Der of this company is star in his
line, but the appearance of Franz
Alderman, violinist, is the event OF
first Importance and no music lover
in Ell Centre should fail to hear him.
Mr.. Adleman is a violinist of more
than national reputation, and has been
heard all over the world He is at
once genius and artist; he possesses the
genius that plays. because il must, for
Mr.. Adleman scarcely remembers
when he did not play the violin, and
his artistic work is a result of years OF
study with the worlds greatest mas
tiers. Mr.. Adleman plays with elemen-
tai power, and cyclonic force, and at
the same time he brings forth from
his instrument delicate tones and
shades that seem like the breath Of
divinity. His repertoire is said to be
the widest and the most extensive, as
we'll covering the greatest variety
of any performer now before the pub
lie. He is gracious and generous TO
his audience, and it is not infrequent
that he is compelled to give as many
as six and seven encores to one num-
Der. In fact the entire concert is one
of rare attraction and no one in El
Centre should fail to attend.

THREE OLD BUILDINGS ON
IMPERIAL AVENUE, IMPERIAL,
ARE WIPED OUT BY FIRE

The oldest building in Imperial val
These buildings were on Imperial ave
nue., Imperial, located between Consers
New York Store and Stevenson Bros.
block. They were occupied by the
Farmers restaurant, in which the fire
originated; Deverceys bakery, the
American Clothiers' cleaning house and
the Hole in the Wall" a cigar stand.
The fire occurred at 1:10 this after
noon. and for a time it seemed that
the town might be consumed, as the
blaze was exceptionally hot, but the fire
service of the town is excellent and by
hard work the adjoining buildings were
saved.
One of the buildings burned was the
first frame structure erected in the val
ley, being the one in which Holt"Broth-
ers LEROY and w. F) began business
in 1901, which afterwards was sold to
w. d. Montgomery and then to the I'm
perial Mercantile Company, later pass
ing through a succession Of occupancies
when the original store was purchased
by stevenson Brothers and housed in a
brick building.
While individuals have undoubtedly
lost in the fire of this afternoon, the
town as a whole is gamer for this
removes almost the last of the old
frame buildings which have stood in
the way of high class Improvements,
and which al the same time have men,
aced the better buildings of the town.
Imperial has suffered from a num-
Der of fires, each of which has wiped
out one or more of the old structures,
until today it is about free from
them as any town in the valley, though
originally, being the first town in the
valley, there was an unusually large
percentage of such buildings.
The buildings were owned by Bar
ney Bracket and l. w. Gleason.
Part of the stock of goods of w. D
Conser & Sons New York Store was
moved into the back yard and tn
awning was burned, but oVDerwise no
damage was done to that property.

FINE GASOLINE CAR IS
EXPECTED HERE TONIGHT

The Holton Inter Urban railroad ex-
poets the finest gasoline car ever
brought to the valley to arrive on the
freight train this evening and be at
once put in commission. 1t is hoped
to have the car ready for a trial trip
to Dixieland tomorrow morning
1t is $4,000 car, all of steel, and
was built by the HalI-Scott Motor Car
company of San Francisco, President
Scott and Master Mechanic Hall of the
building company having arrived here
to install the car, as it is the first car
of its type to be built.
The car is equipped with a six-cylin,
der engine, electric generator for light
ing purpose and many new features,
and will add vastly to the comfort of
the public travelling on the Holton In

WILL BUILD BEAUTIFUL
APARTMENTS FOR TOURISTS

1t has been the conviction of many
residents of the valley that in due
course of time this section would be
one of the favorite resorts of tourists,
the climate of the valley for eight
months rivaling the best the world at
fords.
Now DR.. b. F. Mertzman of San Diego
has come here to make the first start
in making provision for the tourist
class. To this end he has bought lots
in the Len Rey tract, on the south side
of town, and has had plans drawn for
fine apartment house to cost abont
$4,000, which will be built around q
cement paved court, in which a foun-
tain will be placed and where palms
and other potted plants will be used for
decorative purposes.
The apartments will be strictly mod
ern in every respect, and it is the pur-
pose to provide quarters for those who
wish to lead quiet lives while enjoying
the valley.
DR.. Mertzman is satisfied that from
San Diego alone he will obtain a large
number Of patrons of the apartments,
as there are many persons there who
will desire to come to the valley 10
pass a good portion of the winters.

