Chamber Names
Important Committees

secure legislation favorable to the
upbuilding of Imperial Valley. Prob
ably there is no other county in the
state where it would be possible for
legislative committee to do more
effective work than in Imperial coun-
ty. Committee appointed: B. D. Noel,
Ell Centro; Phil Brooks, Holtville; Sam
c. Mack, Imperial; r. E. Wills, Braw-
ley.
Good Roads.
A good roads system, covering
every part of Imperial Valley, insur-
ling quick outlet and good market
for the ever-increasing products, is
ar imperative need. This is one par
ticular feature where this agricultural
population will no doubt be intensely
interested. 1t will behoove every
farmer to take an active interest. Diff
ficulties peculiar to the valley must
be overcome. Highways and good
roads are valuable asset to every
community. That the committee will
receive helping hand from every
resident of the valley cannot be dis
puted. Committeeman appointed: n.
A. Mackey, chairman, Imperial; Dave
Williams, Holtville; w. S. Fawcett,
Heber; R. S. Carberry, Imperial; Rob-
ert Goree, Calexico; Frank Reading,
Ell Centre; FRANKIE Moore, Silsbee; II.
H. Clark, Calipatria; w. H. Best,
Brawley; F. L. Richards, Ell Centro.
Other appointments to follow.
Freight Rates.
Isolated from other parts of the
state and springing from a barren
desert into a thriving agricultural dis
trict, it is only natural to suppose
the Southern Pacific has overlooked
our dire need of competitive freight
and transportation rates. With the
present rates in force, it has been
made extremely difficult for valley
producers to compete with other sec
tions of the state A few rates have
been reduced, but there is still room
for improvement. Committeeman ap-
pointed: c. B. Dotson, Heber; F. L..
Nagel, Imperial; Carl Morford, Holt
vile; John P. Bauder, Imperial; c. f.
Hersee, Ell Centro.
Agricultural and Horticultural.
With the thousands of 1915 visi-
tors coming into the valley looking
for investments, unfamiliar with
farming conditions, it is only natural
that we should have a society where
specific information can be given rel
ative to intensive cultivation and how
to make one acre do the work of
five. Material for exhibits should
come under supervision of the COM
mittee. Two women, who have proved
their ability to grapple with these
questions, are included in the person
mel of the committee, which is as fol-
lows: Mrs. Ira Aten, Ell Centre; Mrs.
Fritz Kloke, Calexico; Francis Hell
ney, Brawley; James Brock, Heber;
F. w. Waite, Ell Centre; Will Rich
ards, Holtville; w. S. Fawcett, He
ber.
Mineral Resources.
The rich mineral resources of I'M
perial county have been little devel-
oped. Many believe that these re-
rsources will eventually rival the pres
ent wealth of the agricultural pro-
ducts. That strong committee
should be chosen to encourage the
proper investigation and exploitation
of the resources is only natural. Com
mitteemen appointed: w. o. Hamil-
ton, Ell Centre; Ed Houck, Imperial.
Other appointments to follow.

Japanese Cruiser Wrecked.

San Diego, Feb. 4.-The Japanese
armored cruiser Asama has been
wrecked on the rocks near Bahia,
San Bartolme, Lower California, and
is pounding to pieces in a raging gale.
The ships plight was picked up in a
wireless by Admiral Howard's flag
ship San Diego. Howard Immediate
ly ordered all vessel within range of
800 miles to speed to the assistance
of the wrecked cruiser.
The San Diego was fourteen hours
from the scene of the disaster when
the rs O S" calls were heard, and
is reported hurrying to render aid.

out giving Imperial an opportunity
for joint use of it. He stated that
in eastern states there are laws which
provide for two or more municipali-
ties jointly building outfall sewers,
but there is no such law in Califor-
MIA. He estimated that, in proper

That the Imperial Valley Chamber
of Commerce will, in the very near
future, become one of the leading and
recognized powers in the future devel-
opment of the valley is clearly evil
denced by the plans that are formed
by the organization.
Secretary Place, and the recently
elected directorate, representing every
town in the valley, are planning a
campaign to promote every industry
in more thorough, systematic and
persistent manner than has ever been
attempted heretofore The working
operations of the chamber have
been greatly facilitated through the
appointment of about sixty CT the
representative valley citizens to serve
on various committees. Every phase
of the valleys resources will be ca
pably represented by large commit
tee, composed of representatives
from every town in the valley. The
energies OF the organization will be
expended along practical lines. In
fact, the work of the Chamber should
appeal to every business man and
farmer in Imperial Valley, and make
il to their interest to be directly iden-
titled with the organization.
81 fail to see single reason why
every hog raiser, dairyman, poultry
man, lawyer, banker, or whatever his
vocation might be, should not be a
member of this organization" said
Secretary Place, "and we are going
tc try to make the work of this
chamber extend out so far that it will
make a man feel ashamed of him
self if he doesn't belong. The mills
of progress grind slow, but sure, he
continued, "but you can tell the
world that the Imperial Valley Cham
ber of Commerce Is"
Through the efforts of Secretary
Place, the Southern Pacific will place
in effect, as soon as it can be done
lawfully, a side trip rate of one and
cne-third fare from INLAND to Calex-
leo and return on tickets sold through
INLAND from points beyond Ell Paso;
also on one way first and second class
tickets from points east of Ell Paso
to Redlands Junction and points west
thereof, and ten-day stopover privi
lege will be granted on one way tick
cts. This puts the matter squarely up
to Imperial Valley if the people here
want to get their share of eastern
tourists during 1915. Several plans
have been suggested. The chamber
wants as many suggestions as pos
sible before taking any definite ac-
ton.
To extend and develop the activi-
ties of the chamber several commit
tees have been appointed. While the
list is incomplete, it suggests the pos
sibilities of the new plan. Other
committees will be added as it is
deemed advisable. 1t is desired that
every committeeman whose name ap-
pears below will notify Secretary
Place at once of his acceptance of
the appointment. 1t is very appar-
ent that the committees are composed
of men whose ability and whose in

tion to population, Imperial should
bear two-fifths of the expense of that
portion of the outfall lying beyond

1t was the belief of the trustees that
it would be the best plan for Ell Cen
tro to build and own the system, CIV
ing to Imperial the right to it's use
on proper basis, and it is expected
that joint session of the trustees
of the two towns will be held in the
near future to work out a basis for
agreement.

OFFICIAL STATEMENTS
FROM BELLIGERENTS
From France.

Paris, Feb. An a new attempt to
hack their way to the coast, the Ger
mans are attacking the allies along
twenty-mile front in the region of
Lens and Bethune, but the official
statement of the war office this after
noon declares the assaults of the Kais-
er's forces have been repelled by
French artillery. The statement also
claims success for the French in the
Champagne district, but admits some
of the French trenches north Of Mas
siges have been wrecked by German
mines, compelling construction of
new field works. In the Vosges there
have been encounters between pa
trolls. In Alsace French troops have
made some progress.
From Germany.
Berlin, Feb. (Via wireless)-Th
capture of the main French positions
north and northeast of Massiges in
the Champagne region is announced in
the official report from the general
staff this afternoon. The statement
says three successive French trenches
were captured by the Germans yes
terday along the front of more than
mile, and these have been held de-
spite continued counter attacks by
the French.
The report claims that in the fight
ing around Massiges the Germans
captured seven officers, 601 soldiers
and IS guns, together with large
quantity of war material. The gen.
eral staff's report denies the Russian
claim of successes in the Carpathians
and asserts that the Austro-H Hunger
ian and German forces have made a
series of gains in the mountainous
country.
