how other Industries are to- be developed
in addition to agricultural pursuits.
In discussing the financial phase OF the
project Major Winchell expresses the
opinion that $25, 600 will be necessary to
launch the scheme and that it can be
secured either by popular subscription or
as loan at low rate of interest.
He suggests that big public meeting
be held in this City to discuss the matter,
and that it be presided over by either the
Mayor or the Governor; also that similar
meetings be held in other cities, and that
the press of the State be asked to take
hold of the matter.
Colonel Holland of New York CITY,
who is the National secretary OF the social
branch of the Saliva tion Army, and who
has been detailed by BoothTuc&er to
visit the Pacific Coast in the interest OF
the colonization movement. is expected to
arrive here to- orrow morning. He will
speak here Friday, and be given public
reception by his friends.

Not the least good that will follow as
the result of the discontinuance OF the ex-

Claus Spreckels was brought promi-

The opening day OF the bench show of
the San Francisco Kennel Club is to have
a special attraction, in which dainty little
Edna Wallace Hopper and her Boston
terrier, Consul, will be the star per-
formers.
Yesterday the little lady sent message
to the directors of the club. asking that
her dog be judged to-day at 2 P. NJ. as she
intends leaving town shortly. In case
her desire was granted she volunteered to
lead the canine prodigy into the presence
of the judges herself. The courtesy will
be extended her without doubt.
The dog is of rare breed and will have
took special prize at the bench show in
New York, and Mrs. Hopper forthwith
fell SO deeply in love with his dogship
that she went down deep into her p ocket
and fished up the sum OF $500 to have
him all for her own.
The pavilion is now in shipshape and
ready for the performance TO begin-weli-
bred dogs, trick dogs, clown and all.
They are all expected to be in by 10 A. NJ f,

The partitions in which the dogs ex-
hlbited are to be placed are made of wire
netting. They were imported especially
for the occasion, and q certain amount
was guaranteed before they could be had
at all. The club has been trying to obtain
them for three years, and at last success
has crowned its efforts. The advantage
OF the new system of benching is that

HEALTH CONFERENCE.
Oakland and San Francisco Authorities
Discuss Impure Food and Its

Suppression.
A conference of the health authorities
of Alameda County and San Francisco
was held yesterday in the Health Office,
those present being: DR.. ]. P. Dunno,
Health Officer of Oakland; DR.. Ryfkogel oi
the Oakland Board of Health; DR.. f. E.

Board; S. Smith, Sanitary Inspector OF
Oakland; DIR. II. N. Rowell of the Berke-
ley Board of Health; DR.. Lovelace of the
local board; Veterinary O'Rourke; In
spectors Davis and Dockery, and Secre-
tary Godchaux.
The matter of working in harmony and
adjusting regulations to prevent impure
food products from being imported to or
exported from Oakland and San Fran
cisco was discussed at length. 1t was
found that the Oakland authorities were
vested with much greater authority than
the local board, and many valuable sug-
gestions were given and received.

IT Is GOOD TUBERCULIN.
DR.. Morse TeIegraphs the Board oi
Health Regarding tho Delayed
Killing of Cows.

Dr. Morse of tho Board of Health. who
recently went East on combined pleas
ure and business trip, has telegraphed the
secretary of the board from Washington
that the tuberculin now in the possession
of the local health authorities is all right,
and that condemnation OF COWS made
after tests with it should stand. The wire
was sent after . consultation with the
Washington authorities.
Some time ago, before DR.. Morse started
on his tour, a question was raised whether
or not the age of the tuberculin which
had been sent out from Washington
would initiate against its giving correct
results when applied to cows suspected OF
being tuberculous. The killing OF the
condemned cows was deferred on this ac-
count.
DR.. Morse's telegram sets the matter at
rest. In his message he stated that let
ter TO Veterinary Surgeon O'Rourke, CIV
ing instruction regarding the destroying
OF the cows, would follow.

group, but the remains are so decom-
posed that it is difficult to determine
the facts.
The next group examined is situated
about one mile north of the mouth Of
Pine river, upon section "a. There are
seven round mounds there, two of
which are large and about twelve feet
in height. The large one, nearest the
river. was eXcavated by Gilbert M.
Daniels, in 1889. Two excavations were
effected by Mr.. Daniels, from both OF
which he removed human remains.
Along the river slight indications of a.