but it is the solemn calm of a great

awaits the results of the diplomatic de =

very satisfactorily.
While there is very little hope in well
Informed circles that Servia will alb
stain from securing a port on the Ad-
riatic at the expense of Turkey, it Is
thought Austria may be appeased b.
the concession Of the Sanjak of Novipa
Zar, or contingent territory. In fact
the Cologne Gazette a semi official
journal, asserts that this is the hidden
purpose of Won Berchtold's war threats
Austria" says the Gazette, sis in no

General Won Moltke was asked today
how the German army compares with
that which destroyed the Austrians at
Sadowa and the French at Sedan.
The army of the empire was never
better prepared to fight all Europe-it
necessary" the field marshal replied
Stores of ammunition have been con

Officers and men are confident of then
ability to defeat anything like equaI
numbers.

tel De Vile. bearing huge French tri-
color. The crowd was dispersed by

cry throughout the province annexed
to Germany.
The French army is said to be in u
perfect state of preparedness.
Officially, not much credence is given
to the reports of NJ. Sazanoff's willing
ness to permit Austria Hungary to in
wade Servia unmolested. Such a STEP

The Servian government has not di-

HOVv to Gather Them

Ones success in vote gathering de-
depends entirely upon individual capa-
bilities. The opportunities to get them
are unlimited, and each ones success
is measured by the amount of con-
centration on the task in hand. Forge
ahead is the hub in the wheel of cam
paign progress.
Immediately on entering the cam
paign you should let all your acquaint-
ances know Of your candidacy, and
pledge them to save you the readers
coupons, and give you their subscrip-
tions. 1t is unwise to put off until
tomorrow what you can do today, and
to delay letting your friends know you
are in the campaign is a mistake, for
some other candidate may secure the
promise of their aid in the mean
time.
The majority of our readers are go

appears the initial list of the candi-

most residents of the vicinity. The
character and standing Of those who
have. entered is beyond a question,
which is very pleasing to the Press.
Thus far there is a comparatively
small number of entrants, but other
names will be add ed to the list in the
days to come. If you are not enrolled,
see that you are by tomorrow. 1t is
not too late to enter. Nominations
NAV still be made 50 send in yours.
The fact that a neighbor or friend
Of yours has become a candidate should
encourage you to enter. What another
can accomplish, you can. Votes are
not hard to get. Indeed, if a candi-
date were fortunate enough to get
votes from half of the people called
on during the campaign, they would
have twice the number needed TO win

Good Roads Instead Of Bad Ones.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS OF PerklnS
county, South Dakota, and Adams
county, North Dakota, have started an
agitation for an interstate highway
extending the full length of the two
counties, along the section line divid-
ing the two Dakotas. The residents
of the two counties argue that under
the present system, it is sometimes
extremely difficult to secure concert
ed action by the road authorities OF
the two counties to keep the road on
the section line, which is also the state
line, in decent repair. Accordingly,
the legislative representatives OF Ad.
m county, in the North Dakota
state legislature, and Of Perkins
county, in the South Dakota legisla-
ture, will work for the passage of a
law in each state, providing that the
road on the state line, from the east
ern to the western boundary of the
two states, a distance altogether of
366 miles, be made an interstate high
way, kept in repair by a special appro-
priation from each state.
The supporters of the movement ar
que that it would produce a magnifi-
cent highway, which would serve as
an object lession in good road build
ing. They point out the fact that
there are 81 townships on each side
of the state line the entire distance,
making 1872 separate township boards
that must be consulted, under the
present system, before concerted &C.
ton toward uniform road improve
ment can be secured, and 16 county
boards, eight on each side the line,
to be consulted before bridges can be
built. 1t is planned to introduce two
bills worded identically alike when
the legislative bodies of the Dakotas
assemble next winter, and experts are
now engaged in working out plans
