IN HISTORY
County Goes ''Over Top" as
Never Before in Food
Production to Feed Il
Starving World.

/ Imperial county 'is going over the
TOP" as never before in food production
having just completed the harvesting
of the greatest crops in it's historyy AL
ready the golden tribute which the
world is paying to the valley rancher
has begun to flow in.
Figures made public today by I. r.
Sparks, commercial agent for the
Southern Pacific and the official who has
charge of the movement of all incoming
and outgoing freight, shows that the
production increase over last year is APP
proximately 35 per cent.
The entire staff of the railroad
throughout the valley is literally UP to
it's ears in the ardous work of handling
the great shipments OF farm produce
which is moving TO every point of the
compass by every train.
Here are a few of his figures which
substantiate to the fullest the frequent
ASSERTION that the Imperial Valley is the
granary of the west
Forty-five carloads of cattle are be-
ing shipped each week to Los Angeles.
Ten thousand bales of cotton have
been delivered to the Imperial compress
and double that to the CaleXico com
press.
The railroad survey of crop conditions
ixes an estimate of cotton production
here at 10000 bales, an increase from
66 900 bales for last seasons crop.
Eighty million pounds of seed, an aver
age of ,OO0 pounds to each bale of cot
ton, will be shipped. This will mean
l 900 carloads of seed which are moV'
Of .Wppk
Twenty-Five hundred cars will be re-
quired to transport the valleys milo
maize crop, which is growing on broad
and fertile acres throughout this sec
ton. The estimate is for 100000 acres
Two hundred and fifty cars of hay
being shipped weekly, averaging 24,ooo
pounds per car This ratio of hay
movement will be kept up for three
weeks longer
Ewo carloads of oranges and four OF
grSpes have been shipped to the the
coast to meet the holiday demand.>
There is an estimate of 1000 acre crop
of lettuce. 1000 acres of green peas,
I 600 acres of truck vegetables, requir'
ing a total of / 900 to 1900 cars for
their transport.
There is being shipped into the valley
60 900 head of feeder cattle ana loo'-
600 head of sheep to augment the con
stantly growing stock industry.
"The big loading is about equally dl
vided among the stations of the valley
declared Mr.. Sparks in discussing the
freight movement (which has reached It's
neal this week. "Calipatria, at the
present. is shipping the greatest amount.
"The present is the greatest crop ou'
put in the history of TINS llch ana lel'i
region and represents an increase vi ''
per cent over last year..

PROBE BLAZE
WHICH SWEPT
CAMP BEACON
BLOC s SA 7.
Commander Orders an In
vestigatiOn to Determine
Responsibility for Fire
Which Caused S. 1000 Loss

The military commanders of Camr
Beacon have ordered rigorous investi
cation to place the responsibility foi
the fire which Saturday afternoon de
stroyed some buildings in the quarter
masters division and caused damages
aggregating $1,000
While no definite clew as to the origin
of the blaze has been uncovered it is
believed that a cigarette butt. carelesSly
tossed into some inflammable material,
was the cause.
The fire caught in a garage in which
We're stored several vehicles and trucks.
A truck and a Ford car were damagd.
The blaze communicated to the granary
which fortunately was practically de.
nuded of grain. The latter building has
a capacity of about a hundred tons,
and is unusually well stocked.
Private PPerry, a member of the quar-
corps, was painfully burned
while engaged in fighting the fire. He
was taken to the camp hospital. where
he is suffering from severe burns about
tn face, arms and hands.

Govern m ent Removes
Part of Restrictions to
Restore Trade Relations
Between Nations.

Partial lifting of the wartime restric
tions, designed to prevent the flight OF
military deserters and draft evaders, is
provided in new order received by i'm
migration officials at CaleXico today.
Reports that were scattered persist
|ently throughout the Valley during the
past few days that unrestained coming
and going across the line would again
be in vogue failed to materialize. In
stead, about the only restrictions re-
moved are those applying to Mexicans
of Baja California.
practically the same rules as before
apply said an immigrtion official to-
day in explaining the changes. "A pss'
port is required and these are issued
only on regular application to those
showing that they have legitimate busi
ness in Mexico.
"The principal change has been to
permit residents of Mexico, who previ'
ously were allowed across the line but
once a week to buy provisions, to com
across daily. Passports will not be
stamped as in the past. but must be
exhibited. Reports that the line is wide
open are erroneous"
Following the spread of the reports,
principally based on dispatch from Ell
Paso in Los Angeles paper, gamblers
and old-time habitues of MeXicali this
morning began to pour into CaleXico
only to be turned back at the line.
The benefits to be derived from the
modification of the restrictions are to
restore businss relations with Baja Cali
fornia whereby stores on this side of
the line may be patronized daily by
Mexican residents.
