McKon zle, who for tho pnst year lias had a stall In the public market. Her hus band is an Invalid and unable to labor, and It liar fallen to Mrs. Mc Kenzle and her daughter to do the work. "We came here In November, 1913," states Mrs. McKonzle, "and had $1500 In cash and our livestock. Wo rented tho old Sollss place on Orlffln cieok from Win. Schebel, nRweliiK to pay him, upon represen tations made to us of tho placo's pro ductiveness, $1000 rental. Wo wero told that 200 of the 240 acres wero tillable, with not 10 acres waste on the farm, that there were 12 acres In alfalfa that novcr failed to cut five tonH to the acre and that the creek was a running stream throughout the year from which wo could Irrl Kato. We paid $200 cash and Rave a mortgage for $800 on tho live ntoek. We spent tho balnnco of the ? 1 Ti n 0 In purchasing seed nnd sow ing the place. "We are practical farmers and un derstand arming, though on account of the difference In climatic condi tions between Iown and tho Itoguc river valley, wo mado mistakes through following the advlco of tho owner of tho place. For Instance, wo planted some grain In April (too late we know now), and lost It all. "After wo got on tho place, wo found that there was only five acres in alfalfa Instead of 12, that there wbh -10 acres waste land, and only 0T nrrcH sultablo for grain, and tho sea son too dry to produce n crop. Wo realized, from our investment of Jh'OO nnd labor, only $37 from al falfa and $10 from pears. Our money was gono and our landlord foreclosed on his mortgage taking our stock. I paid Mulkey nnd Cherry $fi0 to bring suit for misrepresenta tion on the part of Mr. Schobcl, but the cam? was lost. "To prevent our being slipped of everything our kind-hearted neigh bors rairi'.l JI.C which was paid Mr. School, who loin-til my daughter's pony, n cow and colt. 1 have rented Xlve acres near town and am running n truck garden, sellng my products at the public market nnd trying to make a living. I want to publicly thank our Orlffln creek neighbors for their unselfish help. All we ask Is a square deal nnd n chance to mnko a living." E CAR 10 Tn tin effort to verify the repent of WOMAN A1E INKS NEIGHBORS ASS OD TOUR DEATH VALLEY the findings of nu immense body of C ore in tlio heart of Death valley, Cali fornia, O. K. Parker, n well-known engineer of Los Angeles, with n rmrtv of nssihtnnts, has just left that city to tour through Death valley li.v mo tor ear. According to the statements of Fovornl prospectors, recently letiimcd from Death valley, large (piautitics of molybdenite, nn ore very lit tin known in metallurgy, luive been discovered in that section. Molybdenite, Itv a new process of refining, can be in corporated in steel to make the liiltcr infinitely stronger and lighter Hum any metal hereloforer discovered by i jiietulliirgisls. With the prenenl trend toward lightness in the construction of motor cars, the new ore would bo of inestimnblo value to tho automobile industry, nnd the Los Angeles engin eers will investigate the region thor oughly before returning. A Dodge llros.' touring car will mnke the trip into the vnllcv, nnd it is expected that (lie car will be sub jected to n terrific test in the desert regions. JJnterin? Death valley, the motorics will encounter every o.x tiemo of weather nnd rond conditions . ranging from the olimb of si moun- tnin ranges nvemginw over n mile high, to the bottom of the valley, which is H00 feet below sen level.
