90 mile segment will replace one OF
the most tortuous sections of the
entire seven mile grade.
Immediate advertising for bids
was authorized at Sacramento by
the highway commission, accord
ing to United Press dispatches.
Work will start within three months,
engineers predicted, and should be
completed by the fall of 1889.
Curves on the present highway
system are in many cases made
within a rs foot radius Curves on
the new section will be within a
minimum of 700 foot radius, ac-
cording to E. E. Wallace, San Diego
district highway engineer who will
have charge of construction. Road
way for the new link will be 36
feet wide with 20 foot paved sur
face and the balance oiled. On the
present highway the road is "a feet
wide, with paving 20 feet wide.
No miles will be saved by the new
link, because of the necessity OF
making a wide swing south OF
Boulder Park, but engineers estl-
mated time would be saved by the
more gradual grade.
Bids will be advertised and
awarded out of Sacramento, be-
cause of the magnitude of the prof.
ect, which will require blasting a
way through the hills for the now

Merchants Here Fail to
Answer QUESTIONABLE,
Lose Publicity

Ell Centre was omitted Sat
urday from the monthly re-
tail sales report for May of
the United States Depart
ment of Commerce because a
majority of Ell Centro independent
merchants failed to return filled-in
questionnaires to the bureau.
This city was shown in the April
report to be most prosperous in
California. The report for that
month drew national comment.
Under leadership of the Ell Centre
chamber of commerce a drive was
started here coincident with release
of the May report to induce al,
Ell Centre merchants to fill in and
submit the lists received monthly
from the department of commerce,
Unless this is done, chamber OF
commerce officials pointed out, El
Centro loses valuable publicity and
the opportunity to compare its busi-
ness with that of other cities.
The May report showed Petaluma
most prosperous city among those
listed, with a 14.8 per cent increase
for May, 1888, over May, 1887. The
percentage of increase in Petaluma
was not equal to the 1853 per cent
increase reported by Ell Centre In
April, 1888, over April, 1887.
