AuTO VISITOR
FINDS BOOM
IN VALLEY

Everything points 10 1926 as being
= boom year for the Rio Grande Val
ley. states Claude Newton. of the San
Antonio Buick Company. who has
just returned from an extended tour
through that section. Hundreds of
people are going into the valley every
week, many of whom are buying
property for development.
When MIR. Newton arrived in the
valley last week. he found all the
hotels in the first town he visited
filled with tourists. He made long dis
lance telephone calls 10 several other
cities seeking room, but all the ho-
tells were filled. He finally had 10
share room with another tourist.
The valley is visited by many people
every day, says Mr., Newton. but never
before has there been such a boom as
the present one.
The Buick dealers of this district
are very GLtimistic over the outlook
for 1926, ne says, as most of them
arc enjoying very prosperous bust
ness.

winter travel in history.
This is the report of Will
liam H. Furlong, manager OF
the Highway Department of
the San Antonio Chamber of Com
merce, who after compiling extensive
data and making close observations
announces that San Antonio's tour
list travel this winter exceeds all prior
years. Usually the grand influx of
car tourists into San Antonio begins
after the holidays but this year it be-
gan In earnest shortly after Thanks
giving.
STARTS EARLY.
: Getting away to a good start, auto
travel from the North is setting a
new high record and best of all is
bringing the better class Of tourists.
They are coming daily from East,
West and North and every highway
leading to San Antonio is crowded
with foreign cars. Close observers
have counted cars with number plates
representing every state. During the
last three weeks, especially, San
Antonio has enjoyed being host to an
unusually large number Of foreign
automobile tourists and cafes, garages,
hotels and apartments report grow
ing demands for their services. Never
before in the history of San Antonio
have SO many winter tourists flocked
in, report enthusiastic garage men.
who have had their business increased
by the great motor travel.
II believe that this record travel
will continue to increase" said Mr..
Furlong, because every indication
points toward San Antonio's increased
popularity as a winter playground and
tourist center.
GOOD ROADS HELP.
Road improvements are doing as
much as any other one thing to bring
winter tourists here and great road
building campaigns have been launch
ed for 1926 throughout the country
as a result Of the autoists' demand.
We are getting a better class of au-
tomobile tourists this year than ever
before and it is plainly evident that
our national advertising has brought
big returns"
Mr.. Furlong states that this great
gain in tourist trade is favorably af-
fecting San Antonio business and one
indication Of this is the ease in
which he raised $1,000 cash from
local business interests in ten work
ing hours for the Texas Open, and the
great winter polo meet.
Another big feature Of motor car
travel this year is that San Antonio
is getting more tourists than ever
before from the West.
Californians especially are taking
the opportunity to visit Texas dur
ing its mild sunny winter season.
with the exception of two cold spells
we have had remarkably good wealth
er this winter in San Antonio" Mr..
Furlong says, "and tourists in great
droves are enjoying our sunshine and
Fairgrounds.
And others besides the highway
department testify to the gain in
visitors. Among those who are in
the best position to determine the in
crease are Mexican restaurants.

Censss Not Popular
Among Many Peoples

Superstition among natives IN the
Kenya colony, in Africa, has caused
census takers no end Of trouble. The
natives believe it is unlucky to count
themselves or their wives when the
official enumeration is taken.
In other countries census taking mas
sometimes presented similar difficult
ties, says Tit-Bits The first Chinese
census showed a total population Of
2S,OOOOO0. 1t was taken to serve as
a basis for the imposition of a poll tax.
Several years later another census was
taken to organize relief during a fam
inc. The population had grown to
100000,
Infinite trouble is taken in the prep
aration of the Indian census, out one
story told by a British adIninistrator
shows there also the way of the cen
sus taker is difficult. On one occasion
he had to point out TO q native emu
merator some discrepancy in his fig
ures, "But surely" " protested the emu
merator, your honor can supply
naughts At discretion?"

PROPOSED TARIFF ON COPPER

A majority of the Arizona news
papers, especially those published in
the mining districts of the state, ia
vor the passage of the bill introduced
in the senate providing for tariff
on copper and copper ores offered for
importation into the United States.
The Arizona Daily Star of Tucson
thinks the bill introduced by the Re-
publican Senator from Arizona is d
piece of political buncombe launched
in an election year to ingratiate the
senator with the mining companies
The Star takes the position that as
the United States produces fifty-five
per cent of the total copper produced
in the world and consequently is an
exporter of the brown metal, that d
tariff will fail of it's purpose It ap-
pears to us, however, that tariff of
six cents per pound on foreign cop
per would enable the American cop
per producer to increase the price Of
the raw material to the American fab
ricator, who of course would pass the
increased price along to the consur,:
er.
Copper production is the chief IL
dustry of Arizona and so long as the
policy of the government is to pro-
tect every leading industry of the
country Except agricultural by a
high protective tariff, the average
American feels that the copper in
dustry had as well get theirs now,
while the getting is good. Prosperity
for the copper producers means pros
perity for the inhabitants of the min
ing districts as whole and in turn
is reflected all over the state. A
higher price for copper means higher
wages for the miner, the millman and
the mechanic. Prosperity for the
mining districts means better mar
kets for the agricultural districts.
Provided tariff on copper will ac-
complish the desired end, we Arizon-
ans can well afford to pay a little
more for our copper kettles.
A tariff on copper, sufficient to
overcome the difference between the
American standard of wages as
against the gee string" produced
copper, as the Miami Silver Belt
calls it, will harmonic with the more
recent declarations Of the Democratic
party on the question-The Copper
Era.

Historic Loy4do7 Church

The Church of St Michael, one of
Wren's churches, which has just been
reopened after extensive renovations,
is one of the most historic churches in
London. 1t is built on the site of that
erected by Dick Wilmington, and in
which he was buried, but the original
was so entirely wiped out in the great
fire that no trace of Sir Richard Whit
tlngton's grave now remains. The
renovation scheme included the paint
ing OF the walls and ceiling, and the
moving of the heavy altar railing for
ward to form a choir screen. The rep
