MIGHT BE HISTORIC VESSEL
History of English County Tells of the Capture of "Mayfower" by
 Dunkirk Prvateers.

Aldeburgh the little fishing town on the Suffolk coast, has, It is not at all improbable, the right to claim the Mayfower the Pilgrim Fathers fa- nous ship, as her own. Aldeburgh, Woodbridge, SouthwOld were ship building centers at the time of the Spanish armada and after. In 1890 Aldeburgh is recorded as possessing 24 fishing vessels of 20 tons each. of which 16 were new within eight years. At the close of the sixteenth century and at the beginning of the seven teenth the east coast of England was suffering heavily at the hands of the Dunkirk privateers. A 1928 certifi- cate specifies 13 Aldenburgh ships, of the value of fG.SOO. lost between 1925 and 1927. of which four had been taken by the Dunkirkers. Of these 13 vessels two were of 35O. two of 32O. and two of-3OO tons. In the "Victoria History of the County of Suffolk" the chapter on Maritime History, foot note states that one of these 13 ships was a MayflOwer and that not inn probably this was the Pilgrims ves- sel.-Christian Science Monitor.

Ancient "WireIess TeIegraphy."

"Wireless telegraphy is new; wire less communication is as old as bib lical times" With this statement the National Geographic society at Wash ingtOn quotes from a communication by John A. Kingman, who sets forth the interesting theory that the island of Capri was an imperial wireless sta- tion of Ancient Rome. "We know that the ancients signaled in various ways and over long distances" he says "They signaled by beacon fires, by beacon smoke, by pigeons, by flags, and by shouting from one sentinel to another"

Chemical Rubber Found,

The mOtOrist who has been buying new tires will be pleased to read that Berlin has apparently produced at last an ersatz. or substitute, rubber which compares we'll, in essential qualities with the vegetable product and costs about twO-thirds- less. It is wholly a chemical compound. It may be used not only for tires, but for every sort of rubber goods.
 But this statement is based only upon reports considered trustworthy No facts have been made known by the Germans as to the possibilities of production upon the great scale necessary for successful competition with genuine rubber, nor has the sub- stitute been actually put on the mar ket

heightened by Presdenteect Hardng visit othe canal
and by statement by Senator JONES' chamnan the
commerce committee that the congress
will proceed at to enact legislation providing for free tolls

There question but that the Chicago platform calls for
free tolls for American ships through the canal and that the
presdent-elect has endorsed this particular plank
However attention is also being called to the that the
Chicago platform also has another plank which says that
scrpulous observance of international engagements when
lawfully assumed e essential to honor and serepect
and the respect of other nations"
The two panks held to be in direct conflict fro the
fact that the HayPaunceote treaty that all nations shall
be treated alike respecting tolls at the canal.
Section of Article H. of the treaty provides
that:
The canal shall be free and open othe vessels of
and of of all nations observing these rules

CRAIG MT. COMPANY AC-
QUIRES AGNEW INTER.
EST ON MOUNTAIN.

Winchester, March 81. A
deal was concluded Tuesday by
which the Craig Mountain Lum-
ber company acquired from Ag-
new Brothers, 800 acres of the
most valuable timber on Craig
mountain. The timber lies west
of Cottonwood Butte and was
one of the finest tracts bought
on the mountain. The consider
alton involved is not made
public.
The construction of about 90
miles of railroad will be neces-
sary to serve this timber dist
rict but the timber was bought
for future operations and it will
be several years before the COM
panv begins cutting in these
holdings.
The company began acquiring
odd lots of timber early this
year, the total purchases prior
to yesterday amounting to about
700 acres. The company now
has standing timber to the
amount of approximately 49,
900 acres.
While the above deal has beer
under consideration for some
time, according to reliable in
formation received here no fina
settlement has been made in The
transaction, due to the illness Of
Mr.. II. C. Agnew, one of the
principal owners of the timber
referred to, who has been spend
ing the winter in Cottonwood
with his family.
The deal was also referred Il
a short time ago in the Ferdin
and Enterprise.
