Made by Stocks

NEW YORK. March 24-P)-
Bnoyed by a farther lull In Euro
pean war worries and renewed
hopes of business tax revisions by
congress, the stock market made
another forward more today. -.
, The principal fly in the more
optimistic market ointment, how
ever, was the continued slow go
ing orer the recovery ronte.
Transfers for the five hoars tr
tailed only 845,330 shares against
833,890 for the day before. The
turnover was the smallest for a
fall session since March 7.
Gains . ran to more than 3
points at the best,' but top marks
were chipped down in! many cases
by profit taking at the close. The
Associated Press average of 80 is
sues was op .8 of a point at 49.3,
or about 4 points under the year's
peak. -
Prune Thrips
Are Emerging
Serious Injury Already Is
Resulting in Many
Orchards Here
Prune thrips have ! been emer
ging for over a week now, and the
warm weather has forced the buds
ahead so that serious injury is re
sulting in many orchards, Robert
E. Reider, assistant county agent
and horticultural Inspector, said
yesterday after a survey of orch
ards in the county, j.
Growers who plan on spraying
should do so at the first possible
opportunity now.
Thrips can cause, severe injury
to buds anytime after they reach
the green tip stage of . growth
which is now the case in practic
ally all orchards. Growers who
suspect thrips on prune and pear
buds should examine buds and
where they are as numerous as
one Insect to a bud, serious injury
may result.
The thrips are tiny winged in
sects about 1-20 of an inch long
which fly to the trees from the
soil: ' : " " .
' Spring Saggestions
The spray formulae recom
mended are: liquid lime sulphur,
3 gallons; 40 per cent nicotine
sulphate, 1 pint; water, 97 gal
lons. Or, mlsclble oil emulsion,
having the following specifica
tions: viscosity .102-110 degrees
Saybolt; unsulp honated rsidue
test of 65 diluted to give two per
cent actual oil; and nicotine sul
phate 40 percent, 1 pint; water to
make 100 gallons.
A thorough coverage of every
bud is essential. Pressure at the
pump should be maintained at 309
pounds or more during the spray
ing operations.
If thrips persist, the grower
should spray a second time about
a week after the first applica
tion. . - .

' r. CHAPTER XX Vn !
When Carson and his corarader
returned to the others of the party,
Fremont spoke to them frankly as
man to man.
. "We are turning back .to Cali
: forma," he said. ... . . .
. nniMmio looked mn. Ha knew
'aa well as Fremont to what dancer
they would return in Mexican Cali
fornia. But- Kit spoke up against

M" IClUUIsb AWE SaUW AUEt svasiime ' ,
; "Not until we punish the Klamath
tribe." he said smraly. - :
- Fremont cave Kit his chance at
. revenge snd returned with part of
. the company to the camp- near the
, outlet where they had been attack
ed. " Kit, with ten companions, left
v rif you find yourself in need ofl
at " hi . Mlmnl
. fee ns."( : . r.
' But Kit was in no mood to ask
-for help. He followed the Indian
. trail;, be found . their villa, Set
among pines the rkh village of fifty
woven rush lodges teemed with war
- riors. . Around the fires Indian wo-
men, naked save .f or fringed aprons,
were sorting over baskets of dried
grasshoppers and acorns, preparing
to store them arainst the winter, :
. .ThAt'a, the. birarest. villaare I've
, seen in Oregon,'! said Kit, before be
led bis ten in noisy charge.:
The startled braves fought to de
fend their families and lodges. But
Kit was like many, warriors that
day. Grief for Basil Lajepnesse
hia trail companion of many years,
had stunsr him to murderous fury.
AfVw the tribe lied into the groves
" of . pine'-' around the lake, to
scatter like terrified quail. Kit still
' pursued, them, shooting - down all
; who strayed within, range, of bis
rifle fire. Returning to the Tillage,
he ordered it set ablate.
At the southern end of the lake
Fremont wan atsirtled to. see rolline
clouds ox smoke, v ,
- "Kit must be surrounded and In
danger." he exclaimed and ordered
his men to horse and raced around
the lake. -
But be found his eleven buckskin-
clad followers whooping like fiends
- around the- smoking ruins of the
-Klamath village, and in a primitive
dance of victory giving vent to their
overcharged emotions. "
. Next day they set out for . Cali-
fornia. - - i :. -
'As they traveled over mountain
passes they caught glimpses behind
rocks and trees of the naked bodies
of the Indian survivors following
them. Wherever they camped arrows
came whistling over their , heads
from unseen sources. By night, by
day. they were followed, serosa
' Mntk.M c A..ffftw mvA IrttA f.a 1L.
. fornia. J: '', .
This trail they had followed be
' fore, in '44, beset, by starvation,
snow and madness. - This would be
the traa taken by the Argonauts of
'49. Now it was a war traiL-
They came to a narrow passage
between darkling peaks. Kit halted.
"Colonel. If I was an Injun," he
said, frowning, "I'd choose this
clace to wait in ambush. I dont
like the looks of it at all. . Let's go
around it. - -
r The others protested. To detour
the pass would mean additional days
ef climbing rocky peaks and clearing
caths through manzanita. But Kit
was adamant. - He led the protesting
explorers around the mountain.
' "Told joe sol", be remarked lav
eonicajly two days later when they
reached tb other end of the pass.
For a band of Klamath Indians
were waiting for them on a peak
overlooking the narrow passage. To
have traveled in that pass under
their arrows would have meant an
nihilation. . ' - ' -
The Indians' sentinel, seeing
them, gave the alarm. Instantly the
band, infuriated by the failure of
their ambush, sprang upon their tin
bridled and unsaddled Indian ponies
and dashed down; the mountain to
meet the whites. ' -
"When Indians come into the open
to fight, they want revenge more
than they want to live," Kit found
time to explain to Gillespie before
be rave the order to eharsre.
White and red met on the rocky
slope. ' One splendid old Indian cried
out swift gnttural'orders as he rode
op put the .very rifles of bis enemy.
Kit, lifting his rifle against the Kla
math was ' suddenly 'transfixed.
How magnificent a figure was the
old chief, with his bronzed shoulders
and the bronxe turkey feathers deck
ing braids undecked with gray I Was
he the father, perhaps; of the young
chief who had died by the lake? He
sat his horse like a king; against the
redwood-darkened: background of
primitive California. Arrows were
clenched between his teeth and his
copper arms drew a long and pow
erful bow. ; His arrows, trained on
Kit, sped past the scout's body like
sizzling flame. ? -
And Kit. sitting his horse with
rifle lifted, could not fire.
The Klamath chief seemed in that
moment to represent in some mys
terious way to Kit Carson the ma
nincence and primitive power of
West that few had known and loved
as deeply as Kit, The shining figure
on the stubby, powerful Oregon
pony seemed to be sayinari .

