GOODWILL TRIP
MEETS APPROVAL
OF BUSINESSMEN
Arizona Chambers Assure
w arm Welcome to
Valley Visitors.

Telegrams received this morning
by President McEuen, of the f!
Centre chamber of commerce, from
the chambers at Yuma and Tucson,
advise that these organizations are
getting ready to "whdop things
up for the local businessmen who
make the goodwill trip to Arizona
from the city on February 13.
From Tucson, President II. A. De-
ford of the chamber of commerce
telegraphed: "Tucson chamber of
commerce cordially invites your
goodwill tour to visit in Tucson,
February IS. We will arrange en-
iovable day with side trips to points
of intcrest.o
The Yuma chamber of commerce
telegram stated: "Yuma cordially
invites you to stop and enjoy tour
throughout our community. We will
appreciate answer giving the full
details and number On trip.'
Following the announcement of
final plans for the trip in yester-
days Press, the goodwill tour has
excited considerable interest among
businessmen in this city and it is
expected that there will be little
difficulty in obtaining the 100 per-
sons required for the minimum to
make the trip.
j. w. Glasgow, of Sones Lumber
company said today that the trip
will be the best advertising FL Cen
tro and Imperial Valley has receiv.
ed in long time.
'The trip will give us splendid
opportunity to develop strong social
and commercial relations with the
people of southern Arizona" he
declared. "Their problems are
pretty much the same as ours and
we have many things in common.
With the completion of the new
highway between FL Centre and
Yuma, the two sections are brought
into closer relationship and it IS
time we took steps to become better
acquainted with our neighbors in
the east.
"Only a short time and small
financial outlay, is required for the
trip and there are few businessmen
who cannot afford to make it. To
my mind there are few OF us who
can afford to miss it."
Reservations for the trip can be
made now at the chamber Of com
ceree office and they will be hand
led on the basis of first come,
first served.'

Farmland Said
To Be Deranged

Stanley Lempictka, 80, farm
hand was locked up in the county
Jail last night pending an examina-
ton. He will probably be taken be-
fore Judge j. S. Larew soon for
sanity hearing as it is believed
that he is mentally unbalanced.
Lempictka disappeared about six
months ago from the Ehmke ranch,
west of FL Centre, and for three
days police conducted search,
dragging canals and patroling
swamps in the belief that he had
met death. But Lcmpictka turned
up again. He was in poor phys
ical condition and inclined to be
hysterical. He had thought he was
being chased by someone and had
been running and walking about
during all the time he was gone.
The man was taken to the county
hospital but after being there for a
month he was released, apparently
cured. He went to work then for
former employer named Mersereau
who conducts ranch adjoining that
Of Ehmke.
A few nights ago Lempictka
again showed signs of being mental
ly deranged and he was removed to
the county farm. He ran away yes
terday and last night he was found
back at the Mersereau ranch. An
effort will be made to have the
man placed in an institution until
his ailment is cured.

By United Press Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 4. - Rain
storms centering over the northern
regions of the Pacific coast swept
southwark late last night, and today
this city and vicinity was engulfed
in heavy downpour, that will prob
ably not end before tonight, ac-
cording to the official forecast.

throughout the day was looked upon
as a boon by Southern California
growers. The precipitation register
ed an inch and half at an early
hour and was expected to pass the
two inch mark before the storm
passed.
Traffic was somewhat disrupted
by the downpour here and streets in
the downtown district of the city
were running water from cub to
curb.
The forecast predicts that the
rain will probably lift tonight with
partly cloudy weather and a rise
in temperature tomorrow.
Rainfall figures at a. m. showed
the following precipitation: Los An
geles, .06; Santa Barbara, 80; Pas
adena, Is; Los Angeles harbor, IS;
Mt. Wilson, .16; Newport Harbor,

Two Men Arrested
On Theft Charge

Possibility of solving some of the
thefts which have been committed
in and about Ell Centre is seen in
the arrest of Allen Walton, a
Negro boy, and a confession, alleg-
cd to have been made by F. NJ.
Catching, held at the county Jail
on narcotic charge.
Catching was arrested Monday
by federal agent on charge of
illegal possession of drugs and was
locked up. A man, who had been
deprived of suit of clothes while
he stepped away from home for a
few minutes, hearing of Catching's 3
arrest told the authorities that he
had become suspicious of Catching,
who was roomer in the same
house.
Questioned, Catching is said to
have admitted the theft of some
clothing in FL Centre. He told the
authorities that he had sold the
clothing in Heber. Deputy Sheriff
McClelland with Assistant Chief of
Police Cornelison and Patrolman
McCaslin went to Heber to investi-
gate.
Arriving there, they went to the
address given by Catching. The
suit which Catching admitted steal
ing was found and Walton was
brought back to the city when he
was seen by one of the Officers to
hurry into a chicken coop at the
rear of the house and investigation
showed another suit of clothes. This
suit was also brought back" and was
identified by its owner. 1t had
been stolen here the night before.
Walton was not a new find to
the local police. He just recently
finished ten-day term on the city
chain gang. He was arrested by
the assistant chief on charge Of
vagrancy early this month when
found wandering about at night.
Asked whether he wanted to get out
of town or go to jail he answered
that he "might just as we'll go to
jail here as he'd only get picked
up in the next town.
A further investigation is being
made by the police in an effort to
determine whether the two men are
mixed up in any further thefts
which have occurred in this vicinity

Valencia Held
For Investigation

Luiz Valencia, SO, Mexican

noon by Deputy Sheriff Pat Thaa-
mum. An investigation into the
reason for Valencia s hurry to get
out of the vicinity, after he had
been questioned regarding the dis
appearance Of two rail workers
checks, will be made.
Two trainmen reported to the
sheriff's office Monday that they

tigation showed that both checks

Ella, who was an assistant foreman
on the job with the losers Of the
checks, and another man who was
under suspicion. A checkup show
ed that the handwriting Of Nalen-
Ella corresponded somewhat with
that Of the forged signatures but
the notes and samples were sent to
a handwriting expert in Los Ange'
les for report.
No definite evidence has been
found against Valencia but when he
suddenly quit his job and asked for
transportation to go to Los Ange-
les, the suspicious Of the authorities
were aroused, and he was locked up
pending n thorough examination.
Valencia will be taken before the
clerks at the store where the checks
were cashcd in an effort to deter
mine whether or not he had any
thing to do with the ease.
