SUPERINTENDENT
AT DUNAWAY IS
MAKING SURVEYS

Runaway, on the san Diego high
way, about 20 miles from FL Centre,
bids fair TO become Il thriving little
business city, if plans Of the new
owners Of the gypsum deposits near
there matcrializC.
The Imperial Gypsum Company
was recently bought out by the Pa
cific Portland Cement Company at
q cost said to aggregate 100000
and announcement made at that
time that million would be spent
on improvements. 1t is understood
that the construction of a huge
plaster mill with an ultimate capac-
ity of 800 tons daily vii be startled
at once, according to A. T. Mercier,
general manager of the San Diego
and Arizona railway, on whose line
the plant.is located.
George If. Stahl, the new superin-
tcudcnt, has been in Dunaway for
the past few days surveying the
site for the various units of the new
mill and making plans for other cX-
pausion features.
The Pacific Portland Cement Com
pany already owns large thriving
plant in Nevada and are we'll able
To carry out their extensive plans.
As much of the gypsum lies on the
surface, the only trouble entailed
in securing same is to have steam
shovels scoop it up and dump it
into ears on the narrow guage rail
way, which brings the raw product
ia Dunaway, where the present
plant is located.
1t is expected that shipments will
be made as far east as Texas, and
that part of the finished product
will find its way into Oriental mar
krts by boat from San Diego, as
well as to points along the Pacific
coast.

AUTO INDUSTRY.
SETS HIGH
RECORD
More Than a Million Cars
Produced for First Quarter
of Present Year.
BY MARSHALL b. WALKER,
Cosmopolitan News Service Staff
COrrARnOnllAnt

OVAAODPOAAAOAAOs
DETROIT, Mich, March rs. -
With a total output of around
loo. 900 cars, the first three months
Of this year, the automotive indus
try now has swung into the closing
week of the first quarter with a
new high record established. Pro.
duction so far has exceeded the cor
responding period Of 1928 by ap.
proximately one-third. it is esti.
mated, and March figures will ex-
coed those of January and Feb
ruary.
Usually the spring months are
the greatest periods OF production,
but there are those who doubt IL
this will be the case this year.
Early price changes undoubtedly
have had their effect and it is not
to be wondered at that questions
have been asked as to whether this
will reduce the normal proportion
ate increase in sales during the
coming months.
Caution Shown.
Production in some plants ls run
ming only about parallel with sales,
it is true, and some dealers are
showing more caution than pre-
viously so as not to overload. On
the other hand, many manufacture
ers still are increasing production
and other dealers are providing
against the spring demand.
Here are the fact in the industry
today which are nothing il not op-
timistic.
Ford and Chevrolet are continu-
ing their old pace OF high produc'
ton WHY'S. Overland is showing
constant gains and Dodge and
Hudson Essex still are behind on
orders. Odds has increased its force
of workmen and Paige-Detroit de.
liveries have reduced the company's
stock of stored cars nearly ftrty
per cent.
Odds shipments so far this year
are more than four times the cor
responding period of 1928. WHY'S
Overland is making 1900 cars a day
and expects to set a March record.
April orders already on hand call
for 10000.
General Motor dealers took twenty
more cars this first quarter than in
the corresponding period OF 1928,
and, stocking up against the spring
demand, have more cars on hand
than at this time last year.
Durant plans to increase produc-
ton to 10000 cars in April, gain
of about 5000 cars over March.
May schedule calls for 10000.
Make New Records.
Moon and Rickenbacker estab-
lished new production records last
week and the latter company ex-
poets to go still higher and reach
the peak of output next month.
Reports from the Franklin factory
state that March shipments have
been ahead of February and still
the untitled orders have increased.
Optimism is expressed at the Ford
factory.
"In spite of the fact that the
weather has been against the rapid
delivery of cars. we feel opti-
mistic," says an official. Our stocks
Of cars showed a reduction March
/, and the rate Of reduction is stead
fly increasing. We expect to have
delivered 100000 cars by the end
Of March"