ly courting death. He knew.
thoosands of his : redskin braves
were learning from the Atlantic
to the Padfle, from Canada to Mex
ico, that the coming of the white
race to their bunting - grounds
meant only death to the tribesmen.
And Kit, dodging through his show-
ring arrows, pulled trigger at last.
and beard it snap uselessly.
.His gun was broken. He sat bis
horse helplessly. - The chief rode
his stout pony nearer and pulled
back hia powerful bow against an
arrow tipped with poisoned steel.
The long shaft was aimed at Kit's
heart. : ' -.-i,:'.-
i Fremont, horrified, fired. In his
excitement the shot went' wild.
Then, while both be and Kit were
left helpless, Sacremento the glor
ious gray stallion Sutter bad given
to Fremont as if sensing the dan
ger, snorted and reared and struck
with the steel shod hoofs at the In
dian rider, striking him from the
small pony, striking him to earth
and to death. '
. "He was handsome figure of a
chief." mused Kit after the fight
was over and the Klamath Indians,
who had sought revenge to be twice
defeated,, raced away! single file
through - the. pass toward Oregon,
"Sacremento, I owe my life to you !"
Lieutenant GQlepsie stood shak
ing his head with astonishment. - -
: "By heavens, this has been rough
work I" he exclaimed. "Ill take care
to let them know about it at Wash,
ingtos."
Heaven doesnt count for much
out west," answered Fremont. "As
for Washington, it will be long
enough before we see it again."
Several weeks later, in June,
1846, the Fremont 1 men encamped
near Suttera Fort on the Sacra
mento River and history, began in
California. Excited and encouraged
by their return a srouoof Ameri
can settlers formed an .organization
known as the Bear Flag Party. In-. ;

American officer in California and

and secretary, and took them to
Sutter's Fort to be held there as
hostages of war, to the arrest em
barrassment of Sutter. Fremont as
sumed charge of the Fort, made it
his headquarters and declared the
Mexican territory of California to
be in a state of revolution.
This was the annexation of Cali
fornia. ," ' "-"-.v - J
: On the. following day at Sonoma,
In the Plaza before Vallejo's adobe
fort and the low mission building?
of San Frandseo Soluo, the Ameri
cans raised a peculiar home-made
flag-upon which a California grizz
ly eyed a single star. On it was
printed crudely t -
"The Republic of California."
'For twenty days this Calif ornia
Republic would endure.! So Ameri

and the praise or blame of this
would be laid to John Charles Fre

thousand volunteers were swarming
under the American flag; - that
General Taylor was winning vic
tories on the Rio Grande; that at
Fort Leavenworth General Step
ben Watts Kearney was preparing,
with his "Army of the West," to
march over the Santa F4 Trail to
capture Mexico; then march on to
capture California. f
: Washington had ordered Kearney
to annex California.
While Washington planned and
Kearney marched, Fremont acted.
Fremont, who bad lifted the stars
and Stripes over California, now
upheld the Bear Flag. -
His followers were men without
fear who took no thought of con
sequences. . Out ef Sonoma ; they
marched, one hundred and sixty
strong, to the Mission of San Rafael

Wheat Closes
. Even to Under
Drop at Opening Attracts
Commercial Baying to
- I-' Erase Loss:
CHICAGO, March 2 A
drop of cent in wheat prices at
the opening today attracted
enough commercial purchasing to
rally the market and wipe out the
early losses. Wheat closed unchan
ged to lower compared with
yesterday's finish, with : May C 7
and July 7-. .
Although trading volume was
not large, the opening dip encour
aged commercial interest, with
much of the buying credited to el
evators, millers and exporters. Pit
brokers expressed belief some of
these orders may have been for
lifting ! hedges on grain or flour
sold for export under the subsidy
plan.
Chicago prices followed the ac
tion at Liverpool, where quota
tions closed - lower, only
temporarily. Winnipeg 'wheat,
however sagged -4 and show
ed only fractional recovery at the
close. I
Some indication of the extent of
hedge removing in the wheat pit
was shown by the fact that mills
bought 78,000 bushels. Norway
took 180,000 bushels of Canadian
wheat for May shipment In addi
tion to more than 200,000 bushels
purchased yesterday but outside
of this little new international
business could be confirmed de
spite lowering of ocean freight
rates.
