The Imperial Ice and Develop
ment company, representing an in
vestment in round figures of $3,-
100000 operates five plants in I'M
perial and Coachella Valleys. These
production plants and their storage
facilities constitute a basic, essen
tial industry, employing last year an
average of 1876 men, with an annual
payroll of $250,000. r
The plants are located at FL Cen
tro, which is also the main office
and headquarters, Brawley, Calexico
and Coachella. They are the last
word in refrigeration engineering,
electrically operated throughout, and
designed for utmost economy in pro-
duction costs, since both water sup
ply and climate present problems
that have been a challenge to the
country IS best experts from the be-
ginning. That these problems have
been triumphantly solved is shown
by the standing this particular or.
ganization has won in the national
association of the industry.
Ice is the keystone to the arch of
Imperial Valley production Of per-
ishables, since it is one. of the prin-
cipal elements of transportation costs
between grower and market. If fa-
eilities had not been adequately pro-
yided for bunker and crate icing at
the plant by the Imperial lee and
Development company, large quanti-
ties for ear refrigeration would have
to be shipped into the valley from
outside. The rates Of the Pacific
Fruit Express are fixed by the in
terstato commerce commission on
the basits Of cost of service rend-
ed, and one Of the biggest items Is
ice. The supply on the ground, IT
is estimated, cuts shipping. cost 30
per cent, correspondingly increas'
ing the growers profits.
The Imperial Ice and Develop
ment company has backed its belief
in the future of the valley with cold
cash. In 1921, at time when pess-
imism was rife and there were many
who saw only gloom ahead, ap en-
largemeBt and reconstruction pro-
gram was planned and carried ont by
the company at a cost Of $4,000, 900.

to 220,s50 trees in 1924.
In terms of carloads Imperial

$4,000 cars of cantaloupss, 2500
cars of other melons, and 534

The moral effect of this act of
faith cannot be estimated. 1t was
one of those intangibles that cannot
be weighed or measured, but which
have "a tremendous effect on finan-
cial conditions. 1t was not a prom
ise but a performance.
In addition to refrigeration of
perishables, which calls for hundreds

Imperial lee and Development com
pany takes care of the domestic de-
mand of its territory, supplying

Irrigation
Canals Are 5000
Miles in Extent

A conception of the magnitude of
the system which furnishes water
irrigation in Imperial Valley can
be had by visualizing' water way
across the United States from New
York City to San Diego. This rep
resents main delivery canals only,
exceeding aggregate length of 5000
miles.
The. growth of Imperial Valley in
23 years has been phenomenal and
each succeeding year sees the val
ley established OH better, firmer
footing. The concrete highway sys-
tenn is being extended, additional
electric power lines and sub-stations
are being built vast ice manufac-
turing and storage plants are being
doubled in capacity, transportation
facilities to meet increased demands
every year are being bettered and,
above all, a spirit Of cooperation
exists among all interests.

! WALL STREET, TOO,
VERY OPT IMIS TIC
AS TO OUTLOOK
Despite Coming Election,
All Figures Show
Much Improvement

WALL STREET, New York,
Oct. 29.-Brilhant success for the
German loan, with nm over-subscrip-
! ton of something like seven OF
eight times its offered amount, has
furnished n go9l deal of encourage
ment to those Who are disposed to
take the long range view of in
Ivestment and trade conditions.
Great satisfaction is expressed by
/ foreign financiers, of whom many
are now in the United States, be-
cause of the outcome, and predic-
tions are freely made that as re-
suit vigorous impetus viii be Civ
en- to commerce between the United
States and Germany as well as,
generally speaking, between this
and other countries. There is no
reason to doubt that the success of
the loan is an important and desir-
able factor in the process of restor-
ing normal conditions not only
aboard but here.
Nevertheless steady Development
at home IS retarded by local doubts
and fears. which snavoidably ope-
rate to keep the market unsettled.
Within the past few days the un-
certainty which must attend any fu-
ture event has led to Il growth of
anxiety about the prospective out
come of the election and has pro-
badly been the chief underlying
cause leading to this week 3 reac-
ton in prices. There is, in fact,
no sound basis for the fears that
have been expressed since there
has been no change in the politi-
cal outlook, which still points to the
ELECTION of President Coolidge.
Business Is Expanding
Meantime actual business is 60
ing ahead with its process of
growth and there are many indica
tions of decided speeding up"

States Steel are distinctly on the

1argements of automobile sales have
taken place during the past two or

tions of the earlier SUMMER. The

ccipts Of the postoffiee for the first
three months of the fiscal year, fol.
lowing June 30:

Reduced TO percentage these fig
ures show growth of approximate
w 30 per cent.
The increase for the whole fiscal
year Of l923-24 was per cent. That

S4J,670. 1t will be. seen if the
growth Of the first quarter is main
tanned for the whole of the current
fiscal year, it will show a total at.
the end, Jnne 80, 1925, of $59,371.
Postmaster Collins is authority for
the statement that every department
of the post office shows the same
substantial gain. This applies to
the registry, money order and car
rier divisions of the office. All are
moving along on the same high level.
According to the same high author
ity, the increase is not alone from
theA business interests of the city.
These naturally show large growth,
but there is also a larger number of
postal patrons. The population of
the city is advancing. There are
more permanent residents than ever
Before. They are coming to Ell
Centre and, what is highly encour-
aging, they are coming here to stay.
Everywhere the postal receipts of
a city form one of the best indexes
of its business growth and increase
in population. The local office there
fore Shove Ell Centre to be setting
new pace. 1t is breaking all its
former speed records.

