COTTON EXCHANGE MEETING
COMPLETES REORGANIZATION
Directors Are Elected for incorporation
for Which Papers Will ee Filed at
0nce-BrtIlIant outlook for Industry

The Imperial Valley Cotton Growers
Exchange yesterday held an important
meeting at the Office of Horticultural
Commissioner Whsle, at which further
steps were taken toward the incorpOra-
ton Of the body. Directors were elect
ed, including w. E. Wilsie, W. A. Ed
gar, 7. d. Mccall, o. p Hyde, w.
Brandenburg, Anton Gerdes, NJ Schlat-
ter and C.. W. Barton.
Ownership Of stock is limited to cot
ton growers, who are allotted a
share for each acre of the crop grown
There will be $4,000 shares Of stock
in the organization, with par value of
81 per share.
The exchange has been carefully
distributing the available seed Of Du-
range cotton, to which it is devoting
its main energy, and it is expected that
the crop OF this year will reach 10000
acres.
The growers Of the crop on the Mex
lean side of the international line are
closely affiliated with the growers on
this side. and they will all work in
perfect accord in the production of this
high class product.
Roy Leftwich has been in communi-
cation with people who are inclined to
build in San Diego cotton mills which
will handle the Durango cotton, and it
is thought there is good prospect of
this enterprise materializing
Imperial Valley press., 1913-02-18

this road is to secure an outlet from
Imperial valley, Yuma and Phoenix to
the coast, as the distance is nearly a
hundred miles shorter to San Diego
than over the present route to the Los
Angeles beaches by way OF lndiO and
Banning. Imperial valley is naturally
our back country, and its development
is wonderful. Last year there was
shipped ten million dollars worth OF
produce out Of Imperial county, as
against nine millions out of San Diego
county.
Colonel Fletcher, as president Of
the San Diego-Arizona Highway Asso-
ciation, is giving a great deal OF his
time and money to secure a good road
move made by the association is to
| build a bridge across the Colorado at
Yuma. There is every indication OF
success in raising the money soon for
this good work. There is no bridge on
the Colorado river for 1900 miles, and
it can easily be seen that this is a
very valuable asset for San Diego coun-
ty to have it built at Yuma, as it is
only 1856 miles from San Diego to
Yuma, as against 3Oi miles from Los
Angeles to Yuma.
"The construction Of this Mountain
Springs road has assured us Of the
state highway: in fact, il is pledged
to The state highway commission by t!,e
citizens interested, and was one Of the
conditions under which the state high
way was secured. By April this road
will be completed to the desert, and
il will he an easy matter for any one
to 60 to Ell Centre in five hours by
machine. Without question, the bus
mess community will be greatly bene-
fitted by the opening Of this new road.
and 1t is the duty Of the citizens of
san Diego to raise the balance of the
money necessary to complete the work
Immediately.
County Surveyor Perry Of Imperial
county estimated the cost Of the road
from Mountain Springs to the desert
at $4,000. Mr.. Rhoades, our engi-
neer estimated that the road would
be built for approximately 100000.
Thirty-nine thousand dollars has been
raised and spent by the committee up
to February 1, 1913 The road to the
desert will be completed no later than
April /. 1913, at a total cost OF ap-
proximately $4,000 to complete the
work, and this committee feels justified
in saying that never in the history Of
San Diego was money spent more eco
nomically and for better purpose than
in the construction Of the road men
toned above, from Mountain Springs to
the desert.
