Bill of Frank O'Dell for hauling dirt,
S23.75, was rejected on recommendation
Of the executive committee.
In reference to the right-Of-way for
the extension of Mill street Mr. Au-
brey stated that the necessary conces-
sions could be obtained for So. 400, which
would admit Of the extension of Mill
avenue to the line of the Padden heir
property, together with the intersect-
ing north and south streets. The
amount of land the little 10 which
would thus be transferred to the city
was stated by Mr.. Aubrey to be equiv
alent to twenty-five twenty-fve-foot
lots, which are generally conceded TO
be worth from $3.50 TO $500 each.
The mayor stated that while he had
no objection to urge against the price
of the property or against the proposed
extension, he was unable to see
where the money IS to come from to
pay for il, unless more bonds are sold
and the money diverted from the pur-
pose intended by the people when the
Indebtedness was authorized. He
called attention to the fact that when
the issue of S2j0,000 i'm bonds was
authorized ii was with the express un-
derstanding that the proceeds, after
paying warrants then outstanding, was
to be used in the construction of sewers.
OF the amount authorized the,old coun-
ell sold bonds to the amount of $3.50, 900,
all of which has been expended, but
only about $4,000 for sewers. He
thought the council had no right to
break faith with the city in such way
and did believe in paying out bond
money for salaries and land purchases.
Mr.. Kingdom thought that no iinan-
cial mistake had been made in taking
up ten per cent. warrants with six per
cent. money.
Mr.. Aubrey said he had for eighteen
months been working diligently to
secure the opening of the street and
believed the proposition submitted
ought, i'm justice to the residents and
property owners in that locality, to be
accepted. He thought the price named
reasonable and as low as ever could be
obtained. Several good buildings had
been destroyed by fire because not only
the engine but not even hose cart
could be got on the premises. The
property owners desired the extension
badly enough TO petition for the inn
provement of the street and pay for IL.
Mr.. Kinghornsald that If the abutting
property owners would put themselves
on record in favor of the improvement,
i'm such a way that they could not
avoid the payment Of the assessment,
he would favor making the purchase.
The matter was referred to the street
committee and city attorney with in
structions TO report Saturday afternoon.
The following resolution was submit
ted by Mr.. Kingdom and adopted:
Resolved, That the sum of 5000 be
and the same is hereby transferred from
the general municipal purpose bond
fund the salary fund.

AMMONIA AND SUICIDES

One of the Most Certain Agents Fo,
Causing Death by Slow Poisoning

son, probably there are few who have
sought to kill themselves by means OF
ammonia. Nevertheless ammonia. al
though it is the active agent in most Of
] the salts sold to women for their Gilt
decorated and perfumed scent bottles.
| is poisonous when taken internally i'm
a concentrated form. TO attest this
there have been recently in New York
several eases, the most recent being
that of Herman Harowitz, of which
Deputy Coroner Jenkins said that the
death took place IN comparativeIy
short time after the ammonia was
taken. In another case, that of "a child.
DIR. jenkins said death resulted In five
minutes after swallowing the ammonia
solution.
There are also on record cases of
slow poisoning from ammonia admin.
lstered with intent to commit murder.
Furthermore, the appearance of work
men IN guano factories, where ammonia
is set free by grinding guano, has been
noted, and in every case there is an
unmistakabie system Of poisoning.
This is discoloration Of the skin of the
face, which assumes "a blotched, dirty
appearance. First TO take on this an
pearance Is the skin of the nose and
forehead. Autopsies of those who die
from ammonia poisoning reveal dark
hue on the mucous membrane lining
the stomach and intestines.
As am agent for causing death by
slow poisoning, ammonia is one of the
most certain and most difficult of de-
lection, owing to its volatile nature.
This quality has led physicians to be-
lieve that some of the mysterious
deaths that have taken place In the
history of modern and MEDIEVAL crime
are due to ammonia. 1t is known now
that months have elapsed between the
first symptoms Of sickness and the
death of a person from ammonia poi
soning. On the other hand, death has
resulted In four minutes from the time
large draught of ammonia has been
swallowed. II has been found in eases
OF gradual absorption of ammonia in
the human system that there is a gem
eral elimination Of healthy oxidation
of the blood and consequent lowering
Of the bodily strength. In the cases of
Immediate poisoning, death comes
with frightful agony, as in the case of
Harowitz. Blood gushed from his
nose and mouth.
Statistics in England put ammonia
thirteenth in frequency in the list Of
poisons. Alexander Winter Blyth,
medical officer of health IN the st.
Marylebone district, London, cites
thirty cases Of poisoning by ammonia
swallowed for the purpose OF commit
ting suicide, or administered with the
purpose Of committing murder, or alb
sorbed unconsciously in food. Of the
suicidal cases six were fatal. OF twenty
accidental cases twelve were fatal. Of
cases Of murder with ammonia, DIR.
Blyth notes two, bot of them chill

the Lawyer and the Bear

&. *. Bonestell, who Is busily en-
gagged in developing the Monarch coal
mine at Lake Whatcom, had rather
unique encounter with bear early
yesterday morning near Silver Beach.
The bear came down the electric rail
way track at an easy gait. Judge Bone
stell saw him and halted, debating in
his mind whether he or bruin had the
main track. HIS bearship seemed 10
think that the railway ties made GOOD
walking and counting them was much
to his taste, so on he came with his
nose close to the ground and his tail
elevated.
The judges hair stood on end and he
was powerless to move, but faint cry
arrested the bears attention. Ii stopped
and looked at the man i'm its way.
Then 1t deliberately sat down at the
side of the railway track on fallen log
and beckoned to Mr.. Bonestell TO come
and sit down and make himself sociable
But the judge declined, and as he
had 10y this time recovered from his
first fright he rushed back to the Silver