FORT FLAT MOUTH.
This formidable work was visited and
explored, and sufficient data reduced
to writing to permit fair sketch of
the Enclosure to be drawn and present
ed in the accompanying curtailed
chart
A small lake covers q considerable
depression ON the southeast corner of
the section II mentioned. Pine river
flows past this lake only a few feet to
the eastward. At the west extremity
Of the lake a terrace is situated. at the
crest of a hill, $50 feet distant from,
and at an elevation twenty-five feet
above, the lake. This level table land
overlooking the lake and river bottoms
is admirably situated for a work for
defense, as no enemy could approach
the Enclosure without being detected
and warded off by such appliances of
warfare as may have been the means
of defense, in times of conflict, during
the prehistoric period when the Mound
builders were occupants of the territory
described.
The mounds described, and several
other groups at Gull lake, on the Crow
Wing river, at Sandy lake, and at 9TH
er localities not far distant, indicate a
considerable prehistoric population in
the near and remote vicinity of Fort
Flat Mouth. They were the builders
OF this Enclosure. No legendary infor-
nation comes down to us indicating

Ojibway Indian, born about 1772, be-

the headwater basin of the Mississippi.
Hon. w. w. Warren, the historian Of
the Ojibway people, was mixed-blood.
During the last years Of Flat Mouths
life. the two Indians became fast
friends. From Flat Mouths knowledge
of the affairs of his people, Mr.. War
rem drew largely, through numerous Wis

written history of the Ojibway people,
which has come down to the present
generation through Vol. ", Collections

from similar articles found in the up
per Mississippi basin.
The terrace gradually rises into a low
ridge about twenty feet above the sur
face of the water in the lakes, and on
the inner flank Of this ridge the mounds
of different sizes and forms are situat-
ed, extending down to the terrace con-
formally to the contour limits Of the
lower lake. 1t would seem that the
mounds and embankments were located
at the outward limit of the village.
Several of the mounds have been ex-
cavated and found to contain the re-
mains of the dead, but no system was
observed and therefore no actual re-
suits can be stated by those who have
heretofore opened the several earth
works unscientifically explored. The
material of which the mounds are con-
structed is principally sand No doubt

therefore the only consideration avail
able is a study Of the surroundings, in
dicating that it was an assembly, ground
for some purpose, and that purpose,
probably, a question Of defense against
the approach and onslaughts of war
ring enemies.
The sketch map gives the dimensions
and contour limits Of the Enclosure,
over which a forest of timber has
grown since its construction, which has
disappeared from natural causes, leav-
ing the embankments undisturbed and
intact.
The question as to the age during
which the earthWorks described were
constructed, can only be answered by
the statement that they are prehistoric.
Nc one can give any date, and the
fact that the historic Indian tribes of
the locality, first visited by the French
in 1859, knew nothing whatever of the
people who built the mounds in North
ern Minnesota, leaves the date an I'M
solved problem.

the terrace bordering the river on the
west side. These mounds and the viii
lage site were not explored, for want
of time. Miss Gertie Daniels present

The next location is the Mission Lake

situated upon section 4 of the same

mound builders as their village site at
that locality. The site extends along
the shore of the lower lake, thence up

Flat Mouth was the most noted chief of the
Pillager band of Ojibway Indians, who were
so UNANIMOUSLY designated from a circumstance
which happened to a very early trader. They
pillaged his boats and confscated his goods,
and the name has since followed them with
out interruption. Flat Mouth and other
chiefs and head men sold to the United States
the upper or headwater basin of the Missis
sippi, except portions reserved. Fort Flat
Mouth, prehistoric Enclosure in Northern
Minnesota, was so named by the author of
this work, in December, 1886, from desire to
peTpetuate and preserve certain historic facts
relating to a conference between Flat Mouth
and Hon. w. w. Warren, one of his people,
concerning prehistoric earthworks in the re-
