El] Paso, Texas, July 14.—Camel caravans such as those seen in the Great Sahara Desert will soon be- come familiar sights in the deserts of New Mexico, Arizona and South- ern California, if the plans of an as- sociation of. Southwestern busihess men are successful. J. H. Trimble| a prominent Texas stockman, is one| of the leading spirits in the plan to! transport 200 camelsfrom the Orient | to the southwestern section of Amer-| ica for_use in the arid wastes. The association purposes to put} the camels on a ranch on the. Rio Grande, about 150 miles south of Cape Verde, wherea breeding station is to be established. The desert areas of New Mexico, Arizona and Califor- nia, although offering great possi- bilities to the seeker after metals are but little traversed either by railroads or other means of transportation. With squads of camels, it is believed long journeys into the interior can be made. This will not be the first time cam- els have been brought here for this! purpose.

A program of this meeting will soon be ready to mail to all the teachers. A few clerks have not sent in the name and ad- dress of their teacher. The School Board in Double Branch district has built a new concrete porch and improved things in gener- al. This isamuch needed piece of work and will add greatly to the com- fort of the pupils and teacher. Enterprise School Board is putting a new foundation under the building and building a porch too. They will receive State Aid this year and will be able to put their house in good re- pair in a few years without any cost on their part. Oak Grove School Board is mak- ing some improvement on their build- the county when finished. They turned the work over to A. L.
