Board Visits Stables.

The members of the Board of Health,
headed by President Wood, visited the
Hotel Stables Immediately after the
Board meeting yesterday afternoon
and thoroughly examined the prem
1ses. Nothing definite was decided,
however, in reference to the disposi-
tion OF the place. The Board made
itself acquainted with the conditions
and history of the property as far as
was possible, and will decide whether
the stables are to be given to the
flames at the meeting this afternoon.
Mr.. Buckley was on the grounds and
answered questions, and eagerly
watched the health men in their in
vestigations.
An Advertiser reporter. accompanied
the Board and made a complete exam
ination of the premises. There were
no quarantine guards around the sta
bles and people were at liberty to come
and go just as they pleased. White men
and others were busy attending to the
routine work, cleaning harness, wash
ing carriages and grooming horses, as

MR.. HERMANN'S VISIT.

The visit to Arizona of Binger Her.
mann, commissioner Of the general
land Office at Washington, is of mo-
ment to all who are concerned in the
welfare OF the territory and particular
ly to those who are interested in the
cattle and sheep industry in northern
Arizona and the mesquite question. 1t
Is Mr.. Hermann who has direct super
vision of the immense forest reserves
in Arizona, and his final determine
tion regarding the limits of these
reserves, and the question whether
sheep or cattle shall be permitted to
Craze therein will undoubtedly be ac-
cepted by the secretary of the interior
as conclusive.
Mr.. Hermann's visit was timely. in
that the question of the use of the re-
serves for grazing purposes is now be-
ing agitated. That he appreciated its
Importance was evidenced by his in
quiries and the close attention he gave
to those who approached him on the
Subject. To all Of these the point was
made perfectly plain that Mr.. Her.
mann is not one to be easily influenced.
His knowledge OF the land question: of
forestry and collateral matters is wide
and deep. One reason why he accept

nature of the country to some extent
and to meet personally the men whose
interests are largely involved in the
policy of his department. Mr.. Her
mann made many mental notes while
here and expressed his qualification
with the results of his observations
and iquiries.
To the writer and to others who ac-
companed him on the journey to Tue
son, Commissioner Hermann declared
that it was the policy of the admins
forests of the territory, and that in
pursuance Of that policy the idea OF
"the greatest good to the greatest num-
Der" would be followed. There was no
disposition on the part of his depart
ment to injure any interest that may
have grown up in connection with the
forest reserves. The geological survey
is now engaged in resurveying the re-
serves in different parts of the west
and the expectation is that the work
will be completed in the very near flu
ture. The survey has already demon
strated the fact that millions of acres
Originally included in the reserves
should not rightfully be included, and
large areas that are outside should
properly be placed within the limits.
Mr.. Hermann was non. committal as to
whether the grazing of sheep in the
reserves is harmful to the water sup
ply, but he expressed the opinion that
u good deal of the so-called forest land
might be made available for stock pur-
poses AS the result of the department
searching inquiry. To the stockmen
who sought him he said it would be
desirable for the department to be
placed in possession of their views re-
garding the general question of graz
ing. The stockmen of the north need
have no fear that there is disposition
on his part to iniure them in the least

Feceraf troops arrived. There were fire.
quent rumors that the Canyon Greek
miners were going TO return to sack the
town and business was suspended. The
witness said he talked with the members
OF both factions and had been told by
Mike Flynn, the Committeeman of the
union. that it was their jntention, had he
not escaped, TO bIow up Mr.. Burbidge
with the mill.
The reporter was cure that the prison
ers had not been subjected " inhuman-
ity on eaiised needless suffering after
their arrest Ha had partaken Of their
food and had casnped within a short dis
lance of the so-calied ''bull pen and was
satisfied that II there was any comparl-
son as to the sations aud quarters Of the
imprisoned miners and the troops it GER
tainly was il favor OF the former. Of
his own knowledge no prisoner had been
denied the counsel Of a minister or priest
aud he had been personally informed by
Father Becker that Dcyine, the prisoner
who committed suicide, had made no re-
quest for spiritual comfort.
Every statement made by the witness
tended TO emphasize the necessity for
maintaining gcderil troops in the Occur
d Alene district and to hold the miners
union directly responsible for the lawless-
ness which prevailed last April.

onr Lake COMMERCE.

