Jacumba Hot Springs, Imperial
Valley S favoritc summer play
ground, is rapidly becoming reg
ular city, and bids fair to rival
even some of the valley cities in
point Of size, according to those
who have been up there within the
past few weeks.
OF the many improvements await
ing the summer colony, none is like
ly to prove more satisfactory than
the telephone exchange, which will
afford direct communication be
tween the valley and Jacumba.
Hcret etofore, there has been only one
telephone at the mountain resort.
The telephone company is now put
ting in Il new line and is accept
ing subscriptions for telephone
service.
The exchange viii be opened
June /, and those desiring to have
telephones installed i'll their homes
are requested to make reservation
at the local telephone headquarters
as carly as possible i'll order that
all telephones may be in when the
season starts. At present rs sub
scribers have already been listed.
The charge for telephone service is
Il nominal one, and according to
Manager w. Y. Christian, the eX-
change is expected to prove Il great
convenience to those who visit the
resort.
Many improvements are being
made i'll the townsite by Bert
Vaughn, proprietor, chief Of which
is the splendid new hotel which is
almost completed at the present
time. This will provide ample ac-
comodatiOns for visitors to the re-
sort and will prevent the over
crowding which has been necessary
III past years, due to the populari-
ty of this place.
A new reservoir with 4 capacity
of 100000 gallons of water is be-
ing completed, and the concrete la
goon is ready for cement at the
present time. The lake is expected
to be ready for the summer sea-
son.
The real season at Jacumba will
start on April Is when the moving
picture house opens. The apart
ment house has been filled all win
ter, and every indication points to
n rousing summer season at ia
cumba.

County Has More Boy -. s..
Scouts Than Riverside County


Al the executive board meeting
of Imperial County Council of Boy
Scouts held recently, the fact that
! Imperial County ranks high in eff
, cheney, numerically and in many
/ other ways, was very strongly
brought out by the February re-
pert from regional district No. II,
showing the work being done in
California, Arizona, Nevada and
/ Utah. The report showed that in
Riverside County with its numcr
oas towns of several thousand po-
nuiation, there are only $50 scouts.
san Diego County which embodies
San Diego city with a population of
more than all the towns of Imperial
Valley, has only 901 scouts and San
Bernardino County has only 3S4
scouts, while Imperial County re-
ports ut the first of March show
t&6 scouts.
Tho report also shows the fact
that our scouts and troops stand in
class "A' in every point except
oue while many counties rank class
- = in many points.
In some troops in other counties
there are no scoutmasters whatso-
ever, while Imperial County boasts
%, and very efficient ones at that,
:. L. McCrorv stated this morning.
The fact that the numbers are
gradually increasing is very pro-
missing sign, Mr.. McCrory stated
this morning Next month the coun-
~ viii be able to report new
troop which is being started this
week.

The camp is expected to be held for
period of six weeks, beginning
Jane %. The camp has been plan
ned somewhat later this wear in or
der that the older hovs may work

ed in the county, with = view Of
