WILL SET OLIVE GROVE
 IN IMPERIAL VALLEY
Owner Of Large Conserving Works Be- ieves This Land Will Become World Famous for This De-
 licious Table Relish.

Big things are predicted for Imper- ial Valley as an olive-raising district by c. M. Clifford, owner of large olive works at San Diego. MT. Clifford has been giving the valley personal study for several months, and has visited ev. cry section of the cultivated territory. He is an expert olive grower and hand Ter, and his opinion is worth having.
 Within the next few years, says Mir. Clifford, Imperial Valley will take it's place as one of the greatest olive producing sections of the entire coun- try"
 He is showing his faith by his works and has plans made for setting our 2000 young olive trees in this valley early next spring. Ten acres of land will be planted as the initial work; but eventually it is MT. Gifford's in- tention to set out a grove of at least 160 acres, which will require about 32,O0O trees.
 The land on which this planting is to be made is located about seven miles east of Brawley. MT. Clifford has selected this as an especially fav- orable spot. yet it is his belief that the entire valley will produce good olives.
 The trees will require some time to come into bearing, but from growths already made here MT. Clifford is con fident of success, and declares that if the experiment justifies his expecta- tions he will establish an olive pack ing plant in the Imperial Valley.
 If the Clifford experiments meet with success, several other extensive olive growers of San Diego county are ready to come to Imperial Valley and plant large groves.

A PULL ALL TOGETHER.

The county seat war in Imperial county is at an end. The Imperial people have given up the fight against El Centro and the case brought to determine the legality of the election that located the county seat there has been dismissed. Now that this factor of disturbance and ill feeling has been removed the entire county ought to pull together for the upbuilding of Imperial county as whole. There is room enough in that great empire for half dozen large and prosperous towns and they will no doubt be de- veloped on their business merits re- gardless of where the county seat is.- Riverside Daily Press.

MAY GET DOLLAR RATE

During the recent visit of w. F. Holt to Imperial Valley, he had con ference with the Chamber of Com merce at Holtville on various mat ters pertaining to the advancement of that town, and principal among these was the request of Holtville citizens that lower rate for passengers be made on the Holton Interurban rail road. MT. Holt agreed to take the matter under consideration and to remedy the existing condition by mak- ing a rate of one dollar for the round trip between Holtville and Ell Centro if possible.

Thursdays Record Shows Seven An nuaI and Three Final Statements

WINTER BUILDING
 AT COUNTY SEAT Several Large Brick Blocks to be Built on Fl Centro's
 Main Street

Three modern twO-story brick blocks on Main street will be the out come of work to be started within the ensuing week. Tw0p hundred feet of new business frontage, giving six fine business rooms, one large public hall and numerous sets of office rooms will be added at once to the business cen ter of Ell Centro, representing an out lay of fully $4O,0OO
 Excavation is to begin this week on the new building to be erected by Dr.. J. c. Blackinton adjoining on the east his present two-story building on the south side of Main street about mid way between Fourth and Fifth streets. The building will be of valley brick with the first floor divided into store rooms, each 25x100, and the second floor will be arranged for public hall.
 Immediately to the east of this building, w. T. Bill of Redlands will proceed at once with the erection of two-story building, 5Ox1OO feet, with two store rooms on the ground floor and suites of office rooms above.
 Adjoining the present Blackinton building on the west, c. E. Taylor of Redlands will start immediate con struction on two-story block, with two store rooms below and offices and living apartments on the second floor.
 All of this work is to be carried on at one time, and work on the three structures is to be advanced as rapid ly as possible, to make room for the demand of waiting tenants.
 Each building is to have modern business fronts with plate glass and attractive window spaces. This will give continuous business frontage of 200 feet in the center of the block and indications point to still further development.
 It appears that El Centro's winter building season will surpass even that of last season, and that the business section is to keep fully abreast with the expansion in the residence dis trict.

 TAX REFUND Nearly 0ne-third Personal Property Tax to be Re- turned to Taxpayers of Imperial
 County

County Auditor MccIeIland on Wednesday evening compIetetd the calculations on the amount of personal property tax to be refunded to the tax payers of Imperial County.
 The sum of $s4,23o is the total amount collected on personal property and possessory rights ln this county. Of this sum, $2a 696 is to be refunded,A because of the lower rate fixed for this years levy. This Is a reduction of 30 and four tenths per cent on the total amount collected.
 Each tax payer who has paid in excess of this years levy may present his tax receipt to the County Auditor, who will O. K. the amount to be refunded, and the refund will then be paid by the County Treasurer.
 For two weeks the force in the County Auditors office has been engaged in completing the tax rolls and the table of refund.
 Payment of county taxes has been very slow, so far, but this is not an unusual condition, as the rush to pay the tribute levied by the county does not come on until the middle of Novem ber. The personal property coIlec- tions, however, which were made by the County Assessor at the time of his compilation of the assessment roll, are said to be larger than that of any other county in California.

