SAN DIEGO HIGHWAY
Work to be Begun on New Road With
 Imperial Valley.

Plans for the construction of a sec tion of the San Diego county high way system have been presented to the supervisors by Engineer Fletcher of the highway commission. The sec tion of highway to be constructed is the main road between San Diego city and Helix junction, seven and half miles in length and officially known as route Is, division 1.
 This road is a portion of a road seventy-seven miles in length, some times called the Imperial road ex- tending from San Diego city to the Imperial County line. For it's con struction $227,96O was allotted.
 In his report to the supervisors MT. Fletcher says:
 The road is one of the most i'm portant of the routes to be built, for many reasons, not the least of which is the need of an outlet for Imperial county, whose people now have no way of reaching San Diego except ov- CT an execrable road so bad in places as to be almost impossible except in cases of great necessity. The com mission therefore considers that the improvement of this road should be one of its first acts. It proposes to begin on both ends of the line, from San Diego east and from the Imperial line west"

EXTENSIVE TREE PLANTING
Hundreds Of Thousands ot Eueslypti Distributed Throughout the
 Valley.

A great improvement in the aspect of Imperial Valleys settled districts is being made by the tree growths in every section of the valley Par ticularly within the past three years has this phase Of development re- ceived general attention: and this spring broader foundations than ever before are being laid on this line.
 The eucalyptus trees that have gone into the ground this spring. were there no other tree planting under taken, would bring about notable difference in the appearance of this country within three or four years, yet this is but one feature of the tree planting movement But the eucalyp- tus, because of their remarkable growth, make probably the most mo- table showing. Within three years from their planting. provided they nave reasonable care, they form good shade and windbreaks, and make a pleasing break in the sky line of this level country
 Of eucalyptus trees alone, there have been shipped into Imperial Val ley since the first of the present year a total of 326, $50 This week a ship ment of 50,0O0 more of these trees will arrive at Fl Centro and all of them are to go out at once to valley settlers. The shipments of these trees already received this year are sufficient to plant about 500 acres of land. They are going out in small lots, generally, so that every part of the valley will receive benefit from this springs plantings. "'
 Richter Brothers, at Meloland, are setting out twenty five acres to euca- Iyptus, and on the Deerhead ranch, southwest of Fl Centro, twenty acres are to be planted to these trees.
 In addition to the eucalyptus plant ings, vast quantity of fruit and or namental trees have been set this season, and on many ranches the hum ble but useful cottonwood has been planted for borders and windbreaks

SAN DIEGO STANDS PAT
(San Diego Union.


 The opening of the isthmian canal will be celebrated by great inter national exposition in San Diego in 1915. This announcement has been made before. It is repeated with en- phasis now, because of the efforts that are being made in certain quar- ters to create the impression, that as result of that packed convention at Santa Barbara, this city contem- plates weakly accepting "compro- mise" which would make it appear ridiculous, or abandoning the entire exposition project, which action would subject San Diego to as deep humil- iation as was ever imposed upon a city.
 To any persons who may have been misled by the current reports about compromise or surrender, the Union wishes to say explicitly that the peo- ple of San Diego have no thought of either This city has gone too far, and it's position is too strong, to per init any relaxation of effort or aban- donment of purpose. San Diego is as firmly resolved today to carry out the great undertaking whose founda tions have been so substantially laid, as it has been at any time since the exposition project was first suggested.

Watching A Stomach
J Digest Food
Was the Means Whereby Science Made
Possible the Cure of Dyspepsia.
A Trial Package OF Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets Sent Free.

The Able Spallanzani was the first
scientist to study Systematically the
chemical powers of the gastric juice,
but it was by the careful and convinc-
ing experiments Of Beaumont that the
foundation Of our exact knowledge OF
its composition and action was laid.
Beaumont was an army surgeon, To-
Gated at an obscure military post in
Michigan, while it was yet territory,
and was called upon to treat a gun
shot wound of the stomach in Cana
dian voyageur-Alexis st. Martin.
When the wound healed a permanent
opening was left by means Of which
food could be placed in the stomach
and gastric juice taken from it.
Beaumont made scientific expert
mentS with his crude means and wrote
a book, which today is recognized
among the classics of physiology.
Beaumont blazed the way for other
scientists so that today medicine
knows what the stomach does with
food and what food does to the stom-
ach.
Science also knows what the gastric
juices are and how to make them best
for the system.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, thanks
to the poor army surgeon and Alexis
st. Martin, give man a means of di-
gesting food, replenishing the exhaust
ed juices, soothing the nerves and cor
recting dyspeptic conditions of the
stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are nat
ural fruit and vegetable essences re-
duced In concentrated form and by ire
mendous power compressed into a tab
let. These wonderful little digestors
are known all over America and Can
ada. Full meals have been digested
by them in glass tubes and they are
sold by every druggist.
Physicians to the number of 10000
use them. They are meritorious and
powerful. Go to your druggist and buy
package today, price SOC, or send US
your name and address and we will
send you trial package by mail free

One of the floats in the late carni-
val parade was entitled Greece, and it.
like the rest, was a magnifcet pro-
duction. Pensacola has a large num-
Der of people from Greece within it's
borders, and they have very strong
association, known as the Antagonists
Greek Association of Pensacola. This
association had a meeting a few
nights since and official notice was
taken of the float dedicated to their
country. The notice resulted in the
passage of a resolution, copy of
which is as follows:
The Greeks Resolution.
Whereas, one of the features of the
magnificent parade on the evening of

"The Little Terror"

in The Little Terror" Amelia Weed
Holbrook has provided Miss Cecil
Spooner with the best starring vehicle
that that clever actress has had in
many seasons. The Little Terror
was originally short story which ap-
peared in Harper's Weekly under the
name Of Fitz James Mccarthy and it
was in this form Shat Miss Holbrook
first saw the wonderful dramatic pos
sibilities offered by the story. In
collision with Miss Spooner she has
constructed a four-act comedy drama
that is proving itself to be one of the
first attractions OF the current sea-
son.
Cecil Spooner when last seen here
presented q repertoire of four plays,
this year she has reverted to the one
play engagement. The repertoire
has served a good purpose. 1t has
broadened the art of this already clev-
er actress, has given better point to
her comedy and her emo;-onal work
has too improved to a marked de-
gree. AS usual Miss Spooner will
again present brilliant speciality of
her own origination.
The scenes of The Little Terror
are laid in New Mexico. This proves
4 new locale Tor a dramatic Onerlng
and special attention has been given
to a truthful defneation of life as it
is in this new country The charac-
ters of the new play have been drawn
by master mind; the plot has been
conceived by a writer that is thor
oughly conyersant with the subject in
hand. The company engaged by Mr..
Charles f. Blaney for Miss Spooners
support is an excellent one headed
by Augustus Phillips.
Special attention has been given to
the staging of the play. 1t has been
entirely under the personal supervis-
ion of Mr.. Blaney. This fact assures
the public a most complete perform
ance The Little Terror" with Miss
Spooner will be the attraction at the
opera house for an engagement of one
night only on Wednesday, Feb. Is.
