DEATH OF THOMAS OLIVER
Recent Conner to El centro Expires Sunday Morning From Heart
 Failure.

Thomas Oliver, aged 72 years, died suddenly at his home, the Elder resi- dence. corner of Sixth and Olive streets, about four o'clock on Sunday morning. Heart failure was the cause of his death.
 Mir. and Mrs. Oliver came to El Centro little more than two weeks ago, with the intention of becoming permanent residents here. He had been an invalid for several years and the climatic conditions in Imperial Valley appeared to be beneficial for him. A few days ago he made ar engagements with County Clerk D. s. Elder to purchase his residence, and had taken rooms there until the Elders were ready to vacate.
 For the last three years MT. Oliver had been ill., but his death was so sudden that no one was with him at the time he expired.
 Funeral services were conducted Monday afternoon ky Rev. D. K. Burn ham, pastor of the Methodist Church, and the body will be sent to Los An geles this morning.

 tract No. 26s, James N. ouee, deputy, were prepared and transmitted to the Department on May {, 1908. On June 2, 1908, the plats were returned to this office with instructions to prepare the plats In such a way that any private claim, abandoned since the survey, could be taken up as public land by leoal subdivision, and that all the con tracts tn Imperial Valley must be treated in the same way. These in- struetions necessitate the calculation of fractional areas inside the private claims, as we'll as outside, and involve nearly double the amount of work for each township, as anticipated.
 The lines of the private claims not eolneidlng with the subdivision lines, the calculations of the fractional lots, seemingly being a very simple matter, are in fact quite complex and require considerable more time than Is ordi- narily consumed in the plating of a township, in fact, it requires the pre- paration of two original pIats for each township; one plat showing the sur veys of the subdivision lines and the private claims and school lands, the topography and the fractional areas of the public land; the second plat Supplemental plat) showing only the La s., side the private claims, as we'll as of the public land. 1t would be impossi- ble to combine the two pIats in one.
 The pIats and transcripts of field notes of two of the contracts, covering ten townships will be transmitted to the Department in the early part of November.
 To complete the office work in con nection with the other eleven town ships will, according to an estimate, require the services of the present force engaged in this work until about March 1, 1909.
 The apparent delay in this office in the completion of the Imperial work is caused by the insufficient number of agricultural draftsmen. The appor- toned appropriation for this office pro- vides for only two draftsmen in the agricultural division. These two craftsmen have been diligently en- gagged in the preparation of the re- turns of the Imperial surveys to the exclusion of all other work before the office.
