October 6, 1908, at Chicago (This is the best hurling feat to take place on any 9th day of Oct.l
 Hughie Jennings and his Detroit Tigers, with "Wiid Bill" Donovan on the mound, defeated the White eox . to 0, in the final game of the season, to win the pennant by an eyelash.
 Detroit started with Q vengeance on Doc" White in the first inning, and before the game was over, had hammered across additional runs off two other "old reliables," Ed Walsh and Frank Smith. M
 Mcintyre opened the game with Q single; Bush famed; Crawford doubled: Cobb, by brilliant slide, stretched Q double into . triple, Me- Intyre and Crawford scoring; " counted when Isbell ftlmbled Ross mans grounder. Exit White, enter Walsh. Hchaefer singled, Rossman scoring the fourth run.
 Singles by Bush and Crawford added another in the second, of Walsh.
 Mcintyre, Bush, Crawford, and Cobb got to Frank Smith for two more tallies in the ninth.
 Donovan permitted Fielder Jones' White Sox, but two hits, both sin- gles. Only i've Sox reached first, and just one got to second. ''Wild Bill" struck out ten, flaming the side in the fourth.
 NOTE: Prior to this contest De- troit led Cleveland and Chicago by one-half game, and, as Cleveland won their last contest of the season (from st. Louis), Cleveland finished one-half game behind the first place Tigers, and one game ahead of Chi- cago in third position.
 In the above game the Tigers made no errors and only two assists. within one of the record for the least assist ln a regulation eame.

BRINGING
ALL THE NEWS
TO IMPERIAL
VALLEY
NEW PUBLIC BUILDINGS
FOR Ell CENTRO

In no way can the faith of a people in
their community be better demonstrated
than in the construction of permanent
public buildings in which municipal af-
fairs are to be transacted. Two such
public buildings are planned in Ell Gen.
tro this year, fact which demonstrates
thoroughly the faith that exists in the
future of Ell Centre, and so of Imperial
Valley.
One of the buildings will be construct
ed by the state, out of state funds, with
out any obligation to the people of Ell
Centre as a unit. 1t will house offices of
state government, now scattered through
out the county court house and elsewhere
in the county. 1t will bring to Ell Centre
added prestige, a more complete civic
center and a small measure of additional
revenue-because some state offices now
operating elsewhere will be moved to
Ell Centric.
Construction of the state builning.
perhaps, is better indication of what
the future holds in store than is con-
struction of the proposed library build
ing. That the state is willing to erect
building for its offices here indicates
that it is only the people of the valley
who have confidence in their future,
but that California as a whole regards
the valley as a growing, prospering COM
munity.
Construction of library building. tie
need for which no one can deny, is con-
tingent upon approval by the people
of bond issue to provide necessary
funds. The question before the public will
be: Do we wish to bond ourselves to pay
for this building. The answer will be
given at the polls.
If the only consideration were one of
need, the answer could be written now,
insofar as the library building is con-
cerned. Present library quarters are
cramped, uncomfortable and insufficient.
There is not room to house all of the
books owned by the library. There are
not sufficient facilities adequately to
care for the needs of the city's many
book borrowers. There is no doubt that
new library building is needed. Thus
the only question to be answered is one
of the desirability of further bonded in
debtedness.
Ell Centro will be fortunate when it
can add to the projected new library and
state buildings a new city hall, also,
and a civic auditorium When that time
comes, Ell Centro will be on the way,
truly, to becoming metropolis.

Bruce Cation Says:>>
Mankind Has Created His Own Worst Perils

strange new disease, a return of
the ice age, or something equally
elemental and beyond human con-
trol-were coming up on the hori-
zon the way war is coming up;
something that bade fair to de-
stroy entire cities overnight, to in
flict the most eXcruciating suffer-
ing on millions of people, to kill
women and children by wholesale,
to disrupt the entire worlds econ
omic and social mechanisms, and
to reduce every great natiorG
earth to bankruptcy and chaoAW
The answer is too obvious to need
repeating; SO, too, is the distressing
fact that although a danger pre-
cisely like the one described does
threaten the world, and threaten 1t
imminently, We do nothing what
ever to turn it aside. Turn it asideP
We made it ourselves!
In little things and in big things,
it's the same story We seem TO
be able to get around all our trou-
bles except the ones we ourselves
have called into being.

UNITED STRENGTH FOR
FARM TO MARKET ROADS

Slowly, without much help from out
side quarters, the Imperial county farm
bureau is proceeding with a sweeping
program for improvement of farm
to-market road system in this county
that would serve the farmer, the city
dweller, the business man and the work
ing man, equally. 1t is a project that
deserves not only lip service, but the
wholehearted support of every thinking
citizen of the county. 1t is something
behind which every civic group in the
county should organize, without faction
al jealousy and without self-interest.
Imperial county can get on twenty
continental highways and a dozen state
highways, it can improve existing grades
and drive new highways through the
desert-but what good will all this do
if the farmer is left mired down every
time it rains, if the road to his farm is
so bad that it chews the rubber from his
tires, if his cost of transportation is ex-
tremely high because of bad conditions?
The farmer, in Imperial Valley more
than anywhere else, is the backbone of
the community His prosperity is imper-
ative before the community can prosper
His comfort is as important to the man
in the city as it is to the farmer himself
Let us develop Imperial Valley within
Imperial Valley. If we do that, less en-
enlargement will be needed in the future
for the entry of outside interests.
