THOUSANDS OF TOURISTS COMING THIS SUMMER Fuss up a bit, company’s coming. This is a bit of homely advice being broadcast by the Automobile Club of Southern California to all live-wire communities in this section of the state. The warning is inspired by indications of the greatest influx of tourists Southern California ever has known. The big motoring organization is not "shooting in the dark," as it were, for it bases its predictions on the activities of its touring bureau, for the first three months of the year. These show that there were 33,050 inquiries from the East regarding motor tours in this section. There were 234,600 telephone calls, 414,413 personal calls, and as indication that vast numbers of motorists are planning to see Southern California, the distribution of maps for the first three months of this year reached the record-breaking total of more than 3,000,000, or an average of over a million a month. The club says that not only this, but all indications point to an unprecedented invasion of eastern tourists into this section, and also a new record in the number of resident motorists who will tour in their own section of the country this summer instead of going outside Southern California. Clean up and try to look pretty, if not beautiful. Add a little paint and polish here and there, and try to impress upon your visitors’ minds that you are an interesting, wide-awake community, are further hints made to those places which have ambitions toward growth and progress. The more charming the small towns appear to the tourists who pass through them, the sooner will the eastern Forest Fire Fighter Pens an Owl "Bummer" Ayres Dedicates a Poem to Forestry Smoke and dust, fever and sweat, The damndest season I've put in yet; All you can hear, or think, or do, is fighting fire the season through. All other work has gone to pot, Our working plans are completely "shot" (Suffering cats, will it never rain!) My heart has a knock; my nerves are fraught. My stomach's gone, my feet are splayed. My eyes are dimmed from the backfire sniffing. My lungs are sore, and my back is broken. (Out in the West, where men are men, It hasn't rained since God knows when! A column of smoke and a windy day; It mushrooms up and drifts away. But under that pillar of pearly gray, Is the same old fight in the same old way. Thirst and sweat, worry and grime; She's jumped the line time after time. With a rip and a crackle, a rumble and rattle, We call for help and try once more. (When winter comes, we won't be sore!) The open spaces are free and deep, The mountain slopes are long and steep; The darkling canyon and rocky peak I've climbed them all, till my legs are wet. But it's rotten stuff on a forest fire. (Oh, sunny Cal. is a joyful land); It is like H——! Ain't Nature grand! A holiday for me would be. On a southern isle in a balmy sea. Where I could sleep, eat, and shave; And bathe myself in the purple wave; In its tropical rains with is glad downpour. I'd dream of the Summer of Twenty-fourth Clean up and try to look pretty, if not beautiful. Add a little paint and polish here and there, and try to impress upon your visitors' minds that you are an interesting, wide-awake community, are further hints made to those places which have ambitions toward growth and progress. The more charming the small towns appear to the tourists who pass through them, the sooner will the eastern travelers come back, and the more often will motorists who reside in this section return. It will redound to the advantage of the towns that make a good appearance before their summer visitors, it is contended, because club records show that many eastern tourists planning to come here this year are coming with the intention of establishing permanent homes somewhere in Southern California, and many will settle where the appeal of beauty, cleanliness and hospitality is strongest. Southern California may reasonably expect a tidy sum from tourist travel, if the figures announced by the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce are correct. These are that $2,500,000,000 will be spent by motor tourists in the United States this year. This means that Californians with one-thirteenth of the automobiles in their own state, and with more than 200,000 motor cars from other states, will reap a harvest of approximately $160,000,000 from motor tourists. SANTA FE'S 1924 SURPLUS $187,419,332 In presenting to the stockholders and the public the thirtieth annual report of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway Company, President William B. Storey, while calling attention to the fact that during the first half of the past year traffic was somewhat light and the net earnings smaller than for the preceding year, after all the company had a net operating income of $47,283,278 for 1924, compared with $46,362,271 in 1923. A surplus of $21,372,359 was carried to profit and loss, making the total surplus to the credit of profit and loss on December 31, 1924, $187,419,332. In the report President Storey said: "During the first six months of 1924, traffic was decidedly light and net earnings of the company were small, PLANT QUARANTINE AND INSPECTION Quite often the argument is advanced that some of the insect pests and plant diseases quarantined against by the state would not be a menace here because of our peculiar climatic conditions, some feeling that many of the insects would be unable to survive the winters, others feeling that it would be impossible for some of the bacterial and fungas diseases to increase and spread with the rapidity with which they do under more humid conditions. If the agricultural interests of this state would be just as safe without all of the inspection and quarantine laws we now have, it of course would be a great saving and would lessen the tax burden, but I believe when we study some of the situations in other countries and other states, where it seems that a few years ago there was no adequate protection and quarantine laws, we will understand better why every effort is being made to keep out certain insect pests and plant diseases which have proved a serious menace to agriculture in other countries and other states of the Union. One of the most striking examples that has been called to the attention of the agricultural interests during recent years was the outbreak of citrus canker in Florida. We note in an article appearing in a recent bulletin published by the state, some figures on their successful campaign in eradicating this dreaded disease. It was first discovered there in 1912 and, as soon as a determination of the cause had been made, an organization was perfected to carry on an eradication campaign. To date they have expended for the work $1,718,037.45. A careful inspection was made and each infected tree destroyed by burning, and they destroyed in this campaign 252,024 citrus grove trees and 3,062-785 citrus nursery trees.

