OVER OTHER ENTRY STATIONS

Yuma in the first 10 months of
1892 were checked during the
month of July, with 7180 cars, or
1886 persons. June was the third
highest, with 6751 cars entering the
state by way of Yuma and the
second highest month was January
when 1926 cars entered. The low
est number of cars during this pe-
riod was in September when only
4088 out of state motorists entered
California at Yuma.
These out of state tourists. the
local chamber states, are known to
spend on an average of $6.08 per
person per day, which means that
as 155, 5,096 people entered the state
by way of the Yuma station since
the first of the year, S942 ,9e3 .68
would have been spent in the I'M
perlal Valley communities had these
cities succeeded in keeping each
tourist for just one day.
1t is pointed out that this ap-.
plies only to automobile tourists and
does not include the income which
may be derived from the many per-
sons who each year visit El Centre
and Imperial Valley by rail, bus
and plane if q concerted effort were
made by the communities of Impe-
rial Valley to build up the tourist
business to which they are en-
titled.

VALLEY DRUG
AIDS MAILING

Free wrapping service for Christ
mas packages will be in effect at
the El Centre post office Monday
morning when Massey Horton, pro-
prietor of the Valley Drug store,
again will offer this accommodation
to residents of the community.
A wrapper will be installed in
the post office lobby with boxes,
heavy paper and string to be used
in properly wrapping parcels for
mailing Everything is expected to
be in order by l o'clock Monday
morning. The public is invited to
utilize this convenience.
THE free wrapping service pro-
vided by Horton" said G. c. Jen-
kins, postmaster, " is a great aid
to postal employees as well as to
the public. The wrapper knows
how to wrap parcels and they are
easier to handle when he has fin
ished with them. Also, delay is
avoided as patrons would have to
take improperly wrapped pack
ages home if the service were not
available"

SPIDER TRIES
To SPIN WEB

AKRON. O.. Dec. 10. U.P-The
battle of q hairy black arachnid,
commonly known as SPIDER to
harness the moving hands Of an
alarm clock in its silken web may
be carried on by a second genera
ton unless death Or the humane
society intervenes.
DR.. w. c. Kraatz, Akron uni
versity biologist, who has been
studying the spider, through a mic
roScope, in its apparently futile
battles against the machine age,
said today that two circular clus-
ters deposited on the face of the
alarm clock appeared to be eggs.
If these are allowed to hatch, he
pointed out, one of the spiders Off
spring likely would take up the
blind. relentless fight to spread a
web over the hands of the clock.
The female spider already has
spent 20 days at its task and sci
entists said that, being cannibalis-
tic by nature, it would be able TO
obtain sufficient food to continue
the battle indefinitely by eating
its young after they had Matched.
The humane society, in the per-
son of G. w. Dilley, agent, may in
tervene, however, unless the spider
dies soon. Dilley said today he
would permit DR.. Kraatz to study
the arachnid for one more week
and then he would request that it
be freed from its prison.
Probably the spider would die
anyway, once it was turned loose
in the cold weather, but it's not
fair to let it die inside that pris-
on, Dilley said.
Undeterred by the fact that it
has become the center of scien-
tific study, the spider today con-
tinued its patient and futile at
tempts to spread a web between
the two hands which already are
covered with the debris of its
previous attempts.

TONDRO TALKS
At SAN DIEGO

w. A. Tondro, president of the
El Centro Chamber of Commerce
presided at a dinner meeting held
in the u. S. Grant hotel in San
Diego last evening for the purpose
of encouraging the use in San Di-
ego of Imperial Valley products.
The dinner, which was planned by
the El Centre chamber, was attend
ed by architects, contractors and
plastering contractor of the coast
city who were urged to use gypsum
and Empire brand plaster from the
plant of the Pacific Portland Ce-
ment company at Plaster City in
Imperial county.
Tondro gave the history of the
gypsum plant in a talk after the
dinner and Robert Hays, manager
of the local chamber, told the group
that this plant is the only one in
California producing gypsum and
pointed out that the more popular
the product from the Plaster City
plant becomes, the greater will be
San DiegoS benefit.
Already increasing demand for
this product is making traffic in
San Diego's harbor and much OF
the plaster made in Imperial VAL
ley plant is shipped through the
port of San Diego to all parts of
the world, after being brought into
the coast city over the San Diego
and Arizona railway Zines.
Louis Gill, R. S. Requa and
Ralph Swearingen, formerly of Ell
Centro, and all prominent San Di-
ego architects, spoke in favor of the
use of the Imperial county plaster
and the architects attending gener-
ally expressed themselves as desir-
ing when possible, to specify that
the Plaster City product be used.
Representatives of the local cham
ber attending the meeting feel that
much benefit will come to Imperial
county from this gathering and that
those in the building trades in San
Dieog realize that the use of PlaS-
ter City products benefits San Di-
ego as we'll as Imperial county be-
cause of the traffic increase by rail
and water which results from
geater use OF material produced
there.
Among the % San Diegans who
attended the dinner were Congress
ELECT George Burnham, F. L.
Annable, president and general
of the San Diego and Ari-
zona railway; T. c. Macauley, sec
retary-manager of the San Diego
Chamber of Commerce; Harry Cra-
mer, president of the manufactur-
ers' association and T. F. Bomar
and C. F. Reynolds of the traffic
of the San Diego
Chamber of Commerce.

Interesting figures on tourist
traffic into Southern California
were submitted to the Ell Centro
Chamber of Commerce by Chas. A.
Horrworth. field secretary of the
All-Year Club of Southern Cali
fornia during a visit at chamber
headquarters this week. Horrworth
stated that automobile tourist traf-
flee entering Southern California
by the four southern gateways of
Blythe, Daggett, Yermo and Yuma
during the year 1892 to November
has totaled 2,483 cars.
For the year 1881. up to Novem-
ber l, 57,813 out of state cars, car
rying an average of 81 persons per
car, entered the state via the Yuma
station. This constitutes 51.4 per
cent of the total volume of tourist
cars handled by the four southern
stations. In other words 81 out of
every 100 out of state cars enter
ing Southern California enter at
Yuma and pass through El Centro
and Imperial Valley. Only 8.4 per
cent, or eight cars out of every loo
enter by way of Blythe.
Although it is generally believed
that tourist traffic through Ell
Centro and Imperial Valley is light
er during the summer months. the
figures gathered by Horrworth show

"The public may want to know

"I will say that the only time l
ever heard any reference to this
annual report was in discussion
between members secretaries who
were interested in looking into it
to find out what some little girl
in some other office was getting as

wondering now who is interested in
the information contained in this

Who among the official life need
