SITTING UPON THE LID
City Marshal Notifies Druggists t,
 Cease Selling Malt Drinks

City Marshal Bradford announces that he has put the lid on and is sit ting upon it. He has notified drug gists that malt extracts, "digesto" and similar connections, are alcoholic bev- erages in the view of the law and therefore anathema.
 The malt drinks sold by druggists are really stronger in alcohol than is the beer sold by publicans and drunk by sinners, but heretofore the mo- license ordinances have not been in terpreted as applying to drug store Liquid foods" Even hydromaniac crusaders have overlooked six per cent digesto in their ardor for conviction of sellers of two-per- cent slops.
 The marshal says the medicine men have promised to cut out the booze business and be good.

and explain all of the features of the proposition.
 It is proposed to enter into a con- tract with the California Development Company for a complete system of ditches for all that district now under what Is known as the Rose system of laterals. The proposed system of ditches calls for a cement heading in the Alamo, near where the old Rose heading was located, costing about $60,000. The company is to be in- corporated probably with $20,0O0 shares of stock at par value of $25. It is proposed to exchange the stock of No. 1 now located in this district, there being about 16,OO0 shares of it, for the new company's stock share for share, the balance of the new !, stock to be sold to the land owners under the new system, who now have no stock, on liberal terms, the No. 1 stock so transferred to be sold to land owners in other parts of No. 1 who have no stock.
 The diversion dam in the Alamo would raise the water 30 or 40 feet and back the water up the river from two and a half to three miles, thus providing an excellent settling basin. Sluicing gates would be placed in the bottom of the dam, so that the silt, after settling could be quickly sluiced out at any time in the same manner as at the Laguna Dam. As a conse- quence there would be no silt in the possible elsewhere in the valley

TILE WORKS SITE
 FINALLY CHOSEN
Plant of Simons Company to Be In Operation at Fl
 Centro in Fall.

site for the tile works protected geles, has been secured at Fl Centro south of the station yard and east of the railroad track, twenty acres of land having been bought from MT. Morgan It is probable that a part of the tract will be used by the Am erican Nile Cotton Go. as i site for cotton ginning and compressing ma- chinery.
 Careful tests have been made by the Simons Co. of clay taken at var ious depths from the Morgan tract, and so far the material has proved superior to Santa Monica clay for the making of brick and hollow tile. It is the purpose of this company to manufacture building material best adapted to the climate and to en- courage the construction of substan- tial buildings by settlers. Hollow tile walls and tile roofs seem to be beJ- ter than anything else.
 The company proposes to furnish material to home builders without re- quiring any payment in cash, and to extend credit indefinitely to owners of land. This is not philanthrophy; it is good business policy, and the com pany appears to have capital enough to do business in that way.
 Installation of the machinery for making tile and brick will begin early in the fall E. O. Simon was in El Centro this week closing the land deal and arranging for shipments of clay samples to the Los Angeles plant.

BRIGHT PROSPECTS FOR COMING WINTER Prosperity of Farms Means Development of Valley
 Cities
New Industries Established and Pro- jected Give Impetus to Building op- erations and Enhance Value of Bus mess Property-Town Lots in De mand.

Reports are good for unusual acti- yity in the way of building and in establishing new industries in Imper- ia1 Valley this fall. The spring and summer crops have been exceptional ly good and the farmers have demon- strated that Imperial Valley soil is all and more than has ever been claimed for it. Thus far this year the chief progress in the Valley has been in agricultural development This winter will see another period of development in the cities similar to that of year ago last winter.
 In Fl Centro several new buildings will be erected The Delta Implement Go. will erect a large brick building on the corner of Main and Fourth streets, and at least two new two story buildings will be erected on the south side of Main street, between Fifth and Sixth. It is also possible that a handsome business building may be erected on the northeast cor ner of Sixth and Main to correspond in appearance to the, Beach building.
 The Simons Brick O. will begin operations in the fall and the plans of this company are for an extensive brick and tile making plant. Work on gas plants for several of the towns will probably be begun during the winter and it is not impossible that active work on the railroad from San Diego will be begun on this end of the line. An alfalfa meal mill will all so be erected in El Centro and if the project meets with the success that it's promoters expect, it will be fol- lowed by others in other parts of the valley.
 More residences of the better class will be built by the end of the win ter and there will be few vacant lots in some of the residence stl eets.
 Imperial is to have d first class business college and it is probable that new and substantial buildings will be erected there. Brawley, Cal eXico and Holtville will also experi- ence a period of building activity and it is worthy of note that in all thees towns business lots are increasing in
 due with greater number of sales than during the same period year ago.
 Imperial valley will not have it's real boom until all the land tangles are satisfactorily settled, but there is no doubt that there will be a remarka- ble and substantial growth before the end of the winter

NEW FORAGE PLANT
Remarkable Properties Attributed to Para Grass, Recently Brought
 to the Valley

Cuttings of a South American for age plant known as Para Hay"-bot- anically, Panicum Molle--were brought to El Centro last spring by H. Met calf, of Los Angeles, and delivered to Mr. Paris, who has taken care of them on his place in El Centro and will give samples to any farmers who wish to experiment with the plant
 Para Hay is said to be superior to alfalfa in many ways. It yields he1v- fly and is very fattening. Yield Of cured hay is said to be from to 16 tons per acre. While it runs out Der muda grass, it is easily extirpated, it. does not go to- seed. It is not in iured by standing in water hot wealth CT Heavy frost cuts it to the ground out. It is propagated by planting or merely pushing into the wet or moist ground pieces of the stems, 2 feet apart each way. First growth Is in form of surface runners about the size of small pencil, which catch" and root at the joints; when these GOV CT the ground the hay comes up very thick and fast When the stock plants or runners are severed from the roots and die that ends the life, as it can not come up from the root.
 This plant will grow out into the water to a depth of several feet. building up such sod or turf that stock can walk dry shod where there has been two feet of water. Lives many months (possibly years) on the des- ert without watering, but making no growth of value. Can possibly be made to seed in South west when sev- eral years old by withholding water from it for a time New developing shoots or leaves have grown five inches in 26 hours. Stands some al- kali without injury. possibly a good deal. likes heavy clay soil, if rich. Seems to thrive in any kind of soil if fairly rich. Should be watered about same as alfalfa. Continues growth when entirely overfiowed for weeks.
