THAT TEN THOUSAND

! At the rate El Centre is grow
ing II will not be long before il reach =
es that ten thousand mark in popula
tion which the people have had II
view.
Several years ago a certain Los AT
geles real estate agent made featuI
of predicting the population of Los
Angeles for future years, and occa
sionally he was obliged to go abou
town raising the figures on his sign:
That will be the experience OF
Centro very soon. The goal of 1000
will not lay before us long, and Whel
that is attained we must place before
our eyes for the next incentive pop
ulation of 50,o00.
There are those who will think thi
q visionary dream, but the capital
a third of u million OF irrigated acre
must become a city of fully $1,000
people, and toward that point We
must advance with rapid strides.
The obligation that rests on El Cen
tro to- build toward its manifest
destiny" is one that cannot be shlrked,
but procedure should be steady and
careful, along lines we'll thought out in
ADVANCE. .-
Individual initiative can be depended
on to take care of many lines OF de-
velopment, but there are imperative
demands Which the people as whole
must meet The most important OF
these are an adequate sewer and
drainage system and filtration of do
nestle water. Following these there
is need for pavements.
1t is not surprising, nor is it out OF
the ordinary. that the first provisions
of a municipal water sys-
tenn and d sewer system should be
makeshjfts that fail to make shift for
long.
There is no physical reason why FL
Centro cannot be supplied with water
for domestic use that is thoroughly
filtered and as clean as that used in
any city. and until ii does so il viii
find itself handicapped in its develop
ment.
The situation of FL Centro is such
that the construction of a drainage
and sewer system must be expensive
but the importance of this work is
great enough to warrant its building
even at such expense
Given pure, filtered water. ample
sewer and drainage, and the field for
growth of the capital of the reclaimed
desert opens widely, and with this line
OF development We will be proceeding
regularly toward that destiny fo,
which Ell Centre must prepare itself

NEW STATE DEPARTMENT.

One Of the most remarkable innovation 3
in State matters to be proposed to the
present Legislature is now being worked
out by several of the farmer members,
together with Senator George F. Pierce,
of Milford. who is interested in the fer
tilizer business. One of the leading Re-
publican members of the House inter
ested is Represen tative Evans, who is State
Lecturer for the Patrons of Husbandry
The proposition is to establish Depart
ment of Agriculture and Horticulture and
State laboratory in Dover. construct a
commodious new building for the same,
have a permanent exhibit of farm pro-
ducts and the by.products thereof, and
have, probably on the second floor, the
State laboratory, in charge of the State
chemist and his assistants.
The whole campaign for such depart
ment has grown out of the unsatisfactory
workings of the State laws requiring the
analysis of fertilizers. Under DR.. T. R.
VOLTS administration as State chemist,
the fee was reduced to $40, but when
Professor Penny came here as State chem
ist, he interpreted the law to read that
every ton of fertilizer mixed for sale in
this State would be analysed.
This has stopped the mixture of home
fertilizers and it is claimed has "frozen
OUT many of the small concerns which
supply a particular kind of fertilizer,
to some farmers, but only in
small lots.
The remedy is, as now proposed, ton
mage tax, like that in operation in Nir
ginia Under that law, every brand and
mixture Offertilizer is analyzed, but if the
dealer only sells small proportion, he
pays merely small tax, but if he sells
much, he pays heavily.
This revenue, it is claimed, will be
enough to warrant the construction of the
new agricultural building and
The payment of all salaries and upkeep. I
The real estate men of the State, it is
claimed, are in hearty accord with the
move.

WOULD LOCATE Their
FACTORY AT MILFORD

A manufacturer Of shOvels, spades,
scoops, ETC.. OF Philadelphia, has made
proposition which if accepted will
bring a manufacturing business to Mil
ford, and give to q large number OF men
and boys steady employment. This
proposition is to utilize the water power
al the Haven Lake, better known IS
the Grier Mills, and in conjunction with
the present building used by Charles
A. Vaughn in the manufacture Of tools,
enlarge and make the new business
successful. The details Of the PROPOSE
tion are in the hands Of Mr.. Vaughn,
who will be glad to show any one who
may feel interested In the prosperity Of
Milford, and desire to see Its business
grow. The product to be manufactured
is Of staple articles. which are in ever
enlargiDg use all over the world and
the business must continue to grow.
The firm is a well known one OF Phila-
and the party making the pro-
posal has had thirty years experience
IN the business, so it is in practical
hands. Let the defunct members of
the Board Of Trade awaken enough to
look into the proposal; it may be the
means Of establishing q permanent
business here which will
cause the town to grow and be bless
ing to the working people, as has been
The Milford Lumber Company business
and the manufacture Of baskets. Look
Mr.. Vaughn up, and see just what there
S in this proposition.

BOYS PILE LOGS ON TRACK.

Two boys were caught last Saturday
in their second attempt to derail the
night passenger train to Lewes. They
are Chester Trultt and Charles Ian.

They confessed the act, and declared
that it had been inspired by reading
cheap novels. Their sole object, they
asserted, was to see what would happen
The boys, who were given a hearing
and held in 81 900 bail each for court,
told hOw4hey had placed cord wood in
the switches and frogs Of the rails one
afternoon last week. Fortunately q
heavy freight train went down before
the passenger, and ground the wood in
pieces without derailment Although
railroad men cannot understand why
the train was not wrecked. James Tarr.
the section boss at BrOsdkiln, found
the distractions and received orders to
watch for q second attempt.

ROMANTIC WEDDING.

It has just become known that George
E. WrOten, SOD Of Mr.and Mrs. William
Wroten, OF Milford, and who was for
merly Of this place, was married last
summer to Miss Marion Howard OF
Brandon Canada, under very romantic
conditions. While in III health last

Lake, n Y for treatment. There he
met Miss Howard and soon both OF
them decided that they wanted to

health they decided to get married and
keep the affair a secret until such time
as they both should recover July 20
1910, they were married nd bow
we'll they have kept their secret is seen
by the fact that not person knew q

told her mother few hours before her
husband arrived in her Canadian town
last week. Mr.. WrOten is a hustling
young saleman, and very well known
in this vicinity.

real estate broker, have sent out cata.
logues which are not only we'll edited,
but are illustrated with scenes in many
parts Of Delaware, which are repro.

speciality Of the Chronicle printery, and
we take pride in it. The object is not
for how little the work can be done in
having a book Of the character OF
which these are, but how attractive to
the people, and with the object OF
bringing the very best results for the
money expended. A dollar invested in
