GROVE OF plsrAcHro TREES

J. A. weist, whose ranch is located about ten miles east of Brawley, has planted five acres to the pistachio nut tree, and they are making a good growth. It is believed that this tree will prove a profitable one for Tmper- ial Valley, as the nuts command high price and can be raised only in a limited territory. The Government ex- perimental station at Indio has been investigating the merits of these trees, and has a bed of them under propaga- tion there Mir. Weist has also set out 700 date trees on his ranch, and next spring will devote 160 acres to date palm culture as he has great faith in date raising developing into one of the best paying enterprises of this valley.

SEWER WORK TO BEGIN SOON
City Trustees of EI centro Are Ad- vertislno Bond Issue For Sale and Plan Award of
 Contract.

Actual work on the construction of complete sewer system for El Cen tro will be in progress before the close of the present year, if present plans mature. Every effort will be made by the City Trustees to forward this en- terprise, so that the new $40,000 sew craze system may be ready for use some time during the spring of 1909.
 The sale of the recently voted bond issue is being advertised. Bids for these bonds are to be opened on De oember &, at the office of the City Clerk, and a plan is now maturing to advertise the time for awarding the contract for constructing the system on December 10. Action on this plan may be taken at the next meeting of the City Trustees.
 The sewer bonds are to be in the denomination of one thousand dollars each, forty in number, and to bear interest at the rate of five per cent, payable semi-annually. It is believed that several of the large bond-buying houses of the Pacific Coast will be bidders for this issue.

SAFEGUARDING COUNTIES GOLD.

County Treasurer Paul Roman is complying with the instructions of the Board of Supervisors ill having constructed a concrete vault in the treasurer'S office, wherein will be kept the tithes gathered from the taxpay- CTS. This vault is to be eight feet high and eight square inside dimen- sions, it's walls are to be six inches thick, with an air space between them and the surrounding terra cotta walls of the building. A new steel door has been ordered in place of the one sent which was too small to admit the county's manganese steel safe.
 The vault is to be lined and equipped with the most modern and efficient electric protective system known, con sisting of the Herring -Hall-Marvin Safe COmpany's new patent dericess which are acknowledged to be far in advance of any systems of this character here tofore placed upon the market.
 This company, through their south western branch, the StrObel-LOuis Safe & Vault Company, at Los Angeles, have also been awarded the contract for the new steel vestibule and door, the same to be protected through out by the electric device, precluding the possibility of entering the vault at any time, excepting during the regular business hours when open, and at such times the system provides for day alarms, to be effective in case of day light hold-ups.
 The Board of Supervisors of Imper- ial County are to be congratulated up on being the first in this section of the country to install this most mod en of all electric protective systems, thereby indicating their intention to fully protect their constituents inter ests.

WHEAT CLOSES FIRM,
WITH NARROW MARKET
Prices Throughout Final Ses'
sion of Week Vary Only Half
Cent on All Deliveries.

CHICAGO; Oct. 24.-The wheat market
was an extremely narrow affair. both in
regard to the amount OF business trans
acted and in the range OF prices. Through
out the entire day the price OF all deliV-
cries held within half-cent range. Al
though the market closed steady, sentl-
ment during the greater part OF tho ses-
sion was bearish. owing chiefly to the
weather conditions which prevailed in the
West and Southwest The weather ou-
reau reported rain over the entire win
ter wheat belt, and the predictions were
for continued wet weather In many sec
tons.
News from Argentina also was moro
optimistic. several dispatches claiming
that the damage 10 the new crop by frosts
would he only slight. Prospects OF fur
ther liberal increase in tho visible supply
of wheat In the United States and Can
ada for the week furnished an additional
motive TO sellers, The principal bulilsh
influence OF the day was a continued eN-
port demand for flour at Minneapolis.
where 100 barrels. it was claimed, were
sold yesterday. Cash wheat was steady

business was reported, The seaboards
also report no sales for export.

were also plentiful, and sold at 15
cents n quart.
Beets arc beginning to come in
moderately freely, and within the week
the market will be well supplied. Cab
