Price, $1.50.) These stories are chockfull of the lure of the mys terious and thrilling adventure. The title tale tells of the magic power of a secret drug obtained from the ancient Llamas of Thibet and called by them "Shank Kambu." Other corking good stories In this collec tion are "Skookum and the Bliz zard"; "Tho Gold from Pino Ridge," "Old Sprangle l'aw," und a half dozen others. These tales are the very best of the hundreds and hun dreds which Mr. Stovall has written In the past ek'ht years.

Problems which require attention to details are worked out by the board of direc tors which, as can be seen by the list, Is a representative body of men of varied Interests. The league Is at present composed of 125 of the progressive orchard bits of the valley.
