SAYS THERE WAS NO CONFERENCE
AID. Thomas and the Incoming Adj
ministratiOn.

Editor Morning News: The report that
Messrs. Mills, Thomas and Graham held
conference with officials and leaders of the
Liberal Club is untrue, although it is q
right and will be my pleasure at all times
TO confer with my fellow citizens regard
less of political affiliations. 1t may not
be amiss to say that while acknowledging
the faithful support of clubs l have had
membership in but one of them, ANA that
sixteen years ago.
My hope is that the new Council will
work tremendously making such changes
only as are for the general welfare of our
community and not TO displace one man
for another who has perhaps been as ac-
tive on the other side. My acquaintance
and experience with most of the gentle
men induces the hope that each member
working in such places as the Mayor, be-
ieving to be best may assign him will
seek first, last and all the tine the vel
fare of Savannah, and the success of the
Myers administration. d. r. Thomas
The Morning News stated that Il wa

For years Prof. Atwater has been
adding TO his collection Of rare
natural hisrory specimens and
curiosities from all parts Of the
earth, and in selecting specimens
for an EXHIBIT on an occasion Of this
kind he has a very valuable and
extensive collection to draw from.
The display will comprise two parts

of natural history specimens.
curios and relics from foreign lands
including some very curious an
imals, many beautiful birds of
brilliant plumage, gorgeous butter
flies and strange reptiles and in
sects. The other part Of The eS-

specimens and this division will
include a splendid natural history
collection, some very rare manuals

WHERE SNAKES ABOUND.
A Curious Spot Where Thousands o.
Snakes Congregate.


Save in the imagination of some I'M
fortunate victim of delirium there are
few men who ever saw more than three
or four snakes together in any place
on the earths surface. Were you TO
ask naturalists they would tell you
that the tendency of snakes is not to
congregate in any one place. Yet con-
trary to seeming laws of nature there
is a place which is infested with them
in astounding numbers, so vast that
it is the wonder Of all those who have
looked upon it.
This land of snakes is known by eth
er of the two suggestive names of
"Linkville" or klamath Falls" and is
situated in an obscure corner over the
California border line in Oregon. 1t
may be reached in twenty-four hours
travel from San Francisco. You have
only to take the north bound train for
Ager, thence a stage line of about
twenty miles conducts you to your des-
tination.
1t Is impossible to associate snakes
with the beautiful and varying scenery
through which you pass as far as kla-
math Hot Springs. Trees and streams
and all the glories of mountain scenery
greet you on every hand. You drive
through a luxurious growth OF ever
green's and shrubbery, you cross and
recross numerous streams, you breathe
But when you have left klamath Hot
Springs a few miles behind there is an
appreciable difference in the landscape.
Sparsity of vegetation is the first OBJ
servable change. At every turn or the
road the aspect becomes more barren,
more forlorn and more deSolate. Final
ly. YOU seek in vain for a tree or
shrub, and at last, dust-coVered ana
weary, you pull up at dry, wltnereu
village that produces nothing on It's
hard, rocky soil, but revolving snakes.
You have reached LinkVllle, the haunt
ing retreat of serpents!
There is a bridge in Linkville that
spans klamath river. From this bridge
which Is vantage point as far as view
is concerned, a most extraordinary
sight meets the eyes. Along the river
banks, at irregular intervals OF rev
yards are seen dark balls ranging from
a foot to three feet in diameter Iney
are stationary and as passive as a
boulder, which they resemble in color.
But If a stone is hurled at any of these
strange spheres, to your horror snakes
will crawl off in every direction ana
the ball will melt away as lard melts
in frying pan. The repulsive crea-
lures that have thus been coiled up in
a perfect sphere glide away under
rocks, and one minute later not snake
is to be seen in that particular spot.
But other balls of snakes in the Vlcinlty
are little disturbed by the stone. A
close INSPECTION will reveal only a NOV
ing head or twitching tail in the mass
that before looked like an immovable
boulder. Those that were scattered,
however, may later seek the neighbor-
ing spheres or in a few minutes SINK
out of their hiding places and reassem-
BILE themselves in balls.

Sheen War Ayerted.

MIissoula. July 1.-THE threatened
sheep war in South Missoula has been
averted and Mayor Webster has estab-
lished a reputation is a clever financier.
The city officers this morning arrested
the shearers and Mccullough & Nc
Kern, the owners of the sheep. The
city attorney had a defective complaint
and the case was carried along for an
other round. Then the complaint was
properly drawn and the mayor came
forward with a proposition. He agreed
to let the shearing continue if the sheep
men would pay a fine of 500 a day for
violating the city ordinance relating to
nuisances. This was sumner. 1t was
the only way, however, that the matter
could be adjusted. Police Judge Land
ers said that his instructions from the
mayor were uncompromisng and I'M
conditional. 1t was pay or quit, and
the sheep men decided that it was
cheaper to pay than to quit. They gave
their check for the amount of fines and
agreed to thoroughly clean and disin-
feet the premises about the pens. The
shearing is now in progress and will
continue as long as the fines are paid
until the sheep are sheared. 1t is a
novel settlement, and marks the mayor
as a rustler of funds.
