Landslide Reported According to
reports being circulated here today, a
landslide, which deposited huge
quantity of gravel, earth and rock on
the Imperial Valley-to-S San Diego
highway is effectually suspending
traffic between the two points. The
incessant downpow of rain which Wis
tied this district in the past few days
is believed to have dislodged frag-
ments of rock formation, resulting in
landslide Three days, it is said,
will be necessary to clear the road.

New Rate ffective-The new rate
80 cents for the trip between Holtville
and FL Centre and 60 cents for the
round trip, on the Holton Interurban
Railway, became effective today, and
undoubtedly this will add materially
to the popularity of the road. Pas
senger traffic had been so interfered
with by auto stages that it had not
raid to maintain good railroad serv-
ice between the towns. Should the
lower rate bring satisfactory business
a great improvement in the service
by rail can be expected.
