IMMERSION CASE
 IS UP ONCE MORE
Disputed Trunk Reported Traced
 to 0rmiSt0n

Los Angeles, Dec. Pl--Owner- ship of the little blue trunk" stuffed with woman's finery, which was seized in New York more than a month ago and said by District Attorney Reyes to belong to Aimee Semple McPherson and her fugitive radio operator. Kenneth G. Ormis- ton, has definitely been traced to Ormiston, The Times said today.
 The trunk was identified as the one sold to Ormiston under the name of Fl. c. Cornell" here last May, a short time before the Evan gelist disappeared at Ocean Park Beach. Investigators traced he trunk to Jacksonville, Fla, and then to New York. It contained 67 articles of women's apparel which Keyes contends belong to the Evan gelist.
 Reyes said he intends to offer the clothing to support the state charge that Ormiston and Mrs. McPherson were at Carmel, Calif., an ocean re- sort, during the time the Evangelist declares she was held captive in a desert shack in northern Mexico.
 Mrs. McPherson and her mother, Mrs. Minnie Kennedy, are to face trial in district court next January or February on a charge of consplr- ing to defeat justice in connection with the Evangelist's Kidnapping story. They were recently bound over to district court following an extensive municipal court hearing.

Erdman-.
 Erdman is son of Albert Olson, unrelated to Christ. He left college a day after Christ had visited him and demanded the return of his daughter. A letter the youth wrote to his parents at the time of his disappearancG was made pubic last night. Tn the missive he told of the visit of Christ Olson and said, 'I am leaving for some place where no one knows. K You will never see me again unless 1t is in a coffin. xxx These people Christ Olson) cannot prove any thing definite"
 T have failed as a son." he wrote in closing, but no one will ever know me by that name (Ol- son) again"
 Reward Is Offered
 A reward of $500 has been post ed for word of the youths where abouts and his description has been broadcast to police. Chicago police were searching for the youth spurred by report he had 1 been seen in a restaurant. Discounting the possibility that death was due to natural causes authorities held the opinion that violence or poison would be found as the cause of the girls death.
 A small roadster in which Olson and the girl went to many dances during their years acquaintance was held here by the sheriff whose attention was attracted to a dark 1 brown spot which he may have analysed. Captain John Sullivan, private detective of Milwaukee, en- ployed by the girls father, was in clined to doubt that any worth while clue will be disclosed by analysis of the spot, which some thought might be a deadly poison ous plant spray or other substance.
 It was learned today that young Erdman was eXonerated several years ago of the death of young boy with whom he was playing wild west" He shot the boy ac- cidentally with a revolver.

Wisconsin Boy and Girl''
 Tragedy Comes True

Prairie Du Chien. Wis, Dec. 3 P, The sinister dream of Christ Ol- son that his daughter Clara was dead has become reality.
 I've seen Clara" the tobacco planter had declared long before the body of the pretty 22-year-old girl was found in a shallow grave on Battle ridge near Rising Sun, a quarter Of a mile from the home of Erdman Olson, who has been charged with the staying.
 I've seen her in a dream" he told nelghbors. T know she is dead. saw her buried on her face on a hill near Rising Sun"
 That dream of tragedy and death which came true to the let ter, fortifying his suspicion of his daughters fate, led Christ Olson to swear out murder warrant for young Olson upon information and belief" several days ago, al though there was then no direct evidence that the girl was dead.
 That evidence was supplied yes terday when a searching party combing the picturesque kockapoo valley, stumbled upon barely fill ed grave in which the missing girl was lying-face downward. The searchers gathered at the spot and in awed whispers told one another that Christ Olson's dream had come true. g.

kilograms to several large firms with
whom they do business, having ma

get behind the Boulder dam bill and
urge that it be passed at this ses-

Cost of Work
Horses Big Here

California farmers continue to RELY
upon horses and mules as n source
of motive power. although incrcas.
ing use OF tractors and trucks is
tending to replace horsepower with
mechanical power and the number
Of horses and mules on California
farms has dropped from 4j6,82G in
1920 to $4,000 in 1925.
This statement is made bv r. L.
Adams. professor of farm manage
. ment in the college of agriculture.
University Of California, in a recent
/ bulletin issued by the college on
Cost of Work Horses in Califor-
MIA
This bulletin is No. 4O1. and NAV
be obtained free bv writing the
| College Of Agriculture. Berkeley, or
the farm advisor FL Centre.
notwithstanding the gradual re-
duction in numbers of horses and
mules, the annual cost of horse and
mule power reaches a high figure, -
SAYS Professor Adams. "Considcr-
able quantities OF data have been
collected bv the division of farm
management which appear to be
worthy. of recording for use by farm
| managers and agricultural cconom.
| lists who are concerned with plans
of farm organization, details of farm
! administration, and costs of pr0duc-
, ton studies.'
After going into the subject in
Hnf n A Il l..
following summary:
A study of the cost of keeping
Sl2 work horses on 1877 California
farms indicated that under the con
ditions existing at the time, 1929,
the average cost per animal amount
ed to $172.l9.
The average cost of maintaining
horses on orchard and vineyard
farms was found TO be higher than
on dairy and field crop farms. be-
ing $21l.l4 for the former group and
$l63.58 for the latter group. OF the
various items making up the cost of
maintaining work horses, feed and
chores are the two largest single
costs. These amounted to $1l2.32,
or $50 per cent. for the dairy and
field group, $l62.l6, or II per cent
for the orchard and vineyard group.
The majority of operators fed hay
only, at an average rate of six tons
per head per year. When grain was
fed the amount averaged 7S0 pounds
with a reduction Of but onc-tenth
of a ton Of hay. An average of five
months of pasture replaced IL tons
of hay.
Price for period of study most
" ranged between $15 to $1S per
ton of hay, $3.50 to So per horse
month for pasture, $l.75 per 100
pounds for grain. 800 cents per hour
for choring, $l.62 for taxes, 1901 for
shoeing, veterinary and similar mis-
cellaneous minor items, $l2.77 for
shelter and $6.66 for use of equip
ment.
Credits. for colts and manure,
were relatively small. The value of
the manure is apparently not apprc-
ciatcd by horse owners.
Mortality averaged 81 per cent,
depreciation S.l4 per cent.
The number of hours that horses
are used per year is the greatest
single factor affecting cost per hour.
Yearly use was found to range from
454 to 1882 hours per horse, with a
general average of 1927 hours.
The average cost per horse-hour
for, actually worked amounted to
ll.03 cents, or approximately 81 per
day for a nine-hOur day.
