HUNTERS DISAPPEAR
AND LEAVE NO TRACKS
Trappers Declare Missing Men
Must Have PeriShed in
SuOwStOrm

RIVER HOT SPRINGS, Wash, Oct.
24-Trappers are now of the opinion
that Fred Kloeber and Julius Kumle,
the missing hunters, perished in the
heavy snowstorm that fell Monday
night after they had left the hotel.
During fruitless search of four
days no trace has been found of the
men save the trail in the snow over
Rooster mountain, where it was lost by
the disappearance of the snow.
DR.. J. S. Kloeber headed a party of
25 men which left today for a thorough
search of the canyon three miles from
the hotel. The men were to form in a
skirmish line, each about 100 yards
apart, and beat back and forth until
every square yard of the canyon was
explored.

VALLEJO, Oct. 24.-Information has
been received at Mare island that the
ships of the Pacific fleet will not stop
at San Diego en- route from Honolulu,
but will proceed direct to Magdalena
bay. a stop at San Diego would ne
cessitate the loss of several days. 1t
is believed the new orders are the
result of the departments desire to
send the ships on an extended cruise
at the earliest practicable date.

AUTO REGISTERING
LESS LAST MONTH
Announcement of New Models
Affects the Sales of Motor
Cars in the State
Records Show Decrease in the
Number of Owners to Take
Out Licenses
By K. X. PH0mmedieu

Secretary of State Charles F. Curry
has issued the monthly list of the
motor vehicles registered in his office
from September l to October l. With
in that time $50 motor cars were regis
tered. This is falling off when COM
pared with the month previous of IL.
The difference is accounted for by the
announcement of the new models
earlier this year than ever before.
Heavy registration will not be resumed
until the agencies commence to make
deliveries of the 1909 product. In Sep
tember last year there were registered
$50 cars, or 95 more than this year.
Among those registered who are known
as automobile enthusiasts are George
P. Fuller, Charles 7. Crocker, j. A.
Folger, w. S. Davis, H. Shainwald, l.
A. Mares and A. p kirekhoff.
There was great jubilation yesterday
at the headquarters of the Diamond
rubber company when the result of
the Vanderbilt cup contest was an
nounced. The local house received
word that the winning car had been
carried to victory on Diamond tires, an
American product.
e. /. Cutting of the Standard motor
car company has received a letter from
the home office stating that T. b. Funk
of the Oklahoma motor car company
recently drove a Ford Six-Forty from
Oklahoma City to Kansas City, 42S
miles, in 26 hours. With him were Con
Mosely. one of Mr.. Funk's assistants;
Arthur Crumwine, a newspaper report
er, and ]. J. Jones, Ford dealer of
Wichita, Kan. Despite the weather
and the fearful condition of the roads
the car went through without a repair.
The mud in some places was over the
hubs. The occasion of the run was to
convey a message from Major Sales of
Oklahoma City to the Kansas City auto
association, extending them a welcome
to the city to which a run was to be
made the following day.
Rene j. Marx, manager of the local
house of the Renault Freres selling

ALFALFA IN CENTRAL IOWA.

Silas Igo, of Warren county,, Iowa, in
giving his experience in alfalfa culture in
a recent issue of Wallace Farmer says:
My experience in starting a small field
of alfalfa may be helpful to some of your
readers. Last year l determined to have
a field az alfalfa II 1t could be grown in
Warren county. l had a small field that
sloped to the south and both east and
west from the center. 1t was well drained
and very rich; had been in corn the year
before and the corn cut for fodder. AS
early as possible in the spring 1 sowed
this field to barley and cut 1t July 6. 1t
was off the ground by July Is and 10 loads
Of manure to the acre were scattered over
the ground with a spreader, then the disk
harrow was run over 1t, letting 1t lap half,
and then plowed six inches deep. 1t was
quite cloddy, due l think to running the
spreader over It while heavily loaded, and
we had to let 1t wait for rain. AS soon
as II rained l went over 1t with ~pulverizer,
tapping half, and followed with the har-
row every few days until the ground was
In as fine condition as an onion bed. BY
this time II was the Sd of September. The
alfalfa seed was sown on that date,
using a press drill and seeding both ways
of the field. 1 aimed to SOW 10 pounds of
seed each way, but only got about eight,
making 16 pounds to the acre. In a few
daya&I could see the little plants COM
ing through, and 1 got an excellent stand.
1t came through the winter in fine shape.
The ground crusted some early this
spring and March 20 1 narrowed 1t to
break the, crust. The 10th Of May the
ground was nice and mellow, and the al
falfa averaged eight inches high. 1t Is a
splendid stand and 1 have every reason
to believe ! am going to be successful
with 1t In this county"

That gave the lowest tones.

Upon q graveyard slab.
The inch-worm counted measures, while
The woodwind turned the leaves;
The quail, he had to whistle, for
Those m~ocking-birds are thieves.
The yellow-jacket's organ point
Was rather sharp and thin;
The kitten brought an article
To string the violin.
The cow tossed off a solo, for
No one could low so well;

Crushed by a rock-fall-and no ones
to blame"
No one to blame! though a timberless roof
Threatened his life every step he trod.
No one to blame. I'm defiance Of proof,
No one to blame; twas the Hand Of his
