SAYS FULL TIME
GAME WARDEN IS
REQUIRED HERE

Strcssing the need of a full time
game warden for Imperial county,
f.. J. Little of the state bureau of
fish and game patrol, spoke yester-
Idav before the FL Centre Chamber
of Commerce. The FL Centre cham
Der has been working for some
months to secure the services of
such a warden and Little stated
that while six years ago there were
nine deputy game wardens in South
ern California and today, %, there
ie none in this county, although he
believes the chamber 5 efforts will
/ be success and this community
will have a full time game warden
within three or four months.
Continuing, Little stated that I'm
periaI county is the dove hunting
county of California and that on
/ September ., 1926, 1900 doves were
taken out of Imperial county by
outside hunters and that on one day
i Of this year j0l6 doves were taken
out of the county, this number not
! including the number shot by local
/ persons. He stated further that he
4 believes Salton Sea will become the
/ center of anglers of Southern Cal
/ ifOrnia, with the two carloads of
striped bass already planted there
Iand the additional two carloads to
t be planted in Salton Sea the lat
ter part of this month.
/ Phcasants are also to become a
drawing card for hunters here, ac-
cording to the speaker as are quail,
which are increasing with the re-
+ duction Of the open season from
three months to one month. Little,
with his assistants, on last Tuesday
released $50 phcasants near Holt
i Vile. in addition to coo which they
/ had formerly released. He reports
/ that these birds have moved from
the alfalfa field TO the river sec
tions and were thriving especially
well east and south of FL Centro.
In order to protect these varir
ties of game Imperial county should
have one or more permanent game
deputies the speaker believes anC
he also urged the local chamber tC
put forth every effort to see that
yiolators of the fish and game law,
are punished and that no suspend
ed fines are allowed. The speaker
stated that he has never seen 4 con
yiction on n fish and game violation
in a jury trial in Imperial county
and he urged that violators. 90 pei
cent Of whom are from Los Angeles
should be punished if the state game
laws are to be upheld and tie game

BELIEVE LOW POINT HAS BEEN
PASSED IN SOUTHLAND BUSINESS

building construction and building
materials prices have strengthened
in recent weeks. In September for
the second consecutive month, the
value Of building permits issued in
Los Angeles was slightly greater as
compared both with the preceding
month and the corresponding month
wear ago. The oil industry oper-
atcd at a somewhat lower level dur
ing September than in August due
to the program Of the producers to
curtail further the production of
petroleum, and thereby effect bet
ter coordination between supply and
demand. Manufacturing activity is
still below normal but conditions do
not appear to be getting worse and
in some leading lines improvement
was disccrniblc during September.
Conditions in the merchandising
field were reported to have inn
proved during September, although
sales during the month were smaller
than in September, 1929. Inventor
/ les of finished goods in most lines
are reported to be moderate. Com
mcrcc through the Los Angeles Har-
Dor has been maintained in large
volume, and during the first eight
months of 1880 recorded only a
small percentage decrease in ton
mage and value over the preceding
year. Increases were reported in the
volume of general cargo during
September, and a steady improve
mcnt in this class Of business is pre-
dicted for the next few months.
Tourist travel has held up remark
ably well this year in spite of the
general decline in business. Accur-
ate check at p inspection stations

belonging to California residents,

The slackncss that has character
lied business in Los Angeles and
in Southern California during the
summer months has continued into
the early part of the fall season on
the basis of business during Sep
tcmber although indications are ap-
parent that the low point has prob
ably been passed. Business normal
ly improves during the fall months,
but it remains to be seen If the I'M
provcmcnt win occur this year and
whether it will be more or less than
seasonal. Some encouragement Is
to be derived from the strong bank
credit position, the generally salts
factory condition of agriculture,
and the firming tendency which
was to be noted in the prices Of
some commodities in recent weeks,
although in regard to the latter it
cannot be certain yet that the
trend is definitely established.
