Of course they had read about all

The search now became frantic, but
just as fruitless. And hard to tell but
they might have been searching yet
if it hadn't been for Eddie Dixon.
About 1920 o'clock he rambled
downstairs from the second floor of
the Treacy home. He and Billy
had gone to the upper rear porch and
had amused themselves with a game
for awhile, he said. Becoming drow-
sy, they had stopped to rest and had
fallen asleep.
And they didn't seem to be much
concerned that they had been "found."

PERMANENT IMPROVEMENT
Is BEING MADE AT CAMPS
Forests Are Being Cleared of
Underbrush and Roads and Tel
ephOne Lines Being Built
CAMP SITES ARE CLEARED

Under the direction of experienced
foremen 100 Baltimore men and 20

forestry projects.
Major jobs comprise the drainage

rebuilding the dam and the removal
of hundreds of old stumps and logs
from the bed of the lake; the con-
struction of several permanent build
ings at the resident warden's head
quarters; construction of a servicea-
bic motor road from New Germany
to Savage River along Poplar Lick
Greek; the construction of another
road following the old tram grade
along the top of Meadow Mountain to
the National Highway; building a tel
ephone line from Grantsville through
New Germany to Swallow Falls, dis
tance of % miles; and the opening of
many miles of boundaries and addi-
tional permanent fire lines. If time
permits numerous springs will be
cleaned out and walled up for perma-
nent recreational use.
A local saw mill has been operated
recently under the direction of one of
the camp foremen and a crew COM

are being cut from dead chestnut on
the State forest and the lumber is to
be used at the camp and at Camp $50

camp, expressed satisfaction with the
general progress, the willingness to

from Potomac Camp to Deer Park,
where it will connect with the c. & P.

of the two wire system. The mess
hall and tent floors are nearing COM
pletion. The reservoir and water sup
ply, recently finished, have made the
bathhouse popular. The road into the
camp has gone forward until it is now
about completed. Work on the dam,
temporarily halted, has begun again,
and the regular work of clearing,
making forest trails, etc., continues.
Swallow Falls Camp
The 12O-foot mass shack at Swallow
Falls is to be finished this week and
the camp site will be moved to the
mill where the men will have hot and
cold running water, shower baths and
board floors in their tents.
The area around the first and second
falls has been cleared of underbrush
and undesirable trees and the entire
section has been made more beauti-
full. Old trails have been widened
and cleared and new ones blazed thru
the woods, making more numerous
camp sites and picnic grounds.

 New York. Aug 11-(UP)-A late rise in gold mining stocks toe day turned declining stock list upward for an irregular close.
 Trading was dull Up to D. m. sales totaled only 100000 shares. Tickcrs were idle at intervals.
 Weakness in grains was the prin- cipal factor in an early setback. After the grain market closed, however, stocks behaved better. Wheat ended the day at declines of 4 1-2 to cents a bushel: corn off 1 7-S to 2 1-2 cents: oats off 2 3-8 to 2 3-4 cents. and rye off 1-2 to 4 1-4 cents. Cotton at one time was off more than $1.5O bale.
 7 Late buying in gold mining stocks brought Homcstake to 240 up z 1-2 points: Alaska Juneau 27 up 1 1-2; Dome Mines 31 5-S up 1 1-2 and Mcintyre Porcupine 34 IA up 1 3-4. Other issues turned up from the lows.
 The railroad equipments also showed group strength with Bald- win up 1ss at 13Z and American Locomotive up an equal amount at 31. Lima Locomotive and American Car and Foundry were higher. Anticipation of railroad buying of equipment in the near future provided the impetus for the rise.
 Wet stocks were mixed In the early trading all of them registered gains. declined later and rallied from the lows to close irregular.
 Railroad shares held fairly well. New York Central met support on declines. It closed at 44A off %. Union Pacific closed at 120h .up h and Atchison 62A up %.
 Farm equipments moved con- trary to grains for a time, later sagged off to moderate losses and rallied later, Case closing at 70% off 4 and International Harves- ter 35N off %. Mail order shares fiuctuated with support noted on all declines. They closed above the lows.
 The last stock to appear on the tape was Johns Manville preferred, an inactive issue, at 105. up 13 points from the previous close.
 Wall street construed the gov ernment crop estimate as bearish on wheat but favorable for the feed grains. When wheat broke more than cents, however, the other grains followed. The spring wheat estimate indicated a crop of 159,- 000.000 bushels, while private esti- mates had looked for a crop of 147,000,000 bushels. In the case of corn the government figure of D. 273,000.0O0 bushels, compared with the private figure of 2,370, 100000 bushels.
