REPUBLICAN CASTS
LONE VOTE

A report from Clifton
states that the town prim-
nary elections recently held
showed only one republican
vote cast.
The report says that the
election was very quiet, the
only exc tement beingcaused
by the discovery that a re-
publican had voted. But, so
the report states, the repub-
ilcanopposition is to be re-
garded a a known gu lily
and to be Of a very negli-
gent character.
They had better look out
for that lone republican vote
for in this state votes for re-
publican candidates in the
general election seem to
have multiplied exceedingly.

OLE TAKES
A REAL RIDE

Last Saturday M. l.. Durham, the
genial agent of the Southern Paci-
fic, in Coolidge, sold a ticket entitl-
ing Ole Nelson to ride a first class
ride to Mesa, and Ole thanked him
and said he was sure glad he was
going to ride on the train, hoping
it would stay on the tracks when
it went around them curves. Mr..
Durham. somewhat surprised at the
"emark of this clean cut young man
aid he expected the trains would
run en- the rails for engineers had
fund that tying tC make short
cuts at curves was the longest way
home. Ole remarked that he
thought so too, but as he was TWEEN
ty-two years old and this was the
first time he had tried getting any
where on a train he was, maybe,
little nervous.
In answer to an inquiry regarding
his usual method of transportation
Re gave the information that for
-ears, as he was growing up, he
rcde a bronco, and in all kinds of
wagons, and had travelled east and
west ouut of this state on the fami
ly auto. He was raised in st.
Johns, Arizona. At points on the
Santa Fe where he was working,
from time to time, he watched the
the trains go by, now he was 60
ing to satisfy life long ambition.
On the train to Mesa Ole, although
not as enthusiastic as small boy,
over his first ride, took a keen
pleasure in the trip and expressed
a desire to become a fireman. He
was safely carried over the curves
on his first experience with rail
road riding.

FIG VENTURE
BIG SUCCESS

A lew years past When
two young men arrived in
Casa Grande and made the
first start in raising Kadota
figs by organizing a COM
pany, which secured a large
tract of land near that city,
they met with a hearty well
come from the residents who
Leiieve that figs could be
successfully and profitably
grown.
The land was subdivided
and small fig farms sold to
buyers in the east, on the
Pacific Coast, and over this
state.
Success coming to Noel
ler-Sellers Company resulted
in the forming of other
companies until now the
country along Florence-Casa
Grande Highway starting a
short distance from Casa
Grande is planted to figs for
miles, with the prospect of
more country being planted
md more cannery plants be-
N placed in operation.
There has been some
small setbacks to the indus,
try which furnished the eX-
perience necessary to avoid
them in the future, but the
summing up of actual results
during the past three years
has proved that this valley
has a good thing in figs
they are in demand as the
following interview by g
Casa Grande Dispatch re.
porter with Geo. Sellers viii,
show:
An order for "a tons OF
figs and fig jam was receiv.
ed by the Moeller-Sellers
company of Casa Grande to.
day, according to George
Sellers, this shipment to &c
to the Great Atlantic anC
Pacific Tea company, one OF
the largest chain operator;
in the entire country. Thi;
order includes 800 cases
of whole figs and fig jam
stated Sellers.
This chain organization
operates $4,000 stores in the
country and it is understood
that this order for Casa
Grande figs will be but g
beginning Of future business
In making the selection
Sellers stated that an assert,
ment of various brands Of
figs were considered, the
Casa Grande valley figs pro.
wing to be the best on the
market with a much more
delightful flavor than those
grown and canned in Calf.
With but three years back
of them, the Moeller-Sellers

a position to take care OF
other quantity orders which
will in all probability follow
this one, stated George Sell

HIGHWAY INSPECTION SERVICE
CHECKS MANY TRUCK SHIPMENTS

During the last II days Of Dcccm-
her, men stationed on the Los Angel
cs highway checked a total of 977
trucks, according to the monthly re
port of B. 4. Harrigan, agricultural
commissioner, to the board of super
visors. OF this number 40l were
loaded trucks, 277 empty and local,
and 299 through freight trucks and
stages. Commodities hauled out in
cmded 80 truckloads of live stock,
l2l loads of hay, l6 loads of fish
and 45 loads Of grapefruit. The re-
naming number were classcd as mis-
cellaneous.
\ meeting of local lettuce ship
pcrs was held early in December for
the purpose of establishing a clean
ing house for lettuce shipments tins
season. When the eastern markets
reach the point of saturation it IL
planned to reject all lettuce for ship
ment below 4 certain high standard
fixed by the clearing house in order
to insure growing costs to the grow
crs throughout the season. The quail
ity of lettuce being shipped from
Imperial Valley this season has new
er been better and reports indicate
high returns to the growers.
The investigation of rumors, con
ductcd by this office in conjunction
with the department of agriculture,
that northern grown grapefruit was
being sold in Los Angeles and sui
urban markets labeled "Imperial",
has resulted in a complaint being
filed against the Waldan. Meffert
Company Of Los Angeles for mislab-
cling Of fruit.
An inspecto from this offoce,
whose expenses will be paid by the
grapefruit growers of Imperial Val
ley, has been assigned to the work.
His investigation will include mar.
kets in San Francisco and Nincinitv
as we'll as those in Los Angeles. The
practice of mislabcling northern
grown fruit has become increasingly
prevalent and it is believed that ad
ditional complaints will be filed
against offenders during the course
of the investigation.
The following goods were inspect
eo and passed into Imperial county
during the month of December.
