At last a plan has been solved by
the youngsters to attend the moving
picture shows without going through
the formality of paying five cents to
the ticket seller, and using the nickel
to buy candy. The scheme was re-
lated to Ernest Ben, street inspector,
by a youngster. who vouched that 1t
worked to perfection. His story was:
why to keep from paying a nickel
to the picture shows just wait until
after the first performance and hide
my cap under my coat Then l go to
the ticket, taker and tell him that I
left my cap In the theater and every
time he permits me to go in and get

show. Gee, it worked swell. but say

get a cap, for don't try to hide that

LONG DISTANCE PHONES
Valley Towns to be Connected With
 Sunset System in the Fall.

El Centro and other valley towns will probably be able to talk directly with Los Angeles by telephone early in the fall. The indications are prom ising for wide extension of the talking range, due to the proposed ac- tivities of the Consolidated Telephone and Telegraph Company. This in- cludes connection with much Arizona territory as well as an extension which will give direct communica- tion with the coast towns.
 The Consolidated Company, which has Epes Randolph for it's president and c. w. Hinchcliffffe as general manager, has absorbed the long dis tance lines in Arizona. Those men are also the controlling factors in the Imperial Telephone Company.
 It is the purpose of the company Yuma, following the route of the Southern Pacific to the Colorado riv- CT It is expected by September a connection will be made with the long distance lines of the Sunset con- pany, thus making direct communica- tion to the Coast.
 The Imperial Telephone Company has ordered material for new line between Imperial and Brawley, and will have this line completed by early ing many new phones in all of the valley towns.

REFRIGERATOR EXPRESS
Daily Service Between the Valley and Los Angeles, Started Recently,
 Proves Successful.

Refrigerator express service between Imperial Valley and Los Angeles was started on Friday of last week by Wells, Fargo & Co.,. and Is proving highly satisfactory and successful. The car is attached to the regular daily passenger train that leaves Calexico at 7:15 p. m. and Los Angeles at S:3O D. m. One compartment of the car is kept at very low temperature and carries cream and butter. Another compartment Is kept at temperature less frigid and is reserved for fruit and vegetables.

Heber Interests Intervene In Foreclosure Suit of the
 Southern Pacific,
Railroad Scores in Jersey Court With Injunction Against Annual Meeting Mutual Company Contract With De- velOpment Company.

The process of clearing up the Cal ifornia Development Co.'S. affairs promises to be long and complicated. The Southern Pacific has brought loaned to and expended for the bene- fit of the c. D. Co.,, which was bank rupt when the Colorado River broke into Imperial Valley, and stockhold- CTS constituting the so-called Heber interests have come into the case as intervenors, alleging that the South ern Pacific scheme to wreck the ir- rigation company and ruin the stock holders and now proposes to sell out to the Reclamation Service and pock- ct the proceeds. The interv venors all lege that the board of directors of the c. D. Go. is conniving with the rail road to aid the latter in securing judgment, and they ask that the con- tract between the two companies be declared void.
 There was to have been a meeting of stockholders of the c. D. Go. in Jersey City last Tuesday, but on ap- plication of the Southern Pacific the New Jersey court of Chancery is- sued an injunction forbidding the meeting. It was set forth by the Southern Pacific that certain stock holders in the development company intended either to attend the meeting in person and attempt to vote upon their respective shares or else to give new proxies to other persons who would attempt to vote upon them, pre- tending that the proxies had be- come void by reason of the fact that : they were executed more than three years ago.
 Stockholders in Imperial Water Go No. l also have got into the game with suit to void the contract be- tween that company and the c. D | Co., and to recover the money derived by the c. D. Co., from the sale of No 1's stock.

