the railroad center of Imperial Val ley and of southeastern California.
 Grading for the various extensions to the El Centro yards of the South ern Pacific Railroad was completed yesterday. Tracklaying is in D og- ress and will be completed the latter part of next week. These additions give El Centro an important place in railroad equipment, and indicate' the big things in store for this city, when it becomes a junction point for the Southern Pacific and the San Diego & Arizona Railroad.
 An extension to the storage tracks running from the Holton Inter-Urban Railroad northerly makes this track a full mile and 8 quarter in length, and almost doubles the storage capa- city of that part of the yards.
 A passing track has been graded from a point to the south of Main street, on the east side of the branch line, and extending to a point oppos- ite the stock yards. A storage track has been graded from the stock yards to Maple avenue, or a point adjoin- ing the alfalfa meal mills.
 A grade has been constructed for a track to run along the west side of the depots, and tracks have been laid to the alfalfa meal mills and the Simons Brick Companysc plant.
 Much storage room will be requir- ed at once for the accommodation of cars loaded with material for the new railroad to extend west from El Centro; and the Southern Pacific is also making provision for handling many carloads of cotton next sea son.

Valley Growers Propose to Operate Oil and Feed
 Mill Here.
Organization of Company on Strict
 Business Foundation Urged at Meet
 ina of Cotton Planters-Seed of This Years Crop to Finance Enterprise Outsiders Eager to Seize Opportunity

The first steps toward the incor- poration of a stock company of I'm perial Valley cotton growers, to build and operate oil mills, gins and com press, establish warehouses and stor- age yards and assist the grower ln producing and marketing cotton were taken at a meeting held in the op- era house at El Centro last Wednes- day afternoon. Planters and busi- ness men from all parts of the val ley attended the meeting were vir- tually unanimous in approval of the proposition made by MT. Loftus, pres ident of the original association Of growers. A committee was appoint ed to report scheme of organiza- tion at a meeting to be held at the same place on the afternoon of Wed day, February 16
 Mir Loftus called the meeting to order and explained its object sub stantially as follows:
 This meeting is really celebration of one of the biggest events that ever occurred in the valley, one of the most important events in the industrial his tory of Califorria-the demonstration of this regions perfect adaptability to the growing of cotton. There are a few doubters in the land, but those who have tried 1t know that cotton growing in Imperial Valley is a great success. We can get all the financial backing we need, but 1t is for us to determine whether we shall let out side capital come in and take great profits from investment in our in- dustries or so manage our business as

Construction of the eastern section of the San Diego & Arizona railroad, from El Centro to New River, will b. begun within a few days. H. M. Mitch ell, engineer in charge, came to El Centro this week, and w. F. Holt will let contracts for grading next week. Last Wednesday twentyone deeds Of railroad rights of way, covering the line from El Centro to New River were recorded. The deeds are to W! F. Holt, not to ehe Inter-Urban Railroad Co.,, which is ostensibly building the line as an extension of it's system, and it is apparent that the rights of way were so taken that they may be trans ferred to some company behind the project.
 It is significant that the rights of way follow precisely the survey made by the San Diego & Arizona engi- neers for their final location and cover the exact point on New River fixed by these engineers as the loca- tion of their bridge. It is not like ly that the Inter Urban would ap- proprate a survey and bridge loca- tion made by the San Diego & Ari- zona, nor is it reasonable to suppose that a small company like the Inter- Urban would build into a territory to ha covered hv tranScOntinental l system. Obviously if the lnter-U ban were building the line, the rights of way would have been taken in the name of that company instead of in the name of an individual.
 Everything indicates clearly that the railroad building west from Ell Centro is a part of the San Diego x Arizona and that El Centro is to be

Plant at Fl Centro In Active Operation and Serving
 Many Patrons,
Pressure and Quality of Gas Found Satisfactory by Users and Solve Problem of Domestic Fuel Supply -The Extension to Imperial is Nearly Completed.

Gas is now being served to Fl Gen. tro residents by the Imperial Valley Gas Company. A test of the new plant located in the industrial district to the north of the steam power plant, was made on February 1, and deliv- cry of gas to the mains proved satis factory in all respects. Immediately thereafter customers who had the ser vice pipes connected with their ranges were notified that they could begin using the gas and seventy-five homes at once began the use of this con venient and satisfactory fuel
 Those who have used gas in other Southern California cities are pleas ed with the quality of the service here. The pressure Is strong and steady, and the quality of the gas is satisfactory,
 Fully half of the residences of El Centro will be supplied with gas ser vice at once. It is believed that no town of equal population any where in the West will be able to show such extensive gas consumption as will El Centro within the present season,
 The main from the plant at El Centro to Imperial, four miles dis tant, has been laid and several thous- and feet of the distributing system have been laid in Imperial's streets The company will be prepared to serve customers in Imperial on or about March 1.
 The plant here has a capacity Oi 3O,OOO cubic feet of gas, sufficient tC serve a city of 10000 or more inhabi- tants,

to make the profits for ourselves. The plan suggested is that we form stock company exclusively for grow CTS. No money is to be paid for stock, but each grower is to subscribe the lull amount of seed obtained from this years crop, deducting what he de- sires to reserve for planting, at the rate of say fifteen dollars a ton, and receive stock in proportion. The seed from 25,000 acres would give the com pany a capital of $1S7000, which is sufficient to put up oil mills, gins, compress and warehouses and provide funds for operating the plant. Each stockholder would give to the com pany his note for the value of his seed, and with that security the com pany can borrow all the money re- quired, giving also a mortgage on the plant The profits of an oil mill would be sufficient to pay off the loan the first year and the growers would get
 
 clear
 This, we think, should be strictly business proposition and the com pany should be managed on business principles. The directors and mana gers should be the most efficient men we can find and they should be paid for their services as in the citrus as- sociations. This is the time for us to start right and get together for the general good, putting aside selfshness and giving of our time and money for the benefit of the valley as whole company as have outlined can helI every grower of cotton. It can save to him warehouse fees and insurance charges and it can establish a special grade for Imperial cotton Our cot ton should not be graded with South ern cotton of the same length of sta pie. Spinning tests prove that it is at least third better because of its greater strength and we should gel higher price. We can count safely on bale to the acre as an average crop, and this year we should plan at least 25,OOO acres and bring more than a million dollars in cash into the valley even at the low price O. ten cents a pound for lint. My urgen advice to the farmers of the valley il that they plant cotton and get to gether for the management of thei own business on intelligent business principles"
 Secretary Srack presented figures il support of the plan outlined, Fron 25,OOO acres, he said, at least 25.0O
Imperial Valley press., 1910-02-05

bales should be produced and at 12 cents a pound the lint would bring $1 500,000 The value of 12,500 tons of seed, above the cost of manufac- ture of oil and meal, would be $347.- 75O. An oil mill company of the South had proposed to put up a mill in the valley if the growers would contract to deliver at ten dollars ton for two years, and figured on clearing tidy profit of $346,000 in that time. The company had offered to make it worth his while to induce the grow CTS to accept the proposition, and he had no doubt it could well afford to pay $50,000 commission to a success full promoter of the scheme. Evident ly there was big money in the oil business and the growers might as well get it for themselves as give it to outsiders Mr. Srack figured that the seed from 25,000 acres this year should build mill, gins, compress and warehouses and leave a clear profit to the growers of $175 ,000.
 Mir Wilhite presented some statis- tics compiled by oil mill men on the by products of cotton. One ton of seed yields 3S gallons of oil, which at 39
