To Commence Survey for New Road

Preliminary work in preparation for the commencement of the survey of the San Diego and Arizona railroad Is being done under the supervision of E. ]. Kalrght, who arrived from San Francisco in company with President John D. Spreckels.
 Mr. Spreckels announced that Mr.. Kalright would have charge of the surveying of the route for the road to Yuma, and also that he would have charge of the construction of the line.
 Engineer Kallrlght is a man of many years experience in the railroad busl- ness, having been in charge of the construction of the San Joaquin valley road which was built by the Spreckels interests and later sold to the Santa Fe.
 The rights of way for the railroad through the city are rapidly being se- cured, many owners of the property named in the condemnation suit talk Ing advantage of the opportunity to get ready money for other investment at this time when every piece of real es- tate in the city Is in demand.
 The officers of the San Diego & Arizona announce that the freight yards of the railroad will be located between Main street and Pierce avenue and Sampson street and South Eighteenth street.
 The space given to the yards will be eight blocks in length and 300 feet wide, giving ample room for large freight sheds as we'll as for a number of tracks.
 The freight sheds will be built with an eye to the future and modern, well equipped and up-to- date buildings will be constructed.

CREAMERY TALK
"A Creamery Here Would Mean a Big
 Saving to Both Town and Country

There is being shipped from Fl Gen. tro some twenty-five cans of cream each day for which the ranchers are credited about 800 pounds of butter fat. The people at Los Angeles who receive this cream are said to have stated to some of the people of the Valley that they (the Los Angeles milk and butter company make an over-run of 30 per cent or 24O pounds, which at present prices is sold wholesale at about 37c or $88.8O At this average fo! one year the ranchers of this sec ton are kindly giving these people a "hand-out" of $30,l92.OO beside very generously paying the freight to the amount of about 4c per pound of butter fat. The people here have at their disposal lots on which to construct a creamery, apart of the necessary stock is subscribed and paid in but not enough to warrant the commencement of actu- al building.
 The claim of this Los Angeles but ter company is not exaggerated. It's only the repetition of every such con- cern that handles the farmers products Ranchers of the Valley, is 1t good business for you to sit idly down and submit to this tax on your labors?
 Business people of Fl Centro, what does 1t mean to you to lose $3O,0O0 per year from circulation here1 Will cream in Los Angeles when from two to six days old, without care make bet ter butter than can be made here by best, up to- date methods2 We can have the best here just as we'll as any place and the producer of dairy prod ucts can handle his own goods from COW to consumer without the assistance of any middle man. Quality sells these goods. We have the best of feed and stock and with a creamery of best construction at a cost of $5,o00 to $6,Ooo all will be complete and we will add manufacturing industry to the town of which all may be justly proud,
 It Is high time those most vltally interested get together and see to it that creamery Is built here and thus keep this money at home. Every dollar kept In the Valley means just so much more improvement and advance ment and the sum of $3o,ooo or there abouts would help some.
