 A special train of seven cars al rived in El Centro from the north q 1:30 D. m., bearing this party, a1 was met at the station by an al semblage of citizens. A score of la dies representing the Women's Te Thousand Club rendered the greeting of that body, and their spokesman was Mrs E. Pallister who in a speech of happy vein presented an offering of many clusters of Imperial Valley. roses and sweet peas, for the adorn- ment of cars, and half-dozen plump, alfalfa fed turkeys and many punches. of fine asparagus to grace the dining tables. Mrs. Pallister's address was warmly applauded by the visiteTs, ana then followed few momeRts of in Y formal greeting by the citizens gener- ally.
 The visiting party was composed of Judge R. s. Lovett, chairman of the executive board of the Southern Pa, cific; J. c. Stubbs, vice president; Julius Krutchschnitt, vice president; ! E. E. Calvin, vice president and gen. eral manager; A. B. Mcdonald, audf-sl nY.In traf iA manager; H. " Platt, district super intendent; w. H.

P lines in Mexico From Ei Centro the train proceeded to Calex- ico, and late yesterday afternoon re- turned through the valley, bound for Los Angeles. Early in the forenoon the party made trip over a- portioI of the Inter- California Railroad, | Mexico, by way of Yuma.

tor His purpose is to make a gen eral survey of the field and his in- formation will be presented to the Mission Board for the purpose of se- curing larger appropriations for mis- sionary work in Imperial Valley. Dr. Hughes is a brother of Bishop Hughes, and his first-nand knowledge of val ley conditions will doubtless be trans mitted to the resident bishop of the Pacific Coast.
 While Dr. Hughes will not be able to remain long in the valley, it is the purpose of the Methodists to give him a good general knowledge of the sit uation, and the following schedule has been arranged: He will arrive at Brawley on the early Thursday morn ing train, and will be shown the town and surrounding country in an auto mobile ride leaving there he will arrive at Imperial on the noon train where he will be entertained at lunch con, and in the afternoon he will be taken by automobile to inspect the country lying to the southwest. That evening he will speak at the McCabe Church, and on Friday morning he will be taken on trip through Heber and Calexico, and passing through Water District No. to Sharp's Heading, will be taken to Holtville for lunch. On Friday afternoon he will inspect the country to the northeast of Holtville, and will come to Fl Centro in the late afternoon.
 rriday evening a banquet will be rendered Dr. Hughes by the Metho- dists of El Centro, and later he will speak at the Holt Opera House.
 Dr. Hughes, who is one of the most prominent ministers in Methodism to- day, is pastor of the First Church of Pasadena. For eleen years he held the pastorate of the largest Metho- dist Church in Kansas City.

track toward the car. As the negro passed the car, the big foreman leap eu upon him and beat him to the ground with the heavy weapon, and then he kicked the prostrate man furiously in the head and body. A workman tried to interfere and was threatened by McKinnon with the weapon Mir. Holt then seized Me- klnnon and told him to stop his bru- tai assault McKinnon said he was from the South" and the negro had insulted him. Mir. Holt said he also was from the South, but had not been taught that it was part of the South ern code of honor to use a weapon upon a man small enough to be whip ped with the fists. McKinnon then asserted that the negro had insulted girl in the store in his presence the day before, but did not explain why he had refrained from punishing the man at the time and had waited until he got a deadly weapon in his hand
 The negro crawled under the depot platform and lay there until the car returned to El Centro. MT. Holt put the man aboard, brought him to town and sent him to the District Attorney. The District Attorney sent Amer to the hospital and issued a complaint against McKinRon, who was arrested and put under bonds.
 Almer's head was cut badly and he was severly injured otherwise, but he will recover He says he was over charged by the girl ia the store and refused to take the goods that he intended to buy Probably he made some impudent remark as he went out.
 MT. Holabird was greatly disturb ed by the scene at the station. He said it was the most brutal and cow ardly attack he ever saw. Me- Kinnon's explanation of his savage as sault upon the negro may be heard next Monday.

NEW STEAM POWER PLANT
Hoton Power Company Figuring o
 Costly Improvement.

