cific ocean. He began to search for
 Linkville.
 Time was when Linkville was one
 of the principal towns of Oregon. Dan
 remembered the place because some
 of the time-ye1lowed letters his grand father had sent him had been mailed
 at a town that bore this name. But he couldn't find Linkville on the map. Later he was to know the reason that the town, halfway between the sage plains and the mountains, had prOSpered and changed it's name. He remembered that it was located on one of those great fresh-water lakes of southern Oregon; so, giving up that search, he began to look for lakes He found them in plenty-vast, unmeas- ured lakes that seemed to be diStrib uted without reason or sense over the whole southern end of the state. Near the Klamath lakes, seemingly the most imposing of all the fresh-water lakes that the map revealed, he found Q city named Klamath Falls. He put the name down in his notebook.
 The map showed a particularly high, far-spreading range of noun tafns due west of the city Of course they were the Cascades; the map said so very plainly. Then Dan knew he was getting home. His grandfather had lived and trapped and died in these same wooded hills- Finally he located and recorded the name of the largest city on the main railroad line that was adjacent to the Cascades.
 The preparation for his departure took many days. He read many books on flora and fauna. He bought sport ing equipment. Knowing the usual ratio between the respective pleasures of anticipation and realization, he did not hurry himself at all. And one midnight he boarded a west-bound train.
 He sat for a long time in the vesti- bule of the sleeping car. thinking in of this final adventure of

He Couldn't Find LinkviIIe on the Map his life. He was rather tremulous aud exultant as he sank down into his berth.
 He saw to it that at least a meas ure of preparation was made for his coming. That night a long wire went out to the Chamber of Commerce of one of the larger southern Oregon cities In 1t, he told the date of his arrival and asked certain directions. He wanted to know the name of some mountain rancher where possibly he might find board and room for the re- mainder of the summer and the fall. The further back from the paths of men, he wrote, the greater would be his pleasure. And he signed the wire with his full name: Dan Failing, with a Henry in the middle, and ''III'' at the end.
 He usually didn't sign his name in quite this manner. The people of Gftcheapo1fs did not have particular ly vivid memories of Dams grandfa- ther. But 1t might be that a legend of the gray, straight frontiersman who was his ancestor had still survived in these remote Oregon wiIds The use of the full name would do no harm.

PorpoIse a Fast Swimmer.

There is another mammal that is so fast no one has ever been able to find out how fast he is. This is the DOT boise. The porpoise can do stunts iE front of the fastest boat that travels the bounding wave and when he IS through after several hours of clown ing he f1irts his tall and nonchalantly speeds beyond the horizon. The DOT poise will do his tricks under the bow of a nine-knot cargo tramp or a 22- knot ocean greyhound. He Is like the antelope in that he sets his pace ac- cording to the speed Of the pursuer.

An AjrpIane Brake.

The newest idea for airplane wheels is to mount upon the periphery of each wheel a number of little wheels.
 This arrangement, says the Popular Science Monthly, helps to retard the forward motion of the flying machine on making a landing. The little wheels, brought successively into po- sition by the force of impact, tend to check the plane and bring it to quick and smooth stop.

INCREASED TRADE
In CURB MARKET
Independent Oil Stocks Attain
Greater Prominence-The
Sweets Co. Active.

NEW YORK. July Most inter
est was attached in the trading in
the curb market today to the in
creased activity and greater prom
inenee attained by the independent
oil stocks--a natural result of the
violent movement in the foreign oil
issues on the stock exchange in con-
sequence OF the tariff burdens plac-
ed on Mexican oil and the proposec
import duty on crude oil in this
country. Many of the established
independent producers that had sold
down to low levels in the recent
trading in consequence of the con-
tinued decline in prices of crude
oil and petroleum products were in
good demand and made material
gains. Some of the tropical oils
were also in urgent demand, with
most interest attached to the trad
ing in Creole Syndicate. in which
most of the buying was attributed
to accumulation bv strong banking
interests concerned in the manage
ment. Midwest Refining was the
feature of the high-priced indepen-
dent issues, that stock moving up
5 points to 1870: Maracaibo was un-
der pressure after the opening, rang
ing from 22& to 21k. but rallied
from its low level. CITIES Service
issues were quiet. although the COM
mon stock again fiuctuated over a
wide range.
The heaviest trading in the indus
trial group was in Sweets Company
of America, over 10000 shares of
that stock changing hands at 3 to
az. Glen Alden Coal. which was
strong in the past two days. re-
acted sharply, selling down from
SS% to 35h. 4 number of motor
stocks were in supply. with some
of those issues yielding to still low
er levels. Southern Coal and Iron,
which yielded when the general
market was unsettled prior to the
triple holiday. was in better demand
and made a substantial advance. Co.
