They have all soleinniy bound them

reject all advances which such females
might make, them.

masculine occupation at once and

Is given as to who the members OF

whether strict observance of the
rules by the members will act strongly
or not as an inducernent TO the ladies'

Marked improvement in business conditions, indicated by railway traf- fic, is reported by T. A. Graham as sistant freight and passenger agent of the Southern Pacific with head quarters in Los Angeles who was in El Centro this week
 Mir. Graham says the passenger movement between the East and Southern California is nearly equal to the record traffic of 1907 and away ahead of 1908. The effect upon bust ness generally in Los Angeles is mark ed
 Freight traffic on the Imperial Val ley branch has increased materially, especially outgoing traffic. Enormous quantities of hay have been shipped from the valley this year. and there has been considerable increase in shipments of other products. Incom-

BRICK YARD FOR FL CENTRo
H. H. Peterson to Remove Plant From HoltviIle to New Site South of
 Local Stockyards.

A brickyard with first class power equipment and capacity for turning out 25.0OO bricks per day is to be established at once in Fl Centro by H. H. Peterson. The first bricks made at the new plant will be ready for the kiln the first week in October. Work is to begin at once on dismantling the plant at Holtvlle, which is to be moved here.
 MT. Peterson has secured as site q tract of six and a half acres 2000 feet southeast of the s. F. depot, on what will be an extension of the stockyard tracks. He will erect a large drying shed 200 feet square, and install new machinery. From fifteen to twenty men will be employed.

the Delzura, Potrero and Campo re- glons, and thence on to Jacumba and Mountain Springs.
 The route is officially described as follows:
 San Diego and Imperial County Road"--Commencing at a point where the east boundary line of the city of San Diego intersects the south line of the cemetery, at the east end of Durant street; thence running in northeasterly direction through En- canto, Lemon Grove, Spring Valley and thence in an easterly direction through Steele Canyon, Jamul, Jamul ranch, Dulzura, Potrero, Campo, Clo- yer Flat and Jacumba, to connect with the system of highways in I'm perial county, on the easterly bound ary line of San Diego county, near Mountain Springs. This road Is 77.44 miles in length
 This route connects with others planned to run northerly through San Diego county, so that the traveller from Imperial Valley could find easy and direct ways of travel from the valley to coast points. Undoubtedly If this system of highways is con- structed, overland travel will make the Imperial San Diego highway the main travelled route from this valley to coast points.
 It is probable that August 3 will be the date set for the bond election for San Diego County.
 Within short time the Imperial County Highway Commission will have its report in reg ',1s M to submit to the Board of Sr' If this coun- ty This W clude & n3 for high way to coni<CI with the proposed I'm perial- San Diego Highway at Mountain Strings.

Litigation Over Control of C. D. Go Further Complicated by
 Damage Claims.

Many legal complications have aris- en in the foreclosure suit of the Southern Pacific Company against the California Development Company, in volving nearly $1,5O0,0O0. When the case was called in Judge Housers court in Los Angeles last Monday, A M. Jones and a number of ranchmen of the Imperial Valley asked permis- sion to intervene. There is already suit in intervention, brought by some of the stockholders of the de velopment company. to prevent fore closure.
 The new intervenors allege they have a suit for $450,0OO damages against the development company now pending in the Superior Court of Sar Diego County. They wish to join ir the present action in order to pre- serve certain rights. The court took the motion under advisement
 Owing to the conflicting interests and the magnitude of the issues in. volved, it is believed several week! will be consumed in the trial.

SAN DlEeo'S SYSTEM
Commission Makes Final Report and
 Date of Bond Election is Set

The San Diego Highway Commits sion has submitted to the Board of Supervisors of that county its final report on the proposed system of pub lie highways, This report provides for the construction of 44S.50 miles of roads, and to meet the expense it is proposed to issue county bonds in the amount of $1,250,000.
 San Diego County has an assessed valuation of approximately $31 447,5O with no bonded indebtedness. It has suffered from lack of convenient means of communication between its various sections, and the genera! be lief Is expressed that the bonds for constructing this system of highways will carry by a large majority.
 Tbo general system proposed ha9 been divided into twenty routes each separately shown on detail maps and profiles which have been submitted to and approved by the County Sur veyor of San Diego county.
 The one which is of paramount ln- terest to Imperial Valley people Is known as Route No. 16-San Diego and Imperial County Road" It's length Is given as 77.44 miles. It reaches Imperial County at Mountain Springs, running in a generally east erly direction from San Diego through

INDIAN POLICEMAN DIES
After Enduring Knife Wounds for Three Weeks Charles Escalante
 Succumbs-Body cremated

Charles Escalante, the Indian po- liceman on the Yuma Indian Reser- Vation, in Imperial County, is dead from the knife wounds inflicted about month ago by two Mexicans, now confined in the Los Angeles county jail awaiting their trial before the Federal Court.
 At first it was expected this would be case for the Imperial County Superior Court, because the assault took place on the track of the South ern Pacific, and District Attorney Eshleman was called to the Reserva- tion to conduct the preliminary hear ing; but later the men were turned over to the Federal authorities.
 Escalante was stabbed in the breast and abdomen and for days refused to submit to a surgical operation, but finally consented. He died the fol- lowing day. The body was turned over to the Yuma Indians and was cremated with their peculiar cere- monies. Escalante's house and per sonal effects were cremated with tho body. The ceremonies were witnessed by large part of the population of Yuma and by nearly all of the In dians on the Reservation.

HIGHWAYS PLANNED
 BY COMMISSION Complete System of Main and Belt Routes ln
 Valley
Surveys of San Diego Road complet- ed-Neiehbor County Proposes Bond Issue of More Than Milllon--Will Meet Imperial Road at Mountain Springs.

Engineer c. N. Perry, of the County Highway Commission, has his corps of Surveyors at work this week on the proposed route from CalexicC to Holt vile running through Water District No. '. About another week will be required to complete this survey, as difficulty has been found in getting a proper grade through the sand hills at the southerly end of the district
 MT. Perry has completed the sur veys for the proposed route from Cal exico to Brawley-the main highway for the valley-which is to pass from Calexico through Heber El Centro, Imperial and Keystone to Brawley. This route is nineteen and three quar- ters miles in length.
 Other proposed routes on which the surveys have been completed are the one from Imperial to Holtville, thir- teen miles in length; and the one from Ell Centro to Silsbee and thence south through Water District No. 5 to CaleXico. This route is twenty and a half miles in length.
 The next to be undertaken is one | to run northwesterly from Holtville to Brawley. Another to be surveyed is that from Fl Centro to Holtville
 All the field work has been com n;eted on the proposed route to con pect with the San Diego county high way at Mountain Springs. Three lines were run through the mountains to make connection with the San Die so road, but 1t is probable that the old route will be decided upon, as the others present difficulties which would make road construction very expen- sive. If the old route is used through | the Mountain Springs District, the 1 roadway will have to be raised from seven to twelve feet over the present one, to avoid the winter washouts ] that now make this route so hard to ! travel.
 | hS SouhIS i1iShNS Sy has been authorized by the Board oi l Supervisors to proceed with expert ments in road construction between Ell Centro and Imperial, on Imperial avenue, and 1t is probable that this much-traveled highway will be the first to be converted into a first class ! throughfare.
 While various methods of road con- 1 struction have been discussed, no def mite decision has yet been reached However, as the spirit of the pro. ceedings is to secure for Imperia County permanent system of first. class roads, members of the commis, sion are gravely considering the adop, tion of regular macadamized road. bed as the standard.
