Improvements Planned In All Valley Cities Indicate
 Active Season
Business Blocks and Extensions of Ice and Cold Storage Plants Involve an Expenditure by MT. Holt and the HoI- ton Corporation of Third of Mil lion Dollars.

In pursuance of his fixed policy to assist in the development of all of the towns of Imperial Valley, w. r. Holt has plans matured for building cam paign this fall and winter which will represent an expenditure of fully$333, O00. Every incorporated city in the valley will benefit by these operations
 One of the principal extensions of the Holton Power Company's inter ests will be the enlargement of the ice plant at El Centro. MT. Holt pro- poses to erect an addition to the plant which will extend to the south of the present building, and which will be eighty by 40 feet, A new thirty-five ton ice machine will be added to the present equipment.
 The sum of $150,OO0 is to be invested in the erection of cold storage plants at El Centro, Imperial, Holtville, Braw ley and Calexico. The large cold stor age plant will be erected in Fl Cen tro, on land located next to the Blinn Lumber Company's yards. During the past week MT. Holt has purchased from the town company a tract 15Ox3O0 feet in block 16 as the site for this new enterprise.
 It is proposed to erect plant capa- ble of storing carload lots of pro- duce and fruits, poultry and meats, which will supply the valley merchants with products in as fine condition as they can be found on the Los Angeles markets. Smaller cold storages will be erected in the other towns and these will be used as distributing stations for ice and as depots for the gather ing of valley perishable products.
 Plans have been prepared for the erection of a one- story brick business block on Second street, in Calexico. This will be 13Ox140 feet, and will cost approximately $30,000. It will have five store rooms, and it is prob able this building will be started about the middle of December. The site at present is leased to Edgar Brothers, who .have subleased to other parties. It is desired to clear away the present buildings by the first of De- cember.
 A one-story brick business block will be erected at Fifth street and Holt avenue, in Holtville, at cost of between $25,OOO and $3O,0OO This block will contain six stores, with a frontage of 150 feet on Fifth street and 100 feet on Holt avenue. It will be started about the first of December
 The plant of the Imperial Valley Gas Company, which Is another Holt cor poration, is in progress at Fl Centro, and within short time service pipe; will be laid for El Centro and Imperial, so that gas may be served to cus- torrsrs in both places early this win ter,
 Other plans for great development in this valley are under consideration, details of which may be announced soon, and the activities of MT. Holt and his associates bid fair to exceed this year those of any previous season.

ers in History of County.
BEST OF INSTRUCTORS
Miss Chamberlain, Prof. Adrian,
Pres. Mclean Here.

The teachers of Idaho county are
assembled in Grangeville this week to
the number of one hundred in one of
the most successful institutes ever
held in the history of the county.
County Superintendent Glanville has
left nothing nndone to make the in
stitute success. and as a result he
has assembled strong corps of in
structors, including Prof. H. A.
Adrian, superintendent of schools,
Santa Barbara, Calf, State Superin-
tendent Belle Chamberlain and Pres
ident James MacLean, of the State
University, Moscow.
From the first session of the insti-
tute the attendance has been the very
best and the deep interest manifested
has been surprise to the old instruc-
tors. On Monday evening the large
court room was completely filled to
listen to an address by Professor Ad-
rian on the interesting topic, Bur
bank" the horticultural wizard of
Santa Rosa, Calf, who is a personal
friend of Mr.. Adrian. The address
was illustrated with number of the
remarkable products of the California
genius. The address was well re-
ceived, as have been all of the lee
lures of MIR. Adrian.
State Supt. Chamberlain delivered
an excellent address before the teach
ers Tuesday. and has won many
friends by her visit to Grangeville,
both among the teachers ane citizens,
and she in turn has taken most kindly
to our people and little city.
A reception of the visiting teachers
was held at the high school rooms

cellent program was given, composed
of readings, vocal and instrumental
music and games, followed by the
serving of ice cream and an address
of welcome by Prof. Norman Adkin-
son.

entertainment and instruction of the
assembled pedagogues.

University, was delayed in arriving
and will deliver an address Thursday
night. Associate Justice Ailshie will
probably arrive here in time to ad-
dress the assembled teachers on Fri
day evening, the last day of the ses-
sion.

GRAIN RATES
ARELOWERED
Commission Lowers Rate in
Washington and N. p.
Passes il to Idaho.

As aresult of an order issued by
the Washington state railroad COM
mission demanding that rates from all
eastern Washington points be reduced
from 1914 to about Il cents, the rail-
road companies having decided to
make the same rate effective in Idaho
which will result in reduction of about
IA cents per bushel.
The rate from Lewiston to Port
land over the open river line is now
l7l2 cents per hundred, but the cut
made by the rail lines will be met by
the Open River Transportation COM
pany and while no definite traffic
charge has been determined it is ex-
pected l5-cent rate will be quoted.
The date for the reduced rates to
become effective has not been deter
mined but it is expected the new ar
rangement will be in force as early as
November | and large per cent oil
the central Idaho crop will be handled
on the cheaper basis. The reduction
means TO the farmers of this section
approximately S12, 500 for each mil.
lion bushels of grain shipped out oi
the country and to the eastern Wash
ington and central Idaho sections,
Immediately tributary TO Lewiston,
the saving will not be less thar
$50, 200.
The inactivity of the farmer in of.
fering his wheat for sale indicates ar
intention of demanding all that be.
longs to him, and his delay will bs
we'll rewarded through the reduction
in the freight rates, even though nc
advance in the market is made. TIL,
markets, however, are stronger anc
the regular quotations on bluesten
have been crowded up.
The outlook for the wheat marke
seems brighter and further advanc,
is not unlikely within the next few
days.
