SNOQUALMIE PASS NOW IN
BEST CONDITION OF SEASON

Snoqualmie Pass is in better con
ditlon than at any other time in
this season and motorists can
traverse the road quickly and in
comparative comfort, according to
S. E. Brokaw, head Of the engin-
eering department of the Automo-
bile Club of Washington, and Lee
X t C h IL m, touring department
manager, who have just completed
a survey trip over the Pass.
The highway is in excellent con
dition except for short stretches
where construction work is in pro-
gress, the men report. The worst
section is one-half mile long Just
west of Camp Mason.
For a mile east of Lake Keeche
lus the road is rough but is wide
and hard, while the two-mile de-
tour between Fall City and the
fish hatchery is winding and
somewhat narrow, altho easily ira
versed. Several very short sec
tons, totaling about one-half mile
are rough, due to construction
work.
The entire highway, except "a
round Lake Keechelus, is oiled and
the lake shore road will be oiled
soon, Mr.. Brokaw and Mr.. Ket-
chum say.
Drivers are warned to follow
the accepted route thru sections
where construction work is in pro-
gress.
''The Pass still is under con
struction and is not a boulevard
but is in the best condition of the
season., Mr.. Brokaw says.

Philip Strange, capable young

Crops Increased
BY superphosphate

That he has received six dollars
in return for every dollar spent for
superphosphate to fertilize his
crops is the estimate made by Max
Schumit of Sequim, who is real
booster for this fertilizer.
This superphosphate was applied
during the winter and he is now
reaping an increased harvest KS
the result of it. Fertilizer was
applied to alfalfa, oats, vetch and
pasture. In each case check plots
were left to determine accurately
the comparative yields of fortified
and unfeitilized areas under the
same growing conditions, reports
County Agent A. w. Holland of
Clallam county.
James Dick of Dungeness re-
ports that superphosphate applied
to alfalfa has also increased his
crop. He estimates that the yield
is at least double what it would

lillian wilderness three years ago OF
Col. P. H. Fawcett, famous British
explorer, ended in his death, ac-
cording to story appearing in the
New York World today and copy
righted by the North American

The story that Commander
George H. Dyott, who went in

the first of this year, had sent a
radio message to an operator in
Rio De Janeiro, who had in turn
relayed it to Robert Lloyd of Elms-
worth, Pa, and William Mcdonald
Jr. Of Hollis, N. Y.
The message, according to the
Worlds story, said that Fawcett haG
been killed by Indians in July, 1925.
Dyott's message told Of the hard
ships his rescue party had under
gone and said that he hoped to
reach Para early in October. Seri-
GUS trouble with Indians of the
wilderness had hampered the prog
ress of the expedition.
Fawcett's last known message was
sen tback to civilization on May 80
1925. He was then plunging into
the jungles from which he hoped
to return in two years.
