new SNAG IN CITY
ACT IS DISCOVERED
Supervisors Must Pay
Men They Can't
Direct

when Is county cmploye Ter
ritorial employe. and then who Is
the boss?" is the rather involved
question that the members of the
Health Committee OF the Board OF
Supervisors are asking themselves.
Already the snags are being found
In the law passed by the recent Leg
islature. turning certain institutions
over TO the city and county. That II
is up to the county fathers to pro-
vide two sanitary inspectors seems
pretty generally agreed. That II is
mp to the Mayor to appoint the in
spectors Is also agreed. But the
third point forms the snag. The
President of the Board of Health
will have to boss the inspectors. paid
by the county and appointed by the
Mayor. In other words, President
Mott-Smith will have under him two
men concerning whose appointment
he had no say.
Just how such a proposition Will
work out no one seems prepared to
prophecy. and the problem is caus-
ing the Supervisors no little dis
1uietude.
Just who will pay the county ply
stefan is another matter that is caus-
ing more than IA little worry. The
Supervisors do not believe that they
will have money enough.
The question Of Jail improvements
Is another matter that must be faced
by the Supervisors, This will prob
ably come up at tomorrow nights
meeting. the Police Committee now
having II under adyisement.
Most depends on the decision Of
the Governor with relation to the
ccding of the land makai of the
present structure, which Mayor Fern
and Sheriff Jarrett believe Is needed
in order to make the jail plant COM
modious enough for convenient and
economical administration.

Products of the Valley Opened Eyes of Visitors and
 Amazed Experts
Nearly Four Thousand Persons Pass
 ed Through the Gates-Texans Made Cotton Day the LiveIiest of the Sea
 son--FinanciaI Results Satisfactory.

The second annual exhibition of the Imperial County Fair Association, the first held under state regulations In the 45th district, closed last Saturday with cotton day celebration managed by the Texas Society. The Texans served a barbecue to the crowd and made the day the best of the foar days of the County Fair. They had a Southern darky picking cotton, dancing and telling stories in the field presided over by King Cotton and they took part joyously in many of the races. The gate receipts showed an attendance of 1900.
 The cotton exhibit was incomplete because the goods made of Imperial Valley cotton shipped by the Oakland Mills, were stalled somewhere on the railroad and failed to arrive until af- ter the fair, being fifteen days ill transit
 An excellent race program filled in the afternoon time and held the crowd until dark. The relay race was ex- citing while it lasted but it was not finished because one of the broncnos bolted and ran all over the field, A. nally colliding, with another horse and falling with it's rider
 The total attendance of the fosr days, shown by admissions at the gate, was 3804. The receipts from all sources were $2S1175 and the ex- penses will foot up little under that figure, leaving the association a small margin of profit. The list of prennium awards has not been completed but will be ready for publication next week.
 The fair was completely successful and creditable in every way to the county and to President Carter >aad the other officers and committees of the association The display of pre- ducts was an eye-opener to visitors. II. c. Hubbard. of the famous Hub bard & Wright ranch, San Fernando, was here on his first visit to the val ley and after inspecting the stock show he pronounced this valley the best stock country he had ever seen and altogether the biggest farming opportunity in America. He was es- pecially interested in the C-M. Co.'S. exhibit of horses and mules, and he said he never had seen mules in Missouri to compare with some of the animals raised here.

City Trustees Quit Marking Time and Take a Step
 Forward
Engineer sonderegger Estimates That Water System Can be Installed in Fl centro For Fifty Thousand Dol
 lars-WiIl Make Report Next Week.

The City Trustees of El Centro have engaged Engineer Sonderegger to make a report on a water system for the city and an estimate of cost up on which to base a resolution of in tention to call a bond election. MT Sonderegger appeared before the board last Wednesday night, at the request of the Advisory Committee, and out lined in general terms the system that he considered adequate. He said he believed it would cost about $50,000, exclusive of land and he would make the plans and superintend the con- struction for $2500 or five per cent of the cost. He would make the preliminary report for $200, that sum to be deducted from the $2500 if his plans should be accepted.
 The trustees discussed with the engineer many of the details of the proposed system, the type of pumps and engines required, the power to be used, construction of settling ba- sins, etc. and acquired more definite information in an hour than they had accumulated in six months of futile effort to make a start without the aid of water engineer.
 City Attorney Smith advised the board how to proceed to call bond election and said it would take at least month to perfect the preliminary steps up to the election.
 On motion of Trustee Brown, the board requested MT. Sonderegger to submit general plan and estimate, and he agreed to have his report ready for the meeting next Tuesday night.

CALEMCO'S WATER PLANS
City Purchases Plant of Imperial I'm proVement Company and Will
 Make Extensions to System

CaleXico recently voted a bond is sue of $30,0O0 for the purpose of ac- Quiring a municipal water system. Last week the City Trustees closed negotiations with the Imperial Inn provement Company whereby the company sells to the city all of block "A and 75, and seven lots in block 73, all the equipment of the com pany, pipes, engines, tanks, basins, right and title to Redwood Park and the thirty-foot strip along the inter national boundary line. The pur- chase price is $S0O0.
 Officers of the Imperial Improve ment Company estimate that the land sold the city is worth at regular list prices $6,700 The statement is also made that the company has eXpend- ed $30,000 in the water system, but how much of that is of value now is problematical.
 The board of trustees is consider ing the best plans for the improve ment of the municipal water system and the most popular of these plans, says the Chronicle, is as follows:
 To establish three reservoirs, one deep one to hold at least 50,000 gal Ions of clear water to be cemented; :; two settling basins at a higher level that can be cleaned every week and used alternately, flushing into a spill way that empties into New River; to cement the boundary ditch as far east as the city limits and enclose the same in an Indian proof barb wire fence; to establish an air pressure tank that will not be exposed to the sun in summer and will give even more pressure than a gravity system; to lay all mains in alleys instead of the public streets and to set thirty hy- drants in all parts of town for fire pro lection and street sprlnkling purposes
 The system involves the laying of nearly SO00O feet of pipe which will cost $12,21O and when completed Ca leXico will have as good a plant as any in the valley A portion of the new part of the system laid recently by the I, V. I. Co will be used

