WESTMORELAND
TO ENTERTAIN
VALLEY BODIES

This evening at $3.50 at the West
morland school house the monthly
session of the Associated Chambers of
Commerce will be held.
Those who will attend from this
city are President Coggins of the To-
cal chamber, j. L. Travers and Secre-
tary S. c. Leffingwell.
Westmorland is preparing a very
elaborate banquet and entertainment
for its guests, as it is one of the first
times that it has had the privilege of
entertaining the Associated Cham
bers.
Executive Secretary Joseph Sey-
mour of the chambers is in Los An
geles and will be unable to attend the
meeting this evening.
Of special interest tonight will in
all probability be the calling of offers
on the county fair site. 1t is known
that the Imperial city council expects
to make an offer of so acres with
10-year or 25-year lease. Whether the
city of Ell Centre will make an addi-
tional offer remains to be seen.
