sALToN SEA ONIONS.
Imperial and coacheila Product to be Packed in Special Crates to Pre-. vent Confusion With Texas
 Crop.

The Imperial Valley onion will go forth this season with a distinctive marking. No more will the onions of this and the Coachella Valleys be sold as the Texas product. They are to maintain their place in popular favor with distinctive packing crate and a label to be known as the "Salton Sea Brand
 This is the plan of the Semi-Tropic Produce Company, which will handle the major part of the onion crop of the Imperial Valley and the Coachella Valley. This firm has adopted the use of the Anaheim crate for this sea sons onions. Heretofore the regular Drummer crate has been used, and the local onions have been confused with the Texas product, although they are vastly superior to the Texas grown onion.
 An advantage of shipping in the Anaheim crate is that the growers will have to pay six cents less for each crate than heretofore. This means twelve cents per hundred pounds, or about $3O per car. saved in the cost of shipping.

 But still some of the petitioners kept on kicking about the engineers charges until the board shut off the flow of oratory. Mir. Phelps was named as inspector by the citizens interested and was appointed.
 Inspector Phelps has examined the work complained of and pronounced it first-class cement and up to speci tications with the exception of the absence of foundation piers from some of the work on Broadway.

CARNEGIE LIBRARY
 ASSURED Il CENTRO
Laird of Skibo Offers Ten Thousand Dollar Building
 to House Books

Fl Centro will have a Carnegie Ii brary.
 This is considered settled fact. but just what the extent of Carne- gie's munificence will be is an open question. That he is willing to do. nate $10,000, under certain conditions. is assured; that he may donate s3 .0n0 is a possibility.
 On Wednesday, H. B. Pearson, pres and Library Commissioner for the city received from Carnegie secre- tary the following letter:
 Responding to your communica- tions on behalf of Fl Centro: if the city agree by resolution of it's coun- cl to maintain free public library at cost of not less than 5000 a year, and provides a suitable site for the building, MT. Carnegie will be glad to give $1O,000 to erect free public library for Ell Centro."
 The matter was taken under ad- visement by the various interests which have undertaken to secure a free public library for this city, and it has been deemed expedient to pro- pose to MT. Carengie that the city will provide a maintenance fund of at least $500 year provided he will raise the amount of his gift for ii- brary building to $15,O0O It is said that such propositions from several other California cities have been ac- cepted by Carnegie and that there is good reason to expect that he may add $5000 to his original offer.

NEW NATIONAL BANK
 AT THE COUNTY SEAT
Charter Granted and Organiza- ton Completed For the
 Fl Centro National

The Fl Centro National Bank, F. E. Fuller, President, and True Ven cill, cashier, will open for business in Fl Centro in about three weeks. Tenn porary quarters have been secured in the front of the building now used as City Hall. Later the bank will have splendid quarters of it's own on the corner of Fifth and Main streets, the site having been purchased a long time ago for the purpose.
 President Fuller, this week, re- ceived notice that all the requirements necessary in the organization of a national bank had been fulfilled and a charter granted, so that the bank will be ready for business just as soon as the necessary engraving and printing can be done.
 The Fl Centro National is capital ized at $30,000 and is fortunate in having connected with it men of ex- perience and influence. The bank will start under exceptionally favor able conditions and will add one more to El Centro's many successful enterpr ses.
 The bank has secured, as assistant cashier, Frank W. Wilson, formerly assistant cashier of the Western Ma tional Bank of Hereford, Texas. MT. Wilson is experienced and capable.
 Mir. r. B. Fuller, who will be presi- dent and head of the bank, is too well known to the people of El Gen. tro to need introduction. Before com ing to Imperial Valley he was res ident O fTeXas and for many years en- gagged in the banking business. For five years he was associated with c. A. F. Parker ill private banking business with a capital of $25, 5,00O, this business being conducted successful ly and profitably MT. Fuller and his associates then organized the Western National Bank of Hereford. Texas, of which MT. Fuller was cashier for near ly five years. The Western National, under MT. Fuller's management, be- came one of the strongest, most pop ular and successful banks in Texas. In writing of MT. Fuller, Joseph w. Norvell, National Bank Examiner says; MT. Fuller is reliable. honest and capable, He is careful conser- vative and uniformly courteous to all, making 1t a point to grant to all cus- toners any accommodation consistent with sound banking principles"
 El Centro is growing and the rich country which is subsidiary to 1t is becoming richer. The County Seat of Imperial County is big enough for two banks. if not for three. and ev- erybody will be glad to welcome the new enterprise. The El Centro Nal tional and the larger and older Valley State Bank will offer banking. fa0iII ties second to none In ImGf ! County. "

construction are lightness and effective steering facilities.
 The present form is light framework supporting saddle and a mast for the sail, and resting upon four wheels, one wheel on either side, @no one before and one behind. The two latter are of a larger diameter than the former, and all are far apart, as is the practice with au- tomobile wheels.
 The chief peculiarity in the device is the connection of the wheels with one an other. The rear wheel and the right side wheels are rigidly connected together, and the same is the case with the front wheel and the left side wheel. The two con- meeting bars are joined with each other by means of an axle or cross bar, the at taehment at each end being of a hinged type.
 A person sitting on the saddle rests his foot on this transverse axle, and by suit able pressure can alter al once the rela- ton of the wheels to the main axis of the framework This arrangement further more leaves his hands completely free for adjusting position of the sails or using a brake.
 The whole device has a certain light ness and elegance which will appeal proh- ably at first to the lover of sport. Con- tests of speed will involve but little of the danger accompanying competition with cycles or automobiles, but will afford play rather for the quickness and deft- ness required of the ''mariner" in utiliz- ing to the utmost surrounding atmospheric conditions.
 Experiments made with the new vehicle on smooth roads give good promise of It's availability, especially in flat regions, where no serious grades are to be encoun- tered

Paris, December 25.-tSpecial.) .)-While out in g motor car recently a woman, by her presence of mind and bravery in most tragic circumstances, probably saved the lives of her young baby and herself
 With her 4-year-old baby seated on her lap and her husband acting as chauffeur the woman suddenly noticed that the car was pursuing an, cratic course. She spoke to her husband, urging him to be more prudent. There was no response for he was dead.
 In an instant the woman realized the truth. She was ignorant of the mechan- ism, and could not stop the car. But with remarkable presence of mind she did the next best thing. Lifting her baby up she leapd out of the auto and dropped 1t on the roadway. Then taking the steering wheel she headed the automo- bile for a ditch, into which it ran and capsized
 The woman, who, with the corpse of her husband. was flung out. fortunately escaped with very slight injury. The baby was found unharmed
 The husbands death was due to heart failure.
