Boundary Line.
Yesterday the harbor line commission held .
meeting, at which al the members were present
Colonel W. +. Proeser, OF Yakima: Senator
Frank II. Richards, Of whatcom; D. C. Guern-
ser, Of Dayton; Ex-Governor Eugene
SempIe, OF Seattle, and Colonel H. f.
Garretson, Of Tacoma. The committee arranged
several minor details regarding the completion
of the survey of Seattle harbor, and arranged for
bringing up the suit TO determine the city
boundary. In January this suit was dropped
from the calendar by common consent, to be
taken up at five days notice; and the commits
sion has voted to ask Judge Orange Jacobs. the
corporation counsel, 10 bring it up.
The suit over the property lying In the harbor
strip 10 now in the supreme court, and will
probably be heard in May. Colonel Prosser said
I'VE believe that the recent decision of the
court In the Eisenbeis- Hatfield case practically
settles the matter in our favor, and accordingly
considerable pressure has been brought to bear
ON us TO get as to proceed at once with the work
In other harbors, but we have decided that pro-
priety demands our waiting until orr own case
is settled, which we hope win be in month or
two"

PREHISTORIC CANALS.


Prehistoric irrigation canals in Arizona
are really worthy Of more notice than is
usually given them. The Salt Gila River
valleys are intersected by a vast network
Of these canals, which antedAte, at least,
the arrival Of Coronado in 1852, for he
mentions these ruins and the traditions
Of the Indians regarding q once dense
population In this region. Modern engin-
eers cannot improve upon the lines Of
these canals, nor in selecting points Of di-
version from the rivers. The first irrigation
canal in that section, the one that has
made Phenix with itspresent population
Of q. 900. simply followed the lines Of one
Of these old canals.
Their extent may be appreciated when
Il is said that in the Salt River valley
alone the land covered by these canals
once aggregated over $4,000 acres, and
the canals themselves, with their laterals,
must have exceeded 1900 miles In length.
This country ID filled with prehistoric
ruins, with walls Of stone or adobe, and
almost every acre contains fragments Of
pottery, shell ornaments, stone impls-
ments and other remains Of population
which can only be estimated in its
aggregate. -EngineeriEg NeDs.

A PERENNIAL CIRCUS.


LOeGlissr: North Yakima is ahead Of
all the other towns in the country in the
way Of shows. She has circus run en-
tirely by home talent; admission free.
They call II the City Council, but ii is q
misnomer, however. For the past year
or more, according to published accounts,
that body has been having Q high old
time at the peoples expense; they have
the third mayor inside Of six
months; councilmen have accused each
other Of being boodlers, liars &C.; out
siders chip in and il is hard to tell who
are councilmen and who are not. The
last attraction put out is reported in the
dispatches. A prominent stOckholdeF in
the electric light and water company
puts forth his strong right arm and smltes
the city clerk, who seized q chair and
but for timely interference, would have
laid the Q. !. and ". man low. And all
this in civilized city.

IAMMG THR BABY.
Queer CuStsns in Different Csuntris.-ISW ths
Chinst. The Egyptians and he Hin.
dos Gd Their AamG.

A HindOo baby is named when il il
twelve days old. and usnaIlv NV tha
mother. Sometimes the father wishes for
another name than that selected BY the
mother. In that case two lamps are
placed over the two names, and the name
over which the lamp burns the brightest
e the one given 10 the child.
In an Egyptian family the parents
choose q name for their baby BY lighting
three wax candles; to each Of these they
give name, one Of the three always be-
longing to some deified personaQe. The
candle that burns the longest bestovs the
name upon the baby.
The Mohammedans sometimes writes
desirable names on Eve slips Of paper,
and these they place in the Koran. The
name upon the irst slip drawn out is
given to the child.

ing in northern Japan, do not receiye
