CAPITAL COMES TO VALLEY
Lombard Company Prepared to Lend
 Money on Farm Property.

Following the good news of the ac- ceptance of surveys and the prospect of the immediate issuance of titles to Imperial Valley farmers comes the announcement that the Lombard In vestment Company has opened loan offices in every town in the valley. The company offers to loan money at a reasonable rate of interest on all patented farms and on all farms on which final receipts have been issued. There is practically no limit to the amount of money available to the set tiers through this source as the Lom- bard Investment Go. is allied with one or more of the big life insurance com panies of the East. The attention of the company was first called to the opportunity presented in the Valley for legitimate investment by the ar ticle on surveys and titles in the Inn perial Valley Press of December 19, and upon further exploitation by J. F. Jena of Fl Centro and w. E. Mor- ton of the Peoples Abstract and Title Go. they decided to begin operations at once. The El Centro representa- tive of the company is J. F. Jenal in the office of Johnson, Duman and Go. and he is prepared to do business at once

 Squatters and homesteaders who have actually begun reclamation and cultivation of land in the resurveyed townships have ninety days from Feb, 23 in which to make application for entry under the desert land act.

ANOTHER BRICK BLOCK
Two Story Structure With Arcade Ov- CT Sidewalk, Constructed of Clinker Brick, to Adorn
 Main Street.

Ell Centro's building operations con- tinue to show healthy growth and the indications are that the next few months will transform the appear ance of Main street by the addition of several substantial buildings. Good progress is being made on the excavation and foundations for the Bill-Miller block, directly west of the Hotel El Centro, on the north side of Main street, between Fifth and Sixth streets.
 Now comes the news that within a short time H. H. Peterson will begin he construction of a two-sory brick building directly west of the Bill-Mil- Ter block. Peterson's building will have forty-foot frontage on Main street, and an arcade extending over the full sidewalk width. This ar cade is to be of clinker brick, on lines similar to one erected the past season on the Zimmer block at I'm perial.
 The finishing touches were given to the first floor of the new Blackin- ton building this week and 1t is now occupied by the Delta Implement Company.
 The Thomas Beach building at the northwest corner of Sixth and Main streets, has its first story walls all most completed and makes a fine showing. The body is in cream col. ored terra cotta. and the trimming Is of pink blocks of the same material. The heavy pillars for the arcade, which Is to extend over the side walk on both the Main and Sixth street sides, have been begun. The building will be one of the most i'm posing in the Imperial Valley.

Fl CENTRO'S PUBLIC LIBRARY
City Trustees Take Steps to Estsb- fish Institution and Make Pro- vision for Next Years
 Maintainance.

The City Trustees at their meeting on Tuesday night took the preliminary steps towards the establishment of a Public Library for Fl Centro, to be supported by library tax.
 At this meeting a resolution was presented from the Ten Thousand Club, asking that special election be called to vote upon the question of making tax levy for library support. Phil D. Swing, as a committee of one from the Ten Thousand Club on li- brary matters, spoke of the need of official recognition of the public H. brary in order to secure the desired donation from Andrew Carnegie of funds for library building, and gave a report of the correspondence with MT. Carnegie on this matter. He also urged the necessity of the appoint mnt of a Library Commissioner by the City Trustees. 1;
 It was ascertained that the calling l of a special election is not necessary for the establishment of oao Public Library. and the Trustees adopted the 1 following resolution:
 Resolved, that at the next tax levy for the city of Fl Centro there shall be included a levy of two mills on the for the establishment of a public Library, and that the City Attorney be instructed to prepare an ordinance establishing a Public Library in Fl Centro." |
 This resolution was unanimously adopted. President H. B. Pearson was appointed Library Commissioner.
 At this meeting all members of the board were present with the exception of J. Stanley Brown, who was in Los Angeles, Ordinance No. 29 was amended so as to make the width of sidewalks On Fifth street, from Broadway to State street, nine and a half feet in- sead of eleven and half feet and the ordinance thus amended was adopted.
 A similar amendment was made in Ordinance No. 93. providing for ce- ment walks on Sixth street, from Broadwawy to State street, and this was then adopted.
 Ordinances Nos. 29, 30, and 32 were given their final reading and adopted. They provided for side walks as designated in The Press of last week, covering the central part of this city
 The City Clerk was authorized to advertise for bids for the construction of the Fl Centro sewer system, the bids to be opened on February g. It was decided that the contractor Is to be given three months time from the time of signing the contract for the completion of the work. The printing of 200 copies of the speci- factions for this work was authorized
 The Street Commissioner was au- thorized to employ men and teams to clean up Main street.
 The time for opening bids for the construction of a fire house was ad- vanced to January 12. The following resolution was offered by Trustees Pellet and seconded by Trustee Ham ilton, and adopted
 Resolved, That it is the sense of the Board of Trustees that the City Marshal be more diligent in his duties give more of his personal time to the same, and be more careful in appoint ing deputies, submitting the names of such deputies to the Board for ap- proval before appointing them"
 Ordinance No. 35 was introduced, read and laid over till the next meet. ing, February 12.

HOW TO PREVENT TYPHOID

During the next few weeks mary few
people in Virginia will develop typhoid
fever. All Of these people will have to under
90 a long Illness and about one in ten will die
as result of the disease. The summer cpl
denies Of the diiease usually begin to appear
about the first Of July showing that the
germs are taken into the system about this
time.
While some cases of typhoid will develop
in a climate like that Of Virginia, in spite OF
all preventive measures, yet large majority
of the cases can be prevented by the Obser-
vance Of few simple precautions. To pre-
vent the disease, the real causes must be I'M
derstood. In plain terms no person can con-
tract typhoid fever unless he swallows III
some manner some of the excrement Of per-
son who has or has had the disease.
This is most often done in water or milk
that has been contaminated with the germs
from a typhoid case but the excrement may
be carried 70 the food, or even directly to the
mouth on the feet Of flies that have fed upon
it, Sometimes the disease is contracted by
eating raw fruit or vegetables that hsve been
soiled with the germs, or oysters that have
come from polluted waters. Those who nurse
cases Of typhoid often contract the disease by
carving the germs into the month on the
fingers, which they have failed to wash after
waiting on the patient.
The two danger points in the country are
the well aud the dry closet. If these are safe
guarded the danger is rendered mucn less
formidable. Information regarding these
points is contained in the publications Of the
state Health department az Richmond and
will be sent TO any one asking for them free
