HERBERT DARRELL
PER|SHED IN SNOW
Fate of a Well Known Miner Who
Started for the Arctic Circle Is
Indicated by the Recent Finding of
His Effects in Cache by an Es-
kimO.
(By Associated Tress)


Dawson, Y. T., December What
seems to be a definite indication o
the fate of Hubert Darrell, we'll
known arctic explorer and former
Klondyke miner and prospector, was
secured recently on the arctic coast
by Bishop Stringer. Darrell had trav-
elled, trapped and mined in ond about
Dawson for year before going to the
Mackenzie Valley. The traces of him
were in the vicinity Of the Anderson
river, eastward from the Mackenzie.
Two or three years ago natives brot
in word that they had found an in
scription on a tree in that locality
which they took to be his farewell
message. Bishop Stringer this sum-
mer met the natives who saw the in
scription and had them show him a
copy. They could not read English,
but had made copy Of the letters as
we'll as they could. The bishop reports
that he learned that a camera and
other equipment were found which
would indicate that Darrell perished
after the inscription was written and
that at the time of the writing the
man was in no danger.
Darrell is.supposed to have perished
in the winter of 1910 or 1911. Bishop
Stringer spent many hours with the
natives who last saw him alive. He
had his camp on the Anderson river,
,en or fifteen miles from the camp of
the Eskimos, whom he visited for the
asst time about November Is, 1910. In
the following spring visiting Eskimo
found Darrell had left his camp, and
on tree he had made the following
inscription:
1910
Got frozen 112.
October 4th
Leave here
Today, November "a
Westward
For Mackenz 10
River
Hubert Darrell.
Bishop Stringer interprets this to
read: 1910. Got frozen in October,
4th. Leave here today, Nivemper "a,
westward, for Mackenzie river" Dar-
rell left his camp and was never seen
again. In March 1916, an Eskimo
found his camera and some other ar
ticles in cache fifty miles away, and
signs of a camp, but the explorers
body was not found.

SHOOT FOR PRIZE
At HOLTY|LLE
Home Guards to Gather in NeighbOr-
ing City ON New Years Day to Com
pete in Shooting at Targets for the
Money Offered by the Board of Su-
pervisOrs.

The winner of the shooting contest
to be held here on New Years day be-
tween teams from the four Imperial
Valley Home Guard Companies will be
awarded a prize of $75. The second
best team will get prize of $25.
This is the sense of a resolution
passed yesterday by the board of sup
ervisors, appropriating $100 for the
purpose.
This step of the supervisors was
taken to encourage good marksman-
ship among the home guards. Re-
Gently the board gave $3.50 in prizes to
the best drilled companies. Holt
vile won the first prize and Imperial
got second.
The local campany has already be-
gun it's practice for the shooting con-
test. A team went out Sunday and
put in several hours at the range.
In a week or two there will be a
try-out to get the best material for
the rifle team and a team of five men
will be selecter to enter the contest
for this city.

Forty Chinese laborers, direct from
the land of their birth, arrived this
moning in bond from San Francisco
and were taken across the line into
Mevicali Immediately. They were ac-
companied from San Francisco by A..
Cook of the passenger department Of
the Southern Pacific company. He
brought them in a special sealed car,
and experienced no trouble in any
way.
Thirty-nine of the Chinese had been
in America previous to 1917. They
had returned to China for visits and
were glad of the opportunity to come
again and work here. They have al
ready been assigned to ranches in
Mexico, within few miles of the
border, and after their baggage is ex-
amined by the Mexican customs Off
cials, will be taken to the places
where they are to work. Their be-
longings were not inspected by the
American customs officials.
The Chinese came from Hongkong
on the Tenyo Maru, a japanese ves-
sci, which went aground before her
trip had been we'll begun, and was
delayed ten days. These were the
first of 500 which have been secured
for labor in Mexico.

FEDERAL AGENT
ASKS COMPRESS
Cotton Should Be Condensed to the
Smallest Possible Bulk, Says u. s.
Cotton Expert-COmpresses Should
Be Equipped With the Latest Ma
chinery for Doing This.

Extraordinary measures to compress
cotton to higher density, as a means
toward economy in use of freight cars,
tonnage and storage space, will help to
meet war transportation congestion, it
is pointed out by the bureau of markets
af the United States Department of
Agriculture.
Unless such efforts prevent the sit
uation from becoming more acute,
statement of the bureau asserts, both
producers and manufacturers will be
handicapped because Southern mar
kets will be glutted with cotton while
the mills will lack raw material.
Methods of COMPRISING
The round bale compress, gin COM
press and high density compress
methods should be used to the fullest
extent the bureau says. Such meth
ods will produce bales of from 80 to
35 pounds a cubic foot density and
will save from 80 to so per cent in
freight cars. Transportation compa-
nies, says the bureau, chould cooper
ate to the fullest extent by giving
rates, if possible, that will induce
shippers to compress all cotton from
30 to 35 pounds per cubic foot be-
fore shipment.
In addition to the compression
methods suggested, it is advised that
the size of flat or uncompressed bales
be standardized. The 54-inch by 27-
inch gin box is recommended for use
by all local ginners, the great major
ty Of whom have adopted it.
Fiber Not Damaged
Compression of cotton bales from
80 to 35 pounds cubic foot does not
apparently damage the cotton fiber,
the department advises, after urelim-
mary spinning tests made on cotton
compressed IN the various ways men,
toned.
It is believed that cotton dry
enough to be ginned without produc-
ing gin cut cotton can be compressed
to a density of 30 to 35 pounds per
cubic foot without producing water
packed or otherwest damaged fiber.
IGinners are advised, however, to gin
no cotton excessively damp and allow
no leakage on the steam tramper.
