Reavis Makes Plea
To Railroad Officials

and that the 1915 exposition specials
would increase the ratio immensely
Mr.. Reavis contended for the land
scaping and beautifying of the sta
tion grounds and the installation of
several miles of new storage tracks.
In company with Assistant General
Manager Platt and Superintendent of
Motive Power Sheedy, the officials of
the INLAND townsite made an inspec-
tion of the city and acreage develop
ment, which revealed the fact that
several thousand acres are now go
ing into crop, thus giving stability
to Niland's growth.
The old boxcar houses on the south
side of the depot grounds will be re-
moved, and it is likely that the pres
ent eating house will be placed else
where, so as not to obstruct the view
of the valley from the passing trains.
One hundred acres adjoining INLAND
on the east have been reserved by
the Southern Pacific for industrial
sites, and preliminary plans showed
room for over six miles of sidetracks.
which shows that Imperial Valley II
not only capable of maintaining one,
but several railroad centers.

S. P. Officials Inspect
Valley and Products

While on their annual inspection
of the lines of the Southern Pacific
Company, the valley was visited yes
terday by leading officials of the COM
pany. Word had come from Los An
geles that the visit was to be made,
but the details of the visit were not
obtainable until afternoon, when they
arrived in Calexico.
The party had gone by their spe-
cial train to Yuma, and from thera
they returned by the Inter California
through Mexico. The service of th'
HoltoB Interurban had been rendered
them by Manager C. E. Paris and al
/ message was received accepting
the offer for trip to Dixieland, Mr.
Paris placing at their disposal motor
car No. 5, in which the entire party
made the trip, all of the officials be-
ing highly interested in this particu
lar car, which is of an advanced type.
Following the round trip to Dixie
land, automobiles were provided to
take the party to the fruit fair, the
splendid display of the early products
Imperial Valley press., 1914-06-04

of the valley fortunately being avail
able at this time, and in that display
of fruits and vegetables all the of
ficials took great interest.
There were about twenty members
in the party, among whom were Ju-
lius Kruttschnitt, chairman of the
executive committee of the Southern
Pacific Railway, the highest official
of the company; William Sproule,
president; E. 0. Mccormick, vice pres
ident; w. r. Scott, vice president and
general manager; H. V. Platt, assist
ant general manager; w. F. Whalen,
division superintendent; L. G. Sloan,
assistant division superintendent; p.
Sheedy, superintendent of motive
power, and j. Fl. McClymonds, coast
agent of the Pacific Fruit Express.
After brief stay here the party
left in their special train for Los An
geles.
Reports that their trip here had
some special significance as to future
operations are not credited, as the
visit is such as is made over the en-.
tire system each year.

CHASED AUTO DRIVER
ALONG THE AVENUE

Hearing of the accident on Impe
rial avenue last night, four deputy
sheriffs rushed to the scene to rem
der any assistance possible. Their
information had come too late, how
ever, and the victims of the acci-
dent had been removed before their
arrival.
When returning to this city, they
were passed by one of the United
Stage Company's stages, heavily load
ed, which was going at great rate.
The deputies trailed the stage into
town. their speedometer showing speed
of thirty miles an hour. Here the
driver was notified to appear today.
The evil of reckless driving was
accentuated by the fact that one bad
accident had just occurred, which
fact seemed to have no effect on the
drive, of the stage.

Yesterday morning Mr.. Bush took
his advanced bookkeeping class to
some of the largest and best business
houses in town. When asked by Mr..
Bush what he had learned at Varney
Brothers, Victor Shepherd said that
he had learned three things, but the
most important was the fact that
there is a pretty girl there. After
seeing how the business houses keep
books, the class went to Dunaway's
and invested in some of the cold dain-
ties of the soda fountain.
This is really the last day of school
and Il number of examinations were
held. The end of the term does not
hold so many terrors as was expected
by some of the freshies. The time to-
morrow will be spent in making out
the grades of the students, and gen.
orally ending the term by cleaning up
all the students. property.
This morning the first year short
hand class was entertained and in.
structed by Mr.. House in the phys
les laboratory. An electrical machine
was one of the chief sources of in
struction. Philip Griffin fell in love
with turning the crank and Paul May
field declared that he would have to
buy It for him.
