Covina Argus: Pioneer problems,
whether educational, social or indus
trial, are always interesting, particu-
larly to an outsider, and so to the
writer the week spent in the rapidly
growing Imperial valley was one of
absorbing interest Going especially
for the Teachers Institute, the first
two days were spent in attendance up
on that practical program given to
the $50 earnest teachers. Professor
Arthur H. Chamberlain, editor of the
Sierra News, the teachers state pa
per, and a prominent educator, not
only of the state, but of the nation,
and Miss Ednah Rich, president of
the Santa Barbara State Normal
School for Manual Art and Domestic
Science, the only institution of its sort
in the world, were the speakers, and
the addresses and talks were of the
highest practical value. Representing
the state w. C. T. u, the writer
spoke upon Scientific Temperance
Instruction." the talk upon methods
being illustrated by many charts and
samples of literature bearing upon the
subject.
Many of the problems brought for
ward for solution by the teachers in
the out-oftown districts were of great
Importance, since the pioneer condi-
tons demanded special methods and
adaptation. Everywhere the schools
are being made social centers for re-
ligious, political and neighborhood
work. The new plan of giving school
credits for work done at home was
fully discussed and reports given from
districts where it was being success
fully tried out. To many of the au-
dience this practical form of co-opera
ton between the home and the school
was one of the best things of the in
stitute.
One of the most impressive things
of all the valley conditions is the rapid
influx of settlers. At Brawley, where
the many street trees make charm
ing town, about the triangular park.
there are fully 200 families living in
tents, waiting for houses to be built.
One Of the common and, at the same
time, strange sights, is tent, beside

ly, and that gave a great stimulus to
acreage values. This year there is
none of that speculative buying of
city property by men of large means,
and there are no large buyers here
to take large holdings of acreage.
"Yet. as l said, the feeling is much
better than it was last year, and there
sre many small buyers here getting
homes in the country and lots in the
city, and values everywhere in the
county are fully 80 per cent higher
than they were year ago.
This is especially a year when the
homeseeker is busy, rather than the
Spectator, and the fact that any per-
son having good property can now
borrow what money he needs is favor

Jack Frost Gone.

San Bernardino, Jan. 10.-Nature
has slipped back into its normal notch,
for this week saw the passing of the
danger of frost in the citrus fruit re-
gions of California.
Just year ago the citrus fruit dis
tricts of southern California were
mantled in frost, and icicles hung from
many trees. In three days, last year.
January 6, 7 and S-about $l5,Ooo,OOO
worth of oranges and lemons were
sent to the Gull heaps by Jack Frost.
This year the danger period passed
with balmy skies and the tempera-
ture an average of 20 degrees warm
er than at this time last year. Like
wise the second anniversary of the
frost Of December 26, 1911, passed
safely.
Figures from all of southern Cali
fornia show that the winter of 1913
1914 is the warmest in seven years
past. Ten and twelve degree warmer
was this winters lowest record COM
pared with last winter.

unrestricted Stock.

AT the recent Pacific International
Live Stock Show at Portland there
developed a very strong demand for
stock bred by the University of Cali
fornia.
The Hereford bull calf, Hopeful
Prince. that was junior champion at
Sacramento and at the Portland show,
found ready sale at $500 to an old Gus
toner of Jack Splawn, who bred his
mother. This is regarded as one of
the best Hereford calves shown this
year. 1t took the grand champion of
the 1912 International, Fairfax 10th,
to beat him for the Grand Champion
ship at Portland.
The University exhibited four Hol-
stein calves, two bulls and two heif
ers. They stood first and third and
first and second in their respective
classes. One of the bulls had been
sold to be delivered after the show.
For the other three calves an offer
of $500 apiece was made and two
were sold at this price. When dairy
bred calves are in demand at $500
each, there is money in growing them,
aside from the milk and butter end
of the business. The bull calf sold
for $500 is son of the cow Pietertje
Bloom, that has record of 7S3 pounds
of butter fat in year, at the Univer-
sity Farm. The mother of the heifer
sold had a seven-day record of seven
teen pounds of butter fat. Neither
the winnings nor the sale of these
calves can be attributed to accident

lustra ton of the value of good breed
ing, and the demand for good blood

those within five miles rs cents per

Now comes the news that the track
laying on the San Diego & Arizona
railroad westwardly from Ell Centre

complete the road.
When work was begun early in the
fall under the present contract the
road was advanced but a few miles

The reason for building the road

making room for four tracks abreast
to accommodate heavy traffic during
the period of construction and for the
handling of helper engines across the
mountains when the road shall have
been brought to completion.
The present construction can there
fore be construed as preparatory to
the great task which lies ahead dur
ing the next year, and the inference
can be drawn that the time is prac-
tically at hand when a force of men
will be set at work on the road to
rush it to completion as rapidly as
few roads have been rushed, consid-
ering the heavy nature of the task.
While the state railroad commits
sion has not yet passed on the petit

it is believed the petition will not much
