Census Official
Praises Chamber

Enumeration for the 1880 census
was effected very satisfactorily in
Ell Ceutro, according to Forrest l..
Heiatt, supervisor for the San Di-
ego and Imperial county districts,
who made the statement yesterday
while visiting the Ell Centre Cham
Der of Commerce. Heiatt eompli-
mented the chamber on the cooper
alton which has been given in the
enumeration and stated that the
blanks filled out at the chamber
had been carefully checked and
found satisfactory. It is expected
that the returns for this city viii
be made at an early date.
1t is very difficult to make an
accurate census in Imperial Valley
because of the number of fruit and
vegetable workers who spend only
part of the year here but those whc
acted as enumerators made eonsci-
entious effort to list all persons who
resided in this county on April
and it is the hope of the Ell Centre
chamber that the results of the cen
sus will be favorable for this city
and for the valley as whole.

"No, that's Just where you're

a mischievious little tyke. she
knows we heard her speaking OF

IMPROVEMENT ON.
LACUNA ROAD To
BE STARTED SOON

The FL Centre Chamber of Com
merce has received notice that ad-
vertisements have been issued for
bids on the construction of the La
guna-Pine Valley grade. Bids will
be open on May % and construction
is to commence 10 days after the
contract is awarded, according to
the information. Tis is the grade
between Laguna Junction and the
Laguna mountains, and the improve
ment of that road has been mat
ter of interest to the many persons
in Imperial Valley owning summer
homes in that recreational area for
a number of months.
The board of supervisors of San
Diego county set aside Il sum carly
in the summer of 1929 for the pur-
pose of widening and improving the
Laguna grade but actual work, be-
yond smoothing and dragging the
road, has never been started. The
communication to the FL Centre
chamber states that bids will be
made on the lowest seven miles of
the grade and that the remainder
of the road, or upper five miles, will
be constructed by the government
with its own facilities.
As this grade is a narrow, noun.
tain road, with little possibilities OF
a detour on the greater portion, II
has been decided to close the road
to travel in the day time with the
exception Ut Sundays. However,
the road will be open at night for
travel. Although this will be al
Inconvenience to vaeationists il Is
expected that the work will b,
rushed to completion and the pres
ent Inconvenience. will be wei
worth while, resulting as ii will III
IA wide, safe and easily travcle,
road into the beautiful mile higl

In addition to this information
the chamber of commerce has re
ceived word from the department OF
forestry that construction of tn,
motorway from Lagnna 10 the east
has been recommended for the fis
cal year beginning July !, 1880
This is the motorway the chambel
has long been urging and will give

way will be routed from q point

would mean so much to the resi-
dents of this valley. IT will follow

; BUILDING PERMITS GROW

One of the reasons why Imperial Val
ley continues to remain in the white
spot on business maps of the country,
as reported last week, is contained in the
building record for April in Ell Centre,
as revealed in last nights edition of the
Press. Eta
The total of $89,725, while appearing
small in comparison with operations in
large cities, is most gratifying to local
residents, as it sets new record for the
month of April.
With only one-third OF the year past,
the total thus far is well over quarter
million dollars and there is every reason
to believe that the years total will eX-
ceed half million and may even reach
the three-Quarter million mark.
Of particular interest is the fact that
eight of the months permits were for
dwelling houses, showing that the Gown
your own home' movement is having its
effect in this city.
A steady building record is the best
proof of a city's stability. Ell Centro has
been giving that proof for some months
past and there is no likelihood that it will
stop the good work.

THEY SAT TIGHT
Some men are like that.

Some men are like that.
Eight of them were flying in an army
transport yesterday near Fresno. The
plane was piloted by lieutenant, the
only officer aboard. Two sergeants,
icorporal and four privates, comprised
the rest of the crew.
Something happened, and one propel-
lor on the ship flew to pieces, sending
! two of the three motors out of commission.
AS the plane began to settle, the heuten-
. ant, realizing that trouble was coming,
| sent the sergeant who was sitting with
! him back in the cabin to tell the other
men to jump. @
The sergeant was too late, the men
having taken their orders themselves and
F''bailed OUT, as the airmen term leaving

Eeoming closer each second and the plane
entirely unmanageable, Lieutenant Max
vell told Sergeant Arthur to jump, but
xave no indication that he too was going
10 hop out.
Sergeant Arthur is a good soldier, but
that was one order he refused to obey.
If the lieutenant was going to stick with
the ship so was he, and he committed the
soldiers mortal sin by disregarding
eommand given him.
Providence must have recognized and
admired the spirit of two men who were
hot afraid to look Death in the face and
tell him where to head in. The plane
landed in vineyard, complete wreck.
From out the wreckage came the lieu
tenant and the sergeant, without a

Makes Survey OF
Beet Situation

R. II. Tallman, agricultural SUI
perintendent for the Holly Sugar
Co. of Santa Ana was recently III
the valley to investigate the posi-
bilities of sugar beet growing in
this region, stating that if growers,
representing an acreage of 5000,
were desirous of growing beets, his
company would he interested in
making contracts with them.
The reason for such large acre
age is that beets in this county are
harvested at different time from
the rest of the state, and in order
to make it possible for the com
pany to keep its plant in operation,
it must be assured of a sufficiently
large crop. Tallman further stated
that if there was a considerable in
crease in the acreage planted 20
sugar beets, a factory might be cs-
tablished at some valley point.
In 1929, seed was furnished to
farmers by this company through
the agricultural extension service
for experiment, and the production
was found TO be highly successful.
During 1928 and 30, Meads of the
company had charge of several
paintings, aud other experiments
were carried on at the Meloland
station.
1t was found that on good soil
between 10 and 20 tons per acre
can be produced. The seed should
be planted in September or the
first part of October and may be
harvested in April. May or June.
Profitable yields and good quality
beets will not come from seed
planted in alkali soils, according to
all experiments conducted in the
valley.
