TELEPHO NE CO.
SPENDING MUCH
MONEY In VALLEY

The Pacific Telephone Company,
through their local office in FL Cen
tro, bears out the statement that
Imperial Valley is growing, in their
report of development work in pro-
gress. Construction work totaling
over so thounsand dollars, for cable
alone, is well under way. The rapid
growth of FL Centre and Caiexico,
together with the increased number
of shippers and packers, has neces-
STATED the construction of addition
al facilities to take care of the IN
creased demands for service. The
of FL Centre has large part il
the program. The work is progress
ing rapidly, on account of the urgent
demands for service.
In FL Centre alone, tho building
estimate calls for the placing Of APP
proximatcly $50 feet of 600 pair,
1000 feet of 400 pair, and 500 feet
of 200 pair of underground cable.
This work nccesSitatcd the placing
of additional underground duets on
some of the streets IN FL Centre,
which was completed during Deccm-
Der, 1923. To provide for growth and
expansion, additional aerial cable
will be placed on many downtown
streets. The amount of aerial cable
used will total about four miles.
Improve Long Distance
The reconstruction program calls
for rebuilding three miles of the
Holtvillc-El Centre lead by placing
NEW 80 foot poles and new copper
circuits; rebuilding the San Diego
I'll Centre toll lead between FL Cen
tro and Dixielaud; also the Calexico'
FL Centre, and Hcber-El Centre
leads. This will improve long dis
tancc service over the entire valley.
Considerable new construction
work is to be done III Calexico, along
the same lines as is now in progress
in I'll Centre, that of providing addi-
tional cable facilities to relieve the
congcsted districts, and to provide
for growth.

Woman Explorer Says Sheiks
Are Mostly Dirty, Men Eat too
Much; Will Give n. Y. Lectures

ble-a real sheik is for the most
part mostly dirt, Miss Forbes says
this extraordinary young lady
who has a speaking acquaintance
with most of Europe S famous men,
consented to tell whom she con
siders the six greatest men of her
experience; she did so with a
choice or personal epigram about
! each ar.
"My heroes'
General Lyautey, first; the man
who did more for Morocco than
anyone. When he fell ill and Eu-
rope physicians said he could not
q recover, the Moslems asked if they
might pray for him. Something
that had never beer done for an
infidel in history. They did and
, he was cured. And the first thing
he did was to so to Catholic
church. -
"Gabricllc 'Annunzio. Once at
| a dinner in Paris he talked to me
steadily for an hour and quar-
! ter. Then said: Madam, YOU must
pardon me. | owe myself to the
other ladies'
| The Six Wonders
Emir Idrissy, lonely Prince of
/ Sabya, veiled prophet whom none
might look upon. lie talked to me
! for six hours. L never saw him, but
, he was the wiscst of men.
"King Fcisal. He told me of his
hopes for Arabia-and, twhat do
you thing of European statesmen
q asked. Like futurist paintings
he replied Immediately. They are
better at a distance.
"Robcrt Horne, an English con
: vcrsativc. lie told me why he had
never married. Il talk so loudly,
he explained, 4 never have been
able to find place sufficiently
private in which to propose"
Miss Forbes uncurled from
among the cushions of her divan
and named the sixth wonder of the
masculine world, her husband.
He is Arthur McGrath, of the
British war office.

of it.

SLOGAN OF ASSN.
LEE HIGHWAY IS
FINISH THE JOB
Free Map Advertises
County, Convention
Is Called

Let's finish the iob.'' This is
the slogan adopted by the Lee High
way Association, and used by It's
members to bring to the people of
the country, the Importance of fin
lshIng con ,lruction of the highway
which transvcrses the country from
New York CITY to San Francisco,
California.
The Lee Highway is 1880 miles
long, crossing IA states and the Dis
trict of Columbia, as well as 115
counties and passing through 81
county seats. The association which
Is interested in finishing the high
way, has advocated that the federal
government build and maintain air
ports along the highway, every 25
miles.
BY building less than 400 miles of
highway, the Lee route will be a
modern motor way from New York
to San Fancisco. The value of sucll
a road to each community adjacent
to it, and for the country as Il
whole, IS recognized by such author
tiles as the late President Harding
and President Coolidge.
In order to launch nation wide
campaign for action that will result
in the early completion of the high
way, the Lee Highway Association
has called Il convention of the dlrec-
tors and members of the association
which will be held in Washington,
d. c., February and 6. 1t is hoped
to have representative from each
of the 1l5 counties crossed by the
highway, present at this conven-
ton.
Ell Centre on Map
Ell Centro, being on the Lee High
way route, is particularly interested
in the early completion of the high
way, and it is hoped that arrange
ments can be made to send repre-.
sentative to Washington or at least
have some Imperial county resident
now at the national capital, attend
a session of the convention.
The map which is being distribut-
ed throughout the country by the
Lee Highway Association, shows FL
Centre as one of the towns through
which the highway passes. 1t lists
local hotels and garages and gives
desirable publicity to this city.
San Diego is the western terminus
of the highway, the western zero
milestone having been dedicated in
that city November II, last, with ap-
propriate exercises which were at
tended by many Ell Centro people.
