Shipping Needs in
Valley Surveyed

Ford K. Edwards, engineer for the
California railway commission, is in
Imperial Valley interviewing farm
ers, truckmen, shippers and growers
concerning the transportation needs
for this area.
The information gathered is eX-
pected to be used at re-hearing OF
the tariff for contract haulers OF
fruit, vegetables, and farm produce
(not including hay and grain). The
date of the re-hearing has not been
announced.
An act passed by the legislature
of 1888 made it necessary for truck
men transporting goods for hire,
said Deputy District Attorney
Charles G. Halliday, to take out a
license with the state, with the rail-
way commission to set the minimum
rate to be charged for hauling farm
products within California.
Members of the state farm bu-
reau and the Truck Owners aSso-
citation filed the petitions for the
re-hearing Nov. 9, on the minimum
rates fixed on the grounds that
there was not sufficient notice.

MEAD LAKE FAILS TO CHANGE
WEATHER, CLIMATE OF DESERT

Has Lake Mead over 100 miles
long and the largest man-made body
of water in the world exerted any
influence on the weather and
climate of Americas driest desert,
in the heart of which it was created
by construction of Boulder Dam in
the Colorado river?
This question, about which there
has been much speculation now can
be answered, "Emphatically, no.
Lake Mead was not expected to
influence the weather of the south
west" John G. Page, acting COM
missioner of the bureau Of reclama-
ton, said today. 1T has not done
SO and it will not"
An investigation was begun last
summer when unauthoritative
statements were circulated that
perceptible changes in the climate
and weather were resulting as Lake
Mead grew behind Boulder Dam.
The bureau of reclamation had CAL
culated in advance the rate Of
evaporation from Lake Mead which
could be expected These calcula-
tions indicated that insufficient
moisture would be lost to cause a
noticeable alteration in weather
conditions. A series Of tests are
now underway to check precisely
the amount of evaporation actually
occurring, and while the records OBJ
tanned are too short to be con-
elusive, they indicate the calcula-
tions made in advance will be
found to be closely accurate.
Not wishing to await the con-
clusion of these tests, information
was sought by the bureau of reclaim
alton from residents near Boulder
Dam, from airplane pilots who fly
over Lake Mead each day, and from
meteorologists of the United States
weather bureau at Phoenix, Arizona
Reno, Nevada, and Salt Lake City
Utah, who are in charge of the
weather records of the vast area
surrounding Lake Mead.
j. Cecil Alter, mereoroligist fol
the weather bureau at Salt Lake
City, summed up the evidence OBJ
tanned with this observation:
by comparison, the water in 8
pitcher on a speakers stand is about
as effective in air-conditioning ar
auditorium as Lake Mead is il
modifying the climate"
Seventeen pilots and co-pilots Of
a great western air line which send.
planes daily across Lake Mead were
questioned. Fifteen reported they
had noticed no change in atmos.
pheric conditions. Two said tina
they believed the time has elapsed
since Lake Mead began to form il
February 1885 was too short to make
any change evident.
Residents near Boulder Dam anc
in cities close by the lake said the,
had noticed no difference in tn,
climate.
George " Sager, associate meteor
ologist of the weather bureau a

Mead has had no appreciable effec

monty resulting in intense local
storms of cloudburst proportions.
THE rains in the southern and
eastern portions of Nevada this
year in August were of this type" !"
Sager said. when the area of Lake
Mead is compared with the thous-
ands of square miles over which
such showers are distributed, and
when the fact that the vapor Of
evaporation from the lake surface
is being constantly carried away
and mingled with dry air over a
vast area is taken into account, it
is at once apparent that no i'm
portant effect on local rainfall is
likely to be found"
Walter B. Hare, meteorologist of
the weather bureau at Phoenix,
said it was possible that humidity
within a radius of few miles of
the lake might be raised sufficient
ly to be noticeable in records kept
over a long period of time but that
the effect of Lake Mead on the
climate otherwise would be negli-
gible.
Circulation of the atmosphere is
such," Mr.. Hare said, that much
of the moist air air rising from
the lake will be carried entirely Out
of the state of Arizona. Moreover
regardless of the direction of its
movement, it will become so diff
fused and scattered over such a wide
area that its influence will be re-
duced to a minimum"

This was revealed by Thomas F.

to ascertain just what use the peo-

AS a result of this correspond
ence, Manager Robert Hays of the
Ell Centre chamber dispatched let
ters to all shipping firms and bus
mess concerns in Imperial Valley
asking what use they would make
OF air passenger and mail service
If they were established out of

the newspapers of Imperial Valley
to request business men and par

press in a letter what benefit this
service would be.
