DEATH BOARDS BOAT TO TAKE AGED CHIAAMAN
Chong Lit to Be Buried in Alaska Without Re-
 igious Services

Bury me in Alaska; no religious services"
 Such were the dying instructions of Chong Lit, aged 68, veteran Chinese cannery worker who breath ed his last yesterday afternoon aboard the tender John L.. c. of the Libby McNeill and Libby Com pany as the craft was hastening from Taku Harbor to Juneau to enable him to obtain hospital treat ment for his ailment of heart disease. His wishes will be re spected. He will be inferred to- morrow forenoon in Evergreen Cemetery there to repose without the conformity at any time in the future to the racial custom of transference to the Oriental father land.
 No Christian Rites
 Over the remains, no Christian prayers will be said in the Charles w. Carter Mortuary, which will direct the burial; no Buddhist chant will signalize the closing of the grave; no foods or flowers will be left on his resting place to pla- cate the mischieyous or to charm the gracious spirits of neither worlds.
 Chong Lit will be accompanied to the cemetery by two country men and friends, Walter Chung and Chan Din With him, they came here and on the boat he enjoined them against holding formal obsequies for him.
 Followed Cannery Work
 Tine aged Chinese followed sea- sonal cannery labor in Alaska many years. He lived in Seattle during the winters. He came north sev- eral weeks ago to work in the Taku cannary of Libby, McNeill and Libby; but illness had inca pacitated him ever since his ar- rival.

Rice Again Will
Be I'm Charge At
Live Oak Springs

S. J. Rice, who with his fatheS
the late L. c. Rice. founded Live
Oak Springs, one of Imperial VAL
ley'S most popular mountain re-
sorts, has returned to take charge
of affairs there this summer and
plans to make IL even more at
tractive than it ever has been be-
fore for summer dwellers.
Rice has recently renovated all
cottages owned at the resort and
they have been put in fine condi-
ton for the summer season.
A feature of entertainment will
be Bob Rice and his Los Angeles
orchestra which will play at Live
Oaks Springs throughout the sea-
son. There will be free dancing
every night except Saturday and
Sunday nights. A nominal admis-
sion will be charged over the week
end. On other days the orchestra
will be available to residents for
dances and concerts.
AS in the past Rice will operate
a complete store at the resort,
making daily solicitations and de-
livery of groceries and meats, ice
and milk.
A service station with repair
shop and full equipment will be
maintained on the highway ad-
lacent to Live Oak Springs.
The season at Live Oak Springs
will open on June 4, and a large
crowd of valley residents Is eX-
pected for the occasion.
In addition to being one of the
coolest places in the mountains,
Live Oak Springs has many nat
ural beauties which make 1t at
tractive to the desert dweller, and
with the return of Rice after an
absence of three years, the resort
is expected to resume its old time
popularity.
The new highway, which goes
through the resort, makes 1t acces-
sible easily to valley residents.
Rice is hoping to interest other
property owners in the mountains
in obtaining electric power from
the Southern Sierras Power COM
pany which now has lines as far
west from San Diego as Pine VAL
ley.

NEW OWNERS OF JACUMBA MAKE
EXTENSIVE PLANS FOR. SUMMER

ing out the best music that Jacum-
ba has had for the past eight years.
On the nights there are no dances
they will have a moving picture
show where the very latest talkies
will be enjoyed.
Pool Renovated
The swimming pool has been
thoroughly renovated and a vacuum
system installed whereby the pool
is cleaned every day; and circula-
ton is made in such a way that
the water is always clean and fresh
water put in every "a hours.
The old ball grounds have been
reconstructed, and a steam roller
has put the grounds in much bet
ter shape than ever before. Ar
rangements have been made for the
Maggie Fat Boys to make this their
summer home, and many interest
ing games are expected this sum-
mer between the various valley
teams, as we'll as teams through
out San Diego county.
The bath house has been thor
oughly renovated. and is under the
care of an efficient masseur and
masseuse.
The business men of Jacumba
have recently organized an associa-
ton which they call the Boosters
club, of which Charlie Murphy,
formerly mayor of Hipass, is pres
ident; and they have a number of
interesting programs laid out for
the valley people through the en-
tire summer season.
One of the latest things in the
way of amusements and something
not seen elsewhere is the roping
of goats. Each Sunday afternoon
the Goat club rangles with a
bunch of "billies"-this alone is
worth driving up the hill.
Those who enjoy horseback rid
ing will be glad to learn that there
are two strings of very good riding
horses, and modern equipment with
prices in keeping with the times.
Valley people will no doubt be
interested to learn that the new
owners of Jacumba Hot Springs
are doing everything in their pow
er, with financial conditions as they
are, to make the Valleys Play
Ground even more interesting than
it has been in the past.

