LIBRARY IMPROVEMENTS
Boards Plans for Purchase of Five Hundred Dollars Worth Of New
 Books This Summer.

The Fl Centro Public Library is be- coming recognized factor in the life of this community. Although it has been regularly open for only a few weeks, the interest in it has grown constantly, and the daily circulation of books at present runs from twenty five to thirty. About 700 volumes now constitute the library; but it is expec- ted that at the next meeting of the Library Board provision will be made for ordering $500 worth of new books.
 Through subscriptions and dona- tions the library is now supplied with newspapers and magazines for the reading tables. At present the room is kept open only during the day time from 9 to 12 and from to 5, but a plan will be presented at the next meeting of the board eliminating the forenoon hours and providing for the library being kept open afternoons and evenings, as in this way it would accommodate a larger number of pa irons.
 The board has decided to lease the room adjoining thee one now occu- piled so as to provide more space for reading tables, etc., and this change will be made at once.
 At the next meeting of the board it is expected that definite plans will be made regarding the beginning of work on the new Carnegie Library building.

THREE NEW TOWNS
 ON RAILROAD LINE Wilsie, Mobile and SeeIey Are Stations on Exten-
 sion from Fl Centro
Train Service to be Started in July By HoIton Interurban on Eastern
 Section of San Diego and Arizona
 in Imperial Valley. /

Track-layers of the eastern section of the San Diego & Arizona railway placed steel across the Brawley main this week and are pushing the work rapidly westward toward New River. They will finish their part of the job in about two weeks and surfacing will occupy another two weeks, when the road will be ready for traffic. The line will be operated, pending comple- tion of the system, as an extension of the Holton Inter-u urban, and it is ex- in the middle of July with two round trips a day between El Centro and the terminus at New River. A large combination car of improved type was ordered some time ago and is to be delivered early next month. 1t is a gasoline motor car, with a seating capacity of fifty and large baggage compartment, costing $12000.
 There will be three stations on the new line; one to be called Wilsie, just west of the Brawley main, one at Mobile, six miles west of Fl Gen. tro, and one at New River, where a town called Seely is to be located. The founders of Seeley are R. R. Crabtree, of Covina, and his associ- ates. They have secured 160 acres of land and eighty shares of water stock, and are preparing to put up buildings for all business enterprises required in a new town.

REPORT ON ROADS
Highway Commissions Recommends tIons to be Presented Next
 Monday.

The County Highway Commission will submit to its report to the Board of Supervisors next Monday, recom- mending the building of a north and south road from Brawley to Calexico by the most direct route, and an east and west road from Holtville to Noun tain Springs by the most direct route It Is estimated that the highways may be constructed for $475,0OO, and the commission will recommend a bond issue of that amount.
 By delaying it's report the commis- sion obtained terms for transportation of material from the gravel pits west of New River that make the highway project feasible. It will cost 65 cents ton to deliver road material at any point on the railroad in the valley, and there Is no doubt that the San Diego & Arlzona's eastern section will be extended across New River to the gravel deposits to facilitate the build ing of highways.

Method of Formation of Irri- gation District Explained
 By An Investigator
Settlers Can Own and Control Entire System and Issue Bonds to Pay For Works and Take Up Water Stock Supervisor Webster Outlines Fea- lures of the Plan.

A plan for organizing an irrigation district under the Bridgford Act, tc include all of Imperial county except Palo Verde and the Yuma Indian Res ervation, as suggested by F. s. Web ster, president of Mutual Water Co No. 1 and county supervisor.
 The Bridgford Act is the old Wright Irrigation Act amended and improved
 MT. Webster's suggestions are as follows:
 Vote bonds sufficient to take up all water stock issued by the different water companies, and put every sys- tenn in shape so that all land tribu. tary to every ditch may be irrigated and easily served.
 Take over the holdings of the c. D Company when the time comes, if we so desire.
 This would put every piece of real estate in the valley on the same basis, and make all share in the burden of bringing in the water, and keeping it coming. As it is now, the farmer is bearing the burden alone. All oth CT enterprises are not assisting, al though just as much dependent upon the water as the farmer.
 | It would make the water appurten- ent to the land, and give every acre of irrigable land a right to it's share of the water, and it would in no man her impair the value of our water stock On the other hand, it would place in the hands of the farmers for their present needs and use, the money they have now tied up in wat CT stock. It would possibly turn loose several million dollars in the valley and put us in a better condition if nanciallv than any other agricultural section of the United States. It would put us in position to own the entire system from the Colo rado River to our delivery boxes.
 There are some portions of the law that possibly should be changed to meet our conditions, for instance: Il might be wise to change the qua1ifi cations of the electors, to holders ot title or evidence of title.
 There should be some way provided whereby men of some experience would be at the head at all times, anG this plan would bring this about.

