What made Milwaukee famous? The
Milwaukee Mowers and Rakes. C. W.
'Fernaid, agent, Imperial.
\ Arthur Edgar, of the Edgar Bros., was
.an Xl Centro visitor last Wednesday.
He was showing the Valley to a friend
and so he brought him to' 1 where there
was things doing.
You won't have to keep many sows to
•raise all the pigs you want if you will
get a start of Durocs from Porter N.
.Ferguson, Holtville, Cal.
M. W. Conkling, an attorney from Los
Angeles has been in the Valley several
'davs'visiting with hie old friend, J. C.
Blackinton. Mr. Conkiing is interested
in a contest on some land west of Sils
boe and was quite anxious to learn in
regard to the cutting back of thechannel
•of Now river and as to whether that
particular laud was drained.
Hop vines grow taster and make more
•rihade than any other.praiit in this cli
mate. E. R. Fairbanks at Imperial has
'them all rooted and ready . to grow.
Price 50 cents per dozen.
The committee having charge] of* the
•damage claim' matter for those "whose
lands have been overflowed during the
past year, is anxious to get the matter
•closed up as soon as possible. They
therefore have set Saturday, May 19th,
as the last day on which they will ac
cept claims. They are desirous of get
ting the matter initiated as, soon as pos
;sible in order, that headway may be
made toward enforcing the claims.
I have 160 acres of unimproved land
near El Centro that is an ideal place, for
cantaloupes and grapes. The land js
level and very 'choice. Don't fail to
look this up if you want quality. Bert
R. Chaplin, Imperial.
J. 'II. Walden,.of Thermal, made a
pleasant call at our office last Wednes
• day. lie is in the Valley inquest of
work horses, and to look over the pros
pects of our prosperous community.
Mr. Walden is a real estate dealer at
his home town and of course thinks
"Thermal has advantages peculiar to it
self, but he was much impressed with
I substantial buildings and the solid
progress of El Centro.
"\X/A IMTPn a^ o " ce> 100- brick lay-
W AIN I EU erg) 35 carpenters, 15
plumbers, 31 dairymen, 75 cantaloupe
men, 800 farmers, 150 laborers, 225 clerks
lots of Missourian&i with long whiskers
.and hair to cut, at the El Centro barber
isliop. Satisfaction guaranteed.
W. 1 E. Downing; Proprietor.
L. M. Lyon, the head of the L. M.
Lyon Co., the greatest cantaloupe dis
tributors in the World, arrived in El
Centro on last Tuesday. He comes to
stay in the Valley all summer and will
divide his time between Holtville, Braw
ley and this town. Naturally Mr. Lyon
~* is very enthusiastic over Imperial Val
ley and the cantaloupe business, but be
says that asparagus, onions', sweet po
tatoes ; in fact, just lots of things will
pay the farmers big money. No man
is better posted on the markets of the
United States and what kind of products
they will take than Mr. Lyon. It is a
great advantage to our people to have
such a man as Mr. Lyon interested with
them. Our farmers can produce the '
crops in great abundance and Mr. Lyon
is just the man to find the markets.
.Such , a combination is bound to be a
winner. ,

160 Acres fine soft land all improved

small house. $1600. Bert R. Chaplin
Imperial, Cal.
From conversation with parties who
came direct from the Salton sea we learn
that it is mining at the rate of three
inches per day and has be^n for some,
time. It is estimated that it will reach
the government date farm at Mecca in
about nine mouths time if it continues
to rise ut its present rate. Ah the date
farm is some ten feet or more above the
Southern Pacific track for about 45
miles it will be seen that it will be- the
Southern Pacific's move first. With
the larger Hoods of summer coming it is
likely this rate of line will be maintained
in the Salton if not increased. The
channel cutting .1 hat is going on in this
Valley is helping the rise in the Salton
by adding several thousand cubic feet of
dirt per second to the How of the water.
