Representative Committee of Citizens to Work With
 City Trustees
Possibility of Boring Small Test Hole to Prospect For Artesian Water at Small Proportion of Estimated Cost Of Proposed We'll.

The standing committees of the Chamber of Commerce met last Sat urday morning to select a committee of five citizens to advise and cooperate with the Board of Trustees of El Gen. tro in planning and constructing a municipal water system.
 The members of the committee SO selected are George A. Carter, presi- dent of the chamber of commerce. A banker and man of affairs in whose business judgment tie people have confidence; c. N Perry, a civil engi neer, who is thoroughly acquainted with water affairs in the valley and has had much experience in construc ton of canals and water power plants: former Judge Ansel Smith, learned lawyer and a man of ripe judgment. w. c. Whitescarver, a business man largely interested in industrial enter prises, and H. c. Griswold, represent ing the real estate interests, who has to be convinced ofthe merits of a project before he endorses it. N
 The board is thoroughly represen- tative, and it is conceded that no bet ter selections could have been made.
 One of the questions to be consid- cred by the trustees and the advisory board is the expediency of exploring for artesian water It is estimated that a I2-inch we'll sunk to a depth of 400 feet would cost $1OOO0, but it is not certain that it would develope water. It is possbile however, to sink a smaller test hole at less ex- pense. Operators of hydraulic rigs will undertake to drill and case four inch hole one thousand feet deep for a dollar foot, providing that they do not strike rock. For drilling through rock they charge $35 day In case of failure to find water, the city would be out only dollar foot for the hole, instead of $1O,000. Should water be struck, it would then pay to put down a ten thousand dollar hole.

fit of M. w. Conkling, H. E. Pearson, ]. c. Blacklnton and Albert Casner. Hired bartenders are said to have absorbed some of the profits in ways known to bartenders. l.. w. Hollis was bartender at one tlme and person described as "tin-horn gam bier" from Imperial was one of his successors.
 A few weeks ago the T1l Centro mem- bers of the Aerie, at a regular meet ing, by decisive vote, ordered that the sale of liquors in Eagles Hall cease, and for a few days the bar was closed. The directors of the associa- ton called another meeting sum- moned Eagles from Imperial and Cal eXico to help them, reversed the ac- tion of the El Centro members and reopened the bar in Eagles Hall against the energetic protest of El Centro members. The bar has been running ever since.
 Fl Centro Aerie recently appointed a committee to investigate and report upon the legal status of the Eagles Hall Association" the relation of the association to the lodge and the rela- tion of individual members of the lodge to the association. That com mittee has submitted some questions to officers of the Grand Lodge among them this: May a few members get together, without any regular meet ing of the Aerie, form themselves in to an association and make all mem- bers of the Aerie ipso facto members of their association ?"
 In the opinion of an attorney, who is member of the Aerie, the Eagles Hall Association is not legally in- corporated, members of the Aerie, are not ipso facto members of the associa- tion, and the bar conducted by M. w. Conkling, H. B. Pearson, Albert Casner and J. c. Blackinton is notnmg but a blind pig"
 In the opinion of many citizens of El Centro, the bar in the Blackinton building is a nuisance and is doing injury to persons who are tempted to spend there more time and money than they can afford.
 In the opinion of the City Attorney, the bar in the Blackinton building is a perfectly legal institution He says it is not violation of the law, and as he prepared ordinance No. 6, it s to be presumed that he knows what it was intended to mean and what sort of blind pigs it was intended to suppress.
 Deeds to lots in the townsite of Fl Centro contain a clause providing for forfeiture in case the sale of liquor on the property is permitted. The title to the land upon which the Black ington building stands appears to be subject to attack.

SPORTS !
BICYCLE RACES
FOR JULY.FOURT

Plans are being shaped up for bicycle
races at Kapiolani park track on July
4, the principal prize being the gold
watch hung up by DR.. Hand This
watch was raced for on June IL, but
none of the wheelmen came anywhere
near the time limit. DR.. Hand was
probably more sorry than anyone else
that no one won and would have given
tho watch for record even several
points above that already fixed
Vierra has the matter of program
in hand. He is assured of the use
of the park and, as there is nothing
very large in the way of sports at other
places that day, the crowd would prob
ably be large one. His idea is 10
have one, two, five and eleven mile
races This would reach all classes
of riders.

been competed for on ten different
occasions. Early i'm the contest Har-
vey and X. b. Porter tied for first

weeks. one after another of the handi-
cap men pulling to the fore. During
this latter period it was felt that the
handicaps were a trifle fat, some OF
the handicap men themselves remark
ing that they had been treated rather
overheard On this account, aside
from the general one of winning, Har-
vey is entitled to a big chunk of
praise.
In yesterdays shoot Harvey made
the possible. which was twenty birds
scratch. The next to him was w. M
Vincent a handicap man.
Unless something Of an interisland
character can be rugged up, there will
likely be no big match shooting until
after the open season for birds, which
begins July /. Hunting will likely

RECORD IS STILL
HELD BY WOOD

Horse racing records recently re-
ceived here still gives w. Wood the old
racer belonging to the late Prince Da-
vid. first place in his class, This re-
eoid of 2:07 for four year old geldings
was made by Wood at Santa Ana in
1891. 1t has, of course, been beaten
by horses in other classes; but stands
today as the record in its own.
w. Wood is now % years of age, and
his racing days are over. Withal, he
is a first class driving animal and is
now in that service AS he will never
race again he will likely die with his
record still standing for other horses
to go after.
