keep the benefits to ourselves, or are we
going to invite others here to share them,
thus making a bigger and better Ell Cen
tro for those of us who have carried the
burden all through the years?
A big construction Job always attracts
the curious. and those desiring of seeing
how it is done. Think of the thousands
who are attracted every year to Boulder
dam. Other thousands will want to drive
here from all parts of the west and
southwest to see the building of the canal.
Are we going to hide from them the
fact that FL Centre is the logical place
for them to make their headquarters?
Are we going to deprive our merchants.
service stations, restaurants, hotels and
every other branch of business the oppor-
tunity to increase their business through
catering to them?
We will if we cut off the support which
the Ell Centre Chamber of Commerce
must have if it is to make known to thou
sands of tourists and other thousands of
prospective permanent residents, what
FL Centre is, where it is and what it has
to offer them.
This is one of the jobs for the cham
Der of commerce. The city council can't
do it. Neither can any other organiza-
ton in the city even if all were willing
to tackle it.
1t is only one of the phases of the
chamber S work, but who will dare say
it is not an important one?
The one mill tax which the people of
Ell Centre voted six years ago has made
the FL Centre of today. Continuation of
it will mean better Ell Centre in every
way in the future. Stopping it now means
cutting off the hopes of every business
institution in the city.
Instead of making it possible to have
a better Ell Centre for the youngsters
who will be men and women within an
other decade cutting off the tax means
keeping them in small town" with all
the handicaps that implies.
The mill tax is not burden on the
people of Ell Centre. Last year it took
from actual residents of this city approx
imately S2,4O0. Don't let anyone tell
you differently. 1t got slightly more
than that from property owned by those
residing outside of the city but benefit
ting by the progress of those who reside
and work here.
It's expenditures are supervised by the
men who have made FL Centro-its bus
nessmen-and are approved by the men
who govern the city-the city council.
The voter will do we'll to consider this
matter calmly and dispassionately un-
swayed by the baseless and inaccurate
rumors which he may hear.
FL Centro's future rests with its men
and women. We have full confidence
that they love this city as we do; that
they wish it to go ahead and not back
ward and that they will prove it Mon
day by voting NO on the proposition to
discontinue the one mill tax.

The trolling boat Ida II, Capt. John Sunderland, suffered some damage this afternoon just before the steamer Alaska arrived, when it was crushed against the piling at the face of the cold storage dock by the Haleakala.
 Extent of the damage had not been determined when The Empire went to press, but it is thought that some of the ribs of the small vessel may have been cracked.
 The Ida II was taking ice pre- paratory to going out after salmon, having come in with a load this morning.

BRIGHTER OUTLOOK.

Developments in General
Trade and Other Factors
Held Promising.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 16.-De-
yelopments in general trade, the more
concerted action by business men TO
hasten recovery and the momentum
gained by retail distribution, said
the Dun g. Bradstreet weekly trade re-
view today, have made for decidedly
brighter business outlook.
Stocks have moved out at such an
accelerated pace" asserted the sum-
mary, that complete clearance OF
many of the most popular grades has
placed unexpected calls on whole
salers and even manufacturers for
fill-in requirements.
with supplies in many lines rum
ming low and expanded estimates
being made of future requirements,
an abrupt widening of manufacturing
schedules appears in prospect, with
q concomitant stimulation of raw ma
terial buying.
Extending the upward movement
which started in September, the in
vigorating influence of colder weather
carried retail distribution to new
heights for the season and to the
largest volume recorded since the
Easter shopping period.
Volume for the country as whole
was 8 to IL per cent ahead of the
preceding weeks, and Is to 20 per
cent in excess of the total for the
corresponding 1888 week.
"On the strength of the current
situation and because inventories in
many trades have been reduced
sharply, the sustained movement into
consuming channels is beginning to
penetrate to the manufacturer"

CURB LIST MOVES
SLIGHTLY LOWER
Sound Money implications
Cause Some Selling in
Mining Issues.
BY G. A. PHILLIPS,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, November 16.-The
Curb Market was q little soggy today
as selling trickled through the utility
list and into some Of the industrials
and mining issues.
Utilities declined in sympathy with
that group on the big board, but losses
In this market were mostly limited to
small fractions. Among issues a little
lower during the forenoon were Elec-
trio Bond & Share, American Gas g.
Electric, Cities Service and American
Superpower.
Gold mining issues also encountered
some selling, evidently rejecting fur
ther consideration of the sound money
implications Of recent Washington de-
velopments. A further influence was
provided by published discussions Of
the possibility Of stabilization Of the
dollar and the pound. Wright Har-
greaves and Pioneer sagged little, but
Lake Shore was about steady.
Firm spots among industrial spe-
cialties included American Cynamid B,
Pittsburgh Plate Glass, Great Atlantic
& Pacific and r. c. Williams, all Of
which moved fractionally higher dur
ing the morning. Sherwin williams
and Swift & Co. eased little.

Sharp Increases for First
Nine Months.
BY FRANKLIN MULLIN,

CHICAGO, November 16.- The
American meat packing industry paid
II per cent more for live stock during
the first nine months of 1884 than was
paid during the corresponding period
last year, comparative statistics COM

Meat Packers showed.
These estimates did not include the
total processing taxes estimated at
approximately $16l 100000 incurred in
hogs dressed during the period nor
the amount paid to farmers for cattle.

in drought areas in recent months.
Meat animals cost the packing in

from January to September, inclusive.

producers, it was pointed out, in addi-
ton to funds from the processing tax.
paid by the Government in benefits to
farmers who co-operated in the corn
hog reduction program.
The principal increases in costs oc-
CURED in the purchase of cattle and
calves, cattle costing % per cent more
and calves 20 per cent more than dur
ing the same period in 1888. In addi-
tion to this income, the institute
pointed out, farmers received proceeds
from sale of approximately 100000
cattle and calves purchased from June
through September at an average
price of approximately $3.50 per head
in the drought relief program.
The increased cost of sheep was IS

Of about per cent in the case of hogs.

valescent children which 1t maintains
at Rockville.
Daddy went up to the Christ
Child Society and the very next day
he took me out to this beautiful
home. I never knew there could be
such a nice place. A great big home
on a farm with beautiful flowers and
lots of fresh air and Fairgrounds
and play rooms for the children,
made me feel like I never would
want to leave.
THE nurse at this home had a re-
port from Providence Hospital and
she started right in giving me special
food. I could really feel myself get
ting better every day and after I had
been there for two months I was so
well and strong that I was able to
come back home and start right in
to school this Fall. The Christ Child
people gave me some shoes and
clothes, too, so that won't catch
cold this Winter, but the doctor says
that ought to go out to that Rock
vile home again next Summer and
stay about month and the ladies
at the Christ Child Society have told
me could go.
Glad to Help.
Daddy felt badly because he
didn't have money to pay for keeping
me out there, but the ladies told him
that the Community Chest raises
money for folks like us who need
just little help and that the people
who give it are awfully glad to help
little girl like me.
I am going to grow up and be a
worker for the Community Chest and
for the Christ Child Society so that
other little girls can go to that
beautiful Christ Child Society home
in Rockville when they are i'll and
need some place where they can grow
strong again"
