Seattle-Butter will advance 2 cents
per pound for this week, jobbers at
last being compelled to yield to the
diminished supply of cream and the
conditions that have long prevailed in
other large distributing centers.
There has been considerable cheap
butter on the market, one lot of 300
cubes being offered, but without sale,
around 22c, cube basis. This grade
serves but the one purpose of demor-
alizing the market without accom-
plishing any perceptible price changes.
The failure of the cream supply has
forced on firmer tone, and the out
look for next week, with still further
reductions in butterfat is steady.
Several sales of 1913 hops were re-
ported, the first business of this kind
done for some time past. The Ste
phenson lot of A bales, and 59-bale
lot at Hubbard changed hands at IL
cents. There was rumor that two
large blocks of Independence hops, one
amounting to 1400 bales and the other
600 bales, were sold. The price was
reported at IA cents, and the deal was
said to have been negotiated at Lon
don. No business is passing in the
1914 crop.
There was heavy supply of nearly
all kinds of fruit on the street and
business was brisk.

EUROPE PREPARED
No Hope for Peace Seen in New

Countries, Trains Halt and
Censorsnips General.

London - An extraordinary council
of ministers held at Peterhof, accord
ing to St. Petersburg dispatch to the
Times, was confronted Saturday night
with modified situation, resulting
from assurances by the German am
bassador, following messages ex-
changed between the Russian emperor,
the German emperor and King George.
The impression among the ministers,
the dispatch adds, is that Germany is
disposed to bring influences to bear up
on Austria to resume diplomatic con.
versations on grounds acceptable tc
the other European powers, and there
seems some hope of compromise.

High School Notes.
(By Thomas r. Wilson,

The cafeteria, which serves an ex-
cellent 15-cent lunch every noon, with
dessert for 5 cents extra, will on Fri
! day prepare a chicken dinner, with
cranberry sauce, celery, pickles, bread
and butter and cocoa, and with plum
pudding for dessert, in honor of the
near approach of Christmas. This will
be served at the regular price.
Parents and friends are welcome to
take lunch there at any time, but are
especially invited to come on Friday
and to attend the program at,1:15.
The classes had their regular meet
ings this morning. The Senior class
voted $25 for dance, to be given
Christmas night. There was much dis
cussion as to whether to have dance
or a party and finally it was decided
to give a dance, with games provided
for those who did not dance.
The Junior candy committee report
ed to the class that it had taken in
about $1S on the three candy sales
and that about SO of this was profit.
The Freshman class had short pro
gram. Rosalie Oldham sang solo
and Marjory Brewer gave reading.
Professors House and Maskey, who
visited the schools of Imperial, Braw-
ley and Holtville last week, reported
in teachers meeting that they en-
joyed themselves, were well received
and yet were well pleased to come
home again.

Succumbs to Fall-Says the Calex-
leo Chronicle: The sudden death of
A. P. Hess last Thursday morning
came as a great shock to his family.
Mr.. Hess was the father Of Mrs. r.
L. Glasby. He came to Calexico last
February in hopes of benefiting his
health. Although he seemed to be
failing for some time, he was able to
be out of doors and would sit for hours
in the sunshine. A few days before
his death he fell in the yard. A ply
sician was called, but could find no
i'll effects of his fall other than a gen
eral soreness. He was able to dress
himself each morning and sit in his
chair. Tuesday evening he walked
across his room and seemed to have
recovered from the effects of his fall.
Wednesday morning he did not rise
by himself as usual, but expressed a
desire to be assisted to his chair. Be
fore he was seated death struck him
and he never regained conciousness,
passing away after twenty hours. Mr..
Hess was a pioneer of Minnesota and
lived most of his life in that state.

FIRE CAUSES
SLIGHT DAMAGE

Fire at noon today in the building
Of the gas auxiliary plant of the Hol-
ton Power Company was caused, it is
believed, by sparks from pipes leading
from the gas generating plant that
feeds the plant engine. This threat
oned serious damage at the rear of
the building. Prompt action on the
part of the firemen prevented further
spread of the Flames and the blaze
was eXtinguished with only a slight
loss.
When discovered, the blaze on the
roof had spread only slightly, but
sparks from the exhaust pipes had
set fire to the easements in the lower
part of the building, and from there
had spread rapidly. From the case
ments the blaze was communicated to
the inner part of the tool room, where
q quantity of oil was stored. The
flames spread rapidly and at the time
Of the arrival of the fire truck the
exterior Of several Of the barrels was
blazing. The connection of two sec
tons of hose enabled the firemen to
reach the blazes in both parts of the
building almost simultaneously and
the flames on the exterior Of the bar
rels were extinguished before the oil
caught fire, preventing what would
probably have resulted in a serious
conflagration. The loss, it is said, is
only slight.
