Los Angeles Examiner: Not less
than 100000 for the construction of
the ocean-to- ocean highway from Los
Angeles to Yuma by way of Cotton,
Beaumont. Banning, Coachella and
Brawley."
Adopting resolution to this effect,
representative business and profession
al men of Los Angeles answered
question yesterday which literally was
flung at them by the business interests
of Arizona and Imperial valley.
The occasion was the meeting at the
Chamber of Commerce of the members
of the Los Angeles, Cotton. Yuma
Ocean to Ocean Highway auxiliary.
What are you going to do about
it?" Numbered George p. Bullard at
torney general of Arizona. I'VE Ari-
zonans are coming to the coast and
we are coming along the lines of least
resistance. We will come to Los An
geles if we can, or we will go to san
Diego"
They got their answer in the real
Los Angeles way. Stoddard Jess, vice
president of the First National bank,
fired the broadside that electrified the
meeting. When the smoke cleared,
Secretary J. J. Jenkins read the follow
ing motion, which was unanimously
adopted:
BE il resolved, that it is the sense
of this meeting that the finance com
mittee shall raise a fund of not less
than $780, 900 to improve the road along
the route of the Ocean to- Ocean high
way from Los Angeles to Yuma, via
Cotton, Beaumont, Banning, Coachella
| and Brawley, subscriptions to this fund
payable in 20 per cent installments."
Motley H Flint was there, so, too,

/ BY their action yesterday afternoon,
these men assured the almost immedi-
/ ate construction of that portion of the
Ocean-to- Ocean highway that lies be-
( tween Los Angeles and Yuma. Not
/ less" than 100000 will be raised, and
| il is the determination of every mem
Der of the organization to increase the
amount by another hundred thousand
dollars before they are through.
The construction Of the highway
which for weeks has literally lain In
the balance of doubt is now an assured
reality. Ii means that TO Los Angeles
will come the thousands Of autoists
mho are expected 10 Wend their way
from the eastern states during the com
ing months.
But of far greater moment TO the
business men of Los Angeles is the
I fact that the action taken yesterday
by these representative men who have
had to do with the wonderful building
of this southwestern empire means
the rapid development of 100000 acres

FOR INTER COUNTY ROADS

II means that, whereas Los Angeles
business men at the present time re-
ceive yearly revenue Of $1,000, 900
from the Salt River valley Of Arizona.
they will put themselves in the way
of receiving ten times this amount.
Good roads are the best investment
the citizens of this great city can
make" was the statement yesterday
of Stoddard Jess, financier who has
the important duty of investing
more money in the course of week
than the average man sees in a life
time.
The enthusiasm of the meeting sell
dom has been equaled in this city.
sydney III. Butler, chairman of the
board of supervisors, told how the
members of that board had been con-
templating a levy tax of 10 cents on
the hundred dollars for the purpose of
building permanent roads each year in
Los Angeles county from the fund so
raised. We are powerless to aid you
in this great undertaking." said Mr..
Butler. but you have the assurance
that we will give you every foot OF
road needed that lies in this county
/
eastern county"
Mr. Butler was interrupted for the
moment by II. w. Haldeman, head OF
the II. M. Boynton company, and the
following motion hardly had been put
by him before it was a part of the
records of the meeting:
BE ii resolved, that it is the sense
of this meeting that this organization
indorses the contemplated policy of :hs
board of supervisors"
Supervisor Butler resumed his talk
and in calm, dispassionate manner
welded few facts together that
showed the members of the organiza.
tion how they could almost demand aid
from the California state board OF
highway engineers.
You have right to demand a;d
from the state" said Mr.. Butler.

OOD ROADS NOW

~ Citizens of Los Angeles have
gone on record as determined to raise
a fund of 100000 for the construction
of a good highway to connect that city
with Yuma via Brawley. This action
follows the action of San Diego in rails
ing $4,000 to build a road in this coun-
ty and the perfection of arrangements
by the supervisors of Imperial county
to raise about $40, 900 for general road
purposes.
The reason for other counties con-
tributing for road construction in this
county is that the roads are to traverse
uninhabitable deserts, and the other
counties are fully as much interested
as is Imperial county in the building
of the roads.
In the work it has undertaken it is to
be hoped Los Angeles will select a
route of the greatest benefit to all
parties concerned, and this most en-
phaticaIly implies that the road shall
come southwark from Brawley and
thence eastward by way of Holtville to
Yuma, rather than by way of Mann
moth.
In the one case the traveller would
traverse about fifty miles of cultivated
territory. In the other case it would
barely touch the cultivated area.
As Los Angeles alleges that it de-
sires to open up communication with
this valley, it is to be expected it will
change its plans and follow the only
route that can open communication.
II should come TO the attention Of
Los Angeles that it will be necessary to
maintain the road, and if the road is
built by way of Mammoth this county
will have no interest in maintaining
the road east Of Brawley, while if il
goes by way of Holtville it will become
an important factor in the county's
highways.

