Campers Bring
Many Thousands
OF Dollars Here

With a showing thta during the
past five months tourists have
camped at the automobile park es-
tablished by the Commercial CLUB
have spent, at least $4,000 in the
city and that 35 families have pur-
chased homes in Salem and close
to the city, the business interests
and especially automobile men
have the feeling that the automo-
bile camp has been one of the best
investments ever made by the
Commercial club.
The camp was officially opened
for tourists May II when all the
buildings were completed and the
water and light connections made.
On the first day following the op-
ening Is auto parties ava,eo
| themselves of the privileges of the
camp and for the five months fol-
lowing the total number of autos
registered was 2,615. AS there was
in each party from four to six per
sons it is estimated that during the
five months ending October 49,.
more than $4,000 were registered
at the camp. 1t is also estimated
that ont one tenth of this number
would have stopped in the city if
there had been no automobile camp
| close to the business section of the
| city.
During the month of August
more than 1000 camped in the park
as 837 cars were registered that
month, many of them carrying six
| persons who had come to this part
of the valley to assist in beri, and
fruit picking.
| So far this month, ending with
last night, 212 cars have registered
at the camp. a majority of which
include families looking for homes
in the west. During September 612
cars were registered. The average
for the five months is 523 cars a
month. AS many parties remained
in the camp several dogs before
finding home here, the average
number of families per day in the
camp exceeds twenty-five. And all
of these families were buying sup
plies in Salem and many repairing
cars, buying tires and accessories.
Thirty-five families have bought
homes in Salem and vicinity and
almost all were first attracted to
this section by the beauties of the
auto camp where they camped
while looking the country over. In
general, the campers were home
seekers.
During the five months the auto
camp has been established, campers
have not only put about $4,000 in
to circulation in Salem, but it i:
estimated that city homes and frui
tracts have been purchased at
total valuation of more than S125,.
600. This is regarded as conser
vatiye estimate.

Villa Put Jinx
On Banditry, Is
Mexican Report

Mexico City, Mexico, Oct. 49,
The few rebel leaders remaining in
the field are having a hard time,
due to the activity of the Mexican
army in hunting them down and
the WEAKNESS of the Mexican peo-
pie of2revolutions.
1t is now reported that General
Manuel Pineda, who has been at
the head of a revolutionary force
in Chipas for some time, wants to
come to terms with the new govern
ment. 1t is reported that his force,
dwindling and that he is in danger
of being left to fight the revolution
alone.
Pedro Zamora who was in revolt
in Jalison is said to be a fugitive
in the mountains, with only few
soldiers, his forces having been de-
feated and scattered by the troops
sent in pursuit of him.
When Zamora took the field, he
kidnapped Charles Hoyle and w. A
\ ;ardiner. two Americans, and b.
IL. johnson, an Englishman, expect
ing to fill his war chest by collect
ing ransom for the liberation OF
his captives. Hoyle was released to
go after the ransom, which Zamora
fixed at 1O0,OO pesos. or $4,000 and
was at Guadalajara when Mexican
troops recently scattered Zamora' s
band.
Reports received here state
that Gardiner and Johnson escaped
when Zamora was driven into the
mountains and are safe, but 1t Is
not known where they are at
present. Whatever their fate, II
, is believed improbable that Ia
mora would burden himself with
the two prisoners in his flight.
General Rodolfo Herrero is said
to be making no headway with his
revolution in Hidalgo. Reports
from that state are that his force
is too small for him to venture
forth from the desert in which he
/ is encamped.

private citizen of nation which is
not a member of the league with
request that the United States lead
the way to world fraternity.
Declaring that the state depart
