STATE EXPERIMENTAL WORK
Walter E. Packard Comes to Imperial Valley to Gather Data and Make Plans for Studying Local
 Problems.

Walter E. Packard, representative of the State Experimental Bureau, conducted under the auspices of the State University, came to El Centro, Thursday, to take up the work in this valley planned by the Board of Re- gents of the University as promised by Governor Gillett.
 MT. Packard will make his head quarters in Fl Centro, and will open an office here for the gathering of general information regarding Imper- ial Valley problems in agriculture and horticulture. He expects to visit all parts of the cultivated districts and make personal investigations, so that when the time arrives for the location of an experimental farm in this valley, plans will have been evolved that will be of much benefit in advancing the work.

TWO MEN SHOT UP
Drunken RrawIer Stopped With Shot.
 gun and Rancher Hit in Lea.

Caster Blasovit ran amuck on Christmas day at grading camp in Water District No. 8, using a pickax as a weapon. He was full of bad whiskey. He injured William Vim mer and Jack Chambers, and just at that time Harry Witherow drove up and attempted to quell the trouble, when he was attacked by Blasovit. Witherow had shotgun in his wag- on, which he drew on the man, and as Blasovit continued to advance with his weapon, Witherow shot him, the charge striking the man in the side. He was brought to the Central Hospi- tai for treatment, and will recover. He was placed under arrest and is in charge of a deputy of the Sheriff's office.
 On Thursday another shooting oc- cured three miles northwest of Braw- ley. s. K. Holcomb, who is lessee of the Peter Joachum ranch, got in a controversy with Joachum over po- session of the land and shot Joachum in the leg. He is out on bail, and will have a preliminary trial next week.

DESERT LEAGUE GAMES
Caexico Disbands and Leaves Five
 Clubs to Fight For Pennant.

The Imperial Valley Baseball Leagut is to continue with five clubs. Cal exico, after being defeated by El Centro, 10 to 1, Saturday. withdrew. Holtville, strengthened by Ames, Will Hams and Mundorf, shut out Braw- icy ? to o, Sunday and defeated Yu- ma to ?, Saturday. Imperial won a hard fought eleven inning contest from Brawley, Saturday and defeated Yuma Sunday. Nagle pitched well, but poor support in left field lost him the game
 There will be two great games in Fl Centro this Saturday and Sunday. Saturday, Holtville, with big Jim Wiggs in the box and strong team behind him, will endeavor to pull back the league leaders. Sunday Brawley will play Fl Centro in El Centro. It is probable that Tomas son, Brawley's crack left handed pitcher, will do the twirling.
 There will be meeting of the man agers of the league, Monday at ? p. m. in Imperial. All the managers have been notified to meet Presi- dent Kline and discuss the advisa- bility of playing two games, Sunday and Saturday of each week, and to re- arrange the schedule, which will be necessary, as Calexico has with drawn from the league.

HOLTV|LLES FIESTA
 A MERRY CHRISTMAS
Great Crowd Entertained With Lavish Hospitality By People
 of East Side City

Holtville's Christmas fiesta was the biggest, most successful and most enjoyable good time" ever pulled off, in Imperial Valley. The attend ance was estimated at anything from 5000 to 5000 people ,and the statis- tics of the commissary department justify the larger figure. The peo- pie of Holtville invited all the valley to make merry with them and there was no flaw in their hospitality. Ev- erything was absolutely free and no catch-penny devices were tolerated. Even the high school pupils could not get concession to put up a booth and sell candy to. help out their ath- elite fund. The barbecue was a ban quet. Hundreds of roast turkeys, thousands of pounds of beef and nut ton, fifty gallons of olives. barrels of cranberry sauce, about thousand real homemade mince pies an inch thick, bushels of celery and fiXings too abundant to enumerate were served in cafeteria fashion by all the pretty girls in Holtville and consumed by the jolliest crowd that ever assembled on the desert Vaughn Azhdarian was chief of the barbecue, and he is a "cCrdon bleu."
 There were so many good events on the program that the crowd hardly knew what to give it's attention to and some of the sports had to be omitted. There was to have been trap shooting, but the crowd could not be pried loose from the field where the broncho- twisters were riding outlaws and cowboys were roping goats. There were horse races, tilting at rings, bal loon ascension, high dive and a ball game between the Holtville and Yu- ma teams of the desert league. Yuma was beaten by five to one. The high diver made bad jump and struck on his back in the tank. The wind was knocked out of him, but he was saved from drowning by bystanders and was in good condition when he arrived at the barbecue. A cowboy, who dragged a goat with his rope across the field was arrested prompt ly, which action was approved by the crowd. No other unpleasantness marred the fiesta. The trap shooting and the turkey shoot were postponed to later date when a day will be devoted to sport with the guns
 Holtville has reason to be proud of her fiesta and of the efficient work of Phil Brooks, Dave Williams, Azhdar- ian and other members of the com mittee of arrangements. The people of Holtville and the ranchmen of the district paid for everything and spar ed no expense to make merry Christmas for all corners. Even the hoboes that hastened to Holtville by brakebeam and box car from all the Southland were stuffed full of turk ey before they were hazed out of town. It was estimated by the com mittee that not less than 800 of the wandering sons of rest attended the fiesta

 The plant here will manufacture metal ceiling, side walls and imi- tatlon brick siding, metal shingles. mission-style tiles, cornices. etc. It has contracts ahead for large amount of work, and the popularity of this metal for building purposes in Imper- ial Valley gives prospect of the build ing up of another important indus try in El Centre
