Secretary A. E. Isham of the Redlands chamber of commerce yesterday presented his board of directors with a report on'the condition of the Ocean-to-Ocean highway which brings transcontinental automobile traffic through the city, as compared with the condition of the Borderland highway, commonly known as the Yuma route from the East. For several years Ms. Isham has been prominent in movements to have the Ocean-to-Ocean route improved, particularly In Arizona, and thus encourage traffic to prefer that route.

Yesterday's report was based on a tour over the two highways which Mr. Isham made last week with Earl W. Porter, secretary of the Riverside chamber of commerce, and James L. Davis, secretary of the Riverside county chamber of commerce. Gives Details of Desert Journey Mr.

Isham yesterday released the following statement regarding his findings during the highway Investigation: "Our trip to Phoenix was made over the Ocean-to-Ocean highway through Blythe, and the return by way of Yuma. A resume of the trip may be of interest to those con templating a visit to Phoenix in the near future. "The first 98 miles from Red- lands to a point four miles east of Mecca are paved, and the forty miles of graveled highway from there to Desert Center is almost as good as paving. East of Desert Center, the road has numerous dips "which cut down the speed. Sixteen miles east of Desert Center, we find the type of desert macadam road called 'oil which provides smooth riding for the 32 miles to Blythe.

Expects $300,000 Road Expenditure "This 'oil mix' paving is soon to be extended 22 miles to. a point about five miles west of Desert Center, it is understood, as the sum of $300,000 is allocated in the 1930 budget for that purpose. To be available, the contract must be let before July 1. "The trip from Riverside to Blythe is varied and interesting, extending as it does among orange groves, date gardens, the picturesque Box canyon, mesas edged with colorful mountains and the interesting plant life of this portion of Southern California. As we near Blythe, we pass- the silhouette of the Dragon's Back near Desert Center, the 'Rock Candy' mountains and Black Rock, where Blythe holds its Easter sunrise services.

We had left Riverside at 10:30 a. m. and arrived in Blythe 'atf 4 o'clock after taking out half an hour for lunch at Coachella. "The four miles from Blythe to the Colorado river, even now in good condition, are soon to be taken over and maintained by the state, it is understood. On the Arizona side of the river, there is a very fast graveled road for about 15 miles, and the next 25 miles from Quartzslte to Bouse are mostly gravelly dirt and in very good condition and a speed of 30 miles an hour can easily be maintained.

The last nine miles are exceptionally well cared for. Desert Beauties Draw Comment "Since leaving Blythe, we have passed through the ghost city of Ehrenberg, with its "adobe ruins, and have seen for the first time the native suhuara (pronounced swar-ra) cactus. The Arizona hills are dotted with this picturesque cactus as well as with paloverde, grease- wooa, aesert ceaar, mesquite. yucca Twelve Lodges Represented in Redlands Gathering When Grand Ruler Honored Elks from 12 lodges of the Southern California Jurisdiction attended the mass dinner and banquet honoring A.

Mr. Morris moved to Los Angeles five years ago, but resided In Colton for 10 years, on Pennsylvania avenue. The widow, two sons and three daughters survive. bidBeet Robberies Are Reported During Last Few Weeks; Footprints Only Clews Obtained Though police of other cities in the valley are seeking to locate burglars who have been entering residences in their communities, Colton is not entirely free of this type of law violator, Chief of Police Elmer S.

Delss asserted yesterday in reporting two attempts made to enter houses on North Eighth street Four homes were entered two week3 ago, the losses to Dr. E. E. Helsby of North Eighth street and A. L.

Tuller of West I street, being the heaviest. The screen in the rear door of the Ray E. De Armond home, 1077 North Eighth street was cut, but the prowler apparently was frightened away when Mrs. De Armond, who was at home, telephoned to her husband, who was unable to find Officers Find Footprints A man was observed loitering at night about the residence of H. P.

Wtflet3 at 845 North Eighth street by W. F. Cain, he reported to police the next morning. An Investigation revealed footprints about the windows. Entry was not gained in either instance.

It is possible that the same robber who has been working in Colton is transferring his activities to Redlands and other cities for a portion of the night, Chief Diess asserted, although he does not believe this is the case. To date, footprints have proved the most valuable clews the officers have received in their investigations of the robberies.

I G'ty Council Will Appoint Test Board for Electricians at Next Week's Session Next Wednesday the Redlands city council Is scheduled to appoint a board of examiners, whose duty It will be to ascertain the qualifications of electricians and contractors desiring to handle Red-lands work. The appointments will be in keeping with the city's new electrical ordinance, which will become effective Feb.

