On July Ia. we travelled perhaps
tweHty miles in northeasterly direc-

camped, The next day. July 20. we
pursued our way along the river. on a
good. easy route. making about the
same distance aS,the day before. On

Here we decided to encamp and send
out a party to examine the country

We had nothing in which to carry
water but large powder horn SO we
thought it best not TO risk sending cut
too large n party. On the morning of
the 22nd, of July, Levi Scott and Will

dry channel of the stream for about
fifteen miles, they came to beauti-
full spring of pure water. HeTe they.

July card, they ascendcd by very
gradual route to the BILE lands to the
westward. and within about fifteen
miles of their camp of the previous
night. they entered quite grassy dis
triet from which they could plainly
see Black Rock. Exploring the coun-

succeededin finding a route across the

source of the Humboldt river was

before, and that they had perished at
the hands of their blood-thirsty cap
tors not one having escaped to recite
the awful tale of horror. Possibly the
bodies of the victims had been thrust
into the river. Possibly the drivers
had been compelled to drive their.
teams across the sage plains into this
wild ravine, here to be slaughtered
and their bodies burned. By a moro
extended search along the river and
among the hills, We might possibly
have found some of the bodies of the
victims, and might have obtained some
clue as to who the Inflated immigrants
were, but even this was not practicable
at the time, and we could only hurry
on with sad hearts TO overtake the
train far up the river.
Z On the 5th of August, we reached
Hot Springs valley. having Travelled, as
nearly as we could judge. about two
hundred miles along the river On the
10th the Fort Hall party returned to

the ! 1th we turned our faces towards

eight or nine hundred miles distant.

leave him. under the rocks, with the
understanding that he would follow US
as soon as he felt able to ride. After
Eoing four or five miles we beheld a
horsefnan approaching us, This soon
proved TO be John Jones, one of the
party who left us at Rlack Rock on
the morning OF the ilth. He had
found water at the place I'VE were

White Farmers Increase
While COlOred Decrease

Washington, d. c.. July 12-Total
acreage of farms in the United States,
according to the Bureau of the Cen
sus of the department Of commerce,
showed an increase of 81 per cent.
from the year 1910 to 1920, rising
from S7S79S,325 acres in the earlier
year to 955,676,545 in 1920 OF the
total 955,616,545 acres operated in
1920 the percentage worked by white
farmers was 95.3, increasing from the
94.7 per cent farmed by whites in
colored farmers. Where colored far
mers operate the acreage of the farm
is noticeably less than the white
mans. In Georgia. statistics taken in
1920 showed that where the colored
mans farm will average 543 acres,
the whites will be 101.7 acres
About one e-eighth of the land cul-
tivation carried on by white farmers
is done by the foreign born whites.
The average acreage per farm for
native white farmers in 1920 was
1875. while the average acreage for
foreign born white farmers was
1913. The higher average shown for
the foreign born for the United
States as whole family is mainly
due to the fact that the foreign born
farmers are numerous in many of the
states where large farms prevail. as
the native whites show a higher aver
age than the foreign born in most of
the individual states.

Mr.. Dudley is going this week to

that work.
Mr. Dudley requests that people
send him specimens of all pests found
doing harm TO their crops or suspect
ed of so doing. in order that idcntifi-
cation may be made and immediate
steps taken to remove the danger. A
recent specimen, suspected of being
the European corn borer was received
from Biddeford. 1t proved to be an
other pest. the corn ear worm, but
the remedy was at once told the party

specimen proved as suspected.