STANDING OF CLUBS

El Centro won from Imperial Sun day to 1, and thereby increased the lead for the pennant. The game was one of the most hotly contested of the season, Scott of the Chicago White Sox being in the box for Imperial. Scott was an enigma for most of the players, Terry McKune, who made four clean hits being the exception.
 Last Thursday Bl Centro defeated Calexico in an entertaining swatfest. Five home runs were made one by Calexico, four by El CentrO. Easterly put two over the fence Imperial de- feated Calexico on Friday by reason of Oscar Jones' masterly pitching. Holtyille lost to Calexico Saturday by stupid base running and because pitcher Wiggs let down at critical points.

 on South Sixth Street.

The Mesquite Club, El Centro's or ganization of young men for mutual benefit and recreation, held a meet ing at the Holt Opera House on Tues day night, and the committee on membership reported thirty-two mem bers enrolled.
 Mir. Moulder, assistant superintend- ent of the Holton Power Company, was made president; R. P. Moore, secretary, and Robert Bell, treasur- CT. These three, with Homer Haver- male and J. F. Tout, form a com mittee on bylaws to be presented at the next meeting.
 It was decided to take a lease on the two rooms in the Holt block at the rear of the Valley Departmenr Store fronting on Sixth street. These are the rooms formerly occupied by pr. Mattocks and the Wells Fargo Express Company. They are COZ nected and can be we'll arranged for cluD quarters. committee on Iuc- nishings these rooms was appointed, composed of J. w. Colson and Sum- ner T. Martin.
 It Is probable that an arrangement will be made with the public read ing room association to give it the use of one of these rooms, while an other room will be fitted up for the exclusive use of members of tho Mesquite Club.
 The charter membership roll re- mains open, and the promoters of the cub hope to enroll a large propor- tion of the young men of El Centro. An attractive programme of wlhter activities has been mapped out.

The Federal grand Jury in Los An geles has found indictments for per- jury against H. w. Blaisdell and R. T. Perry and another for fraud against Sigel Skinner. Blaisdell recently pleaded guilty of fraud in land trans actions and was fined $4,00e, but he failed to come through with the sort of testimony the prosecutors of the land fraud cases wanted and his vir- tual immunity seems to have been withdrawn.

Rapid progress was made in bor- ing for artesian water at Holtville until last Thursday when the two- inch pipe stuck at depth of $50 feet and work was suspended to await the arrival of pipe of larger diameter which will be put down outside of the first pipe. The inner pipe can then be driven deeper and boring resumed. It is to be regretted that a complete log of the boring is not being kept as the information would be of considerable value geologically.

ALFALFA MEAL MILL
 NEARLY COMPLETED Concern Will Make a Ready Market For Valley Hay
 and Grain Crops

Lively scenes are presented at the Imperial Valley Alfalfa Meal Mill Company's plant, in the southeastern part of Fl Centro. A corps of men is engaged in finishing the main build ing, and several machinests are here to place the machinery.
 The main building, which is 40x44 and fifty feet in height, has an ex- tension 70X2S, one story. This is of galvanized iron. It is one of the most conspicuous buildings in El Cen tro.
 Near this is being erected brick engine room, and close at hand the pit has been dug for an oil tank storage of two cars capacity.
 Stock yards, stanchions, etc, are going up, and the whole will be one of the best equipped plants of the kind to be found in the Westa>
 F. P. Ellingson, an expert machin- est, has come from Beloit, Wiscon- sin, and Mir. Herbert, of Los Ange- les, has come to superintend the in stallation of the machinery and en- zine.
 A reservoir 5OX75 feet and eight feet deep has been constructed. A force pump has been placed, and this throws a stream of water two hun dred feet Running water is sup piled through all the feed yards.
 At the beginning of operations at this plant ten men will be given em- ployment. This number will be grad ually increased as the business ex- bands.
 Within two weeks the plant will be ready for operation. Large amounts of material for the "ImperiaP feeds is already assembled. In storage the firm has more than 500,000 pounds of the Egyptian corns, while it has con- tracts for the delivery of 800 tons of loose alfalfa hay to the mills with in ten days after the operations are commenced.
 The mills will create ready market for loose valley hay. and will dis tribute the ready cash to the growers without the waits for returns from Los Angeles markets.
 Already stanchions have been en- gagged for the use of strings of dairy cows while they are being fed the balanced rations intended to increase their flow of milk. Immediately back of these stanchions are to be erected pens for finishing off hogs, and the milk from separators will be turned directly into the troughs at the pens, for use with the rations of alfalfa meal and Imperial" foods.
 Packers a { Los Angeles express their satisfaction over the location of these feeding pens at the new mills, and they declare the quality of pork produced by this systematic feeding will be improved and that they can afford to pay higher prices for such stock.
 After the mills are fully in opera tion, 1t is the intention of the com pany to open up a retail establish ment in El Centro's business center for the purpose of handling their pro-
