broad fields of alfalfa and shipped his
stock here. He writes:
During the months of January. Feb
ruary and March of this year my cows
returned me $40 per month each,
which was more than they did in the
north. With the skinned milk I feed
a number Of hogs, which makes a
nice side income. I cut no hay, but

Cleaning and Pressing

Among the first class cleaning and
pressing establishments in the Imperial
valley that of MI E. r. Mitchell, locat-
ed next door TO the postoffice. should
not be overlooked by persons who wish
to have their old clothes cleaned,
pressed and given luster like new.
Mr. Mitchell is newcomer to Holt
vile and purchased his present estab-
liShment from Mr.. A. J. Diehl two
months ago. He is an expert cleaner
and presser and the class of work he
is turning out bids fair TO soon bring
recognition from the community and
build him up a large patronage.
Besides doing all kinds of cleaning,
pressing and repairing, Mr.. Mitchell
takes orders for the Carl Joseph Com
pany, the well known Chicago tailorS.

suits of last weeks primaries. AL
though 66. q bare majority of the 129
delegates, we're bound by the popular
preference to vote for delegate to the
national convention who should favor
the nomin alton OF Theodore Roose-
welt, q still larger majority of these
state deleg ates, estimated by the TAFT
men at IS, we're Taft sympathizers and
numerically these were able. to con-
troll the convention.
With q situation like this confront
ing them, the leaders OF the two camps
OF delee ates conferred until early this
morning and reached q provisional
agreement that eight of the sixteen
national delegates should be named
by the Roosevelt men and eight by the
supporters of Taft.