A visit to Jacumba a few days
ago, showed many changes that
the Harrison Investment company
is making to provide more comfort
and more amuSements for the ben
eft of its guests from Imperial
Valley for the coming summer.
Manager Walter Clement states
that due to the general financial
conditions most of the resorts are
not contemplating a very healthy
season, while in Jacumba condi-
tions are such that many Imper-
ial Valley people who are accus-
toned to going to the coast, this
summer feel that they cannot af-
ford such a costly way of spending
their vacations, and are going TO
spend their summer at Jacumba.
With this condition in view he is
fixing up the cottages, apartments
and hotels in much better shape
than they have been before, and
expects to have quite a few new
cottages before season is fairly un-
der way. He is buying new dishes,
furniture and mattresses, and keep
ing paint and cleaning crew busy
preparing the cottages for the sum-
mer.
There will be many more amuse-
ments in Jacumba than heretofore.
Negotiations are now under way
with an amusement company to
put in a group of concessions and
amusements to help while away
the time while in the mountains.
At the Hotel Jacumba, formerly
known as the Vaughn Hotel,
Tommy Thompson, a we'll known
hotel man from San Diego, is in
charge and the Hotel Jacumba is
on a par for comfort with any of
the hotels in Southern California.
Bob Hoyt, popular represent
ative of the Valley Steam Laundry
in the Mountain Empire District,
has completed group of fine pools
which he intends to stock with
eight and nine inch trout, SO that
the followers of Ike Walton can
amuse themselves to their hearts
content and get trout at less cost
than the old fashioned way of
whipping stream.

agement of a group of San Diego

EMERGENCYMET I
BY FUEL FIRM

'The unustiaI open winter we
have just passed through has
been q gOdsend to many fani-
lies. Even though we are in the
fuel business, we are human
enough to say that the mild
winter did not hold out long
enough to relieve suffering
among the many affected by
unemployment"
These were the remarks of
Charles H. st. John, vice presi-
dent Of the Griffith Consumers
Company, during a recent inter
view. He continued:
During our "a years Of bust
ness experience we have learned
the importance Of meeting the
customers desires. We know
that when people actually need
fuel they want it in q hurry.
Realizing this, we have
equipped ourselves to cope with
just such weather conditions as
those Of the past week, by main
tanning at all times q fleet Of
125 fuel trucks. In many re-
speCtS this fleet of trucks is COM
parable with fire-fighting equip
ment, in that it may not be
utilized at all times, but is al
ways available for emergencies
at q minutes notice.
"Our company had to press
into service IS extra outside
trucks to handle emergency
coal orders during the past
week, and even then we could
not give the same high stand
ard Of service which the CON-
pany is always ready to give
during normal weather con-
ditiOnS.
.'Tn the final analysis a fuel
company owes q great ObIiga-
tiOn to the public, and the pub
lie always looks for the dis
charge Of this obligation during
such unheraIded changes in
temperature as we have recently
experienced"

NEW SYSTEM Of
MAKING SHADES

The Kash and Harry Window
Shade Company have estab-
lished branches in the numerous
Howard's OderlesS Cleaners
Stores throughout the city, it
was announced recently by
Charles F. Watson, head Of the
Kash & Harry organization.
With convenience for the
housewife as the first principle
Of service, this company will
renew, repair, fit and manufac-
ture window shades for any size
window. Explaining this unusual
system of service, Mr.. watson
said:
Few people realize the advan-
tages in this opportunity to re-
new ones window shades at q
very nominal cost. Go to a
Howard's OderleSS Cleaners store
in your neighborhood. Take
with you half or all Of your
window shade rollers. Have
fresh, clean and conforming
cloth, at a less cost than stock
shades Of indifferent sizes, put
on your rollers. Then notice
the vast improvement in the ap-
pearance Of your home, both
inside and out.
Budget your. window shades
as you do your groceries"
