When the steamship Port Hunter,

to Uncle Sans soldiers overseas, was
wrecked off the Cape it was found that
salvaged clothing rotted two days af-
ter it had been taken from the salt
sea. But the thrifty and ingenious
Yankees here found that by washing
the clothing in fresh water as soon as
it was brought ashore it was as good
as new.
So the fishermen forgot their travis

hooks on the ends of long poles. At
night the fleet would sail home laden

Everything was going fine with the

work of salvage, suddenly came to
the realization that washing with fresh
water prevented the clothing from rot

issued an order to the headquarters OF

vestigation of the Port Hunter and the
possibility and ACCESSIBILITY of making
an attempt to salvage the cargo. Mean

with his machine listing at an angle

front wheel off the ground and rode
that way. Turning his machine with
an acuteness that skidded him all the
way around he started on the return

arms in the semaphore code, signaled.
"That's all there Is to it."

Misfortune of a peculiar kind has
followed the Kemp family, pioneers
of the Imperial valley in Oregon and
well Known through the connection of
the men with its development. Three
of the Kemp brothers have each lost
an arm within a year, the last to
meet the misfortune being a soldier
in the trenches in France during the
last days of the fighting.
Just year ago Harold Kemps
hand was caught In the "auger' of
cotton gin, into which his right arm
was drawn and mangled so badly that
amputation was necessary. Two
months later Harley Kemp, a younger
brother, lost his left arm in the same
gin and In much the same manner
Recently the news came from France
that a piece of shell had struck F. o.
Kemp and carried away his right arm.
The last victim was married, his wife
residing in Yuma, Arix.
