CLOSE OF MELON SEASON.
Total Shipments of Two Thousand
 Cars to Unprofitable Market.

Imperial Valleys cantaloupe ship ping season is drawing to a close, and it is probable that the last carload shipments will be sent out during the first days of the ensuing week. Dur ing the present week Brawley has sent out sixteen carloads. Both associa- tions at Fl Centro have been sending out a carload a day each but it is eX pected that no further shipments will be made after Tuesday, The markets have shown a slightly improved condi- tion, but taken as a whole the situa tion is far from satisfactory. It is esti- mated that the total shipments from the valley for the season will reach 2OOO carloads. A large bulk of canta' loupes has been sent out in small eX- press shipments by individuals throughout the entire season.

FRUIT SHIPPED A LIBEL ON
 CALIFORNIA.
Prospects of Better Prices Ruined by Continued Shipments of UnsaIabIe Cantaloupes-Bad Quality, not Great Quantity, Responsible for the Slump in Eastern Markets.

Distributors of California canta- loupes do not appear to have learned the lesson taught by the disastrous re- suits of their attempts to dump green, withered and decayed stuff on the Eastern market. A dispatch from New York, dater July IS, says:
 While the prospects last week looked very favorable for higher market, the poor quality of arrivals undid all the good and prices declined. While this poor quality continues to come good results cannot be expected and shippers are only injuring them. selves to a great extent Some fruit offered today was libel on the Golden State. Receivers all complain alike that with such quality it is impossible to get results. Now is the critical time for California and to compete successfully with the Southern they must be more careful of quality"

 Judge Wellborn's opinion that the fundamental contract is illegal is rather in line with what l have al ways wondered if it was not the case, and it inclines me to believe that a friendly suit should be begun in the state courts and carried to the State

HUNTERS GETTING BUSY.

The deer season opened July IS and remains open during August and September. Last year the County Clerk of Imperial county issued 520 hunters licenses. These expired on June first of this year; but up until this week not a new gun license had been applied for. Now the hunters are getting busy and several parties of deer-hunters are planning for trips to the mountains. Yesterday the rec ords showed that seventeen gun li- censes have been issued. The num- Der will probably be doubled within the next few days

OCCUPATION TAXES
 TO BE READJUSTED
CITY TRUSTEES VOTE TO AMEND
 THE LICENSE ORDINANCE.
Business Men Point Out Inequalities and ask for Modifications-Stree SprinkIine Resumed by the City and Contract for Care of Streets to be Advertised.

Discussion of the city tax on occu- patton was the principal feature of Tuesday evenings meeting of the Board of City Trustees. A large dele gation of business men attended and participated in the discussion. As the outcome, the City Attorney has been instructed to prepare an amendment to the ordinance which will modify it in several particulars.
 Chief of these notifications will be the reinSertion of a clause, inadVert- ently omitted, which provides that where more than one taxable business is conducted by one person, firm or corporation, a discount of twenty-five per cent shall be made from the com bined sum of all the licenses.
 Other changes to be provided in the proposed amendment include the re- duction of the tax on telephone com panies from $25 to $5 per month; the business of dispensing soft drinks is to be taxed $2 per month and confec- tionery is not to be taxed where the same business concern operates a soda fountain. Cigars, tobacco, sta tionery and confectionery are not to be taxed separately when concern already pays license tax on two or more business.
 A clause is to be inserted in the amended ordinance providing that all businesses not enumerated in the ordl- nance are chargeable with license tax of $2 per month. An addition made to the list will be that of water companies furnishing water to inhabi- tants of El Centro; such companies are to pay tax of $4 per month
 Trustee Hamilton reported the com pletion of contract between himself as a representative of the city and |. N Stephens for the purchase of the northeast quarter of the southwest quarter of section 26, township 15 south range IA east, $. B. M., as a sewage disposal tract After discus sion the matter was laid over until the next meeting.
 An ordinance was adopted making amendments to Ordinance No. ', pro- viding for the collection of city taxes.
 An ordinance prescribing the fire limits was read and discussed, and was referred to the City Attorney. The ordinance proposes to include within the fire limits the territory bounded by the Southern Pacific Railroad and Seventh street, Broadway and State streets.
 Iii response to a petition from the Ten Thousand Club, the trustees con tracted with Fred Lynn to sprinkle the business streets for ten hours daily for $5 per day, until contract for street work can be advertised and let in regular form.
 A petition for an exclusive hotel iiuuor license, which had been filed with the clerk, was withdrawn just before the meeting, it Icing plain to the petitioner that there was not the ghost of chance that the board would stutify itself and defy public opinion by reversing the fixed no-sa- loon policy of the city.

Joseph Grad Plans to
Break 0utot County Jail,
Contides Scheme TO Another
Prisoner, Who Tells Turnkey.
Searched and Club Is Found In
Clothing..-Locked In Cell.

Had it not been for the fact that his
plans were given away to Turnkey
Choate by another prisoner Joseph
Girad, who is confined at the KenneDec
Jail under $1,000 bonds and awaiting
the September term of the superior
court on a charge of assault with in
tent to kill Conductor Albert Wright of
the Maine Central Railroad, might have
made his escape from that institution.
Thursday evening, but owing to the
above cause his plans miscarried and
he is more of Il prisoner than before.
Girad had planned to make his break
for liberty when the tea was passed
in to the prisoners, by sliding by the
turnkey when the door was opened,
anG to help him he was to ask the
turnkey for a sheet of paper and an
envelope, in order that the officer
would have to turn from the door.
All of these details came to the
ears of Turnkey Choate, and when
Girad asked for the paper and envelope
instead of getting them he was locked
up in his cell, and when searched was
found to have club concealed in his
clothing, which he probably intended
to use on the turnkey when the latter
should turn to get the paper from the
desk in the office. Girad is now kept
in close confinement and is allowed
out of his cell only ten minutes at
morning and night for exercise.
