1t is the hope Of all fair minded citizens that none
of the politicians will forget themselves in this re-

.NOUNT4IN SPRINGS GRADE

Letting the contract Tor paving Mountain Springs
grade announced this week by the California Highway
Commission, just about finishes Imperial Valleys
ries regarding the highways by which traffic enters
and leaves tins community.
According 10 report the work will be completed
early il the spring, and there is little doubt
that the contract will be finished scheduled time.
Residents OF this section who have bumped
the grade time after time will rejoice at the good
for 1 iS good indeed to all OF US
The pessnlist however, is now worried .rh the
large amount OF accidents that will happen the
grade when it is paved
According his distorted view, autoiss are going
to adopt the policy OF speeding down the grade, with
the result that goody percentage Of them will be
spilled out enroute. The pessmist is gloomy enough
predict that there would be good business any
undertaken who opens branch at the foot OF the
grade.
1t is safe conclusion that accidents on the grade
will De at minimum, and will be numerous
than they are at present the dirt road. AS d
matter OF fact the number Of serious accidents on the
Mountain Springs grade is negligible.

when knowledge of its existence becomes generally

Developments-Not Inclined
to Press Selling Side.
By the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, December 9.-For the
most part. traders appeared to be
awaiting developments in the wheat

actions. There was evidence of disin.
clinatiOn to press the selling side, but
absence of buying permitted wheat
values to sag when rallies proved
feeble. Starting unchanged to Lo

then underwent a moderate general
downturn. Corn and oats turned easy,
corn opening unchanged to Ac up.
but later showing declines. Provisions
were firm.
Interest in the wheat market TODAY
centered largely on the action of the
December delivery. That month con.
tinued to show substantial discount
under the May price. Some authori-
ties asserted that notwithstanding
liquidation of December holdings YES.

of wheat on hand, and may have diff.
Guilty in disposing of their flour the
first six months of 1927,
Bear leaders in wheat contended
also today that there is no question
the wolrd has a surplus over and
above requirements, and that North
American wheat would have to 20 to
competitors levels. This was con.
strued to mean a decline to a full
shipping difference below European
markets unless the world supply sit
