ABANDON HOPE
OF FINDING LOPEZ
Desperate Either Escaped
of Was Crushed Beneath
Cavein, Says Sheriff

Bingham, Utah. January 3.-An
hopes of finding Ralph Lopez dead or
alive in the Utah-Apex mine were
abandoned tonight.
Sheriff Smith withdrew his search
ers from the interior workings and
the guards from the portals, leaving
the mine unmatched for the first time
since November 27.
After killing two deputies in an un-
derground battle on November 30, max
ing six in all he had killed within
eight days, Lopez called to his pur-
suers that more than six men would
have to sacrifice their lives If they
expected to capture him. No more men
were killed, but that he had escaped
was conceded by his pursuers tonight
Sheriff Smith declared that his sud
den determination to abandon the
search was reached only after he was
satisfied that the desperate either had
escaped or had been crushed to death
beneath some cave-in which would pre-
vent his body being found. However,
many miners planned to begin a search
on their own account tomorrow, hoping
that Lopez body was overlooked. A
reward of $1,000 was offered for his
capture or the recovery of his body.

Craze for MotorbOats
From Popular Mechanics.

From Popular Mechanics
Some idea of the popularity of the mo-
torboat is given by the latest statistics
which show that there are now 256 $50
motorboats, representing an investment
OF over S250,000,o0o in the United States
The distribution of this kind of water
craft is interesting as an indication of
the maritime tastes of the inhabitants of
the different sections of the country
Practically half of all the motorboats. or
155,SOo, are to be found in the Atlantic
states, where there are four to each loco
of population. In the Pacific states there
are $1,000 motorboats or - to each 1860
of population.
This big difference in the number per
capita between the Atlantic and Pacific
states is probablye due to the more ia
vorable conditions for pleasure boating
along the Pacific coast. BY far the big
gest section of the country, the middle.
western states. has only $4,000 motorboats,
practically the same as the Pacific states,
and an average of only one to each 1000
of population in the western states, where
there are more mountains and deserts
than water courses of any kind, the num-
Der of motorboats is only about 25O or
one to each 10000 of population

Here's a Useful Recipe

One of the most annoying and trouble
some things to be met each winter in
farm and country life is the question of
frogen water pipes, says the Country Cen
tleman This is especially so in districts
where there is no gas line, and where
plumbing is unprotected and open.
Each winter for several years / way
given all kinds of trouble and extra work
in this way as soon as the thermometer
reached the freezing point or lower. After
much experimenting I finally hit upon
the easiest, most inexpensive and surest
way to keep the frost Off the pipes. I
have recommended it to many persons
who have tried it and found II saves
many repair bills.
Melt an equal quantity of petroleum
vaseline-and of paraffin wax together.
and. after wiping the pipes perfectly dry,
apply with an old brush thick coat of
this mixture while it is hot. An old lamp
or torch will easily keep it in a liquid
state.
You will find that no matter how cold
the weather may get the frost cannot
penetrate this coat of grease. have
used this on water pipes that ran along
the ground unprotected, and not once
during the coolest weather did they
freeze up or give me the least trouble
Not Always the Rule
You kflnow the old saying-'give a dog
a bad name and it kills it'?'
