SAN DIEGO ENTHusED
OVER VALLEY ALLIANCE

There are comparatively few people
in Imperial valley who appreciate to
what an extent San Diego is enthused
over the alliance that is gradually
growing up between that city and this
valley, which enthusiasm has been
particularly in evidence since the
Press began work on its special San
Diego-Imperial valley edition.
1t is not TO be supposed that San
Diego has no productive territory in
its immediate vicinity, but the fact re-
mains that the development of
this valley and its close association
with San Diego is essential to the
bringing of that city into its full range
OF possibilities.
Imperial valley really means more
to San Diego than that city does to
the valley, for the valley has an outlet
for its goods aside from that city. But
San Diego must have the commerce Of
this valley to make OF the city what it
must become, and the people there are
coming into full appreciation of the
fact.
1t is for this reason that expressions
of appreciation are already pouring
into the valley for the work it has
done in presenting the fact of the rela-
tionship between the two communities,
and by this work q great step has been
taken in drawing the sections into
closer harmony.

HIGHWAY SUPERVISOR LOST
ON DESERT, BUT RESCUED

SAN DIEGO, July 1S.-While on
walking trip to Coyote Wells from
Mountain Springs, distance of four
teen miles, yesterday, Frederick
Rhodes, highway commissioner, over
come by heat, thirst, hunger and ia
tigue, got lost on the desert and had
narrow escape from disaster
Rhodes began the journey from
Mountain Springs in company with
John 1sbell, county highway commits
sioner; G. T. Molina, G.. L. Lewis, son
of Judge T. L. Lewis of the superior
court, and Edward D. Gripper, immi-
grafton inspector at Campo. They be-
gan their journey early in the morning,
expecting to reach Coyote Wells be-
fore noon
They wandered some distance off
their way and so terrific was the heat
and fatigue that by midnight they had
not yet arrived at their destination.
Rhodes finally fell exhausted. He had
been i'll and expected to die.
The unexpected arrival of a pair Of
prospectors with a wagon saved his
life. They carried him to Coyote
Wells, where he is being cared for.

GROWING MUCH BROOM CORN
JUST BELOW THE LINE

r. 7. Wells, manager Of the Delta
Farms company. whose land is at
Bataque station across the line in
Mexico, is in town today. The COM
pany is this year planting 500 acres Of
broom corn, which is making a good
showing. Only ten acres a day is be-
ing planted, so it will come on gradu-
ally and can be handled in good
shape during harvest. BY about Aug
ust 10 it is expected to end the plant
ing, and the harvesting is expected to
begin about August %, continuing at
the rate of ten acres a day.
Sheds are being erected for curing
the plant, and in these the corn will
be cared for.
The company has 5000 acres, of
which half will be cleared this year,
and it is expected eventually to put
the entire tract into alfalfa and get
sufficient live stock on il to consume
the product of the farm.
