PERilLED; WAGE CON-
FERENCE is ON.

Washington. d. c., Nov. 1.-THE in
terstate commerce commission today
took additional testimony in the hear
ing on the request of eastern railroads
for uniform advance OF Is per cent
in freight rates.
Clifford Thorne, testifyipg for the
shippers, introduced mass of docu
mentary evidence to substantiate his
contention that railroad securities had
declined slightly less than many 9th
ers in recent months. His conclusions
were reached, he said, by comparing
quotations on twenty representative
Fail bonds with twenty industrials and
twenty leading United States cities.
This testimony was intended by tho
shippers to refute statements OF the
roads that their securities have
reached stage SO low as to seriously
impair their credit and that more rev.
enue is needed from freight rates.

MILLIONAIRES; CAN'T LOSE

February sales of town lots in Cali
ratria are approaching the monthly
record of 1914 Inquiries are piling
up and interest is becoming valley
wide.
However, it requires no unusual
business judgment to see the wisdom
of buying Calipatria property. Town
lots here are rs per cent less in num-
Der than in any other valley city,
while Calipatria is the business cen
ter of an agricultural section three
times as large as that tributary to
any other valley town.
The Los Angeles millionaires who
own the townsite of Calipatria and
$4,000 acres (or half of this won
derfully fertile region, are taking no
chances of ever losing the trade Of
this section. Recognizing the fact
that commerce moves along the lines
Ct least resistance, every facility to
get to market is being furnished the
man who produces a crop. Under
normal conditions, Calipatria and the
North End would have had to wait
years before getting railroad connec-
| tions east and west. These men in
