HARRICAN SAYS
PLOT IS BEHIND
HIGHWAY ADVICE
Declares PrOpag a n d a
Must Be Result of De-
finite Policy

3. A. Harrigan, county horticul-
tural commissioner, who returned
yesterday from q trip to Yuma, was
exceedingly wrathy in his office
this morning in discussing the sit
uation which exists along the bor-
derland highways in Arizona, with
reference to adverse propaganda
being circulated about the Yuma
Imperial Valley highway. This pro-
paganda, which he believes is being
paid for in Los Angeles, seems to
center about llassayampa, and a
certain garage there is believed to
be the chief offender.
Commissioner IIarrigan obtained
his information by talking with
tourists who we're detained at the
quarantine station at Yuma while
he was there Cn an inspection tour.
Several of the tourists told him
that the highways as far east as Ell
Paso are plaearded, with warnings
to the tourist not to attempt the
trip from Yuma to Imperial Val
/ ley because of the impossible con-
dition of the road.
Other tourists, returning east
after visiting the coast, had receiv-
cd the same warning an Les angeles,
/ and one of them exhibited d map in
which the. route via Blythe and
/ Ehrensberg had been emphasized
with !. blue pencil and the tourist
urged to take that route. Harri-
| gan tried to get the map, but the
tourist said he still had use for it,
but would mai! it to FL Centre on his
return home.
Says Yuma Road Better
This same party also promised to
send the commissioner some of the
/ placards which are used on the
highway. He had made the west
bound trip via Blythe, and disre-
( carding the advice given him in
Los Angeles, made the eastbound
trip via Imperial, Valley and Yuma.
He said frankly that the latter route
is 10 per cent better tihn via
Blythe. 't
Hotels, garages, service stations
and in some cases public officials
all warn the tourist against the
Yuma route and sing the praises OF
the Blythe -Ehrensberg highway, ac-
cording to the travellers.
Earrigan gave a strong boost for
the Bor,serland Highways Associa-
ton, which he believes will do much
toward combating the pernicious
efforts of those who would prevent
the tourist from coming to Califor-
MIA via Yuma and the Imperial Val
ley

ENGLAND TO RESIST SEPARATIST
Chambers Talk
Advertising at
Imperial Meet

Advertising Imperial Valley
formed the principal topic Of
discussion at the meeting of the
Associated Chambers Of Com
merce in Imperial last night,
but discussing this important
subject was as far as the meet
ing went, no action being taken.
A representative from each
Chamber of Commerce present
at the meeting was allowed
three minutes in which to ex-
press the view of his chamber
on community advertising. The
result was a diversity of opin-
ion, which brought out some
unusually good points both for
and against advertising Imper-
ial Valley. Practically every
speaker agreed that the valley
needs advertising, but just what
kind of advertising is most de-
sirable and will assure the
greatest results was a point on
which they differed.
Charles E. Scott, speaking for
the Ell Centre Chamber of Com
merce, expressed the opinion that
advertising Imperial Valley in the
proper manner is something that
should be taken care of by the
board of supervisors. At least he
believed the money for this pur-
pose should be provided for in the
annual budget, and suggested a
vallev-wide committee to work with
the supervisors, or under their di-
rect supervision, in the proper
spending of an advertising fund.
This committee should have the
power to employ one man, who
should be directly responsible to
the committee for results obtained,
and the committee in turn should
t.be subject to the board of super
visors.
Y Hear Many Reports
Other speakers advocated various
ways of advertising the valley, from
endeavoring TO educate the people
against leaving the valley in the
SUMMER, to carrying on an inten.
sive campaign through Los Angeles
papers. In this latter connection,
the meeting was addressed by NJ
d.. Davis, representing a Los An
geles advertising agency, who adj
vocated consistent advertising with
an intensive follow-up campaign.
The meeting heard the reports Of
several committees including the
soil fertility which reported on the
successful meeting held in Imperial
last week. The committee appoint-
ed last month to confer with the
Santa Fe railroad with regard to,
its entry into the valley was con-
tinued .'untiI the Santa Fe gets
here' as President Cuff expressed
it.
Elmer Head reported on the
results obtained by the Ameri-
can Legion at the convention in
San Francisco, and expressed
his regret that Imperial Valley
had not taken advantage Of an
opportunity to advertise itself
to the rest of the world as
other California counties did
He told of the float which the
valley delegation had in the parade,
for which the Associated Chambers
had contributed, and stated he be-
lieves there will be refund made
the organization from money which
was not spent.
Tom Worthing reported on the
Borderland Highway Association
meeting in San Diego two weeks
ago, and urged the various cham-
bers to do their share in contribute
ing to the fund which this organic
alton intends raising to advertise
