NOTED
NOVELIST To
VISIT VALLEY

Zane Grey, famous author whose
home is in Altedena, mas been sent
an invitation to visit Imperial VAL
ley by Robert Hays, manager of the
Ell Centre Chamber of Commerce.
The invitation was sent at the di-
rection of NJ o. Simms. president
of the tourist and convention bu-
reau, after the possibility of sto-
ry by Grey with the route of the
Imperial Highway as its locale was
discussed by the Ell Centro men,
bers of that bureau.
Believing that the country in
western Imperial and eastern San
Diego counties is adapted to Zane
Grey's style of writing, and know
ing that book by this popular
author would do much to acquaint
the public with this little known
area Of desert, foothills and noun
tains, the tourist and convention
bureau decided Grey should be in
vited to Imperial Valley and taken
into the country traversed by the
Imperial Highway in the hope of
interesting him to write a novel
using this area as setting.
In his letter of invitation Hays
pointed out that the Imperial High
way, formerly known as the old
Butterfield stage route and the
Emigrant trail, has much of his
torical interest and much present
Gay romance as we'll in connection
with the cattle country through
which it runs, and that much color
surrounds the development of this
route from the time of the Span
ish padres to the present day. In
presenting this matter to Grey
Hays stated, Il assume that you
are familiar with FL Centro and
Imperial Valley generally, but We
should very much like you to come
down and visit us and go over the
old Butterfield stage route, visit
the important old adobe stage sta
tons and cattle ranches and the
abandoned mines. We feel sure
tEat if you will devote a few days
to this pilgrimage you will be cage"
to commence a story or romance
predicated upon the colorful past
history and present day activity on
the old Emigrant trail, now being
reconstructed as the Imperial High
way"
Grey has already written one
book having its locale in Imperial
county, "Wanderer of the Waste
land" which deals with the early
mining days at Picacko in the east
ern part of the county and taking
in the sand hills country and the
territory north into Coachella val
ley. The book was written about
Is years ago.

Surrey Basis OF
Loans In Valley

That the recent survey OF the
valley made by engineers is being
used as a basis for making COM
missioner's loans, is stated in a
letter from the Berkeley office in
which an application for an emer-
gency loan is rejected.
The letter states that upon ref
erence to the survey, no loan can
be made, and no appraisal OF the
property was made prior to rejec-
tion
Scott B. Foulds, agent TO the cor
respondent of the commissioner,
states that the letter indicates that
in certain districts no loans will be
made. Since the land in question
is east of the Alamo river and ir
the southern part of the county, in
dications point to the fact that
commissioner loans are to be
made only in the region between
the Alamo and New rivers, al
though the letter does not state
this.
