1924.
]. J. Watson, rJ., president OF the
International Agricultural Corpora
ton, told stockholders at the annual
meeting today it was reasonable to
expect that the directors could con-
seryatively consider in the near flu
ture, payment of the regular 7 per
cent dividends on the prior preference
stock and during the year probably
could pay part of the s14 accumulated
dividend. Selling terms have chang
ed largely from time business to a
cash basis, he said, and probably IS
per cent of the company's tonnage
would be on a cash basis in 1926,
thereby requiring ,less working CAPT.
tai. Heavy orders were coming in, the
bank debt at present was only small.
Mail Order houses generally should
have their most successful year in
1926, because conditions throughout
the country are good and the pur-
chasing power of the public is great
er than ever before, julius Rosen-
valid, cairman of Sears Roebucll

for a Mediterranean cruise. The COM
pany's sales for 1926 ought to run
about $2S0.000.000 or 10 per cent more
than 1924, he said. Mr.. Rosenwald
explained an erroneous impression

ing among themselves or case of the
strongest against the weakest.
One evening sitting in the tent
which was home and office, Spencer
was busily engaged in writing. The
snow had fallen and the mountains
were wearing blanket which glisten-
ed in the bright moonlight; Mt. Evert
glistening with crystal fringe along
its rim. The setting was grand in the
clear atmosphere that prevails in this
altitude in the Rockies. There was a
sudden rushing and struggling outside
of the tent. Then something came
against the sides. The stiffness made
it more preceptable. Spencer was
startled and leaving his writing ran
out to see what had happened In the
moonlight he saw two fine bucks
locked in struggle. One was down
while the stronger was on his knees
pushing with all his strength. He had
gotten the victims head turner around
so the breath was almost cut off and
no doubt in a short time would have
choked his weaker victim to death.
Spencer not thinking Of danger ran
up to the struggling bucks and caught
both by the antlers which were locked,
shook them believing he might get
them apart, a dangerous and foolish
thing for him to do as he learned af-
terward. At this the stronger buck
fell down so they both lay there pant
ing and exhausted but it relieved the
weaker one and he could get his wind.
Spencer then sat down on them, strok-
ing their smoth sides. He could have
killed them both but not in the park.
After time he again tried to pull
them apart by Juggling on the antlers.
They were two bucks of equal age,
beauties indeed, six prongers and well
, balanced. A sudden movement on the
part of the stronger resulted in the
! antlers unlocking. The weaker one
rose and was gone in a flash. The
victor arose with slow deliberation
and stood in defense before Spencer,
stamping his forefeet as he stood also
blowing with his nostrils. Spencer did
not move but looked him straight in
!, the eyes. 1t was a miracle though
, that the buck did not rush Spencer,
strike him with his anlters or foe feet,
fearful weapon as they cut like
knife. After several minutes of de-
fiance the buck slowly receded and
when far enough away crashed into
! the brush and was gone.

ture. The varied brilliant hues that
are seen the natures own handiwork.
Unlike the hot water deposits else
where in the park which are silicious,
these are calcarous origin. Their
growth is very slow and the technical
name of the terrace formation is Ira
vertine. Each year it builds up little
higher due to the deposits and the
waters shift from one side to the
other over the face of the Terrace. In
the clear lucid waters of the ever
steaming pools vegetable growth of a
Jelly like membranous character are
seen. These are exquisite and where
the temperature of the water is $50
degrees f. they are white in color; in
cooler waters they are green, yellow,
red, or orange depending upon the
varying temperatures. Pulpit Ter
race is one of the terraces particularly
in form and is Enthusiastically
named. Following the trail into the
Barracks, various buildings came in
sight. To the lief going upwards on
the trail is seen the new Hydro Elec-
trio plant built by Spencer, beyond this
point and just beyond where the trail
energies into he plateau are situated
the Barracks and all government
buildings.
The chapel and hospital are beauti-
full buildings and both for a sacred
purpose. The executive offices, bar
racks and Mammoth Hotel are of sub
stantial and pleasing architecture. The
large plaza in the center of this pla-
teau is well laid out, supplied with
sufficient walks between points; also
drives that reach all the buildings,
An interesting scene to behold in the
fall and winter is when the deer come
down from the mountains higher up
as the snow comes on the ranges. This
plaza will be filled with hundreds of
deer feeding on the alfalfa which is
given them. You can see them in all
phases and actions. Young and old
the stately buck in his best, soon to
lose his antlers of which he is SO
proud. Spencer told how he had a
great opportunity to study the animal
life from standpoint of nature dur
ing his stay in the park, winter and
summer and could tell much to inter-
est them and those who are students
of animal life He related one Incl
dent which in manner is rarely ever
duplicated. 1t was during the fore
part of October when the deer had
come down and the bucks were fight
