SAN DIEGO AND EASTERN
SpreckeIs and Herrin in Conference
 Over New Railroad Plans

A close confab between John D. Spreckels and w. F. Herrin in Los Angeles and trip to San Diego in the Spreckels private car lead the Examiner to believe that there is something in the re- port that the Southern Pacific is behind the San Diego and East ern proJect. Both men were in- terviewed and as might be ex- pected, were non-commital in their answers to the reporter. MT. Spreckels said: We have made no arrangements for east ern connections after reaching Yuma. This matter I shall take up two years hence. do not deny, however, that we are con- templating connections with the Southern Pacific, M., K. & T., Rock Island, the Phelps-Dodge interests and other railways building towards El Paso. We have made no decision. so far.
 We are progressing rapidly with the building of our line and hope to have it completed from San Diego to Yuma within the limit stated some time ago, that of two years. In the meantime we may arrange traffic connec- tions with other roads. "
 MT. Herrin was asked if the Southern Pacific would take over the new railroad being built by the Spreckels interests. His re- ply was: I cannot say; that is out of my jurisdiction. am go- ing to San Diego with MT, Spreckels as there are some inn portant things we must talk over, but the consummation of any such deal as the absorption of the San Diego and Eastern Rail- way l cannot discuss. Other au- thorities than myself are alone in position to talk thereon. "
 Railroad builders are not shout ing their purposes from the housetops, but all signs point to Southern Pacific control of the Spreckels project. The line will enter Imperial Valley by way of Carrizo pass, where tunnel work is already under way, and the shortest line of connection would bring the junction to Fl Centro.

Experiments Demonstrate That This Region Can Be Made The Dixie Land of California. Three Bales Per Acre an Average Yield. Estimated Profits of the Crop.

ton. Assuming that the yield would average only two bales to the acre, the value of cotton and seed would be from $12O to $40, of which one half would be net profit, the labor cost of the crop being reckoned at fifty per cent. If the plants grown by Mir. Aten can be regarded as fair samples of what Imperial Valley soil and climate are capable of producing, however, the acre-value would exceed that estimate consider ably.
 An indispensable factor in the production of cotton is the gin, and as it costs about $5OOO to put up a cotton gin, the small grower could not handle his pro- duct independently. A custom gin would be required and there are Texas cotton men in El Gen. tro ready to put up such plant when, assured of sufficient acre. age to justify the investment. From 800 to 1000 acres planted in cotton would insure the estab- lishment of a gin.
 MT. Aten intends to continue his experiments by planting a larger area next season and giv- ing careful attention to cultiva- tion in order to determine just what can be expected of the cot ton crop in Imperial Valley, and it is probable that other Texans familiar with the industry will follow his lead.
 Pertinent to the matter is the display of cotton plants in the Yuma exhibit at the Arizona fair, concerning which the Re- publican says:
 "Cotton raising is destined to be a Yuma county industry and the best cotton in the world at that, the Egyptian cotton which demands the higest price in the market. The experiment station at Yuma sends a cotton plant of this variety eight feet high, heav- fly ladden with the fruit. From the same farm come plants also of Rogers Big Boil and Columbia varities. It is claimed the Rogers produces three bales to the acre.
