PICKLE FACTORY THAT MEANS
MUCH TO IMPERIAL VALLEY

1t seems to this vast educational
journal that it sees vast benefit to ac
crue to the valley from the following
announcement in the Los Angeles Tri
bune:
Contracts are being let for the con.
struction of a three-story class B ware.
house at Santa Fe avenue and East
Seventh street for H. J. Heinze. who
has intimated that the building is the
first step he is taking for the esta blish-
meut here of extensive pickle and olive
factories. The proposed building, for
which plans have been prepared by
Architect A. l.. Haley, is to be used
as a distributing warehouse for the
Heinze products.
''Mr. Heinze, who has been staying
at Hotel Maryland in Pasadena for a
few days, explained that he has had
his agents investigating Southern Cal
ifornia for some time, with view to
determining the proper site for fac
tory. but he refused to say that the
new building now to be erected will
be the center of the proposed plant
From another source of seemingly
good authority it was learned yester-
day that Mr.. Heinze is to make Los
Angeles the home of an expensive fac
tory, and that the building now being
erected will probably be the center Of
the plant.
According to Mr.. HeinZe, the estab-
lishment of distributing warehouse
usually presages the establishment of
a factory. When urged to talk about
erecting a plant here, Mr. Heinze ex-
planned that he has had two men look
ing over the Southern California field
for two years, but that he was not
prepared to say where he would estab-
lsh the plant.
when the demand for my products
so ORDERS said Mr. Heinze, "a factory
will undoubtedly be built here. We
have studied every inch of the South
land, but l am not prepared now TO
Imperial Valley press., 1912-04-25

say where our plant will be located
within the last two weeks Mr.
| HeinZe let the contract for an olive
oil factory at Corning, about 100 miles
north OF Sacramento. 1t is understood
that one of the first new buildings to
be erected in Los Angeles after the
new warehouse is completed is to be
an olive oil plant"
It has been known for some time
that Mr.. Heinze has investigated the
possibilities of this valley in the pro-
duction of vegetables during a good
portion of each year, and there can be
no doubt that when he made the above
announcement he had in view what
can be done here in this line.
This is true whether the projected
factory is located here or elsewhere,
for it would be an easy matter to ship
the produce from the valley to fac
tory located anywhere in Southern Cal
ifornia, and Mr.. Heinze is too shrewd
man not to realize the Importance
of having a factory located where he
can get raw material throughout the
year.
The opening of the Panama canal,
with the cheap freights which will be
afforded, will make it about as eco
nomical to cover the worlds markets
from this point as from any American
locality. This being true, there re-
mains the wonderful climate and rich
ness of the soil to make of this valley
the nations garden spot.
To turn this valley into the produc-
tion of cabbage, cauliflower, onions, GU
cumbers and the many ingredients
that go into the preparation of fancy
edibles implies big return per acre
in dollars and calls for great density
of population.
1t is because of the possibilities in
this line that Mr.. HeinZe is turning
his mind hitherward, as others must
do, and herein is one reason for great
faith in Imperial valley

No Sign of Life Near Mt. katmai.

The relief tug Redonda arrived in
kerluk. Alaska. from q cruise along
the mainland at the foot of Katmai
volcano and reported that she was
unable to make landing in that sec
ton because OF the extremely heavy
deposits of sand and ashes. No sign
or life was seen, and those on the
tug were unable to recognize the To-
cations Of the fishing villages which
were scattered along the coast line
before the eruption last week When
those on the tug were satisfied that
there was no life on shore they put
about and ran at full speed across
Shelikoif Strait to Karluk, where wire
less messages were sent to the rev
enue cutters and other relief ships
In the vicinity. The men on the tug
sayt the entires coast line of the
Alaska peninsula in the vicinity of
the volcano is buried so deeply that
the mountain appears to slope at an

been guided in entering the numerous
bays along the coast have disappeared.

SNAPPY SPEECH.

INTENSIFIED BY HIS COMING.
Michigan Has the Finest Head
quarters of Any State Dele
cation to the National
Republican Convention.

Theodore Roosevelt's arrival in Chi
cagO to take personal charge OF his
fight for the presidential nomination
was fully as spectacular as even he
could wish.
He was met at the railroad station
by great crowd OF admirers. He
made his way to his automobile
through lane which the police bat
tered out with their clubs and fists,
drove a half mile through lines of
frenzied people who greeted him with
frantic cheers until he reached the
Congress hotel Here the crush was
such as to threaten life and limb. The
colonel literally fought his way to
balcony OF the hotel, from which he
talked to the massed thousands below.
Something OF the piercing quality
Of the famous rebel yell character
lied the swapping cheers which inter-
rupted Roosevelts speech from the
hotel balcony shortly after his arrival.
The feeling that matters had come
to some kind of crisis permeated
both factions.
