to show that the man who came
from the rocks got into the car.
Whether the man was Gunderson
or not is the problem which must
be solved.
Undersheriff Clarke is not eX-
pected to report to the sheriffs
office on his search until Wednes-
day, unless he finds the old pros
pector.
Gunderson and Jack Harley. his
partner, were prospecting in the
desert country west of the Choco-
late mountains. and about SO miles
northeast of inland, Harley told
officers when GunderSon left camr
last Wednesday morning with a
three-quart canteen full of water
He had no food.
When Gunderson did not return
Wednesday night Harley became
worried. Thursday he searched the
desert for his partner, but could
find no trace of him. He returned
and telephone to the sheriff's office
for aid. Campbell and Clarke be-
gan their search Friday afternoon
Both are experienced desert track
ers. They trailed Gunderson three
miles along path from his camp
Then the tracks led off onto the
hard surface of Malapai rock, cut
here and there by sandy washes.
These washes were the only place
Gunderson could have left a track
Only one trace of him was found
in gully 300 yards from the place
he left the trail. Campbell and
Clarke separated, several other
searchers being with them. Both
parties walked more than 35 miles
over the rock strewn desert, but
found no further trace of the miss
ing prospector.
Saturday night Campbell and
Clarke returned to the sheriffs
office. Clarke stayed only long
enough to rest. He procured two
horses in Brawley, trucked them as
near the scene of the search as
possible, and resumed the hunt.
Sheriff Campbell today expressed
the opinion that Gunderson may
have wandered into the mountains
Is miles from camp. He could cas-
lily become confused there. With
out food or water. death would be
certain unless help arrived
GunderSon had only recently
come to Imperial Valley from Oak
land, where he worked for the
Spring Valley Water company. In
the hope that Gunderson did catch
ride out of the desert, the sher-
ifs office today issued a descrip-
ton of Gunderson as he was when
he left his camp.
He was wearing a vest over a
jersey ribbed undershirt. He wore
no outer shirt. He wears gray
fedora hat and high laced hiking
boots. He is five feet, six inches
tall, weighs 12l pounds, has gray
eyes and gray hair.

TRACE OF LOST PROSPECTOR

Losing hope with every hour that
passed. citizens posses under the
direction of Undersheriff Rodney
Clarke today continued their in
tensive search of the Chocolate
mountains for Fred Gunderson, 68-
year-old prospector who left his
camp at Pegleg Wells three miles
northeast of Salvation Springs last
Wednesday morning, and never re-
turned.
Searchers were heartened by the
possibility that Gunderson is not
dead or dying in the desert country,
but safe in some place to which
word of the search for him has not
yet reached.
Sheriff George L. Campbell un-
covered this possibility Saturday
when he discovered on a desert
road near Pegleg Wells, tracks of an
automobile that had stopped. From
the Malapai rock that hides all
tracks. set of footprints came on
to the dirt of the road where the
automobile had halted.

DISTRICTS PLATED

Legal descriptions of the bound
aries OF proposed new supervisorial
districts in this county today are
being compiled by Henry Burk,
county surveyor, for submission to
the district attorney so that he
may draw up an ordinance desig-
mating the new districts.
A tentative map of the new dis
trictS is in Burk's hands, so that
from it he may furnish legal des-
criptions which will be necessary in
the rediStricting ordinance
Reapportionment of the county
into supervisorial districts was au-
thorized some time ago by the
county board of supervisors. Edward
H Shaw, county clerk, has been in
charge Of the work of redistricting.
Before the new supervisorial dis
tricts can be established an ordi-
nance designating them must be
passed by the board of supervisors.
This will necessitate establishment
of new voting precincts in many
cases.

cumbed to the influence Of fem
ininity. 1t doesn't have rigid, set
lines this year. Not quite as soft
as the dressmaker type suits, of
course, but not the way it used to
be, either.
Fitted a little at the waistline in
feminine way, with a skirt that
flares slightly and is aesy to walk
in, And one of the new things to
watch for is the wider lapels-which
you can see in the Sketch-almost
wide enough to be called revers.
This is a fine suit if your figure
is energetic and your shoulders are
straight. If not . better consider
one of the other types that are
easier fitting and more dress-like in
their design.
Easy to Wear
The suit with a pocket which
wraps around to the side, closing
down the front in diagonal line
(illustrated) Is one of the easiest
for all figures to wear. And it's one
of the most fashionable.
The suit sketched has lots of good
details. Cd The narrow roll collar.
(2) The belted waistline. CD The
peplum effect. "a The three
quarter sleeves-new and smart.
But there are many others just
as good. Some suits with this
diagonal closing won't have any
collar at all. Others will have
collars with notched lapels.
Lots of them-most of them, in
fact-will have full length sleeves.
Some will have the peplum sec
ton cut straight across the front.
Which ever is the most becoming
to you is the most fashionable for
you.
ButtOned Front
Another new spring suit type is
the one that buttons straight up
the middle of the front illustrated
Note that this one is collarless, has
raglan sleeves, a wide belt and patch
pockets.
Some of these button-up-the
front suits don't button quite as
high as the one sketched ard
some button even higher. You can
tell which is the most becoming
by trying on all kinds.
And if you like it with narrower
belt, set in sleeves and slashed
pockets, you can find those details,
too.
