JOHNSON At SEA
ON DRY LAND

Stop her! Back ner! what's the
matter with that engineer" Cries
of this kind could be heard in the viein-
ity of the Seaside this morning. The
inhabitants of the cottages on the block
bounded by Levers Road, Kalakaua
Avenue and the old Beach road rushed
to the windows to see what was the
matter Nothing appeared wrong,
though they saw an automobile going
past at a high rate of speed. In
couple of moments the same scene was
repeated, then again the machine dash
ed past. Immediately the news was
spread that there was an endurance
race going on and that the block men
toned had been chosen as the course.
Finally someone shouted why, it's
Captain Pete Johnson, of the Hilonian,
didn't know he could run an auto"
Sure enough it was Captain johnson
but he certainly could run an auto.
The only trouble was that he couldn't
stop it. When it comes to navigating
Captain Johnson is strong. His full
pilots license entities him to handle
any sized craft, but he has never OBJ
tanned an engineers license. He vain
tried to find the handle of the gong
with which to give the signal of one
bell to the engine room, but not being
on the bridge Of the Hilonian he was
at sea, though still on dry land There
was no quartermaster on board to send
with a message and +. H. Petrie, the
owner of the craft, was lying on the
grass in commissions as he watched his
machine speeding around the Seaside
block.

third round of the course and soon the
auto was under control Johnson at
once resigned his job and asked to be
put back on the bridge of the Hilonian
where he thought he would feel more
at home.
1t seems that this morning Petrie
and Johnson started to come down
town in the formers auto and after it
had been cranked someone called the
owner one side, leaving johnson seated
in the benzine 3barouche. He knew
how to start the tarnation thing going

he was in pilikia. Hence the above
account which is well vouched for.

GRAIN AND GROCERIES
Expansion of Business Leads to Build ing Of Large Warehouse at
 El centro.

The Imperial Grain and Milling Co. has taken legal steps to change the corporations name to the Imperial Valley Mercantile Company.
 This is another indication of the evolution of the desert into a great productive valley and the change of conditions from those prevailing when this valley was opened as an agri- cultural settlement. The company was formed when it was supposed that Imperial Valley would develop into a wheat-raising district and that mills might be erected here to handle this product.
 c. A. Mead was the moving spirit in this organization and was the pio- neer handler of produce in this val ley. He brought in the first carload of hay, sending it to Flowing Wells by train and thence to Imperial by teams. Mir Mead is now in the val ley looking after the new develop ments of the company.
 It has been found advisable to en- large the scope of the corporation, and it will become a general distri- butor of grain and wholesale grocer ies. The corporation, which has a large warehouse at Imperial, owns the warehouse at Heber and the one at Fl Centro, and is negotiating for more trackage facilities for the purpose of providing for the erection of an i'm mense warehouse at Fl Centro, which will be the main point of distribution.
