In Development of Eletric
Power and irrigation
Plans.
(By United PressJ

LOS ANGELES, March 24.-Forma-
ton of the $1OO,OOO,OOO Foreign Fin
ancing corporation is of vital interest
not only to every banker on the Pa
cific Coast, but to agricultural interest,
manufacturers and commercial men as
well; H. S. Mckee, vice president of
the Merchants National bank here, as
serted today. Mckee is a member of
the corporations organization COM
mittee for Southern California.
'Ths is one of the important steps
toward the solution of Americas in
dustrial problem, Mckee said. "The
entire twelfth federal reserve district
is being covered by special organiza-
tion committees because the Pacific
coast is interested in the movement on
account of the necessity for building
up foreign trade and because investors
are desirous of participating in what
what probably will be an attractive
investment.
Business on the Pacific Coast has
every opportunity for expansion and
l believe that there will grow in Cal
ifornia, Oregon and Washington man
ufacturing districts which will be for
our Pacific trade of the future what
the New England and North Central
states are for our Atlantic trade"
Creation of the finance corporation
covers development of hydro electric
power necessary to turn the wheels of
factories and to furnish the forces for
irrigation needed to produce raw ma
terials, Mckee said
"When such men as Harold Powell
of the California Fruit Growers EX-
change; John S. Drum of San Fran
cisco, president of the American
Bankers association; Governor Hard
ing of the federal reserve board and
Henry M. Robinson, president of the
First National bank of Los Angeles,
and former members of the supreme
economic council at Paris, all become
convinced that formation of such an
as the foreign trade fin
ancing corporation is necessary, the
is assured Of success"

ADJUSTMENT
Of FREIGHT

DEMAND
State Agriculturists to Form
Organization for Removal
of Railroad Barrier Be-
tween Grower and the
Market.
(By United Press)

SAN FRANCISCO, March "a
Representatives of associations Of Cal
ifornia's great agricultural industries
have been called to meet at the offices
of the California State Market COM
mission on Friday, March 25, to form
an organization to protect the state
from the high freight rates to the
east
|. This organization will be put on "a
working basis Immediately, Fred Big
Glow, secretary of the state market
commission who announced the calling
of the meeting declared. Within
short time an appeal will be made to
the Interstate Commerce commission
for an adjustment of the rates.
According to Bigelow, the recent
raises in rates Of the railroads have
set up barrier between California
products and the eastern markets.
At the present rates of freight, it is
said, it is cheaper to ship to the orient
han to the eastern markets. Thou
sands of dollars have been lost by
California farmers and commission
men by their inability to get their
products to eastern markets as cheap
ly as Florida and other points have.
The meeting will also discuss plans
for operating refrigerator ships
through the Panama canal. This, fig
ures show, can be done more cheaply
than can produce be shipped overland.
Represented at the conference Fri
day will be California Fruit Growers
Exchange, by G. Hal Powell of Los
Angeles, Chairman; the California
Peach and Fig Growers association,
by H. S. Niswander; the Associated
Dairymen of California, by James

Texas Development
Splendid News Here

The California Oil company of which
many folks of FL Centre are the prin-
cipal stockholders have received the
best news from the county in Texas
where they have 5000 acres of oil
leases.
Flowing by heads after being drilled
two feet into a sand encountered at
less than 1900 feet, the we'll of the
TeXhoma Oil company in Archer coun-
ty gave unmistakable evidence of be-
ing a real producer.
Seven miles from the nearest pro-
duction well the we'll means the open
ing of new field in Archer county
and the development of what is con-
fidently believed to be new pool.
The California Oil company holds
5000 acres of oil leases within a mile
and half of this new we'll and the
stockholders and directors here in FL
Centre believe that they will have
winning land as soon as activities are
started. They intend to send two di-
reCtors from FL Centre in the very
near future to inspect their holdings
and if the directors give the word to
start promoting their land Immediate
ly. In an issue of The Press of a few
days ago it was stated oil had been
brought in few miles from this COM
pany's holding in another direction so
the stockholders have every reason to
feel elated over their prospects.

ROTARY CLUBS
TO GET FACTS
ABOUT LEGION
Great Commercial Organization
to Ascertain If Vets Reports
Are Truth or Fiction.
(By United Press)

| INDIANAPOLIS, March 24.-The
| board of directors of the international
Association Of Rotary Clubs has or
dered nationwide survey of condi-
tions surrounding the care of disabled
veterans, "to prove whether American
Legion reports are based on hysteria
or upon actual facts" according to a
letter received at Legion headquarters
today from Chesley H. Perry, Chica.
go, secretary-ge general of the Rotary
organization.
Perry said the Rotary Board had en-
dorsed the Legion's consolidation pro-
gram for relief to the disabled and
would support the Legion's efforts to
obtain its enactment into law. His let
ter said in part:
"The $4,000 American business and
professional men who form the 800
Rotary clubs of the United States, have
started out to gather the actual facts
in their respective communities with
regard to the manner in which the U.
S. government is handling the cases of
disabled ex-soldiers. The Rotarians
have been shocked by the disclosure
made by the American Legion regard
ing the circumstances surrounding the
rehabilitation of Uncle Sans disabled
ex-service men. Each Rotary Club is
appointing a special committee to in
vestigate conditions in it's community
and report to the club. Every club will
then report to the headquarters office
of Rotary in Chicago. The result will
be that from 500 communities in every
part of the United States will come
as evidence from business and profess
sional men to prove to the American
people whether or not the American
Legion reports are based on hysteria
or upon actual facts"

CANTEL0UPE
R A I T Up
To TRAFFIC
BUREAU
Committee of Valley Grow
ers Probably Go to Chica-
60 in Effort to Secure Re-
ductiOn of Present Charge.

The problem of securing an equit-
able rate on canteloupes to the mar
kets from the railroad companies is up
to the Transcontinental Freight Traf-
fic Bureau at Chicago, and it is prob
able that committee of Imperial Val
ley growers will go to that city at once
and present the matter to the direc-
tors of the bureau.
Information concerning the cost of
producing canteloupes in the Imperial
Valley, presented personally to Gen.
eral Freight Agent Luce. of the South
ern Pacific railroad, at Los Angeles,
by the distributors Monday will be
forwarded to the headquarters of the
bureau at Chicago.
Mr. Luce would not commit himself
concerning the policy of the Southern
Pacific road at the conference. Mr..
Luce came down from San Francisco
to discuss the freight question with
the valley men.
As a result of the conference, Mr..
Luce recommended a committee be
sent to Chicago to explain the cante-
loupe situation. This followed the di-
vulging of information not .,ltherto
placed on record but which appeared
to be material to the case. Personal
explanations of important points as
sisted materially in clarifying the sit.
uatiOn.
According to Mr.. Luce the question
of decision on this all important
freight issue rests entirely with the
freight traffic bureau.

QUICK PICKUP.

There was an interruption of IL
minutes in the operation of the Hol-
ton Power company's line in the I'M
perial Valley shortly after II o'clock
last Friday morning, due primarily to
an accident at Big Pine, in the Owens
River Valley, where terrific wind
hurled an uprooted tree across the
tower line and caused break. 1t
took just minutes for the San Ber-
nardino steam plant to pick up the
load and supply the valley. The San
Bernardino plant was put into shape
last year to take care of the Southern
territory.
In order to insure the Valley con-
tinuous service, the Gas-electric and
steam plants at Ell Centre were put
on the line until the transmission lines
were repaired and re-energized.