The Holton Power Company's ex-s perience with the steam auxiliary dur ing the past few weeks has been so harassing that it is considering the ad- visibility of installing modern steam turbine outfit of about roo horse power capacity in place of the pres ent plant. The steam auxiliary was intended only for temporary service. in case of accident to the waterpowers plant, and it was not presumed that the main plant ever would be out of commission for more than a few days at a time, but the steam plant has carried the whole load of power and light for the valley for nearly two months, and it will be at least anoth- CT month before water will be turned into the power canal. There is no shortage of water, but dam is being built in the Alamo to conserve the waste water for irrigation, and until that is completed no large quantity of water can be turned into the Alamo
 It is not probable that another long tour of duty would be imposed upon an auxiliary plant, and a steam tur- bine outfit may stand idle until it rusts out or becomes obsolete, but MT, Holt is disposed to provide for the unexpected and he is figuring on a plant that will cost from $5O,OOO to $75,OOO, to be installed at Fl Centre at an early date.

 Last Tuesday, Receiver Holabird, w.. F. Holt and Engineer Clarke went to Meloland on the motor car to inspect the dam, and the first two waited at the station for vehicle to take them to the dam site.

 Farmers,
Increase in Cultivated Acreage lndi- cates Heavier Shipments This Year and Great Advance in Prosperity of the Greatest Irrigated District in America-Crop Prospects Good.

It is difficult to obtain precise data of the products of the Imperial Val ley, but from the best sources access sible the County's expert accountant has obtained data showing the carload shipments of surplus products from the valley during the year 1909. The following tabulation of such exports probably underestimates quantities in several important items, and in nearly all cases the values are based upon net returns to the producer rather than upon the market prices at point of delivery:

STORAGE OF PRODUCTS
Smons Company Offers to Build Brick Warehouse if Company will
 Lease it.

Warehouses for the safe storage of non -perishable farm products are needed at all the principal shipping points in the valley, and that need will be more apparent when the next cotton crop is ginned If the farmer could place his barley, for instance, in fireproof warehouse, he could bor- row money for his immediate needs on his warehouse receipt and hold his barley for the later market instead of selling at the season of lowest prices Storage would be a benefit to the farmer and the business of ware housing would be profitable to com pany engaged in it.
 MT. Jos. Simons, of the Simons Brick Company, offers to put up a large brick warehouse in El Centro and lease 1t on easy terms to any per son or company that will go into the business, Without doubt a company organized to handle the business could make satisfactory arrangements with the Simons Company for the erection of warehouses at all shipping points Se business men of the valley have
 cd their readiness to join in the
 atIon of such an enterprise,

MORE MONEY FOR FARMERS
Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Com pany Decides to Place Loans on
 Valley Property.

J. N. Russell, general manager of the Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Com pany, and Lee A, Phillips, associate counsel of this company, have been spending several days in Imperial Val ley this week inspecting the ranch lands, and they have been so favor ably impressed that the company will at once begin making farm loans on valley lands at reasonable rate of interest.
 Arrangements have been made for the company to be represented in an office to be opened in Fl Centro by w. J. Haneline, of this city, who for some months past has been it's field representative. Leroy Holt has also arranged to receive applications for farm loans through this company at the banks of Imperial, Holtville and the First National Banks of El Cen tro, of which institutions he is pres ident.
 During the present trip the com pany's representative arranged for the issuance of more than $35,OOO on land held by patent of certificate of title. and this money will be avail able for the settlers within a week The advantage of this coast company entering the Imperial Valley as a loaning factor will be that quick ac- ton can be had in getting the mon ey after the application is made.
 Press readers will do well to note the advertisement of Mir. Haneline in this issue.

.ARCADES FOR HOLT BLOCKS
Contract Let For Improvements in
 Four of the Valley Cities.

w. r. Holt decided last fall to build arcades or portals over the sidewalks in front of all his business blocks in the valley, and had plans made for steel and tile structures of that char acter. This week he let the con- tract for arcade work on his blocks in Fl Centro, Holtville, Calexico and Brawley to the Art Metal Manufactur- ing Company of El CenCro, and MT. Chaffey, of that company, at once or dered from Los Angeles two carloads of steeh Work will begin at once and will be completed before the ar rival of hot weather.
 The plans show structures similar to the arcade in Brawley which will improve the appearace of the build ings and make the stores more com fortable for occupants and the side walks more comfortable for the pub lic Experience proves the arcade style of building best adapted to eli matic conditions in this region.
 In El Centro the improvement will cover the entire south side of Main street from Fifth to Sixth, half block on each of the cross streets, and the frontage of the Holton Power Com pany building on the southwest cor ner of Main and Sixth.
