IMPERIAL VALLEY BONDS.
City and School District Securities
 Bring High Premiums.

The sale of the s65,OOO bond issue of the Holtville Union High school district at premium of $426S last week provides further evidence that Imperial Valley bonds are regarded with high favor by investors. County Treasurer Roman has been able to sell all the bond issues this year at six per cent and also at a premium considerably higher than had been ex- pected. The State bought the Fl Gen. tro district bonds and also the El Centre municipal bonds. N. w. Hal sey and Go. bought the Brawley and Imperial high school district issues. The Wm. R. Staats Go. was the high est bidder for the Holtville and Cal eXico bonds. Competition among buy CTS for all these issues has been very keen and in each case the premium offered has been high.
 Treasurer Roman has been assured by leading bond houses that a $25,- 900 or $90,00O issue of road bonds for the county can readily be sold at five per cent.

HoltViIle Votes to Acquire Municipal System, With Not One Dis

Holtville citizens last Friday voted unanimously to issue $37,0O0 for the construction of a municipal domestic water system.
 The splendid spirit of town i'm provement was shown by the fact that not one dissenting vote was cast.
 It Is expected that the bonds can be sold immediately and that the ac- quirement of the present system and work on its betterment will be under taken within the ensuing two months.
 Holtville leads Imperial Valley in the matter of high school outlay, hav- ing recently voted an issue of $65,- 900 for high school building equip ment and site. It now takes another forward step in the bond issue for mu- nicipal water supply,

ASSISTANCE APPRECIATED.

At meeting of the Board of Direct tors of the Imperial County Farmersl Union held at Imperial on Thursday October IA, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted:
 Whereas The papers of the In- perial Valley have been liberal in the. degree of publicity which they have given the Farmers Union movement, and have eyinced in many ways their cordial endorsement of the aims of the Farmers Union,
 Be it Resolved: That we extend to them vote of thanks as a sligh. appreciation of the courtesy and good will prompting their conduct toward the Farmers Union; and that as cir cumstances may dictate we will take advantage of their liberal offers of space and assistance

through the northerly channel, and that was followed upward until the jungle and drifting trees blocked the way. The current was so swift in many places that the launch could not make headway with her screw, and all hands had to pile out upon the bank and haul upon a line.
 The head of navigation was marked by willow tree in mid channel, and the Lucy B was made fast to the tree for the night. Two hemp cables and a heavy chain held the boat and a merciful Providence kept the tree from dragging it's root-anchors and letting the whole outfit go tumbling down stream in the night. It is only fair to the river to explain that it helped some by throwing the Lucy B into an eddy and taking the strain off the willow.
 Sunday forenoon was spent in back ing down to the forks, and it re- quired all of the Lucy B's engine power and the active efforts of the crew with lines to trees to hold the craft down to the speed limit and prevent wreck of the expedition in she rapids. The engineers concluded that the north channel was the Abe jas coming into the Pescador. Tie other forks were explored as far as the Lucy B could navigate, but all of them shoaled and were lost in the wide overflow, and even the Cocopahs could not tell where the old Pescador channel had been above the forks.
 The engineers and the Indians left the Lucy B in the small boats on Sun day afternoon to explore above the head of navigation and to find the break of the Colorado. They took provisions for four days. Eight men only could be carried by the small boats and Scroggins, Wright and Kelly had to stay by the Lucy B and l warp her down to the Pescador to (Continued on page A

Southern Pacific to Transform Local Yards by Numer-
 ous Extensions

A comprehensive campaign of eX- properties in the. Imperial Valley is to be undertaken this fall and winter by the Southern Pacific Railroad. While several valley points will be the scenes of activity, the largest development will be at El Centro where the plans call for an outlay of many thousands of dollars in new trackage, spurs and accommodations for handling the constantly increas- ial can be assembled, new tracks are to be laid in this city and the yard facilities will be greatly extended.
 The move is simply preparing of the way for a large industrial and warehousing district.
 Division Superintendent W. H Av- erill came to El Centro in his pri- vate car "Mirafores," Sunday, and spent1 Monday and part of Tuesday looking over the situation and making the final plans for the proposed i'm provements.
 To the north of the Y and paral- Telling tho present half-mile tracks along the valley road, are to be con structed two more storage tracks giv- ing a total of more than a mile of new tracks at this point These will be used as storage for cars to be used in the general valley traffic, this central point being deemed more convenient than any other.
 From point somewhere near the El Centro Melon Growers Associa- ton sheds, on the west side of the railroad, new track will run south erly along the west side of the pas senger station and extend to a point opposite the stock yards. This will be used as passing track for trains, and will be kept clear of standing cars,
 Between this passing track and the main line will be constructed sec tion to be used as a team track, from which cars can be loaded and unloaded into wagons. Ample space is to be allowed for turning and

First Valley Cotton Gi11ned
 and BaLed at EI Centre
The American Nile Company Formally Opens Its Plant Amidst Rejoicings of Spectators, Who Hailed Auspicious Beginning of Important
 NeD Lndustry---Jubilee at
 Hot Opera House

jubille in the evening at the Hot Opera House.
 The Imperial band was engaged and at 8 o'clock Monday night the opera house was well filed with people, who were glad to participate in this celebration of the beginning of a great industry.
 On each side of the stage stood d bale of cotton; at the center of rhe stage stood a mommoth cotton plant, grown on the ranch of E. E. Forester. Eoquets of cotton blossoms and open holls were placed on stands and at the front of the stage. Only cot ton was used in the decorative scheme and it was very effective.
 J, Stanley Brown presided at the meeting and gave very interesting talk, his remarks being full of en- couragement and faith in the ultimate outcome of the endeavor to create new and profitable industry for the Imperial Valley.
 Joseph R. Loftus. than whom none al'e more interested and enthusiastic, spoke along the line of the possibil- ities for the successful growing of cotton and the outlook for profits to be gained. He made the assertion that he firmly believed that within five years from today this valley would be growing all the Egyptian cotton consumed in the United States, and that the income per acre would be in the neighborhood of $100 to $2OO. But at the present the most of the crop in the valley was of the short staple variety and it were well to fig 1 ure from that basis. From close ob- Gervation he was satisfied the pres ent crop, which was grown without any previous knowledge as to the needs of the crop in the valley, would [ go as high as from one. and half 1 to two bales to the acre, and at the | lowest prices for cotton this would mean from $75 to $100 per acre for the short staple variety He touched upon the labor question and refuted the idea that this was going to be a drawback to the raising of cotton in the valley
 MT. w. H. Averill. superintendent of the Southern Pacific railroad spoke a few words to the cotton growers and gave them considerable encouragement, assuring them that when the cotton crop of the valley was ready for market, his railroad would do all in it's power to land it to market with the least possible delay. and from what he had seen yesterday he felt sure that the cotton industry here was going to assume large proportions and he rejoiced with the rest that the promise was so bright
 Further remarks were made by D. E. Forester, H. w. Moorehouse and w. E. Wilsie of much interest to the cotton industry, and excellent music furnished by the band.
