Is it not evidence of the confidence

But notwithstanding the phenoni-
email sale of good pianos during the

necessary that we close these out as

abled to see some of the territory up
the valley, east of town. In some
fine orchards on the mesa land the
pear trees which we saw were loaded
with fruit; apple trees were not so
productive this year in the orchards
which we visited. On the lower land
the orchards are seen dotting the val
ley over. They are in all stages of
growth from the first year to the full
grown tree which has been bearing
fruit for years. About 60 apple trees
or 100 pear trees are planted to the
acre. Some orchards are planted
closer than other. Full-grown apple
trees in full bearing will produce
from 10 boxes q busheD up. Pears
will yield from 5 to s boxes per tree,
and some more than that when in full
bearing. Apples sell for from sl.23
to $1.50 per box, on an average.
Pears are higher. We were told that
in / 9O7 apples sold as high as S265,
and pears for as much as 81 per box.
OF course these prices are for the best
grade of fruit only.
1T must not be supposed. however,
that even the average returns come
to men who sit in idleness and pay
is the cultivation of the soil, and the
pruning and the spraying of the
trees. More and more they are learn
ing, too. that they must fight the
frosts to which the high elevation
sometimes exposes the orchards; and
they do fight these occasional frosts
by smudging, and so successfully that
they can absolutely protect the fruit.
THE region about Palisade Is prob
ably the most highly improved sec
tion of this territory. The bearing
orchards in that locality will sell at
prices ranging from 81. 900 to $4,000
per acre. perhaps some of them can
not be bought for less than $4,000
per acre. But, even at these prices,
ii is said that the orchards can be
made to pay.
The mesa land on the south side
of the Grand river across from Cliff
ton is now in course of development.
There is some very desirable land in
that locality. Provisions are being
made to provide an abundant water
supply for this new territory. Soon
er or later an electric line is quite
sure to go that way. The prospects
are that, in few years, magnificent
orchards will cover all that locality,
and that they will be largely in the
hands of the small holder. These
small orchards. when well cared for,
can be counted upon, one year with
another. to average a fair income for
a family. We are told they are do
ing 30 at present in other parts of the
valley"

According to visitors at the Leota

edy among the fish in the lake formed
by the high water last spring. AS
the water has evaporated shoals of
fish have been left upon the banks
until some persons estimate the dead
fish of various kinds by the wagon
loads. 1t is said that the fish can be
seen half out of the water gasping
for oxygen and dying for fresh water

Loeal Chamber Of Commerce Plans For Greeting to Los Angeles Folk Bound For Lsauna
 Dam.

An important meeting of the El Centro Chamber of Commerce was held at the City Hail. Wednesday night, and plans were made for fur ther publicity for the city through various channels.
 One of the most important matters discussed was the entertainment of the Los Angeles excursionists, who will swing down through Imperial Val ley on a tour of inspection while on their way to the Laguna Dam cele- bration at Yuma. This is to be an excursion in charge of the Los An geles Chamber of Commerce-and that means that it will be a large body with many representative men in the party.
 The excursionists will be in El Gen. tro about midday The plans for en- tertainment, after a general discus sion, were placed in the hands of a committee composed of Dr. J, C.. Blackinton, Dan V. Noland and C. E Paris, and they are to report their arrangements at meeting of the Chamber to be held on Monday eve ming at the City Hall.
 The entertainment committee re- quests every ranch in the vicinity of El Centro who can possible do so to report in town on Tuesday fore noon with teams and vehicles, to aid in giving the visitors short drive through the surrounding country
 The resignation of Lewis Haver- male as secretary of the Chamber was accepted, and Dan k. Shaffer was elected temporary secretary. At the next meeting of the Board of Di- rectors a permanent secretary will be elected, and it is probable that NIT. Shaffer will continue in this position.
