A TALE OF ADVENTURE

For sheer interest, no story of recent
years can compare with the recent dis
patch from Oslo telling of the discovery
in the distant Arctic of the remains OF
Captain August Andree and his two COM
panions. The discovery clears up one OF
the most famous mysteries in the world
"a mystery that has attracted the atten
ton of scientists. aviators and laymen
for more than thirty years
Captain Andree, as you probably re-
member, was a daring aeronaut who be-
lieved that he could fly across the North
Pole in a free ballon. He had studied
weather conditions in the Arctic for
years, and he was convinced that he stood
a good chance of being waited from
Spitzbergen, his starting place, over the
top of the world to some spot in Alaska.
So, with two companions, he made the
attempt. The balloon sailed up from
SpitZbergen one morning in 1S97-and
never was seen or heard of again.
Through all the years that followed,
Captain Andree's fate was shrouded in
impenetrable mystery; mystery that
was weirdly fascinating because of the
way it stimulated the imagination. Three
men floating off into the sky over the
lonely, limitlesS Arctic waste and disSap-
pearing forever-who could fail to re-
SpOlO 10 all adventure SlOIy ALTAR ike
that?
Now it is all cleared up by the finding
of the explorers bodies. Their balloon,
apparently, was forced down, hundreds
and hundreds of miles from any haunt
of mankind. They tried to make their
way over the Arctic waste, were COM
PEELED by hunger or storms to stop and
camp, and died there of starvation and
exposure; that, at least, is the theory,
pending confirmation from Andree's di-
ary, fortunately preserved.
One hopes that that diary will prove to
be complete. 1t should make one of The
most enthralling stories of the century.
1t clears up mystery that has fascinated
the world for more than three decades;
and beyond doubt, it tells great tale
of adventure, bravery, endurance and
disaster. The world will await its publ
cation with the utmost eagerness. No one
who can thrill to pure romance will care
to miss it.

ALFALFA HAY
MARKET SAID
TO BE STEADY

During the week ending August
% the Los Angeles alfalfa hay mar
kets remained quite steady compar-
cd with the dullness prevailing for
the past few months. Prices during
that period continued steadicr and
demand during most Of the week
considerably more active. Local de
mand has narrowed somewhat, par
ticularly during the past two days,
with cash sales dropping off decid-
cdly. Receipts at railroad terminals
during the entire month have been
unusually light. Demand and sales
activities at thcOsc terminals have
been equally as quiet. Truck re-
ceipts have continued steady and
unusually heavy during the past 10
davs. the bulk of the receipts dur
ing that period being absorbed
mostly on contract orders from the
dairy trade. That class Of trade has
already taken on large volume of
seasonal requirments.
Supplies in hands of dairymen
have increased very substantially
during the past few weeks, as in
dicated by the numerous piles Of
Ealed hay now appearing. Growers
ideas continue to strengthen IN
nearby producing areas, as indicat-
ed by advices from hay buyers.
Some influence may be attributed
to the continued inquirery from
drought stricken areas. To date
this season the second shipment by
water to the East Coast from this
territory left during the week, a
shipment consisting Of close 20 22O
tons. According to advices from the
the Federal State Grading Service,
the various lots that made up the
shipment graded L. S. No. | or bet
ter. and even good representation
of the alfalfa produced in this area.
Strengthening prices recently have
tended to reduce sales to the fertil-
izcr trade. The dairy trade is now
fu nishing the principal outlei for
the heavy receipts consisting most
" of medium grade hay. Lack Of
alfalfa meal business at present IS
the chief reason for few shipments
to that class of trade.
According to latest adyiccs, mar
kcting situation for alfalfa hay in
Imperial Valley for the past wceh
now ending in practically the same
as curing the preceding seven day
period. Prices to growers remain
Gaite steady and continue to net
