construction work in the permanent
American cemeteries, has just fin
ished an inspection of the Ameri-
can cemeteries, reports that all con
tracts for necessary buildings have
been let and progress of the work
thus far shows that the results will
be satisfactory.
"At Surenes, on the outskirts of

Government has been especially lib
eral by placing at the disposal of
the cemetery authorities the entire
wooded slope leading up to the
French post, Mont VaIerien. Suren-
nes is designed to be the gem

cause of the large number of Am

GREAT INFLUX
TOURISTS WILL
COME TO CAL

That California will see the great
est influx of tourists in all its
history during the coming winter
is the opinion of +. b. Dorsey, traf-
fic manager Of the San Diego and
Arizona Railway, who passed
through FL Centro this morning on
his return from a convention OF
railroad passenger traffic agents
held in Chicago. He also expressed
the opinion that large percentage
cf the tourists will remain in Cali
fornia, but would not make any
estimate as to what the percentage
might be.
AS proof that Imperial Valley and
Southern California is getting its
share of This tourist movement, Mr..
Dorsey stated that the train on
which he was travelling carried an
extra Pullman coach from Chicago
to San Diego to take care of the
overflow passengers. This is the
first time in over two years that 1T
has been necessary to provide an
addltlonal cOach.
To Charles i. Matlin, travelling
agent for the San Diego and Arizo-
ma Railway, Mr.. Dorsey stated that
the success of the daily Sunset
Limited service from San Diego
through the valley to INLAND, con-
Meeting there with the Southern
Pacific main line, is positively as
sured and that there is no possibili-
ty of the service being reduced at
this time. The increase i'll this SER
vice from tri.weekly to daily has
been Il source of qualification to
the railroad, he said, as it means
that consistent advertising of San
Diego and Imperial Valley is hav-
inc Il wholesome effect.
