LARGE influx
OF TOURISTS
EXPECTED

Reports from the Los Angeles and
Riverside offices of the Southern Pa
cific Company today indicated that
many eastern tourists are expecting
to take advantage of the low rates
provided for the excursion to Imper-
ial Valley points next Friday and Sat
urday.
The Ell Centre Chamber of Com
merce yesterday telegraphed an ur-
gent request to the secretaries of the
chambers of commerce at Los Ange-
les, Pasadena, Pomona, Ontario
Bloomington, Cotton, San Bernardino
Riverside, Redlands, Beaumont, Ban
ming and other points in the region
from which the excursion is to be
run, to invite visitors in their midst
to take a day or two off and see I'M
perial valley.
A feature is being made of the ex-
cellent weather prevailing in the val
ley at this time and this fact is ex-
rected to cause a great number of
people to come on this excursion.

BY Don C.. Bitler

by UOn y. Bitter
Commercial Secretary Ell Centre
Chamber of Commerce.
Much valuable information was OBJ
tanned by Commercial Secretary D. C.
Bitler of the Ell Centre Chamber of
Commerce at the annual convention
of the California Association of Com
mercial Secretaries, held at Sacrament
to, last week. Many of the ideas Of
fered out of the wealth of their ex-
perience by the various secretaries of
the commercial organizations through
ought the state are suitable for prac-
tical application in Ell Centre and the
Imperial Valley, according to Secre-
tary Bitler.
"The state association is composed
of secretaries who are doing big
things for their various communities"
said the secretary today. GAS there
is practically no literature on the work
of the chamber of commerce secre-
tary, the association was formed to
enable those in the profession in Cali
fornia to get together and discuss the
problems that affect their respective
districts. The result of the conferen-
ces and papers given at the sessions
of the annual convention is the car
rying home by each secretary of many
excellent ideas for chamber of COM
merce work. This was the best con-
vention yet held by the association,
due to the cooperation of the trans
portation companies in providing free
passes for the secretaries.
"Among those who took promi-
nent part in the program were Rob-
crt Newton Lynch, vice president and
manager of the San Francisco Cham
her of Commerce; Thomas H. Reed,
city manager of San Joseph; Robert
O. Bonnell, secretary of the Redlands
Chamber of Commerce; S. Glen An
drus, secretary of the Sacramento
Chamber of Commerce and president
of the Secretaries Association; w. T.
Clarke, professor of agricultural ex-
tension of the University of Southern
California; Edward F. Trefz, associ-
ate secretary Of the Los Angeles
Chamber of Commerce and formerly
field secretary Of the United States
Chamber of Commerce, and others.
Between the business sessions,
which were we'll attended and inter-
csting, the Sacramento Chamber OF
Commerce provided an excellent pro-
gram of entertainment, including spe-
cial luncheons, addresses by promi-
nent officials, including Lieutenant
Governor Stephens, visits to the gold
dredgers, Folsom penitentiary. Even
while riding across country in auto
mobiles secretaries exchanged ideas
and plans of work, so that we feel
the convention will result in no end
of good for the future work of the 81
Centre Chamber of Commerce.
"A strong fight was made for the
next annual convention, William Sea
Jr., Secretary Of the Farmers &
Merchants Club Of Calexico, working
hard to help land it, but due to con-
ditions which could not be controlled

