BORDER TRAFFIC
MAY STOP 5P. M.
BY Special Staff Correspondent

CALENICO, Oct. 1.-THE 1S.hour
open border line for vehicle traffic IS
in danger of being reduced to the
official l-hour period which is from
6 a. III. to p. IN.
Secretary Hubbell of the Chamber of
Commers states that the overtime pay
fund for border employees, of $500 per
month to which business men on both
sides of the> line agreed to contribute,
is not being paid, and that unless the
money comes in at once, the vehicle
traffic at night viii be stopped.
Mr.. Hubbel says that the chamber
is not in n position to carry the finan-
cial burden involved In keeping the
line open after regular hours.
In the meantime, the matter has been
taken up with the officials nj Wash
ington, asking that the burden of e~'
pensc in keeping the line open hS as.
sumed by the government. taleNico
is the most important export stat .oh
on the western half of the border and
figures show that the exports and I'M
ports are from three 10 four times as
great as the combined receipts Of San
Diego and Tijuana. This argument is
advanced rs being sufficiently perth
nent to Justify the government IN
granting this convenience.

VALLEY MOVIES
GREAT SUCCESS
RIVERSIDE FAIR
Better Advertisement OF

':Imperial Valley S development PIE
lures went over big at the 'hverside
Fair, said o. j. Renfrew, county de-
vclopment agent this morning. Secre
tary Coylc, FL Centre Chamber Of Com
merce, and myself were kept busy eaeh
day of the fair, not only exhibiting the
pictures. but distributing literature on
the valley and answering questions.
We had big signs on display all over
the grounds, telling the people about
the pictures and they floekcd 20 see
them mt every performance.
~ believe between 5000 and lo,ooo
people must have seen the shows, every
one was really interested in them. Many
people ON leaving the tent in which the
pictures were shown, would inquire
when the next performance would be
and would return with friend whoin
they were anxious Ia have see the
pictures.
More Beneficial
81 believe the pictures were more
beneficial to the valley than an agri-
cultural display would have been. Ii
we had the latter, we would have been
in competition with all the other coun
lltS VI fNOulHtTIl but VIZ l'N
lures We're an absolute novelty and
attracted the people because of this
fact. After seeing the picture, the peo-
Pile would invariably ask for literature
on the valley, and in many cases
would ask for a phamphlet for friend
whom they believed would be interest
ed in reading it.
"The fair as whole was great
success, and | hope it will not be long
before Imperial Valley will have good
county fair, worthy to compete with the
Southern California fair. fair places
the entire county before the people and
gives them Il better idea of what Is
being done and what is proposed for
the future, than any number of books
or pamphlets would do.
POSSIBLY it was because VIC arc
nearest to Riverside County that so
many people were interested in MS, but
| believe it would have been just the
same if we. were widely separated as
Imperial County is acquiring n splendid
reputation all over the state.
Coyle Enthusiastic
Secretary Coyle was equally as en-
thusiastic about i!Ie results achieved
at the fair as Mr.. Renfrew. lie re
gretted that more people from FL Cen
tro had not been able 10 attend the
fair as it would have given them Il
good opportunity to find out what peo
pie think about lis and when they
learned that outsiders have a favorable
opinion, it would encourage them to
greater efforts.
Not only did we have numberless
requests for our pamphlets, sand Mr..
Coyle, "but have Il list of people who
asked for special information which
will necessitatc investigation and a let
ter to them. The questions asked us
were so intelligent that l know a great
many people bec;lme really interested
in the opportunities here and then we
will derive considerable benefit III the
future from the inquiries made at the
fair -

The matter of the auto show, how
ever. will be definitely settled iris al

II is expected that the Imperial Val

SMUGGLING CAR
FOUND WITH As
GALLONS OF RUM
Customs Officers Trap Car
with Carefully Made
Booze Tank
By Special Staff Correspondent

CAIEXICO. Oct. Illusions In
speetor Tom Wallace and G. c. Kemp
were strictly on the job Saturday
evening, and as q result of their vigi-
lance. captured Francisco r. Aleantar,
driving p Cadillac roadster. with a
load of ~ gallons of whiskey, just east
of Calexico.
Inspectors Wallace and Kemp, while
out on the border road, noticed the ear
coming along the road, and stopped it
for inspection. Searching the car,
which looked all right, they were i'm,
pressed by the fact that the body of
the rear of the car was unusual in
some ways. to such an extent, at least,
that they made minute search of the
vehicle. Immediately at til back of the
seat they found a compartment such
as a great many cars have, in which
tools or personal belongings are stor-
ed, with hinged top. Raising this
top, they found in corner at one
end of this compartment tap, leading
TO n tank. which, on being opened,
permitted the fumes of the whiskey tc
escape, and the sensd of smell of the
officers did the rest.
