VALLEYS MELON
CROP TO Be MOVED

BRAWLEY, April 27.-General re.
lease of the financial tension in canta.
loupe circles has resulted from the re.
sumption of traffic on the Southern
Pacific and the bulletins that condi-
tions over the entire west and middle
west are greatly improved. Canta-
loupe growers, had the blockade OF
freight resulting from the switchmen's
strike continued 90 days, would have
suffered the loss of their entire crop
valued at not elss than $10,000,000
Settlement of the strike has not re-
moved all causes of uneasiness, as
the cars to move the cantaloupes must
yet be concentrated in Southern Cali
fornia, easily available for quick re-
moval to Imperial Valley as they are
needed. When the season is we'll un-
der way not less than 800 cars will be
needed daily for the peak, while for
two months the shipments will run in
to trainloads daily.
Imperial Valley has ready for ship
ment during the next so days not less
than $4,000 carloads of freight, much
of it perishable, and the maximum
may reach several thousands more. Ac-
cording to estimates, freight await
ing shipment is as follows:
Cantaloupes. $500 cars; barley, 700
cars; onions, 1900 cars; livestock, 700
cars; watermelons, 1000 cars; toma-
toes, 200 cars; hay and forage, 200
cars; grapes, $50 cars.
The gross shipments of cantaloupes
may exceed the estimates by 5000 cars
if the eastern market is favorable and
is possible.

San Diego Odd Fellows today de-

After an evening of jazz and JOY and

The trip to celebrate the 101st ami

sequently it was nearly 10 o'clock be-

TOM MIX IN NEW PLAY
SURPASSES TOM MIX

Tom Mix, it is said, has accom-
plished in "The Cyclone" which
William Fox will present today at
the Palace theatre, what no other
film hero has succeeded in doing-he
has surpassed Tom Mix.
This is stupendous feat, as the
thousands of fans whom he has
thrilled by his peerless daring in such
superb Fox productions as "The
Speed Maniac" and "The Feud" will
attest. Reports from places where
this picture has been shown declare
that Mix grips the imagination Of
audiences and whips their blood to
mountain torrect velocity by his
display of courage and agility.
The story of "The Cyclone" which
is tale of the Canadian Northwest
Mounted Police, deals with a series of
stirring episodes leading up to a
stunt climax that shows the cow
puncher star at his best. This ultra
stunt was undertaken by the actor
and his director after considerable
deliberation. Mix rejected every mod
ification suggested with view to his
personal safety, and insisted upon
enacting the crowning episode in all
it's magnificent daring.
Colleen Moore plays opposite Mix
as the coveted girl, and is a beautiful
very feminine prize for his very
masculine prowess.
The rest of the cast is exceptional
ly strong, as it necessarily must be to
support leads of such high calibre.

LEGAL QUESTION
OVER PASS|NG c
OF WATER BONDS
Attorney General Webb Has
Been Asked to Decide on
- KnOtty Question Which Has
Arisen OUer Last Election.

Attorney General Webb has been
asked for an opinion on knotty
problem which has arisen over
counting the ballots at the recent
city election on the passing of the
water bonds. City Attorney Larew
and District Attorney Simon have
expressed themselves as believing
the bonds did not carry, even in face
of the two thirds >majorities they re-
ceived.
The fire bonds carried 635 to 131
making a total of 736 votes. 1t seems
that the supreme court has ruled that
where there are more than one bond
issue on the same ballot the highest
number of votes shall be the number
on which all issues are judged. If
this is the case both issues have been
lost as the S194,000 issue received 507
for and 224 against, but on a basis
of 1856 votes cast would have had to
receive 511 to carry. The smaller
issue received asa for and 221 against
the same conditions holding true.
The councilmen are awaiting the
opinion of Attorney General Webb
before any action is taken.

.ORY CONGRESSMAN
ENDORSES HOOVER

Local Hoover headquarters give
out the following:
Congressman Charles H. Randall
several times elected to the house of
representatives from the ninth con-
gression district of California, is a
Hoover supporter and hopes to see
Hoover the next president.
The ninth COMPRESSION district
includes the cities of Long Beach,
Pasadena and all territories east of
Pasadena to the Los Angeles county
line.
Aside from information which has
trickled through from the congress
man from other sources, the Hoover
republican club has received card
from Mr. Randall in which he es-
pouses Mr.. Hoover's cause. Mr..
Randall enrolls as member OF the
Hoover republican club in signing
the card, but directors of the club
take his action to be straight in
dorsement of Mr.. Hoover without any
particular thought of the political
alignment.
Congressman Randall has been
elected to congress by substantial
majority in all his campaigns and
his support has come very heavily
from the democrats and prohibition
lists. He is known and accepted in
congress as the leader in the house
for the prohibition forces.
Mr.. Randall was in close touch with
Mr.. Hoover and with much of Mr..
Hoover's activities during the war.

The number of horses now in use
on American farms has been de-
creased 2 per cent during the past
year, according to late report of the
department of agriculture. The an
nouncement comes as somewhat of a
surprise to California motorists and
tractor fans, who have been imagining
that the extinction of the horse as a
beast of toll was only matter of a
few years.
