Coal Owners Bluff;
 Fairy Tale Exposed

Washington; Aug. IA govern ment coal authority, it is stated in the daily press, stamps as bluff" the bituminous coal owners claim that they will supply the peoples needs in the event of an anthracite strike. It is declared that not more than 25 per cent of normal anthracite consump- ton can be taken care of with soft coal and substitutes.
 Another play for public opinion is the announcement by bituminous coal owners, through the National Coal Association, that they will make pub lie their production costs. They sug- gest this information be turned over to the department of the interior or the department of commerce. They make no mention of the federal trade commission, which has for years at tempted to secure this information, but has been successfully fought in the courts by the coal owners.

COAL FREIGHT COST
 IS JUICY RAIL PLUM

Washington, Aug. IA large DOT ton of the consumers dollar spent
 for coal goes for freight charges, ac- cording to the United States coal commission, which urges the inter
 examine ''the reasonableness of an- thracite freight rates"
 The item of freight alone takes from I6 to 30 cents of the consumers
 dollar" the coal probers say. "The question of whether or not the exist. ing freight rates on anthracite are ex- cessive is one that comes under the 1 jurisdiction of the interstate com merce commission. More than 40 years ago President Gowen of the Philadelphia & Reading referred to
 this traffic as very profitable and in later years anthracite has been termed
 by the carriers their backbone traffic. "As so large a part of the anthra- cite consumers dollar goes for freight
 charges, material reduction in the
 price of coal might come through a
 reduction of freight rates. With a keen appreciation of the public de-
 mand for the scrutiny of every item
 in the cost of anthracite, the coal
 commission urges upon the interstate
 commerce commission, the duly con-
 stituted agency of the federal govern
 ment, a re-examination of the reason
 ableness of anthracite freight rates. The pending separation of carriers
 and mining companies in the three larger systems makes opportune the reconsideration by the commission

Imperial Valley press., 1923-09-20

Mike Liebert, prominent Seeley
rancher, has returned from an ex-
tensive trip through the northern
part of the state, during which he
investigated ranching conditions in
other parts Of California for com
parison with Imperial Valley, and
stated today he was gratified to
find that ranchers here, though hav-
ing many problems to contend with,
are much better off than in other
sections of the state.
Where ranchers have devoted
many years to building up farm
orchards, he was surprised to learn
that many of them were only too
willing to sell out, having become
discouraged at their inability to
market their crops at a profit be-
cause Of the low price which pack
ers pay them.
In the apricot raising districts
particularly, he saw carloads Of
fruit going to waste on the trees
and the ground, because it would
not pay to market it.. Only in Sec
tions where cooperative marketing
is in vogue were the fruit men get

LOSES ALL IN

Another side of the story of the
Berkeley fire which does not tell
of such fortunate escapes as did the
reports received yesterday from Var
ious local students at the State Uni
versity came this morning to w. c..
Costello, manager of the Press. Ac-
cOrding to letter received, Miss
Janice Manning of Riverside, Mr..
Costello's niece, had the misfortune
to lose practically all her posses
sions, when the apartment house in
which she was living caught fire
and was totally destroyed.
Miss Manning apparently return
ed home just in time to see that
the building was doomed, and was
forced to flee, leaving behind her
books, clothing and personal pos
sessions valued at several hundred
dollars. Miss Manning who is a
member Of the sophomore class ex-
poets to remain in Berkeley and

ANOTHER "GAS''
COMPANY PUTS
IN BIG PLANT

Imperial Valley optimists are con-
graduating themselves on the sure
signs of real prosperity which are
appearing in their community this
fall.
The latest newcomer to the valley
is the Hercules Gasoline Company
OF Los Angeles whose wells are To-
Gated at Santa Fe Springs. Perry
Gwin, Imperial Valley district man.
ager, states that the company's re-
filming plant in Los Angeles is the
second largest in that city.
Mr.. Gwin is in the valley in con-
nection, with the $4,000 storage
tanks which are in course Of con-
struction at Imperial. There are
to be three tanks of 10000 gallon
capacity which will serve the whole
sale trade only. 1t is expected that
several such depots will be estab-
lished over the valley territory. Dis
tribution from the Imperial station
will begin about October 10.
If the local calamity howlers can
be made to change their doleful
tune to prosperity chant by any
thing, they surely must admit that
such firms as the Shell, Standard,
Hercules and others would not in
vest huge amounts without thor
ough investigation and firm belief
in the comeback of our valley. :.

Don't Chase the
Fire Engines Or
You'll Be Fined

Strict warning to Ell Centre mot
orists that the new state laws COW
ering traffic violations in connec-
ton with the fire department are
to be rigidly enforced in this city,
was given today by Charles E. Fer
guson, chief of the fire department.
Under the state law, vehicles are
prohibited from parking within Is
feet of fire plug, or within 800
feet from the scene of a fire. The
fire department has the right of
way on the road and drivers who
interfere with the apparatus or the
firemen when responding to an
alarm are subject to fine or impris-
onment upon conviction.
Chief Ferguson said that the GUS
tom of following the fire apparatus
to fires, which has prevailed in Ell
Centre in the past, will be broken
up, and he has given instructions to
members of the department to ar
rest drivers who interfere with
them in any way. Members of the
department will be supplied with
cards notifying offenders to appear
in court and these will carry the
same authority as notices served by
traffic policemen. One violator of
the law has already been fined in
Ell Centre.
The police department will CO.
operate fully with the fire depart
ment, according to Chief Barker,
and offenders will be dealt with to
the full extent of the law. The
city ordinance requires all traffic
ITO turn to the curb and remain
there three minutes after fire
alarm, or until the apparatus passes.

ting any returns on their crops and
he expressed his opinion that CO.
operative marketing is the saliva
tion Of the rancher and grower. Not
only is this realized by the ranch
er, but bankers and merchants, he
said, are realizing that it means
prosperity for their communities
and they are encouraging the pro-,
duce growers to market their pro-
duets in this manner.
In many eases. where lands were
valued at 81 800 and better per acre
several years ago, ranchers are now
willing to sell for much less. Many
rancher made inquiry about Imperial
Valley and Mr.. Liebert found that
this section of the state is begin
ming to appeal to those who have
for years lived in the northern Sec
tions. He expressed the hope that
it may be possible to get some of
these experienced fruit men to settle
here and help build up the fruit in
dustry in this section, and believes
that within the next year many Of
them will find their way to Impe-
rial Valley.
