PALESTINE IS
 DEPOPULATED;
 REASON GIVEN
Zionist Movement Does Not Provide for Development
 of Resources.

LONDON, Oct 7.-There are now barely 100000 people in all Pales tine much less than that of Galilee alone in the time of Christ, says Sir Herbert Samuel, the British High Commissioner there, in re- port just made public.
 Ten thousand immigrants arrived in Palestine in the seven months be- tween September 1920, and May 1921, he reports.
 Sir Samuel attributes the scarcity of the population to lack of develop ment.
 The financial condition of Eastern difficulties within the Zionist or ganization of the United States, says the report, have prevented the Zion ist movement from providing, as yet, any large sums for enterprise of development or colonization As a consequence, while there had been much pressure to admit Jewish inn migrants, there had been little ex- pansion in the opportunities for en- plCyment he declared.
 The water supply for Jerusalem having been found to be insufficient, the government is bringing into use some ancient reservoirs of vast capacity, named the pools of Solo, mon, but of unknown date, possible Herodian, situaaed eight miles away.
 The garrison of the country has been reduced to 5000 combatant troops, imposing a charge of G2,- 500, 900 on the British exchequer or at the rate of .E500 for every fighting man.

 Although 1 have since made more extended search, and put in a week altogether in the work and had the help of several men some of the time, we found nothing on which to build clue. The manner of the mans disappearance and his very probable demise are as much a mystery with us as when we started to search for him.
 "At Van Alstyne's tent, where he had been living, we found that a bear, or bears, had, evidently after Van Alstyne's departure, come in and torn up the tent and had eaten or destroyed most of the grub that was there 1 found Van Alstyne's g watch, rife, a pocketbook and other personal belongings. all indicating that the man had left with the in tention of soon returning.

 The last time that Van Alstyne was seen by anyone was in the lat ter part of April. when he had come to town, to take out some supplies to his claim on Mission Creek be- fore the breakup. He was living out about twenty-five miles from town in an isolated place, off the regular route of travel.

 AND ARTISTS IN
 A SHARP FIGHT
California Town Has Queer Dispute Which Ends in
 Legal Battle.

CARMEL BY THE SEA, Cal, Oct. 7.-The colony of artists and authors here is waging a legal battle with the tradespeople over the kind of pavement that is to grace Main Street.
 The city trustees recently passed a resolution providing for nice, smooth, bitumen thoroughfare down which they could honk to business. but the art contingent announced they would not stand for any second rate pavement that would place them on par with any other small town
 They brought an injunction suit. It was signed by James Hopper, au- thor; Grace MacGowan, writer; Der tha Newberry, poet; Laura Maxwell, artist, and others of their colony, and it was directed against the council composed of Michael l. Murphy, building contNctor; Thomas B. Reardon, master plumber; Court land Arne, barber; William T. Kib- bier. retired druggist, and w. G. Dorwart, ex-minister.
 The artists won the first engage ment on a technicality it being shown that notices of the proposed improvements had not been posted less than 300 feet apart on each and every street in town.
 The latest development is the of fer of the council of the position of city attorney to Argyll Campbell, at torney without fee, who won the artists first battle.
