calling attention to the fact that dis

announcing that the reservation will
be protected, by whatever means are

uouncement that vilhjalmur Stefans-
son found the abandoned cache of Sir

The McClintock cache was located
by Stefansson who reports that he
found everything In almost as good
condition as when placed there in
1873 Articles of clothing he found
particularly well preserved and much
better in quality than the clothing of

particular cities in certain way and
the poorest way of all to approach
almost any city is by train. Never go
to Cadiz by rail. Better far, if you are
in midSpain and must use the roads
or the tedious ferrocaril, go to Seville
or over to Tangier In Africa and make
one of those little voyages that are
regularly available, in order to come
upon Cadiz by way of the sea. 1t is
generally acknowledged that there is
no other sea approach in the world
that is so beautiful as this.
Cadiz at such times and in such cir
cumstances is glorious picture in
white and blue. She rises up from the
sea on small platform of limestone
rock which only very narrow 18TH
mus holds to the mainland. In a ma
jestic silver beauty the houses with
their azoteas, or fiat roofs, seem to
rise like fairy city above the deep
blue of the sea, their miradores or
view towers surmounting them All are
heavily coated with whitewash fire.
Quently renewed
Always White and Clean.
Thus the city is always white. quite
smokeless, and i~kept spotlessly clean.
1t glistens in the sun against the blue
Andalusian sky. with waters tapping
it nearly all around. The poets and
the descriptive writer's haye almost ex-
hausted themselves in their use of fine
cd 20 y
yet they feel they have failed. Span
iards call it their ''tazita de plata" or
silver dish; some of them say 1t is
more like "palacio de plata beauti-
fully chased, and from another aspect
they liken it to great alabaster ship
floating out upon the waters. No terms
are too strong In Which to speak of
Cadiz thus seen from the sea, for she
is indeed very beautiful, vertically "a
white pearl set in crown of sapphires
and emeralds."
The interior of no city could COM
p,etely match such an outside view.
but yet Cadiz, within, is good and
pleasant also, and is always extremely
clean. But it is a very practical place,
and though it has its cathedral with
a spire rising over all, 1t has little in
the way of art--one of the oldest cities
of Spain though it be-to attract the
visitors who need 1t for their linger-
ing at any place. 1t is a place to
wonder at, to tarry at for but little
while, and then to leave, knowing it
full well to be unforgettable But In
the new days of travelling that are be-
ginning, no person who wanders
toward the south Of Spain should,
through neglect. miss seeing Cadiz
from the water. 1t will live In his
memory when he has forgotten many
pictures. 1t viii hold its place in his
esteem even when he comes face TO
face with the Incompatible BAY OF
Naples.

on behalf OF Canadian millers by Mr..
G orge Mac DonalC, representing the
Quaker Oats Company and head Of the
delegation Of representative millers
which waited upon the Government yes
terday to discuss the serious situation
which the Canadian mills are facing. AS
a result of the Canadian Wheat Board
continuing the restriction on the price of
flour in the Canadian market, and the
lack OF an export market for Canadian
flour, an increase will be necessary to
get the rising cost Of manufacture. The
scarcity OF mill feed in c. NADIA is directly
traceable to the lack of a market for
flour and the consequent deer ase in the
volume OF domestic milling. The millers
state that they have asked the Govern
meut to modify the regulations, and CO.
operate with them in inducing foreign
buyers to AXE q reasonable proportion
of Canadian wheat. Vast quantities of
flour are said to be available in the United
States for export and this complexities
the Canadian problem. 1t is said thai
more than four thousand men have al
ready been thrown out of employment
by the forced closing of some of the
mills of which they are about five hun

HOW IDAHO COUNTY
GOT GRASSHOPPERS


Grangeville, Idaho Grasshoppers
were measured by the acre in Idaho
county this season, and the farm bu-
reau campaign for their destruction
is estimated to have saved the far
mers $2O5,329 on their crops.
More than 40 school districts were
organized to fight the pest; 27 grass
hopper meetings were held in two
months, with an attendance of 600
farmers.
Enough poisoned bran mash was
mixed to cover $3.50 acres. There were
2085 acres covered three times, the
grasshoppers being completely ex-
terminated each time. AS it was
known that an acre of grasshoppers
would destroy ten acres of grain, hay
or garden truck, the acreage of crops
saved from ruin was computed as TO-
$50. Estimating the average value
of crops at only $40 per acre, the
gross saving was $2O8,5O0.
The cost of getting the bran mash
to the farmers who co-operated with
the farm bureau was 1921. Expendi-
ture of time by farmers in mixing and
the poison was not es-
timated.
