells, of Laguna, is much worried, one of the men being his brother and another his nephew. The third man is Louis Boles,
 Sells wrote to the Sheriff that he feared disaster of some sort had over taken the party, and asked that an effort be made to locate the outfit. It has been ascertained that the travel lers reached Mammoth and left that place, all right, and the officers think their horses may have become worn out and that they are resting up some where along the route, or that possi bly they turned northward to Pale Verde or sQmss other point on the river above Yumaa m.

BORDER CITYS AMBITION
Organizes Association to Hold Fairs
 For All Imperial County.

Citizens of CaleXico met Monday evening and organized the Imperial Valley Agricultural Park Association, electing a full complement of officers and directors.
 The officers of the association are:
 President, H. T. Cory, general man. ager of the California Development Company. Mir. Cory cohsented to act as president until the first annual election of officers, which will be some time the first of the year.
 Vice-President, Walter K. Bowker, superintendent of the California -Mexi- co Land and Cattle Company's ranch near Calexico, and one of the best in formed stock men in the county.
 Secretary Otis B. Tout, editor of the Calexico Chronicle.
 Treasurer, J. A. Morrison, cashier of the First State Bank.
 Directors-Sidney McHarg, L. A. Potter, Fritz Kloke, Edward Dool, J. F. Giles, H. T. Cory and w. K. Bow ker.
 The plans of the association in clude the purchase or lease of a fifty acre tract of land close to town and the erection of suitable buildings, stock yards, pens and stables, pavil- ions and grand stands for the accom- modation of the best and most exten- sive fair or agricultural exhibit that Imperial county can get together for ten years to come.
 The large acreage is to accommo- date mile race track, which will be one of the features of the winter sports planned for the Imperial Val ley.
 In addition to handling fair pro- positions and meets of various kinds, the association will doubtless father the other branches of sports, such as baseball, tennis and golf, and will en- deavor to fill the need of a public play ground.
 The association will incorporate inn mediately with a sufficient capital stock to make everything undertaken first class in every particular. The board of directors was so empowered at the initial meeting Monday even- ing, and articles of incorporation will be prepared by attorneys immediately.
 The association already has a very good offer of land from the Imperial Valley Improvement Company. The grounds will be selected and put into shape at once. The athletic park of the grounds will probably be in shape for the irish of the present series of ball games.

Dangerous Attack on Power of Courts.
 This provision in the platform of 1896 was regarded then as a most dangerous attack upon the power of the courts to enforce their orders and decrees, and it was one of the chief reasons for the de- feat of the democrats in that contest as it ought to have been. The extended op eration of such a provision to weaken the power of the courts in the enforcement of its lawful orders can hardly be over stated.
