ALL FOR GOOD ROADS.

For several reasons San Diego coun- ty is keenly interested in the good roads movement in Imperial county. The two are near neighbors, and gen. erally speaking, anything that. is of advantage to one is more or less a benefit to the other San Diego coun- ty expects to establish in the near flu ture a system of first-class highways. The latter will be more valuable should they be supplemented by equally good roads on the other side of the Imper- ial county line. So people here will note with satisfaction the campaign in favor of improved highways that has been started in the new county. It may be remarked too, that those who have entered upon that cam paign are using the strongest kind of arguments.
 The arguments are applicable to San Diego county. Here, as in Imperial county, a bond issue for good roads will be a measure of economy. And it is not doubted that when bonding propositions are submitted, the voters of both counties will take that view San Diego Union

REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS
Volume Of Weeks Business Shows an Increased Activity in Buying and
 Selling of Valley Property.

A notable increase in the number of instruments filed for record in the office of the County Recorder the past week indicates a healthy tone to the real estate market In every town of the county property has changed hands during the past few days and the incoming of land-seekers is to be noted at every point of the coun. ty.
 With the issuance of Government patents, Imperial valley may reason ably expect one of the liveliest move ments in real estate it has yet had and in the mean time the number of transfers may be looked upon as an indication of the growing interest in realty here. The record of the past week is as follows.

ONE HUNDRED ACRES TO oRAN
 GES.

Edwin K. Alpaugh, president of the California Home Extension Company, and a member of the editorial party which visited Imperial Valley last week, announced while here his deter imitation of engaging in the cultiva- tion of citrus fruits in this valley on a large scale, and that he will plant 100 acres to orange trees in this val ley next spring. Mir Alpaugh has had much to do with large coloniza- tion schemes in various parts of Cal ifornia, and his decision to enter this field will mean much towards bring ing Imperial Valley new settlers, and especially those who are interested in the growing of citrus fruits He is an associate of M " Hartranft, of the Pacific Fruit World, who was also in the editorial party, and who is deep ly interested in the development of this valley.

HINT FOR VALLEY FARMERS
Success Scored By Ventura County Men in Growing of Luther Bur banks Crimson Winter Rhu-
 barb.

Joseph R. Loftus, who has eXten- sive Imperial Valley interests, has just returned from a trip to Ventura county where he has been investiga- ting the results attained in growing Luther Burbank's crimson winter rhu- highly enthusiastic over the possibil- ities of this plant in other sections. He has planted a section of his hold ings in the vicinity of Monrovia to the crimson winter rhubarb, and is so of the crop that he will plant 100 acres more.
 In the Ventura county district where rhubarb has been planted, about a dozen growers have growing forty acres. They have set 2,200 plants to the acre, and Mir. Loftus says the plants will average fifty pounds in weight.
 It is said that the New York mar ket alone can consume all that can be raised on 1000 acres, and it is be- lieved that a price of ten cents a pound can be maintained A com pany has been formed to exploit the Eastern markets, and it is expected that 150 carloads of winter rhubarb will be shipped to Philadelphia, from which center it will be distributed to other Eastern cities.

SHIPPED FOUR HUNDRED TUR-
 KEYS.

The Blackinton Sisters, located just east of Fl Centro, this week have shipped 400 turkeys to the Los Ange- les market, getting seventeen cents f. 0. b. El Centro therefor, They have fully as many more which will be ready for the Christmas market. They have found the Oklahoma wild tur- keys especially profitable here, as these turkey hens require no atten- ton whatever when nesting or bring ing off their young. They have the wild instinct for foraging for their young, and are keen after the worms and insects. It has been the exper- fence of the Backintons that the al falfa upon which the turkeys
 freely ranged produces mora than the fields which have bee free from the turkeys. They q

 . My dear MT. Wiggins:--
 have the honor to report that accompanied the Southern California Editorial Association on its trip to the Imperial Valley as representative of the Los Angeles Chamber of Com merce.
 I am free to say that while I had heard great deal of that territory from people who had either visited it, or who are residents of it. and had read in many publications of the fer tility of the soil and the abundance of the water, and the immense crops of every description produced by bring ing the soil and water together, I was not prepared to see the wonders which have been wrought in the Val ley in the last eight years, during two of which operations were nearly entirely suspended because of the in- pouring of the Colorado river.
 The story of the valley has never been fully told and perhaps cannot be, because of the immensity of the subject Suffice 1t, therefore, to say that the results which may be accom- plished in an agricultural and horticul- Rural way in the Imperial Valley by Rper application of brain and mus