WATER BOARD A regular meeting directors of the Anah Company was held rectors Hale, Tuffree Miller and Rust press Oil committee received favorable to permit A surplus of $21,372,359 was carried to profit and loss, making the total surplus to the credit of profit and loss on December 31, 1924, $187,419,332. In the report President Storey said: "During the first six months of 1924, traffic was decidedly light and net earnings of the company were small, being less than the interest and dividends. Notwithstanding this, it was deemed wise to carry out the progress of additions and betterments and of maintenance which had been adopted at the beginning of the year because the work was well organized, conditions were favorable and the very lightness of traffic meant a minimum of interference between its movement and the prosecution of such work. As a result the railroad was in condition to handle the heavy traffic of the fall months economically and at the same time most satisfactorily to its patrons, and not revenue from railroad operations of the last six months of the year would have more than offset the earlier losses if passenger traffic had not been substantially lighter than the preceding year. In common with other roads, it is found that automobiles and busses are taking quite a large amount of the company's passenger traffic." The president tells of the company's plans to build a new branch line 65 miles long in the Lubbock territory of the plains country in West Texas. It also is stated that for 1925 the company has adopted 110-pound steel rails as the standard for the main track, and the program calls for the laying of 447 miles of the heavy steel this year and 159 miles of 90-pound rails on other lines. The Santa Fe now operates 11,904.90 miles of railroad. In eradicating this dreaded disease, it was first discovered there in 1912 and, as soon as a determination of the cause had been made, an organization was perfected to carry on an eradication campaign. To date they have expended for the work $1,718,037.45. A careful inspection was made and each infected tree destroyed by burning, and they destroyed in this campaign 252,024 citrus grove trees and 3,062-765 citrus nursery trees. A conservative estimate placed on values of these trees would mean a loss to the growers of that state of something over $11,000,000, plus the actual cost of eradication, which brings the loss of property and expenditures for eradications up to something over $13,000,000. Another example is the Mexican orange maggot. We are told that in some states of Mexico that this insect is responsible for the loss of some 35 per cent of the crop. This would mean, in Orange county alone, a loss of about $6,000,000 annually. The Maderaterranean fruit fly is another insect which has a wide range of host fruits and has become established on practically every continent of the globe, except North America. All of the artificial control measures thus far experimented with have given only partial control. It gained a foot hold in the Hawaiian islands in 1910, and there was placed upon all host fruits a domestic quarantine by the federal horticultural board, and this prohibits the importation of numerous tropical and subtropical fruits from the islands. I am sure we experienced last year some of the ill effects of quarantine on all lines of industry, so it would not only affect agriculture if some of these dreaded insect pests or plant diseases should become established, but indirectly it would affect all industries of the state.

This report must show make of car, license number, motor number, name and address of owner, date of rental, etc. Regular blanks for filing such information are furnished by the detective bureau, central station, Los Angeles, where such information should be turned in. The state law provides that in suburban districts such rentals shall be reported to the sheriff of the county. Experience of the past few weeks, according to authorities, indicates property owners are either ignorant of the law or negligent. Citizens who really want to co-operate in the war against automobile thieves may lend aid if they will not only report rentals of garages, but all circumstances that seem at all suspicious, to either the nearest police department or to the theft bureau of the automobile club, which works in close touch with the authorities and is constantly on the job of recovering stolen cars.
