Owners May Get Aid
DR.. Fox pointed out that anyone
interested should telephone the
offices of the county health de-
partment or consult officials re-
garding this matter. He pointed
out that if the tenant or property
owners furnished materials, the ac-
tual construction Of the building
would be supervised by Strickler
and the labor would be furnished
from the relief rolls of the SERA.
The concrete slab and riser will
be required but old usable lumber
may be used instead of new for
the building and vault.
Sanitary privies may eventually
be installed in the unsewered por-
tions of Ell Centre, the city coun-
ell, at a conference with DR.. Fox
and the supervisors Monday night
having agreed to consider chang
ing the city ordinance SO as to pro-
vide for such structures in the in
terest of public health, after DR..
Fox had pointed out the dangers
existing at present from unsanitary
toilets.
The health officer emphasized
the point that a marked reduction
in tuberculosis, typhoid fever and
infant mortality death rates from
other diseases should result with
i'm provence ents to sanitation
throughout the county. He express
ed the hope that the cooperation
of all residents on the eastside of
Ell Centro, living in unsewered Sec
tions, would be secured in putting
over this important sanitary pro-
gram. He, likewise, urged those
living in the rural areas of the
county and the unincorporated
towns to interest themselves in the
project. Application blanks may be
secured at the offices of the coun-
ty health department at the court
house, in Ell Centre. 1t is necessary
for these to be received before
work can be commenced.

jewelry, according to announcement
received by The Press. The firm
carries both a government and a
city license and has been in bust
ness in San Diego for some time.
The local mart has been opened
because those in charge believe that
there is enough gold in the valley
to warrant staying some time. They
state that they are not connected
with the government but are a pri-
vate business.
On display in the window are ex-

articles. They state that they be-

FARM BUREAU
FIGHTS BOOST
IN RAIL RATES

American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton is mobilizing the forces of or
ganized agriculture to fight the at
tempt of railroads to raise freight
rates still higher. The railroads re-
Gently filed petition with the in
terstate commerce commission ask
ing general increase of 10 per
cent in all freight rates.
Advices just received at county
Farm Bureau offices state that
Chester H. Gray, Farm Bureau rep
resentative in Washington, recently
called a conference of Is general
farm groups at which plans were
made to combat the proposed in
crease. Participating in the confer
ence with the, farm bureau were rep.
resentatives. of the tiona
Grange, the Farmers Educational
and Cooperative Union of America,
cooperative marketing groups, lum-
ber interests, and dairy industry
and other affected groups.
This proposal is of vital concern
to Imperial county," said c. o.
Hoober, president of the county
farm bureau. 1.-THE proposed in
crease affects not only crops grown
and shipped to market, but also
freight on food, furniture, imple-
ments and all supplies that farm
ers buy If approved the increase
would add at least $1,500,000 annu-
ally to the freight bill paid by resi-
dents of Imperial county. In 1888
the grain, hay and vegetables ship
ped from Imperial county paid to-
tai freight bill of $9,090,600. A 10
per cent increase would add $909,-
060. Then in addition there would
be the freight charges against cat
tie, hogs, sheep, dairy products,
poultry and other crops produced
here. These freight charges are
paid by the farmer. In addition
there are the transportation costs
on incoming supplies and equip
ment that are included in the prices
paid by the farmer, business man
and worker
This incident illustrates the
value of strong, alert and aggreS-
sive farm organization to do nee
essary piece of work that individual
farmers cannot do

HARRIGAN'S REPORT TELLS OF WAR
AGAINST GRASSHOPPERS IN VALLEY

Throughout the month of Sep
tember, 1000 pounds of poison
bran was spread over approximate
ly 46O0 acres of land infested with
grasshoppers. Exceptionally good
kills were reported on checked
areas. Poison bait was taken read
lily, possibly because of lack of 9TH
er material to feed on. Infesta-
tions in some cases were found
over plowed areas, is the statement
made in the September report Of
B. A. Harrigan, county agricultural
commissioner, to the board of su-
pervisors.
With a large crew of men work.
ing on this project most infested
areas should be covered during the
next month. This work has been
held up to some extent due to lack
of transportation. >
Heavier infestations will be
noted since water has been avail
able for general field crops and
should be reported to this office as
soon as possible. This will make
possible the poisoning of matches
from the scattered egg beds. In
festations are more general now
than earlier in the year and ex-
tend from Eighth street in Impe-
rial north to inland. Paintings OF
lettuce should be watched and pois-
on spread at the first signs of hop
per infestations.
Grapefruit shipments will start
early in October, considerably earl
