CHURCH DEDICATION.
Christian Denomination at tioltvile Formally Opens New Structure
 For Public Worship.

One of the prettiest church edifices in the Imperial Valley was formally opened for public worship by the Christian denomination at Holtville last. Three services were held, one at II o'clock one at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and at zoo o'clock in the evening.
 The afternoon meeting was a fel- lowship' service in which Christians of various denominations participated. At the evening service Dr. R. P. Shep- herd and Prof Carol took part in the exercises, and beautiful views were shown by stereoptican as songs were sung.
 The Holtville Christian Church rep resents an outlay of about $3500. The main auditorium and young peoples society room have been arranged so that they can be thrown together in to one for the accommodation of large gatherings.

WOULD WITHDRAW FROM UNION HoltviIe and Other East Side Dis tricts Making Move to Form New
 High School District.

Withdrawal from the Imperial Valley Union High School district is desired by the Holtville school district and other territory on the east side of the valley. Petitions to this effect are now in circulation.
 This action has been hastened it is said, by the proposed issuance of $40,000 in bonds by the union high school district for the purpose of erec- ting a permanent school building. At present one of the Imperial grammar school buildings is used for the high school.
 The Holtville district seeks to withdraw from the union before these bonds are voted, so that it will not be liable for any portion of the debt.
 It is quite likely that as soon as this withdrawal is effected steps will be taken to form a new union high school district to take in east side territory and to locate school at Holtville for next year

FRANK DANISH IN THE EAST.
Former Chief of Camp Thespia App plauds El Centro's Tree-pIanting
 Project.

Frank Damsel, the actor-manager who formally opened the Holt Opera House last winter and then located near El Centro with a part of his company and became a grower of cantaloupes at Camp Thespia, is now playing an engagement in Brooklyn Mrs. Damsel being a member of the same company.
 Damsel and his people succeeded in growing melons as well as any old farmers, but they shared in the gen eral failure of marketing and had on ly experience and better health to show for their unique adventure on the Desert. But Damsel has no grouch against Imperial Valley on that ac- count. In a recent letter to friend in El Centro he wrote:
 Tt is indeed marvellous to consid- CT the rapid strides El Centro has made since I first visited the town Doubtless many new Improvements have been made since l was there l am pleased to know that the citi zens are at last awake to the all-im. portant fact that tree-planting will help build up the town more than any thing else. A visitor, after riding for hours through barren wastes, looks for an oasis in the desert when he reaches a habitation. My first i'm pression of El Centro wa far from hattering. I sincerely hopk the good citizens will see the good of shade

FEBRUARY RACE MEET.
caIexico's Park Association Planning for Interesting Sporting Events
 on New Track in Early Spring

A race meet to occur about the mid dle of February is the latest plan for the Imperial Valley Agricultural Park Association at CaleXico.
 This organization is taking active steps towards securing an eighty-acre tract of land near Calexico for race tracks and permanent buildings. A committee consisting of Edward Dool, Sidney McHarg and l.. A. Potter has been placed in charge of this work.
 It is believed that the land can be secured and that track can be con- pleted in time for a race meet about the middle of February. The entire board of directors is to form the pro- gram committee, and it is probable that display of stock and valley pro- ducts will be combined with good racing program.

Good Cough Medicine for Children.

Good Cough Medicine for Children.
 The season for coughs and colds is now at hand and too much care can not be used to protect the children. A child is much more likely to con tract diphtheria or scarlet fever when he has a cold.
