Purse Snotchers
Make Bad Guess

Come up to San Diego and see
us sometime" w. o. Riley and Ar
thur Gore, both of the coast city,
are reported to have told woman
as they snatched purse out of her
hands at a local beer garden late
Saturday night and made their es-
cape in an automobile parked near
by.
The woman, however, did not
have to make the trip to San Diego
in order to "see us sometime" as she
visited them in police court this
morning when they pleaded not
guilty to a petty theft charge and
had their trial set for August Is.
They were remanded to the county
Jail under $l00 bail.
Following the snatching of heI
purse, the police report states, the
women called police headquarters
giving an accurate description of the
men and also of the car they were
driving. Two officers overlook them
just as they were leaving the city or
their way to the coast.

ATEN GIVES INTERESTING DATA
ONEXPERIENCES WITH FLAX CROP

Flax growers should be able to
raise from 20 to 80 bushels per acre
on fair, medium hard soil and from
80 to 40 bushels per acre or best
medium hard soil, Ira Aten, irriga-
ton district director from the Ell
Centro division and one of the pi-
oneers in flax cultivation in the
county stated tbs morning.
In the 1876 acres of flax planted
in four fields and harvested by Aten
this year the crop averaged 291&
bushels per acre, field run and
weighed before delivering to the
warehouse, he said. Of this from
five to 10 per cent should be de-
Quoted for dockage or waste.
A special report given by Aten on
each of the four fields contains
much of interest to the flax grow
er. The first field contained "a
acres. 1t was planted on October 26,
of last year and was watered five
times after planting. Rag weeds
came up rather thickly and there
was but a fair stand of flax. The
yield was 291a bushels per acre.
Field No. 2, consisting of 81 acres
was planted On October 80. 1t was
watered five times after planting
and was fairly free of weeds with a
perfect stand resulting. The yield in
this field was 39l2 bushels per acre.
In field No. 8, consisting of 20
acres, planting was done on Novem-
ber 10. 1t was Watered four times.
Some weeds grew in the flax with a
fair stand resulting which yielded
81 bushels to the acre.
Field No. 4, consisting of 45 acres,
was planted November 27. 1t was
watered four times and badly infec-
ted with mustard and other seeds,
giving only a fair stand. The seed
used was imported and gave low
est yield of the lour fields, estimated
at q bushels to the acre.
Relative to the cost per acre of
raising flax, Aten offers the follow
ing figures:
Flowing the land, $3.50; remak-
ing borders, so cents; floating, rs
cents; cleaning bitches and leveling
land, rs cents; irrigation twice be-
fore planting to bring up all weeds,
40 cents; wages of man to irrigste,
25 cents: discing and dragging be-
fore planting, rs cents; 40 pounds of
seed per acre at five cents a pound,
So; drilling in seed, rs cents and ir-
rigating five times, commencing
four to six weeks after planting,
$1.85, making a total of $1150.
Harvesting cost estimates as to %
bushels per acre and hauling to
warehouse are as follows, according
to Aten figures:
Windrowing, 81; threshing this
year Sc. - sacks at 10 cents each

MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 6. Gov.
Floyd B. Olson smashed with all
the power Of a military dictator to-
day at employers whom he accused
of preventing settlement of a three
weeks old strike of 5000 truck
drivers.
Twenty minutes after midnight,
the deadline set in an ultimatum
delivered to truck owners Saturday,
the farmer-labor governor signed
an order revoking military permits
issued to 1000 trucks during II
days of martial law.
A community of $4,000 persons
was left with transportation facil-
tiles for only the barest necessities
Grocers were able to obtain
only bread, milk and ice. Farmers
were permitted to deliver vege-
tables and fruits directly to con-
sumers, but housewives were with
out laundry or cleaning service
and were unable to purchase many
table 'luxuries."
The most significant section of
Olson's drastic orders was a clause
permitting Immediate resumption
of service by any truck owner who
would sign the So-called Haas
Dunnigan plan for strike settle
ment.
The plan was proposed last week

DENVER, Colo, Aug. 6. U.P) -
Prominent stage players in the cast
of "Othello" Shakespearean drama
which concluded its final production
at Central City's famous opera
house Saturday night, and promin-
ent members of Denver society, were
caught yesterday in a c1oudburst
that flooded the mountain district.
The actors and others in their
group were enroute down Golden
Gate canyon when the cloudburSt
halted them. A bridge had washed
away which necessitated their wad-
ing through knee deep water, when
the heavy rain subsidized, to automo-
bileS on the other side of the gulch.
Those included in the group were
Walter Huston and his wife, Nan
Sutherland, leading man and wo-
man in "Othello,' Robert Edmond
Jones, widely known in dramatic
circles and director of the produc-
ton at Central City, his wife, Mrs.
Margaret c. Jones.

