CONCENTRATING ON COTTON
Loftus Company to Erect Office Warehouse and Compress at
 EI Centro.

Joseph R. Loftus is closing up his various land deals and projects in Los Angeles and arranging to concen- trate the energies of his company upon the cotton business in Imperial Valley, with headquarters in El Gen. tro A contract for the construction of an office building on the northeast corner of Main and Fourth streets has been awarded to Jasper Travers, and in October the Loftus Company will put up large warehouse on the adjacent lot for the handling of cot ton-planters' supplies of all sorts. The office building will be 24x67 feet, constructed of hollow tile and cooled by a system of water evaporation and ventilation. The warehouse will be 1OOx15O feet The company also in tends to install compress, to pre- pare bales for foreign shipment, on land near the cotton mill site, at a cost of $35,000.

to get the water to their land is an eloquent testimonial to their appre- citation of and their faith in the ef- fectiveness of the Brfdgford Act.
 We inquired as to Lne effect of allowing ali legal voters to have a voice in the election of the district officers, and were assured that very little attempt was made to manipu- late the elections. Usually the off, cers elected, were among the most competent taxpayers, and were elect ed, by those not interested in the irri- gation problems.
 'In conclusion, we would say that the law seems to operate to the satis- faction of the various communities and no objection is raised to it. The local management of the district however, is in no more competent hands than the most or our mutual companies, and some objection is made to the management, especially in time of water shortage.
 "The district plan affords a means for raising larger amount of money than could likely be raised any other way, and we see no reason why it would not be a help in solving the problems now confronting us, provid- ing there are no legal obstacles that cannot be overcome.
 We must realize, however, that in proposing an irrigation district to cover the entire valley, we are taking up the question on a much larger scale than has been attempted else where, and should seriously consider whether it might not be better to form about three districts with our river and mesa forming the natural boundaries, such districts all to be interested jointly in acquiring and conducting the water from the Colo rado river to a point of division in the valley"

WILL SOON BUILD CHURCH
Large Building to Arise at Fifth and
 State Streets Next Month.

Officials of the State Street Chris t1an Church have decided to begin building operations on the new church edifice on September 12. The build ing will be under the supervision of Contractor Stone, and will be done by days work.
 The foundations for this structure were laid early in the spring, but it was thought wise to discontinue fur ther operations until fall. The need of a commodious church edifice is felt by the denomination, however, and the officials have decided that it should be finished as soon as possible.
 The building will have a frontage of sixty-five feet on State street and will extend 100 feet on Fifth street The main entrance will be at the cor ner of these streets, where a tower will grace the building.
 The auditorium will be fianked on S1oI 1hu WCoI oluco Uy Ouuudy SCuOUl class rooms, and these will be so ar ranged that they may all be thrown open to form a part of the auditorium on occasion of large assemblages The building will contain besides the auditorium a pastors study, choir room, five class rooms two dressing rooms and committee room.
 The church will have about thirty feet of frontage on State street, to the west of the new building, and tentative plans are formed for the erection of an airdome building there on for use in summer seasons. Suffi- cient space is also left to the south of the church, with frontage on Fifth street for the erection of a par sonage.

E.

GOOD SHOWS IN PROSPECT
Theatrical Managers Decide to Con tinue Wyatt Circuit of Southern california-El Centro May
 Benefit.

At a meeting of theatrical mana gers, held in Los Angeles last week, it was determined to continue the Wyatt circuit in Southern California. Mir Wyatt died in Los Angeles re- gently after a brief illness, and the continuation of the circuit was in doubt until this meeting occurred.
 Will c. Wyatt, son of the deceased manager, will be the booking agent. He will continue his contract with w. F. Holt for the opera house at Redlands. The other larger towns of Southern California on the circuit are San Bernardino, Riverside, Pomona, Santa Ana, San Diego and Santa Bar bara. While Fl Centro was on the circuit last year, only few shows and those of mediocre quality, were sent to this place.
 Under the new arrangement for the season of 1910-11, the attractions booked give promise of Imperial Valley folk being able to see some good performances at their home opera house. While no definite de- tails are concluded, it is expected that at least a portion of the attractions will be sent to El Centro, and the management here seeks a booking ot at least two good shows per month.
 Among the attractions booked for the circuit are Blanch Walsh, Prince of Pilsen, Virginia, Travelling Sales man, Third Degree, Three Twins, Lillian Russell, Henry w. Savage's Gay Huzzar Company, Mile. Modiste, Polly of the Circus, Love Cure, Girl in Taxi, Arcadians, Max Figman, Time, Place and Girl and others of this class.

READY FOR TREE PLANTING
Ten Acres of City Sewer Farm Pre-. pared for This Purpose, Says
 Commissioner Hamilton.

The most interesting feature of the meeting of the City Trustees of El Centro, on Tuesday evening, was the report of Sewer Commissioner w. O. Hamilton that about ten acres of the city's sewer farm have been leveled and are now in readiness for tree planting during the ensueing fall. It is expected that more land will be put in shape for this purpose, so that within another year the city may be the owner of a young eucalyptus forest.
 At this meeting of the city trustees all members were present. The min utes of the meeting of July 26 were read and approved.
 A communication from the Septic Tank Company was read and ordered tabled.
 The trustees discussed best meth ods of testing the city pump, and the matter was continued for further con sideratiOn.
 Various bills against the city were allowed and the city clerk was au- thOrized to draw warrants for same.
 The Board adjourned to meet at 1880 o'clock on Wednesday,, August IT,

City Engineer H. B. Pearson, Jr., states that there is no reason to ex- pect any delay in the completion of the municipal water system by Sep- tember 15 He believes that by that time the formal test may be given the system, and that immediately thereafter it can be placed in service.
 Good progress has been made the past week on laying of the mains and distributing system. Contractor Fol- som has placed in the trenches 900 feet of twelve-inch pipe; 400 feet of ten-inch pipe; HOO feet of eight inch pipe and 1900 feet of six-inch pipe. The force of laborers is now engaged in laying six-inch pipe in the resi- dence sections of the city.
 H. H. Peterson, who has the con- tract for excavating and construct ing the series of settling basins, has been delayed in this work by trouble in getting hold of the necessary rivited steel pipe to conduct the water from the Date canal to the basins He will start a score of men at work on the excavations for the five settling basins early next week, and will have them completed in ample time for the tests in the mid dle of September.
 The two engines for the pumping by September 5. They will be given their official test on August IS.
 Imediately after the new system is placed in service, citizens will be expected to make connection of their properties therwith. The city will charge a fee of one dollar for inspec- tion fee and use of tapping machine, and the property owner will also have to pay the actual cost of material and labor used in making the connections with the new system. All work is to be done under the inspection ot the water superintendent.
 As the city will not have sufficient work to keep an organized corps of laborers employed, it is expected that the City Trustees will advertise for bids for making water connections for a period of one year. These bids would be on the basis of so much per foote, so that property owners may clearly comprehend the exact cost or making water connections before the work is undertaken.
 The city has now been in posses sion of the municipal water system a little more than one month. Under the old system, now in operation, the income will little more than pay the operating expenses. Under the new system it is expected there will be large increase in the use of water, and the water department will be en- abled to make certain charges which will be to its advantage, but for which service no charge is now made.
 It is probable that as soon as the new system is in use an ordinance will be adopted compelling property owners to connect their residences with the sewer system. This has not been insisted upon heretofore be- cause of the general shortage of water for eawer duShine
