The Mandan Knights were there
with the glad hand, and q few mo

work to do, and soon the gavel fell,
and the boys turned to their task,
so replete with mystery and awe.

After the work the boys were in

sumptuous lunch was in readiness.
Past Chancellor Healy will have to
look to,his laurels If the Mhndan cof-
fee maker. ever comes over to Bis
marck. After the grooming tables
were, relieved of their burden the
genial chancellor commander, Cap
tain J. M. Hanley, acting in the ca
pacity of postmaster, called upon
one after another, of the assembled
Knights and wit and eloquence reign
ed supreme. Not only the visitors ad-
ded to the evenings entertainment,
but also some of the Mandan boys
were called upon. These vainly en-
deavored to wrest Captain Belk's de-
servedly-won laurels from him, and
although the captain was unable to
be present to defend himself, he real
ly needed no defender; but still re-
mains the peer of story-tellers among
the lodges on the Missouri Slope.
But the wee, sma' hours were fast
approaching, and at last the toast
master called for a song, which re-
quest was heartily granted, and to the
happy strains of a goodnight melody
the convention dispersed, full of good
lunch, good fellowship, and good
cheer. Nothing remained but the
sleepy, homeward ride behind a
wheeling little engine, and jolting,
smoky car. But the agony was soon
over, and a group of tired Knights
struggled to their . respective homes,
all save one, who, ere he sought his
trundle bed, was obliged to lead a
much bedraggled and badly dilapida-
ted goat to his own little stall.
1t speaks well for st. Elmo Lodge
that so many made the trip, all of
the officers being present save one.
Had their been no theatrical attrac-
ton the crowd would have been al
most double the size. The st. Elmo
Third Rank team is fast attaining an
enviable reputation throughout the
state for the: excellence Of its work,
and the trip of Tuesday night is mere
ly preliminary to other trips wherein
they will confer this mysterious de-
gree.

Corps of Twenty Men Working on Addition to Ice Pant-Other Industries Shaping Them
 selves at Ei centro.

El Centro's industrial district these days presents lively appearance. Aside from the regular activities, which call for the employment of many persons the district is engaging the labors of twenty men at the addi- ton to the Holton Power Company's' ice plant; while at the site of the Simons Brick Company and the Inn perial Valley Alfalfa Meal Milling Company numerous men are engaged in erecting buildings
 Laying the massive foundations for the ice plant addition is now in prog ress. This foundation is of reinforc ed concrete. Steel pipes are used for the reinforcement. The founda- tion lies four feet broad at it's base, and is four feet below the surface of the ground It will support a brick wall thirty-five feet in height.
 The addition to the ice plant will make this building much more con- spicuous ~than heretofore. as it eX- tends towards the Southern Pacific railroad, and it's general dimensions are S6X130.6. The room now con- taining the ice making machines will be extended to the front of the ad- dition, and the new section will con tain three cold storage rooms. The floors, side walls and ceilings will be insulated with layers of cinders and silicate.
 A force of men is engaged at the Holton Power Company's storage yards in painting the pipes to be used in distributing gas for the I'm perial Valley Gas Company. Pipe laying will begin next week. Much of the pipe has been distributed along the alleys here, and large lot is at Imperial ready for distribution.
 At the site of the Imperial Valley Alfalfa Meal Milling Company, con- tractor J. l.. Travers has completed the main storage shed and is having the foundations laid for the main building to house the machinery. Pens are being built, and loading shed has been started.
 The Simons Brick Company has made good progress on it's plant dur ing the past week. Its entire equip ment of machinery will soon be here and within a month it will be ready to turn out it's first products from the Fl Centro plant.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC WINS
Railroad Takes Over the Irrigation System by Judgment in Fore closure of Claim Against
 c. D. Company.

The Southern Pacific Company was awarded judgment for S1 ,4O5. .297 .43- the full amount asked for-by Judge Houser of the Superior. Court of Los Angeles county on November 12, upon it's foreclosure suit against the Cali fornia Development Company.
 Suit was brought on a number of promissory notes given to the railroad corporation by the officers of the de- velopment company, with the approval of it's directors. It was alleged that the money thus obtained was used in stemming the flood when the Colorado River inundated a portion of the Im- perial Valley.
 Inasmuch as the defendant did not deny it's indebtedness, there was little controversy, except along the lines in- troduced by the intervenors. The intervenors were R. T. Perry, c. R. Rockwood, H. W. Blaisdell, Ed win C. Blaisdell Alice B. Blaisdell, w. T. Heffernan, H. Hare, Alice M. Heber H. F. Moves and B. H. Redwood. The complaint in intervention alleged that the Southern Pacific had a special reason for helping the development company with funds as it's tracks along the Salton Sea were more than once overf1owed and required a large expenditure for maintenance. It asserted that the Southern Pacific aid ed the colonization of the valley mere ly to further it's own ends.
 The intervenors alleged that the in debtedness was merely one way of making the defendant responsible for the maintenance of the railroad tracks through the desert, and alleged that the plaintiff loaned the various sums to the defendant in order that it might gain control of the company and later sell the valuable water rights to the government reclamation ser vice.
 Since the bringing of the suit there has been considerable speculation as

 The resignations of President Giles and Secretary Philo Jones were ac- cepted and George A, Carter of El Centro was elected president and A. c. Paul of Heber secretary to suc- ceed them
 The Imperial Chamber of Commerce was represented by J. B. Parazette, who informed the County Chamber hat Imperial would gay up all in debtedness and be in a position to work with the County Chamber at the next meeting
 A general discussion regarding the best means of promoting publicity was taken up and 1t was finally de- cided to leave the whole matter to the executive committee which will meet at ehe cal of the president probably next week.

to the future of the California Devel- opment Company The judgment against it of approximately $1,500,00O can only be satisfied by the plain tins taking over the entire property.
 It Is asserted by Southern Pacific officials that the outcome of the fore closure suit will not work any dis advantage to the ranchers. On the contrary it is said that the railroad will expend hundreds of thousands of dollars in various Improvements and will extend the present water system.
