LOST RIVER OF GOLD WILL BE
 SOUGHT; OLD TIMERS SEARCH

Edmondton, Alta, Can.--
 Search for lost rivera river of gold-will be undertaken this year by several prospectors, including old timers from the Yukon and Alaska, who are now here outfitting for the long journey into the north country. This lost river bed, where the Peace river once flowed, is somewhere in the big bend of the Peace, bisected by a line drawn from Fort of St. John to the mouth of the Battle river.
 Some years ago an Indian brought into Fort St. John g. fair sized gold nugget which, according to the tales told by old timers of the north, he discovered in a stream in the country to the northeast of the post.
 Soon after this, an old trapper, a white man., who made Fort St. John his headquarters, came into the fort with quantity of coarse gold which he had washed from some stream in a similar direction to that from which the Indian haled.
 lie never visited the trap lines after thls, living on the fat ot the land in carefree ldieness at the post. lie often disappeared whenever his sup plies of necessa1es ran low, and would be away for few days, always returning with a fresh supply of gold.

 Suffered.

For years, "said Mrs. V.~B.

 "I had nervous headaches and when they came on it seemed that an iron band was drawn tight around my head. l now shudder when 1 think of those headaches, my stomach was W ak and I could not digest the lightest food. Any food of solid nature caused nausea and the sick ening sensation remained for hours"
 My misery was almost unbAarable. My sleep was never sound and I was worn out all the time. My condition was indeed very deplorabie one. finally sought treatment in Cincinnatti but nothing helped me one p;.. ticle. was on the verge of giving up in des- pair when neighbor pleaded with me to try Tanlac. I obtained bottle of the medicine and began it's use.
 "I began improving at once and soon felt my nervousness and dizzi- ness disappearing. Then my head achs left me and I realized my strength had returned. My appetite and digestion improved and I am now so much better in every way. This Talnac is wonderful medicine and the only one that ever really helped me. I hope every poor woman who is suffering as I did will try it."

SOAP MINE FOUND
IN MOJAVE DESERT

Los Angeles, Cal, July ia
"Soap mine" in the Mojave Desert is
the latest addition to the industrial
enterprises in this section. The
soap mine produces a colloidial clay
which, with very slight preliminary
treatment, is said to be superior
grade of laundry soap. 1t makes a
soft powder, and is said to set colors
and remove dirt.
The deposit was discovered by a
prospector who thought it was fire
clay and brought it here to be an
alyzed. He happened to go to local
laundry for aid, and when the analy-
sis disclosed that the clay was soap,
the laundryman promptly bought 500
acres of land containing the deposit
and prepared to produce soap COM
mercially both for use in his laundry
and for general sale.

ArriUaI of MayfIOWer viii BE
Celebrated in Plymouth To-
night.

PLYMOUTH, Mass, July 13-Not-
withstanding that 300 years have
passen since the Pilgrim Fathers

U. S. S. Pittsburgh has been assigned
to convey the guns to this country,

ARRESTS TWO
SUSPECTS
D F TEXAS
c R | N {
Professional HOb0es Held
Here in Belief May Have
Been Connected With the
Murder of Locomotive En-
gineer.

