Among the small republics of Central America is Costa Rica It is only two-thirds the size of Ireland, and the entire country does not con- tain so many people as San Fran cisco.
 Despite it's small size and popula- ton, Costa Rica cuts a figure in world trade. It sends forth each year more than 1O,O00,000 punches of bananas, and also many tons of coffee.
 Among the other products of the little land are cocoa, sugar, vanilla and rubber.
 Columbus reached Costa Rica in 1493. The name means "RichCoast' and was given because the early Spaniards believed that it would yield much gold. They failed to find the riches they expected; but few hundred years later - in 1923 gold mines were discovered there. These mines have produced large amounts of the shining yellow metal.
 Costa Rica is a land of mountains and volcanoes. Some of the high above sea level.
 Tn the midst of the mountains is one of the most amazing geysers known to man. It sends steam and water to greater heights than any park.
 Poas geyser, as it is called, rises from the crater of an extinct vol- cano. The crater is filled with water, and from time to time the geyser shoots out from this water.
 The eruptions are not regular. Sometimes they follow one another only 12 minutes apart, at other times they are divided by 20 minutes or more of time.

Costa Kica's mighty geyser In
 eruption.
 Many of the eruptions are very small, rising only a few feet; but others are so strong that they might make an observer shiver in his boots Water and steam burst upward, and reach greater heights than the top of Eiffel Tower. Such eruptions are 10 times as high as the eruptions of Old Faithful geyser. Yellowstone park.
 Thus little Costa Rica has na- tural wonder of the first order.

May USE PLANES
FOR SHIPMENTS
OF CANTAL0UPES

The FL Centric Chamber Of Com
merce has been approached rela-
tive to the shipment Of cantaloupes
and fruits to the New York mar
ket by airplane ana it may be that
carly vegetables will be moving
east by plane in the near future.
In the letter received at the local
Tamber from an aircraft COM
pany Of San Diego it is stated that
by shipping early products by
plane there would be splendid adj
Vertising value for the product and
for the valley as a whole. In ad-
dition the fruits or vegetables
would arrive in New York market
several days sooner than at present
and would undoubtedly bring a
higher price
The ships which this company
plan to use are Of metal, capable
of carrying 1900 pounds OF freight
and they would guarantee delivery
in the far eastern markets in sc
hours. This would insure the ear
liest cantaloupes for the breakfast
tables of the people of the east
and early peas, lettuce and toma-
toes could be shipped in the same
manner. Although it may not be
found profitable enough to adopt
this plan of shipping at the present
time it is believed by the FL Gen.
tro chamber directors that it is
suggestion which has splendid
possibilities and will undoubtedly
be in use eventually which ship
ments. perhaps. going to markets
in foreign countries as we'll as the
eastern portion OF the United
States.

Recent development in connec-
ton with the silica sand deposits,
pumice stone deposits and other
non-metallic ores throughout the

idents but outside interests are
turning to Imperial county for raw
mineral sources and that the nett
few years will see much activity
in these lines and a substantial in
come to the county resulting from
such development.
