Quite a little excitement was caused in our city Monday morning, when the tent houfis of Mrs. C. C. Rhodes caught fire. The family were near, saw the flames, ami were able to extinguish them before much damage was done. Tuesday morning much concern was given the people of Holtville by the rumor that the railroad bridge across the Alamo river had been washed out of place bj' the excessive amount of water coining down the river, but upon inves tigation it was found not to be so diinj gerous an first reported. The train has not crossed the bridge, which makes it very inconvenient for passengers as well as the inconvenience of getting the freight over. The pile driver came Wednesday and no doubt the bridge will be saved. The Diamond Cure The latest news from Paris is that they have discovered a diamond cure for consumption.

HEBER, Manager • U* *\£ Yards at Brawley, Heber and Imperial * ' Main Office: Imperial, Cal -- - .- . • . ' \£ The weather has been fine for ten days or more and farm work is going ahead the same as if it waa April in stead of July. Melons and cantelopes are in great supply and . the Silsbans surely have plenty of the good things of summer fare. t£:^ Silsbee had a narrow escape from being flooded last Saturday. The head gate of Elder No 13 started to wash out and was discovered just in time to stop the water and avert the calamity. If it had not been discovered for a few minutes longer it is doubtful if the water could have been stopped. In that case very serious damage would have resulted, as the flood of water would have daubtlesa destroyed the adobe store buildings in Silsbee. The overflow water is slowly receding, it lias fallen about three inches at Mr. Avery's place, and 'more than that up the river. Its fall is sincerely welcomed by all our people. The water completed overflowing all the land south of Elder canal and Elder, No. 13 on the 6th day of May and reached danger line about June I, which it kept; holding at just about one level for six weeks. y ; ,. SILSBEE What's Doing Over at the Pleasure Resort on the Shore of Blue Lake Mr. George Avery and family are expecting to leave for San Diego next week to spend the rest of the summer at that delightful resort. Mr. Charley Dearborn is recovering from his attack of typhoid fever. He in able to sit up now, and we all hope he will soon be fully restored to health. Squire Orrick and wife left for San Dieg<* Tuesday. They will go to r>ra\v ley and cross the New river at that point on the ferry boat that is being built at that place. Mr. Thomas Davis left for Campo last Monday. He went across the overflow by Storms' crossing and swain New river, the outlet of Blue Lake and a number of other places. The farmers, since the Heber ware house was wrecked, are building scaf folds and piling their threshed grain upon them. It keeps out the mice and is a precaution in case the water should break through. Some of the farmers across New river in No. 6 south of Silsbee have lost quite severely by the flooding of their farms, rome of them had their grain already threshed when the water came and they lost a great deal of their grain. It is reported that almost all of No. 6 is flooded. Mr. Andy Elliott and family left Sils be,e for Campo last Tuesday in com pany with Squire Orrick and family and Mr. Fowler. They went to Brawley to cross New river on the new ferry boat -which, at present, presents the only means of getting over New river dry shod. A farewell party was given by Mr. Honaker in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Orrick and the Elliott family,' last Monday night. There was refresh ments, games and dancing, and all. re port a most enjoyable time. It is. a matter of wonder to people who think we have such a hot climate to Under stand how people can dance here in the summer time, but they cany. and enjoy it too. Mr. Roy Ramsey, one of SH-sbee'a genial merchants, has just completed the work of plastering, painting and decorating the interioi of bin store building. The walls of the building are of adobe and it is plastered with the same material, then painted. and : tinted a lovely sky blue which makes ..the store room a beautiful one. Mr. Rtim hhv is justly proud of having so beauti ful a store r»'»m n»ul «>»«r t'utt i< *;» v«»=l and comfortable fur the summer. ; : .: ■: :
