COUNTY PROMOTION
Plans for Advertising the Valley Dis cussed by County Chamber of
 Commerce.

The Imperial Valley Chamber of Commerce met in Fl Centro Wednea- day forenoon, with all of the valley towns represented. One of the first moves to be undertaken is the issuing of county business directory. This will not only give the county much needed publication, but will provide the necessary funds for promotion work. A fine display of valley pro- ducts is to be placed in the Los An geles Chamber of Commerce, and a portion of these may be sent to the State Fair at Sacramento in August, and later to the exposition at Seattle.
 By unanimous vote it was decided to request the county Board of Su- pervisors to make an appropriation, if possible, to help forward this work, and to include in the coming tax levy a levy for immigration and exposition purposes.

El Centro is to take the lead in the Imperial Valley in an attempt to secure artesian water Within the en- suing week a drill will be in operation, almost in the heart of the business dis trict, and it is to be kept going until water is struck or thorough demon stration is made that this cannot be accomplished.
 Plans for this drilling include bor- ing to the depth of 5000 feet, if neces- sary. It is believed, however, that a test hole sunk to the depth of 1500 feet will be sufficient to secure the desired water supply.
 A group of men interested in the de- velopment of the city has undertaken this work and liberal donations for this purpose have been made by w. F. Holt, W. T. Bill, A. B. Helms and V. E. Stockwell They will devote $500 to this test, and may double that sum if it seems desirable.
 A contract has been made with the Coachella Valley Development Com pany, a firm which has carried on eX- tensive well-drilling operations in the Coachella Valley and which also was successful in striking a fine supply of water at Bataques, on the line of the Inter-California Railroad in Lower Cal ifornia. This firm will move it's drill ing machinery to Fl Centro today, and will be in readiness to begin work on the new test hole by Tuesday.
 Two lots at the corner of Fifth street and Commercial street have been selected as the site for this eX- pertinent. If water is struck, a twelve inch well will be put down.
 The men directly interested in this enterprise are greatly encouraged by the finding of fine flow of pure soft water at BataQues. While a greater depth would have to be reached at El Centro, they feel reasonably certain that this same body of water may be struck, and they also hope to pene trate to a saturated plane similar to that which forms the artesian supply at the northern end of the Salton Sea
 Should the hopes of sweet water be dispelled by the striking of a subter. ranean stream of salt water, then the well will be sunk and large natator- ium will be erected to make use of these waters.

New Market For Montana Wool

1t is announced that Montana wool
growers will meet in Helena on Mo-
vember l6 to confer with officers OF
the National Wool Growers assooia.
ton to consider the matter of Coop
er Grating in the establishment of a wool
storage warehouse and wool market
at Chicago, in conformity with the re-
port of the special committee of the
n ational association.
Announcement of this plan was re-
ceived by Lewis Penwell of Helena,
treasurer of the National association,
from Secretary G.. S Walker of
Cheyenne, Wyo. Some idea of the
scope of the plan is given by this ex.
tract from Mr.. Walkers letter.
A warehouse and selling company
is being organized among the growers,
who will hold 67 per cent of the stock
and Chicago merchants, who will hold
30 per cent. The plan involves the
building of & large warehouse in the
stocky ards district, and the concen.
tration of not less than 25 million
pounds of wool for a term of three
years. Men experienced in all
branches of the business will be Sc.
cured, and the wool will be stored,
handled and sold at q price much
lower than the cost to growers under
present methods. The wool will be
under the control of the growers until
1t passes to the There are
many other features Of the plan which
will commend it to growers. Further
details will be given at the Helena
meeting.

Montana Grain In Demard.
Butte Inter


Northern Pacific railway officials
are authority for the statement that
the movement of grain from the oorth-
west this fall clearly indicates that the
large cereal factories of the east
prefer the grains raised in Montana,
and particularly the oats, to that
grown in any other section Of the
United States.
Montana will be represented on
every breakfast table in the country if
the grain production of the state keeps
on increasing as it has during the
past year or two," said a railroad
man today. THE grain movement in
Montana east right now is greater
than it has ever been in the history of
the state, it is to the cereal factories
of the east that the major portion Of
the grain is going.
"This is particularly true of the oats.
The quality of the Montana oats seems
to be just what the cereal men want
and cannot get any place except in
this state. When you get hold of an
especially good bowl of oatmeal for
your breakfast, you can bank on it
tina; it was grown on Montana fields"
