installed last week at the Charles

tract for the installation of new ele-
vator which the manufacturer agrees

cur 10000. GOO CEpARs.

Cedar tree cutters in charge of
Arthur A. Gold, assistant state ento-
mologist cut over seven million trees
in this county and Berkeley during six
months ending July l, according to a
report made by Mr.. Gold.
More cedars have been cut in JEFF
ferson than in Berkeley county, al
though only 10000 acres have been cut
over here, against the 66,481 acres
cut over in Berkeley. The total cut in
Jefferson county is 3,526,867, while
Berkeley's total is 3,479,787. Jeffer-
son has 5000 to $500 acres of CONNER
cial orchard to protect, while Berkeley
has approximately $4,000 acres of or
chard.
An idea of the job carried thus far
is to be gained from the fact that 81
900 cedars were cut from one twenty
acre field in Jefferson county.
The bureau of plant industry, of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, is taking extensive moving pic
lures of the actual work and it's re-
suits in four different sections. Two
of these sections have been taken al
ready by the government movie men,
and the group will be there in few
DAYS to make the third series, show
ing the midsummer effect of the rust
on foliage.
The question of damages is perplex-
ing many land owners whose cedars
have been destroyed. Whether they
are to get anything at ell is being SER
iously debated among them. Even
lawyers say that the provisions Of the
law regulating the compensation to be
allowed the owners are extremely hazy
in meaning.

The l.lcn rescued were able T..
make their way to the bottom Of
the air shaft and were held there
by debris estimated to be 10c fe [
deep. This was removed in recori
time by working parties of rescuers
When these parties reached the all
shaft, which is 400 feet deep, white
dump gas prevented entrance into
the mine where the other entombed
men are located.
The force of the explosion was
terrific 1t wrecked the til pie ard
destroyed all the hosting equiD
ment Rescuers are installing ap
paratus with which to lift out tht
victims. The shaft has en- roped
off, holding back frantic, grief
stricken relatives and morbid sight

POLAR FLIGHT
OUTFIT BEING
PUT TOGETHER
Detroit Man Reaches Seattle
and Assemblies snow
Motors-Plans.

SEATTLE, Jan. 13 = Gordon
began assembling three snow mot
ors for the Wilkins expedition to
the North Pole regions
Scott, A. Malcolm Smith and Earl
Rossman will sail for Seward on
next Saturday.
Scott said the snow motors will
be put in operation from Nenana
One will be left to clear the field
for the planes of the expedition and
the other two would haul five
sleds carrying a total of Is tons of
provisions and supplies, largely oil
and gasoline for the planes.
Smith will act as guide and go
from Nenana to Tanana, thence
north to BEETLES, up the John River
and follow the Anakavuk to the
Arctic Ocean along the frozen sea
to Point Barrow.
1t is expected the snow motors
with the sleds will make 35 miles
day and it will take 35 days to
make the trip. Very little food
VIII w. CdIlleu OutSlue VI sugar,
salt and flour as the men expect
to live principally on caribou.
Scott said probably the men would
not be able to leave Nenana before
February Is because the special
gasoline will not arrive in time.
After the plane Wilkins hops off
in from Point Barrow, the cara
van will wait a week then fly the
remaining planes from Nenana on
assumption that wilkins has flown
to Spitzbergen. If wilkins finds
land, he will return to Point Bar
row and then fly back and explore
the land.
Smith and Rossman arrived here
this forenoon. They came direct
from New York City.
On his arrivtl here Mr.. Rossman
announced that the planes will all

founded feminine divorce seekers
some time ago by declaring he
would grant no alimony to women
in good health who had no children

improvements on the Senate bill.

required for the charges of cruelty
and insanity, which are causes for
divorce in the ...l,' he said. Fraud
is likely to creep into such cases."

approval of an amendment which
would require the prospective bride
and bridegroom to give two weeks

marriage license. This plan has
worked out successfully in Europe,
