board and made several propositions for the sale of the water works sys- tenn to the city. Mir. Holts offers were all liberal and left no excuse for rejection, provided tue City Trus- tees desire, to acquire a system for the city. Mir. Holt offered to sell the entire system including 12O shares of water stock, for S6000: or he would sell the system, water stock and twelve acres of land where the set ting basins are for $10,000; or he would loan the system to the city or any part of it. and in case of pur- chase the city could name it's own terms. None of the trustees ques- toned the liberality of the offers, but it was deemed advisable to get a clearer idea of what the city would be obliged to do in addition to aC- quiring the present system in order to get an adequate water supply and system for the future needs of the city. It was therefore voted that committee composed of Trustees Brown and Pellet confer with MT. Holt and make further inquiries into the proposition, the committee to re- port at later meeting.
 The monthly roll of accounts was presented and allowed.
 Complaints were made to the board that the sewer was not being put ill according to the profile furnished by the engineers, as a result of which the Clerk was instructed to notify Olmstead and Gillelen to come to Fl Centro at once and take charge of the matter.
 The bill of Prick and Ware for the first installment of the sewer work was held up until Friday night, May 14, to which time the meeting was adjourned
 The City Clerk was instructed to transfer from the sewer fund to the general fund the sum of $1406.90 this being the amount which had been paid from the general fund on account of the sewer
 C. E. Lumber was instructed to call a meeting and organize a fire company and to report to the Board when his organization should be com pleted.

Capt. W. J. Byers, who has been camping in various parts of Imperial Valley for the past few months, de- parted from Fl Centro last Monday for Nome, Alaska, to look after min ing interests
 The jump from ImperlaI Valley cli- mate to that of Alaska was such a marked one that the topic of climate naturally came up for discussion when Press representative saw Capt. Byers before his departure. The Cap tain was enthusiastic over the out look for this valley, and believes that it's climatic conditions win be the means of attracting many people here.
 ''I have had catarrh for twenty years" he said, and have used near ly every known medicine, just like the testimonials you read of in the almanacs; I've travelled thousands of miles, yet found no relief until l came to Imperial Valley. It is now about six months since l came here, and l am leaving entirely cured, and with no other remedy except this climate. I have heard of many cures of var ious diseases, and find that this valley ls q natural sanatorium.
 The valley needs, for It's own ac- commodation and for the attraction of tourists and travellers, good roads, more hotel accommodations of a high class, and amusements. The valley should have a chutes park and zoo on the shores of Salton Sea, with the fishing, rowing and yachting judicious- ly advertised Imperial Valley can easily rival any region on the con tlnent as winter health and pleasure resort if the proper steps are taken. expect to return to Imperial Valley early in the fall. and to take up some of these amusement propositions. with the view of attracting winter visitors 70

COUNTY SALARIES
Increases Will Not Benefit Present
 Office Holders.

By the recent act of the Legislature, which will go into effect on May 25, some of the officials of Imperial coun- ty Will receive imaginary increases in salary and other perquisites that wiz make the offices really worth hay inc.
 The salary of the Auditor is in- creased from 5000 to $500 per year. The tax collector receives the same increase. The county clerk is ad- vanced from $22OC to $24OO, and is given a deputy at $90O per year The recorder has his salary cut from 5000 to S2000, but is allowed to have the work of his office done at a fixed price per folio, for which the county pays extra. The salary of the District At torney is raised from $500 to s25OO per year, and he gets deputy at q salary of $12OO.
 The bill was passed by the Legis- Ia! ire at the request Of the Board of Supervisors. None of the present of- f1cors will get the benefit of the in- crease unless they should succeed themselves, as the law provides that nCre of the increase go into effect until their successors are elected.
 + has been contended by some counties and upheld by the Superior Court of Alameda county that the nc.Fly created deputies take office al once. District Attorney Eshleman, however, does not agree with this and tho payment of any deputies who as- su'Ae office prior to the expiration of he term of office of the present of fiCials would be violation of Sec. 3, Ar icle II, of the Constitution of the St2te of California and no such depu- tira will be allowed to draw salaries uness they see fit to take the matter to the Supreme Court of the State Such suit has already been com m"nced in San Bernardino County,
