GIFT FUR INSTITUTE :
Mrs. A. 1. Heber Presents Eighty Acre Tract to School For An
 Agricultural Station.

The Imperial Valley Collegiate h. stitute has been given a great uplift the past week, through the generos- ity of Mrs. A. H. Heber in donating to the school valuable tract of land adjoining the townsite of Heber
 The gift includes eighty acres of choice land lying directly northeast of the. townsite, and it is rendered to the school as location for the az ricultural experimental station The gift is vauled at S10,O0O. It is pro- posed to develop instruction in scien- ti1c agriculture as an important fea- ture of the Collegiate Institute. and the requirement of this land places the school in a position to make def ite plans for next seasons work on these lines.
 The school already owns a ten-acre site in Heber, which is to be converted into a campus, and in the midst of which it is hoped building can be erected before the opening of next years work.
 The board of trustees have started campaign to raise a maintainance fund of $100O0O before February of 1910 and the responses received with in the short time the work has been in progress are highly gratifying. With such a sum pledged for SUD- port, the faculty may be enlarged and the school will enter a wide field of usefulness.
 Dr. George Soper, of Pomona, has been visiting the institute, looking ov- CT the situation and the general de- velopment of Imperial Valley He has been called to the presidency of the Institute and may accept this call, in which case he would remove to Heber and devote all his energies to the schools advancement
 The school has completed the first half of it's first years work, and has become an important factor in the educational work of Imperial Valley. Its enrolment shows an attendance from several of the valley towns.
 The Plan Proposed.
 H. w. Moorehouse, secretary of the Imperial Valley Collegiate Institute, writes The Press regarding the plan adopted for securing pledges to the propos& A1OO,OOO fund, as follows:
 Tt is proposed at this time to raise general fund r5f zee ,eG4g1so that .@he school may meet all the der that are made upon it at th1 veSy start It is felt, too, that the first doners should not be allowed to make generous pledges without being assured of the complete success of the insti- tuition.
 Inasmuch as money conditions are not quite back at normal, it is proba- ble that other methods of giving will be more desirable than cash. Land gifts will be easy for the giyers and valuable for the school. The land dOner does not wish to separate a : small tract from his holdings, he may designate certain tract and agree to pay to the institution a fair rental | for it until such time as it is sold, at which time he will pay to the school the proceeds from the sale of the ! designated tract
 "Valuing the land at $100 per acre on the average 1t would take only section and one half to reach the 31O0 000 VnarIy 70
