 AMAZON, LONDON
Exploring Party Accidentally
 Gets in Touch With England

London, Feb. 7.-The expedition under Dr. Alexander Hamilton Rice which is engaged in exploring the upper Amazon region acci- dentally got in touch with the Royal Geographical society of Lon don yesterday through an amateur radio operator, Gerald Marcuse of Caterham, Surrey. who while com municating with American stations at 6:30 a. m,, picked up Dr. Rice's wireless operator.
 The latter asked Marcuse to in- former the Royal Geographical so- ciety that the expedition had reached the junction of the rivers Urari and Urioatara on January 19. The progress of the party had been slow as the country was extremely difficult to traverse. They had been unable to use their hydro-airplane. but had achieved the object of the expedition. and all were well. | Available maps do not show the rivers named in the dispatch from the Rice party, but from this and preceding advices 1t is indicated that they are somewhere near the Venezuelan border. The river Parima in its upper reaches near the border is known as the Urari- cuera. and one of its tributaries is tho Uraricuapara. The Parima flows into the Rio Branco, on which, at Boa Vista. the Rice ~ex- petition was last reported in radio advices picked up in the United States.
 The hydro -airplane mentioned in the dispatch is commanded by Wal ter Hinton, of transatlantic fame. Early last month he and Captain Stevens, the aerial photographer of the expedition, were reported miss ing. but the party, in reporting it's presence at Boa Vista, said that the fliers were safe after a misadven- ture in which their plane was dam aged.

After the girls game the FrOid and
Plentywood boys came out with a zip
and after a workout took their place
at the call Of the whistle.
There was plenty of action through
out the entire game with the score so
close until the last quarter that a
basket would have changed the result
at almost any time. Cheering until
they were hoarse the fans jumped up
and down as the players made the
ball loop the hoop or made excellent
passes.
Playing on foreign floor the
Froid boys put up good fight and
the game was much faster and eXcit-

perusal of the game by quarters will
give an idea of the tense moments
during the game up until the last
quarter when the Froid boys seemed
to lose their pep for time.

KRAUSE

Garner, the local boy, did we'll tc

TonsiIs Gone?
ippIed!

The tonsils perform their func-
ton every second of the day
or night. To remove them IS to
cripple the body. If you are a
smoker or have worked in the
dust, you will have noted that
every so often, you cough, and
spit out some mucus which
contains the dust or poison.
All the food you eat, all the
air you breath, anything taken
into the body must pass the
tonsils. Their function is to
gather the pOisOns and keep
same from entering the body. 1t
YOU remove the tOnsils, all the
dust, pOisOns and germs enter
the body, and you are over
working some other organs Of
YOUR body. You say: People

some people live without their
ewes. Some live without their
arms or legs. To remove the
tonsils is to cripple the body for
life.

Sheriff. Family Has
Dwindled Considerably

The last court session made sad in
roads upon the interesting family of
convicted and unconvicted boarders
that have been under the sheriff's
care, and now only four remain. One
of them, Scotty German, is still "a
waiting arrangement, and r. G. Land
reth, charged with b~ootlegging, is a.
waiting trial. w. Lambert is serv-
ing out a sixty-day Jail sentence, and
a fine of $500, and according to the
arithmetical computation, he has now
served the equivalent of 1876 days,
with only 424 more days to board at
the county's expense.
A. E. Carey, who was fined S2,751
and the costs of the case, which "a
mounted to s450.4O, has plenty of
time to mediate and figure, and he
has arrived at the remarkable con-
clusion that after his Jail term ends
the 25th of this month, he will still
have eight years, nine months, and
eighteen days to serve, because he
cannot see his way clear to pay his
fine.
Next week Carey will have more
interesting figures bearing on his
case, but, offhand, he estimates that
when he leaves the confines of the
Jail it will have cost the county $2,295
to feed him.
Aside from this minor item, he esti-
mates that it will not cost the county
very much to provide for him.

AGAINST
SIMPSON RANCH HAS
Been INSTITUTED
Well Known Clarks Fork Ranch
ers Hit by Cattle Market Re-
verses-Suit Involves Thirty
Thousand Dollars.

John w. Chapman has instituted a
foreclosure mortgage suit against the
owners of the Simpson ranch proper
ty in the Clark's Fork district. the a.
mount named in the suit being $780,
900. The defendants named are Har-
ry G. Simpson, David NJ. Simpson, Ed
gar Simpson, Cora Edith Simpson,
Lille Simpson and the Portland Chat
tel Loan Company.
The Simpsons took up their present
holdings many years ago, were sue
cessful in the cattle business, but it
is understood that the deflation of the
cattle market during the last few
years brought reverses to them as
well as to other ~tattlemen, resulting
in the foreclosure suit. They have
always borne a splendid reputation.
1t is understood that circumstances
which may develop within the near
future may open an avenue of relief
from the foreclosure now pressing
them.

the plaintiff in Judge Metz's court
last Thursday. Clark sued for the
recovery of sheep which Anderson
had wintered for him under a pur-
chase option. On March LIST, 1924,
the day on which one thousand dol
lars should have been paid to bind
the sale, Anderson deposited that
sum in u bank at Powell, but the
court ruled that the money was not
in Clark's possession as he had not
been duly notified, and ordered their
return to Clark.

