names from the list in the Second 56
and in the Third 16, a total of 100. AS
it rarely ever occurs that the total OF
those to be made qualify as voters, il

slight decrease in the total voting
strength of the town, this being prin-

only one is woman, a resident in the

Big Crop Movement.

The Southern Pacific Company has
practically completed one of the great
est crop movements in the history of
any transportation company in this
country. This movement was the
handling of the canteloupe crop of the
Imperial Valley, California, and of the
crop In Arizona and Nevada. Up to
and including midnight, July "a, the
Southern Pacific Company had shipped
1924 cars of canteloupes out of the I'M
perial Valley during the season of ap-
proAimately 2 months. About 100 more
cars remain to be shipped from this
point to the markets.
This record exceeds all previous ship
ments by approximately 1000 cars. The
canteloupe crop of Arizona up to and
including July "a, amounts to 4O9 cars,
with about 300 more cars of this fruit
to be shipped. About 2s cars have al
ready been shipped from the Moaps
district in Nevada, by the San Pedro
Los Angeles and Salt Lake road, abeu
100 more remaining to be shipped.
Nearly $1,000, 600 pounds of ice were

THE PANAMA EXPOSITION.
San Francisco win Make Some I'm
proVements.

The Panama exposition to be held in
San Francisco in 1915 will be radical
change from former expositions, in that
instead of holding the exhibits in some
grounds set aside for the purpose, it is
proposed to set aside parts of the city
and thus make use of the buildings
after the show is over. With this OBJ
iect in view the committee has decided
on the following as part of the selec-
ton:
Commencing at Telegraph Hill and
by means of a boulevard along the bay
front connecting, in turn, with the
Harbor View site, the Preside, Lincoln
Park and Golden Gate Park. The
length of the proposed boulevard is es-
timated at between eight and nine
miles.
These various sections of the site will
be connected also by an intermural
railroad, which, according to present
plans, will run along the south sides of
Harbor View and the Preside and then
break off, skirting Lincoln Park and
running through Richmond district to
Golden Gate Park.
At the Preside it is proposed that
the government erect buildings for its
exhibits that can afterwards be utilized
for division headquarters.
At Golden Gate Park is reserved for
permanent features only, so as to not
destroy any of its natural beauty.
Here will be located the art gallery anc
the museum, also the Japanese anc
Chinese gardens, fountains and statu
airy.
1t is purposed to make tie Stadium
the finest in the world and to build {
coliseum around it, Another feature
will be miniature Panama canal con
Meeting the lakes.
I The ferry at the foot of Marke
street is to be made the entrance to ex
position city. There will be CRANE
court and possibly, vladucts to conduc
passengers from either side of Marke
street.

required for the shipping of these can
teloupes. The biggest days picking
was June II when 1873 carloads were
harvested. These cars were hauled
from Brawley, the shipping center, to
Imperial Junction on the main line of
the Southern Pacific, in one train, the
ength of which was 6175 feet, consi-
d srably more than a mile long. There
were 324 crates in each car and 45
melons to the crate. or total number
of IA, $50 melons in each car, and in
t is Ions; train 1889, 40 melons. The
largest previous train load of, cante-
l)upes was shipped from the Imperial
Valley in 1869, SO cars moving over the
Southern Pacific lines to eastern points.
When one appreciates the fact that
each of these melons was handled at
least three times, in picking, wrapping
and creating, they can readily imagine
the army of men necessary in the field
to do this work.
Two and quarter million dollars is
the estimate of value put on the I'm
perial canteloupe crop, now that the
season is near its end. One feature OF
this years output, Is that despite its
size, the melons have been of better
quality than ever before.
