CLAIMS TRACY WAS
MEXICALI ROBBER

From reports originating in Mexi-
cali it was learned that a Chinaman
had been held up and robbed of $5,-
900, one of the robbers being recog-
nized as. S. M. Tracy, young man
who recently escaped from the chain
gang from this county. The authori-
ties have known for some time that
Tracy has been in Mexicali, but could
not take any action.
Tracy confessed to robbing a local
druggist and was sentenced to 80
days. One of his acquaintance
claimed that Tracy had $190 hidden
after escaping and made across the
line and has been living there in idle
ness.
The report stated that the robbers
had succeeded in making their escape
after the perpetration of the outlaw
ry. 1t is evident that the men trav-
eled southwards, as Tracy would not
attempt to again enter California.

SAN DIEGANS WIRE
THANKS TO VALLEY

The citizens committee of 100, conf.
posed of the prominent business men
of San Diego, wired the Imperial Val
ley Chamber of Commerce this morn
ing, thanking the latter for it's ef-
forts in the recent campaign by
which the city of San Diego carried

tenn from John D. Spreckels, enabling

struction of the San Diego & Arizons
railroad. re,4

congratulations much appreciated by
all. We thank you for the help OF
your representatives in the cam
paign. Their enthusiasm caused us
to redouble our efforts. The victory
is yours as well as ours. May our
harboi and your Imperial Valley soon
be joined"

on the other hand, is chiefly valuabl.
for the very purpose indicated by your
correspondent, and as a source of wa
ter supply for the city of San Diego.
Since watershed protection is one OF
the primary purposes for which ma
tional forests are established and
maintained, the Laguna mountains
should most certainly be retained in
the Cleveland National Forest, and
their use and occupancy regulated
with due regard to public interests
and the necessities of the communi-
ties most vitally concerned"
Congressman Kettner adds in his
letter as follows:
"From this it would seem that the
department has no intention of re-
storing any of the lands in question
to entry, and / am sure that this in
formation will be most acceptable to
you."
