STILL FORDING STREAMS
Miss Magda Steinkamp, the brave lit
tie Ell Dorado County girl, who is
struggling to win a second prize in the
contest, has been heard from again
A gain of 500 in her score has enabled
her to get within the winning
limit once more In the first period she
finished as No. %. She is No. 25 at
present, but will have a hard fight on
her hands to maintain even that posi-
tion, as there are a number of very am
bilious contestants below her who will
be hard to keep down. Besides there
are a number who have not scored at
all yet, who will soon enter the run
ming and make the race interesting for
those who made an earlier start. Miss
Steinkamp still has swollen streams
and miry roads to contend with in her
travels in search of subscriptions for
The Call, but she says she is not dis
couraged.

are deeply interested in the visit to
that section of R. H. Sawyer a carpet
mating manufacturer of Maine, and
John H. Tull, formerly a resident of
Japan, who have been investigating
the advisability of growing reeds in
the tules for the manufacture of mat
ting. Great quantities of roots and
reeds, brought from Japan by TulI are
now being tested at the Chico
Experimental Station. The expert
ments have been most successful
and after an inspection of the
county under the chaperonage of
former Lieutenant Governor Alden
Anderson, TulI said that there was no
question that If the lowlands are
leveed SO as to keep out the flood
waters the grass could be grown with
wonderful success and would yield big
returns to the owners Of the land.
There is now a proposition under
consideration by a number of Sacra-
mento capitalists to form a company
to acquire large tract of the over
flow land for the purpose of planting
the roots, which will be imported from
Japan.
