"The city of Calexico contemplates
heavy bond issue in the very near
future to take care Of her school
needs" said Superintendent Shibley
Zone essential part of oun educa-
tional institutions is to teach our pu-
pills the principles of Americanism,
said Superintendent Shibley. "We
must first ground our children in
American ideas; the rest follows as a
natural sequence
"Calexico contemplates voting a
heavy bond issue in the near future
which will afford ample money to
build as many schools as may be need
ed. The border city certainly deserves
the palm for the way in which she has
developed within the past few years,
while her future possibilities seem end
less. The fact of Imperial Valleys
wonderful growth is attracting peo-
ple's attention all over the state. In
every paper | read see stories of
her wonderful expansion. We should
indeed be proud" he said.

'CAL|PAT AFTER
|. HIGHWAY CHANGE

CALIPATRIA, March 5.-At the
regular meeting of the Business Mems
association there were delegations
from Westmorland, the North End dis
trict and the Number water district
as well as representative local citizens.
About the only matter considered and
one which cheated a very warm debate
sprinkled with almost acrimonious
language was that relating to reso-
luton passed Feb. 5. asking the
county highway commission to change
the proposed paved highway between
Brawley and Calipatria from the
route which had been talked about
and promised in the prediction bond
campaign to a more direct line be-
tween the two points. The February
5th resolution asked that the road 90
west from Calipatria mile and a
half and then turn south through the
center of section 18, running along
the banks of the Alamo river and 60
ing almost directly into the town of
Brawley on an air line from the point
where it is to leave the river. The
route pledged when the bond campaign
was on carried the road several miles
further west, or due north of the town
of Imperial. From that point the road
was to turn south and then a two and
a half mile offset east to Brawley
would have been the result. The peo-
pie from Westmorland and those
points insist that they voted for the
bond issue solely because the western
route was promised them and many
Calipatria people insist upon that
route as the best for the town and
serving the greatest number of people
for the amount to be involved They
| say it takes a more central course
through the valley and gives farmers
a better chance to get to the towns
The attendance at the meeting OF
Sch. 5 was rather light and at that
meeting the principal matter was pre-
sumed to be the arrangement for CO.
operation with INLAND for the INLAND.
Blythe leg of the Northern Imperial
San Diego highway.
Those favoring the resolution who
attended the February meeting were
either mild hammered or absent Mon
day night and the smoke all came
from those who wanted the original
plans as promised carried out. The
resolution was voted with practically
unanimity thus pledging Calipatria to
the western route once more.

CALEX|CO HAS
A APHENOM|NAl
SCHOOL GROWTH

The phenominal increase in school
attendance in Calexico during the past
few days has attracted the attention
of people from all parts of the state.
Recently County School Superinten-
dent A. P. Shibley submitted a report
to State Superintendent of Schools
Joe Wood, Jr.. in which he set forth
the fact that the only feature attach
ing to the fact that few children
from Calexico go to Mexicali was the
fact that the border city had grown
SO rapidly within the past four years
that schools could not be built to ac-
commodate the increase Of children of
school age.
At present Calexico has three fine
schools, the last of which has been
only recently completed, and there are
but 40 children of Spanish parentage

R. R. IS IMPORTANT

SEATTLE, Jan., Q Special d'-. patches to the Seattle newspapers state the preliminary data of the gc1' logical survey says the continuation of work on the government railroad in Alaska was probably the important event of the year 1919 in the north' i0d and especially for Alaska mining.
 The report says good wagon ro2 '' must be built to feed the railroad. EN- cept for railroad transportation, con- ditions in Alaska during the year l9i9 were worse than ever before. TEe coast steamers were unable to meet the demands notwithstanding the re-
 ports of the steamship companies that they were losing money. The report says that no steamers lost money and if more steamers were on the AlaS<a routes greater money would have beer made by the companies and a great"r number of travellers would have be n accommodated, Inadequate demands

OUTPUT OF NORTH IS
 FALLING

WASHINGTON, Jan, 2- The Geo logical Survey estimates show that Alaska's 1919 mineral output was Che smallest of any year since 1916.
 The mineral output or NiaSHl ln 1919 was $lS,S5O,OOO; 1918, was $2'.- 25OOOO. and 1916 was S4S,OOO,0OO. Tie decline is attributed to the revcr.nG of the copper industry to normal con ditions and the high operating costs. It is estimated the gold output Of Alaska in 1919 will be aoout S9,0U-'- 900.
