osition to purchase a street oiling ma
chine by agents representing street
oilers. The cost of a machine is ap-
proximately $4,000, and the length of

smaller than Richmond have purchas-
ed such machines. and they are prov

IMPERIAL VALLEY MAN TO
MARKET HIS OWN CROPS

San Diego Sun: To further cement
the bonds of friendship between San
Diego and the Imperial valley, and
declaring that he is only the advance
guard of many others, C. E. Gillett
has arrived in the city from Holtville
and will open hay and produce house
at 1912 India street, to dispose Of his
Imperial valley crops.
"San Diego means as much to the
Imperial valley as does the valley to
San Diego" said Mr.. Gillett today.
You can bet that every one Of us

San Diego is our natural port and dis
tributing point, and are anxiously
awaiting the opening OF the San Diego
and Arizona railroad. ! have come
here early-I want to be right on the
ground. San Diego is going to be a
big city, and the valley will furnish
the best back country on the coast.
We don't consider Los Angeles in it
San Diego is the place where our stuff
will come for sale and shipment.
For the present I'll be compelled
to bring my stuff around to San Diego
via Los Angeles, but when the rail-
road opens it'll be different.

whether that company will extend its
system to the nOrthward, running be-
yond Imperial Junction, or will step
aside and let a large part Of the new
acreage fall to an independent company
to be organized. This is one of the
questions Of expediency which neces-
sarily arise from time to time, and it
will of course be decided according to
the interests of the land now under
the cOmpany's canals.
There are arguments both for and
against large areas under one man
agement. and probably it will be found
that there will be differences Of opin-
ion.
II is well to have this problem set
tied now, that under some form OF
organization the work OF development

others to get home.

CQUARINe A TRIANGLE

~ Can you square a. triangle? It's
5asy when you know how, but do you
know how?
For instance, here is a triangle:
The base is the shipment of oranges
end lemons from Italy to other European
countries and the desire for lower
!2rifr to enable them to be shipped
more freely to America.
The altitude Of the triangle is the
siaim of American growers that lower
tariff would destroy the American cit
cIs fruit industry, as Americans can
not compete with Italian cheap labor.
The hypOthenuse of the triangle is
sn agitation begun by California citrus
truit growers for special vessels to
carry their fruits to Europe to sell
here in free trade countries in compe-
ition with Italian fruits.
Now, sonny, just for tie fun OF it.
