MAJORS GET MANY STAR MEN
FROM PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE

Arlett, who was allowed to linger
on the coast until well past so, has
come in for more attention than any
other 1881 rookie AT the start of
the season Arlett was unable to get
going, but before the season was
three weeks old the elephantine out
fielder was pounding the ball to ali
corners of the lot and fielding in a
highly capable manner. Arlett was
leading the league with a mark Of
.34S up until few weeks ago when
he broke a finger on his throwing
hand and was forced to the bench.
The big Phillie slugger hits from
eithe rside of the plate, being one of
the few capable switch-hitters il
the majors. His work has made the
Philadelphia fans forget the trade
that sent Lefty O'Doul to the Rob
ins.
lombard, while not regular, has
shown in the games he has played
that his reputation as slugger is not
without foundation. A little more
experience behind the plate and Err
ME will be ready to start his share
of games.

Too Much Talk
By Hitch-Hiker

Carl Lowden, 49,, was hiking west
on tho San Diego highway this
morning when Claiborne Poole, dep

Carl did not know Poole was a
deputy sheriff, and talked too much.
He insisted on telling the officer of
the 80 calibre revolver he was car
rying in his grip.
So Poole took the youth to the
sheriff's office for questioning

PROSPERITY OF
VALLEY IS GIVEN
new PUBLICITY

Ell Centro has received additional
confirmation of what the citizens
already believe, that even during a
period of general depression
throughout the country, this is one
of the best places in which to live
and do business. The La Sale
Business Bulletin" map for July has
Just appeared, and il credits I'm
perial Valley with enjoying good
business condition" It is one of
the few areas in the United States
thus designated.
For nearly three years Imperial
Valley has enjoyed the white spot
of good business conditions on the
Nations Business map. and this
additional confirmation, coming
from new source, gives added en-
oouragement to the people of this
community. According to Manager
Hays, of the Ell Centre Chamber OF
Commerce, the staff of that organ
ization each month sends to the
Nations Business, the La Sale Ex-
tension University, and other sta
tistical publications, a report of the
conditions existing in Imperial VAL
ley and Ell Centre, and these re-
ports, with other statistics gathered
by the reporting concerns form the
basis for the Imperial Valley sector
of the several monthly maps.
1T is interesting to note" says
Hays, that Ell Centre gained in

a time when throughout the coun-
try valuations have been generally
shrinking. Many merchants re-
ported sales during the month of
June, 1881, as better than during
June of the preceding year. Building
operations in Ell Centro have been
going on at healthy pace. Des-
pite the relatively low price of most
farming commodities, farming
operations in Imperial Valley have
not slackened and probably better
work is being done than ever be-
fore with the idea of improving ef-
fieiency on the farm and producing
greater yield per acre.
1T is exceedingly likely" HAYS
continues, that the coming fall
season will be busy and a pros
porous one for this community. The

Commerce plans to do its part by
initiating Homecoming" celebra-

OF the new school term, that the
merchants may have an opportuni-
ty OF exhibiting their new fall wares
and remind anew the people of the
community that FL Centre offers
stock selection and shopping oppor-
