RAILROAD TRAFFIC BIG
IMPROVEMENTS ARE NEEDED

The Southern Pacific valley road is
having about all it can do these days
to handle the outgoing freight and
the heighth Of the shipping season is
not yet here.
The company has begun the send
ing of special cantaloupe trains direct
through to the eastern markets, and
these trains are being assembled at
Brawley as the forwarding point, by
means of special switch engines.
But the cantaloupe business is only a
portion of the business which is keep
ing the company busy, for in other
lines the shipments are extremely
heavy. This is especially true of hay
and grain. which constitute the big
bulk of the outgoing commodities,
with fat hogs adding materially to the
total.
Never before in the history of the
valley has there been such an outpour-
ing of commodities, all of which repre-
sent big money for the producers, and
the returns that are coming in are
most satisfactory.
This great freight business is being
supplemented by heavy passenger traf-
fic, the crowds going out in the even
ings these days being far ahead Of
the accommodations. To get berth
it is necessary to make reservations
days in advance, and 1t is believed
that two sleeping coaches at this time
would be well filled.
The condition of traffic, in fact is
such that there ought TO be a through
train from the valley to the coast at
night, as there is at day. 1t was eX-
pected that long before this the COM
pany would make provision to run one
of its overland trains by way of the
valley, and it is much to be regretted
that it has not found it possible to do
so up to the present.
The company is just now overhaul

WILL SHIP MANY GRAPES
IN sAWOUST AND CORK

NEW YORK, June 5.-The expert
ments in shipping California grapes
packed in redwood sawdust were so
successful last year that greater
quantity of them will be packed in this
manner the coming season. EXhaus-
tive tests were made by experts of
the department of agriculture, which
have shown concluSively that grapes
can be packed in this manner and kept
so well that the can compete with the
Spanish grapes in the larger markets.
At least 100 cars so packed viii be
sent east this coming season. 1t was
first arranged to use redwood Sawdust,
but since the return of the well known
receiver from the coast, negotiations
have been started to secure supply
of cork wood from Portugal and Spain
and manufacture cork. This concern
has agreed to utilize the unused pOr-
ton in making all the cork dust re-
quired, so that it is possible that con-
siderable cork and redwood sawduSt
will be used as it is cheaper. The gen.
eral talk in California lately was that
Emperors were to be used only, but
it is said that A. B. Humphrey of May
hews may pack some of his finest To-
kays in cork dust.
The whole object, of course, is to eX-
tend the season. This years results
will enable handlers to ascertain how
the fruit will keep and how the trade
will take to it. In all probabilities
the grapes will be put into cold stor-
age Immediately on arrival and the
market fed with them through Decem-
Der and January. AS far as relieving
the congestion in the big markets
that cannot enter into the calculation,
al least for the coming season, as Cali
fornia last season had over 5000 cars
of grapes and this season a consider
able increase is expected Both
Humphreys, Tokays and Fresno En-
perors were experimental with last
season, and the Emperors, as was ex-
pected. kept longer and better than the
Tokays.
California is looking to extend it's
markets and A. B. Humphrey is figur-
ing on sending some of his Tokays to
Europe. Last season he sent a guam
tity to l.. Connolly & Co., Liverpool,
but they did not do we'll, as they ar
rived at a time when the English mar
kets were full of grapes. They reached
there in good condition, however, and
if any are sent over this coming sea-
son it will be at time when there
are not SO many home grown grapes
iii the English markets.

SECRET PLANS
MAY BE CARRIED OUT

NEW YORK, June 6.-Unless the
wishes of Orville Wright are over,
ruled by the board of directors of the
Wright company, the secret plans of
the late Wilbur Wright, father of avi-
alton, to make aerial navigation as
safe and practicable as travel by an
ocean liner or a railroad train, will be
carried out by Orville Wright and
Alexander Ogilvie, the English avia-
tor, who assisted Orville Wright last
fall in making experiments at Kill
Devil HILL, n. c., with a motorless
glider
This fact became known when it
was announced at the Offices of the
Wright company here that A. F.
Barnes, secretary and treasurer of the
company, had been summoned today
to conference with Orville Wright.
While in New York five weeks be-
fore his death. Wilbur Wright con-
flded to friends that Mr. Ogilvie
probably would join him and OrviIle
i'll perfecting improvements which he
was confident would completely revo-
!utionize aviation.
For years Orville and Wilbur
Wright have worked to develop other
devices necessary for the perfection
of the aeroplane, which. it is known.
they both considered of as great. if
not greater, importance than the
principle of automatic control.

