State Moves to
Prevent Fires
Nv United Press leased Wire

SEATTLE, WASH, July 15.-More
stringent regulations to prevent
fires were being put into effect in
""tional forests in Washington to-
day.
# was announced that all but
designated camping places and
roads and trails in the Mount Baker
national forest would be closed to
visitors.
Similar regulations were expected
to be made in other forests.
Cloudy weather in western Wash
ington, which the weather bureau
said would probably last until to-
morrow, was the source of some
slight relief to the fire peril. In
central and eastern Washington the
wcather remained clear and warm
while the humidity throughout the
state was somewhat below normal.
New fires were reported from the
Snokanc area, principally in the
KaniSku forest. In Glacier ma
tional park $500 acre fire was re-
ported in the Flathead river.

l.. A. Interest In
Valley Is High

Interest in Imperial Valley land
is very high in Los Angeles at the
present time, according to Il state
mcnt made by \. +. Bourden of the
local real estate firm, Macarthur &
Bourdcn.
Boudren returned this week from a
short visit to the coast citv. where
he was told that there were a large
number of INQUIRIES made daily to
the chamber of commerce about val
Law land and conditions. MANY real
estate exchanges are offered in Los
Angeles real estate circles for val
ley property and farm land, he
states. 1t is thought that the de-
mand is increasing because of the
belief that the Boulder dam bill will
be passed and many want to acquire
property at this time to benefit by
the present prices, which are nomi-
nal.
Inquiry has been made by the Los
Angeles chamber of commerce as to
the advisibilitv of the Associated
Chambers of Commerce of the val
ley appointing a representative to
reside in Los Angees. This would
enable people interested in Imperial
Valley to get accurate information
and would be a material help to the
valley.
J. S. Carmichael, secretary of the
that he believes we formerly had II
representative in that city, and the
advisibility of appointing another
had often been discussed. He said,
however, that no definite action
would be taken before the next meet
ing of the associated chambers,
which is scheduled for the latter part
of September.

Man Sought By Many
California Cities Must
Leave Here.
CASE is UNIQUE
Dozen Counties Try to
Get Possession of Cele-
brated Gibson.

Sheriff Gillett and District Attor-
ney Utlev are due to make another
trip to Los Angeles, in connection
with the Donald Francis Gibson
case, the sheriff having been serv-
ed with writ of habeas corpus,
issued by the appellate court and
ordering him to produce the body of
Gibson before the court.
Gibson is wanted in many Califor-
MIA cities, includinS FL Centre, for
passing bad checks. He was ar
rested several weeks ago in San
Francisco, and though at least
dozen counties put in a claim for
him. District Attrncy Utley succeed
ed in getting him.
Last week Gillett and Utley were
served with a habeas corpus writ
issued by the Los Angeles superior
court, ordering the sheriff to pro-
duce Gibson in that court. Being
advised by Utley that the Los An
geles court was without authority
in the matter, Gillett refused to
take his prisoner to Los Angeles,
though he and the district attorney
went there, The Los Angeles Judge
declared thev were within their
rights in refusing to take Gibson
with them thereby upholding the
district attorneys contention.
The appellate court has jurisdic.
tion, however, and Gibson will ac-
company the two local officials
when they leave tomorrow His at
tornevs contend that he is an es-
caped prisoner from Patton and
therefore cannot he tried for y
crime committed while he is ut least
