No man, unless he makes it his
life work can hope to know much
about coffee. OF course, you or /
could mix two or three diffelnt spe-
cies of coffee (such as Santos or a
Bogota or a Java or a Mocha to-
gether and call it blended. To Sc
cure satisfactory results, however,
II is not only necessary to test each
specie for its caffeine, which is It's
body ard for its aromatic oil which
is the favor. but TO know also just
what percentage of these oils in
one specie will blend TO satisfaction
with a certain percentage of these
oils in other species. This is de-

men who have put their life into
the coffee business and men who
know coffee.

he didn't know the telephone number,

Beal Sees the Highway
Getting Near at Hand

Brawley News: No time will be lost
in commencing work on the State
Highway, between Brawley and Mec-
ca, according to Supervisor w. F..
Beal, who returned this morning from
conference at Los Angeles with r.
N. Darlington of the State Highway
Commission.
An outfit is now being assembled
at Brawley for the survey crew, and
the permanent survey between the
Trifolium canal and the San Felipe
wash will be located within the next
three weeks, Mr.. Darlington says.
Construction will follow.
1t is believed that the road will be
built of concrete or oiled macadam.
Convict labor will not be employed
on this piece of road, but the High
way Commission will construct the
road under force account,
Mr.. Beal is anxious to secure the
immediate construction of the per-
manent highway from the Trifolum
through the San Felipe wash and over
the low hill where Engineer Bigelow
constructed a rock base several years
ago.
If this work is done, the remainder
of the road will be open for any kind
of traffic. The portion north of the

Difficult Work on
S.D.& A. Railroad

San Diego Union: All grading work
and laying of track on the San Diego
& Arizona Railway from San Diego
through Mexico and up to Campo, a
distance of IS miles, will be complet-
ed some time in February, 1916, Of
ficials announced yesterday. On the
eastern part of the road, all work is
completed and the track laid from
Seeley west to Carriso Gorge, a dis
tance of about 32 miles. From Seeley
to Ell Centre, distance of miles,
the Holton Interurban Railway will
be used.
Track will have been laid for to-
tai distance of 81 miles when the work
from here to Campo is completed.
Trains now are icing operated from
San Diego to Division, SO miles dis
tant. When the tracklaying into Cam
po finished, trans will be run be-
tween here and Campo.
After February, the only part of
the route from San Diego to Seeley

New York, Jan. St seems very
evident that the Allies are entering
the new year with greater confidence
than they have before shown during
the war. When the great struggle
broke out the purpose of the Allies
was to light with all desperation to
check the onslaughts of the Teutons.
All that is changed and everywhere
there is evidence that the Allies have
themselves become the aggressors.
The most startling evidence of this
lies in the Russian drive from Bes-
sarabia with a view to breaking
through into Southern Galicia. At
that point great battle has been in
progress for several days, though
there are as yet no details available
to indicate just what has been done
or how the tide of battle is run
ming. -
Predictions made weeks ago were
take a strong offensive by April l.,
and little was expected from them
until about that time. There is con-
sequently a good deal of surprise in
the activity of the present moment,
though this is looked upon as prelimi-
nary to what is expected to be the
greatest offensive movement of the
., to be begun within 60 or 90
vs..
Central powers and Turkey are
-,~..eved now to have in the field
about four and half million men,
confronted by about six and half
millions of the Allies, and, while the
formerI are rapidly decreasing, the
full strength of the Allies is not yet
in the field and will not be for several
months.
What is to be learned of the Rus
sian offensive indicates that that ma
tion now has an abundance of ammu-
milton, and France and England are
better supplied than at any time here
tofore.
Conflicting reports come from the
Kaiser, but it is believed that, with an
attack of carbuncles, complicated with
a bad cold, his condition is serious.

far as Mecca and contracts have been

Commission for permanent roads as
far as Palm Springs, where the Riv-
erside system now ends.
"This is the first time that | have
really been assured in my own mind
that the state intended to build the
Mecca Brawley road" said Mr.. Beal
this morning.
Mr.. Beal now has crew doing
some preliminary work on the road
beyond the Trifolium, and will trans
fer this crew to camp at Harper's
Well, whence work will be prosecuted
vigorously both east and west on the
Warmers Ranch road, in readiness
for it's early opening. The Mecca

will be identical from Brawley as far
as Kane Springs.
Much conjecture had been given to
the reasons why the State Highway
Commission had failed to take advan-
tage Of the winter season ON the des-
ert, for postponement of construction
longer meant delay for another year.

Initiative Rests
With the Allies

considered one of the most difficult
pieces of railway engineering in the
United States. The length of the line
through the gorge proper is about 10
miles. -Four and One-half miles of
this distance requires tunneling
through solid granite.
Scenery Pisturesque.
Besides being difficult engineer
ing feat, the Carriso Gorge section is
considered the most picturesque part
OF the road, and traversing this sec
ton trains will travel through seen
cry which is remarkable for it's beau
ty.
The construction of 19 tunnels will
be required in the Carrlso Gorge sec
ton. Their aggregate length will be
22,40O feet, or 4.2 miles. This is an
average of 1,19O lineal feet per tunnel,
or about one-fourth mile each. Four
tunnels already have been constructed
in Mexico. The first one on the trip
from San Diego is II miles below the
boundary line at Tiaquana. The last
tunnel begins about 20 feet on the
Mexican side of the international
boundary and ends about $50 feet
on the United States side. The total
length of the line in Mexico is 44.3
miles.
The construction work on the rail-
way has been praised by engineers
from all parts of the United States
who have inspected the line. Special
care was taken in the building of the
roadbed and this is reported to be one
of the best in the country. A particu-
lar effort was made to have every
part of the construction done in the
very best manner possible and with
the best materials obtainable. AS a
result, experts in the art of railroad
building pronounce this railway to be
without superior.
