SEELEY GINGER IS TOO
MUCH FOR The
JINKS
e
WidedlUake Community Has No
Time for Hard Luck Stories
--NeI0s Items

SEELEY, Feb. St would require
a vivid imagination TO conceive a more
stunning array of misfortunes than
those that have befallen this enter
prising little town---so often referred
to as the gateway to Imperial val
ley"--during the past six weeks, but
the gate" is still wide open.
Storm after storm, each Of unusual
violence rendered the roads from the
ranches well nigh impassable since
Christmas, and this last one, of Sun
day and Monday, prevented the de-
positors and others from attending a
meeting called for Monday afternoon
for the purpose of deciding how and
when the bank-closed since January
1C-should open again. The meeting
was postponed and a call for new one
is to be issued it is said in the near
future.
Meanwhile news comes from Wash
ngton that Arthur l.. Sisson, former
Icashier of the bank, has been appoint
ed receiver. 1t is not known when
he will be ut in charge, but the COM
mittee on reorganization are hoping
to forcstall this action by completing
tHciI plans lOT icOpcNIlS the De&lih
with sufficient funds subscribed to
the stock.
Seeley's chief industry--the long
staple cotton gin--has been humming
along nearly every day and several
nights for three months, furnishing
employment for some half a dozen
men. Pima cotton from many towns
in the valley has been delivered al
the plant and so far some $50 bales
have bean ginned and sent to the cot
ton yard. Manager Pearce states that
there is enough long staple in sight to
keep the plant going full speed until
March, perhaps later.
The Seelev Chamber of Commerce,
which has its regular monthly meet
ing on Tuesday, February Z, is to en-
tertain the Associated Chambers Of
Commerce at a dinner in Community
hall on the last Friday in February.
The dinner, as usual. is to be served
by the women of the Ladies Aid soci-
letv, whose reputation as chefs par ex-
celience and dainty servitors is valley
wide. JaGoer L. Travers says so, and
he knows, for he has sampled every
alphabetical menu from Brawley to
Seeley.
