TWO WEEKS MORE,
 THEN PLAY BALL
Every Desert League Town is Out to Win and Exciting
 Games are Assured

Two weeks from today the winter baseball season will open in Imper- ial Valley. CaleXico and Imperial will start the season in CSlexico and on the following day Fl Centro, Brawley Yuma and Holtville will play. The season will be a hot one right from the jump and from present indica- lions there will not be a weak team in the league. Every town is out to win and each manager believes he has lined up team strong enough to turn the trick. With this feeling and the high standard of players en- gagged every game should be a con- test well worth seeing.
 El Centro's team is pretty well lin ed up and will be made up about as stated in fast weeks Press. Vance and Brown as the battery, Easterly, McClelland and Watson in the in field, together with one fast man whose name has not yet been announced, and Harkins, Burness and one other local player in the outfield. The men have all been instructed to report for duty one week from today so that they will have a week for practice and to give an opportunity to size up the team for any possible weak spots.
 Brawley figures on having a crack team and the management does not expect to bring up the rear this year by any means Grindle, who was cap tain and catcher for the El Paso White SoX this summer will catch. Eli Gates who pitched for the Washington Am erican League team last year and for Minneapolis this year will do the twirling and he ought to be fast enough to fool the best hitters in the league, Gardner, Dively and Scott have already reported and three infield- CTS, whose names have not yet been announced will report in about a week
 Imperial seems to be a little be- hind the other towns in actually sign ing players but Manager Breedlove has some good ones in sight and can be depended upon to put crack team in the field. It is possible that Scott will refuse to play baseball this win ter and in that event Imperial will have some difficulty in finding a twirl- CT who can measure up to his class
 Since making the announcements that they had secured George Wheel CT and Nagle of the Los Angeles team the Yuma managers have had little to

Many Business and Factory Buildings, Residences and
 Churches in Fl CentrO
New $15,ooo Home For Fl centro National Bank On Corner of Fifth and Main Streets Residences of High Class Are Going Up In South Section of the City.

A $15,000 bank building, one or more new business buildings on Main street between Fifth and Sixth streets, big cold storage plant, Simons' big brick plant, an alfalfa meal mill, gas plant, one or more churches and a dozen dwelling houses comprise El Centro's building program for the coming winter. Before spring the county seat will have taken another big stride forward, will have grown bigger in the way of real estate val ues, population, industries and civic improvements.
 Within two weeks work will be be- gun on the foundation of a new and permanent home for the El Centro National Bank on the corner of Fifth and Main streets. The building will be of two stories with an arcade. The front will be of granite-faced cement blocks. The first story will be 25 by 75 feet and the upper story 37 by 75 feet. There will be en- frances to the banking rooms from both streets, and massive supporting columns will extend from the second story to the outer edge of the side wolks on both streets. The banking rooms will be handsomely furnished and all the equipment will be modern. The vault will be of two sections, one | for the general use of the bank and
 the other for safety deposit boxes 1 to which patrons can have access at all tipes during the banking hours. ! When the B! Centro National Bank : moves into its permanent home the' capital stock will be increased from 1 $3G0OO to $60,OOO
 I The new building will Improve the appearance of the Fifth street cor 1 ner just as the Beach building ad- l ded to the Sixth street corner. It is also possible that a building will be erected on the Wilkinson property on the southeast corner of Fifth and Main. The owners are reported to have said that if the lots are not sold by the first of November the propo- erty will be withdrawn from the mar ket and building erected at once. A small concrete-faced building is being erected by Jacob Duman on his Main street lot. This will be oc- cupied by restaurant. The owners of the two lots west of MT. Duman's lot are also figuring on fifty foot two story building and will probably build if they can secure tenants.
 Douglas and Alexander, who own two lots between the Court House and the Holton Power building, are prepared to build any time they can secure tenants.
 The residence section of the city is being built up even more than the business districts. c. N. Perry is building a fine two- story house on Olive street and M. C. Bosworth is erecting $2500 residence on his 4th street tract. True Vencill and R. B. Moore are building cottage houses on Sixth street and several other new dwellingns are to be erected soon.
 The Church of the Brethren and the Christian church are planning or church buildings this winter, and the Baptists will erect bungalow to be used temporarily as a meeting place and later as a parsonage.

