SANTA BARBARA
Counterfeit Coin Found, but No Coun-
terfeiters-Town Clock Retires

SANTA BARBARA, Dec. 31.-Officers
today made public the fact that $31 in
counterfeit coin was discovered on
Christmas day at the Crocker ranch, a
distance of four miles from this city
The money was in dollars and 50-cent
pieces. Sheriff Thomas H. Hicks and
Deputy Constrable M. A. Botello have
been quietly investigating the matter,
but as no further developments appear
ed. the facts were today laid before the
federal authorities in Los Angeles. The
cache was found at the base of an oak
tree and as the counterfeits were not
good limitations, it is supposed that the
person who had them in his possession
took this means to get rid of them.
The town clock, on the corner of State
and Carrillo streets, which has struck
the hours for the inhabitants of this
city for a quarter of a century, will re-
tire from public service tomorrow The
city has discontinued the payment of
$40 month to wind the big time piece
and the owners are not public bene-
factors. The new illuminated Fithian
tower clock. with Westminster chimes,
will now supply the deficiency.
The United States steamers Monterey
and Monadnock are daily expected at
this port.
The monitor Monterey arrived in the
channel this afternoon from Monterey,
and will spend a month in target prac-
tice. The Monadnock is expected to join

Public Schools.

At the recent convention Of Par
ish Public School Superintendent
the committee on amendments to
the State Constitution made sew
eral suggestions which should be-
come part of the new constitution.
One of TIE recommendations of the
committee is that the parish super
intendent be appointed by the re-
spective Boards aud whose salary
shall be fixed by the General AS
sembly according to the number of
educable children in the respective
parishes. Some of the other arti-
Giles refer to the enforcement of the
payment of the poll tax and the
permission to the teachers to give
instruction in the French language,
provided no additional expense is
incurred. We cannot publish ali
the suggestions as made by the SUI
perintendsn ts, but as whole we
think they are perfectly wise and
should be put upon the statute
books of the State. The sugges-
tions concerning the raising of the
parish superintendent's salary es-
pecially should be carried out, as
the amount now given him is en-
tirely TOO small.

Letter From Lieut.. Moss.

We publish below a letter from
Lieut.. James Moss, U. S. A., son
of our townsman, Judge A. J. Moss,
from Dunning, Neb. Lieut.. Moss
Is now on his way to St. Louis,
having left Fort Missoula, Mon
tana, some time ago with the inten-
ton of making an experimental
trip on the bicycle at the instance
of the u. S. Army authorities.
Lieut.. Moss has made a national
reputation in his efforts to introduce
the wheel as a factor in the army
and his bicycle corps trip, if sue
cessful, as it will undoubtedly be,
will be considered one of the great
est achievements of daring and
pluck that have been accomplished
in the army in the past few years:
DgNN1Nc. Neb., July =, 1907
NV DEAR FATHER: If there is a
God-fo1saken country, this is it
we are now right in the heart OF
these abominable, Internal Me-
braska hills, where every mile we
travel is like pulling so many teeth.
By almost superhuman efforts we
can average about IS miles a day,
as compared with IS or 100 on
good roads. AS one of the soldiers
said the other night, elf I only get
out Of this place alive I'll have
something to talk about as long as I
llve". During the last few days we
have had bad alka1i water to drink,
and the heat has been very intense.
To-day the thermometer registers
90 degrees in the shade. The
health of the command, however, is
very good and I anticipate no
| trouble. We expect to get out of
the sand hills day. after-to- morrow,
and then we are just simply going
to make the dust fly from our
wheels.
So far the trip has been a success,
although we have received some
very hard knocks-we have been
through a real campaign without
being shot at and that's all.
l expect to reach St. Louis some
time between the 2oth and 25th OF
this month. l have offered re-
ward of 500 to any man who can
cast shadow the day we enter the
city.
You need not worry about my
breaking down; SO far as the hard
ships are concerned, the trip is
nearly over, and what I lack in
physical strength make up for in
ambition and determination. l
have always said this trip would
be a success, and so will it be.
With love to all, am,
Your loving son,
JAMES A. Moss.
