Much publicity serving to estab-
lish Imperial Valley as livestock
country in the minds of newspaper
readers of the Southwest was dis
tributed during the Livestock Fair
period.
The fair gave the County Farm Bu-
reau an opportunity to send out
many articles setting forth that I'M
perial is the chief livestock county
of California, that it's butter produc-
ton is the second in the state, that
the largest testing association for the
scientific determination of butterfat
yields of individual cows is located
here and that there is progressive
movement under way for the importa-
ton of pure bred stock.

SECURE C[FWS
TO MEXICAN
H0[DUPS
Discovered Rifle and Re-
volver Were Secured
by False Orders.

The sheriff's office is in receipt of
information of an arrest made on the
Mexican side of the border last night,
| by Mexican police authorities, of a
man who may prove to be one of the
quartette that recently robbed three
Chinese camps and secured nearly $2,-
900 in two raids. Of this sum, $500
was obtained at the Martinez ranch,
from one of the proprietors, who was
forced to submit to search of his
home.
The clue came when the Imperial
Valley Hardware Company of Calex-
leo discovered that it had given
stranger Winchester rifle and cost
ly revolver, on what purported to be
orders from the Imperial Development
Company. The first of the orders,
for the rifle, bore the signature of
Thomas DAILY, general manager for
the Imperial Development Company,
and the second, presented day later,
for the revolver, was signed with the
name of Foreman Ramsey. The weap-
ons were delivered without any sus-
picions having been aroused, and Gull
lermo Hernandez, who presented the
orders. disappeared. He was later ar
rested, and is being held for further
investigation.
Tracing the guns across the line,
the officers discovered that they had
been given over to another man, and
he was discovered to have gone sew
eral miles south of Mexicali.. His ar
rest, it is believed, will lead to i'm
portant disclosures. The officers say
they have his record, and that it is
bad one.

After being out slightly over one
half hour, the jury in the case of the
People VS.. Joe Gasser, charged with
a serious offense against 7-year-old
child, returned a verdict of guilty.
Sentence is to be pronounced Friday
morning. Conviction of a crime of
this nature carries an extremely heavy
penalty.
The case occupied the attention of
Judge Coles court practically two
days. The defendant was represented
by Attorney Joseph F. Seymour, Jr.,
while District Attorney Galen Mich

CENTER FOR
TOURISTS
Scores of Touring Parties
Making Trip Through
the Valley.

Roperts from the Barbara Worth
and Oregon hotels state that dozens
of motoring parties are now in the
Valley and that more are coming each
day.
Those interested in the matter as
sert that the visitors are anxious to
motor to the Valley and that since
the State Highway has been complet-
ed there is vast increase in the num-
ber arriving. kS
The ride from San Diego to Ell Cen
tro is really delightful and crossing
the mountains gives an opportunity to
view some beautiful scenery. Not
alone does the motorist desire good
roads. He wants something to see
after the journey is completed.
Imperial Valley is full of sights
that have grown common to those who
reside here. Even a reclaimed desert,
rich in the romantic history Of novel
lists, would naturally be an induce
ment to come here.
The tourists as a rule make their
headquarters in Ell Centre, where the
very best of hotel accommodations
are to be found. From this point
they radiate to all sections of the Val
ley.
