Legislation to Prevent Forest fires

The frequency and seriousness OF
forest fires during the past autumn
prove that the present laws for the
protection OF the forests are made
Quate. We are OF the opinion of that
negligence or inexcusable carelessness is
responsible for the majority of the
fires, not merely in the Adirondack
regions, but also in the fireswept dis
tricts OF Minnesota, Michigan and
Wisconsin. IT this carelessness be
measured by the magnitude of the dis
asters OF which IL is the original cause,
IL takes on surely a strong flavor Of
criminality For IT is no excuse TO
say that the hunter who fails 90 extin-

inflammable forest timber, does so

Our attention has recently been

is strong movement on foot urging
the government TO follow a more detin-

of any fine. The object aimed at by
the. suggested legislation Is. not merely

Another was added to his list Wednesday night, and he is not likely to forget it soon. Munsell, with several companions, sleeps in tent over on State street. Along in the night, while lying on his back, he was awakened with a queer feeling of pres sure on his stomach, Investigating, his hand at once encountered the coils of a snake snugly enconsed on it's warm bed of human flesh. With a shriek Munsell bounded from his cot landed in the middle of the room, and awakened his companions just in time for them to see the snake crawl out through flap in the tent. A search for the reptile followed, but the snake had made it's escape.

STREET STANDS REMOVED.

The appearance of El Centro's busi- ness streets has been improved during the past week by the removal of street stands to private property They are now located inside the prop erty line on the north side of Main street. Another move has been the clearing away of rubbish which has accumulated in the rear of various business houses.
Imperial Valley press., 1908-07-04

El Centro's Ten Thousand Club was organized last Monday night, at din ner in the Palm roof garden, with thirty signatures tc the constitution. Because of an important Masonic meeting. as many more citizens, who had declared their purpose to join the club were unable to be present.
 The objects of the club, as set forth in the constitution, are: To promote the growth of the city of Fl Centro and the interests of Imperial Valley gen. orally by encouraging united action in public affairs and stimulating public spirit and private initiative; to adver tise the valley and the City of Fl Gen. tro; to do all things legitimate toward bringing the population of El Centro up to 10000. Any person may become a member on payment of an entrance fee of one dollar, and the monthly due is one dollar in advance. Women are eligible to membership on an equal footing with men, and the club expects efficient cooperation from the public spirited women of Fl Centro.
 The club will meet once a week at dinner and take up matters of public interest, and it is intended to have the subject of the week explained by speaker especially informed. Business will be transacted at the dinner meet ings.
 Application will be made by the club for membership in the County Cham Der of Commerce, and delegates will be chosen to attend the meetings of that body regularly. Every Tive" per son residing in Fl Centro or any where in the vicinity is expected and urged to join the Ten Thousand Club.
 Purpose of the Club.
 The temporary chairman of the fiji st meeting was Allen Kelly, who ex- plained briefly the purposes of the founders of the club and introduced pr. R. P Shepherd as the principal speaker of the evening. pr. Shepherd spoke of the potent influence in Ameri- can public affairs of voluntary organi- cations and their function as stimuli ants of the civic spirit. In this cOun- ty, which is farming country, he said, the initiative in public affairs would have to be taken by the people of the towns. Farmers are intensely individualistic by the very nature of their calling and cannot be organized for united action. Fortunately the towns of Imperial Valley were free from the petty public selfshness that usually characterized small places, and an organization of active, ener- getic men could accomplish great things for the benefit of all. The Ten Thousand Club could make itself a potent factor in the upbuilding of the community by stimulating individual enterprise and fostering the civic con- science.
 Public Utilities.
 Dr. Shepherd was followed by City Trustee Pellet, who explained the steps taken by the board toward pro- viding Fl Centro with a sewer system adapted to the requirements of city of ten thousand.