El Centro school district, 25,201; Brawley school district $25,452.5O; Jasper school district, $3,005.
 These are the amounts which the three districts mentioned above will net from their recently authorized is- sue of school bonds. Bids were open ed after o'clock Saturday evening by County Treasurer Paul Roman, at the Court House, in the presence of number of interested spectators.
 On the El Centro school bond issue of $25, ,00O, the Bradshaw Realty Com pany of Imperial, acting for the Coffin & Crawford bond buying company of Chicago, bid premium of $196.2O; the Valley State Bank, of Ell Centro, bid par, accrued interest and a prem ium of 4150, while the N. W. Halsey Company's offer was a premium of $201.
 The Jasper school district bonds of $3000 had only Che tidder, the St4te, made through Byroa B. Deming, sec retary of the State Board of Examin- CTS, and who was present at the open ing of the bids. This offer was par and premium of $5.
 The Brawley school district issue of $25,OOO bonds received from the State an offer of par and a premium of $452.50; while the Coffin & Craw- ford Company offered premium of $12.50.
 The N. w. Halsey Company was represented here by Alfred T. Brock, who called attention to the fact that while El Centro's issue of the same amount of bonds as that of Brawley did not bring as large premium, yet this city would eventually receive a return which doubtless would more than offset the difference. He ex- plained that his firm is buying these bonds to sell to eastern purchasers in parcels, and that as a necessary step to such sale, the firm will send out large amount of Fl Centro and Imper- ial Valley literature, to show pros pective purchasers the advantage of making investments of El Centro se- curities, where as the State had no such incentive, and merely places the Brawley bonds in it's treasury to draw interest.
 The sale of these three sets of bonds assures a large increase in school facilities for the districts in- terested. Immediately steps will be taken to erect large grammar school buildings in Fl Centro and Brawley. while Jasper will lerect suitable building for a country district.
 The Bradshaw Realty Company, for the Coffin & Crawford concern, has purchased from the First State Bank of Calexico the recent issue of $10,- 900 bonds made by the Calexico school district. It will be noted that the bid of this local firm was within $5 of being the same on the El CentrO school bonds as the one which re- ceived the award.
 Secretary Deming said last night that probably the State would buy El Centro's $4O,OOO sewer bonds, the in terest on that issue being rather low to attract at this time purchasers of securities for investment.

Los Angeles Will Build Mills to Manufacture Valley :.
 Product,
Site For Factory Secured at Whining ton-Texans Preparing to Plant Many Acres Near El centro This Season - Government Bureau May Establish Station Here.

Imperial Valley, as the coming cot ton country, is beginning to attract the attention of capitalists. It is pos sible that within the ensuing twelve months cotton grown in this valley will be made into fabrics and con verted into merchantable goods in Southern California.
 The Los Angeles Cotton Mills Com pany, which has $150,000 subscribed for the purpose of erecting cotton mills on San Pedro bay, has definite plans made to go forward with it's pro- 1ect A tract of forty acres has been secured through the Imperial Invest ment Company and the Los Angeles Harbor Railroad Company, on the bay at Wilmington, as a site for the new cotton concern and it's auxiliary estab- lishments. Ten acres are to be set aside for the cotton mills site.
 The head of the Cotton Mills Com pany is MT. Howarth, capitalist of New England, where he has in opera tion several large industrial concerns.
 Mr. Howarth has sent to Imperial Valley for accurate data on the pro- posed planting of cotton here on a commercial scale. In his manufac- tured products he uses in the East a very large amount of Egyptian cotton annually, and he believes that this cotton should be raised in Imperial Valley, where it would find a ready home market at the Los Angeles or Wilmington mills. It is the purpose of the company to manufacture cot ton goods for Coast trade, and for ex- port
 H. C. Oakley was in Fl Centro Mon day, gathering all the available in formation as to the forthcoming cot ton crop, in order that he might give MT. Howarth the statistics desired.
 Texas Experts Coming.
 B. J. Lange, Jr proprietor of the Lange Soap and Cotton Oil Company, of San Antonio, Texas, who has been spending the past few months in Ell Centro and vicinity, leaves on We'd nesday for his Texas home, to make arrangements for bringing to Imperial Valley cotton seed and expert cotton raisers to work on lands near this city.
 MT. Lange will plant 100 acres of Texas cotton on a ranch two and a half miles east of El Centro and he hopes to bring back another expert grower to put in an eighty-acre tract adjoining this land. He will be ab- sent two weeks, and will bring back seed for the spring planting, and has hopes of materially increasing the Texas colony in Imperial Valley through his representations of the ad- vantages to be obtained here in cot ton culture.
 B. T. Galloway, Chief of the Bureau of Plant Industry, at Washington, D. C., has written to the secretary of the Fl Centro Ten Thousand Club, stating that the matter of El Centro lands for government experimental work has been receiving his attention, and saying:
 we are planning an extension of some of our cotton work and 1t may be we shall want to use land in the vicinity of El Centro for Investigations which we have in mind. have in structed MT. Schofield and Prof. Mas on to keep you informed regarding the development of matters here in the future"
