DISPLAY SHOWS
VALLEY PRODUCTS

A display of fruits and vegetables
in a grocer's window on Sixth street
today brought forcibly to mind the
great variety of products raised in
Imperial Valley and the early pro-
duction, for perhaps at no other place
in the United States can be found such
wonderful quality and size, combined
with early production.
Neatly arrayed were big blackber-
ries, ripe Strawberries, toothsome red
red raspberries, cherries, apricots, to-
matoes, carrots beets, rhubarb, green
corn, turnips, cantaloupes, apples, po-
tatoes (both Irish and sweet), cucum-
bers, cabbage, green beans, watermel-
ons and onions, all grown in Impe-
rial Valley.
Green corn or roasting ears have
long been on the market, while april
cots, cantaloupes, strawberries and
onions have graced the tables of val
ley residents for some weeks. Other
sections of the country, especially the
east, will not be able to produce some
of the above for several months.

Lack of Decorations.

Editor Press-Dear Sir: Decoration
Day, and the only evidence of the
fact is that the banks are closed
and the price of shave is increased
to two bits.
Those few citizens who did display
our beautiful flag in patriotism and
in righteous respect of heroes who
have passed over the river, deserve
credit for the fact. Those numerous
citizens who did not, seem to have
forgotten that there is such thing
as patriotism or that the memory
of our brave countrymen should be
held in reverence.
No wonder the Mexicans insult our
countrymen and spit upon the flag,
when they know that so many of us
consider the flag as nothing but a
bit of tricolored cheese cloth.

At special meeting of the city
trustees last night the applicants for
street railway franchises were in
formed of the demands of the city,
some of the propositions not meet
ing with the approval of the pro-
moters, the Imperial syndicate declar-
ing that they would construct their
line to Brawley instead of Ell Centre.
The San Diego coterie of capitalists,
having already secured ten miles of
right of way, decided to bid on the
proposition anyway. The resolution
follows:
"Moved that the city attorney be
instructed to prepare an ordinance
granting to ..............
twenty-five-year franchise to con-
struct and operate an interurban rail-

MOTORCYCLE WAS
WRECKED IN CRASH

While 7. B. Beeman was coming
east on State street this afternoon a
colored man riding a motorcycle, COM
ing from the opposite direction,
crashed into the auto, completely
wrecking the motorcycle and doing
about $50 in daamge to Mr.. Beeman's
car.
The motorcycle was travelling at
perhaps forty miles an hour and
struck the automobile just as it was
turning from State street to Sixth
street. The number of the motor
cycle is F42S and it is labeled in big
red letters "23." Immediately after
the accident the colored rider nerv-
ously hoped around, looking fright
ened to death. Finally his eyes
chanced to see the numerals "23" and
without word he started off and has
not heen seen since.
Mr.. Beeman ordered the motorcy-

sTAMPHER RUSHING
POWER EXTENSION

Work is being rushed on the line
of the Southern Sierras Power Com
pany to Coachella and Imperial val
leys and the line will be completed as
soon as possible. The "juice" will be
used in the two valleys to supple
ment that supplied by the Holton com
pany, which cannot supply all neces-
sary with the present plant. The
line has to be completed within 100
days.
The Southern Sierras Power Com
pany has had for some time
power line completed to Ten
nessee street, which marks Redlands'
western city limits, and the
extens ion is taken straight from there
to Grafton. Thence the line goes up
Mi Creek canyon and enters Yuciapa
valley from the north. Banning is
reached by the straightest line pos
sible, making total distance from
RedlandS Of about twenty-five miles.
The Southern Sierras line ends at
Banning, and the continuation to Ell
Centre is taken up by the Coachella
Ice ard Electric Company, which OBJ
tained permission last week to make
the extension. The entire work of
building the line from Redlands
to Ell Centre is in charge
of M. A. Stanpher of Los Angeles.
Work is going on through Redlands,
Yucaipa and eastward from Banning
at the same time. Coachella Valley
will be supplied, and any other points
along the railroad, which the line will
follow all the way to Ell Centre. The
new town of INLAND will get an op-
portunity to benefit from the sys-
tenn.

CAN BUILD HOMES

Ray Edgar and others who have
been striving to have beautiful
camping ground on Laguna mountain
set aside from the Cleveland forest
reserve for the benefit of the people
of the valley, have won their case,
as indicated by the following letter
from person on the inside:
"San Diego, CAL, May %, 1914.-
Ray Edgar, Ell Centre, Cal.-Dear Sir:
The district forester informs me that
the applications for agricultural home

that the area will be open for special

the board Of supervisors of San Diego
county the question of getting $500
or $400 to fix up the old road so that
you can get in at once. The board
meets the first week in June.

will lay off the government land into

reached the deck as the Empress Of
Ireland rolled over on her side and
was carried down with the ship. How
l came up I cannot tell, but l am a
strong swimmer. There was no panic
aboard. 1t all happened so quickly
few realized they were facing a ca
tastrope. The people | saw were more
surprised than excited. They whis-
pered to each other, asking what had
happened. Few wore more than their
night clothes. had been lying awake
in my berth and heard the whistles,
but thought nothing of it. Then there
was curious scraping noise, almost
an impact. l experienced no shock,
but even my unframed ears told me
something terrible had happened. l
jumped from the berth and ran out.
Immediately felt the deck tilt and
the list increased perceptibly as /
ran to the companionway. AS /
reached the deck saw the other ves-
sci backing away. People were pour
ing from below. | hurried back to
my cabin, pulled on my trousers and
light shoes and rushed to the deck
again. By this time the passageways
were crowded with men and women,
but Ihere was no great excitement.
When | reached deck again there was
a heavy list. People were climbing
to the top side to get away from the
water. l reached the upper rail and
just then the ship quietly rolled the
rest of the way over, lying on her
side, then sank. l was carried down,
then shot up again. | went up and
down several times and as / rose the
last time l struck several bodies and
was pulled down by their weight. Fin
ally / reached the surface at smooth
water, and swan toward the other
ship which now was some distance
away. Two-thirds of the way there
] encountered piece of wreckage, to
which two men were already cling
ing. I seized this and it supported
all of us until we were finally picked
up oy a boat from the other ship.
