/ The Chamber of Commerce
feels that an opportunity is here
afforded Nogales business peo
pie to make q good will visit to
the busy mining camp of Can
anes. Nogales has enjoyed con
siderable trade from Cananea
and the day could be spent most
profitably, and it is recommend
ed that as many as possible on
both sides of the line accept the
invitation to go on the excursion.
No particular provision for en-
tertainment will be made at Ca

The Immigration Committee of
the Nogales Chamber of Com
merce, consisting of j. 81. Ka
ram, chairman; DR.. A. L.. Gus
letter, Phil Capin, Henry Vein
berg. Leslie G. Hardy. Judge
F. j. Duffy and b. K. Cumming,
has been working for some time
to remedy the unsatisfactory
immigration situation at this
port. District Immigration In
spector Wilmoth, of El Paso,
conferred with the committee on
Friday, May 18th, two sessions
being held. It isS the unanimous
opinion of the committee that
those things done by the immi.
grafton inspectors in the past
few months that Eave caused
friction ia this community will
be entirely eliminated as 8 result
of this conference and the orders
issued by Mr.. Wilmoth..s.
| Mr.. Wilmoth also agreed to
recommend to the department at
Washington 9 number of other
suggestions made by the com
mistee which will be of great
benefit to the merchants of this
city. To outline these sugges
tions at this time is not consider.
ed proper until the acceptance
or rejection of the recommends
tions is made by Washington.
The committee feels sure that
the recommendations will Le
approved by the department at
Washington and that at last the
enforcement of immigration reg.
ulations at this port will be plac
ed on q much more satisfactory
basis and under an interpreta.
ton of regulations that will re.
move as far as possible the re.
straint of trade that has been
taking place during the past
several months and in some par.
ticulars since 1924.
Having secured at last a sane
working basis for the enforce.
ment of the immigration regula.
tions at this port, the committee
feels that the people of this city,
particularly the merchants, have
q duty to perform in that they
should, at every opportunity,
request that their Mexican
friends and patrons should pro
vide themselves with a border
crossing card. The card system
for identifying aliens who cross
the line is here to stay. and
everyone should assist in seeing
that as many as possible of the
people south of US secure these
identity cards. Being once re
! gistered in the immigration of
fee, much of the difficulty en-
countered will be removed and
the alien will be in q preferential
position. By consulting the
chairman of the immigration
committee of the Chamber of
Commerce or any member there
of, or by calling at the offices of
the Chamber of Commerce, the
details of the arrangement work.
ed out will be given.
The Chamber of Commerce
has large supply of seals. We
would like q wide use of this
seal on outgoing mail. Call at
