Rock Island Opens once

, BraVIey News; Announcements Of
the coming OF the Rock Island railroad
+, TO The Imperial valley render particu-
larly significant the information at this
! time that f. A. Coons, western traffic
agent of the Rock Island, with head
quarters at Los Angeles, will open an
office in Brawley June 4.
The Rock Island has always carried
The lions share Of the valley business
east beyond the Southern Pacific lines,
and the requirements of traffic now ne
ccsSitates the opening Of an office in
the cantaloupc center Mr.. Coons him
self will be in charge for the present.
With the Rock Island giving so much
attention to Brawley business prior to
the building of its new line, it is be-
licved by the business men that this
city will be the valley junction point
with the Southern Pacific when the
new road crosses from the San Felipe
pass to a connection eastward.
As this is the central shipping point
for the north end Of the valley, holding
the record for the years business over
all valley cities, the Rock Island is ma
turally catering to the Brawley trade,
IN readiness to at least share equally
with the Southern Pacific in future
business. 1t is the first railroad be-
sides the Southern Pacific to open
headquarters i'll any valley city.
