C. A. R. RANKS ARE
GROWING THINNER
Organization Began In 1866, Reached
Height In 1890 And Membership
Now Falling OFF.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. 16.-Fifty-
six years ago small group of young
men. veterans of the Civil War, were
banded together by DR.. Benjamin F
Stephenson of Decatur, I'll. After or
ganizing, the name bestowed upon the
body was The Grand Army of the Re
public.
Organization began April 6, 1866 and
the first National encampment was held
in indianapolis beginning Nov 20 of the
same year. There are no authentic rec
ords to give the attendance at that
meeting, out of which grew one of the
most powerful and influential bodies ever
welded together in the United States. 1t
must have been small, however, for one
of the first theatres in Indianapolis was
used for the meeting place, and it held
only few hundred persons.
Membership campaigns by the Grand
Army of the Republic continued from
year to year, but an official record of
the membership is available only so far
back as 1873. when it was given as 31.-
Ole. 1t was about this time that the
men who had fought and won great
war began to make their presence felt
in all matters pertaining to the ad-
Vancement OF the country and as a re-
suit the 6. A. r. increased in member
ship strength by many thousands.
The crest of the strength of the or
ganization was reached in 1889 and 1890,
when 409,4S9 were reported in good
standing. The peak was reached at
that time as figures given at the en-
the following year showed a
loss of approximately two thousand.
Death has caused great furrow in
the ranks of the old soldiers yearly since
that time, until at present there are fewer
than $4,000 of the boys in blue left.
What few remain, however, are planning
according to national officers to have
goodly representation present at the fif-
ty-sixth national encampment to be held
at Des Moines, Sept. "a to 80.

Nicolet Followed
Waterway Course

+ GREEN BAY, Wis, Sept. 16-Jean
Nicolet the adventurous Norman, who
discovered Wisconsin and founded what
is now the city of Green Bay in 1854,
made the trip from Quebec to Green

Just fourteen years after the Pill
grims landed in Plymouth, NicoIet with
seven Huron Indian savages, started
the treacherous trip in canoes, from the
Canadian city; came down the St Law
renee river; crossed Lakes Ontario and
Erie, followed the coast line of Lake
Huron until they reached Lake Michi-
gan which they crossed and arrived at
Red Banks on the shore of Green Bay
in 1884. He made the 1000 mile trip
as an Emissary of Governor Champlain
OF New France, which is now Canada.

Alaska Is Brought
Nearer By Airplane

ANCHORAGE, Alaska. Sept. BY
the Associated Press)-Remote sections
Of Alaska, weeks and months away from
the railroad under the old transportation
methods, are being brought closer to the
seaports and railroad towns by the air
plane and tractor.
Two sections of Alaska, the Iditarod
and the great Kuskokwfm country,
reached from here in the winter only
after ifteen days trip with a dog team,
can be made in two or three days by air
plane.
The tractors part in the revolution of
transportation methods comes in hauling
ore and coal from the mines to the rail-
roads. The army-type caterpillar trac-
tor dragging from 20 to 90 tons, breaks
its own trail over the snow and is rap
idly taking the place of the horse in
many places.
Sections of the far away Alaska penin-
sula and Aleutian islands with their oil
possibilities, are soon to be prospected
by airplane for a group of Anchorage
business men. The machine will be Of
the hydroplane type and will alight in
the rivers, bays and lakes for shore

One aviator, c. o. Hammontree, is
considering establishing. a chain of sta
tions in the interior to which he can car

1000 Girls Learn
Spanish in Mexico

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 16.-The time
honored conception of the typical

few weeks by the more than 1000
young women school teachers from
the United States who have been
taking special summer courses in
Spanish at the national university.
Almost "flapperesque," but not too
much so, they eluttered up the down
town streets every afternoon when
classes were over to do their window
shopping. What with swagger sticks
and sport clothes and startling Golf
fure. they presented a charming ar
ray of American womanhood that.
gave the "fifis'', those appointed
judges Of ali feminine beauty in
Mexico City, some hectic moments.
The young women came from al!
parts Of the United States. From
Maine and down the coast to Florida
and from washington to Los Angeles
and from the middle west they
flocked here at the close of school
terms in the States to gain an init
mate knowledge of the Spanish Ian
guage by studying it in its native
haunts. The. Mexican government
provided a number of courses in
Spanish and supplementary studies,
and also furnished free transporta
ton from the border to Mexico CITY
and return. There were a few men

SIBERIANS DEVISE
TRAP FOR LOCUSTS

i KAZAN, Sept 16. Thousand of
miles of bitches bordering fields of
grain have been dug by the peasants
along the Volga to protect their crops
from an invasion Of locusts. Partly
by this means, and with the assistance
of the government which used pois-
oned gas, the grain was saved.
The bitches acted as a trap. The
locusts crawled into them, whereupon
the peasants gathered in crowds, men.
women and children, and shoveled
earth on top of the insects. The
method was very effective.
