A WORD OF REGRET

With the closing of the United States land office
another epic in Imperial Valley history has been end
ed And with goes man whose interest in the well
fare of the valley has always been uppermost since his
arrival here, eight years ago. We speak of John w.
Scott register of the office whose removal from the
valley will spell real loss to the community in more
ways than one. Mr.. Scott has countless friends
to him during his sojourn in midst and has been in
tensey active in which he felt of import
to Imperial Valley. A highly important movement,
with which he connected in eminent way, was
the intense campaign carried throughout the valley
last year soil fertility Mr. Scott, chairman of
that committee and his associates performed untold
good by carrying the message of soil fertility to every
nook and of the valley, into chamber of COM
merce meetings and every farm center gathering.
They probably did more to waken up the ranch own
ers to the paramount issues of this need than any
other agency.
AS true gentleman of the old school, Mr.. Scott
commands the respect and regard of all who know
him. We shall miss his CHEEKY "hello" and his warm
interest in all that spells progress for Imperial Valley
but have hankering idea that he will not always
remain away from midst, for he loves the valley
and its people too much tor that.

Low EXCURSION
RAILROAD RATES
in EFFECT SOON

Heavy travel from and to the east
is anticipated after May Is, accord
ing to c. w. Runge, who returned
Yesterday from trip to Texas,
spent principally in Dallas and vi,
cinity.
The low round trip rates for the
summer season, will become effec-
tive from the east on May 10, and
on MAY % from western points to
places in the east. The westward
migration during the summer months
is almost as heavy as it is in the fall
and winter, while the number of
western residents who wish to make
visits to their old homes in the
east during the summer months is
always large.
The Southern Pacific company is
making preparations for the first
east bound trains after the low
rates become effective, and it is
believed it will be necessary to OPP
crate these trains in several see
tions.' The low rates will remain
effective until next October.
Conditions in Texas look very
good, Runge said this morning, and
he was particularly impressed with
activities in Dallas. Building there
is increasing rapidly, and the great
cr portion of it Is of permanent
character, indicating that Dallas is
building for the future. Crops are
large and the outlook for "A very
successful season for turner's is
highly encouraging, he said.
