ARE MOTOR CARS
TO COST MORE2
SCARCITY OF RAW MATERIAL
LIKELY TO BRING ABOUT
ADVANCE.
INCREASE IN
PRICES FOR RUBBER CINE
OF THE CAUSES.

Will there be an advance in the
prices OF automobiles in the near
future? This query has gone bobbing
up and down for several days. It's
answer generally has been that nearly
| every concern that has announced
1910 model specifications and data
has given the price of the car for
next year.
But the feeling that there will be a
general rise in the price of complete
cars all over the country will not
down. The short supply of many ma
terials that enter into the manufac-
ture of the automobile is given as the
certain cause of an advance.
One company, in an editorial discus
sion of the problem says:
The demands of the automobile in
dustry for raw materials have reached
point where resources of allied in
dustries have become inadequate. For
some of the raw materials the demand
has grown at a rate that has almost
completely exhausted the visible sup
ply, with the inevitable result that the
prices of these commodities have
scared to unaccustomed heights be-
cause of the strain imposed by the
demand On depleted market.
Take the item of rubber. We can
still recall the time when crude up
river Para gum could be bought in the
open market at 35 cents a pound.
Only about a year ago the price was
we'll below the dollar mark Today
crude rubber sells at s210, with no
prospect of decline and with an al
most appalling scarcity of the ma
terial. Yet wheels must be shod with
rubber tires, and the automobile man
ufacturer is compelled to purchase his
tire equipment at much higher cost
than was ever eXacted of him before.
The heyday of the rubber pool ar
rangement pales into insigniffcance
when the present-day price of rubber
is considered"
THE demand for special steels, it is
pointed out, is unprecedented, $50
that it has become a matter of abso-
lutte fact that the automobile man.
tacturer is governed in his plans, not
by the amount of business he can
command, but by the amount of raw
material he is able to obtain" The
supply of trimming materials and hair
used for the upholstering of automo-
biles, it is declared, is practically ex-
hausted.
Nor are these conditions confined
to the automobile manufacturer
proper; they are also found in all es-
adjustments making the accessories
forming part of the complete motor
car" the writer continues. THE
scarcity Of good labor and the diff
Guilty Of securing raw material also
contribute to the reasons which make
for increased prices in these lines"

DISCOVERED BY ACCIDENT.
Fortuitous Circumstance Which Re
veaIed Great Ruins of uxmal.

Some great scientific discoveries
were made by accident. The recent
arrival of an expedition in charge OF
professor of Yale university at
Cuzeo; the ancient capital of the In
cas- brings to mind the interesting
ruins found in that vicinity, says the
Youths Companion. DIR. Felix Os-
valid, in "Summerland Sketches"
gives an account of famous discov-
cry made in Mexico in 1928.
Don Pancho Yergos, Yucatan
planter, and his guest DR.. Lewis
Mitchell, a Scotch surgeon, returning
from hunting expedition, were seek
ing shelter from a threatening storm.
They CHANGED to come across an In.
dian wood chopper, who guided them
to an old Indian temple in the forest.
They lighted fire, and having not
iced some curious sculptures, the men
proceeded to inspect the interior OF
the building. The masonry was Gov
cred with dust and cobwebs, but an
application of wet rags brought TO
light rows of bas relief.
After daybreak DR.. Mitchell rum
mayed in a pile Of debris and I'M
earthed the torso of little image,
which he pocketed With an enthusi-
asm that puzzled the planter as well
as the Indian.
On leaving Don YergO's house the
doctor requested his host to question
the Indians Whereabouts in regard to
ruins and then rode away, having
promised to return the coming year.
He was hardly out of sight when
Don Yergos remarked to his Indian
servant
Isn't it strange that We have not
lived here for lifetime and not sus-
Dected the existence Of such curios-
ity? Why, that caba11ero tells me some
of his countrymen would buy those
stones for their weight in gold.'

Indian, grinning. He ought to like

WOMAN WANTS TO DIG
UP HER DEAD BABY

After being told that her child was
dead by the woman to whom she had
given it, Porto Rican woman is now
doing everything possible to have the
body exhumed and make sure that it
is her child and no other.
She was notified of the ehild's death
too late to attend to the funeral as
she is living in town and the Hawai-
ian family. to which she had given it,
had moved to Puuloa. She seems to
have some reason for thinking that
the child is not hers and persists in
her demands TO have the body dug ap.
The Hawaiian woman. whose name Is
Schmidt, registered the dead child 3
name as such in her report to the board
OF health and gave its nationality as
part-Hawalian. Learning afterwards
that the child was Porto Rican the
board gave orders that the BODY he
eXhumed, but the officer sent to carry
the order into effect found that the
coihn was so fiimsy that there was little
nope Of getting II and its contents to
town IN a whole condition and il was
not done. The corrections have been
made in the report and the matter of
elimination left to the mother If she
wants it done.

URCH|N
LIVES IN STYLE
Has Suite of Rooms in the Royal
Hawaiian Hotel Where He
AmuSeS Himself.

