ed by all tha mystery usually con

publicity is undesirable, until every
thing in the way of preiminaries
has been settled.
Thr party consisted of seven
men, who registered ut n local hotel
on Thursday as 'Jamcs Brown and
party Grown did all the
talking while the party was being
registered, and assigned rooms,
first inquiring if it were permiss
abla to register as "Brown and

hotel rules. did not prohib;t such
registration, "Brown' signed the
register in this manner.
"'Brown' has been almost posi-
lively identified as j. II. Hayden
assistant to the president of the
Santa Fe railroad. Two other mem
bcrs of the party were recognized
as +. J. Engel, Chicago, Illinois,

cal representative of the San Di-
ego and Arizona Railway, q party
of excursionists from San Diego ar
rived in this city at 2 o clock this
afternoon, on one of the popular
low fare excursions which the rail

quent intervals.
The party was met at the South
ern tacific station lby! Secretary
Carmichael and Il delegation from
the Ell Centric Chamber of Com
merce and those who desired to do
so were taken to see the Barbara
Worth hotel. Others were escorted
through the plant of the Golden
State Milk Products Company.
Plans for an automobile trip
about the valley to see the canta-
loupe fields and other agricultural
endeavOrs, had to be omitted be-
cause of the heavy wind.
The cXcursionists expressed their
delight ut the trip over here from
San Diego and many were surpris-
ed with the development of the val
ley. All were ready to sing the
praises of Carriso Gorge, which they
passed through on the way over
from San Diego, and were looking
forward to another view of the IA
nous gorge on the return trip.
Leaving FL Conro at 4 o clock,
the excursionists were due back in
San Diego at O'Clock tonight.

Piggly Wiggly
Stores to Come
to the Valley

From the fact that articles of in
corporation for the Pigglv Wiggly
Imperial company were filed in the
county clerk 5 office this morning,
it is apparent that the famous
stores, which are known throughout
the country, are to enter Imperial
Valley
At the present time there is a
Piggly WigglY store Mt Yuma, which
was opened several months ago, and
it has been expected that the stores
would soon enter this community.
The incorporators as listed with
the county clerk are G. A. Bridgers,
Imperial, f. w. Cuff, Willard R.
Gardner and G, II. Jones of Draw
ley.
The articles call for capital
stock of $4,000 divided into 2500
shares of $40 each. AT present each
of the incorporators have purchas-
ed one share of stock and it is be-
lieved the remainder will be offer
ed TO the public in the near future
The Piggy Wigglv stores are or
ganized on the self service plan and
were founded several years ago by
Clarence Saunders who made 4 for
tune with them only to lose it in
litigation last year when he was de-
posed as head of the Piggy Wiggly
stores. He has since staged come
back in Il Spectacular manner by
starting n new chain of stores back

All Europe in Worst Turmoil Since the War Ended
Heat Gives Way
To Violent
Winds

Heavy winds which, staEted'
blowing yesterday Inforning,
have replaced the hot weather
which the valley experienced
last week, and Judging from the
comments passed by residents it
is difficult to state which is
more unpopular, wind or heat.
Instead Of perspiring freely
throughout the day, and consum
ing large quantities of cold
drinks, valley residents have
been eating dust for the past
two days, and it is safe bet
that every resident will have
consumed large portion of his
proverbial "peck of dirt by
nightfall.
No serious damage has been
caused by the wind, as far as
can be learned. The cantaloupe
crop has not suffered to any ex
tent as yet, it was stated at the
horticultural commissioner of
flee today, though if the wind
continues for day or two
longer it may result in consider
able tip-burn.

terward to call her daughter who
was staying in n house nearby.
Upon her return, the house was 4
mass of flames.

led on Seventh street. there was an
insufficient amount of water to en-
able the firemen 10 play a stream

partment could only stand bv and
prevent the fire from spreading to

troy the house and contents. The
damage is estimated in the neigh

Because of the fire danger during
