CANTAL0UPE GROWERS
Fai to Hold Commission Men Down To Straight Business
 Methods.

At a meeting of cantaloupe growers and distributors last Monday some light was thrown on the methods of commission men by Mir Reed, who spent some time in Chicago last fall and discovered why the grower re- ceived small returns from melons sold to the public at fancy prices.
 Mir. Reed advised the growers to demand from the commission men bonds for fulfillment of contracts and the names and addresses of buyers of cantaloupes. The distributors baked at giving the information desired, holding that it was their private busi- ness, but MT. Reed reminded them that they acted ostensibly as agents of the growers and the disposition of the crop was distinctly the grower S business.
 No definite conclusion was arrived at by the meeting, but it is probable that the growers generally will "sign up" as usual and let the commission men skim the cream of the canta- loupe industry in the good old way.

ADVANCES AVAILABLE
 TO COTTON PLANTERS
Arrangements for Loans on Customary Business Terms
 Through Banks

Farmers intending to plant cotton this year will have no difficulty in obtaining advances of money on the terms that prevail in the old cotton districts. Cotton seed planted by a responsible farmer is security good enough for capitalists having money to loan, and all the money required to finance the industry in the valley will be available through the banks. A strong Eastern firm has made ar engagements with the J. R. Loftus Co., for the investment of a large amount of money in advances to cotton plant CTS, and applications approved by the company will be accepted at the banks
 The eighth and last carload of cot ton for. the Oakland Mills is being made up and will go out today or Monday. Any smaller lots shipped later will not have the advantage of carload rates. Three hundred and fifty bales have been gnned up to date, and a few more bales will be picked before the end of the month The American Nile Cotton Co. esti- mates that about 800 acres have been picked over and expects to have pre- else figures soon, although many of the planters are careless about fur nishing data and have not taken the trouble to fill out and return the blanks sent to them by the com ,pany

ASK FOR LIBRARY BIDS
Twelfth Day of February Set as Time for inspecting Figures on Pro-
 posed Carnegie Building.

The El Centro Carnegie Library building project has been advanced another step this week by the ad- vertisement for bids for construction of the building. Bids will be re- ceived at the office of the City Clerk up to noon of February 12.
 The structure is to be one story and basement, on plans prepared by Architect Samuel B. Zimmer. The walls are to be of pressed brick, and interior pilasters and columns are to be of the best grade of artificial stone, with ground quartz finish. The floor is to be laid in mosaic tiles and maple wood. Metal cornices will be used, and the exterior wood work is to be of redwood.
 The name plates over the front entrance are to be worked in metal, and the front entrance cornice and brackets and all trimming on the ex- terior of the front entrance frame are to be copper covered.
 The building is to be lighted with two double windows and two single windows besides the main portal on the front three large windows on the east side and the same number on the west and four double windows in the rear walls.
 The front will be ornamented with an extension for the main portal sup ported by brick columns and heavy pillars, and this entrance will con tain flight of cement steps leading to the main floor of the library. On either side of the steps will arise ornamental bronze pillars bearing clusters of electric lights.
 The site for the new library will be on, the south side of State street west of Fifth street.

HOLTVLLES WELL
 DEVELOPES WATER
Two Strata of Saturated Gravel One Under Pressure, Found
 in Test Hole

That an abundant supply of water lies underneath Imperial Valley is the belief of the men who have had the drilling enterprise at the East Side town in hand. They believe they have good grounds for this opinion.
 Facts have now come to light in connection with the drilling of Holt villes test we'll that make interest ing reading. It is stated that when the 800 foot level was reached the drill pierced a water bearing stratum of gravel, and that it was of good quality The drill proceeded until it reached depth of HOO feet, when water under high pressure was struck, and the hole was put down several feet in this stratum.
 Then, in withdrawing the drill, a section down about 600 feet caved in, and the damage was so great that the hole was abandoned.
 A new hole was started near the first one, and yesterday this had reached depth of 800 feet, where the water-bearing gravel was again en- countered, But the Holtville people have used all the money raised by subscription, and the well has stopped at the S00-foot depth. The we'll will be tested at this depth, and it is probable that it will be pushed on down to the 11OO-foot level, where the high pressure was encountered.

EXCITEMENT OVER GAS
More Filings Made on New River Lands Believed to Contain Val uable Natural Reservoiirs
 of Fuel

Interest continues to develop in the prospect that Imperial Valley may have beneath it's silt valuable reser- voirs of natural gas. Several weeks ago the discoveries of gas issuing from uncovered sandstone dikes in the bed of New River caused numerous filings of claims, and the past week has brought about the additional fil- ingS on more than 1000 acres in that district.
 The place where the gas issues is four miles west and two miles north
 imperial. The syndicate, headed by Dan V. Noland, H. D. Noland and l.. s. Bower, has filed on 1900 acres and the other claims immediately ad- join these.
 Several trips have been made to the place, and holes have been sunk in the sandstone for a depth of six teen feet. The gas has issued in suf- ficient volume to be used in cooking It makes deposit of black soot on the vessels used, which is said to be an indication that it is not vegetable gas.
 Capitalists of Riverside have become interested in the prospect

Rights of way for the extension of the line of the Interurban railway west from El Centro to New River have been secured and 1t is probable that construction will begin early next month. The new line may be operated for time as part of the interurban system, but it is to be laid with S0- pound rail and will consti- tute the eastern section of the rail road that is being built from San Die go into Imperial Valley. MT. Holt will build the extension, but it is no se- cret that the line will be taken over by the interests that are behind the San Diego & Arizona project.
 Chief Engineer Kallright has been quoted by the San Diego papers as having fixed two years as the time to be consumed in construction of the road from San Diego to the point of
Imperial Valley press., 1910-01-22

connection at New River The east ern terminus of the. line will be El Centro for some years to come. In the future it may be found expedient to build eastward through the sandhills to the Colorado river, but the june tion at Fl Centro will give the new line direct connection with the East by way of Old Beach and also by way of the Inter California through Mexi- can territory and the slight short ening of distance obtainable by build ing through the sand hills would not justify the cost.
 This Interurban extension settles the question of the route of the San Diego & Arizona through Imperial Valley. The new road is coming straight to Fl Centro and it will stop at Fl Gen. tro where the Southern Pacific is put ting in side tracks, spurs and switches for a large junction yard.

WATER BOND ELECTION
City Trustees Pass Ordinance Sub hitting the Question to Vote
 of the People.

The Fl Centro City Trustees met in adjourned session at the City Hall on Tuesday evening, all members be- ing present except Trustee J. C. Blackinton.
 After a general discussion of the matter of allowing the storage of hay within the fire limits, the City Attorney was instructed to prepare an ordinance which shall place certain restrictions on such storage. It is possible that the amount allowed on residence lots will be limited to two tons, and that this must be placed within an enclosed building
 The matter of house numbering was also discussed and while no official action was taken, the various mem bers of the board expressed them selves in favor of this project being put into force as soon as it can be arranged, using Main and First streets as the starting point for numbers, and allowing 100 numbers to the block, with one number to each twen- ty-five feet of street frontage
 The City Engineer is to prepare a plan and submit it to the Board and the City Attorney for the prepara- tion of the necessary ordinance.
 The license tax ordinance came up for discussion. on the recommenda- ton of the City Attorney that it be revised, and the City Clerk was in- structed to furnish copies of the or