MINNESOTA GOVERNOR in DRASTIC
MOVE TO SETTLE TRUCK STRIKE

by the Rev. Francis j. Haas and
E. H. Dunnigan, federal medi-
ators. The union accepted it but
employers submitted a counter
proposal different in several de-
tails.
Move Resented
The employers advisory council,
representing 166 firms, expressed
bitter resentment of the order as
dictatorial club to force their
submission to union terms.
A few hours after Olson signed
the order union leaders jubilantly
announced that two employers had
signed contracts. Father Haas said
other employers indicated they
would yield today to the COVER
nors pressure.
This order will expose the
cf1iselers who have prevented set
tlement of this strike" said Olson
Citizens will then know where
the fault rests and will take such
action as they, as patriotic citizens,
believe advisable"
The Haas-Dunnigan plan pro-
vides for election of collective bar
gaining representatives among en-
ployes of all the affected firms;
wage of 521a cents an hour for
drivers and of 4212 cents for help
ers, platform leaders and inside
employees of produce firms, and
unemployment of all strikers.

HITLER PAYS
TRIBUTE To

United Press Staff Correspondent
BERLIN, Aug. 6-Adolf Hitler,
leader of Germany, looked hopeful
ly towards a future of peace to-
day, calling on the people to fol-
low perpetually the strong and
honorable leadership of their dead
president, Paul Won Hindenburg.
Hitler delivered a moving eulogy
of Hindenburg at services in the
Krcll opera house. He prayed that
God would help the government find
the right path to guarantee our
people happiness and peace and
Iprotect them from disaster and war,
even as this great one (Hinden-
burg always sincerely and whole
heartedly desired"
In solemn session, the all-Nazi
Reichstag paid final tribute to the
old field marshal who called its
party to power.
The sober green and black decora-
tions outlined against the dim ma
hogany walls of the Kroll auditor
ium were relieved only by dead
white masses of lilies and aSterS
which formed the setting for a cere-
mony which in simplicity reflected
the life of the grand old man" in
whose memory it was held.
Service uniforms were scattered
in the audience-some of them
from the old imperial army which
Hindenburg commanded The diplo-
matte corps was present in full force.
The former crown prince was pre-
sent, Col. Oskar Won Hindenburg,
son of the dead president, and his
wife were in the front row.
Through Hitlers speech to the
closing music of Siegfried's funer-
al march from Wagner's "Gotter-
dammerung" the Somber mood was
not once broken. At the conclusion,
Hitler shook hands with the Hin
denburgs while the entire audience
stood in a silent salute. The audi
ence filed out quietly without shout
ing the "heils" which ordinarily
close reichStag sessions.

GLACIER PARK FLORA
IN DISPLAY

Glacier Park, June 11.-W h
early spring flowers already
blooming in abundance in Glacier
National park, nature lovers an
ticipate a season of profuse floral
display. Reports from almost all
districts of the park indicate that
the season is from one to four
weeks in advance of last year and
many flowers are blooming earlier
than usual.
Perhaps most noticeable among
early blossoms are those of the
bear grass which are beginning
to bloom in the lower portions of
the park. For the past two years
bear grass flowers have been
scarce in the park. Usually the
flowers begin coming early in the
low places and gradually show
themselves in the higher locations
as the snow recedes. The bear
grass is known as the distinctive
flower of Glacier park and its
large, white blossoms are known
to countless park visitors of past
years.

Nearly 1000 Employees to
Take Up Duties for
1884 Season
Special to The News

Yellowstone Park, Wyo., June
20.-With the arrival in Yellow
stone park this week of nearly a
thousand employees, the 1884 sea-
son goes into full swing. Recruit
ed from all over the United
States, largely from colleges and
universities, these Yellowstone
"savages" are brought in special
trains to Gardiner and West Vel
lowstone, Mont, and Immediately
transported to all parts of the
park.
On Friday the last contingent
checked in, and overnight the no
tells, lodges, housekeeping cabins
and cafeterias hummed with ac-
tivity. Early visitors have been
cared for at the cafeteries, gen.
eral stores, and cabins; but with
in a day after the special trains
arrive, the lodges will be opened
to the public. Hotels will open
their doors today when regular
rail travel begins.
Transforming the park centers
in spirit, as we'll as in material
ways, the "savages" bring along
their own Yellowstone songs,
their own entertainment, and
more Importantly their own lang
uage. Park visitors rolling up to
lodges in the big yellow buses are
greeted with spirited songs, as be-
fits the dudes. Those who drive
in with their own cars are known
as "sagebrushers".
Driving the bus will be a gear
jammer"; a "pack-rat" unloads
the baggage and escorts the "dude"
to his quarters; a "pillow-punch-
err tides up the cabin; a "heaver"
comes laden with a heaping tray
of welcome food; a "pearI-diver"
takes care of the dishes; a "90-day

ming a "song-wrangler" directs

moon is full, the traditional pas
time of 'rotten logging" or dat
comes into its own.
