SKINNER-D -D|NSMORE TROUBLES
Charges of Perjury Grow Out of Mix Up Over Contested Land Claims
 Held For Trial.

On complaint of John E. Davis, Si- gel Skinner and F. A. Dinsmore were arrested last Sunday on the charge of perjury in giving their testimony in the case in which Skinner was charged with malicious mischief in the tearing down of a shack erected on a disputed tract of land.
 The preliminary hearing of Skinner was held before Justice Clark Brad shaw, at Imperial, on Tuesday, and Dinsmore's hearing was on Wednes- day Both men were held to trial be- fore the Imperial County Superior Court Skinner's bail being fixed at $7O00 and Dinsmore's was $4000.
 Neither was prepared to put up so large an amount and both were placed in the County Jail. On Thursday Skinner secured the required bail, twelve men going on the surety and qualifying for $16OOO. Dinsmore has not yet secured bail but expects to do so within a few days. The trial will not take place until court con- venes after the summer vacation.

TELEPHONE EXTENSIONS
Direct Lines From Valley to Los An
 geles and to Arizona.

Direct telephone communication be- tween Imperial Valley and Los An geles, as we'll as between this valley and a large portion of the territory of Arizona early in the fall is the pro gramme mapped out by the telephone companies.
 District Manager Beuhler, of Phoe- nix, states that all arrangements have been completed by the Consolidated Telephone, Telegraph and Electric Company for the building of two cop per loops from Phoenix to Yuma, where the Pacific Telephone Com pany will meet them with two loops from Los Angeles. One of these loops will be used as a way line, while the other will be used for through busi- ness. The easterly terminus of the through line will be Phoenix while the way line will terminate at Tucson.
 Specifications for these lines have been prepared and the material was ordered during the past week. Con struction is ito be started as soon as the material arrives, and four gangs are to be placed Il the field, working from both ends, so as to rush the work to an early completion.

REGISTRY BUSINESS
El centro Post Office Shows Large Volume of Letters and Parcels
 Handled During Year.

During the year ending June 30, 1909, the El Centro postoffice handled 2536 registered letters and packages. They were divided as follows: Domes- tic parcels, PIT; domestic letters, 1884 foreign parcels, l. foreign letters, 39; official letters, S9 distribution of let ters registered free, 2OS.
 The volume of business at the local postofIice has been gradually increas- ing, notwithstanding the fact that many persons leave the valley at this sea son of the year, The influx of peo- pie working on the cantaloupe crol and the general increase in business is the cause bf this growth of the pos tai business.

It Holds Annual Meeting and Elects New Board of
 Directors
Decides to Plant Exhibition Field of Cotton Near Depot-Makes Over lures to Chamber of Commerce For Cooperation or Consolidation of Civic Organizations.

The annual meeting of the Fl Cen tro Ten Thousand Club was held at the City Hall last Wednesday evening, officers were elected and steps were taken toward cooperation or consoli- dation with the Chamber of Con- merce.
 The Secretary presented his finan- cial report for the year, showing that 1 in the direct work undertaken by the Ten Thousand Club during its first year of existence the sum of $4S3 had been collected and expended. Much of this amount has been used in the entertainment of representative bod ies from outside points visiting Fl Cen tro.
 President Allen Kelly presented his annual report as follows
 Presidents Report
 The Ten Thousand Club of El Cen tro, is one year old. It was organized June 29th, 1908, to unite the citizens of El Centro in movements to pro- mote the growth and welfare of the city and to aid in making the re- sources of the valley generally known to the world outside For six months the club was active and diligent; 1t accomplished many things beneficial to the county and became known throughout the Southwest for it's en- terprise and efficiency.
 In December, 1908, the El Centre 1 Chamber of Commerce was reorganized and undertook to carry on the gener- al work appropriate to such a body relieving the Ten Thousand Club ol that part of it's work and the advertis- ing and supplying information. 1t was deemed advisable to have but one body calling for financial support, and by common consent the Ten Thousand Club ceased collecting dues from mem bers, No formal vote of the club was taken on that proposal but the mem bers assumed that such would be the decision, and it was found impracti- cable to attempt to collect in dues enough to eXtinguish the clubs debts
 Meetings and collections, therefore ceased at the end of the year, al though some members paid dues for January, 1909
 tn baK T ed that there is room as well as need for two organizations--one to do the work of a commercial body and publici ty agency, and one to give expression to public opinion on municipal af- fairs and to keep alive the civic spirit in El Centro There need be no con tlict whatever between the two bod ies; they can, and it is to be hoped 1 will, cooperate and work in harmony
 The president ventures to recom- mend that dues be either suspended or reduced to a nominal amount, in order that double burden shall not be placed upon citizens, most of whom are members of both bodies, but urges that such action be not taken until the club shall have discharged its debts. Two or three months dues would suffice to clear the accounts. It i' recommended also that in future the club incur no debts, and that in casC it shall be considered advisable to d' anythinIg involving expense, the neces