GROWING FINE OLIVES

Among the various products sent to the Imperial County exhibit at the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, last week, were a lot of ripe olives, plump and of large size, grown on the ranch of Nathan Ramsdell, near Holt vile. They are of the Navarillo va riety andn the trees are full of fruit.

Monday, October IS, was the date on which the first bales of Imperial Valley cotton were ginned and baled in El Centro. Amidst the rejoicings. of a large company of people from various parts of the valley, the ma chinery was started and the process of ginning, baling and compressing the first two bales was closely watch ed from the time of the .cotton's entry into the feed spout until it came out in bales and was hoisted to the scales.
 At g o'clock Joseph R. Loftus, pres ident of the American Nile Cotton Company, escorted Mrs. A. F. lAndrade who is the wife of the vice president of this company, to platform before the motor, and she deftly turned on the current which started all the ma chinery into motion. MT. Hunt, who had erected the machinery, gave the spectators a general description of the working of the various sections, and then the feed chute was opened and the feathery cotton was drawn by suction into the two gin stands.
 Within a few moments the first bale was beginning to form in the string frames on the elevated sec tion of the gin house, and every ounce was watched with interest until the great mass was whirled over to the compress and squeezed down to a compact square, wired up and rolled out onto the weighing platform. It weighed 49O pounds.
 This cotton was from the Wilsie ranch, and was grown by MT. Me- Clanahan. The bale was purchased I'by F. B. Fuller, president of the El Centro National Bank, and is now on exhibition in the windows of the bank.
 The second bale was from cotton grown on the Meloland ranch, and weighed 460 pounds. This bale now reposes in the Imperial county dis play in the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce.
 The entire forenoon was taken up with a general inspection of the plant and as soon as the first bale was completed MT. Loftus received the congratulations of the spectators.
 Among those who witnessed the ginning and compressinng of these first bales were representatives from this city, Calexico, Heber, Holtville, Meloland, Imperial and Brawley. w. H. Averill, division superintendent of the Southern Pacific, in company with w. H. Mann, local agent of the South ern Pacific, was one of the interest ed spectators, and expressed gratifi cation at the successful launching of this new industry.
 While much enthusiasm was shown during the forenoon, the bigness of this event appealed to so many that it was decided to have an impromptu

ADAMS BROS STRAWBERRY FIELDS
The Finest in N0Gtbem WiSeonSia--I5,
900 Quarts This Seasons Crop,
Large Crop Of BIackberries II

A sight that should not BIZ mis-
.sed, and one that should be seen
to be appreciated, is the Adams
Bros strawberry and lackberry
fields on their farm three miles
from town. When a field Of 8
and II acres of strawberries that
will yield about IS 900 quarts Of
the finest and largest strawberries
ever put on the market, can be
seen with the delicious ripe fruit
neatly covering the ground, is a
sight worth ones time and trip to
see The berries cannot be eX-
celled in this or any other state.
and the fields show that a large
amount of hard work has been
done on them to bring the plants
to their large yielding condition.
One will also see field of one
and a quarter acres Of blackber-
ries, that are heavily laden with
that delicious fruit, which is
also the largest and finest field Of
blackberries ever raised in Villas
county. The condition of the
bush, and the berries will tickle
the palate of lovers of fruit, espec-
tally those home grown.
The Adams Bros, ale making a
specially of growing small fruit,
and their strawberry and black
berry fields certainly show that
they are having fine success in
that line. The gentlemen will be
pleased to show all visitors the
fruit fields, who care to take the
trip to their farm. Altho the crop
is large, the demand for their
berries is greater than the supply.
When one stops to think of the
care it takes to raise these fruits
on small scale, it certainly is a
pleasing sight to see the above
fields. :
