Brawley men who are determined

ouild the structure. It is to go up
on the site of the present Hotel
Bungalow, which is at best but col

The structure will combine every
modern feature and will be ample for
the entertainment Of guests for many

vided for additions which may be edd-
ed without sacrificing the artistic
beauty Of the design.
The location on the site of the Bun

structure and the location is especial
ly advantageous from a commercial
viewpoint. Its convenience to the de-
pot and business center will insure
permanent occupancy at good rem

cials May Pass at Will.

Inspector-in-C Charge Musgrave of
the Calexico immigration office yes
terday received further instructions
concerning the new border regulations
which are hailed with joy by the
ranchers and persons engaged in all
industries in that portion Of the I'm
perial Valley lying across the Mexican
boundary line. The instructions were
telegraphed, and were very brief, but
explicit.
Inspector Musgrave is authorized
by the Bureau of immigration to is
sue Identification cards to American
employees of the Imperial Irrigation
District, ranches and similar con-
cerns," on either side of the boundary
line, where the daily work of such
employees requires that they travel
back and forth across the line.
For this purpose, the telegram
states, the portion Of the Imperial
Valley lying in Mexico will be consid-
cred Contiguous territory"
The telegram was forwarded to In
spector Musgrave by Frank w. Berk-
shire, supervising inspector, from his
headquarters at Ell Paso. It's pro-
visions will make it much easier for
the irrigation company and the ranch
ers in the Valley across the line to
keep up the number of their laborers
to the full quota, and to carry on
their work without interruption, which
the officials of the immigration serv.
ice were unable to avoid if the original
orders had been enforced.
To date more than 500 cards have
been issued. The number of appli.
cants has fallen off rapidly within
the last day or two.
