BARRACKS FUND GROWS

Capt. c. D. Stiles, who is in charge of the Salvation Army work in I'm perial Valley, reports progress on the assembling of funds and securing of subscriptions for the purpose of erect ing permanent barracks in Fl Centro. It is the purpose of the Salvation Army to make this town it's headquarters for the valley work, and to that end it is desired to erect a building which shall be suitable for public meeting place and also quarters for the work CTS.
 Within the past week Capt. Stiles has secured subscriptions amounting to more than $2OO, but he is anxious to push the matter so that the build ing may be erected before the advent of hot weather. He asks that any per son in Imperial Valley who is willing to help in the Salvation Army work send either cash or pledges to him at Fl Centro.
 Capt Stiles expects reinforcements to arrive soon from Los Angeles, to assist him in holding street meetings in the various valley towns and in other work undertaken by the Salva- ton Army

NEW BANK BUILDING.
EI centro National Begins construc.
 ton of Block on Main Street.

Work on the new two story build ing for the Bl Centro National Bank on the corner of Fifth and Main streets was begun Tuesday The building will be one of the most attractive in the valley, the front to be of ornamental granite faced stone. ~There will be supporting pillars extending over the sidewalk on both Main and Fifth streets, so that the second story will be twelve feet wider than the first.
 A large ornamental stone plate bearing the inscription "The El Cen tro National Bank will be placed on the frol.t of the building, which will be ready for occupancy early in March.
 The interior of the banking rooms will be high class and up-to-date in every respect Safety deposit boxes in several sizes will be provided for customers and every convenience for a large banking business will be provided.
 The El Centro National Bank also owns the two adjoining lots and it is probable that in the near future two more two-story buildings will be erect ed, one facing on Main street and the other on Fifth street. Each of these buildings will be 50x75 feet and will add much to the appearance of the Fifth street corner.

PROPOSED LAND LAW SUITS THE GOVERNOR Says Bill Is Just And Will Urge Enactment By
 Congress

It would seem to be simple mat | ter to make the records of the land of flee what they purport to be-prima facie evidence of the legal status of an entry accepted by the government and there can be no plausible objec ton to requiring the government to keep faith with the citizen who takes tract of worthless desert, spends time and money to reclaim it and makes it productive, and complies in good faith with every requirement of the law. That is all there is in the bill for the protection of bona fide settlers that has been sent to Wash ington.
 Governor Gillett sees no objection to the proposed bill, but he does see that the land office might conjure up an imaginary objection. This is whaC the Governor says:
 December 31, 1909. Allen Kelly,
 Fl Centro, California.
 My Dear Mir. Kelly:
 Your letter of December 18th en- closing the Act referred to has been duly received. 1 have read the same and really can see no objection to it. excepting that the Government might make the claim that where an entry has been made by a person, in fraud and upon false affidavits, and no patent has issued, that no other person could become possessed of the land, or get title through this fraud ulent party.
 Of course, where a person, in good faith, buys the right of an original entryman, and goes upon the desert land, does the work required by law from the original entryman-that is, plants trees, digs ditches, and such other things as the law requires, he should be entitled to a patent for the land, just as much as the original entryman would have been entitled to it had he acted in good faithA
 The idea or the law Is to encourage men to go upon the lands ana re- claim them. If this has been done then the purpose of the law has been met.
 I will gladly do all I can to a7sist in having this bill enacted into law, not only because of the justness of i,, but because it will help the people in Imperial Valley to get patents upon their lands upon which they have worked and spent their money. Wishing you Happy New Year, am,
 Yours very truly,
 J. N. GILLETT.
