EIGHT EARS TO THE HILL.

P. E. Carr, proprietor of the Midland Stock Farm, two and a half miles northwest of Calexico, sent to the Morning Star office, Thursday, hill of field corn that would be hard to excell The stocks are from five and a half to six feet high, and contain eight full, heavy ears of corn. The corn will be sent to the Imperial county exhibit in the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce. A fine collec- tion of oranges, lemons, grape fruit and quinces from the Townsend ranch, generally known as the Kloke ranch, will also be sent to this exhibit.

BONDS FOR GOOD ROADS.

Some timorous over-thry citizens shake their heads deuy when bonds mentioned and croak that the county afford pay interest bond issue Nothing paner the who thinks however than that Imperial County afford issue bonds for the building of practicable highways.
 An issue of $0000 forty road bonds would mean the payment interest each for the next ten provision for sinking fund being required for the first fourth of the year the county spent $OO roads and hasn't good show for the The levy for road tax sixty cents $1OO will yield than three times the amount of bond $00OO Indeed the county could issue bonds spend the building good roads the interest usual road and do all with tax rate lower than the present rate
 bond would bring capital into the county for invest every piece of property the valley and the every load of produce hauled to market Good expedite settlement of the farming lands and enormously the volume and value of products No other possible public funds could bring such direct returns to every settler in the valley
 The investment would be cumulative and constantly progressive The growth in population productivity wealth following the construction of system of good high ways throughout the valley would the establishment of industries and the investment of private capital terprises.
 short the economical thing the county could do would be ongem bonds for large amount and the money in enhancing the of all property within it's de The county cannot afford without good roads longer than is unavoidable

The Imperial Valley table at the Chamber of Commerce in Los Angeles is by far the largest single center of attraction in that center of exhibits. There is greater demand there for literature concerning the valley, it's accomplishments and possibilities, than is reused by any of the counties or sections of the State represented ty has been so slow to provide a repre- sentative exhibit and attractive litera- ture, for both of these would have been of inestimable value in inducing homeseekers to make personal inves- tigation of our unquestionable advan- tages. These lacks are however being met by the present action of the var ious bodies acting through the county Chamber of Commerce and the activity of the local committee.
 During the past week not less than a hundred different persons have made inquiry concerning this valley of Miss Rose Clifford, the representative of the County Chamber of Commerce and of Dr. Shepherd, who has been represent ing the Ten Thousand Club in Los Angeles. The opportunities are just beginning to be realized and if they are met with the enthusiasm which marks the work of the upstate coun- ties there will be a marked increase of the most desirable sort of immi- grants into the valley.
