CITY AND VALLEY.

CITY AND VALLEY.
Weather Unchanged.-Every day
mercury continues to touch about the
80 degree mark, falling to about 55
during the night.
Some ClOuds.-This has been one of
the rare days in the valley in that
clouds have been hanging over the
country. This probably implies the
approach of another storm to the
coast from the north, where rain has
thus far been plentiful for this season
of the year.

Taken to Prison-Deputy Sheriffs
Stancel and Hendricks left Sunday
morning for the north with Jose Ma
cias, sentenced to three years at San
Quentin, and Antonio Sanchez, SEN
fenced to ten years at Folsom. The
two prisoners had been convicted of
the robbery, at the point of gun, of
j. d. Dyer, on the highway near Ca
lexico.
His Observation.-A local statisti-
clan declared that on week day, in
the heart of Ell Centro, there is on an
average throughout the day, in sight
at one time from one spot, $50 persons
and IS automobiles. y At some time
every day, it is~declared, these fig
ures have been verified, but cer-
tain it is that no town of equal size
in Southern California ever equaled
the activity to be seen here.

Paving Begun.-The work of laying
the pavement across the railroad right
of way on Main street was begun this
morning, and there is no doubt that
the work will be completed and the
strip of pavement be in commission in
time for the county fair, which begins
on the 10Th, sidewalks also being laid
across the right of way. The depot
will hereafter be much more acces-
sible because of the work being done.

Crops Growing Finely.+Gotton and
alfalfa and barley growers are alike
rejoicing over the splendid growing
weather that continues uninterrupted
ly. Cotton is still being made in mag
nificent shape in natures factory. AL
falfa, sometimes checked by cool
nights by this time of year, is still
growing finely. Early sown barley
is coming on in splendid shape, and it
is believed the acreage of early crop
this year is greater than that of last
season. Taking everything into con-
sideration, this is simply magnifi-
cent year for the farmer.

Makes DlScOVery.-In an article IN
the Calexico Chronicle, President Will
lard of Water Company No. 1, re-
veals the startling discovery that
most of the troubles of the valley
have been due to the influence of the
newspapers, presumably all being
equally guilty. This is rather discon-
certing to newspaper men who have
been struggling along for years in
what appears to have been vain eff
fort to render assistance. 1t is be-
lieved Mr.. Willard will amplify his
message and reveal in detail the evil
influence of the press of the valley.

They Came Back.-Years ago when
the valley was in the making and the
sidewinders and coyotes were being
first disturbed by colonization, one of
the real estate firms that did the big
gest business in this region was
Brown Brothers of San Bernardino.
Afterward they removed to Los An
geles and became interested in the
San Joaquin valley to which section
they have bestowed their chief ac
tivity for several years. Now they
are back in the valley, with headquar-
ters in Browley. Ed and Sam Brown,
the brothers who constitute the firm,
will be as active henceforth as any
firm in the valley. The former visited
Ell Centre today and his eyes opened
wide by the disclosure. ...
