the extent of the volcanic and ele-
mental disturbances in the vicinity

government officials had been I'm

which the porkers are fattened. For
a number of mysterious reasons other
conditions, which usually caused the
price to go down, seemingly had the
opposite effect upon the food this
time.
A resume of the market at the time
of the prices skyrocketing showed
that the demand for live hogs was
weak, and that they were left stand
ing in the pens daily with compare
lively no takers. 1t showed also that
the price paid for live hogs was low
er by nearly $3.50 per hundred weight
than it was six months ago when no
retailer would have considered asking
35 and 40 cents a pound for bacon.

GRAPE SEASON CLOSES
Sixty Carloads, Besides Large lndi- viduaI Express Shipments, Sent
 Out From Valley Points.

The Imperial Valley grape shipping season closed this week. The last carload shipment went out of Imperial Wednesday. Express shipments may be made for some time yet, but the bulk of the shipping is finished The corps of young women expert grape packers brought down from Fresno left valley points on their return trip Wednesday and Thursday.
 The season as a whole has been A fairly successful one. Sixty carloads have been shipped from valley points. the largest shipments having gone out from Keystone. One satisfactory fea- ture of the business this year has been the direct purchase of grapes accepted by the H. Woods Company, payment being made at the platform, instead of the grower having to await the un- satisfactory process of reports from sales on the eastern markets.
 The hot winds which struck the valley at the time the grapes were turning" caused considerable loss. Growers undertook to offset this dam age by free irrigations, and the result in numerous instances was that the grapes became too watery and many crates were rejected as being too soft to stand shipment to the eastern markets.

improvements are inspired to build them on the same scale We stopped at the finest of hotels, saw commodi- ous theaters splendid banks and all the other institutions of a thoroughly developed community. It Is only the few Los Angeles people wh make Hequent trips 10 the vt.l,y tEa: real lze how much is bcils done down there."
 It's country of rich soil with plenty of water and climate that will grow almost anything. Everyone Is pretty well satisfied that with the recent government appropriation of million dollars the control of the riv- CT and the canal intake will be se- cured from further dangers. The cot ton crop is another thing that prom ises big returns and I do not believe we have taken that seriously enough was inclined to doubt that it would become an important industry until saw what is going on and found that the men behind it have worked the thing out so that there is no reason why it should not be success.
 'It is well known fact to every business man of Los Angeles and es- pecially to those who have had any experience with public utilities that we are all hard-pressed to keep up with the growth of the country. There are great many directions in which the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Company is being called to make new investments and increase it's activities and it's territory. I think every man has sort of predilection however, for a successful agricultural district. It looks rich for the present and prom ising for the future. It promises to double it's population as well as to in- crease it's ratio of business transac- tions. These considerations are call ing out the very best efforts of the men interested in Imperial Valley.
 Our general plan of development of the telephone service in this dis trict which extends from the Tehacha- pi to Yuma, is to have first-class con- nections between all telephones of whatever systems they may be. Of course that is big proposition to work out and there will be some ob- stacles. At the same time the plan is progressing rapidly"
 MT. Seeley said it would be prema- ture to discuss negotiations that are under way other than those in the Im- perial Valley, which have been com pleted It is understood, however, that many miles of cross-country wires are to be built in Southern California in the near future and that inter-com- mucicatiOn between cities and towns will be highly perfected.

PLANNING FOR BAND CONCERTS
El Centre Business Men Propose to Provide Weekly Musical Programs
 For Entertainment of Public.

Through the activities of R. L.. Rumsey, president of the Merchants and Manufacturers Association, and F. w. Waite, who has done much to maintain the Fl Centro Concert Band in the past, pledges are being taken for the support of the band during the coming fall and winter. It Is pro- posed to reorganize the band early in the fall, and to secure if possible the services of Prof. Richardson, whose able services were highly appreciated last season. Prof Richardson Is now playing as soloist in the Coronado Beach band.
 It is proposed to give regular Sat urday evening open air concerts and it is probable that a second story pa vilion will be added to the fire de- partment house to be used as band stand.
 Fl Centro will have an unusual lot of good material for band during the ensuing season, and only the liberal support of the business men is re- quired to work out the plans for a successful musical season and an at tractive feature for the city.

LAYING CITY WATER PIPE
El centro's Municipal Water System Progresses and More Than Half of Total Tonage of Material
 Received.

