Or. STONE HURLED TO DEATH
HIS WIFE is HURT IN At
TEMPT TO RESCUE
Body Of Or. Stone Has Not Been
Found According to Members Of
the Rescue Party

Banff, Alberta,-Details of the first
statement made by Mrs. w. E. Stone
concerning the tragic death of her
husband, the president of Purdue uni
versity, who fell to his fate in the solI-
tary fastness of Mount canon on July
Is, when brought here by messenger
from the rescuing party.
Mrs. Stone, the messenger said is
little the worse for her narrowing ex-
perience. 1t is expected she will
soon have recovered sufficiently to be
brought down the Spray river to
Banff. She is suffering chiefly from
hunger and exposure, having been
eight days and nights with little food
on the mountain ledge. AS Mrs. Stone
described the tragedy, the guide said,
her husband had attempted a short
cut up Rock Chimney, steep peak,
faced with rock fragments She was
following but they were not roped to-
gether.
When the ascent of the peak was
about half completed the rock on
which Dr. Stone was standing sud
denly gave way and he plunged over
her head to his death on the cliff be-
low
Mrs. Stone attempted to reach his
side, scaling down the preclpitous face
of the cliff until she found herself
marooned on the narrow ledge from
which she was rescued almost dead
from exposure. There was a tiny
stream trickling from crack in the
ledge and this provided only means
of sustenance.
The body of DR.. Stone has not been
found, members of the party who first
descended into the chasm said the
body was not at the bottom. Search
is being continued near the foot of
Rock Chimney, Mrs. Stone having
given the party a minute description
of the spot from which her husband
fell.

LANDS OFFERED VETERANS
Filings to Start in September and Con-
tinue Sixty Days

Washington-On September 8, 222
farms will be opened to homestead
entry by soldiers of the world war, on
the North Platte irrigation project,
Wyoming, and one week later, Sept.
ember 16. fifty-seven farms will be
thrown open under the Shoshone pro-
ject in the same state. About 10000
acres of land are included in the two
openings. For sixty days no one but
soldiers of the world war will be per.
mitted to make filings on these farms.
A. decade ago the lands now includ-
ed in the North Platte project were a
vast range occupied by nomadic herds
of cattle, but national reclamation has
wrought a marvellous change in that
section. The landscape is now dotted
with hundreds of prosperous farm
homes and 100000 acres are produc-
ing valuable crops of alfalfa, sugar
beets, corn and potatoes. Numerous
towns have been established and rail-
roads have extended their branches to
coRnect the valley with the country's
great markets. Dairying has become
a profitable industry. More than
$4,5OO,OOO worth of crops were produ,
ced ON the project in 1920.