15, 30 days after its final passage by the city council. The board of examiners, which will be composed of Building Inspector M. E. Armstrong and two electrical experts, will arrange test3 to be given applicants for certificates to operate in Redlands. The ordinance also provides for the collection of examination fee's.

Attorney May Present Opinion The new ordinance was passed by the city council Jan. 15 with the approval of every member of the board except Theodore Krumm. The latter voted "no" on the grounds that the ordinance is in effect nothing more than a legislative move to keep outside electri-' clans from competing with Red-lands contractors. He called that "clas3 legislation" and questioned constitutionality of the measure. City Attorney Walter 'J.

Hartzell may give the council an opinion on the ordinance next Wednesday. Such an opinion was asked by Mr. Krumm. Other Communities Have Ordinances "Practically all leading communities of Southern California have such ordinances and examining boards," the council was advised by F. J.

Connolly, executive secretary for the southern division of California Electragists. "I am not prepared to say whether constitutionality of the ordinances would be upheld in the higher courts, but the fact remains that Los Angele3 and. some other cities have jailed elec tricians who Insisted upon operat ing without paying their fees and passing the examinations required bv the law. "The only disadvantage at present i3 that no two cities have the same ordinance. The California state chamber of commerce is studying a uniform ordinance, which will hfi.

sent, the state legislature later with the hope that control of the electrical industry can be vested in the state. "First, however, the state cham ber nf commerce wants to see a majority of California cities pass their own ordinances, thus snow' ing that they are interested in such legislation. Says Industry Has Advanced "There is an increasing need for legislation of this type. Just as the radio and electrical refrigeration branches of the electrical industry have advanced, so have the electrical wiring needs increased during the last five years. Greater demands are being made upon the same old sockets and a dangerous fire hazard may result If electricians are not forced to keep astride of the new developments in equipment and methods of installation.

"In Los Angeles, for instance, it has been found necessary during the last year to prohibit installation of convenience outlets in bath: rooms. The public does not realize the danger of using electrical apparatus under certain precarious conditions and the only effective means of solving the problem is legislating against such hazards." Armstrong Hopes Work Will Improve Building Inspector Armstrong believes that the new ordinance will be effective in other ways. Some JUU3 111 ACUiaima yg done, over as many as three times because of the Ignorance of electricians or their attempt to slight their work for sake of greater profit, he Bald.

Promoter Claims Smiley Heights Tourist Hostelry Should Be Under Way Promptly Announcement of 1930 committees was the principal feature of yesterday's meeting of Redlands chamber of commerce directors, over which H. S. Williamson presided in his new capacity as head of the booster organization. The board also heard a few words of encouragement from Verne H. Mattson, who claimed that Los An geles hotel interests had signed a contract with the MonU Vista syndicate of Redlands and are ready to proceed with a tourist hotel for Smiley Heights.

It was indicated during and after the meeting that the hotel project is further along than it ever has been before. Never before have the Redlands interests behind the project stated that a contract actually has been completed, said A. E. Isham, secretary of the chamber of commerce. "The contract was signed only after it had reached a stage that was satisfactory to all parties concerned," Mr.

Mattson stated, "and I' believe it is entirely fair to all. local syndicate has used great care in going into the matter and there seems little chance for failure now. Claims Pretentious Homes Are Planned "The heights hotel, however, seems to me only a small portion of the Immediate benefit to be derived. At least two persons of wealth have let their contracts for construction of beautiful residences here, having held off mere ly to be assured that the heights hotel plan would go through, Others are coming and Redlands property will soon be worth as much or more than any in Beverly Hills or Hollywood hills. In fact, the people who are to invest in homes in the heights tracts are the class who ate used to paying big prices." The East State street hotel plan is not entirely dead, according to Mattson's report.

Subscriptions to date are $6,800, with $1,500 more promised and approximately $500 in salvage assured. The total needed to purchase the lot, according to the proposition of Kauff-man Bros, of Los Angeles, is With the amount available so close to realization, Allen Wheaton and Phillip Harris, of the committee, believe it "would be just too bad" if allowed to pass without taking advantage of the opportunity. The committee was asked to continue its efforts.

At Granite wash pass, west of Salome, several maintenance crews were at Plans are being made by ArizoVia to improve the road directly from Vicksburg to Quartzslte, thus shortening the distance 17 miles to that point.

