SALTON SEA IS DISAPPEARING Possibility That the Land It Has Cov- ered Will Be Soon Available for Agriculture. ’ —_— An Inland. sea which, according to geologists, has changed from sea to desert, and back again to sea, at least fifty times since its inception, is one of the wonders of the Imperial valley in California. At the present time the Salton sea, which is 160 feet below the ocean’s level, is receding from its banks at the rate of approximately a mile a year. Today the sea is 18 miles long and nige miles wide at its widest point. In the heat of the tor- rid season the temperature in its neighborhood is from 10 to 20 degrees cooler than that of the surrounding country and outdoor dances are held on one of the abandoned fish-piers left high and dry by the receding wa- ters. The Salton sea Is situated in the very heart of the principal date- producing region of America. The land left bare by the retreating wa- ters is eagerly .sought by agricultur- ists, who stake their claims far out into the water in anticipation of fur- ther recessions. The soil is of salt- {ncrusted adobe clay and very fertile. Mud volcanoes, miniature geysers and bubbling “paintpots” attract many tourists to the spot. The quality of the volcanic “paintpots” is declared to rival the best European sienna and umber. Utilization of this new-found color supply may soon render the con- tinuation of Furopean imports of such pigment unnccessary. SEEK FGR TIA3Z IN ARCTIC Boston Capitalists Form Organization Something Like the Famous Hudson’s Bay Company. Word has just come out of the North of a rival to the Hudson's Bay com- pany that has sprung up. It is an or- ganization backed by Boston Interests and its aim is to get a share of the trade that the “Ancient and Honorable Association of Adventurers” has mo- nopolized for over a century. Last spring Capt. Louis Lane of Nome, Alaska, was sent into the Arctic to es- tablish a string of 28 trading posts for the Boston body. The expedition went into the North via Calgary, Alberta, with eight car- loads of goods, of an estimated value of $240,000. In addition to this they sent in a river power boat for opera- tion on the Mackenzle river. The ves- sel was sent in sections and assembled on the big river. The party worked slowly down the river, canvassing and exploring among the tribes and only reached Fort Macpherson when winter came. They will stay there until spring opens the river and allows them to proceed further. The company intends locating its posts by the pioneering party, and will then keep them sup- plied by means of ships from Nome during the short summer.

Lo AGreat Au thors' Production SUNDAY MONDAY MATINEES at 2:30 York Tribune. The first ambassador, Frederico A. Pezet, has arrived in this country and the state department seems inclined to annul for his benefit Its famous Costa Rican “house rule,” to the effect that no diplomatie recog- unition can be given to a Latin-Ameri- can government coming into power through revolution. President Leguia assunied control in Lima by force last year and exiled his predecessor, doing 80 on the ground that he has been elected president by the people for a term to begin a few months later and that the administration in office was planning to count him out. Mr. Pezet will be welcomed as the representative of Peru, a state which has always had the most friendly rela- tions with the United States. He served here formerly both as first sec- retary of legation and as minister. He knows this country thoroughly, speaks English as well as he does Spanish and enjoys in an exceptional degree the esteem of government and other circles in Washington, in which he has long been at home. “Quick Action. “The war made exceptional oppor- tunities.” “Yes; a fellow could begin at the bottom and at the same time go over the top.” PAGE FIVE All We Ask Is a Fair Trial of BROOKE BOND TEA ,because it’s difficult to deseribe its AROMA and SUPERB FLAVOR.
