waged by the States and the United
States Government to kill off tuber-
culosis cattle and thereby protect
the health of humans.
officials tests have shown that
there are less than one-half of l
per cent of tuberculosis cattle in the
States, and all cattle which have

Maine is mostly free, and other
States making rapid progress are
Michigan Idaho, Indiana, Ohio,

The department and the States
together have between $18,OOO,000
and 100000 to spend on the work

farmers for indemnity on the cattle
killed. The Federal appropriation
is $5,744,000.

WASHINGTON, Oct. IL. - In
pressive figures for attendance in
torty-six national parks and mon
uments of the United States, Just
issued by the Department of In
terror for the travel season of 1923,
offer substantial evidence of the fact
that the Seeing America First"
movement still is in progress.
All records for travel to these
recreational reservations maintained
by the Government havebeen broken
this year. All told 3,o26,273 persons
visited the national parks and mon
umentS, a gain of 228,443 over the
figures for 1927.
Some Parks Gain
The departments statistics are
conservative. Actual check on the
immense stream of visitors in and
out of the larger parks is impossible.
The figures given out, therefore, may
be accepted as the minimum.
Attention is called by the Interior
officials to the increasing popularity
aof Crater Lake, in Oregon, where
for the first time travel exceeded the
100000 mark and to the fact that
Hawaii National Park more than
doubled the number of visitors it
had in 1927. Among the monu-
. ments, Carlsbad Cave and Aztec
Ruins in New Mexico and the Pet
rified Forest in Arizona enjoyed sub
Stantial increases.
Small Decreases Shown
Small decreases to parks that
normally should have shown in
creases is attributed by the depart
ment to temporary agricultural de-
presSions or other causes rather
than lack of popularity.
r Yosemite National Park, Cali
fornia, tops the list with an attend
ance this year of 460,619, a decrease
however, of nearly 10000 from 1927.
Platt National in Oklahoma comes
next with 280,638, also a decrease
of about $4,000 from the previous
season.
Rocky Mountain National is third
with an attendance in 1923 of
235,056, an increase of 5,195.
!. Yellowstone Park, in Wyoming,
fourth in point Of popularity, had
230,984.

Passengers of the liner Ecuador

of Lower California, according to
word received at the offices of the
Panama Mail Steamship company

The Ecuador, with 105 passengers,
was bound for New York from the
Pacific Coast when it was grounded
on Il sand pit yesterday. A smooth
sea minimized danger and enabled
the transfer of passengers to the
Mexican freightor Sinaloa.
After the big boat was re-floated
at high tide the passengers were
put back aboard and the Ecuador
proceeded to MaZatlan, Mexico.
According to reports here, the
Ecuador suffered no damage and

Ask Dismissal of
OF Coates Case

An order for the dismissal of the
damage suit brought by the mem
bers of the ID. b. Coates family OF
Inglewood against the City of Ell
Centre was filed at the county
clerk 5 office this morning by
Franklin j. Cole, former Imperial
county superior court judge, and
Il. j. Tscharner, attorneys for the
plaintiffs.
The document was accompanied
by petition asking that the court
approve the settlement of the case
as agreed upon at a meeting of the
city council of FL Centre and the
attorneys for the plaintiffs a few
days ago. At that time the parties
agreed that the matter be straight
cned out by a payment of $4,000 by
the city to the plaintiffs.
The suit grows out of the death
of ID. b. Coates, who was fatally
injured in an automobile accident
at Sixth and Main streets i'll May
1927, two cars driven by volunteer
firemen colliding and one of them
striking Coates after the accident.

New Process. Of
COlOred Films
Meets Success
By United Press Leased Wire

NEWARK, n. j, Aug. IA
new step in the creation of colored
motion pictures was exhibited here
by Frederick Y. O'Grady, and en-
thusiasts today predicted marked
success for the process.
Instead of using two or three
beams of colored light, all seven
primary colors are thrown on the
screen. This is made possible
through a special Photographic disc
which carries seven sector shaped
gelatins, each dyed one of the sew
en- colors. These negatives are then
turnd into positivcs and are shown
on the screen through ordinary
lenses. The one necessity is to tax"
pictures at slightly swifter pace
than for the ordinary non-color
motion pictures.
One of the principal results is that
the fringeing, COLOR overtones ant
colorcd rings that appear in present
color pictures, are lacking, under
the new process.

CITY HALL PORTICO, Los An
grlcs, Aug. 17.-Herbert Hoover
came out four square today "for
construction ut Boulder Canyon of
the greatest reservoir and the high
est dam that engineers will recom-
med.
Announcing his position on the
debated issue to the people of Los
Angeles massed in thousands on the
steus of the new $9,000,O00 city
hall, the Republican presidential
candidate made clear that he favor
ed in general the project embodied
~ the pending SwingJohnson blll
although he did not mention the
legislation by name.
While he avoided any direct re-
ference to the power angle of the
debate on the issue he said flatlY:
eve want the greatest reservoir
and highest dam at Boulder Canyon
that the engineers will recommend
and | am hopeful that the PROJECT
will receive favorable action, from
the present congress.
In the first draft of his speech
the nominee neglected to menti"n
his endorsement Of the proposal for
high dam which proponents be-
Iieve is necessary if power is to be
developed at the site.
The inserted phrase "and the
highest dam" WHs given out Just
before his special pulled into Los
Angeles for the ceremony.
Hoover did not mention the
Swing johnson Boulder Dam blli
which would authorize construction
Of a power dam and which is now
pending in prior legislative post
tion in the senate.
He did however, express the nope
that the great reservoir project re-
tcivo favorable action from the
present congress- He urged its
adoption in ample time to meet tins
section : expanding needs and said
h. had favored it for seven years.
Praises Development
The speecA was significant here
politically because Senator Hiram
johnson, co-author of the Swing
johnson bin, has been campaigning
for reelection here attacking what
he calls "thc power trust ~ and
blaming it for holding mp his legis-
lation. Johnson has endorsed Hoover.
The three paragraphs of bis
speech given out in advance by his
offices comprising all he intended
to say about the issue follow:
