ECHOES OF THE LAST
 SAILING OF VIC. 1851.

Writing from Berkeley, Calf ornia, Nov. 23d, pr k. L. Gray- en tells of his experiences and oth- CTS on the last south bound trip of the steamer Victoria enroute to seattle from Nome.
 The voyage out, with the eXcep- ton of the flu trip of 1918. vas the most exciting that | have ever experienced. l took ulree stitches in old John McInt2sh scalp. The story as told to me in reference Ito Mclntosh's accident was, that while on the third step of the steerage stairway, going up, wave hit the ship and he was thrown backwards, but managed to stay on his feet until he was ripped by a sling net lying on the deck about 20 feet from the stairway and to- ward the port side of the ship. He then feil backward and struck ithis head against an iron knee at the side of the ship and rip ped three inch gash on the very top of his scalp.
 C. l.. Braton, d representative of the Manganese steel company, re- ceived black eve, or it may be worse He got up in the night to close the window in his state room to keep the water out. On his way back to his bunk q wave hit the ship and he s.ruok his head against the bunk.
 One of the fremen was badly scalded X few tons of waters, (more or less). splashed over the ship, went down thru the grating around the smokestaek. hit the uptake and boilers, became heat ed and douched the fireman below. His back, left shoulder, arm and forearm were all blistered
 A man by the name of Kelsey spraine1 his ankle in q fall from the stairway into the steerage.

 C. D. Olson from solomon I think, ran an inch and a quart Ter silver in his thigh very close to the femoral artery. He was getting up from a smoking room table when it happened.

made by Josh Wilson. of the Hulse-

Wilson cites the service received
at service stations and the general
trend toward giving the utmost in
service and courtesy to maintain
the high standard of product and
the confidence of patrons.
We endeavor to maintain the
same high grade service and inter-
est in our patrons, not only at the
time of sale. but for the entire life
OF the Caterpillar or machine he
may purchase. In doing this it is
necessary to maintain a large or
ganization. since Caterpillar furn-
1shes 90 per cent of the horsepower
on Imperial Valley farms today
Wilson says.
Our service department is COM
posed of factory trained men who
are at the command of Caterpillar
owners at any time during the day
or night"

CHICAGO, May IA strong ini-

unsettlement on the board of trade
today and prices wavered unstead-
lily to an uneven close. Short cov-
ering and evening up in May wheat
and Corn advanced those grains
and an emergency declaration per-
mitting on track deliveries failed
greatly to affect their levels. Wheat
had a firm undertone with bears
meeting good support and the close
was around steady. Corn suffered
heavy profit taking as a result oi
the advance of nearly four cents ir
the past two days. All deliveries
were strong in oats but the general
unsettlement spread into this pit
also and the finish was uneven.
At the close wheat was unchanged

corn was y to 2hc lower and oats
