hose wagon and the firemen available
in the vicinity would have been am
pie
The Cyclones stretched line of hose
to the rear of the BUILDING but the
stream could not reach the blaze. and
the company was dismissed The
Rhode Island Ones took line of hose
up the front stairway and the small
blaze was quickly extinguished. As
there was no need of ladders or hooks
the Alerts were Immediately excused
from duty.
The Inconvenience of suspendinQ
trolley and other traffic in High street,
by reason of lines Of hose stretched
across the street, as was the case at
the alarm of fire Thursday afternoon,
and during the morning while the
firemen were simply on watch duty,
is not necessary in case of fires
the west side of High street
This could not be avoided at the
Barber Memorial building fire, as there
is not a single hydrant located on
that side of the street, although there
are four on the opposite side between
Canal and Broad streets. The shift
ing of even one hydrant to the west
side of High street between these
points would do away with public in
conveience and not be detrimental to
the work of the f1remen.
The estimated losses to tenants of
the Barber Memorial building are:

ASSESSMENT VALUATIONS
JUMP IN IMPERIAL COUNTY
Gain Is A Per Cent Over 1909
Figures

According to the Imperial Standard,
the most amazing increase in assessed
valuations ever recorded in California
is made by Imperial county, with a
gain from $1,000, 900 to $4,000, 900 in one
year, a gain of a little more than A
per cent, says the Imperial Standard.
The preceding year this county ran
ahead of a number of other California
counties in assessed valuations, and
this year 1t will pass many others,
probably taking a position almost up
to the middle of the list of counties.
Another pleasing feature of the as
sessment rs that many pieces of prop
erty during the past year have received
the final certificate, and the land is
therefore assessed as real estate and
not as personal property under pos
sessory right. The result is that the
owners will not be compelled to pay
the taxes for several months.
Still another favorable feature of the
situation is the fact that there will be
a much lower tax rate. Not only Is
there more property on which to levy
the taxes. but the county will not this
year have to provide so many bridges,
and 1t Is thought a rate of $1.50 will
give ample revenue, as against rate
of S2.15 last year.
BY rapid stages Imperial county is
coming into it's own, and In few
years more it should have one of the
lowest tax rates in the state, on ac-
count of the compactness of the set
tied area of the county.

COTTON SEED FLOUR
MAY BRING FACTORY
Lotus Company Acreage in I'M
periaI Valley Will Supply
the Product

The once despised cotton seed which
was burned or buried to get it out of
the way, after having been advanced
to a cattle food and to a substitute for
lard in cooking, now appears as rival
of wheat itself as an article of human
diet The meat of the cotton seed,
properly ground and bolted. makes a
very fine -four. containing nutritive
elements to a greater degree than any
article of food in peas or peat. A
sample of bread and of ginger cake
made from cotton seed -four has just
been received by the Joseph r. LOTUS
company, through the courtesy OF
Arch Moore of this city, from Ennis
Tex, where the first mill is in opera
ton for the production of this kind OF
flour It was baked by Mrs. Dan Nc
Carty, who styles herself "the first anc
only purveyor of cotton seed foul
bread and cakes,'' and adds that it Ii
the most delicious, most nutritious
most palatable. and most easily di
gested food ever known"
This is particularly interesting t.
Southern California just now by rea-
son of the wonderful success achieved
in cotton raising here, for the estab-
lishment of such a branch of the in
dustry as the manufacture of flour
would not only employ more labor and
of a higher class, but would tend 10
increase the revenue of the cotton
planted for his product

USED CHURCH MONEY
 TO BUILD HIS HOUSE

q was very much interested some weeks ago to hear recounted the exper- fences of local officers in experiencing a negro preacher who was charged with larceny of lumber from his congregation" said Thomas Lea, local lawyer of wide acquaintance.
 "The case did not carry any particular points of interest but from the. time he was apprehended until his trial the antics of the negro minister were Imaginable to say the least.
 "TIe was arrested about 9 o'clock one night after a chase through his back yard, which was entered in by several deputy sheriffs. He was captured in an abbreviated costume and piled In to a buggy. When he was sent into the cor ridor leading into the "big rock he was spotted through the maze by another ne- gro preacher who was in jail. The negro lately arrested did not wish to let every one know he was arrested and when his fellow worker hailed him and inquired what he was doing in jail the negro min ister answered:
 'I am hear in the name of the Lord
 'The negro was silent minute, and then he came back with this one:
 Huh! You may be in dis jail in de name of the de Lord, but I ax you one thing-Didn't George Courston have something to do with it?''
 ..Courson or Couston, as the negro called