A solution of the mysterious slay-
ing of a locomotive engineer which re-
suited in the explosion of the engine
boiler and the wrecking of a freight
train near Alpine, Texas, week ago,
is believed to have been found in the
arrest at INLAND of two professional
tramps who gave their names as j. F.
Murphy and j. H. Williams.
Suspecting the men of being those
who committed the crimes in Texas,
Special Officer Charles Freeman of
the Southern Pacific railroad followed
them from Yuma to INLAND on a
freight train and arrested them. In
the essential details of their appear
ance they both tally with descriptions
of the men believed guilty of the crime
and they are being held at the county
Jail here pending the arrival of officers
from Texas who can identify them.
The crime of which the men are sus-
pected was one of the most atrocious
that has been chronicled in the press
of the southwest in many months.
While Engineer William Bohlman of
the Galveston, Harrisburg & San An
tonic railroad was, driving his loco
motive eastward at it's best speed two
tramps are believed to have climbed
over the back of the engine, shot the
engineer to death and hrew his body
from the train, leaving the engine and
heavy train to pursue its course un-
guided.
Being on the other side of the cab
and out of sight Of the engineer, Fine
man Charles Robertson Snew nothing
Of the absence of the engineer until
the boiler exploded because of the lack
of water. The explosion wrecked the
locomotive, and threw the unconscious
fireman many feet from the right of
way, where he was picked up some
time later by railroad employees who
were sent out to investigate the wreck.
After the explosion the momentum of
the heavy train carried it for more
than four miles eastward, to a point
about 10 miles from Alpine, Texas,
where it wrecked itself.
After finding the wrecked train and
the unconscious fireman the investi-
gators found the lifeless body of the
engineer with bullet hole through
the back of the head, lying beside the
tracks about four miles back Of the
scene of the explosion of the locomo-
tive, indicating that the engine had
sped eastward for about that distance
without the controlling hand of its
driver upon the throttle.
Persons who saw the two tramps
aboard the train gave a good descrip-
tino of them to the officers and peace
officers throughout the Southwest
were notified to be on the lookout fol-
them. Special Officer Freeman saw
Murphy and Williams at Yuma where
they boarded freight train north
bound. He also boarded the train and
upon it's arrival at inland he placed
them under arrest, on charge of de-
frauding the railroad company of their
fares.
Dispatches from Ell Paso this after
noon announce the arrest of w. E
Stirman, one of the brakemen of the
train, in connectio nwith the killing OF
Bohlman, and expresses doubt that the
men under arrest here had anything
to do with the crime.

TO SAVE STATE
FROM ALFALFA
WEEv|L At ACK
Both Receipts and Demand For
Hay Li0ht and Prices Are
CGrrespOndingly Lou.

Excerpts from the weekly market
letter of the Alfalfa Gro:~ers of Cali
fornia, Inc, follow:
Receipts of alfalfa hay in the CEN
trail markets were somewhat lighter
than during the preceding weeks, but
as the demand there still remains alb
normally light for this period Of
the year, the market showed no i'm
provement in price or tone.
The attention and buying power of
dealers and users in the southern
part of the state has during the last
few weeks been largely concentrated
ON grain hay in anticipation of a
shortage later in the year as result
of the crop deficiency in all the dis
trcts south of Fresno. Heavy pur-
chases were made, some from points
taking freight rate as high as So
per ton, which purchases account for
the large current receipts.
Some of the dealers and users who
are financially able to do so have
commenced to stock up on alfalfa hay
for their fall and winter require
ments and have bought freely. Many
of the other buyers would undoubt-
edly be willing to do the same now.
if the money and credit conditions
would permit them to do so. AS it
stands now. stocks Of alfalfa hay
in the hands of most of the dealers
and users still remain very small
AS we pointed out in our last letter,
present prices of alfalfa are so low
that the growers in some sections
would get practically nothing for their
hay, after paying freight, bailing,
hauling, etc, if they were to sell in
the central markets at present prices.
The state agricultural department is
very active in keeping track of the
spread of the alfalfa weevil in the in
fected neighboring states, and in pre-
pairing for the fighting of the pest if
it should extend to our state. Alfalfa
is the largest and most important crop
produced in the state and the depart
men fully realizing this, will spare no
efforts to save the industry from be-
ing crippled or destroyed by the dis
ease.
The state agricultural director in
forms us that he is ready to assist
growers in putting them in position
to meet this danger in the best way
possible. 1t seems that the weevil can
only be successfully eXterminated as

the great German offensive, from
there to Chateau -Thierry salient, and
then followed st. Mihiel where in two
days over 1000 prisoners were taken.
The division was engaged in two I'M
portant phases of the great Argonne-
Meuse offensive and finally ended up
