puzzling that has ever come to the no
tice Of the local authorities, II Is said.

Birds Sonoa

A French writer says that notwith.
standing the fact OF their simplicity
the songs Of birds cannot be initiated
with musical instruments because of
the impossibility Of reproducing their
peculiar timbre. The notes Of birds.
while corresponding with our musical
scale, also include vibrations occupy
ing the intervals between our notes.
The duration Of birds songs is usually
very short, two or three seconds for
thrushes and channches. four or i've
seconds for blackbirds. but from two
to i've minutes for tho 1ark.

EXCESSIVE FREIGHT RATES
Valley Business Men Protest Against Increase of Already Heavy
 Burden.

At q meeting of the Imperial Valley Business Mems Protective League, last Tuesday, the secretary was instructed to apply to the proper railroad of- ficers for restoration of "midtermin- al freight rates, which were with drawn last January, and to take up with the State railroad commission the restoration of former minimum weight on carload shipments. The changes made by the railroad recent ly have increased materially the all ready heavy freight rate burden of Imperial Valley, and every farmer and merchant is affected directly and is urged to aid the association in ob- taining relief.

SEWER WORK BEGINS
 AT COUNTY SEAT
Contractors Start Operations
 With Digging at Site of Septic Tanks.

Actual construction on Fl Centro' $ septic sewer system was begun yes terday morning. Every available means will be used to hasten the work forward and while the time allowed is ninety days from the time of sign ing the contract, which would give the contractors until the middle of July, they hope to cut at least three weeks off this time
 W. A. Prick, senior member of the firm of Prick X Ware, came to Fl Centro on Wednesday evening, with a company of nine men, among whom are two of the firms expert sewer men, Messrs. Sidney Walter and J. NJ. Partrow
 The mammoth ditch digger, which will be operated by electric power here, will hasten the work, as there are no difficulties in the way of rapid ditch digging in the silt formation on the townsite.
 The work started yesterday morn ing was at the site of the septic tanks, in the northeastern corner of the town site, and as soon as the work can be shaped up the contractors expect to employ as many men and teams as can work to advantage on eXcavating for the septic tanks.
 Material is being assembled for the system, and there is no reason to ap- prehend any delays in carrying the entire system to completion within a few weeks time

FINANCIERS INVESTIGATE
Eastern Capital Looking For Invest ment in Imperial Valley Farm
 Mortgages.

Conditions in Imperial Valley were investigated this week by commit tee of the Union Central Life Insur- ance Co, of Cincinnati, and the finan- cial correspondents of that company, preliminary to the investment of funds in loans to settlers The committee men were Louis Breiling, treasurer of the company, and CliffArd B. Wright, president of the Union Trust and Savings Bank of Cincinnati. They were accompanied by Jas. l.. Lom- bard and Norman Lombard, of Lom- bard & Son, San Francisco, and H. c. Griswold, of Fl Centro, and the party spent two days in viewing val ley farms from an automobile.
 The eastern men were more than satisfied with the prospects of the valley, and they were amazed at the results of desert reclamation. Their report will be wholly favorable, and without doubt the company will in- vest great deal of money in loans on Imperial Valley lands,
 The Union Central does the largest business in farm mortgages of all the financial institutions in the country and already has $55,OOO,0O0 loaned on that class of securities. Applications for $45,0O0 have been made through one El Centro agent, and there is no doubt that Lombard & Son will ap- prove most if not all of them. The firm will make loans on it's own ac- count also. One of the members says he feels confident that final receipts will be regarded as sufficient title to land. The loans are to be for ten years. and the rate of interest prob able will be reasonably low.

COUNTY CHAMBER MEETS
Favors Attempt to Bring Odd Fellows
 Grand Lodge Here.

At the regular monthly meeting of the County Chamber of Commerce, held in Calexico Wednesday, it was voted to complete the advertising and promotion campaign now under way and then to take recess until Octo- Der 1, when it is proposed to start a new and larger campaign in the in terests of the county.
 It was announced that there was good chance of getting the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows, with twelve hundred members, here next year.
 The results which are now being secured as the result of the adver- Using work of the Chamber were shown to be substantial and gratify- ing. The Chamber is now much stronger than at any previous time and it's members are enthusiastic over the prospects for the future.