APPRECIATES SUPPORT

I desire to thank the many friends in the county who have interested themselvse in my candidacy for rail- road commissioner. I am deeply in- debted to them, and find myself ut. terly unable to voice my sincere ap- preciation for the untiring efforts that are being put forth to help me.
 To those loyal friends in Fl Cen tro and elsewhere who are organiz- Ing clubs in my behalf, I can only say that I will try, as I have tried heretofore, to justify their confidence

NOMINEES EXPOUND THEIR VIEWS Wallace and EShIeman Talk at Mass Meeting in Opera
 House at Fl Centro
Oppose Southern Pacitic's Political Bureau, But Are Not Hostile to Rail road-Demand That Corporations Cease Meddine With Government and Attend to Proper Business.

Candidates of the Lincoln Roosevelt League for nominations on the Re- publican state ticket appeared in the Holt Opera House El Centro, last Saturday night, at meeting of citi- gents called by the John M. Eshle- man Club. A. J. Wallace, candidate for lieutenant governor, and John M Eshleman, candidate for railroad con- missioner, were the only members of the party of league campaigners that caught the train at Los Angeles and kept the engagement. Hiram John son, Judge Works and the others miss ed one train and gave up the trip to the valley.
 The opera house was fairly well filled but no such crowd attended the meeting as would have been present had the original arrangement been carried out. J. Stanley Brown was chairman of the meeting, and Judge Cole, w. F. Holt and other rep resentative citizens occupied seats up- on the stage.
 MT. Wallace spoke for about half an hour on the purposes of the league and the prospects of ridding the state of the political machine maintained by the Southern Pacific. He had many good things to say about John son, Eshleman and the other candi- dates and made favorable impress sion upon his hearers.
 MT. Eshleman explained his own attitude toward the railroad and oth- CT corporations, making it clear that he had no animosity toward them as business organizations but was op- posed to their activity in politics and to the system of misrule imposed upon California by the machine op- erating under their name. He said he was confident that no real rail- road man had the least fear that he would be unfair to corporations if he DS 0lcCIcu Ooo SOluliio sioner, and that only the parasites of the railroad, posing as political bosses and anxious to retain their jobs were opposing him.
 MT. Eshleman declared that John son and Wallace held views similar to his own, were unselishly concern ed for the public good and were en- titled to the support of all citizens desirous of putting an end to machine domination in California.
 After the meeting, the speakers and the reception committee joined in the rodeo of Elks at the Hamilton ranch.
 Fl Centro was decorated in honor of the visitors and particularly in honor of MT. Eshleman, and every citizen, regardless of party, wore the badge of the John M. Eshleman Club which comprises virtually all the vot- CTS of Imperial county.

Washington. Oct. 25.-An angle" is
needed to finance the association
which Is endeavoring to teach every
man and boy in the United States to
become an expert with the rifle. The
National Rifle association. which is
governed by war department officials
and to which men like Colonel Roose-

ceives little financial aid from the
government but what Is needed Is an
endowment OF at least 100000. which
would bring sufficient funds yearly to
conduct the affairs of the association
and enable furtherance OF it's work.
The federal government has given
slight aid. Congress-. in the 100000
yearly appropriated for the militia or

of this amount should be used for rifle
practice. Congress also donated the

There Is considerable talk as to the
