Valley to Fore
as Poultry Center

FL Centre is rapidly becoming one
OF the leading poultry centers of the
state, according to the management
of the Imperial Valley Hatchery.
Poultry ranches are multiplying
everywhere in and about the city.
The climate is so well adapted to
this industry that it is one of great
promise. There are no more in
quirics made of the chamber of com
merce about any other feature than
concerning poultry and egg produc-
tion. BY cooperation the farm bu-
reau and Other organized agencies
this line becoming so well stabil-
lied as to give intelligent producers
reasonable assurance. Suitable
property for ranches can be had 50
cheaply and the demand is so
strong for the output that poultry
raisers have better prospects than
ever before. Local hateheries,
grain production and other adyau-
tageous features are here.
This business is one giving much
promise. Climate conditions are so
favorable for chicken growing that
what the industry will ultimately
be can only be coniectured. An in
vestment of from $4,000 10 $4,000
is sufficient 10 provide home and
engage in the chicken business.

An opium pipe layout, opium.

To Renew Pumice
Stone Shipments

G. r. Miller, Of INLAND, is contem-
plating resuming the shipping of
pumice stone from Estelle, sta
tion on the Southern Pacific, sever
al miles east of INLAND. During the
war, large quantities of pumice
stone were shipped, but owing to
the decline in price, there has not
been much demand for it since that
time. Mr.. Miller intends to com
mence shipping a carload 4 day, as
soon as satisfactory arrangements
can be made with the RAILROAD, and
will increase production as becomes
necessary.
1t is estimated there arc over
100000 tons of pumice avail
able for shipment, the deposit be-
ing on top of the ground and re-
quiring little excavation. Mr.. Mill
er believes he will find market
for the product among manufactur-
ers Of building blocks and tile work.
A Los Angeles firm has already con
tracted for large amount of pum-
ice, and other contracts are ex-
pccted from the east.
Plans for starting production are
not yet completed, but Mr.. Miller
expects to commence shipping with

GROWTH CHAMBER
COMMERCE in US.
IS PHEN 0 NJ EMAIL
Increase in Largest Cities
is 1925 Pct; Much
Benefit

Interesting figures have been re-
ceived by j. r. Coylc, secretary of
the chamber of commerce, from
headquarters Of the chambers of
commerce of the United States, of
which the local body is a member,
showing the increase in the growth
of chambers Of commerce in this
country since 1912.
In the 10 largest cities, the per-
ccntage of increase has been 1925 !;
in cities of from 100000 to 500 900
the increase has been 1883; in cities
of from 100000 to 100000 the in
crease is $40; in cities of from So
000 to 100000 the increase is 40
and. in cities OF from $4,000 to 90
900 the increase is 962.
Opens Up New Fled
The steady increase in the mem,
bership of chambers of commerce
open up a new field for secretaral
workers, the supply of these always
being less than the demand, and the
work offering exceptionally good
remuneration. TO the business man
it means that the old spirit of isola-
ton and suspicion of competitors is
a thing of the past and the solving
of commercial, industrial anl social
problems can best be effected by
the cooperation of all business.
70 the communities in which they
exist, the chamber of commerce
means Il healthy, progressive spirit,
, far different from the old scheme
of "'town boosting without paying
any particular attention to the kind
or class of business invited to make
a city its home, nor the quality of
new settlers sought.
Bound to Be Benefit
The chamber of commerce, pro-
vided it has the support OF the in
habitants Of community, is bound
to have beneficial effect on the
welfare and prosperity of the com
munity III which it exists, the re-
cords of the national organization
showing a wide variety in the scope
of activities fostered by chambers
of commerce throughout the coun-
try. The old day Of chamber of
commerce standing for sort of
club in which the business men Of

discarded and the up-tO-date organi-
cation now devotes its time to the
