the visitor gets full value received for every
dollar he desires to spend here.

Someone made thorough study of the
travel situation, and breaking down the
travel dollar, finds that in its purchases it is
divided thus:
Transportation Tail auto and taXD 20 cents;
hotel and other types Of accommodations 20
cents; merchandise 25 cents; hotel dining rooms
and restaurants, p cents; recreation and amuse-
cent, eight cents, refreshments and confections,

Development of Imperial county's
East and West Mesa lands into agri-
cultural areas will be accomplished. 1t
is only matter of time before farms
replace the desert. The federal gov
ernment, by opening lands under other
reclamation projects, has demonstrated
that it will in all probability open up the
mesa lands, almost as soon as water is
available from the All American canal
That will not be until 1889.
Should the lands be thrown open in
the meantime?
Homesteaders without any other
source Of income would starve on the
lands of either mesa, until water is
available. On the other hand, if they
have sources of income aside from the
proposed homesteads, they could be pre-
pairing it for irrigation and crops. Such
a system, however, would limit home
steads to those who are engaged in other
business, or have other farms.
Veterans need not fear that they will
not be given first choice of land when
the mesa country is thrown open. 1t is
provided by law that the veterans shall
receive first consideration. The law has
been followed in every instance where
new lands were thrown OPEN as shown
by several instances in the Pacific north
west
The two mesas will add rich terri
tory to Imperial county-but first the
All American canal must be completed,
