SUBSTITUTE FOR PEBBLES
Steel Balls Replace stones in Manu-.
facture of Cement on Pacific
Coast.

Manufacture of steel balls for use
in fine grinding Of raw materials has
played havoc with the pebble pick
ers'' of the Pacific coast and Puget
sound regions. A few years ago it
was common practice for these people
to gather hard flint stones and peb-
kles from the beaches as the articles
lad a market at portland cement
mills and other plants where they
were used in the grinding machines.
In searching along the beaches OF
Puget sound the pebble pickers were
constantly on the lookout for valuable
agates and moonstones while they
gathered the flint pebbles in large
sacks. On the California beaches flint
pebbles are still gathered for use in
some of the California cement plants,
but the steel balls have taken their
place in most mills The pebbles or
balls are used in huge rotary mills,
some Of the largest mills carrying as
much as 80 to "a tons of balls. AS
the mill revo1ves, the balls climb the
sides and drop back on the raw ma
terial rolling and grinding it to fine
powder. Before the steel balls were
perfected, large shipments of flint peb-
bles from France and Denmark were
required in this country.

very much in love. Texie is the
only daughter of old Pap Simon,
rich man and money-lender. Jack
is the orphan bound boy of Pap
Simon who had foreclosed a
mortgage on the Warhope estate.
At first Texie and Jack talk sadly
of Ken Colin, the girls missing
brother Then Jack says that in
ten days his servitude will be
over, that he will ride out into
the big world to seek his fortune.
Both know what that will mean
to them. Texie and Jack talk of
the red lock of Red Colin, in
herited by Ken. And Jack says
he's coming back as soon as he
finds gold in California. Then
arrives the new preacher, Rev.
Caleb Hopkins. Pap Simon intro
duces the villagers to the new
preacher, who was college mate
of Ken. At supper at the Colin
home the preacher tells how the
boy killed a gambler and disap-

CHAPTER V
Arrows of the River Gods.

Arrows of the River Gods.
The Rev. Caleb Hopkins was at the
boat landing in good time next morn
ing.
The others were already there. sit
ting in the long skiff, Uncle Nick in,
the stern, Jack Warhope and Al Coun-
terman at the oars, the latter still
holding the boat to the wharf.
In his nervous and mincing way the
preacher scrambled in; Counterman
showed off; the oars dropped into the
water; and, with the seine coiled up
on the stern locker under the expert
enced care of Uncle Nick, the live box
towing behind, the skiff slipped away
up the river toward Alpine island.
Alpine island divides the Wabash
into two nearly equal channels. The
skiff was guided into the north chan
mel, and had glanced along nearly to
the head of the island when Counter
man rested his oars with the remark
that just there would be a good place
to make the first haul.
The skiff was accordingly turned In
TO the island, and the prov drawn UP
on the sandy margin. Each man,
Uncle Nick excepted, hurriedly un-
dressed, stacked his clothes in the
boat and drew on his rough fishing
garments.
In strict justice to the truth it must
be stated that only Counterman and
the woodsman hurriedly undressed.
The preacher was far slower and
quite noticeably embarrassed over the
unusual experience. The ragged boots
too large. the shabby trousers too
tight, the faded straw hat ridiculously
unbecoming, it was the queerest wad-
ing rig ever seen along the Wabash.
The others eyed it askance and
winked around at one another. Even

The preacher himself must have
caught something of the humor OF the
odd makeup for his studiously cir
cumspect face relaxed into a sugges-
ton Of grin.
After a mild bit of urging, a prodi-
gious deal Of coaching he was left
near shore to hold the brazil stick while
Jack and Countermap rowed out
around as great an expanse of water
as the length of the seine permitted.
On nearing the shore at the compile
ton of the circuit, the two rowers
leaped into the water the moment It
was shallow enough, leaving the boat
to Uncle Nick, and raced for the bank
at top speed, holding the brazil stick to
the bottom as they ran.
\ With the frantic river tribes thus
forced to shore, the water began to be
wildly agitated. Long ripples shot
from side to side Of the rapidly dimin-
ishing space inclosed by the net, as
some panic-stricken swimmer plowed
his reckless way near the surface.
Even the preachers tired and studi-
GUS eyes walked with the excitement.
and he tugged eagerly at the brazil as
the bass and pickerel began to leap.
glittering in the morning sun like sill

"Thar, boys, haul 'er easy" directed
Counterman. "We got em. They
cayn't git away now. Man! hain't
Their wad Nv 'em! / know'd this wus
a good hole"
The good fish were dropped into the
live box. the others thrown back into
the river precisely as war claims the
best men and leaves the defective
and the fisherman seined on.
Several hauls had been made none
of them quite so profitable as the first.

American Delegate Praises Precise
ness OF Reich's Response
Differences On
Reply.

Paris. - The German Govern
ment has accepted the experts re
ports as a practical basis for a
solution of the reparation prob
lem. The reply of the German
Government was handed to the
Reparation Commission aud there
was much enthusiasm at repara-
tion headquarters when it became
known that Germany would col
laborate with the commission in
the settlement of this most diff
ficult problem on the basis set
forth by the experts.
The text OF the reply, which was
brief. follows:
"The German Government has the
honor to acknowledge the receipt of
the note of the Reparation Commits
sion of April II concerning the experts
IbpOfls. Inc dtAhidh 0bNtf HHicnt Cuu-
siders the reports offer a practical
basis for a speedy solution of the
reparation problem. Therefore II de
clares its willingness to collaborate
in the execution of the experts plans. I"
One of the American delegates, prom
inently engaged in the work Of draw
ing up the reports, characterized the
German reply as "a precise answer to
the question the Reparation Commits
sion asked the German Government. /"
II should not try to seek any hid
den meaning in it," he said. 81 really
think the Germans are going to col
laborate earnestly and try to live up
to reasonable and practical arrange
ment"
France, Great Britain. Belgium and
Germany now have announced their
acceptance of the experts reports and
Italy's acceptance is expected soon.
Already there appears to be dis
tinction. If not a difference between
the Interpretation of the German reply
by the Reparation Commission and
the German delegation. The latter
says that acceptance means that ne
gotiations will be necessary in which
Germany will have an equal footing
with the others.
The British Prime Minister'S accept
anee is regarded here as virtually un
conditional. while Premier Poincare's
reference to the report needing touch
ing up is held to be a forerunner OF
various reservations.