HEARS VOICES IN AIR;
AWAITS EXAMINATION

Joseph Bier, employed on various
cattle ranches and on the forest re-
serve for a number of years, was ar
rested by Sheriff Loomis on Monday
on the complaint of residents of the
Clarks Fork country, who stated that
he was acting queerly and might
possibly become dangerous, and is a
waiting examination. The sheriff
found Bier on the Little Rocky at
Clarks Fork, and when searched three
guns were found on his person. He
did not resist arrest.
Bier harbors the idea that he hears
voices as over a radio, and on Monday
night told the jailer that he could
hear the voices of the boys in the
Jail at Basin. He would tune in lat
er, he said, and find out what they
were talking aobut. AS far as can
be learned, he knows nothing about
the actual operation of a radio. He
also displays a fondness for guns, and
acquaintance were afraid he might
become careless with his array of
firearms, and shoot some me His
favorite expression is: 81 guess I'll
have to shoot you"
He is 81 years of age, but family
connections have not been found.

the rate Of $50 per month, while lab

Away back in July last year, when

minions Of the law found it necessary
TO place both Of them under a peace

selves and their fortunes as sureties
for Jimmy Windsor. Eventually Wind
sor felt the call and the lure of the
far west, and hied himself to Californ-
in, where he is still sojourning, When
Judge Metz held court here last week,
the matter of Windsor behavior and
whereabouts was brought up, and he
expressed a willingness to dismiss the
bondsmen and restore Windsor to
good standing on the payment Of court
costs, amounting to approximate
ly thirty dollars. MIR. Schwoob and
Miss Lockhart, the good samaritans,
found themselves holding the sack
and paid the charges.

Treasurer Hopes To
Take Office Shortly

E. S. Hopes will probably come in
to "his own" as county treasurer the
last of this week, as G. A. Holm, who
still holds the office while the unus-
ual condition of the county funds
bars out the treasurer-elect, states
that the county money is now being
checked out to an extent that will re-
duce the county deposits below the
amount of bonds furnished by the de-
positories in this county. Handling of
county funds, on account of the pre-
miums demanded, is improbable to
banks, Mr.. Holm states, and the
banks therefore, are not anxious to in
crease the amount of their bonds.
County money, Mr.. Holm states, is
deposited in four banks, two in Pow
ell, and two in this city.
Mr.. Hopes inability to take over
the office should not be attributed to
the lack of a proper official or per-
sonal bond, which has been received
here in the amoun of $4,000, and is
proper in every respect. The condi-
ton is due to an abnormality in the
amount of county funds, which were
at their peak about the first of the
year. As soon as Mr.. Holm and his
deputy clean up odds and ends of bus
mess, Mr.. Hopes will take charge of
the office.

Wyoming VS.. Florida

Lots of Florida land is being sold,
said Mr.. Burmeister, but the sales
are generally made to city people who
do not know soil properties and values
and while the land sharks failed to
unload any of their a%bnormally pric-
ed sand onto the Burmeisters, still
they tried so hard that he still retains
the ~humiliating thought that they
probably thought he vas a mark from
the city, and to a man of Louis ranch
ing reputation, nothing more ignom-
iniously derogatory could be said a
bout him.
Cattle, said Mr.. Burmeister. were as
poor as they could be and still live,
and in several instances he saw sew
eral of them huddled so close togeth-
ell that he was sure they were lean
ing against each other to keep from
falling over.
All sorts of weather was encoun-
tered, and much of the time it was
cold and drizzly. On the goth of No
vember he saw frozen vegetables in
Tampa.
Lou also tells with relish that he
also saw the tail end of a car from
Cody while he was in Tampa, but the
occupants of the a eveidently were
in such a hurry to get out of Florida
that the tail end of it was all he e
did see.
Most Of the permanent inhabitants
of Florida, said Lou. were of the
specie known as Crackers" cores
ponding somewhat to the hill-billies"
of Arkansas, and they objected as
strenuously to the influx of northern
ers as their inert natures would per-
init them to. "No pep at ALL" said
Lou, "and every niger down there
seems TO be sick"
In Lake County, alone, said Lou,

err, the natives didn't appear to get a
kick out of them, but the pestiferous
insects seemed to have n special aver
sion for northerners, and worked ov-
ertime whenever one Of them made an
appearance.
Nothing can be grown without n
fertilizer, said Lou. and even then the
products have no taste nor flavor.
Several people who have lived in
Florida from ten to forty-five years
advised him not to invest his money
in FLORIDA real estate, but Mr.. Bur
meistcr's natural judgment had al
ready caused him TO make up his mind
to that effect, and il was with few re-
grets that the seekers for 'the prom

The BurmeistArs stopped at New

and then came home.

favoring a long sojourn hos in the
