 The crowd was under the gud- ance of C. P Huntsman. who is as sociated with the Mcdonald Land Co. of Fresno and Los Angeles and the buyers were l.. Bell. n L. Clodfelter. Harley Smith. C. C.. Ridgway. J NJ Dyer. Cecil Smith and otto Luhdorf.
 The crowd arrived about D. m Monday by auto from Wilcox. where they had spent the day looking over the Sulphur Spring Valley. and Tuesday was spent driving and viewing land around Bowie and San simon
 These men all expressed them
 
 selves as greatly surprised with the Bowie valley and the great possi. bilities and the present state of agricultural development. Most of the party had it seems expected to find a vast barren desert or COW  range. but when they consulted the [. s weather chart covering the rainfall at Bowie since 1867 which shows an average precipitation of 1913 inches. and viewed the display of fine agricultural products on dis. play in the Enterprise office, all of which were grown last year without irrigation. many of the samples hay. ing captured first prize at the state Fair. 1t is not to be wondered at that these men readily grasped the grea, possibilities Of the Bowie valley
 anu '"es ei shoWe0 their faith by making purchases of from one half 10 full section each of state lands.
 The whole crowd seemed mpcb interested in the Enterprise alfalfa patch in the front yard. it being the second cutting for this spring and as this is the first week in sday is almost ready for the second cutting
 This party was composed of actual farmers. fruit and raisin growers of the Joaquin valley. and when they get to the Bowie valley they will make good

phe Red Cross drive is in full swing
here and contributions are being made
in a way thai is fully satisfactory to
the captains, not only in amounts but
still more in the spirit in which they
are given. At the dinner of the cap
tains at the Hotel Rogerson last night
and the meeting which followed all
reports showed that the greatest en-
thusiasm was displayed by the people
everywhere. The first twenty-five
men approached donated the total
sum of $5550 The committee are all
busy today. Last night the captains
asked the city council for donation
for the fund and the matter was put
ND to City Attorney John q. Davies to
determine whether such action could
be taken legally.
Reports from all surrounding towns
indicate that the same spirit is being
shown, while the country districts are
on fire.
At Hollister last night, following
I an address by President Turner X.
NNackman of the Twin Falls CONNER
cial club. more than $500 was sub
scribed and the sum of $500 Will
easily be raised there all It'd. A big

SALARY DID NOT JIBE
WITH INDISPENSIBILITY

LONDON, June 19.-Appearing be-
fore an army tribunal recently a
firm of munition importers claimed
exemption for a man % years old be-
cause of indispensibility. The i'm
porters asserted their business had
been increased 500, 100000 by the war.
partially through the efforts of the
man for whom they claimed exemp-
tion.
How much do you pay this man -
asked the magistrate. eve pay him
$3.50 annually" answered a member
of the firm.
"The salary hardly corresponds to
the profits" grumbled the magistrate.
''If we grant this man an exemption
and he asks for an increase of salary
will you give it to him"
Il really don't know" replied the
employer.
"Well, suppose he should meet with
an accident what would you DOR
queried the magistrate.
THAT would be only temporary"
$50 is the war;" fairly yelled the
court and ordered the man to join up.

ly heard. The crash of martial music
stirs historic Pennsylvania avenue.
Soldiers and sailors mingle with the
crowds, but they attract little atten-
ton. Bugles sound, the shrill fife
rings over the noise of traffic as the
citizens go about their business as
usual"
In the midst of the most important
period since southern armies smash
ed at the capitol's defenses so years
ago, Washington refuses TO believe
there is cause for anything more than
a feeling of implicit confidence that
with every man and woman 'in the
play" the Kaiser will be soundly
thrashed and wars darker side will
never throw a shadow over its gay
street.
There are guards at the govern
ment buildings, where official passes
or permits are demanded. This about
sums up the war atmosphere visible
to the casual observer in Washington.
Underneath it all there is the real,
grim push of preparation for the tt
tantic conflict, but these activities do
not crop out on the surface. The
people radiate confidence. Their at
ltude towards the great army now in
process of organization is: Eat 'em
up boys, and get home soon. Well
wait for dinner"

NEW YORK, June 16.-Pretty sew
enteen-year-old Ruth Cruger will go
down in police annals as one OF the
5000 persons lost annually in the
streets of New York. Thanks to one
of her own sex who clung to the
search after friends, police and par
ents gave her up She was found
late today dead. Her body was buried
ten feet below the concrete flooring
in a dingy basement of the bicycle re-
pair shop of Alfredo Cochi into which
she walked in the afternoon of Feb
ruary 13 to have skates sharpened. A
stout rope bound her feet which had
almost entirely disappeared under the
action of the quick lime enveloping
her body Three days after the girl
disappeared Cochi sailed for Italy.
The police conducted a nationwide
search and ran down scores of clues.
Mrs. Grace Humiston, a woman law
yer, refused to quit the search after
everybody else gave up, directed the
diggers who found a carefully hidden
grave snder the bicycle shop. Ths