HIGH SCHOOL IS NOW
MAKING ITS APPEARANCE

The new high school buildings are
already getting far enough advanced
| to be seen from a considerable dis
tance. The work is being carried on
on each of the three buildings, and
the walls are up a number of feet
The administration building, the
| central one of the three, has a large
basement under it, and will not be
| completed SO soon as the two wing
buildings, which it is hoped to have
far enough advanced for use at the
opening of the school in September.
The outline of the structure can
now be studied and the site of the
school is well worth a call by any
person interested in the school.
Enclosed by the buildings on three
sides will be beautiful court, sur
rounded by an arcade, and this will
be one of the most attractive features
of the building, furnishing a cool re.
treat at all times for the pupils.
While the builders are at work on
the structures, the trees are to fur.
nish shade and to provide object les.
sons for the young people In econo
mic and artistic horticulture, with the
result that by fall, when the next
school year opens, there will be an
opportunity for the pupils to lay to
the problems that will be presented
to them
One of the attractive features OF
the school, beginning with the open.
ing in September, will be business
| course, arrangements having been
made for an educator IN this line of
fine talent and experience. and the
pupils of the school will have an op.
portunity to come out of the school
finely equipped for business life.
Good provision is also being made
for domestic science studies for the
girls and handcraft work for the boys
and the school when brought to com.
pletion will be a veritable little uni.
versity for the younger people.

AFFAIRS GROW WORSE
IN CUBAN UPHEAvAl

WASHINGTON, June 6.-After 3
conference between President Taf-
and Secretary Knox it was decided tC
rush four battleships from Key Wes!
to Guantanamo. After the conference
Knox said that if further protection
for American property was needed ma
rineS now on the battleships would be
landed.
The situation in Cuba moved rapidly
toward a crisis, and as result five
army transports loaded with supplies
are held in readiness at the Norfolk
navy yard to embark on a moments
notice with troops for the campaign
of Intervention which it is now con
sidered certain the United States must
launch.
On the representation of Americans
from the interior of the island 400 ma.
rines from the station at Guantanamo
were sent post haste to protect the
lives and property of Americans and
other foreigners in the interior.
They carried machine guns and an
abundance of ammunition and were
instructed to preserve order at any
cost. They were prepared for siren.
uous campaign
The action Was taken by Command
er Kline. in charge Of the naval sta
ton at Guantanamo, on representa-
tiOns made by committee Of Ameri
cans who visited the station that they
had demanded protection from the
Cuban government and had not re
ceived ii.
They said that rebel bands were
threatening TO seize their property n
they did not give up certain sums ol
money. They declared they feared fol
their lives if they refused.

LOS ANGELES, June 6.-UndeI

Bert Franklin admitted he had applied
for a position in the district attorneys
Office two weeks previous to his EN-.

, ing its train service with a view to
complete changes in time, and SO great
is the demand for improved service
that it is hoped consideration will be
given to the needs of the valley.
For several years the Southern Pa
cific made frequent improvements to
| the valley service as the traffic grew,
but there has been no improvement Of
late, and the requirements have got
far ahead of the service rendered.
Under the service as it exists, Ii is
always necessary for the passengers 10
| wait at the junction more than an hour
for the west bound night train, and
frequently delays cause frequent waits
On a number of occasions 1t has been
necessary for nearly a hundred persons
to camp all night in the depot at the
junction while waiting for delayed
trains. This is not the sort of service
the valley needs now and ought to
have, even though one gives credit to
the railroad for having in the past
made many improvements in the SER
vice to meet the needs of the valley.
During the next four months there
Will be heavy traffic over the road as
people go to and from their vacations,
but early in the fall there will be
such an inpouring of people as the
valley has not experienced, and unless
the railroad company now makes pro-
visions for bigger passenger business
the valley will be crippled in carrying
on the colonization work.
The time has come when the South
ern Pacific company should give to
the valley through night train with
! two sleeping cars, leaving Los Ange-
les and Calexico at 10 or II o'clock
each night and making the run in not
more than nine hours. While the train
service of the coast is being revised
IS good time to press this need on
! the attention of the company.

that better settling capacity will en-

But this idea does not relate to the

be necessity to- vote new bonds for

it now is a question simply of getting
