San DIEGO PORT
HANDLING CHARGE
MADE BY VESSELS

Information that a misaprehen-
sion has existed in Imperial VAL
ley, to the effect that the authori-
ties of the port of San Diego are
responsible for the 55-cent loading
charge prevailing on freight
shipped from that city, has been
received at the Ell Centro Chamber
of Commerce. Robert Hays, man
ager of the local chamber, which
with the San Diego Chamber of
Commerce has been trying to
eliminate this loading charge, is
informed by c. F. Reynolds, man
ager of the traffic and foreign
trade department of the San Diego
chamber, that this charge is ex-
acted by the steamship lines and
not by the port authorities.
Hays points out that although
steamship lines have set this
handling charge in San Diego
harbor, they do not exact it at
Los Angeles, and it is for that
reason the San Diego chamber is
urging its removal. Naturally,
II dllIC lllONCo W IllG pOIG WHICH
does not exact a handling charge
and the steamship companies do
not gain by such a charge when
the bulk of the traffic is from the
port which makes no charge.
In many cases, the Ell Centro
chamber believes, it would be
more convenient, and perhaps
cheaper, to ship products or re-
ceive goods through the port of
San Diego we're it not for the
present loading charge which
greatly increases the freight cost
on carload shipments. 1t is for
this reason and in order that I'M
perial Valley shippers and mer-
chants may have an opportunity
to use either harbor without a
freight differential that the El
Centro chamber is interested in
working with the San Diego or
ganization to the end that this
handling charge may be eliminated.

Pacific Coast
League Scores
(By United Press

tBy United Press
If the Hollywood Stars can't stop
the front running San Francisco
Seals-and they didn't stop them
last night-the best that any other
coast league club apparently can
hope for this season is second
place.
The Seals started out as usual
and trimmed the second place
Stars, 7 to S, sending the film
city lads to third position behind
Portland. The San Franciscos
already have won all four of their
series this year and began the
fifth by taking a lead over the
Stars which they held throughout
the game.
The big surprise of the day was
Los Angeles defeat by the Mission
Reds, 6 to 4. Both teams scored
three times in the first inning but
the Missions added two more in
the third and held the Seraphs in
leash. More performances like that
will lift the Reds out of the cellar
Outhit. 13 to 8, the Oakland Oaks
nevertheless came through with q
victory over the Sacramento Sem
ators by 5 to 3 score. Daglia and
Thomas gave the Sacs only scat
tered safeties while the winners
punched theirs.
The only day game was a nip
and tuck affair between Seattle
and Portland which the Ducks
won in the ninth, to 2. The Tribe
tied the score in that inning, all,
and the Beavers were hard pressed
until they sent over the winning
tally.

LOS ANGELES, May 4.-Those

AS you know, I had for long time been
troubled with distressing palpitatons of my
heart. My liver and kidneys failed to act prop
ery and there was always feeling of tghtness
about my chest which filled me with forebod-
ngs. This general upset brought about an ex
treme nervousness and I had recourse to one
after another without experiencing more than
q passing relief. 1t seemed as though the ring
ing in my ears might never cease and at times
I feared it would affect my hearing. Then as
a last resort, having been told of your herbs,
sought you and after only six weeks found my
self in an entirely normal condition.
There is no mistake about it, I AM CURED,
and I have you alone to thank for it. That is
why l write this letter.
