with the government shoulderng the cost of operation. Such plan. he warns, will be fought to the end by farmers. who depreciate the influnece of subsidy on agrl- cultural economlcs.
 Gray sums up his advocacy 5f an extra session with the state- ment that the. farm question is pig enough and acute enough to de mand the undivided attention of congress. He sees tariff sched- ules interwoven. w9h farm relief phase that in itself would re- quire more than the three months of the short session to perfect. Since the returning congress is committed to solution of the Boul- der Dam problem, the. supply bill. deficiency appropriations and other measures, Gray says the farmers would much rather have congress leave the agricultural ills for q special session.
 Despite the evident willingness of some farm leaders to let the short session pass and take up farm relief when congress can de- vote more time to it, Senator Me- Nary, as chairman of the senate committee on agriculture. believes it possible to pass a measure ac- ceptable to President Coolidge, within a week. He holds that ample hearings have. been conduct ed and that the question is one of finance rather than the method of operation. At least, he believes the short session could put ma chinery in motion to handle the next harvest, whereas if left to special session, it might be a year or more before legislation would be. of practical aid.

BONE CHINA

Away back when sailing ships and sealing wax were important, an Englishman returned home from China with the secret of Chinaware. In latter experiments they learned that a little bone dust, stirred into the ingredients, made their dishes more durable and resistant to the hazards of heat and handling. While bone dust was not expensive yet adding it added greatly to the cost. This, children, is known as a paradox. Only the best of china is bone china and heading the list is Grown Ducal. We are closing out our fine of Crown Ducal as the local demand does not justify the investment. Fill in your set or start one while the prices are absur6lY reduced for quick dis pojal.

NEW YORK, Aug, 31, (P)-The man. gled bodies of Merrill and Lonne were found 80 feet from their wreck ed plane, the Curtis Falcon, owned by Colonel Chas. A. Lindbergh, which crashed and exploded in wilderness six miles from the Pennsylvanian town of Milford.
 The wreck was sighted by fellow fliers after the greatest airplane search ever known in the United States. There was no place to make landing near the spot so some of the searchers flew to Milford, few miles away; others went to Port Jervis, New York. from where foot parties were organized.
 The plane was a total wreck and had evidently crashed into trees at a terrific speed for it was dashed into bits. The ground and trees for sever al feet around the wreck had been burned indicating the plane caught fire after crashing.

TWENTY-FIVE LBS. OF GOLD BROUGHT
 IN FROM NUKA BAY
BABCOck AND DOWNEY SHOW ING CREATES SENSATION AS
 PICTURE ROCK SHOWN HERE

With twenty-five pounds of raw gold which has been placed in the bank here, Tom Babcock, partner of D. W. Downey of the Nuka Bay dis >Nrict. who arrived in Seward Thursday on the Motorship Discoverer has re- called the stampede days of 1898 when he first took out gold in the Klondike. With his cleanup he brought speci- anens of jewellery rock that are among the richest ever found in Alaska. Some of these pieces taken from a vein 30 inches wide are literally plastered with gold.
 This vein has been stripped along the surface for distance of more than 100 feet, Mir Babcock reports and ia one of the 3-veins developed on the property. One vein eight feet wide is showing free gold values.
 The partners figure they have S7, GOO on the dump but their small Ellis ball mill is not adequate to handle the tonnage which they expect 10 be talk ing out next spring. They now plan the installation of a stamp mill and a concentrating table During he winter they will drive 100 foot tunnel which will give them a depth of 125 feet on what seems to be their richest ledge
 Other prospectors are opening up district, according to Babcock who looks for important developments there next season. Famous engineers believe that the number of veins now uncovered bid fair to place the camp on basis with the TreadweH district in the point of ultimate production Babcock is planning to send some of his specimen rock to the mining ex- changes of Seattle and Vancouver where it is certain to cause a sen. sation.

NEW YORK, Aug, 31, (P)-The The finding of a wrecked plane in the sea near Vesteraalen, in North Norway, was reported in cablegram from Oslo to Bernon Prentice who was the American chairman for two of Amundsen's expeditions.

 The cablegram was sent by FrOeis from an island at the head of Oslo. Froeis is head of a number of Oslo newspapers which has sent out re- lief expeditions for Amundsen. He said in his report that he had re- ceived the news of finding the plane from fairly authentic source which he is now engaged upon investigat- ing.
