 The Hotel Oregon came under it's present ownership and management last fall, at which time it was pur- chased by the California Mexico Land & Cattle Company. The company placed William Brandenberg, one of it's old employees, in charge, and he has recently been succeeded by the present manager, Chas. Morgan, also an old employe of the C-M. Go. An automobile buss Is run to connect with all trains and no expense has been spared to make the Oregon favorite with the travelling public. A generous patronage has resulted and the repu- tation the hotel has established will be retained so long as the present management is in charge.

HOTEL OREGON CAFE

If there is one thing more important than another to a community, it is excellent hotel accommodations, and Fl Centro has probably better res taurant and hotel facilities than any other town of it's size and age in the country. The Oregon Hotel is known far and wide as a modern building possessing every comfort for the stranger within the valley. One of the features which has won a high reputation for this well appointed ho- tel is the excellent cafe connected with it. Although conducted by A. c. Mil Ter, late of the Bristol Cafe, of Los Angeles, the management of the cafe co-operates in every manner with the management of the Oregon Hotel in making the service all that could be desired. MT. Millers long experience with some of the leading cafes of the country has been invaluable to him in conducting his present business. The most skilled chefs are employed in the culinary department, and the best the market affords is offered guests at the Oregon Hotel cafe Am pie accommodations are provided and snowy linen, shining silver, and pol ished glassware all bespeak the ex- cellent service offered guests and the cafe is a popular place for holding banquets and for social functions.

Plans and estimates are furnished and MT. Travers' accept ance of contract is a sufficient guar antee that 1t will be completed in accordance with all of the plans and specifications.
 Among the prominent buildings Travers has erected may be mentioned most of the handsome residences, the Oregon Hotels three story brick build ing, the El Centro Hotels two story brick and the annex, the Peterson block, the Bin block, the school houses the Methodist and Presbyterian churches, the power station, the laun- dry and creamery and practically all of the town aside from the Holt block At the present time, he has a force Of men working on the big addition te

PEOPLES ABSTRACT &
 TRUST COMPANY

While abstracts of title are desira- ble and necessary in every community
 they are especially necessary in I'm perial county owing to the fact that the original government survey, made along in the latter sos was made in perfunctory sort of way, so that when the great irrigation companies sought lines in the early settlement of the valley, lines were not to be found and the companies ran their own lines, which were not accepted by the government. The last gov ernment survey was completed about a year ago, finally establishing the lines. Though now the land is gen. erally known by tracts rather than by lines. The Peoples Abstract and Trust Company, was incorporated December 29, 1S97 Offices were opened in El Centro shortly after the town was laid out, and a branch is maintained in

THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK

El Centro may be said to be es- pecially fortunate in the character and stability of her banking institutions, and the First National Bank, of El Centro, although established less than a year has met with steady and healthy growth since the day of its incorporation, May 12, 1909.
 Organized with capital stock of 25,OOO, at a meeting of the directors, January 8, 1909, 1t was voted to double the capital and make 1t $50,OOO. The banks depositors register from all this section of the valley and the business of the bank is steadily in creasing as is evidenced by the growth of its deposits which are rapidly near ing the s2oO,OO0 mark.

]. L. TRAvERs, CONTRACTOR

Fl Centro's growth from a barren, uncultivated field in 1907 to a con-
 munity of over 2O0O population, the county seat and commercial center of the valley has been remarkable, and among the men who have played important parts in the building of the town is J. l.. Travers, the pioneer builder and contractor of Fl Centro. The first building erected on the townsite was built by J. l.. Travers, and the most prominent contractor in the county today is J. L. Travers. He has been so closely identified with the upbuilding of the town that the history of his success and that of the

made most gratifying growth the first year of its existence and it's deposits now approach the $15O,00O mark with about 600 depositors and are constant ly increasing. Some idea of the sue cess which has attended its founding may be gained when it is known that active construction is now under way on the erection of a handsome two story stone banking house which is centrally located at the corner of Fifth and Main streets and will be ready for occupancy in about thirty days.
 The building covers 25x75 feet of ground space, and the bank owns the adjoining property of the banks prem ises. The new building is to be pro vided with every safe guard, in the way of fire and burglar proof vaults, known to the most successful and thoroughly equipped metropolitan banking institutions.

Aid. Wing is having an ordinance
prepared for the licensing OF brewery

ing TO pay no license fee for their

is unjust that they should be able TO
sell without a license. except the
