DEVILS CATCH UNI
FRIDAY BACK LUCK
FOR LEE WING

CALEXICO, Sept. S.-Lee Wing,
highly educated and wealthy Chinese
merchant of Mexicali, well versed III
American customs-iust how well versed
will soon be apparent-has for many
wears longed to visit the United States,
that wonderful country of which he had
heard so much and knew nothing from
personal experience.
IT has been his habit for many years
to stroll down Heffernan avenue on the
other side of the border and gaze long
inglv and refleetively across the imagin-
ary line separating him from his heart
desire.
A few weeks ago when Calexico was
made a port of entry for Chinese mer-
chants and students, scientists and pro-
fessional men. Wing was Informed that
at last there was way open FOR MN
to achieve his ambition and make a
visit to the. big country north of the
line. He at once began arranging MS
affairs to take trip through the coun-
trv on a tour of observation, to visit
some of his boyhood and family friends
in Los Angeles and San Francisco ana
points further up the Pacific coast. HIS
business affairs in order he made apph-
cation through the attorneys of the
Chinese Association, of which he is a
member, to the State Department at
Washington for a merchant S permit
to travel in the United States.
The wonderful bit of paper arrived
in Mexicali last night, and Wing proud
" displayed it to his Chinese, Mexican
and American friends and stated that
in the morning he would go across the
line and drive his automobile up through
the Imperial Valley and visit friends
in FL Centre and Brawley. Then Sun
day morning he was to start on three
months tour of the coast by train.
Early this morning Wing appeared
at the border line, but just before he
drove across, where the American immi-
grafton officers were ready to give him
a pleasant welcome, he stopped at his
bank to transact little business. The
big calendar on the wall attracted his
attention. "Friday, Sept. 81 it read
in big, black type. Instantly Wing s
mouth dropped, and he turned TO go
back to his store.
"What's s the matter, Wing?" he was
asked. "Thought you were going over
into the United States?"
"No can do, today was the grave
answer. "Friday, bad luck day. Devils,
clatch 'um. Go tomollow.'

data relative to the problems confront
ing the early pioneers.
Mr.. Waite showed a novel booklet
issued in 1909 by the Carey and Waite
Land Company of FL Centre, of which
he was the Junior member. This book
let was sent out to prospective settlers
and contains some wonderfully fine
photographs taken by Mr.. Waite.
To comparative newcomer, these
old periodicals were mighty interesting
and prompted Mr.. Waite to talk of the
old DAYS when FL Centre was mere
baby, and the Press representative to
ask numerous questions. As Mr. Waite
is interested in trees, he was asked to
tell about the layout of the present city
park. He gave the following account
of the creation of the park:
At the time w. L. Holt started oper-
ations in Ell Centre, he provided a large
settling basin for city water at n point
west of the railroad tracks and north
of Park street, which it was believed
would settle the water question for
several years. The new city grew so
quickly however, that in a short time
there were 4 series of settling basins
>ertending all the way from the rail
road tracks to what is now $ighth
street. Later on, the city purchased
the site of the present water company.
They were graded off and under Mr..
Waite's direction, planted to grass and
trees, thus providing place where the
people could 60 for rest after a
strenuous day 5 work, and according to
Mr.. Waite, the park was much more
popular in the old days than it is today.
The pictures in the old books show
the streets of FL Centre unpaved and
without sidewalks, and there were few
lights at night according to Mr.. Waite.

VALLEY GROWTH
SHOWN in MAPS
OF PAST YEARS
Commissioner Finds 1904
Map of Valley with Many
Interesting Facts

In cleaning out an old desk today,
r. w. Waite. county horticultural com
missioner, found a map of Imperial
Valley printed in January 1904, which
compared with modern maps shows the
growth of this community better than
any tables of dry figures.
At that time the northern limit of
the irrigated district was just beyond
Brawley; the eastern few miles east
of Holtville;, on the south, the inter
national line, and on the west, Silsbee
or Blue Lake rs it was then known.
The map shows the towns of Brawley,
Imperial, Heber, Calexico, Holtville and
Silsbee. Ell Centre at that time OF
course, did not exist. When one re-
members that today the northern limit
is INLAND, the eastern, several miles
east of Holtville, and on the west to
Dixieland, it as easy to visualize the
territorial advancement which the val
ley has made. The southern boundary
Of course remainst the international
line.
Mr.. Waite also unearthed a copy of
the Los Angeles Sunday Herald of Feb
ruary 20, 1910, which devoted almost
the entire magazine section to de-
sGiption of Imperial Valley. Many IN
teresting photographs are shown, in
cluding the old box-car depot at Ell
Centre in 1906, doubtless remembered
by MANY "old timers the old customs
house at Calexieo, the "new' depot
Of 1910, the Imperial hotel, the first
bale of cotton ginned in the valley, and
the residences of F. b. Fuller and c. f.
Hayden.
Hold Apricot Fair
A large handbill advertising the
s'Second Annual Apricot and Fruit
Fair, June z, l9l3,'' was found folded
in the supplement, containing a list of
prizes donated by the merchants of III
Centre for exhibits brought to the fair
which was held at Varney Brothers
store at Fifth and Main streets. A
hurried search through the list of don
ors showed the following firm: which
are still in business here: Varney Bros,
F. NJ. McCune, Major s. Cook, Nuffer
Land Company, Imperial Valley Hard
ware Company, Holton Power Company.
Globe Milling Company and Samuel w.
Dunaway. Ed Forester and Ira Aten
seem to have won the majority of the
prizes. Possibly there are still many
people in Ell Cenro who can recall the
"Apricot Fair.
Continuing the search, copies of "The
Desert Farmer and the "Calexiep
Chronicle anniversary editions wers
brought to light. They were printed
in May 1909 and contain many pictures
of the early days and much interesting

SILK THIEVES AT MANKATo

Mankato is having trouble with silk
thieves. About two weeks ago, a bolt
of silk was missed from the George E.
Brett Company's store and one from

that time that lady who left satchel
in each of these stores at different
times managed to slip the silk int he1
grip and make away with it.
Either the same one or one as

made. 81.
