Heard by Commissioners.

Bates Warren and others, who contem-
plate the erection Of an apartment house
at 1410 NJ street northwest, but whose
plans have been objected to by Mr.. Frank
w. Hackett, were granted a hearing by
the board of District Commissioners today.
Because of the objection by Mr.. Hackett
the approval of the building inspector has
been withheld. No decision was announced
as a result of the hearing.
During the hearing it was stated that Mr..
Hackett had approached the persons who
contemplated the erection of the apartment
house with a proposition to buy his Hack-
ett's) property at a price which Mr.. War
rem thought exorbitant. The proposition
was refused, and thenceforth Mr.. Hack
ett's opposition developed, according to Mr.
Warren. In a letter sent to the Commits
sioners today Mr.. Hackett says the only
way he can defend himself is to fight fire
with fire and build an apartment house
himself.

REALTY OFFICE CHANGES.
New Phase of Business on New York
York Avenue.

One of the few remaining residences on
the south side of the block New York
avenue Just east of and adjoining the cor
ner of 14th street is to be remodeled so that
it can be used for business purposes. The
first floor has been leased for long term
by Stone & Fairfax, who intend to use 1t
for their uptown real estate office in con-
nection with their present offices, S04-SOS
f street.
A short distance east is the building
which Mr. James NJ. Green bought when he
sold his property, I'll 18th street, three
years ago to Mr. Walsh The latter added
it to the ground he had already bought and
where he has since erected the Colorado
building, Mr.. Green opened his real estate
office at No. 1886 and was the pioneer
broker on that block. Since then the real
estate offices of Gasch & Birge have been
opened at No. 1926.
Mr.. Ben. B. Bradford, another real estate
broker, has just arranged to remove his
offices into Mr.. Green's building, as his
street, is about TO expire. 1t is the inten-
ton of the owner of the last named prop
erty, Mr. James NJ. Johnston, to remodel
the building. The first story will be ex-
tended back to the alley.
1t appears that the rumor of the sale of
this property was not correct, and that Mr..
Johnston did not receive, as reported, an
offer of $4,000

 weeks to say nOthing of the transporta tion of heavy machinery used ill the harvesting of the crops, and the present condition of the roads presents very discouraging outlook to those who have to move this crop. These conditions will last just as long as lenient public will permit them to last, but matters have come to the point where talk ol issuing warrants is of daily occurarce A movement is on foot for all citizens of the Valley interested in good roads and their protection from indifferen irrigators to meet at the office of Water Company No. l, Wednesday, May 3, to organize a Good Road Association to look after our roads.
 We can elect officers and an executive committee to see that our main travelled roads become accepted county roads without delay and a warrent be issued by the association for every person guilty of flooding roads, to be prosecuted by the said association from a fund created by it's mem bers. This will give united action, avoid personalities and permit no offender to escape. No man cares to cause the arrest of his neighbor or personal friend, but under the asso- citation the object which he secretly wishes the other fellow to do would be 
 Further we are paying into the office of the county treasury, taxes on an assessed valuation running into the millions and are we getting anything back in just proportion to what we pay?

A BUMPER CROP BELOW THE
 LINE
FOrtv-six Thousand Acres Of Growing Wheat and all Looking Fine
 A MMI for Packard

Wih bo OHo t%ESCSC CrOb Ot WnedC DelOW
 Che line tkat was ever harvested in
 Lower California. Not only is tliere d
 greater acreage than was ever before
 planted but the prospects are that the
 yield per acre will doubly discount any.
 thing that ever happened.
 General Manager Packard and all the
 others interested below the line are jubi-
 'ant and are already planning for caring
 for the harvest which is coming on
 rapidly for with the big acreage and the ample moisture the country has had good growing weather and the grain is looking "fine and dandy"
 When the weather and rain indicate that there was a good chance for biz crop Manager Packard and others began putting an all the acres Ghey could so Chat at present there are close to 27, ,OOO acres of com pany 4and in wheat while Mr. Packard, himself has l4,OOO acres and there are possibly 5000 acres of grain belonging entirely to other people.
 Beside the grain referred to in the fore going there will be quite crop of wheat an the country below the line on what is or has been known as tt.e desert side of the mountains-over toy Mexicali and CaIexlco, whicR, are the twin towns on the border line, the former in Mexico and the latter in the United States. Some of that grain will be carried 'around Robin Hoods barn'' to the mlD at Ensenad to be ground but that will be for this year only as other arrangements will be made before the close of another year.
 The fouv mill at Ensenada is being operated at present bat not on the new crop as that will not be coming in for some time. The mill is working up all ] of the left over wheat from two years l ago so that it will have clean slate to 1 begin business on when the new crop begins to come in.
 There is a very heavy duty on wheat imported into Mexico, amounting to as much assoc (Mexican) per ton. For that reason it is going to pay to ship wheat from Mexicali around through Riverside, San Bernardino and Orange counties to San Diego and then by steamer to Ensenada. It will of course come through this country in bond and and there will be no duty to pay at En- senada. When the Ensenada mill gets to work on the new crop it will be operated night and day for when there is wheat to grind the mill is big money maker.
 Some years ago the Deveopment Co. erected mill at San Quintin but it was operated only one or two seasons be- cause the failure of the rains caused a failure of the wheat crop. It is under stood that this mill is to be taken to pieces and shipped to Packard, the new station on the Southern Pacific railroad. the first below the line after Mexicali on new line to Yuma.
 The wheat crop in that land of the Hardy river and the Andrada tract is to be big one in all future years if the of those who have watched the Imperial Valley and it's southern neigh bors is correct and a Touring mill at Packard can hardly fail to be a biz money maker-IJniOn

AFTER THE SHOUTING.

The making of peace is greeted with
worldwide tumult of grateful accla-
nation, save perhaps, for a certain
limited lamentatiOn among some Jap
anese. 1t is fitting that it should be so.
If ever the world had occasion for re-
joicing it has now. Yet we must re-
member, as we shall quickly realize,
that "the tumult and the shouting
dies" This joyous enthusiasm will
subside, and in some quarters be fol-
lowed probably by reaction while in
all quarters it will give place to calm
consideration of the net results of the
war and of the peacemaking. Without
assuming extraordinary gifts of pres
cience, it is not difficult even now to
forecast in some degree that Judgment
of the future. There need be no hest
, tation in expecting the universal credit
which the President has won to remain
undiminished and unimpaired. No chief
of state has more nobly done a nobleT
work than he, and the unparalleled
Outburst of tributes to him, from rulers
and peoples, is a vocal prelude to the
measured and enduring judgment OF
history. Whatever may result from the
peacemaking, the peacemaker will be
held in honor.-New York Tribune.

Colonel William Geisler Mayor of

honeymoon trip, and thus expresses
himself as to Rockefeller:
The real oil men of this country do
not hate Mr.. Rockefeller or the Stand
ard Oil Company. In Kansas there is
not the widespread hatred of the man
and his business methods that people
suppose. I've been in the oil business
since the Civil War, and have had
dealings with Rockefeller and the
Standard during all the time, and 1
have always found him to be fair and
square. 1t would be well to stop this
clamor against Rockefeller. think
he is just business man and a moral,
upright citizen"
