\ Y IMPORTANT VICTORY.

~ 1t is interesting to read IN numerous exchanges OF
the great victory of Assembyman Alvey in securing the
building by the of the highway from Riverside coun
ty through Imperial Valley to Yuma But we may be al
lowed call attention to the fact that few weeks ago
40 men from Southern California called together
in Los Angeles to put through road proposed by Mr.
Avey the Mammoth Wash route and but for strenuous
effort of three FL Cento that measure would have
won out In fact Mr.. Alvey did not endorse the valley
until he found the Mammoth Wash route hope
lessly defeated
That Mr. Alvey has done good work for highways in
general is conceded but he has not yet manifested dis
position to help out the valley in that respect.
Imperial Valley owes much more to Governor John
and to Assemblyman Wills for putting through the
highway measure line of adv anage to the valley than
il does to Nh. Alvey.
The announcement is now made that the state high
way commission will at have survey made for the
road from Mecca to Yuma via BIawey IMPERIAL FL Cen

will be put to work building the road.

Three months with some discom-

the normal season, and that is not a
period which should disconcert peo-

visions for comfortable living.
Imperial Valley spends annually
about a million dollars on vacations,
and if that drain on our resources can
be cut off for one season, we will
enter on the new winter season with
renewed prosperity.
To get the valley in better shape
