Fair Visitors Served By Trucks

= OS ANGELES. Calf Oct 81
While the average business man
- viii readily admit that the mo-
tor truck has proved an important fac
tor in the development Of many cities,
few are aware Of the wonder work it
is accomplishing in the outlying and
remote districts.
The transformation Of the thousands
Of acres in the Imperial valley Of Cali
fOrnia is a striking illustration of the
advantages and possibilities Of the
commercial car in the back country
territory
No doubt the majority Of people liv-
ing in the city will say that this de-
velOpment is due to the abundance Of
water furnished through the recent
Harvesting Of the famous Colorado
river. This is true in large meas
ure and too much credit cannot be
given the instigatOrs Of this wonderful
piece Of engineering, yet ask any mer-
chant or farmer in the valley. and
especially in the interior territory. and
they Will readily admit that without
the motor truck the abundant crops
would be almost white elephant on
their hands
The large fleet Of worm driven
trucks operating between san Diego
and the Imperial valley has proved a
boon to both producer and consumer.
Perhaps in no other place is the evOlu-
ton of the motor truck more clearly
exemplified-
Regular Schedule Maintained.
A regular railroad schedule is main
tanned Fourteen trucks leave the diff
ferent terminals every day. The dis
tance from san Diego to the valley is
12S miles. From Is TO 16 hours are
required to make the run Conditions
o. almost every kind are encountered,
IS miles being through the mountains
and the balance Of the distance over
the desert.
Hundreds Of tons Of the choicest mel
Ons raised in the Imperial valley this
season were hauled into san Diego on
the trucks These melons were picked
in the afternoon, loaded direct from
the farms onto the trucks and delivered
fresh in san Diego the next morning
il time to be served on the breakfast
tables at the hotels This same con-
ditiOn applies to an the fruits, Yege-
tables and perishable products raised
in the valley which have continually
kept the trucks loaded 10 their ca
pacity.
Before the installation Sof the trucks
or this run. the exposition city was
not even considered as a market cen
ter for the resources OF the now IA
nous Imperial valley. There is no
direct railroad connection and the for
mer exorbitant freight rates on the
roundabout trip and the extra pack
ing and icing that it necessitated took
practically the cream OF the growers
profits.
Especially in the interior country are
the wonders and benefits of the motor
freight line plainly visible Hundreds
OF acres in the many fertile valleys
that were formerly lying idle are now
being planted in barley and hay. These
crops were all handled this season by
the big trucks and handsome profits
were the returns from the new land.
One OF the trucks leaves san DIEGO
