California Company Wants to
Raise 300 AerMs0
Here This Year
The prospect of making the Co-
quilk* valley a market garden for the
eastern markets appear brighter thia
week than ever before.
Them ia
nothing definite to report, but two
men have been hero within the past
month, one of them this week, looking
for a 800 acre tract on which to grow
peaa.
The first visitor, W. M. Shrode, of
the San Diego Fruit and Produce Co.,
Was taken over the county and as far
aouth as the Star ranch in Curry
county by J. S. Erwin, local realtor,
who recommended the Russ tract if it
eould be secured.
A brother of the first visitor, W. C.
Shrode, of Arroyo Grande, Calif., was
here last Friday until the first of the
week, and while her? conferred with
Ned Kay, at the warehouse, in regard
to space for handling the product Ho
also conferred with Geo. R. Johnson
in regard to furnishing ice for refri­
gerator cars in which the peaa weald
be shipped east.
These men, or the company they re­
present, ship peas from southern
California in season, from Utah and
Washington, and they am seeking a
location where peas ean bo harvested
in August and September.
♦
They want to Isaac 300 acres thia
year to try out this section, with the
option of securing the laixf for two
years more, and they also want an
option to purchase.
If thsy secure the 300 acres and
the results are profitable they desire
to plant 1,000 acres to peaa next year.
And while they did not specify it, it
is very probable that any farmer who
wished to raise peas at the summer’s
end would find in the company a buy- j

Dogs to Start
Keep your dogs tied up. 1
the warning issued by M
Brown who says that next week the
spring drive on loose-running canines
wifi begin.
Complaints have been Increasing
lately at the city hall because of the
destruction of flower beds and gardens
by dogs, and the day marshal haa an­
nounced his intention of enforcing the
ordinance.
•„
Nor is he going to give individual i
notice to the owners. On complaint
that a dog is loose hs will forthwith
take the owner before Recorder Les­
lie, end he anticipates that it may r-
quire four or five arrests to convince
the dog owners that the animals must
be kept up.
There will be no police attempt to
capture the dogs. The ordinance pro-!
vides that the owner be arrested and
fined.
