Strangers in Ell Centre today may

leans have
There are about 220,OvJ acres of the
valley in crops, 100000 acres in bar

garden patches.
The irrigation district formed last
July embraces 365.00O, or 1000 acres
for each day in the year, if you wish
to inspect it carefully
The irrigated area now is growing
at the rate of about 10000 acres. a
year, which means that there is annu-
ally added to the valley a cultivated
area as big as the Redlands or River
side district, and we can go on add
ing a Riverside each year for six years
more before we reach the full dimen
sions of the district
An irrigated section will(support one

RAILROAD RUMORS ARE

railroads, which patched together
may imply the extension of the Rock

afloat that a road will be built from
Oceanside to Warmers ranch, and
that a survey is being made across the
desert south of Salton Sea, which
would apparently be pointing for the
San Felipe and Warmers ranch.