IKE steady growth of prosperity under
the protective tariff and sound money rs
Illustrated by some facts just made pub
lie relative 10 the commerce on the great
iaaes since 1870, and which were COM
piled by The treasury bureau Of statistics.
The great articles entering into the
commerce on the lakes are wheat, -four.
and other grains, coal, iron and lumber.
The statements Of the quantities OF these
articles passing through the 500 canal
illustrate the growing utilization of this
great water route for transportation of
these articles 50 readily transported in
bulk.
In 1871 the number Of bushels of wheat
passing through the canal was l,3I6, 105,
while in 1899 the number Of bushels WAS
5s, 39T ,335, or more than forty INES as
much as lii 1871 Meantime the receipts
Of wheat at Buffalo increased from Ia
100000 bushels in 1872 to S3,U0,0Oo in
1893, while the total receipts Of grain Of
all kinds Unloading wheat in the form
Of four received at Buffalo by lake In
creased from III 100000 bushels IN 1872
to 2b7 ,000,0O bushels in 1905
The expectation Of wheat aud wheat
-four increased from 39,000,o0o bushels
in 1872 to go, 900 900 bushels in 1880, the
increase in transportation by lake thus
being much greater proportionately than
the increase in exports from the sea-
board. Transportation OF -four through
the 500 canal has increased with even
greater rapidity. growing from l36,41l
barrels in 1872 TO 7.114,t4T barrels in
1890; while grain other than wheat in
creased from 445.7T4 bushels in 1877
to 30 ono 900 bushels hi 1899
In metals and mitserals the growth of
transportation on the lakes Is quite as
striking as in breadstutfs, the quantity
OF coal carried on the 500 canal having
increa sed from S0,sl5 TONS in 1872 to
1910, SST tous IN 1880. Coal from the
Pennsylvania and Ohio fields is supplied
- low freight rates to the Lake Superior
region where coal production is light and
fuel greatly in demand, as the vessels
which carry the iron ore, grain aud -four
from the Lake Superior region carry coal
on their return trips at nominal freight
rates. As consequence the coal passing
through the 500 canal has increased from
S0,s15 tons in 1872 to 3,940,SST tons in
1909.
The product Of the Lake Superior region
which is poured through the 500 canal in
increasing quantities every year is, after
grain aud shour, which have been already
mentioned chiefly iron ore copper and
lumber. The iron ore shipments through
the canal Increased from "S3,l0J tons ia
1872 to tl,32s, 40 tons Z" 500; copper,
from 14.59I tons in 1872 to 100000 tons
in 1890. and lumber. from 1,742 900 feet
ia 1872 to 1.03s 057 900 feet in 1899. The
report from which these figures were OBJ
tanned Indicates that they also include
the traffic through the Canadian canal,
lying just alongside st. Marys Falls
canal which was opened to commerce

Submarine Boats.

Should the submarine boat take the
place in naval warfare that some ma
lions expect, one of the chief precau-
tons taken by the worlds nayies will
be an immense increase in the number
of balloons, with duly trained stats to
work them, carried by war vessels.
The balloons carried by these battle
ships are of exactly the same material
and pattern as those in use in the
army. only smaller. They have use
far in advance of any mere iong-dls-
tance obseryationalp purpose, for, though
the wake of a submarine boat sunk
deeply In the water can only be traced
with difficulty from such an elevation
as that afforded by ship, both such
wake and the boat itself can be seen
with absolute and undertaking clear
ness from captive balloon. This is
the result of a scientific and optical
law, and when ship balloons were first
put to the practical test in regard TO
this matter, the results attained were
of the lnost surprising kind.
Even where the water Is distinctly
CLOUDY, objects of much smaller kind
than submarine boat, and painted of
neutral color, could be seen frcm bal
loon with the utmost clearness at a
dep.n of five fathoms, or thirty Feet,
though the surface was rough. No sub
marine boat could in the day time get
within striking distance of threaten
I'd ship that had balloon without be-
ing observed.

tains Some Novel Characters.
Representative Bellamy of North
Carolina has some curious constituents.
They are the descendants of the lost
colony Of Sir Walter Raleigh.
1t was in 1887, over three centuries
ago, that Raleigh sent over colony of
III persons, including seventeen wom-
en-. and landed them on Roanoke ISL
and. near Hatteras. Thirteen years
later he Sc over to find out how they
were prospecting. Roanoke Island was
then deserted and no trace of the
whereabouts of the settlers was 10 be
discovered, except the single word
"Croatan" cut in a tree. To-day the
Croatan Indians, who live In three or
four counties of North Carolina, have
blue eyes. although possessing other
characteristics of the Indians the cop

erect form. Many of them bear names
that are English. such as Sampson.
Berry, Wilkinson, etc, and which have
have traditions that their ancestors
could read from BOOKS ana IN score
Of other ways offer circumstantial evil
denee that they have descended from
Raleigh's colonists.
Mr.. Bellamy thinks that Congress
ought to pay more attention to these
people. They are brave, but reck-
less" he says. 'TThey are honest, in
tensely religious. restless, active and
energetic. Incidence and sloth are not
known among them. They are eager
for education. They are capable of in
telieetual and moral development. A
number of them have become success
full merchants. One of them became a
United States Senator from Southern
State and the descendant of another
has become member of Congress. =
