 the past summer has been visited by her mother, Mrs. M. A. Steele. The latter was called there by the illness
 of her daughter, Mrs. Lilly. Both Mrs Steele and Mrs. Maggie Flaw
 kins will return to Mesa before the first of October. Miss Pomeroy ex- poets to go to the coast again as soon as she has completed her visit here.
 Parties returning from the coast recently report that the beach re- sorts have been poorly attended dur ing the season, compared to past years. One of the chief reasons for the falling off of the tourist trade is the accident at Long Beach at the opening of the season; another is the frequent accidents on the Pacific Electric lines between Los Angeles and the beach resorts. and still an other was the stringency of the east ern money market. Many people found themselves unable to spare the money for q long vacation.