Optimistic Forecasts
Some important financiers who

ciallv for the light it throws upon

of very general prosperity and sue
cess in this country. One such IS
Charles f. Mitchell, president of the
National City Bank, who, upon his
return to the United States, SAID
that "unless we are politically un-
wise conditions here would seem to
be ripe for a period of prosperity.
This view of the ease IS amply
borne out by other observers who
have recently surveyed the situa-
ton. both at home and abroad. Al
together Mr.. Mitchell's opinions
coincide with those of forecasters
who predict growth of financial
in foreign securities as
we'll as in domestic operations, al
though he cautions, the investor

ceptance of the obligations of for
eiga enterprises unless the latter
have been subjected to very care

SPEEDER ARRESTS
TAKE SHARP DROP
Sullivan Cites Figures as
Proof of New Garb
for Policemen.

Arrests for speeding have decreased
since August. when the system was
adopted of putting certain number of
motor cycle officers in civilian clothes
during the daytime, according to fig
ures made public today by Maj. Sui
livan. The report is summarized as
follows:
August--Arrests by officers in
civilian garb, 6S5; by officers in uni
form, $50. Total, 1906.
September-By men in civilian
clothes, 3S9; by men in uniform, 800.
Total, 779.
October (to the gath only)-By men
in civilian clothes, AS; by men in
uniform, 361. Total, 776.
1.-The figures speak for themselves"
Maj. Sullivan replied. when ask ed
what he thought they indicated. The
police chief added that he was con-
vinced the use of some motor cycle
officers in plain clothes would reduce
the amount of speeding. The major
said he wanted to emphasize that the
motor cycle officers are never sent
out after dark in civilian clothes.

hold-up men.

who endangers not only the pedes-

Maj. Sullivans report also showed
a marked reduction in traffic deaths
on the streets during October as
compared with September. In Septem-
ber there were IL killed by accidents,
against only in October. The new
month of November, however, has
started rather inauspiciously with

against Manuel l.. Herrick, former

ages against Miss Chrane. his for
mer Stenographer, for alleged breach
of promise 10 marry him, Herrick
made statements rejecting on the
chastity of the plaintiff.
His alleged slanderous remarks
were ordered stricken from the files
of the court some months ago by
Justice Hoehling, on motion of At
torney Andrew Y. Bradley, represent
ing Miss Chrane. Mr.. Bradley told
the jury that he does not expect to
show actual damage resulting to Miss
Chrane from the alleged slanderous
statements of Herrick because her
friends did not believe them, but he
wanted Herrick assessed an amount
which would punish him for spread
ing on the records of the court such
statements.

neer in Mount Pleasant, Was
Native of Maine.

Mrs. Harriet E. Brown, 81 years old.

Apartments, Twentieth street and
Florida avenue, yesterday. Death
was due to stroke of paralysis Mrs.
Brown had also suffered a stroke IS
years ago.
Mrs. Brown was born in Blue Hill.
Me. February IS. 1888. She was a
Miss Grendle. Mr.. Brown also was
a native of Maine. Her husband was
for many years prominent in this
city. He was the founder of Mount
Pleasant in Northwest Washington.
For quarter of century Mr..
Browns name was identified with
practically every important move
ment in this city. He first came here
as a naval pay agent, during Presi-
dent Lincoln's administration. He
was a close personal friend of Vice
President Hannibal Hamlin. When
the territorial form of government
was established here in 1871, Mr..
Brown was made member of the
Board of Public Works.
Mrs. Brown had long been a men,

sons, Chaplin Brown and George
Crandle Brown, and five daughters,
Mrs. Julia NJ. Mattingly, Mrs. Char
lotte NJ. Conger, Miss Minnie G..
Brown, Miss Blanche B. Brown and

Puzzled Over Food.
Rasmussen explained to Star re-
porter today that his wards cannot
get over the fact that no one on the
streets carries 4 spear or a gun or
something like that to get food with.
They are puzzled very much about
the food question, and have an idea
that the restaurants, groceries and
other places where food is sold have
hunters securing Rock Creek Park
for deer and fishermen watching
along the Potomac for walrus.
Meetck and his cousin were dressed
in true American style Meetek af-
fected snappy gray suit and soft
hat and :puffed nonchalantly on a
cigarette as he waited outside the
La Fayette Hotel this morning for
the explorer to finish his interview.
From his collar to his shoes Meetek
was carefully outfitted. His cousin
was similarly up-to-date in her
clothes, wearing a dress that any
American napper would have been
proud to own. And many fiapper
would have given her bobbed locks
for that deerskin coat that Mrs.
Arnalungauk wore. The woman is
widow.
The two Eskimos are members of
tribe about goo strong on the north
west coast of Greenland. 1t was from
this tribe that Peary selected the Es-
kimos that accompanied him on his
Polar expedition. The pair VIII go
with Rasmussen to Denmark and
then return to their own people on
Danish schooner.
Explorer Rasmussen and his ES-
kimo friends were guests at lunch
con a. the Cosmos Club this after
noon, at which leading scientists of
Government and private institutions
here were present.
