them too much Of the bread prob

SITUATION REALLY
SERIOUS IN 1917
That was the bread which was
grey when purchased from one
baker and white when bought
from another. Bakers, owing to
the flour shortage, were not bak-
ing entirely with flour. Mixed
with the flour was maize, rice
or oats. Maize made the bread

BY October, 1917. the food sit

that storekeepers were often
without butter, tea, sugar mar
garine and jam, and there were
weeks in some villages when the
chief diet was bread. Toward the
end of 1917 most Of the milk
cows had been slaughtered for
food, and q bad harvest made
things worse. Eggs vanished from
the scene. Dried eggs appeared.
So did q mysterious egg powder

WHAT PENASCO RAILROAD
MEANS TO THE VALLEY

A lot of folks in Imperial Valley mis-
takenly shrug off as unimportant TO
them news that the observation-disclosures
railroad will be extended this wear hall
way to Santa Ana in the Mexican state
of Sonora. They regard as comparatively
unimportant, too. the fact that the line
will be completed all the way through
to Santa Ana within two 10 five years.
They take little note of the fact that the
line will Join the Southern Pacific Of
Mexico at anita Ana.
From the strictly human standpoint,
construction of this railroad line Is an
epic of pioneering. 1t is such a story as
was written in steel and sweat across the
western part Of the United States not
many years ago. The counry traVersed
by the new Mexican line IS as wild as any
YOU could imagine; the engineering diff
ficultieS are as great as any this country
has ever overcome.
But from the economic standpoint, the
line is of major importance not only to
Mexicali, but to Imperial Valley as we'll.
The line will give Baja California its
first direct communication with Mexico
City and the balance of Mexico, aside
from aerial travel. Heretofore it has
been necessary for the Bala California
resident who wanted to visit Mexico City
10 llaN6l HOIlu IN OuSI llc OIllISu
States cross the border again in Arizona.
and go south from there Baja Califor-
mia shippers had to follow similar pro-
cedure with their freight, whether il was
going to Mexico or coming from Mexico.
With railroad line completed from
Mexical to Santa Ana, and there join
ing the Southern Pacific of Mexico, direct
rail communication will be available be-
tween the territory and the rest Of Mex
leo for the first time.
1t is only incidental, but also impor-
tant, that this rail line will open up the
gorgeous Lower California gulf country
to sportsmen and vacationers without
the hardships heretofore confronting
them in reaching that region This fact
alone may bring closer to realization the
dream of Mexican and Arizona promot-
ers of an American Monte Carlo on the
Gulf, possibly at Puerto Penasco.
Most important result of completion
Of the new line will be in the economic
and social relationships it will bring.
Imperial Valley press., 1941-04-06
IMPERIAL VALLEYS STAKE
IN THE NEW RAILROAD

Whatever Mexico has shipped to Cal
ifornia and other western states in the
past, by rail, has had to come up over
the Southern Pacific of Mexico, which
crosses the international border hundreds
of miles to the east Of here. When the
new railroad is in final and complete
operation such goods will come through
Mexicali-and through Imperial Valley.
When Mexican tourists and officials
have visited the western states in the
past, they have followed the same route
as freight. Now they, too, will come
through MeXicali and Imperial Valley.
Additional shipping will come with
development Of port facilities on the
gulf, meaning more business for both
MeXicali and Imperial Valley 1t is not
at all impossible that MeXicali may with
in few years become one of Mexico's
greatest clearing houses in the transac-
tion of international business. And such
development for MeXicali cannot help
bringing a similar development for I'm
perial Valley cities.
Transportation has always been a ma
jor factor in promoting good will be-
tween peoples An efficient railroad op-
Grating from MeXicali to the interior of
Mexico, feeding into California, will do
much to promote the good neighbor'
policy so important these days
Imperial Valley should write down
MeXicali's new railroad as one Of its own
major proiects-for its results will be
far reaching.
