WILL SEARCH FOR
LOST RIVER OF GOLD
PROSPECTORS NOW ARE OUT
FITTING FOR LONG JOUR-
NEY TO NORTH COUNTRY.

EDMONTON, Alta.-Search for a
lost rivera river of gold will be
undertaken this year by several pros
pectors, including old timers from the
Yukon and Alaska, who are now here
Quitting 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 line drawn from
Fort St. John to the mouth of the Bat
tie river.
Some years ago an Indian brought
into Fort ST. John fair sized gold
nugget which, according to the tale
told by old timers of the north, he
discovered in stream in the country
to the northwest of the post.
Soon after this an old trapper, a
white man, who made Fort St. John
his Headquarters, came into the fort
with a quantity of coarse gold which
he had washed some stream in sim
liar direction to that from which the
Indian hailed.
He never visited his trap lines after
this, living on the fat of the land in
care-free idleness at the post. He Of
ten disappeared, whenever his supplies
of necessaries ran low, and would be
away for a few days, always returning
with a fresh supply of gold.
This aged trapper lived in this man
ner for a number of years. He died,
as many trappers and north country
men have, on the trail. His body was
found frozen. With him went his Sc
cret, he never having told to anyone
the location of his find. The books OF
the Hudson's Bay company still con-
tain large credit account in the name
of the old trapper.
Mortimer, who tell the story OF the
mystic FL Dorado north of the Peace,
declare that the gold was only avail
able after a heavy fall OF snow, with
which the old fellow apparently wash.
ed his mineral. From an analysis OF
the circumstances generally it is
thought that the place from which the
gold was taken was some old river
bed where the Peace once flowed, but
whether the story is correct or not
remains to be proved.
Prospectors, however, are putting
up good money to test the truth OF
the theory that the percious metal
does exist somewhere to the north OF
Clear Hills in large quantities.

PROGRESS OF THE COTTON
CROP THROUGHOUT BELT
Conditions Generally Favorable Dur
ing the Past Week.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Condi-
tions generally were favorable for cot
ton during the past week, the national
weather and crop bulletin announces.
The crop made fair to very good
progress during the week. Moderate
to heavy rains occurred in much of
the western portion of the belt, but
rainfall was of local character most
ly light in the central and eastern
portions; temperatures were above
normal except in the more eastern dis
tricts.
Cool nights were unfavorable for
rapid growth in the Carolinas. Rain
is needed in some central and eastern
localities. Late planted cotton has
terminated slowly in Tennessee and
Alabama owing to insufficient moist
ure. Very good progress was reported
from Georgia, although the crop is
small and late and the stands poor.
Cultivation made satisfactory prog
ress generally and chopping has been
completed in much of the belt. Weevil
are reported in some central and
northwestern counties of Texas in the
Mississippi Delta counties, southern
Alabama and central and southern
South Carolina, while the pest is
spreading everywhere in Georgia.

Fights for His Life
Alone in the Sea
Mans Suffering From Thirst and
Hunger Very Great.

BOSTON, Mass.-A lone mans un-
successful fight for life in an open
dory at sea with little food or water
was disclosed here today when the
fishing schooner Waltham brought in
his body, picked up yesterday twenty
FIVE miles east of Highland light.
The body was found in the bottom
of a dory that was riding the waves
as right and tight as if under fish

bamboo pole with piece of red at

body was badly emaciated By its side

F rance Has Revived
Ancient Marriage Mart
Resorts to Old Plan of Marrying Off
Surplus Women.

The ancient marriage market idea
is being revived in some parts of
France because of the superabundance
of comely manageable women unable
to find husbands There scores OF
would-be wives line up in the central
market place, each armed with huge
colored parasol, and kissing is as COM
mon as smiles.
Frequently during the market a will
ing swain is accepted, the usual sign
being that the couple turn their backs
on the rest of the crowd and continue
their kissing behind sheltering par
asol. But oftener the market fails to
bring immediate results, and the ap-
plicant is rejected by receiving hear
ty blow on the shoulders with the par
asol.
Officials insist that the practice
should be extended to all parts OF
France, pointing out that in districts
where wives are chosen like vegeta-
bles there are more happy marriages,
fewer divorces and fewer illegitimate
children than in any other depart
ments.

