Jail Population
Getting Larger

Today saw the first day of rain
this week insofar as El Centre in
general is concerned, but at the
county jail the deluge began Sun
day and threatened to continue for
some time to come.
The deluge is not OF heavenly
liquid, but of very earthly prisoners.
of whom "a received since Sunday
are still in the county jail cells.
while almost as many more have
been released since their arrest dur
ing the early days of this week.
From every section of the valley
came the prisoners, some on i'm
migration charges, some as Gus
toms prisoners and some from JUS
tice and superior courts.
Justice courts about the VALLEY
furnished Antonio Gomez, so, SEN
fenced by Judge H. B. Griffin of
Brawley to serve 80 days for being
drunk; A Martinez, 80 sentenced
by Judge Griffin to so days for
petty theft; Jack Ellington, so SEN
fenced by Judge E. E. Kiefer of
Calexico to 30 days for vagrancy:
Lawrence Rainbow, 30, sentenced
by Judge Burch of Winterhaven to

DIRECTORS TO
INSPECT CORY
LAND PROJECT

Members of the Imperial Irriga-
ton district board of directors. En-.
gineer H. T. Cory and Earl C.
Pound will make a tour of lands
expected to be leased by Cory and
his associates for the experimental
tions in de-salting soil by the Egyp-
ton method
A proposed contract between Cory
and the district was read and dis
cussed at the regular afternoon
session of the board yesterday
Following the visit to lands desired
by Cory. further discussions of the
contract are scheduled to take
place.
Cory and his associates plan to
control and regulate the salt level
in bad lands by scientific rotation
of high and low water consumption
crops, the same general plan in ef-
feet in Egypt and Spain in the same
type of soil.
1t is proposed to try the plan for
five years turing which period
much valuable experience and ex-
perimental data could be obtained.
Cory wishes to try the project on
the worst lands to be obtained in
the valley, he explained to the
board.

False Alarm

far for Bert Underwood, coroner
and Ernest Clay, deputy sheriff. to-
day. for their tormentorS point out
the obvious fact Il was not a dead

Instead it was a colt. or, as some
unkind officers point out, a horse
On the coroner and deputy.
1t all started yesterday when some
person, name unknown telephoned
the sheriff'S office TO report that
someone had buried a body, without
benefit Of clergy, on the Trenthan,
ranch three and a half miles north
east of Brawley. 1t supposedly was
a human body.
So Underwood and Clay set out
with shovels and other digging
paraphanalia. Finally locating the
burial spot they began to excavate
Soon the body was uncovered, but
the two returned to FL Centre to re.
port in disgust the body was that

CITY'S BUILDING
ACTIVITY AHEAD
OF OTHER AREAS

General conditions in FL Centre
as compared with other cities in
Southern California are brought
cut by a recent survey of building
permits for the month of October,
received at the FL Centre Cham
her of Commerce This survey
shows that FL Centre permits for
that month. an average month as
to building permits here, were from
three to 40 times as much as those
of the following cities, each with a
population about the same as FL
Centro's: Compton, Lynwooo. Mon
rovia, South Pasadena. Redondo,
San Fernando, San Gabriel. Ana
helm and Terrence. Ell Centres
building permits were four times as
great as Redlands and eight times
as great as Whittier, both cities
twice the size of FL Centre; while.
Bakersfield, Huntington Park and
San Bernardino, all cities from
three TO four times larger than FL
Centre, showed smaller building
permits for the same month.
These cities were merely taken
at random from Southern Cali
fornia, where dozens Of cities were
listed. Other figures taken from
various sections of the country
show An equally optimistic COM
parison in FL Centres favor. Chey-
enne, Wyo, with twice FL Centres
population, shows smaller building
permit figures for October; Albu-
querque. N M, three times as large
as Ell Centre, has smaller permits
for that month and FL Centres
building permits also exceed those
of Charleston, S. c., seven times
its size; Little Rock, Ark, 10 times
its size and Ell Paso. Texas, almost
IL times its size. Ell Centre per-.
mits were almost equal to those of
Fargo, N. d. and Riverside, Cal,
cities of $4,000 or 10000 and of
Phoenix, Ariz., which has a pop
ulation of $4,000.
1t is figures such as these that
keep Imperial Valley in the white"
on the Nations Business map, COM
piled by the editor of Bradstreets.
This designation of white is not
determined merely by business con-
ditions and activities in Imperial
Valley, but by a comparison of In
perial Valley with other sections of
the United States and comparisons,
such as those made in the above
figures, show that this community
feels the depression perhaps as lit
tie as any section of the country.

CUBS STAR IS
SLATED TO 60
TO ST. LOUIS
Bv GEORGE KIRKSFY

CHICAGO, Dec. 9. U.P) - Hack
Wilson. ueposed home run king Of
the National League. today was
slated to wear the uniform of the
world champion ST. Louis Cardinals
next season.
The Chicago Cubs today had
three offers for Wilson. with every
indication that the Cardinals prop
osition would be accepted.
The Cards, it was said on reliable
authority, had offered the Cubs
either George Watkins or Ernie
Orsatti, outfieloers, for Wilson and
a small sum Of cash. If the Cubs
refuse either Watkins or Orsatti, It
was said they can lave Burleigh
Grimes. world series pitching hero.
for Wilson and large sum Of
cash.
The Boston Braves also have
made an offer for Wilson, but they
physical condition is good and that
his eyesight is not impaired. The
Cubs refuse to give any such guar
antee. The Cincinnati Reds also
have. made an offer for Wilson but
1t contains provisional clause
which does not meet with the ap-
prevail of Manager Rogers Hornsby.
Wilson dropped from a 1856 hit
ter in 1880 to a 261 hitter in 1881,
and wound up the season in sus-
( pension. He drew a salary of s37.-
500 last season. the highest paid
! National League player exec
HOrnsby, who is under player
| manager contract. If the Cardinals
/ get Wilson, his salary probably will
be slashed to $4,000 or $4,000.
Not a single trade was made dur
ing the opening days session of
the majors Yesterday, but several
managers announced the players
they were bidding for.
The contemplated move Of the
majors to restrict or ban radio
broadcasting during 1892 wa
blocked when certain clubs" signed
radio contracts for neyt season late
Monday.
The American League voted to
prohibit any radio contracts being
made for 1888 before the two majors
have held their joint meeting next
December.

There are no ships in port sched-

west by that route.
However. plans for a box car ex-

would be nothing doing. Some had
planned to ship themselves as

The l. c. c. would never permit.

A couple OF ingenious fans ap-
preached Miller Baker of the U. S.
immigration service, and asked
chances Of being deported as es-
cortS to the west coast if they woulG
report their Chinese laundryman
who was in this country illegally,
for deportation. Baker said the
chances were slim indeed Few
Chinese were being deported now
snd the department had plenty of
deputies. he told them.
Dozens of other plans have been
devised. Money that will be lost o.
wor on the game would easily
