The scanty returns from the pean
hunting in the Walnut River at Win
field have not prevented the reniiza
ton of a considerable profit from an
other phase of the industry-pearl
Smelling. Tons of the shells of the
mussels which have supplied the in
centive for the hopes of sudden wealth
are now piled along the gravel bars
awaiting shipment to the button fac
tory at lola
The activity in shell gathering was
promoted by the degree team of Tohee
Tribe of Improved Order of Redmeu
for the benefit of it's team fund. Re
Gently a large force of the tribe
turned out to gather up the shells.
The women joined in the work by pre-
pairing a delicious picnic dinner which
was partaken of by some two score
persons at the noon hour.
The Walnut River is the lowest IT
has been known to be since the settle
ment of the country. Miles of gravel
bars, heretofore under water, and the
habitat of millions of mussels, are ex-
posed These bivalves have been I'M
disturbed for years, and some have at
tanned enormous size. The finding of
a few pearls in some. of them sent
practically all of the idle population
of Winfield to pearl hunting. Several
valuable pearls were found, but the
opening of thousands of shells yielded
nothing for the labor. In fact, the
mussels in deep water are not the
ones that develope the pearls; the
agitation of water and sand currents
on the shallow rifles, being the cause
of the irritation that makes the pearl
In this wholesale raid on the BIZ
valves of the river the hunters were
not destroying life; the recession OF
the waters had left them high and
dry, and the hot sun had already
done the work OF destruction. The
hunters only profited by the conditions
existing And while little was made
in pearl hunting, good pearl shell is
worth SO a ton. Because of the
clearness of the water of the Walnut.
the shell of this locality is unusually
clear and brilliant. Very little pink
or black shell, kinds that are not
wanted by the button makers, are
found. Tohee Tribe will send a car
load, thirty tons, or more, for which
it will receive more than $500. About
three-fourths of the shell is wasted in
the manufacture and the labor cost
is large factor.

American Business Hustle.


Here is an instance of the thorough
ness with which England's CONNER
cial rivals do business. A leading
municipality in the far east is order
ing a large quantity of electrical ma
terial, and the head of the department
concerned was authorized to visit Ger
many, Great Britain and the United
States to inspect plants. He crossed
to America first and found that the
American agent from the city from
which he came had notified every
manufacturer of his visit and his mis-
sion, with the result that when he
landed he. received a sheaf of letters
of invitation from manufacturers, and
of offers of hospitality. AS result,
he saw everything he wanted under
exceptionally favorable conditions,
and every courtesy was shown to him.
The German representative is doing
precisely the same, but nothing what
ever has been done by or on behalf
of the British manufactures. If the
representative wants to see anything
in this country he has to dig it out for
himself, for nobody seems to care for
the business and nobody knows of it.

FOUR DEAD IN A MOTOR RACE
In a Nashville Contest, the Machines
Couldn't Avoid Wreckage on
the Track.

Nashville, Tenn.-Death claimed
heavy toll in the Labor Day motor
car races at the state fair grounds
when four of the six high powered
cars entered in the 25-mile free-for-
all were wrecked opposite the big
grandstand wherein were packed five
thousand persons. Four of the dare
devil racers were killed, two received
minor injuries, while four escaped in
juries.
Two of the cars, with their drivers
and mechanicians, flashed through
the tangled wreckage of broken cars
and MANNED bodies at a speed of six
ty miles an hour, escaping injury.
