Driving my taxicab the
second day brought novel
experience.
I got it at Fourteenth st.
and Rhode Island Ave. n. W.
Cruising along there l was
hailed by a man driving a
cab of the same company for
which I was working. He
had a young woman with
him. AS l pulled alongside
of him he got out of his cab,
opened the door of my cab
handed me 80 cents and then
helped the girl into my cab.
He said:
Buddy take my sister to
work at Florida Ave. and Fourth
st. N. E., and be sure to take
good care of her."
Before I could reply he was
in his cab and off. Queered for
the minute by his actions
asked the girl If she was his
sister. She said:

he does rather good because
everybody rides then. But on
bright sunny days they walk.
1 guess he will do very little
business this summer.

he did. She answered:

 QUARTERLY DIVIDEND

NEW YORK, July 27. Directors of the United States Steel Corpora tion expressed their confidence in an early business recovery by de- claring out of the company's sur plus the regular quarterly dividend of 1.75 a share on the preferred stock.

 In his radio talk the official said that Germany is determined to or ganize a national defense army capable of providing the German nation with ample security without the help of some other nation, or nations.
 In case Britain or France does not disarm, the only alternative Germany has is to increase her army to compare in relationship with the strength of the armies of other nations.

MANY GOOD CLEANyPS WILL BE TAKEN FROM
 CACHE CREEK, SEASON

Practically all placer operators in Cache Creek are in the money and promise to finish the season with good-sized cleanups, is the report brought in by Merrill Riddick, who came down from the Interior camp Saturday.
 The largest operators are Chas. Harper and Albert Murray, who have a lease from James Murray, Albert's father, on the holdings from which James Murray has taken out a fortune sufficient to retire. The first cleanup, says Rid dick, was approximately 100 ounces, which computed on the value of Cache Creek gold, would give $1,- 400. Operations are continuing be- low Rambler gulch on side pay left by the dredge. RumorS are that MT. Murray, while in San Francis co, is working on negotiations for moving the dredge from the upper end of the creek, where it finish ed in shallow ground, to the point where it began operations on the Pineo bar, below the well known Ellis cut.
 Matt Hamburger and Kroeskey, holding lay on Dollar creek, have cut into the money and are report ed to have prospects of a good cleanup.
 Joe Kimball and Joe Glaskey are doing we'll on Falls creek.
 Fred Dalzell, handwriting on Cache across from Rambler, is re- ported to have cleaned up $1,0O0 thus far with 90 days yet to go be- fore the season closes.
 Over on Peters creek, the Peters Mining Co.,, are repeating last sea- sons success, their first cleanup being reported as $6,00O.
 Prospecting on the benches has revealed that there is more pay in Cache creek than has been taken out and that the camp has a long life before it.
 The old crushed quartz zone, so prolific in times past, has been re- covered and where operations are in progress near these glacial de- posits, good returns are being se- cured.
