What are Imperial and San Diego
counties going to do about contln-
ually dWindling source OF income
from national tourist travel
That was the question asked I'M
pcrial Valley men Saturday night by
Frank Forward. energetic president
of the San Diego Chamber of Com
mcrce. at meeting in the Planters
hotel in BraWlcy of the Imperial
San Diego conference of business
leaders.
Tourist travel still pours into
California Forward said, but our
share here in the extreme south has
dropped to only 20 percent of all the
travel coming into southern Cali
tOrnia."
He referred to the number of tour
lists checked in through the Yuma
gateway. which last year amounted
TO $1,000 as against the following re-
cOrdneS at other southern points of
entry: Blythe 81 7587: Daggett 10000;
Parker 1000 and Boulder Dam 81
900
Farmer Tourists
Imperial county should be a lot
more interested in tourist business
than it apparently is" Forward
warned Large percentages of these
visitors are farmers, who, by becOm-
ing interested in Imperial Valley,
can boost the marketability Of your
land and YOur products. The more
widely known YOU are, the greater
will be the demand for Imperial VAL
ley brands.
Furthermore. about two million
dollars comes into the valley an
nuallv in tourist dollars. This can be
doubled or trebled Your largest
benefit will come however, from
further development of the San Di-
ego area as a market or your dairy
products and other things such as
hay. The bigger the adjacent popu-
lation YOU have. the better of will be
the valley farmers
In addition he stressed the fact
that by cooperating with San Diego
in the development of tourist travel
Imperial county can expect San
Diego'S cooperation in obtaining the
things more intensely desired by
Imperial county,
Forward pointed out that the
most popular port of entry into CAL
ifornia is the Boulder dam source.
To offset that attraction, we
should unite to make the cOmbina-
ton of San Diego'S interest points,
Palomar observatory, and the ALL
American canal more attractive. 1t
can be done and we should be at
work on Just such a united pro-
gram"
Asked if he considered the devel-
opment by Arizona interests of a
winter port and fishing grounds on
the Gulf Of California at Punta
PenaScO detrimental to San Diego's
interests, Forward said he consider
ed it helpful.
Marketing Discussed
I'VE should cooperate with Ari-
zona in their program. The more at
fractions we have here in the SOUTH
west corner of the United States,
the moro travel we will all receive

Letter Describing Wreck Believed Clue
To Fate ofMystery Fishing Boat

LONG BEACH, Cal, March H..
1UP)--A letter describing a wreck
off Central America, with bodies
floating in the ocean nearby. was
regarded today as a clue to the
mystery of the fishing boat Belle
Isle which disappeared six years ago
with II men aboard.
The Belle Isle sailed from here
June 10, 1884, on 4 months cruise
in the southern tuna waters and
was never heard from again. The
first word Of her possible fate came
in letter received by Grey Silva,
San Diego fisherman, from a friend
at Cristobal in the Panama canal
zone.
After a hurricane off the Central
American coast in 1894, the friend
wrote that he made an airplnae
flight over the devastated zone. OIL

the Lempa river delta IS miles from
La Union, Salvador, he saw the
Wreckage of a fishing boat. The
boat was submerged and lay on its
side. All he made out of the name
was the word Belle" Bodies of sew
en- men were near the boat.
This clue came to light coincident
with the filing of suit by Long
Beach woman, Marka Andrich, to
collect $4,000 insurance on the life
of one Of the crew members. Baldo
Covatevith. The life insurance emo
pany is resisting payment on
grounds a clause invalidated the
policy if Covatevith died outside the
United States territorial waters.
Sinking of the boat left nine wo-
men widows and IT childen father

tractive." He proposed creation of
projects in the home states of the
"ArkieS' and "Okies" which would
induce the migrants to leave Cali
fornia and influence others not to
come
Elliott said he favored a resolution
sponsored by Rep. John II. Tolan,
d.. Calf, to investigate interstate
migration of destitute citizens" but
admitted that he thought there was
little chance OF successfully oppoS-
ing construction of camps planned
for Portersville and Farmersville,
Calf.
Oppose Camps
He voiced his opposition to the
camps at a meeting of the Califor-
ma congressional delegation last
week, called to discuss the migratory
labor problem. This week he plans
to Introduce q bill to divert some
OF the funds for camp construction
to the support of school districts
IN which the camps will be located.
1t does no good to build migrant
camps, he said. because that mere
~ draws in more out of state work
ers. Th"y come because California
pays higher wages and higher relief
and has better social benefits than
other state. They know they will
be taken care Of Whole commun-
ltieS from Oklahoma, Arkansas and
other states pick up and leave. be-
cause their brothers. or uncles or
friends write them that they get
taken care of in California. There
are thousands upon thousands of
them, and you couldn't build enough
migrant camps to take care of them
all.
Would Go Home
But If their land wasn't depleted
so they couidn't make a living and
II they had decent places to live
at home. most of them wouldn't
leave. That 10 the thing to get at.
once program of reclamation and
housing, providing many Jobs, was
started, and it became known among
the migrants, lots of them would
leave California to 60 home"
For these migrants who won't
leave" Elliott favors a federal home
stead plan, under which the workers
could be 9iVeE land to pay for over
i long period. He said he favored
more equal state old age and other
benefits. also. to take the burden
off California.
But something has got to be
done, ne declared. Not only are
these people taking jobs from Cali
fornianS and crowding their children
out of schools, but they are bank
rupting counties and school districts.
They come in poor health, and are
Il health menace and at the same
time Il tremendous health cost. The
situation is getting more serious
daily And still more of them come,
and they will continue to come, as
long as they keep putting migrant
camps up

TRAFFIC DEATHS
ON THE INCREASE
in THE STATE
17H%o More Deaths In Septem-
Der Than In The Same Month
Of Last Year

AS convincing argument for great
ly increased care in driving on ou1
State highways and City streets, Gov
ernor Herbert R. O'Conor's Maryland
Traffic Safety Committee points out
that there were 48 persons killed in
the State in traffic accidents in Sep
TENDER. This is an increase of thir-
ty three and one-third per cent over
the same month of 1889, and brings
the total of traffic fatalities this year
to $40, an increase of 171a over the
first nine months of last year.
Tabulations by the State Police De-
partment and the State Roads Com
mission indicate that the volume of
traffic carried on Maryland Roads of
late months has been the heaviest in
history, a condition which probably
accounts for some of the increase.
This very condition, however, the Traf-
fic Safety Committee points out,
clearly demands greater degree OF
caution on the part both of motorists
and of our residents who walk along
the highways.
For September, Prince Georges
County has the unenviable distinc-
ton of leading the counties in deaths
with 8, which is just less than
Baltimore City. Howard County
comes next with 5 deaths, and Carroll
and Hartford had each. In keeping
with records of past months, approx
imately one-half of those killed were
pedestrians.
The Traffic Safety Committee ap-
pointed by the Governor last Sep
TENDER is now beginning its second
year, and has accomplished much in
the way of improved engineering,
public education, safety work among
school children, etc., etc. While legis-
lation is being prepared for submis-
sion to the General Assembly in jan
uary, however, without complete CO.
operation by the driving and walk
ing public, the Committee realizes
that it can't accomplish its aim of
greatly reducing the present terrific
traffic toll.
