TIRESOlIE TRIP
 FINALLY ENDED

 on Boat and Trail

An arduous varied and altogether Interesting and adventurous Journey
 from thc lower Yukon Go Cordoya was experienced by O party of men and one woman who arrived in ths city on Sunday last on tho steam ship Cordova. and who. because of lbo limited accommodations on chat vessel determined to break their Journey here and await Che return ol thc steamship Northwestern be- fore resuming their journey to Seat lo. says Che Cordoya Times.
 The members Of Che party who arc now u Cordoya arc Mrs. E N. Was aoy ol Marshall Charles surridgc. .ront of Che White Pass G Yukon Company a. Holy Cross. and John c. ouu.u who conducts a radio station at Marshall These. with nine others. constituted a party which started from Marshall early iu October to go .o sr Michael to tayc Che steamship c0rl0va for Seattle
 When near Che mouth Of Che Yu- .ou thcs were oyer.akon by Che cold weather which caused so much inc convenience to travellers on tho upper Yukon. and were frozen ina Being
 aor. ol provisions. it was necessary That they get assistance at once. and Che whole party "mushcd" Co Che government wireless smuou at EeIt. at Che mouth of Che r.yor. which had been closed down for Che .aaon They broke into Che sta- Iol and Mr. Cuun. being am cx- port wireless man. started thc plant and got into communication with St Michael from which place assistance was promised However. a chinook coming mp m Che meantime their launch was released from thc feel and thcy proceeded by water Go st Michael first securing a small sup- oily Of provisions from the govern mcnt dredre at Che mouth Of Che Yukon.
 A. st Miehac. they found chat fh limited passenger accommoda- iaas of lbc cordoya had becn more han exhausted. and on special per- mIt that vessel was allowed to carry u excess Of her registered capacity They embarked from st Michael and ot Some their passenger list
 was again greatly augmented, men being compelled to bunk almost any where.
 Five days were consumed In thc trip from Nome to Akutan. and when nc Cordoya arrived at chat point sbo was practically without ou and uator so eager were the passen- gers for water that they hardly waited for Che vessel to dock. when uoy handed pitchers over Che side to attendants who procured supplies of sparkling. frcsh water for them

PETER GOES UP IN THE AIR
By THE STORY LADY

Peter had gone to the country to take Norah's mother a bundle. He got back in q very short time and came in with his eyes shining like stars.
 What do you think. girls? I was comin' along an it was hot an dusty an I thought I never would get back 10 town an I heard a buzzing right above me m 1 looked up an there was an airplane an it was gettin ready to light an I stood an watched it an it came right down in a big field real close. The man got out an did something to it an then he said Hello, Buddy" and I said Hello an ce said Coin to town?-just like he was in car an said Yes an he said Hop in an I did an he strapped me in an we went straight up an the wind blew around my ears an I shut my eyes a minnit an the next thing knew we was at the fair grounds an the man says Here's where we stop an I walked home an I'm the only kid on this street that ever rode in ar airplane."

REQUEST EXHIBITS
 FROM THIS VALLEY

With the International Soil Products Exposition in Kansas City only three weeks away, every grower of agricul- tural products in Maricopa county is urged to bring in his specimens for exhibit to Harry Welch, secretary of the chamber of commerce.
 Maricopa county is not only sending a special exhibit of her own, to com pete with the exhibits of other counties and provinces in the United States and Canada, she is also contributing to the state exhibit whcih is being prepared under the direction of Malcolm Fraser secretary of the Tucson Chamber of Commerce.
 Anything that grows in the Salt River valley is needed to make the exhibit complete. All kinds of fruits and grains, forage crois, vegetables, and root crops, are on the list for which premiums are being awarded at Kansas City.
 Success at the exposition will mean much to the valley in the matter of advertisement, and every effort ex- erted in the preparation of a first class exhibit will rebound to the advantage of the contributor.
 All work connected with the mount ing and preparation of products for display is assumed by the local cham Der of commrce, that growers will not have to do anything but bring them in to the chamber of commerce building.

COMMISSION TRIES
 TO STOP STAGE CO.

Declaring that 1t conducts an inter- national business and is therefore without the jurisdiction of the state corporation commission, the Coss Auto Stage company, operating between Tucson and Nogales. Sonora, yester- day refused to obey an order by that body to cease operation.
 The corporation commission, on it's side. calls attention to the fact that the Star Stage company, an older com petitor is the only company having the certificate of convenience and neces- sity" required by law, and that the Coss Auto Stage company's officers are liable to fine of S1,000, years" Imprisonment, or both, for it's viola ton.
 previous effort by the Coss com pany to secure this much needed cer- tificate, baked once before by the com mission, was squelehed for the second time yesterday. Kirk Moore, county attorney at Tucson, was called in con sultation, and tentative plans were laid for the prosecution of the Coss com pany.
 Further obstruction was placed in the younger lines pathway by it's rival, who brought an action for temporary injunction against the continued opera tion of the Coss company stage.
 In letter ef instruction, sent by the commission later in the day to the county attorney of Pima county, it is pointed out that while the commission has no power to set the rates of inter- national passenger traffic, it will in sist that no passengers be sold trans portation to the Mexican terminal and then permitted to descend from the stage before the destination in Sonora is rached.

INDIANS ACT A MYSTERY
Kansas City Star

(kansas City Star.)
 The region about Charlottesville, Mo-, is rich in lore about hidden gold and silver and mounds rich with pottery. Too there are great. strange caves to be found thereabouts, never ending subjects for speculation and wonder ment.
 A few years ago an Indian went to Charlottesville with severel skin maps and dug up pottery that was worth several thousand dollars He offered s1.500 to be allowed to dig into one mound near the town. However, the owner decided that if the mound was worth so much money for exploration purposes he would do the exploring. He did and found nothing.
 Some time later the Indian returned to that section, hired a man with a wagon and team and drove out into he country to spot where three pe- ean trees grew in a triangle. He dug town and unearthed two boxes, so heavy that a man could not lift one md of either He had them shipped way and to this day their contents much discussed mystery of that I ,ocalit.
