should 60 beyond that"
Campbell cited a half mile of
trail not far from FL Centre that
has hardly changed since the days
of the sos and early COS when
coach drivers barreled over it atop
their swaying coaches.
There are the ruts burned deep
by the coach wheels. and on either
side are faint trails where the out
riders cantered their ponies, -
Campbell declared. Such things
deserve to be preserved. They will
not remain always"
Campbell urged some form OF
concerted action, whether through
the suprvisors or through the Pho
neer's association, to not only ga
ther up all the data on the desert
of the past and place it in the
museum, but also TO arrange
careful system of marking for such
historical features as the Butter
field stage route.
Campbell qualified as an Imper-
ial Valley pioneer in 1888 when ne
a lad of 16 he stalked deer at 49
Palms in Carriso gorge and got his
first glimpse of the valley from
atop the hills that motorists now
climb en- route to San Diego.
Those were really the good old
days" Campbell reminisced. 81
came over to visit the Thing boys,
Frank and the rest of them, who
had a ranch near Laguna. In those
days it was open range and the
I,agunas were real cattle country.
The countryside looks just about
the same now as it did then, ex-
cept that the cattle are pretty
much gone"
When he was two years old,
Campbell came to San Diego from
oregon with his parents. That was
in 1875. Although he was only four
at the time. he still remembers
watching hunters shoot quail in
the block where the Marston's store
stands in the heart Of what is now
downtown San Diego. 1t was semi
wilderness then.
Campbell passed through the
valley by train in 1892 and return
ed 10 settle in 1908.
Il remember walking into town,
because the train tracks weren't
vet built up to the tent city" he
recalled.
Campbell now lives in the San
Diego area. but frequently visits
his son, Don Campbell, of near
Seeley.

Announced cut in Minnesota's
w. P. A. rolls scheduled for May
8 will be one of the topics dis
cussed by Gov. Harold E. Stassen
of Minnesota, who arrived here to-
day for conference with Federal
officials.
Built like a heavyweight fighter
and more than 6 feet tall, Gov.
Stassen at 80 is not only one of the
youngest State executives in the
country, but also is Minnesotas first
Republican Governor since 1880.
The Governor smilingly dismissed
a question concerning his possible
candidacy for the presidency, point
ing out that he would not meet the
constitutionally required minimum
for candidates of IS years until
April, 1912.
He said he planned to seek re-
election to the governorship, but
his plans for continuing his program
under way in the State left no room
for the seeking Of seat in the
Senate in 1910.

schemes, and threats of war, the
outlook for increase in trade is not
encouraging. Fear of the future
is powerful deterrent to increased

He added that the situation had
been intensified in this country be-
cause of Government policies.
Mr.. Hanes said that "the most
welcome visitor to bank today is

too often the request for credit
comes from concerns that are not
good credit risks.
