Rev A. ". Williams of the Presbyte-
rian church against two or three
pool halls of this city, respecting GER

picion, therefore. G. w. Nixon, man

Rev A. w Williams, and by any other
person or persons entertaining the
slightest suspicion OF the lawfulnuess
of the manner in which the business

EUCALYPTUS GROWING. IS
A COMMERCIAL SUCCESS
Such is the Verdict of Ex-County Clerk
D. s. Elder, Who Has Fine Plan
tation in Water District No. g.

Mr.. and Mrs. D. S. Elder were in Ell
Centro Saturday from their ranch in
Water District No. 8, to which they
retired when Mr.. Elder completed his
term as county clerk.
Mr.. Elder said that his eucalyptus
grove of forty acres is making an ex-
cellent growth and that he is con-
vinced that growing these trees for
timber is a commercial success in I'M
perial Valley.
He has had men at work recently
cutting out timber for two miles of
fencing on his ranch. The trees are q
little more than two years old, and
the posts secured are from four to
ten inches in diameter. Next year Mr..
Elder will cut out every other row Of
trees, in order to give space for the
others to expand.
The oranges on the Elder ranch
have been doing well this year and
have yielded heavily. It is probable
that more will be planted this season,
possibly tract of twenty acres.
Recently the Elders sold their home
place and they have erected a four
room cottage on Their std d;;oiEing ranch
in Water District No. g. In this deal
they received ten-acre orange grove
near. Riverside, but they intend to
continue to make Imperial Valley their
