HAY GROWERS ASSOCIATION
MAKES OUTSTANDING RECORD

hay products at lower rates of in
terest and the elimination of un-
scrupulous dealers.
BY making large hay sales and
storing them in the yards in FL Gen.
tro and Westmorland during May.
1896. the association was able to keep
thousands of tons of hay out of Los
Angeles and San Diego.
May production was unusually
heavy and had all of the hay been
shipped to the coast markets price
of the product would have dropped
to SO per ton. However, because of
the action Of the association, the
price level was held above $40.
This action is estimated to have
netted the hay growers Of the val
ley more than 100000.
Many non-member growers. real
izing that such benefits are directly
traceable to the association, are
showing their appreciation by filing
applications for membership.
The growth of the HaygrowerS as
sociation was particularly strong in
the south end of the valley during
1886. To accommodate members in
this section, an office and storage
room is being erected in Ell Centro.
The association keeps in close
contact with the Riverside Hay
Growers and the Antelope Valley
Hay Growers association thus facili-
tating the gathering Of data in re-
gard to market conditions in those
sections.
The board of directors of the val
ley association is comprised of Is
members representing all sections
of the valley. S. f. Robinson is

EARNINGS TAX
COMMENDED BY
GAS EXECUTIVE

Business conditions throughout
the entire country are constantly
improving, according to H. L. Far
rar of San Francisco. president OF
the Natural Gas company OF Call
fornia. who was a visitor in I'm
perial Valley Monday and Tuesday.
While inspecting the holdings OF
the company here. and consulting
with Russell Nance. El Centro man
aeer. Farrar had time to generally
check valley conditions and COM
ment on the outlook for 1887.
He recommended the action o.
the national administration IN levy
inc a tax on undivided surpluSes
on the grounds that the plan was
forcing corporations to declare all
earnings out as dividends in order
to avoid payment Of the levy. This,
he felt. will continue to stimulate
business.
He declared that the tax worked
a much more severe hardship on
small corporations than the larger
ones. and felt that it would serl-
ously injure improvement and prog
ress if maintained as other than a
temporary policy.
He demonstrated keen interest IN
the power question in Imperial VAL
lev. If an agreement is not MADE
whereby the Imperial Irrigation
District buys out the power COM
pany, he said. the competition re-
sulting between the power company
and a district system would prove
expensive to the consumers. public
and district as well as power COM
pany itself. He said the best solu-
ton would be for the company to
sell out to the district at fair price.
This ne said, would be cheaper
than an extended and expensive
battle.
Farrar declared that Imperial
Valley could anticipate constant
growth. but that the expansion
would be steady rather than Of a
boomlike nature.
He left Tuesday for a two weeks
vacation in Phoenix.

By w, L.. JACOBS

The Imperial Hay Growers asso-
citation. organized in 1888 by a group
of far-seeing farmers in the Brawley
district, and subsequently spreading
to all parts of Imperial Valley, has
made an outstanding record in its
four years existence.
Marketing conditions before 1888
had been extremely unsatisfactory
The grower was forced to accept the
price which the buyer was willing
to offer. This price, in the ma
iority of cases. was far below the
value of the product. This condi-
ton permitted the buyer or dealer
to be the controlling powers in the
marketing.
During the first year Of operation
the associations gross sales reached
$50 900. III the fiscal year of 1886,
which ends in March, the sales OF
the association will total more than
100000.
The associati ton operates on a cash
basis. Each member pays 40 cents
ner ton of hay sold. This fee takes
care of the operating expenses. In
addition to the operating cost Zee,
two per cent of the net sale Is
turned over TO general fund. When
This fund reaches $4,000 1t Will be
maintained and will become a re,
volving fund. the surplus benig used
to paw back the members in order
of seniority. o :, :.
the fund is nearing $4,000 and Is
c,ated to reach its goal in 1888.

an aggressive twist, exactly as he had
many years ago when he had delighted
Anne with offers to challenge and
fight the whole world on her behalf.
"Non, General Jacques" she laugh
ed. Il could not tell you his name if

dividual alone, / shall, in time, exact
my own revenge" And her mouth
frightened into straight scarlet line.
"Now, 'Toinette DEAR" smiled the
Comtesse, las Jacques may have told
you, we've a great surprise for you
one of the most charming men have
ever met-and have met many in my
life-just the sort of man you should
have for husband"
Anne made little moue of dismay
that pursed her mouth to an adorable
rosebud. "Que Dieu me pratige, are
you, to, going to select husband for
me?"
The Comtesse laughed lightly and
shook her aristocratic head. "Oh, no
God forbid, but, my dear, it would
be most excellent match. Our Nor
man is so charming-so raffine-so
distingue. Were it not for my cher
Jacques, would fall in love with him
myself"
"Mille mercis, ma cherie," smiled
the General, land were it not for you,
ma chere Carine, I would throw my
heart at the feet of our little 'Toin-
ette". Forthwith, commenced a round
of introductions to the brown-faced
officers, who, completely dazzled,
crowded about.
Anne's success was instantaneous
as usual. All the officers, lieutenant
and colonel, old and young, brave in
their dress uniforms of light blue,
dark blue, black and white, were with
out exception her avowed slaves. Even
a grey-haired old war dog-a major
of the Foreign Legion, surrendered
Internationally to the gracious girl
with the copper -hued hair, and his
stern scar-seamed face softened per-

