from San Diego, with n mountain and
marine view, blessed with good water
and good weather conditions, the town
is full of aggressive husters, splend-
idly kept ranches, and growing fast.
Both citrus and deciduous fruits
bear abundantly. Much land is given
over to truck gardening. Poultry
raising is on the increase and some
Of the best egg farms" in the country
are located here.
Another big asset to Chula Vista
should be the new County club about
to open Over $250,0O0 will be spent
on the place and this should prove
valuable to the little city.
After Chula Vista came National
City. This town has long been q stand
ing feature on the map. 1t is four miles
south of San Diego and is one of the
best of the suburban town. 1t has a
good possibility for port as it shares
with San Diego part of the great har-
Dor. We noticed marked increase in
business activity and W. II. Carvell,
who once had the extreme honor of
pinching the Poor Fish reporter for
speeding, told me that he had been
there long time and he never saw
National City stepping along at a
better clip than right now.

completion of The Company's 225 mile
double circuit telephone line last
week.
The line, which was begun Efiday
Mary 18th, was opened last Thdrsday,
and in spite ofthe jinx date<on which
the crew began stringing the wires
not a single accident happened on the
job, which was finished by the same
men who began it. The cost is approx
imately $4,000, but the advantage
gained, both to the company and the
public, render the expenditure sound
investment.

instantly reported and reduced to a
the necessary repairs The new line
being for company use, this secures
right of way for operators in emer-
gency, and at the same time, relin-
quishes one wire to the exclusive ser-
vice Of the public.
The benefit Of the new line, linking
up all parts Of the hydro-system with
the steam Plant at San Bernardino,
will be shared by the Imperial Valley
as we'll as the territory between
Riverside and Inyo County, since con-
sumers there are given equal insur-
ance through it, of improved service.
