ment Of all civilians in the Colorado

TELLS OF TENT CITY'S
PLANS FOR SEASON

That the English language does not
contain adjectives enough to proper
ly describe Imperial Valley is the
belief of E. L. Phillips, advertising
representative of the Spreckels COM
panies of San Diego, who arrived in
Ell Centre yesterday afternoon. Mr..
Phillips came over from San Diego
with G. N. Keoppel, steamship and
tourist agent, who has branch offices
in the Security Commercial and Saw
ings Bank building of this city, which
will also maintain bureau of in
formatio4Segarding Coronado Tent
City. X - -. - -
81 have heard great deal about
Imperial Valley. said Mr.. Phillips,
"and | am ashamed that l had not
before visited your wonderful coun-
try. 1 have simply been astounded
at the resources and possibilities of
this section. The opportunities for
money-making here appeal to me as
being tremendous ones and when tha
San Diego & Arizona railway is COM
pleted next year you will have splen-
did market for your products"
Ma. Phillips is here in the inter-
ests of Coronado Tent City, the pop
ular beach resort, located just across
the bay from San Diego. Mr.. Phil
lips is very optimistic regarding the
coming season at this Eesort and
stated that the expectations were for
larger number of Imperial Valley
people to spend the summer there
than ever before.
"Money has not been spared" said
Mr.. Phillips, Gin improving Tent City.
All of the four hundred palm tent
houses and cottages have been over
hauled and renovated. In many new
furniture has been added and in fact
the task of housekeeping has been
carried on on a gigantic scale. The
new $4,000 ocean promenade is be-
ing built and will be completed by
June /. Chiaffarelh and his royal
Italian band of thirty pieces has been
engaged to furnish free concerts aft
ernoons and evenings during the en-
tire season.
"The organization at Coronado Tent
City is stronger than ever before.
Claus Spreckels, the new general
manager, is taking an active inter-
est in and deovitng gerat deal OF
time to the work at this resort. G.
A. Cheney, the local manager who
relieved Mr.. Hammond during part
of last year, is a tireless worker and
has had much experience in resort
work. T. P. Getz, the newly-appoint-
ed director of amusements, is
whirlwind and is planning to provide
novel entertainment for the old and
young who will spend the season at
Coronado Tent City.
81 believe former patrons Of Corc-
nado Tent City, as well as those who
have never before visited this resort,
will be greatly pleased with this beau
tiful resort located across the bay
from San Diego"

REFUGEES CENSURE
THE GOVERNMENT
Omitted Press Day Service)

San Diego, May 2-Refugees who
arrived yesterday from the west
Mexican coast are seeking positions
here today or departing for cities
where they have relatives and friends.
They are amazed that the people gen
orally are paying so little attention
TO the Mexican situation and severely
criticise the government for failure
to send troops to protect Americans
remaining in Mexico.
The Red Cross office here expert
enced its busiest day. A majority OF
the refugees left their homes hur-
riedly and few had money. Practical
ly none had extra clothes. The Red
Cross volunteered to furnish trans
portation to those desiring to leave,
while the city will make efforts -
find positions for those remaining.
Among those applying for transporta-
ton was J. H. Kipp, owner of the
largest hardware store in western
Mexico, with 100000 stock. Kipp
said:
"They came to my store and gave
me an hour and half to leave Quad
alajara. 1t meant death to stay. I
didn't even have time to get few
dollars together l don't believe
will ever return"
The refugees are firm in the opin-
ION that seventy-fve Americans not
notified in time to catch the train
from Guadalajara have been killed.
