water stock has been proposed to Wa ter Company No. 9. Stock to be sold at S25 share, and S1O retained by the district to pay for building a dis tributing system. Some of the land owners in No. say they can build their system at a cost of S5 an acre, and then compel the c. D. Co. to de- liver water at rate fixed by the Su- pervisors, and they object to paying the c. D. Co. bonus of $15 an acre.
 The whole question of rates and wa ter stock is likely to be opened for de- bate, and possibly to litigation, when the Supervisors take up the petition of taxpayers demanding that they es- tablish rates.

BRICK WORK COMPLETED.

The brickmasons complete their work today on the three-story hotel block being erected by Helms & Pel- let, and the carpenters will have the place roofed by Wednesday of next week. This building has broken the record for rapid construction and it also has the record of not a single workman even having received a minor hurt during it's progress. Electri- clans are now wiring the interior, and each room is to have electric bells and telephone service. Next week the in terior will be in readiness for the plasterers.

A careful survey of the fields con trolled by the El Centro Fancy Melon Growers Association, made during the past three days, shows a higher per centage of good results than has been anticipated. In the El Centro district this association had planted 1260 acres acres of cantaloupes, and this weeks estimates show that of these there are 1004 acres of good melons, and large percentage are extra fine.
 Tn the Heber neighborhood ranchers affiliated with the Crutchheld & Wool folk Company planted 1060 acres of cantaloupes, and of this planting H.. .B. Pearson estimated yesterday that fully 921 acres would produce a good crop, while of the $40 acres planted for this conpany's handling at Calex- leo, he estimated that there would be 3S5 acres of good melons, and some of these are in extra prime condition.
 Of the 154 acres planted at Melo- land, eighty-four acres made a fine showing on inspection during the past week.

From 500 to 75O college boys and students from the various polytechnic and high schools of the larger coast towns of Southern California will be in the vicinity of El Centro as melon pickers this season.
 The first party of these ambitious boys arrived this week. There are seven of them, from the Los Angeles Polytechnic High School-sent down as "samples'-and they seem to be about the right sort. These lads have been sent out to the Shepherd ranch and they will be followed by others as the demand for field labor in creases, until by June it is estimated that fully 200 of them will be at work in the cantaloupe fields from which shipments are made by the Crutch field & Woolfolk Company.
 From the first week in June until the height of the season they are to come in punches of from fifty to one hundred, and it is expected that they will find steady employment in this vicinity until July 15.
 The employment of college boys as melon pickers is new wrinkle for Imperial Valley, but managers of the cantaloupe moving industry believe they have struck a satisfactory solu- ton of the labor problem, and that they will get better class of helpers than could be furnished through the ordinary employment agencies. Through the activities of H. B. Pear son and E. J. Phelen, the move to se- cure college boys was started, and the idea was taken up with enthusiasm in every school where it was presented.
 Most of these boys will come from the University of Southern California, Occidental College and the Los An geles Polytechnic High School. They will bring with them their camp out fits, and designate certain ones among their number to act as chiefs of the

PRODUCE AND STORAGE co.
Farmer May Store Crop and Use Warehouse Receipts-Cold Storage for Perishable Products-Strong Or ganization Will Soon be Ready for Business.

The Imperial Valley Produce & Storage Company is the name of corporation just organized in El Cen tro to conduct business of great i'm portance to all industrial interests and particularly to the farmers of this sec ton. What the producer of staples needs is warehouse accommodation, and the company proposes to build close to the railroad a warehouse for the storage of grain, feed, four, root crops, etc., and' cold storage plant for perishable products.
 The company's charter will permit it to engage in all collateral lines of business, and it will be wholesale dealer in all that the farmer has to sell and all that he uses, and will act also as commission broker in the mar keting of products. The farmer may store his grain and other unperishable crops, and take warehouse receipts which are negotiable at bank and as good as cash, the warehouse being li- censed and subject to the laws of the state and to supervision.
 The company will deal in seed and will employ an expert to ascertain the needs of farmers and to aid them in the selection of seed of all sorts, in order that only the best varieties shall be planted and the quality of valley products maintained at the highest possible standard.
 Fifty thousand dollars is the capi- talization of the concern, and more than half of the stock has been sub scribed and paid for in cash at par. No stock is offered to the public. The incorporators and directo are w. r. Holt, c. E. Galloway, Geo. A. Carter. R. P. Shepherd and -
 Work on construction of large warehouse near the railroad depot will begin immediately, and the entire plant will be ready for business in time to handle fall crops. This enter prise establishes the commercial centre of the valley finally and firmly at the county seat

If the religious and philosophical lectures given every Sunday in the Holt Opera House at El Centro were delivered in Los Angeles, the Temple Auditorium would be too small to hold the congregation of listeners. And that is typical of this remarkable com munity of desert pioneers in Imperial Valley. Among these frontiersmen of the twentieth century are men who have been leaders in thought and ac- tion in the older communities and in the great centers of American civili. zation, and here on the southwest border they are establishing a bett0r higher, cleaner, saner and truer civil ization than that from which they came. They have brought with them all that is best of the Old, and are planting it in a cleaner soil.
 It is taken by these desert people as a matter of course that men of the highest attainments and broadest Cul ture should be with and cr them, anu it is not remarkable to them that a man of Dr. R. P. Shepherds calibTe should be the pastor of one of the,r churches and talk to them every Sun day. Perhaps there is little too much of the matter of course and not quite enough appreciation of the great CT and better opportunity for intellec. tual enjoyment open to this commun -ity than many large cities are able to command.
 As was said in the opening sentence. a preacher like Dr. Shepherd would speak to crowded houses in any large qity. His discourses would be printed in full in the newspapers, and his fame would be national-if he talk ed as he talks to a little group of hear CTS in Fl Centro. He is no common place preacher of sermons, no spinner of theological webs, no soporific dron- CT of hackneyed essays on the sinful ness of sin and the total depravity of human nature. Nor is he of the mounteback breed that turns the pull pit into a vaudeville stage and tickles the ears of groundlings with ragtime religiosity.
 Dr. Shepherd is a doctor of phiIoso- phy of Columbia University, and his Sunday discourses are lectures on the history and philosophy of religion and life-offhand talks of broad scope and

"THE REMUNERATION
OF AUNT MARY

Fresh from the triumph at the Stu
dlebaker theater Chicago, May Rob-
son, the foremost character actress
in America, will be seen at the Park
opera house on September 5, in the
new American comedy, THE Reju-
venaticl of Aunt Mary" by Anne
Warner. In dramatizing her own
novel (Which has made Miss Warner
famous) she has left out none of the
comedy found in that popular book,
but has added more, and in the role
of Aunt Mary, which Miss Robson
plays, she has given the theaterSoing
public "a character absolutely unique
and original. l.. S. Sire. under whose
management Miss Robson is starring,
has surrounded her with a strong
company. In the staging of the pro-
duction nothing has been overlooked
by Mr.. Sire, and under the skillful
handling of e. F. BostwiclI. 1.-The
Regeneration of Aunt Mary" will be
found to be one of the best comedies
ever offered to theatergo'rg public
here.
