DEMOCRACY IN WILKES.

county, publishes a strong article in

fury Commissioners of that county

The claim is absurdly unfounded.

EVEN JOHN SHERMAN.
A Press dispatch says

WASHINGTON, May 6. - Senator
Sherman called at the State Depart
ment today and had a short talk
with Secretary Gresham about the
International Monetary Conference.
1t is the first time the Ohio Senator
has been there since the change of
the. administration.
This is sweet. When John Sher-
man openly advises with Democratic
Cabinet officers on the financial ques-
ton, it is high time for Mike Smith
to swap off Possumphat and get him
another "critter." We did hope the
Democrats would be decent enough
not to hob-nob with old John Sher
man.
But after taking into the Cabinet
a Republican like Gresham, they can
hardly expect Gresham to shut the
door on an old comrade like Sher-
man.
So we have to grin and bear it,
while these two Republicans confer
together about the financial policy
which is best for the dear old Demo
cratic Party.
We hope Jack Gordon will head
off these men before the plot goes
too far.

He met with still better luck in Siam.
There he succeeded in making a bargain
with the Slamese Prince, who is brother

richer at the least. The Siamese Prince
is the Treasurer Of Siam. In the treasury
of the Government there have been stored
for several years thousands OF native
stamps, now obsolete, which have been
succeeded by stamps of newer design.
Samples of the old issue Of stamps are
very rare. and being new and unused are
all the more valuable. Two leading firms
of New York and London had tried IN
vain TO purchase this stock OF old stamps
from the Government.
Mr.. NOcht was ore successful. Having
learned that the Prince possessed hobby
he took advantage of the royal fad. The
Siamese Prince is collector of old gold
coin, and Mr.. Nocht approached him
armed with rare gold specimens. 10

it lay fostering and sending out the nox-
i0us gases generated by the decomposition
of refuse matter. Cleaning the sewer
wonld have been of no avail, as mmedi-
ately after it would begin to fiji again.
When the matter was brought to the
notice of the properIy-ho olders of the
neighborhood they appealed to the Sewage
Commission for advice. They were told
that the trouble lay in having the outlet
pipe above the floor of the sewer and in
having the brick sewer on a level The
Commissioners. Messrs. MaTsden, Manson
and c. E. Grunsky, advised them to have
the outlet pipe lowered to the level OF the
brick sewer and to fill in the latter with
cement so that the upper end would be at
least twelve inches higher than the lower
This would insure sufficient fall to keep
the sewer clean.
Acting under this advice the property
owners in the vicinity are having the
street torn up. and a great cave on Cali

c. E. Grunsky. In speaking of the mat
ter. said the crossing was not an excep-
tional one.
There are hundreds of just such cross
ings in different parts of The city They
are so built that they become catches for
the solid matter floating in the sewers.
That they are dangerous to the public
health is without a doubt. But the of
fenSive matter is out of sight, and there
fore it is overlooked.
IF the same amount of disease breeding q
matter were dumped in one place on the
surface of street, the outcry would be
tremendous. The Health Officer would
be exerting himself to abate the nuisance
and all would approve his energy. Be-
cause it is out of sight 1t is less dan ger
Gus.
THE crossing on Van Ness avenue is
not nearly SO bad as some. At Fillmore
and California streets the outlet pipe is
21a feet above the level Of the sewer. As
matter of course the filth there is 215
feet deep. and never can be less until the
sewer is properly constructed"
The cost of the work at Van Ness avenue

ACROSS THE LINE.
Flora From San Pedro
Martir's Mesa.
The Snowplant Discovered by Town
shend S. Brandegee Down in
Lower California.

Townshend S. Brandsgee, one Of the
professors in the Academy of Sciences
who has given years to original research in
botany and done much original work in the
field throughout the Pacific Coast, has re-
turned from a scientific expedition in
Lower California.
He was accompanied on the trip through
the unfamiliar regions Of the peninsula by
Mr.. Anthony of San Diego and Mr.. and
Mrs. Thurber of Los Angeles. They made
the journey in the interest of science, al
though their specially is different from
that of Professor Brandegee. 1t was in
search of birds and mammals peculiar to
the region explored that they ventured
into the mountains.
AS result Of the expedition, the acad-
emy is enriched by the acquisition Of many
rare specimens Of plants and weeds. Some
interesting discoveries were made also in
the high attitudes of Lower California.
There is a wide gap in the desert
region and valley l+nds of Lower Cali
fornia, between the characteristic flora of
Central and Northern California and that
OF the penlnsulas," said Mr.. Brandegee.

It's presence raises question OF interest to
Dotanlsts 1t was genuine surprise to
ind snowplant so far south. No doubt
at all this is the most southern place where
it has ever been discovered. How 1t ever
got there is the question. 1t must have
crossed the gap in Southern California, OK
been there centuries before the land forma-
tlon was changed, or II ever such change
took place. But how could 1t have crossed

here and am busy with them now. Many
OF tnem are like Californian plants, though
they have changed and formed other
species. Again many are distinctive.
But they will all be of special scientific
value for the fact they belong TO the low
est fringe of California's flora.
Mr.. Anthony and MI. and Mrs. Thur
ber went down there for birds and
animals, peculiar residents of these
mountains. They brought back a great

the lonely, higher attitudes for ages. and

A BOTCHED SEWER
1t Holds the Filth as i'm
a Basin.
1T IS NOT THE ONLY ONE.
Property-Owners at Van Ness Ave-
nue. and California Street Forced
to Have the Work Done Over.

A short time ago the property-owuers In
the vicinity of Van Ness avenue and Cali
fornia street expended $500 in sewers.
They were built according to the specifca-
tions of the City Surveyor and were ac-
cepted by the city.
A few months later the men employed
by the Sewerage Commission to explore
and report on the condition of the sewers
of the city reached that part of the town.
They found that the five-foot brick sewers
contained layer of filth varying in depth
from fourteen TO thirty inches.
The reason for this was evident. At the
street-crossing a brick sewer 3x5 feet had
been built. A 16-inch sewer emptied into
the brick sewer at its upper END. This
was 80 inches from the bottom of the
sewer. The outlet sewer. also 16-inch
pipe, was IA inches above the bottom of
the large sewer.
AS a result the sewer filled with filth
