HUNTING DUCKS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-January
81 is the last day on which wild ducks
and geese, coots, gallinules, and Will
son snipe or jacksnipe may be hunted
anywhere in the United States under
the federal law which prescribes sea-
sons on migratory game birds. This
law, which is administered by the bu-
reau of biological survey CT the United
States department of agriculture, pro-
vides, however, that the carcasses of
birds killed during the open season
may be possessed for an additional
period of 10 days following the end
of the season if state or local laws
do not prohibit it. The possession of
carcasses of wild ducks, geese, and
other migratory game birds in cold

GROUND HOG DAY Is
., FEBRUARY

According to tradition and fable
lore Mr.. Ground Hog is due to awake
from his long winters sleep on Feb
ruary =. If the sun is shining bright
ly at the time of his exit from his
abode and Mf. Ground Hog sees his
shadow, he calls to Mrs. Ground Hog
and che little Ground Hogs and hies
them back to their winter home for
another snooze of, six weeks. But, If
on the other. hand, the sun has his
face behind cloud Mr.. Ground Hog
takes up his spring work for he
knows that spring is already come.
Ground Hog day is the occasion of
many friendly arguments and consid-
cradle amusement is enjoyed over the
uncertainty of the event. R.Linekin
of the Suitorium is certain that Mr..
Ground Hog will see his shadow and
will hasten his family back for the
extra six weeks sleep. For accord
ing to Linekin, what's the use Of be-
ing busy when one can sleep for an

.S0VIETS GETTING RELIEF
FROM AMERICA

LONDON, Jan. 25.-That the Sow
lets are cooperating with the Ameri-
can Relief administration in the work
of feeding starving Russians, is be-
lieved to be evidenced in the recent
purchase here by the Soviet delega-
ton of $4,000 worth of food remit
tances. The food is to be consigned
to the Central Physical observatory at
Petrograd for distribution by that in
stitution.
According to the Hoover Food re-
mittance plan, by means of which it
is possible to send food to relatives,
friends, institutions or groups in Rus
sia's famine regions, the purchase by
the Soviet delegation calls for 23,40O
pounds of food, including flour, rice,
condensed milk, cooking fats, sugar
and tea.
The same plan is in effect in Amer
ica, each $40 remittance calling for
ll17 pounds Of food to be delivered to
the designated person or place under
the direction of the American Relief
association. Applications for these
remittances can be made at the New
York office of the American Relief
administration, AZ Broadway.

GROWERS In GOOD SHAPE
AT RIVERSIDE

". w. Van Pelt, secretary of the
big fair at Riverside and one of the
best known in the state, as well as
one of the very best in the state,
said today while in El Centre, that
the orange growers at Riverside are
not at all alarmed over the recent
cold snap there. They have Jared
very well, said he, for their loss in
damaged fruit will not exceed 20 per-
cent. This. they believe, will be more
than made up in increased prices re-
sulting from reduced output in other
sections Of the orange belt where the
damage is very much greater. The
conditions are reversed this time,
said Mr.. Van Pelt, from what they
were in the last big freeze nine years
ago. Then Riverside was hard hit,
but this time the gods have been
good to it. Growers there are get
ting ready to make an extraordinary
display at the international orange
show at San Bernardino. They are
going to take advantage of their op-
portunity.

GYPSUM MINES ARE
COMING TO
FRONT

Sam Dunaway who has been one OF
the biggest promoters of the Gypsum
mines since the project was started,
stated today that construction work
in process is getting on well. To date
45 car loads of material have been
unloaded to be used in construction
of the railroad and so more will be
delivered soon. An eight-car work
train is now in operation. Twenty
miles of the road has been graded and
track laying which will be pushed to
rapid conclusion so that tina plant
may be erected and the taking out of
gypsum begun. Mr.. Dunaway says
it is hoped to have all construction
work completed before hot weather
sets in.
1t was stated that this development
of the gypsum mines is the biggest
enterprise in the state at this time;
it is the only one of its kind in Cali
fornla, those nearest TO IL pelllS Ill
Utah and Nevada. The California
plant, however is very much larger
than those of the other two states
in fact it is in a class by itself.
Mr.. Dunaway reports that numbers
of capitalists have visited the mines
many of them investing in it. The
development period has required the
outlay Of vast sums of money but
when operations are started, the III
come will offset the outlay and Mr.
Dunaway believes that fortunes are
in the enterprise. He invites the
people Of Ell Centro and vicinity to
come and see for themselves the
things that have been accomplished
in an incredibly short period of time

The Press is carrying on a war de-

Italian government.
This discussion proceeds along with
that of whether the new Pope shall
be from the group that favors closer
relations with the government, or
from the conservatives, who favor a
restoration of the power of the Pa
pacy.
Notifications of the Italian govern

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 25.-ln
order to enable the company to
contribute toward the relief of sea-
sonal unemployment, the railroad COM
mission today granted permission to
the San Francisco Oakland Terminal
railways to borrow from its deprecia-
ton fund sum of money sufficient to
employ 200 men for a period of about
three months. The company announc-
ed that it desired to do ordinary and
extraordinary maintenance work at
this time.
The sum made available for this
period will amount to approximately
100000. The company has agreed to
return to the depreciation fund the
amount thus borrowed within one
year after the expenditure of the
money.
This arrangement, it was explained,
will improve the Oakland traction and
Key route system and at the same
time give work to a large number of
men during a period when it is diff
cult to find employment for unskilled

The Pacific Electric company today
notified the railroad commission that
the fare for students attending the
University of California in Los An
geles would be made 5 cents per ride
and that a tariff will be filed and
tickets printed as quickly as it is poss-
ible to prepare them.
This action followed request made
by the commission to the company,
after the board Of regents had asked
that special student transportation
rates be extended to university stu
dents. 1t was pointed out to the
regents by the commission that the
commission has no power, under the
Public Utilities Act, to order special
school rates but it would recommend
that the railway company accord re-
duced transportation on its own ini-
tiative.
Under the rates as now fixed the
Pacific Electric company has in effect
school tickets as follows:
| School children travelling between
points within the 6-cent street car
zone are accorded a rate of cents
per ride in the form of limited ticket
carrying 40 rides for s1.20, which
tickets can be used only on regular
school days and between the hours OF
6 a. m. and p. m. For children trav-
cling between points other than the
street car zones there is now in effect
46-ride ticket based on the same
rate per mile as is charged for the
lowest communication ticket.
