IMPERIAL VALLEY SEEKS
CHEAPER FREIGHT RATES
RANCHERS DECLARE RAILROAD
pIscRIMlNATES
Fresno and Bakersfield Hay Rate is
Said to Be Much Less to Los
Angeles, While Travel
Is Greater

Ell CENTRIC, Sept 7.-Imperial valley ranch-
ers feel that the time has come to seek an
adjustment in freight rates on hay. and that
an unjust discrimination is made against this
valley. They believe that only the concerted
action Of the valley civic bodies is needed to
induce the Southern Pacific company to make
the proper equalization.
Hay growers in this valley feel that they are
entitled to freight rate on that commodity
that will at least be as low as that granted
the ranchers of the San Joaquin valley. The
rate on baled hay per ton from Ell Centro to
Los Angeles at $780, The rate from Fresno
TO Los Angeles is $3.50 per ton. and from
Bakersfield to Los Angeles but So per ton is
charged. The haul, 1t is claimed, is a longer
one than from Ell Centre to Los Angeles
1t is estimated that there were from $4,000
to $4,000 pounds Of alfalfa seed planted in the
Imperial valley last season. and this will make
, producing fields this fall, in addition to the
5000 10, 900 acres of alfalfa already planted
conservative estimate places the probable
| valley this coming fall and winter from 1900
| to 1900 tons.
With such shipment as this in sight, a
reduction of freight rates from 81 so to 50 per
ton means much to the ranchers
| The subject was presented to the El Centre
Ten Thousand club at its last meeting by A.
| s. Fell. who asked the cooperation of the
club In securing an adjustment of rates. The
club indorsed the project and adopted a reso-
luton asking the county chamber of COM
merce to take up the matter at once and en-
deavor to secure a conference with Southern
Pacific officials to present the matter.
