new REblANOs COMPANY
GETS BLAcNNToN PLACE
Bungalow Apartment Concern Trades
for Half Section of Land in North
east Part of FL Centre.

A 100000 trade in which Ell Centro
property figures has been consummat-
ed this week. 1t brings new Redlands
capital to Ell Centro and gives one of
Redlands' more recent corporations a
direct interest in this city. 1t also
paves the way for the subdividing into
small parcels of the acreage property
in the northeast corner of this city
DR.. J. c. Blackinton has traded to
the Redlands Bungalow Apartment
Company his 800 acres of land lying
to the northeast of the industrial dis
trict, and on which the Imperial VAL
ley Cotton & Oil Company's plant is
located. He receives in exchange a
property at Redlands valued at $780,
600. This includes ten acres in that
city, on which are ten handsome bun
galow apartments, arranged with serv-
ice from one central hearing plant and
from one electric system. Each bun
galOw has separate apartments for from
lWO W lllIce ldllllleo, anu tuty dl Z
rented to eastern high class tourists
who make Redlands their winter home
They are fitted up with all the mod
ern conveniences and are considered
some of the choicest rental properties
in Redlands.
Messrs. Karl Wells and J. Warren
Smith, officers of the RedlandS Bunga-
low Apartment Company, came to Ell
Centro this week with w. T. Bill, and
after an inspection of the remarkable
progress being made by this city and
an examination of the Blackinton prop
erty they closed the deal whereby they
become possessors of the acreage
tract
They propose to put the entire tract
into alfalfa at once, and later will sub
divide it into five and ten acre tracts
to meet the demand for suburban
homes convenient to the advantages
this city offers to residents.
1t is probable that DR.. Blackinton
and family will remove to Redlands,
where he will take personal charge of
the property he has just acquired.

livered to all in authority, prohibits
the wagging of Jacks jaws over the
dainty morsel of favored chicle, and
the gum trust may have to reduce it's
dividends in consequence. Gum will
no longer form any part of ships
stores or of naval stocks ashore.
Capt. William P. Fullam, former
commander of the Mississippi, is the
party responsible for the prohibition of
gum chewing, and gives the following
reasons, to-wit:
THE habit of chewing gum at train
ing stations and on board ship leads to
constant reports for chewing gum in
ranks, at quarters and at other times
when it is highly improper and un-
military.
IF men are encouraged to form this
habit on board ship the navy deliber-
ately invites them to do something one
minute, for which they may be pun
ished the next"
The absolute prohibition of the hab-
it, Capt Fullam says, is necessary to
the enforcement of good discipline.

beginning of work On the structure.
Thomas j. Douglass of Los Angeles
is to start work Immediately after the
cpemng of the new year on a build
ing 50x100 feet, directly north of the
First National Bank. One-half of this
building will be for the new postoffice
quarters. This will be brick struc-
ture.
In the same block, still further west
is the. lot on which S. Gordon Ingle of
San Diego will erect a substantial
busines building.
This is a pretty good starter for
1912. These buildings are all to be
erected in response to actual demands
from tenants, and the healthy condi-
tion of growth here is well attested
by this movement.
During the new year the residential
portion of Ell Centro is also certain to
make great strides. Already several
substantial residences are planned,
and at least another high-cl apart
ment house will be erected.

satisfactory one for the building rec

brought about the building up of the

Fifth and Sixth streets, with substan-

new buildings in the industriak dis

A suggestion comes from Calexico
which may add still greater zeal to the
Press subscription contest, to open at
Sunrise December 26. This is for each
school to get behind some particular
contestant and throw its entire infiu-
eDce for that contestant
In this way the contestant will be
greatly benefited, while the school
will get 80 per cent of all cash re-
ceived by it's particular contestant
1t is probable the Calexico high
school will adopt this plan and others,
district, primary, grammer and high
schools, are free to do the \same.
The plan is to select as the contest
ant representing the school some per-
son who is not in the school, and who
will have time to give to the contest,
the pupils boosting the work of their
representative:
Out of every dollar the representa-
tive of the school receives the school
will get 80 cents
When a person pays a contestant a
dollar for a subscription to be sent in
Imperial county for "a year, the con-
testant will give him a receipt for the
dollar, will pay 80 cents over to some
perso inn trust for the school, taking a
receipt, and will forward 20 cents to
the Press. If the subscription is to
go out of the county, the school will
receive 60 cents and the Press $1.40.
If the subscription is for five years the
school will receive $1.5O. If for ten
years the school will receive So.
If school should get ten ten-year
subscriptions the pupils would have

 INDICTED TWICE

Little Rock, March 29.-1wo separate indictments for first de gree murder were eturn . d against Stella Schneider by the grand jury which has been in- vestigating since Monday.
 One of the bills charges the woman with administering poison to her husband without his know ledge. The other grows out of her ass srtion that she entered in- to a suicide pact with Chris Schm- cider and that after he had swal- lowed poison she lost courage.
 The way the case stands now" saidProsecuting Attorney Robert L. Rogers, yesterday afternoon. Tt will do Mrs. Schneider no good to rely upon the suicide compact claim, as to enter into such a compact places a person liable to prosecution for first de- gree murder anyway. "

 ing the present week the Educa- tional Department expects to clean up the legislation in which

 started out 10 secure tre passage of three measures and one of them, the bill permitting adJa- cent districts to consolidate. has received tho signature of the Governor This biIlhas the tend ency to bring about the elimina- ton of the small districts. The other bills are for the creation Of a State Board of Education and
 for State Aid to High Schools. The first. providing board of seven members. for terms of seven years. to be appointed by the Governor. will be called up in the House this week for final pas. sages, and there is little opposi- ton to it. if any Forty-two other States have similar laws and 1t will give continuity to educational plans and growth. Alabama is the only other State that has no such Beard. and 1t has been a success wherever tried.
 The bill providing for State Aid to High Schools. however, may meet with some opposition. as it diverts a portion of the school to the purpose of aid ing and fostering high schools. It does not increase the school tax, does not affect the local levy. nor touch the general revenue. It will extend the privileges of to children of rural districts and small towns. provid- ing free tuition in any school re- ceiving State aid, and increasing the efficiency of all the schools of the State. It is expected that this bill will also be called up in the House for final passage this week.
