Last week three wise men of lmper- aal fearing to wait for county division until summer was over lest either Fl Centro would grow so fast as to take away all chance Imperial ever had ot capturing the county seat or that lm- perlal, now dying, would by that time be too dead to skin, concluded to do 1t
 now and to gain great glory by having it all in their own hands. So they ap
 pointed a committee of one hundred prominent citizens from all over the valley, a majority of whom could be counted on to favor their plans and called them to meet at Water com pany hall, Imperial. on May 2d. The program was carefully arranged and went through without hitch. Roy McPherrin, of the California Develop ment Co.,, was made chairman and Bert Chaplin, secretary. A. D. Med- hurst. of Fl Centro, was not one of the one hundred selected, but he secured a proxy and butted in. He got the floor and proceeded to tell the assemblage that the persons who appointed them had lot of gall to assume to act for the citizens of the valley without giving the citizens of the various towns and precincts an opportunity to select their own representatives and move that the meeting adjourn and that new meet inp be called two weeks hence the delegates to be selected by the people of the various precincts; the motion was seconded. but Attorney Farr raised a point of order that Medhurst was not a delegate. It was apparent to the chair that Medhurst would have to be souelched or he might queer the pro gram, so he promptly ruled that the meeting was purely private invitation affair and that no one who didn't have a printed invitation card with the mon oeram of the wise three could attend. That souelched Medhurst. Then At

REFRIGERATOR SERVICE
Southern Pacific Taking Up Matter of Refrigerator Car From Valley

w. D. PontIus, commercial agent of the Southern Pacific, while In Fl Centro, Wednesday, informed a Press representative that his mission to the valley this week was to look after the handling of the cantaloupe crop. He says the Southern Pacific company Is figuring on the establishment of daily refrigerator car service from points In the Imperial valley, to handle ship ments of butter, eggs and produce. The need for such a service had been called to the attention of railroad offlc- ials and they were not slow In taking the matter up. There will soon be, If not already, a sufficient amount of perlshable stuff to fill a car day and the railroad company Is to be com mended on its quick action in the mat ter.
 Such matters as these are what show to the greatest extent the importance to which the Imperial valley Is rising. The shipment of butter from the valley is increasing daily, likewise the ship ments of cream, eggs and other produce
 Every effort possible should by made by the farmers to produce such stuff as will require refrigeration during trans portation, for in these is the most mon ey made. Acres of lettuce, cucum- bers and tomatoes should be added to the present production of garden truck. Los Angeles will afford splendid mar ket for the early grown and the only competition the Imperial valley farmer will meet Is the output of hot houses. which will not be noticeable.
 Along this line lies innumerable chances here for the man who can se- cure a ten acre tract and farm 1t in- tenslvely. It is not idle talk that the income from such tract rightly titled will equal that of the 100 acre farms in the far eastern states, where the seasons are so short. The small farmer is the coming man and the s. P. is getting ready to handle his pro- duce.