could hope to be rescued, we would

that meant? 1t meant that we would
lose our senses, and that that was in
evitable.
eve knew we must travel due north
and that if we got off the track and
wandered, even for an hour, it meant
the loss of the one chance we had to
be saved. So we began to. coach each
other, on the theory that we might
possibly impress the one thought so
deeply in our minds that after reason
fled it would be uppermost and that
it would guide us on and on. The the
ory was right. Psychologists and
mental experts can never convice me
that it was not.
"When my strength finally gave out
and brave old Robertson said he would
plod on alone, his last words were:
Remember, Harry-keep going
north, keep going north
81 never felt so utterly alone, or
imagined what ones feelings could
be until | saw his broad shoulders
swinging across the desert. But I
returned to the task, saying those
words over and over hundreds and
thousands of times.
4 was unconscious, or unthinking,
at least, most of the time for the last
4s hours of the journey. North was
south, and east was west to me-and
yet l held to the course, as has been
proven, as straight as any mariner
ever sailed by compass and chart.
"After our water was gone, did
not find a drop or even a dew-moist-
ened leaf, until the morning Of the
day when the rescue party found me.
That morning stumbled upon rock
spring, where the sweetest, coolest
water a human being ever drank trick
led down over the rocks. l took off
my leather coat and made bowl of
it's back, catching the drops as they
fell. Lying on the sand, drank
just gorged myself. Oh, but it was
good! Of course, drank too much,
but who would not have done as I
did?"
Lieutenant Colonel Bishop was TAX
en- to Wellton, Ariz., the nearest rail-
road town, and placed on the train
for Yuma. He remembers little OF
that day, recalling only that somebody
was taking picture of the rescuers
putting him on the train, and then
came the long, sweet sleep in a bed
with snowy sheets-and a drink of
water every time he asked for it in
his delirium.
Bishops terrible experience has not
lessened his enthusiasm over avia-
ton.
Certainly not" he said, in answer
to a question. 81 think a man ought
to do the thing he likes best, and
love this work. l shall keep on fly
ing, under any conditions, as long as
| can. | shall try to put this expert
ence out of my memory; but, do you
know" he said, his keen eyes flash
ing with pride, 81 will always remem-
Der this: l was in the fair aeroplane
that crossed those mountains, even if
l didn't get to CaleXico?"

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
EXPERIENCED WHEN LOST
I'm BOUNDLESS SAND AREA
Aviator Will Not Give Up Profession Despite Narrowing
Flight Thought of Always Keeping to the North Saved
Robertson and Bshop-Desperate Thirst Caused Illness
of Bishop When He Found Spring; Drank to Exhaustion

"Keep going north; north, north
keep on going due north!"
Over and over, day and night, for
days and nights that seemed, while
hey knew how anything semeed, like
centuries, Lieutenant Colonel Harry
G. Bishop and Lieutenant w. A. Rob-
ertson, the lost army aviators, wan
dering across the Sonora desert, re-
peated the words to each other and
each to himself; said them abound, and
when their strength was almost gone,
whispered them hoarsely:
"No matter what happens, keep
doing due north-keep going north"
Bishop urged Robertson and Rob
ertson urged Bishop to follow a
straight course, due north, until the
words seemed to burn their brains,
and to stand continually before their
bloodshot eyes, like signboards on
a roadless route, as they were, in
truth. Had either forgotten the di-
rections or failed to keep plodding,
plodding through the soft sands and
over rough rocks, across burning
mesas and over rugged hills-forgot-
ten, for one moment, in all probability
rreither would be alive today.
The story of this part of their COM
pact, made when the aviators found
themselves alone in the desert, more
than 200 miles from any human hab-
itation, not previously told by either
of the two, was given in the hospital
at Yuma Sunday afternoon, by Lieu
tenant Colonel Bishop. He is still con-
fined to his bed in the hospital, and
will not be able to be moved for
week or more. Hospital physicians
and attendants fear that he cannot es-
cape an operation, and that he will
sustain the loss of two or three of the
toes of his left foot. For nine days
Bishop wore his heavy army shoes,
and, trudging, stumbling over the
rough ground and sand, brought such
injury to his feet that both were
black and swollen to the knees. I'M
paired circulation resulted in the con-
dition that threatens to make the op-
GRAFTON unavoidable.
Lieutenant Colonel Bishop told
again the story of his awful ordeal
Much of it has been printed-more
than the average person likes to read
or recall-and that made strong men
weep like children when they first
heard it from the lips of Lieutenant
Robertson. Omitting that, Bishops
story, told last Sunday, follows:
"When we landed, on the gulf, we
spent four hours or more putting
things in shape to leave the machine,
and deciding on what we could do to
best take care of ourselves. We knew
then where we were, and we knew, in
part, what was ahead of us. 1t was
nearly dark when we decided to be-
gin the long tramp.
"After our water gave out, and the
pangs of thirst and hunger beset us,
the awful conditions were more ap-
parent than when we first considered
them. Our feet began to swell, our
eyes blurred, and our tongues were
so parched we could hardly articulate
the words we tried to say-and they
were few, for we knew we had to con-
serve our strength.
"Then the knowledge, like a new in
