COMMISSIONERS RETURN

County Commissioners ellison,
Smith and Boyce returned last night
from Spokane, whore they have been
investigating the tract" system Of
indexlng records as used by the
auditor of Spokane county. Mr..
Boyce said this morning, we were
very much pleased with the system.
but we have not decided TO adopt
~. The rate OF 3h cents for each
description ls too much, as there are
at least one million descriptions in
King county. At the rate sub
mitted by Messrs. Knapp 4 olds
the cost would be about $50. 900.
The commissioners think they can
cut this amount down to about $780,
600, No contract Will be let at
present. and not until smaller rate

A TREE.
Tropical Palm OWL in brah'i
That supplies Nearly All OF
Mans Necessities.

Nature does some wonderful things
in the tropics toward supporting IA pop
ulation rendered lazy by her climatic
moods in those regions. For example,
there is a %carnauba palm growing IN
Brazil which yields Il nutritious milk
from which flour is made. The same
tree produces edible nuts from winch
n fair imitation of coffee may be en-
tractcd: its roots have medicinal prop
critics: its palmetto is eaten as a
vegetable: yields a sugar n n Sago'
both very nutritious. and from 1t wine
and vinegar are produced: the stem
contains a pith which can be used for
cork, is covered with a straw that Is
woven into hats. baskets. room II
mats: the wood of the stem Is used
in the manufacture of musical Instru-
ments, for building material or ground
up for paper and cloth: with the pith
punched ont il becomes available Tor
pumD stock and tubes. And, finally,
this wonderful tree gives up a resin
Gus way much used Tor making n
candles.
Tie carnauba tree is naturally high
" priced in Brazil. since it supplies
about all of mans necessities. But
what additional value it would have II
it could be grown in this temperate
zone. where humanity has been taught
by necessity to hustle for subsistence.
If the carnauba could be grown by the
North American farmer there would
be a vast amount of surplus energy to
be turned into other or wasted.

BIGGEST GAME CLUB.

--iirs of Territory.

C~n9rtSr.sn's clubs have become com
mon enough with rich men who delight
in tagging ramc. and many of them
have been organized upon a grand
scale. but all become insignificant be-
side the proposed st. John club. which
will preserve aD.000 square miles OF
Canadian territory.
OF course. this will have to be fenced
in. and the cost of this fence VIII be
$~l.250.OGO. which gives an idea of the
magnitude of the undertaking.
The organizers of this club and most
of the members are Americans, al
though there will he n few prominent
Canadians and En@lishmen. The MEM
bcrship will number many thousands.
which is possible because OF the re-
sources of the great territory. The
initiation fee has been placed at $500.
although This will likely be increased.
Already more than S4G.G00 has been
expended in securing the fishing waters
of Lake ST. John and tributaries. All
the rivers flowing in from h north
and west. some of which are 2Gu n
3UD miles long. and all the waters con-
nectcd with them. are included.
Arrangements are also being made
with the Quebec government for Sc
curing two immense tracts for game
parks, each having Loco square miles.
They will be fenced in with wire net
ting. In addition to moose. deer, elk
and caribou, it is proposed to stock
these parks with the best species OF
foreign game and birds from localities
having similar climatic conditions.-N.