A wharf rat, the term this time APP
piled to that peculiar species of the
Young idea which hangs about the
docks, was yesterday discovered by
Chief McDuffie to be the proud pos
SCISSOR of a suite Of rooms in the Royal
Hawaiian Hotel.
He was brought to the chief by a
boatmen who said that the boy, who
is Chinese, stole his oar-loeks and when
McDufie settled down to get his story
and asked him where he lived, the
youngster replied, SIN the Royal Ha-
waiian Hotel. - cd
Being naturally skeptical in taking
such statement from ragged street
urehin, the Chief asked him what was
the number of his room. The boy said
it was No. and pulled out hotel key
to prove it. With such evidence Me-
Duffie had no alternative but to go to
the hotel and investigate. Sure enough
the boy had big room with private
bath and another room opening into it.
The manager of the hotel stated that
a Chinaman had brought the boy to
him about nine days ago, saying that
his father lived in Kona and would
settle up later. The other Chinaman
made good for the boy and he was
given room.
Since then petty thieving has been
going on in the rooms and in the hotel
generally and McDuffie found pound
of butter and other articles in bureau
drawer. There was shoe shining
stand and box also in the room to add
| to the comicality of the situation.
The boy was taken back to the jail
and McDufie tried to connect him with
| the theft of Jungclaus' watch and
| money, which were stolen in the hotel
but the boy denies any knowledge of
| this. His name is LIE On Fay and says
| that his fathers name is lie Chong. He
| had been sent to the Mill IS Institute but
had got into trouble there and left and
| had been hanging around blacksmith
shop previous to taking apartments in
the popular hosiery. He has admit
ted selling stolen bicycle for 81 sc
and while he probably stole it also, he
states that he was forced to sell it by
| Portuguese boy.

If Mrs. Mary Atcherley can raise the
necessary funds, she and her family
will go to Samoa, where all is serene
and where Chester Doyle hollers not in
sewers.
Mrs. Atcherley has made up her mind
that Hawaii is not for her and hers,
aud as San Francisco won t have the
Atcherley family without clear bill
of health for the doctor, the sunny
isles of the South Seas will be given
an opportunity to harbor the doctor s
wife and her family, including the doe
tor himself.
Yesterday a member of the mer-
chants association was approached by
Mrs. Atcherley, in search of contri-
button, and several others have recelv-
ed like visits. In fact Mrs. Atcherley
has made a speciality of the calling
business Of late And her solicitations
have not been entirely vain, according
to rumor. At least one wealthy capt.
talist has promised to come through
with 100 large, round dollars, or their
equivalent in gold or paper, just as soon
as he has some assurance that the con-

Standing Of Teams.

The seventh annual North Dakota
interscholastic track and field meet,
held at Grand Forks Saturday, was a
most successful event in every re-
spect. Seven new state records were
established and one former record was
equalled.
The Valley City high school team,
with the three star athletes, Davidson,
Hemp and Runyon, carried off first
honors. with 45 points to their credit,
and in addition won the relay race.
The other schools finished in the or
der given above.
Story of Meet.
The first event Of the afternoon the
220 hurdles went to Thompson,N of
Park River, by a safe margin, al
though there was a pretty fight on the
stretch between Read and Kneeshaw
for second, the former winning by a
few feet. The shot put went to
Davidson of Valley City, with Tay-
lor, Of st. Thomas, next. The st.
Thomas man was the biggest man in
the meet, and promises to do wonders
next year in the weight events
Hemp, of Valley City, got the start
in the 50-yard dash and won handily
with his teammate, Runyon, second
In the 120-yard hurdles Brett of
Park River fulfilled expectations and
won in walk There was a close race
between Thompson and Stevens. both

yard dash owen, OF Grand Forks

been passed to took a good lead and
running in splendid form, kept up his
pace to the end. Runyon, the dread

sprint near the end, but the Grand
Forks runner passed the finish win

Bathgate athlete, proved all to the
good in the high jump and pole vault

competitors coming near his mark OF

JACK JOHNSON IS
GOING FAST PACE

Chicago, May 24.--Lack OF common
sense Is likely to cost Jack Johnson
the heavyweight championship before
he can secure all the benefits which go
with the title. Judging by the way the
big Ethiopian has been running amuck
without strong minded manager to
pick his matches 1t would not be very
much of a surprise to have the news
flashed over the wire johnson knock
ed out by Stanley Ketchel"
Stanley gets his crack at the con-
queror OF Burns at Colma next October,
and after watching Johnson work out
against OBrien in Philadelphia last
week, thinks he has royal chance of
being hailed the heavyweight champion
of the world thereby saving Jim Jeffries
the bother Of ever donning pair OF
boxing gloves.
Success seems to have turned the
head Of the big black. Ever since his
arrival in this country he has utterly
disregarded his physical condition, He
spent several weeks around Chicago
and paid little attention TO the training
FOR his match with O'Brien. II hitter
OF Kechei's ability had been against
the champion instead of o'Brien. john
son might have been forced to take he
count. Jack O'Brien has the following
to say Of the KetcheI- johnson match:
johnson isn't In Retchel's class
when IL comes to hitting and game
ness, two qualities that make real
champions invincible. think II the
negro ever gets into smuggling bee
with Ketchel at close quarters he will
be the frst TO 60 down."