ONE AIR LOOP KILLS
LAURA CROMWELL
CROWDS SEE GIRL FLYER,
WITH SMILES AT HOP-OFF,
DROP 1900 FEET.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Laura Brom-
well, holder of the worlds record for
airplane looping by a woman, who
made 100 complete air circles at Min
cola on May 10, fell to her death from
a height of 1900 feet yesterday after
noon at the Curtiss School OF Avia-
ton flying field, Garden City, L. l.,
in the presence of 5000 spectators.
She had just completed one loop.
Miss Bromwell, it had been an

a ]. M D. biplane and twenty min
utes before she began her plunge had
assisted in a minute inspection of the
plane with officials of the Curtiss COM
pany. Surrounding the field and park
ed in roads for mile about were
hundreds of automobiles, crowded
with sightseers.
Great Throng Cheered.
]. P. Tarbox, vice president of she
Curtiss corporation, shook hands with
Miss Bronwell, who also received the
farewells and good wishes of a score
of aviation officials in the group gath
cred at the center of the field. The
trim figure of the young aviatrix clad
in flying clothes, with head guard and
goggles, was visible to crowds sur
rounding the field They cheered her
enthusiastically as she stepped aboard
and settled herself for the climb. At
tendants spun the propellers and with
a short run the machine left the
ground.
Miss Bromwell reached 1900 feet
and slipped into loop which she per-
formed gracefully 1t was the East
loop she was ever to make. When a
further climb had taken the plane to
an apparent height of 1900 feet it
was seen to sideslip several times in
erratic way, but the spectators who
knew nothing of the hazards OF avia
tion did not realize that Miss Brom-
we'll was having trouble with the con-
trolls. They cheered her as she seemed
to recover balance and headed up
ward again. Then the machine sud-
denly pointed its nose downward and
dived. Gathering additional momentum
with every yard the big Canadian type
plane plunged straight down toward
Camp Mills. The machine struck the
roadway between Camp Mills and the
Salvation Army hotel that adioins the |
camp. More than one automobile filled |
with spectators were parked within
100 feet of the spot. When taken from
the tangled wreck the young woman
was dead. Her body had been badly
crushed
Seat Swapping Blamed.
Aviation experts said last night that
thew believed Miss BromWell was not |
securely strapped into place and that
losing the seat in her first loop she
was unable to regain it, thus losing
control of the plane. Credence is Civ
en- to this theory from the fact that
while the plane was still 1000 feet
from the ground an object was seen
to sail from it. This proved when it
struck the ground later to be Miss
Bromwell's seat cushion.
Examination of the machine by
Pilot Berteaud after the accident re-
vealed, it was said, that all control
wires were still connected.

MIGHT SET PACE FOR U. S.

LONDON, Feb. 24.-Great Brit
ain is called upon to "set an example
to the world" by canceling the war
debts owed to her by Italy and
France, in a note addressed to the
Allies by the Italian government,
lit was learned this afternoon.
The specific demand in the note
was that Italy's share of German
indemnity be increased from 10 per
cent to from 20 to % per cent.
| RAPs GERMAN EXPORT.
Italy protests that she would suf-
fer economically by the enforcement
Of the Paris decision to collect a II
per cent tax upon German exports.
This protest IL based upon the fact
that Italy is a large importer of Ger
man goods, and that the Germans
might be expected to increase the
prices Of her exported merchandise
to meet the ad valorem tax.
| Italy makes 1t plain that she fav-
ors the cancellation of Allied war
debts by the United States. notwith-
lstanding the fact that her share of
Indemnity would be Influenced by
such action. For example, II the
+, United States should cancel the huge
amounts owing to her by the Allies
1t would naturally aid the financial
situation to such an extent that the
Allied powers would not need such a
large amount Of reparations from Ger
many.
Italy Is not raising a new question
by increasing her indemnity demand.
Ever since 1t has become apparent
that Italy could expect little or moth
ling from Austria, she has been press
ling for q larger share of the money
which the Allies expect to get from
Germany. Her note, however, brings
the matter to q head and places it in
concrete form for discussion by the
Allies when the indemnity conference
is held here next month.
The italian note promises to put
complications in the way of the AL
lied statesmen when they assemble
here on or about March 4 to hear the
lGerman counter-proposals. Italy's at
titude. 1t is said by officials, may
hearten the Germans to make stronger
protests upon the assumption that the
Allies are not united.

purchase whiskey. While they were
in there other prohibition agents
knocked at the door. The Adams
woman, seeing the agents at the door,
grabbed the two agents who were In

OF the back door.
"There is some OF those prohibition
agents at the door" she said, land /

that she was talking to two prohtbil
