Plan Delegation
From Valley For
Highway Meet

On October 3, the meeting Of the
Borderland Highway Association
will be held in San Diego, TO organ
ize permanent committee and out
line plans for giving greater publ
city TO the Borderland route to Cal
ifornia, which embraces the Lee and
Bankhead highways and the Old
Spanish Trails. Representatives of
nearly every city between San Di-
ego and FL Paso will attend the
meeting and it is planned to pre-
pare for strong action against the
propaganda which is being circu-
lated along the line from New Or
leans west, urging tourists to travel
over the northern routes, and par
ticularly to take the Blythe Mecca
Ehrensburg route after leaving
Phoenix, Arizona.
At the meeting of the Associated
Chambers of Commerce in Holtville
Friday night, it was urged that the
organization as a whole make an eff
fort to attend the San Diego meet
ing. Members of the local Chamber
of Commerce plan to unite with del
egations from other valley cities
aud form caravan of automobiles
to make the trip to San Diego.
The letter which Secretary Coyle
received from Los Angeles last
week, proving that there is united
effort being made to discourage
travel over the Yuma-1mperial Val
ley route, has stirred the local mem
bers to action and they are deter
mined TO use every effort TO coun-
teract such propaganda.

in District of
New Courthouse

Progress is noted on the construe
tion of the new courthouse and con-
crete for the foundations will be
ready in a day or so. A large force
of men is at work under the super
vision of Jarbo and Murray, general
contractors, and the bitches for
foundation are rapidly assuming
the depth necessary before the CON
crete can be poured.
Concrete mixers, together with
huge piles of stone, sand and cement
have been placed in readiness and
once this work begins it will be
pushed rapidly. Today workmen
were busy overhauling the mixers,
putting the engines in shape for the
work they will be required to do.
Lumber for the concrete forms is
piled nearby and carpenters were
busy with hammer and saw getting
ready for business.

BACK FROM BOY
SCOUT MEETING; :
ALL ARE ELATED

Having returned yesterday from
Santa Barbara where he attended
the Third Annual Older Scout S con
ference Scout Executive S. L. Me-
Crory today expressed himself as
more than enthusiastic over the
splendid spirit shown by the lads
on this occasion.n s =
Leaving this city Thursday after
noon with Cleo Smith of Ell Centre,
Alvan Mann of Brawley and Vance
Lewis and Archie Anderson of
Calevico as representative of the
boy scouts of the valley, the party
made the trip to Santa Barbara in
good time. Through the generosity
of the FL Centre, Brawley and Cal
exico Rotary Clubs, who shared the
boys expenses, the local lads had
an opportunity of attending this
conference made up of over 200
scouts who represented practically
the entire state.
The general chairman who lead
in each of these discussions was {.
scout, and so great was the inter
est of the boys that Mr.. McCrory
stated rs many as Is or 20 were
often on their feet at once seeking
recognition from the chairman.
After Il short time, it was nee
essary to have each council eX-
press its views as the roll was
called so that each group might
be heard from.
The local boys took part in ev-
cry discussion, and acquitted them
selves with credit. The boys them
selves were loud in singing Ihe
praises Of the conference, from
which they say they derived, many
fine ideas.

STATE
CAPITAL

First Marylanders Held Sporting Men.
Declaring that the first settlers
of Maryland were not pilgrims fleeing
from persecution but first-class sport
ing men animated by high spirit OF
adventure and led by a man who
stood high in the favor Of the ruling
power in England, William L. Mar
bury delivered an address at the Mary
land Day exercises of the University
of Maryland, College Park. The char
ter of Maryland was the subject OF
Mr.. Marbury's speech.
There is no propriety whatever
in speaking of the first settlers of
Maryland-the men who, under the
leadership of Leonard Calvert, first
planted the standard Of complete civil
and religious liberty upon the shores
of Americans pilgrims" said Mr..
Marbury.
1T may be of. interest to US Mary
landers to be reminded Of the fact
that the great original charter OF
our liberties is the charter granted
to Cecilius Calvert, Baron of Balti-
more, and to the English colonists
settling in Maryland, by King Charles
1. of England.
ut is perhaps equally interesting
to note that this same King Charles
lost his throne and, in addition, lost
his head because Of the fact that he
attempted to take away from the
people eof England itself. this same
right of seh-government which he had
granted to the people Of Maryland.
1T seems to be questioned by a
good many people Of the present time
as being debatable question whether
or not this right Of self government,
this separate sovereignty of the peo-
pie of Maryland, is worth preserving
or whether 1t would be better to al
low all the function of the govern
ment to be absorbed into the central
authority at Washington.
There are some of us who seem
to see that that is the direction in
which we are drifting. am of those
who believe that unless that drift is
stopped 1t will end with the loss Of
everything our forefathers gained
for us in their long struggle for
civil liberty"

Prison Heads Discuss Transfers.

Warden Claude B. Sweeney of the
Penitentiary and House of Correction
had long conference with Welfare
Director Emory l.. Coblentz concern
ing administrative matters, among
them being the recent opinion of At
torney General Alexander Armstrong
to the effect that the authority Of the
Board Of Welfare to transfer prisoners
from the House of Correction to. the
Penitentiary was limited to those
prisoners who were committed to the
House of Correction by judges and
not by magistrates.
It was also held in the opinion that
no transfers at all could be made
even of prisoners committed by the
judges of the, Criminal and Circuit
courts-except for disciplinary pur-
poses. This last ruling will, it ap-
pears. prevent any wholesale trans
fer of convicts from one prison to an
other as was contemplated.
