barber shop was dark. I could NOS
find him. 1 even ratified the door
and looked for him in the restaurant
close by"
The council took his word. 1t had
been verified by a squad of plain
clothesmen, who had followed Nc
Coy.
Negley handed Mccoy a sheaf OF
subpoenaes for all the absentees and
the entire party betook themselves
to police headquarters. A squad
under Sergt. Patrick O'Connor was
assigned to aid.
Perhaps the councilmen were
attending the Elephant Club
ceremonies in Tomlinson Hall, There
the searchers went.
On guard at the doors were Wayne
Zimmerman, board Of works clerk,
and John J. Collins, city PURCHASING
agent. Mccoy and O'Connor stated
their mission. Zimmerman went be-
hind the sacred portals, The search
ers waited outside. None Of them
are Elephants.
William Chick Buser, city con-
troller. brother-in-law to the mayor.
and erstwhile acting mayor, strolled
out into the hall in all his glorious
regalia. SO did Charles A. Mann,
riding bailiff under Sheriff Omer
Hawkins.
Nary Il Councilman
Zimmerman returned and said no
councilmen were present. The
searchers took his word for it. Me
Coy and the policemen started tour
of councilmanic residences while
councilmen, clerk and onlookers went
back to city hall.
About 10 p. m. the searchers re-
turned, reported they had found only
Councilman Moore at home, and his
wife was i'll and he just wouldn't
come.
The spectators had dwindled to
four, and everybody had run out Of
cigars so the three councilmen after
a whispered confab adjourned until
this morning.

After carefully going over or

struck at the $4,000 loan.
"Why was the money lent the
ASSOCIATION under guise of your own
contribution, when as a matter Of
fact it came from the firm Of Weyl-

the Senator.

MORE ON WILKINS
Continued. from Page Four.)

i
scientific observations.
Captain wilkins said he did not ex.
pect to approach within 500 miles OF
the Pole if he completes the work he
has set out to accomplish, namely the
exploration of the blind spot north
Of Point Barrow. However, such mat
ters will be decided by circumstances
when in the field.
Captain Wilkins comes of pioneer
stock, his ancestors having migrated
to South Australia, where his father
was the first white child born in the
State of South Australia. He is a sci.
enlist possessed of all qualifications
essential to the successful accomplish
ment of his task, namely courage,
knowledge Of ice conditions, air navi-
CATION and astronomy. Our own Carl
Ben Eielson enjoys the distinction Of
having contributed inestimable valu-
able scientific data to aviation in the
sub-Arctic, where he proved the prac-
ticability of the airplane for COM
mercial adaptation in any temperature
or under any condition which might
be encountered in the polar regions.
AIS theresult of his pioneer work Alas
ka now has air mail routes and great
distances are being bridged within a
few hours that once required months
to traverse. He is the first man to
pilot an airplane over the Brooks
range and into the Arctic from Amer
lean shores, and to him Alaska ac-
cords a fair share of the credit for
successful Arctic exploration by air
plane, including the conquest Of the
Pole itself by Commander Byrd, and
successful Arctic exploration by Mac
MILAN.
The last anxiety with respect to the
Wilkins expedition was removed to-
lay when Captain Wilkins learned
through an Associated Press dispatch
to the Gateway that Alger Graham,
the Wright Detroit
Stimson planes, had arrived safely in
Seattle and was sailing north on the
Northwestern.
The planes will be loaded onto
1atcars on their arrival and conveyed
o Fairbanks, where they will be tuned
I'D and prepared for the epochal in
vasion of the Arctic wastes by the air.

WILD COWS TO
Be MIXED AT
BRAWLEY RODEO

BRAWLEY, March 28-Wild COW
milking, task that affords much
excitement and merrimcnt, is one
of the many out-ofthe eordinary fea-
lures that viii take place at the
big "fiesta and rodeo to be held
here next Saturday and Sunday un-
der the auspices of Brawley Lodge
of Elks. Many farmers, perhaps,
have MIXED cows that were wild
enough, but the Wild COW milking
that will be seen at the rodco will
in itself be most unusual.
The cows chosen for this bit of
sport are of the big horn Texas
range type, sent here directly from
the wide open spaces of the big
state. According to officials Of
the rodeo, the cows that will be
MIXED, or rather attempted to milk,
have never been MIXED before and
- kicking over the bucket will not
be in it.
Plans for the big two-day rodco
are progressing nicely and Irwin J.
Wells, chairman of the rodco com.
mlttce is most enthusiastic over the
prospects for two days filled with
thrills and excitement.
Many new entries have been re-
ccivcd by the committee in the past
few days and included among them
are Ike Rude of Fort Worth, Tex,
who won the championship roping
contest at Phoenix in January and
who is rcputed as being one Of the