"At Salome, for which the pen of Dick Wick Hall and his Salome Sun gained fame, we are halted at the quarantine station, and find time to look at the signs erected by the famous humorist and the picture of his frog which couldn't learn to swim. "Beginning a little west of Agulla and for 10 miles toward Wlcken-berg, the road passed through a section of heavy soil, which needs graveling to be at its best in wet weather, but which is at present in very good condition. For the balance of the distance to Wickenberg, we find good gravel and dirt road. Since leaving Blythe at 7:40 a. we have traveled 134 miles, and get to Wlpkenberg at 1 p.

m. for lunch. We have made a comfortable trip at a little less than 30 miles an hour for what is considered the difficult part of the route. Wickenberg is perhaps the most beautiful point on the route. It is a town of about 2,300 people, nestling among the hills containing gold and vanadium mines, and recently, numerous "dude" ranches.

"From Wickenberg, for the next 30 miles, the highway is of gravel construction and well maintained, and the last, 24 mile3 are of concrete pavement. After spending an hour in Wickenberg at lunch, we arrived in Phoenix shortly after 3 p. having covered the 375 miles from Riverside in 11 hours' actual riding time. Some drivers could probably have made the trip in 10 hours or even less. Yuma Route Not So Easy "We returned by way of Yuma, and found the first 57 miles from Phoenix to Gillespie dam to be paved.

For the next 20 miles, however, almost to Gila Bend, the route offers one detour after another through the sand, which slowed us up considerably. From Gila Bend, west for 40 miles, the road Is loose gravel with high banks sloping off to the sides In many sections and chuck holes in abundance. Near Tartron, the highway is exceptionally rough and in need of maintenance work. "For the next 52 miles, there Is a washboard road, with loose gravel In several sections, and very dusty ana tiresome to drive. We had lunch at Wellton, 161 miles west of Phoenix, at 1:30 p.

a total of nve and one-half hours of actual driving time which could not easily nave been lessened with safety. "Eight miles west of Wellton, we struck hard surfaced road again, taking us over the heavy grades of the Gila mountains and the long stretch of desert to Yuma, which is 194 miles from Phoenix. "We pass -through another quarantine station at Yuma and enter upon the excellent stretch of pavement which replaced the plank road over the sand dunes west of Yuma, and which is an engineering achievement Fifty-eight miles west of Yuma, we come to El Centro, arriving at that city a little before 4 p.m. "From EI Centro, we drove the 169 miles to Riverside in 5JA hours. This made an actual driving time of ,12 hours for the 421 miles of the Yuma route." Pneumonia Attack Proves Fatal To Thomas M.

The decorations Interesting Story of Boyhood Is Told of Famous U. S.

Singer When the famous American baritone, Lawrence Tibbett who will be heard on The Spinet concert at the Redlands high school auditorium Feb. 5, was recently singing in concert at Phoenix, an Interesting story came to light It was. to the effect that in boyhood his acting in a school play was of such power that older children had, to laugh to keep back tears, while the small tots present, not being hampered with grown-up airs, wept audibly. None knew then that In years to come young Lawrence Tlbbett's powers as singing-actor would sweep an audience at the Metropolitan opera house, New York, to the greatest demonstration of enthus iasm ever witnessed in its history, And each season since has wit nessed successes as brilliant as his first This Phoenix reminiscence, given out by a school friend of now living there, happended at the Man ual Arts high school, Los Angeles, where Tibbett gained his general education. There, too, he was given fine 'foundation in dramatic art in the classes of Miss Maude Howell, now stage-manager for George Arliss.

Fired with enthusiasm for acting, the boy Lawrence took prominent part in many plays given under Miss Howell's direction. This particular one, reviewed in The Artisan, a school journal, and preserved for years by Tlbbett's Phoenix friend, was "Snow White." In it, Tibbett played the role of hunts man. The Artisan, In Its review of the occasion, said: "Lawrence Tibbett made the best kind of huntsman. As an actor he knows all the tricks of the trade, and he used them to specially good advantage when he begged for mercy from the queen. During the scene with the hunts man, the pathos that was brought out was cruelly real.

"The afternoon audience had to resort to laughter to keep from crying. Though students who have reached the high school age do not like to show the emotional side of their, natures, the little' tots from Forty-second street grammar school, who were the guests of Manual Arts, did not attempt to contain their feelings, but wept audibly." Mrs. Jean Radley of Joliet, arrived in Redlands yesterday to make her home at the Wlssahlckon Inn. Williams was consoled with an ornamented match holder. A two course supper completed the delightful evening.