BETTER THAN JUMBO

Saturday Evening Post: The big
circus of Barnum & Bailey was not
ALWAYS under one management. For
MANY years Mr.. Bailey ran a small
show of his own, doing his best in the
small towns while Mr.. Barnum stopped
only at the large cities.
AT this time Bailey owned the big
eIenhant. Jumbo-the largest in cap
tivitv. Barnum had sent his agents to
purchase IT, but without avail Mr..
Bailey refused to set a price. Then
Mr.. Barnum telegraphed to his com
petitor:
II will give you ten thousand dollars
for Jumbo. p. T. BARNUM."
No answer came. On the third day
he passed through a small town where
Bailey was to show on the following
day. Every billboard in town was plas
tered with monster reproductions o.
his identical message and signature
mfxed i'm with the usual advertising OF
the Bailey show. With grin Barnum
turned to his assistants.
.It isn't Jumbo we want, he toid
them; tits Bailey"
The next year il was Barnum q

FLOODS MAY Be RUN
INTO USEFUL CHANNELS

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 19.-That the
county will have, to spend approxi-
mately $4,000. 900 in building a flood
controlling system on the Los Angeles
river is the contention Of Frank II
Olmstead and Frank Gillelen, civil en-
gineers appointed by the board of su-
pervisors year ago to investigate
river and harbor conditions and rec
ommend improvements. The report
will be made November 1. 1t has not
been completed as certain surveys re-
main to be made in connection with
the rivers channel. This channel, they
say, has never been properly mapped
out.
Hundreds of thousands of tons of
silt accumulate in the harbor annually
as the result of floods they assert, and
unless the controlling system shall be
built it will be necessary to spend
a fortune each year to dredge out
the debris and maintain the desired
depth
with a controlling system at the
mouth of San Gabriel canyon, where
that river leaves the mountains. they
checked, the passage of the silt
stopped and the food waters divert
ed in a number If channels and prove
a boon to irrigation.
Dredging the silt out of the har-
Dor each year would be in the end
far more costly than the construction
of the controlling plant, they aver, and
the food waters which now 60 to waste
would be utilized.
These flood waters, diverted into
many channels and spreading out over
the surrounding country would sink
into the soil and raise the water level
of most of that section between the
mountains and the sea for miles on
each side of the river proper" said
Engineer Gillelen.
Hundreds of wells are being dug
by agriculturists in the section of
which we speak. and every foot Of
well they sink costs money. If the
food waters are diverted and utilized.
the agriculturists will find water at a
50foot level where they now have to
go down 100 feet or more.
THE controlling system would be
on the order of a great dam, the
only dlnerence being that the waterS
would be permitted to flow over it,
The accumulation of the silt in the
harbor is a new question, the only
solution of which is the controlling sys-
tenn the dredging. and the control
ling system is the more economical.
1t would cost the county fortune
each year to dredge out the hundreds
of thousands of tons of silt that come
down with the foods.
1T seems that the erection of the
plant is the only logical remedy il
we wish 10 have a good harbor We
can never have deep water unless the
accumulation of silt is stopped.
Another thing, the controlling plant
would dot would prevent the de-
struction Of thousands Of dollars worth
of property each year by the floods"

THE FRUIT PROSPECTS

L In undertaking to review the fruit
prospects of Imperial valley in series
of editorials. the Press turns first 10
that fruit which pays a higher reve-
nue. than any other, pears.
People who have studied recent hor-
ticultural history will concede this fact,
though it may surprise others.
few years ago the pear was one
of the prominent products of Califor-
mia, but it is no longer the case. Dis
ease got into the California orchards
and spread over the state, with the
result that the industry practically
ceased to be.
The area of land adapted to this fruit
is the most rare in the horticultural
industry, with the result that not un-
frequently orchards give net annual
profit of from $500 to $1,000 an acre
and $4,000 to $4,000 is frequently paid
per acre for pear orchards.
OF all the known staple fruits, there
fore, the pear is the most desirable in
regions where it can be successfully
grown, and the demand is 50 far ahead
of the supply that no thought need
be given 10 the danger Of oYerproduc
tion
Fritz Kloke has done more expert
mental work with the pear in Imperial
valley than any other individual, but
there are pear trees in all parts of the
valley. In Ell Centre there are four
year-old trees bearing from twenty-five
to fifty fine pears to the tree, and SO
far as can be learned. it is the tes-
timony of everybody that this fruit is
an unqualified success. Two facts stand
out conspicuously in regard to the
pear: 1t is not so sensitive to over
irrigation as other deciduous fruit trees
and il withstands neglect in irrigati on
better than others.
Then there is the fact that il is a
precocious bearer, beginning the third
year and increasing its output rapidly
with all experiments with this fruit
having been very satisfactory, there is
to be added the one important fact
that the pear is one of the best ship
pers among fruits, and there is no part
of the country which lies beyond its
easy reach.
The Press will not feel called upon
to speak 50 favorably of most other
fruits as this one, which it believes
to be the one fruit which today offers
the most alluring prospects to the
farmers of the valley.
This publication Will not at this time
undertake a discussion of varieties OF
the pear best adapted TO the valley
but it urges the people TO devote vastly
more attention to this fruit than they
have in = past.

Of gross production of $500 to $1,000
an acre year, which already is proven
to be big producer. which is SO good

as can be found.