FEEDING THE NORTHWEST
Hundreds of Tons of Grain Shipped From imperial Valley to Oregon

In olden times when crop shortages came the orders were sent to Egypt for supplies of grain. Even today the Nile of Amerlca-Imperial Valley is to help feed even the land that -erstwhile was noted for its great grain crops. Imperial Valley barley will keep alive the stock of the great Northwest.
 Last week shipment of three hun dred tons of barley was sent out from Calexico to Portland, Oregon, and from there will be distributed throughout the regions where this seasons grain crop was very short. Other shipments from the valley will follow.
 The grain was shipped to Los An geles by the Southern, Pacific and then by the North Pacific Steamship Comapny by water to Portland. It was the first shipment of the kind ever sent out from Imperial Valley

YUMA WANTS DRAWING
Not Satisfied With Plan of Selection at Washington of Lots on In-
 dian Reservation

Citizens of Yuma and residents of the Yuma Valley continue to express their dissatisfaction with the proposed plan of conducting the drawing for lots in the Yuma Indian Reservation at Washington instead of at Yuma or on the land to be settled.
 Yuma has been figuring on receiv- ing an influx of many hundred land seekers when the reservation Is thrown open for settlement, and the is also a matter of general interest to Imperial Valley. The Yuma h. dian Reservation Is located wholly in Imperial County, and should the drawing take place there it is req sonable to expect that many of the disappointed ones will visit Imperial Valley and the district about Yuma in their seach fer desirable loca- tions.
 Last week the Yuma County Com mercial Club, at largely attended meeting, adopted a set of resolutions asking the Government to open the Reservation in the usual manner, with the registration of settlers and the drawing of their homesteads on the Reservation, instead of at Washing ton, D. C., as 1t had been announced would be done
 These resolutions set forth that Yu- ma is prepared to accommodate those who may come to enter lands and that the requiring of registration on the land would favor bonaf1de settlers.
 Three of Yuma's merchants, B. F. Sanguinetti, Harry Brownstetter and O. c. Johnson, were appointed com mittee to look after the matter and to use every effort to hasten the all lotment of the lands, taking place wholly at Yuma or on the Reserva- tion.
 It is probable the civic bodies of Imperial Valley will be asked to join with the Yuma County Commercial Club in urging this change in plans,

FL CENTRO OFFICE LEADS
Handles Greater Volume of Mall Than Any City of Imperial Valley
 Rural Route Soon.

The recent announcement that the salary of the postmaster at El Gen. tro has been raised from $1700 to $500 per year is an indication of the constant growth of business at this office. It is expected that by the first of the new year the showing here will justify raise of salary to the $2000 mark next July, the beginning of the new fiscal year for the govern ment.
 Railway mail clerks serving on the valley line declare that the volume of outgoing mail from Fl Centro exceeds that of any other valley town, and the incoming mail bas reached large proportions. Frequently as many as nine sacks of mail are delivered for one distribution. ~-~>.
 It is expected that within few weeks a rural mail route will be started from the El Centro postoff1ce. Postmaster Miller this week has made an inspection of the proposed route and will recommend it to the depart ment. The proposed route will start from Fl Centro easterly and will then turn south and west, crossing the star route from Fl Centro to Silsbee at the H. J. Wilson ranch. It will be about twenty-four miles in length and will serve more than 100 famil- ies.
 The new fixtures for the postoffice are to come from Indianapolis, and will give Fl Centro the handsomest office equipment in this part of the State. Three hundred and thirty-six new combination boxes have been or dered. They will be placed in V shape in the new office, the west first floor room of the Beach block. The office will remain in the old quarters until these new fixtures arrive.

 A committee consisting of Noel Park and Beal was appointed to con- fer with a committee of three from the Business Mems meeting to devise ways and means to make the public mass meetings over into a permanent organization that shall have for its object civic betterment and they are to report form, name, etc, to the next mass meeting.
 On motion c. J. Park was commis- stoned to bear the nominations made to the city trustees at their next meet ing, and to convey to them the gooG will of the people of Brawley in al the trustees have done or may do tC meet the popular demands.
