BANKERS, LOOK
. FOR A RECORD
YEAR in VALLEY
L. A. Publication Pays
Tribute to Our
Section.

That 1924 will be the biggest year
in the history of Imperial Valley is
the opinion of heads of the three
banking houses of Ell Centre. That
financial conditions of the valley
are sound and that times are good,
in comparison with other sections
of the country, seems also to be the
opinion of the editor of the mag
azine "What About Los Angeles, -
published in that city, who has a
long article in the last number on
valley conditions.
All the banks in the valley report
a big increase in their business over
last year and the other years of the
reconstruction period, following the
war Loans are fairly active and the
real estate market looks promising
for the coming fall business. With
the bumper crops already harvested
and being harvested in the Imperial
Valley, farmers are very optimistic.
The El Centre branch manager of
n banking institution having its
headquarters in Los Angeles, re-
ports that the four Imperial valley
branches of yhi concern already
have shown an increase of over 100
per cent over last years business,
and that he expects these figures to
mount to even higher proportions
before the end of 1924.

ALL MAY GIVE
TO FUND FOR
WORLD FLYERS

A widespread movement is be-
ing carried on throughout Southern
California to collect money for an
appreciation fund to be given the
world flyers when they reach San
ta Monica next week. Every bank
in Southern California has been
designated as a depository for such
gifts or they may be sent direct to
j. A. Graves, president Los Angeles
Clearing House Association, 40l
South Main street, Los Angeles. Mr..
Graves has been named treasurer of
the fund.
1t is understood that the money
is to be distributed evenly among
the intrepid flyers and the concen-
sus of opinion is that this sort OF q
gift will prove more acceptable
than anything else that could be
bestowed. Any valley readers who
are interested in sending in such a
contribution may do so through their
bank or by sending the sum direct
to Treasurer Graves.

BEGIN SOON ON
$4,000 BUILDING
in BORDER CITY

Work. on the new Chinese. Mis-
sion building in Mexica4l is expect
ed to start within the hext few days,
according to an announcemert--esy
Rev. @. P. Royer. The cost is es-
timated to exceed $4,000. The
structure will be two stories high
and SO by 101 feet in dimension.
1t is planned to erect an arcade
over the sidewalk as is usual in
valley city building. The ground
floor plan includes four class
rooms, offices and small social
room. On the main floor a lobby
and auditorium will occupy the floor
space. A motion picture projecting
room on the mezzanine floor is to
be an unusual feature of the buM-
ing.
On the second floor there will be
q large screened porch, sitting room
and 12 bedrooms for men. Several
bathrooms and other sanitary con
veniences are included in the plans.
An athletic court will use up the
ground in the rear of the building,
while an outside public drinking
fountain and revolving electric
cross are also included in the cost
estimate.
The former Chinese mission was
destroyed by fire in June, 1928,
when an entire block of various
types of buildings was burned. Sev-
eral firmsf have rebuilt attractive
buildings on the old sites. The dis
trict is the heart of the Chinese
section of Mexicali. The fire was
one of the most spectacular fires
occurring in the Imperial Valley,
drawing thousands of Americans
across the line to watch 1T as IT
lasted for several hours. More than
$3,000,000 damages resulted.

Lassen Erupts
By United Press Leased Wire


DUNSMUIR, Cal, Sept. 10
The great slide which roared down
the southeastern slope of Mount
Shasta, near here, late yesterday,
breaking down the walls of Mud
Canyon for distance of eight miles
has impounded great lake of mud
which may burst its barriers and
flood the lowlands at any moment
with an avalanche of morainal
slime, according to word received
here today.
Approximately Is acres of volca-
mic sand, loosened by the melting of
the Whitney Glacier, slipped from
near the top of the peak and block
ed the only natural channel by
which the mud from the disintegrat
iuo glacier has been reaching the
bottom of the mountain.
An aura of pumice dust which
accompanied the slide could be seen
for 25 miles and the roar could be
heard for almost that distance.
Residents of towns about the foot
of the mountain, who were about
to flee their homes when the slide
suddenly stopped, still were appre-
hensive today.
Mount Shasta, in Siskiyou Coun-
ty, is 1880 feet in height, one
| of the highest peak in the United
St9tes.
| For more than month it has
/ been subjected to rapid erosion due
to glacia, slides and apnorma

siders the Chekiang revolt TO be

revolt at Hang Chow yesterday
which sent General Lu scurrying to
s,nanghal with his family ana body
guard.
The .Chekiang Tuchun placidly
announced there had been no revolt
and that he was winning, but the
fact remains that his third army,
whics was keeping mp his eommuni-
cation while his first and second
armies fought Chi Hsuieh Yuan,
north of Shanghai, is no more. This
army, joining with the enemy Is
reported advancing on LUIS rear.
Chi Hsuieh Yuan's artillery op-
cned a heavy fire today against
