My children and a group of their
friends have invented a studio broad
casting game which is a delight to
listen in upon. Each one does his best
in the way of entertaining, for the

FINAL LINK IN
GOOD HIGHWAYS
WILL BE PAVED

According to present plans. 1927
will undoubtedly see the completion
of the paving job on Mountain
Springs grade, between San Diego
and FL Centre, thereby finishing the
last gap in first.ci:.>s highway
from the Arizona border TO the Pa
cific coast.
The Mountain Springs grade. like
the sandhillS route in the east part
OF the county. was formerly a night
mare to those forced to travel il.
And nearly every Fl Centre inhabi.
tant had to travel it at some time.
tor 1t is the only gateway to san
Diego and to numerous mountain
resorts between this city and the
coast.
Up to four years ago the road up
the grade was only \ trail. with
room for one ear to travel. We
hlcieS meeting each other were fore
ed to squeeze tightly, the inside one
showing up against the cliffs. and
the outside one hugging the edge
OF precipice, Fortunately on
such occasions the passing was made
w hout accident, the number Of
these being unusually few in con
sIderation Of the circumstances.
In 1923 the roadway was widen
ed, SO that vehicles could pass with
ease at every point. Last year the
state spent considerable money
Strengthening out the mere danger
Gus curves on the road and increas-
ing the width in places where it
was believed necessary to insure
safety.
During the latter part of 1926
contracts for paving the road was
let. This will consist Of approx.
matcly eight miles Of pavement,
from the top of the grade to Shep-
herd s bridge at the foot. The
work is to be started as soon as
funds due the state from the fede-
raj government are obtained.
II is planned to handle the work
in such a manner thst traffic over
the grade will at no time be en-
tirelv interrupted.
During the summer months, hur-
dreds Of Fl Centre residents have
homes in the mountains
above the grade and with the com
pletion of the pavement it will be
possible for them 10 make frequent

Sees Prosperity

Leroy Holt, vice president Of the
local branch of the Bank Of Italy,
voices very optimistic view of the
coming year.
Mr.. Holt says that it is his opin-
ion that business activity in 1927
will greatly exceed business done
in 1926, not only in Imperial Valley,
but in the entire United States, and
that the present year has very
favorable start, Judging from the
lettuce prices now being received.
He saws that feed conditions are
very good. which means a great
deal to the dairymen, who in turn
have an active effect on Imperial
