definite time when the San Diego 4

officials of the line several weeks ago
promised that trains would be operat-

This week 1870 feet of fallen rock
remained between the two gangs work
ing to clear away the side of tunnel

the slide was heaviest at this pon.
Outside the tunnel, however, three
steam shovels are working" steadily
a I'd on the inside force of experienced
tunnel men are doing their best to
shove through an opening.
One of the outstanding features is
the fact that the company is leaving
nothing undone to get trains running

Iloing a most thorough job. In view
of work to be done no definite predic-
tions when trains will be perating

IMPROVEMENT IN
ALFALFA MARKET .
SHOWN IN WEEK
No Matrial Change In The Los
Angeles and San Francisco
LAarket Prices. but General
broadening of Demand.

Lighter offerings by growers this
week, together with a gradual broad
ening Of the general demand, including
that for the ordinary grades of hay
gave the alfalfa market an improved
tone in most sections of the state.
This tendency is most marked in the
demand for the ordinary grades which
had been dragging for some time;
buyers are evidently coming to the
conclusion that present prices for
these grades are attractive for stock
ing up in view of the general crop sit
uation of alfalfa, in respect to quality
as we'll as quantity of the production
as whole.
Prices show no material change IN
the Los Angeles and San Francisco
markets; in some of the important
producing and shipping sections the
stronger local and sectional demand
brought prices there substantially
above the present shipping parity OF
the central markets.
The listings of hay by the Alfalfa
Growers association members were
light this week, still our total sales
throughout the state were of fairly
good volume, mostly of lots which
were brought out by our submission tC
growers Of orders which we had or
hand. ,4 35f
The receipts Of hay in Los Angeles
for the week ending August 2l, were
very much lighter than the week pre-
vious, being approximately 1000 tons
with 100to held over as against l6O(
tons for the week ending August IA.
There were 1910 tons received II
San Francisco the week ending August
21st. We are selling hay for approx
imately as follows:

$500; No. dairy, $1,000; STANDARD

VOTERS REGISTERED :,
VARIES WITH CENSUS

County Clerk Major Cook cannot
understand the discrepancies between
the governments official census of
the various towns of the valley and the
registration of voters for the coming
election primaries. He points out the
following facts:
Calexico has 6,223 population and a
registration of 1407 voters.
Brawley has 1892 population and a
registration Of 1892 voters.
Ell Centre has 5464 population and a
registration Of 2515 voters.
Imperial has 1906 population and a
registration Of $50 voters.
Holtville has 1347 population and a
registration of 651 voters.
Why does Ell Centre, with popula-
tion listed as 800 less than Calexico,
have 100 more. voters registered?
Why Moes Ell Centre, with popula-
tion almost the same as Brawley have
just about twice as many voters?
All of which, according to Mr.. Cook,
goes to show that Ell Centro's count
was not complete by any means.
