DATES ARE PROMISING
Arboriculturist Bruce Drummond Is Pleased With Years Work at
 Mecca and Indio.

Bruce Drummond, arboriculturist in charge of the government experiment. al stations at Indio and Mecca, is pleased with the progress made in date culture during the past year, and is more than ever firmly convinced that date-growing in the Coachella and Imperial Valleys will prove of great commercial importance.
 At the Mecca and Indio stations ninety-two date trees have matured fruit the past year. This is the second year for the major part of these trees to bear, and it is noticeable that the crop ripened twenty days earlier than the first year and that the fruit aver aged one-fifth larger in size.
 MT. Drummond has distributed ap-

The work of placing cement curbs on both sides of State street, from Fourth to Sixth streets, was be- gun this week. J. W. Colson has started the laying of cement walk on his frontage on the north side of Main street, adjoining the Levy build ing.

METHODIST CHURCH ENLARGED.

The Sunday school and congrega- tions of the Fl Centro Methodist church have grown to such propor- tions that it has become necessary to provide more room. The north walls have been moved out to the edge of the porch, thus throwing what was porch space into the auditorium; but even with this change the room Is not sufficient, and the church will soon have to erect an edifice in keep ing with the general growth of the city. The present building will then be used for a parsonage.

RAILROAD NEWS.
Great Race of the Big Lines to Beat One Another to the Desert
 Metropolis.

The rumors that the New York Central, the Great Northern, the Can. adian Pacific and the Valdez & Cop per River railroads are straining every nerve to see which shall be the first to get rails laid into Imperial is now confirmed A farmer sends in word that he saw man with a transit skulking in the brush near Signal Mountain at 2:9O D. III. a week ago some day early in the week, and he is sure the man was chief engineer for a big railroad surreptitiously To- eating line.
 That settles it. It is we'll known that the chief end and aim of all the big railroad managers Is to reach the city of Imperial. That is what the projectors of the Santa Fe had in view when they began building from the Missouri and the one great sor- row of Jim Hills life is that he didn't strike Imperial instead of Seattle. The Valdez & Copper River main line is not exactly heading this way, but the editor of The Standard has inside information that the route up Copper River is only a blind, and that the road will fork to reach Imperial, where it will stop.
 The Great Northern is having a fleet of steamships built to run on Salton Sea in connection with it's Im- perlal branch This is authentic; it comes from rancher over on New River.

PRISON FOR TWO
Garcia, Robber, and Gwin, Box Car Thief, Have Been Transferred
 to San Quentin.

Sheriff Mobley Meadows departed from Fl Centro Wednesday morning with two recruits for the State peni- tentiary at San Quentin. They were Antonio Garcia, of Calexico, and Gwin, who was arrested at Imperial Juno ton.
 Antonio Garcia discovered where An Hoy, a Chinese laundryman at Calexico, hid his money in the ground, and when An Hoy went up town Gar cia dug up the coin. The Chinaman returned home just in time to catch the robber, who tried to break away and get over into Mexico. The case was tried before jury in the Superior Court in Fl Centro last week; Garcia was found guilty and sentenced to four years in San Quentin.
 Gwin was arrested for breaking in to box car at Imperial Junction and stealing merchandise. He was found guilty and sentenced to two years in the State prison.

READY FOR TREES
 ON COUNTY ROADS
Settlers Eager to Begin Plant ing, But Details of 0iS-
 tribution Are Not Worked Out,

The Press plan for getting the high ways of the county lined with trees, adopted by the Supervisors, is ap- proved heartily by the settlers, who are eager to do their part and already have made applications for enough trees to line 100 miles of road. The farmers are ready to set out trees, and it was announced that the Super visors were ready to supply the trees, but 1t appears that the Supervisors are not filling the orders.
 The board thought it was prepared to go ahead and gave an order for a carload of trees, but loud roar went up from local nurserymen, and the board hastily cancelled its order and reverted to its chronic habit of doing something taking it back and assum- ing an attitude of masterly inactivity. It seems important to the board that an elaborate set of rules and regula- tions be formulated before trees are distributed, and one of these days the members will give their whole minds to figuring out ways and means of getting a tree stuck in the ground. In the meantime hundreds of farmers are waiting for the trees which they were invited to ask for and to plant, and the nurserymen, whose kicking stopped the work, are grumbling at the delay. The usual result of trying to please everybody.
 Tree-planting is one of the most i'm portant works undertaken by the county government, and the sooner it is begun the better for all concerned. When the roads are lined with trees, the valley will be gridironed by sys- tenn of windbreaks that will change in several ways the conditions affecting the comfort of settlers. The force of the spring winds will be moderated and dust storms will cease, and even the temperature will be reduced con siderably. Three years growth will produce noticeable results, and in five years the appearance of the valley will be so transformed that the desert will be only a memory.
 The original intention of the Super visors was to use only eucalyptus trees on the county roads, and reso- lution to that effect was adopted. However, several property owners had started to improve their property lines with other varieties of trees and de- sired to continue their plan. In order to meet such contingencies, the Board has decided to furnish other varieties of trees, when desired, on the basis of the county donating an amount to- ward the purchase price equal to the cost of the same number of eucalyptus trees.
 Applications for trees must be made direct to the Supervisors, who will ts- sue orders for trees on the Horticul tural Commissioner, and the latter of ficer will appoFtion the orders among nurserymen, deliver the trees to the landowners, and take their receipts and data as to the location of the pro- posed tree planting.