While the unusual summer weather put stop to work on various enter prises, it has not affected the activi- ties on the new municipal water sys- tenn. More than half the tonage of pipe to be used in the distributing system has been received, and fully $50 feet of twelve-inch pipe has been laid during the past week. A total of more than 400 tons of pipe will be used in the laying of this system.
 Forty men are at work, and the trench digging and pipe laying began at the reservoir site, at the southeast corner of the Balcom tract, and has been carried northerly along the Date Canal road to Orange street. The crew is now laying pipe on Orange street to Fifth, and on this later street the main will run northerly to Com mercial street. The smaller pipe lines will be put in much more rapidly than the large ones, so that by the middle of the ensuing month the dis tributing system will be we'll along.
 Early next week work will begin on the excavation for the five settling basins, each of wtAch is to be 5Ox150 feet and eight feet in depth,
 There will be some delay in getting the steel tank and tower from the east, but this will not retard the use of the new distributing system, as 1t will be placed in commission as soon as 1t is in readiness and the settling basins are completed. The pumps will be connected directly with the pipes and will pump water into them from the settling basins until the tank and tower are erected

$3O,0O0 is involved in the sale of the cold storage plant to the Peck con- pany, and that considerable sum of money will be expended in still fur ther improvements at this place. The entire cold storage plant will be in readiness for operation early in Octo- Der.
 In connection with these develop ments barley mill is to be installed this fall in the large warehouse to the east of the Southern Pacific freight depot by the company pur- chasing the cold storage plant.
 Work on the El Centro Ice and Cold Storage Co.'s building is progressing rapidly. Contractor J. L.. Travers and his corps of workers are erecting a building of which Ell Centro may well be proud.
 The floor space will amount to STOOD square feet. The building will be equipped with an elevator and storage compartments will be afr tight. The outer walls are constructed of brick. Each interior wall consists of stud ding placed about two feet apart, ceiled with pine, this is covered with insulating paper which is painted with pitch paint; the wall is then ceiled at right angles with the other ceiling and painted. All floors are of cement. The Davis creamery is to occupy the south portion of the build ing, and the Peacock creamery will have 5000 square feet of space on the north side. A gasoline engine is situ- ated in house in the rear, ready to supply power in case the electricity runsshort. Pipes are being laid from the power plant to force hot and cold air through the building as desired.

Hardly a week passes that does not bring to Fl Centro some new phase of industrial or commercial develop ment, and the latest is factor of such importance that it's effect will be too extensive to be grasped at the present The El Centro Cold Storage Company, which concern is completing mann moth cold storage on property ad- retail yards, has sold the property to the Imperial Valley Mercantile Co.,, of Imperial, which concern will remove it's headquarters to El Centro early ill the fall, and will develop extensive business interests at this point
 H. L. Peck will be in charge of the company's business here, and it is probable that a general wholesaling business will be developed from this point, as this was the original plan of the El Centro Cold Storage Com panys management, and has also been the line of development marked out for the Imperial Valley Mercantile Company
 It is not unreasonable to expect the establishment of wholesale grocery and mill stuff business at the new cold storage plant within the next few months. The great advantage in shipping facilities afforded by El Cen tro will readily lend itself to this plan; and as this city is becoming the center of the darying interests by the establishment of three creameries here, and is gradually absorbing other commercial interests, advantages can be secured in making bulk shipments to and from this point.

 F. s. Webster reported to the meet ing that he had just returned from Los Angeles, where he had a confer ence with Judge Cole, Col. Holabird, c. K Clarke and Attorney Mckinley, and which resulted in Mckinley with drawing his objection to the work proceeding and Col.

Holabird during the interview stated that the receiver of the Cali fornia Development Company has to his credit the sum of $5O,OOO.
 Various matters in connection with these reports were discussed by the meeting and a motion was adopted that committee of three, including the chairman, W. E. WTllsie, be ap- pointed to interview Judge Cole and lay before him conditions as they were found to exist at the river, upon the return of the Judge to El Centro yesterday. The committee consisted of W. B. Wilsie, F. l.. Davis and E. E. Forester. Directors of Water Company No. 1, who were present also stated that they would send a message to Los Angeles, asking their attor- neys, Hunsaker & Britt, to come to El Centro in time for yesterdays con- ference with Judge Cole.
 The matter of the mutual water companies petitioning the court as an intervenor in the receivership case was discussed, and also the matter of petitioning that the receiver be in structed that moneys received from the mutual water companies as water rentals must be expended directly in the protection of the intake, and get ting more water delivered into the main canal.
 The subject of the formation of an irrigation district was referred to at various times during the meeting, and MT. Webster reported that his inspec- tion of the Turlock irrigation dis trict had convinced him that the plan was working well there, and that the country appeared prosperous. He stated that Judge Haines, of San Diego, would have comprehensive report on the irrigation district prob lens as applied to Imperial Valley ready to submit about the middle of August, and that this report would go into details of many phases of the matter.
 The general sentiment was that as soon as possible movement should be made for the formation of an irri- gation district, and that the people must come into possession of the ln- take and supply canals as soon as possible, even though they may only acquire these at present and have to lease the distributing systems of the mutual companies until later period.