triple row of decorations which cover

at the conclusion of her summary,
turned aside to hide a frown. Why
cry of annoyance.
"Peste," she murmured. "Poor Anne
will have to wait a little for her sur
prise. 1t seems Monsieur Roberts has
become entangled with the plans for
his precious expedition again. That,
'Toinette, I'll confess is his one fail
ing-his passionate devotion to the
work he has on hand"
"What work is that?" inquired
Anne with a detached interest, and
turned aside ii hide a frown. Why
couldn't she get that wretched man
in the SIOUX out of her mind? With
difficulty, could she restrain her Gag
erness to begin questioning her host
about the grey-eyed stranger. Fore
ing charming smile to her lips, she
answered the Comtesse. what does
he do?"
"He," stated the Comte with an i'm
pressive nod of his fine old head, "is,
without doubt, the most brilliant en-
gineer in the service of the Bureau
Adabe. He is at present engaged in
making surveys for the projected Che
min de Fer rans-Saharienne-if you
like, after dinner I'll show you where
it's to run. A great work.
The company, numbering about
twelve, were about to seat themsel-

rustling palms in the spacious court

wrought in thousand sparkling high
lights on the spotless napery, the glis-
tening crystal and the cleaning silver,
which the de Brionville had brought
from their far-away Normandy home.
In the center Of the table was ar
ranged bank of barbarically flaming
flowers-red, yellow, blue and white.
Anne stood contemplating the fan
tastic tiles of yellow and blue which
composed the fountain, and only faint
ly heard the arrival of the belated
guest.
"Ah," sighed the Comtesse, "he is
here just in time. Now, my dear, for
our little surprise-I'm sure you'll
like him as we all do"

tardy guest. Anne's back was turn

heart skipped not one, but three or
four beats, and the blood rushed to
the roots of her close-cropped curls.

like glove, stood the big grey-eyed

Joe sat by the fireside of his

That statement goes for the

he must have something more to

Qudntri|Ie
By GARRETT WATERS


The interhigh school basketball
series promises to put on another
show besides the return of the
double-header system, a show in
itself, this season.
It's the parade of centerS who'll
take the floor for the various
teams.
History tells many an adept per-
former graced series OF other
years. How many of us will ever
forget Bill Noonan, Bernie Lieb,
Buddy Shaner, Downey Rice. Bits
Keyser, Bob Free an, Hank
Duryee, Francis Beamer, or Bud
Handley, to mention only a few?
This year one or two others may
find themselves on the list. Each
team, with the possible exception
of Woodrow Wilson because OF
the. unknown quality of the entire
team, boasts talented tap-oft men.
Eastern leads the group with
Clinton Quantrille, who was a sub
to Buddy Shaner, OF last years
championship five.
Quantrille has gained great
deal of experience since the 1885
36 campaign and in outside games
this winter has looked the part
of a great center for the Kelley
coached machine. He may not be
as competent as were Noonan,
Lieb and Shaner of other cam
paigns, but he's developing rap
idly.
Central and Roosevelt fall next
in line and are about tied with
each other with Sam Fox and Joe
Conner. Fox, jumping for Central,
is the larger, player Of the two,
but probably not as agile as the
smaller Rider ace, Conner. How
ever, both are adept and should
be big aids to their teams in the
series.
Westerns He'll and Techs Mills
promise to prove troublesome per
formers, also fast and accurate
basket-swisherS. Both have shown
to good advantage in outside
games to date and are. looked
upon to make names for them
selves in the series.
Quantrille and Fox will face
each other in Fridays opener at
Tech when Eastern and Central
clash at 3:15 p. m. in the first
game of the scheduled double
header, while He'll and whoever
Coach Heintell, of woodrow Viii
son, decides to use at center, will
oppose in the WeStern-Wilson
Setto at Ais p. m. -.. ts.-. -
This series, incidentally, should
do a great service to the series.
1t should definitely stamp in the
minds of the Schedule-maker that
double-headerS are really the back.
bone for league play. And that it
will be a mistake to ever discon-
tinue them again, because of the
color, the tenSeness and absolute
hysteria that steps hand in hand.
