DESERT GUIDE POSTS
Asked to Take Advantage
 Of State Aid in Marking Roads

State Mineralogist l.. E. Aubury, who has been indefatigable in efforts to arouse officials of the desert coun- ties to activity in the matter of put ting up guide posts and protecting water holes. has addressed to the su- pervisors of Imperial County, the fol lowing letter:
 Gentlemen:
 In 1905, thA State made provision for the manufacture of guide posts to be erected in the desert sections of California. The appropriation made was S5.000. Of this sum, about $2300 has been expended and there still re- mains balance which can be used to supply any posts for which the Super visors of Imperial County might ap- ply.
 took up this matter with the Board of Supervisors of San Diego County in 1905 and 1906, and asked them to erect the necessary posts, but they stated that they had already erected what they considered a sufficient num- Der, but which had been done at their own expense. As I have reason to believe that q number of these posts could be erected to advantage in Inn perial County, I would ask that you kindly give this matter consideration The State furnishes the posts free of charge and all that is asked of the Supervisors is that they shall see that the guide arms of the posts are prop erly perforated with the information to be conveyed, and shall stand the expense of erected the posts at the proper points.
 If you desire to obtain further in- formation regarding this subject, would suggest that you correspond with Hon. N. Ellery, State Engineer, 10 whose department the distribution of the posts has been assigned.
 Yours very truly L. E. AUBURY.
 MT Aubury writes to the editor of the Press:
 'I hope the that Board of Super yisors of your county will show more activity than did the Board of Super ylsors of San Diego County. Now is a good time for the erection of the posts, and I hope the Supervisors will get busy"

SCHOOL BONDS SOLD
County Treasurer Finds Imperial Val ley Securities in Demand Among
 lnVestors-FiVe Bidders.

School bonds of Imperial Valley dis tricts, bearing six per cent interest, appear to be attractive to investors. This week County Treasurer Paul Bo- man has sold two lots of school bonds, for which there were five bidders. As an indication of the better conditions prevailing in financial circles, the fact is cited that several weeks ago a bond issue of the Imperial school district, bearing seven per cent interest called forth only one bid, whereas the bonds offered for this week bearing only six per cent interest. were sought by five bidders.
 The Heber school districts issue of S5000 sold to Mary K. D. Smith, of interest and a premium of s100.50. The Valley State Bank bid for these bonds par, accrued interest and a premium of sgS.
 The Calexico school district offered bond isue of $6,O0O and this was sold to the William R. Staats Com pany, of Los Angeles, for par, accrued interest and q premium of $327.50. Other bidders for this issue were the Bradshaw Realty Company of Imper- ial, for the COfiiR & Crawford Com pany. who offered premium of $40.20 and the Valley State Bank, offering a premium of S1O0: and Barrell 6 Com pany offering premium of $257.
 The issue of S4O.000 voted by the Imperial Valley Union High School district, will soon be offered for sale.
