Uncle Sam spendr s2oo,ooo In Sup
 plying Transports.-Seattle' R.-ch
 Harvest.
 Expenditures aggregating ap- proximately $2oo,ooo have been contracted for by the quartermas- ter's office ill this city during the past three weeks, solely for outfit ting the several army transports loading here and for furnishing cargoes of hay and grain for ship ment to Alaska and the Philip lines.
 While the May business of the Quartermaster will not be a record breaker this year, an enormous amount of money has been han. dled It is difficult for persons un acduainted with the amount of work done by Maj. Ruhlen to real ize how rapidly the governments business has grown here. Orders for the purchase of every kind of supplies save groceries, which are furnished by the commissary de- partment of the army, are received daily by Maj Ruhlen. The mer- chants of this city have done very gratifying business with the gov- ernment.
 Segregating the expenditures either made or contracted for so far during May, it can be stated that practically $1oo, ,ooo will be spent for hay, grain and feed. This will be shipped to Alaska for the sup ply of the signal service corps and for Capt. Abercrombie's expedi- ton, in which many horses and cattle are employed, or else for warded to the army in the Philip pines for use ill the cavalry and in tue quartermaster's department,

other by Thomas J. Sweeney. In the suit
Of the husband, verdict of not guilty
was rendered. In the suit of Sweeney a
verdict OF guilty was returned, and the
personal bonds of the defendant accepted.
Both suits grew out Of a divorce suit
brought by Griffith against his wife.
On the 9th of last month, under in
structions from Judge Bradley, Rutledge
Wilson undertook TO act as examiner in
the Griffith divorce proceedings. Witness

Where Did They Come From.

NAN
Leopoldo Batres, a Mexican scientist
who has been investigating the ruins
of the cliff jewellers in Colorado, has a
new theory as to the origin Of those
people. He believes that they were
Asiatics, as he found many baskets
and other trinkets of Asiatic and Japa-
nese design, but nov many thousands
of years ago they came to this country
he is unable to even max a guess. He
thinks the mound builders and the cliff
jewellers two distinct races. His theory
is that the cliff dwellers after leaving
Colorado migrated to Mexico, going
through Arizona, where indications Of
their stoppage en- route are found. In
Mexico they comprised the original
Toltecs and built cities. That this is so
is verified to Senior Batres' satisfaction
by legends and inscriptions he found
on the walls of some of the rooms. He
took a copy Of them and complete sam
pies Of pottery and other designs to
make further comparisons Upon re-
turning to old Mexico; but, having
studied the Toltec hieroglyphics, he is
positive the cliff jewellers and the Toll
tees are one and the same people,

partment realized that it was to be an
affair Of a year or two, requiring the
services Of 100000 men, large orders
for ~typewriters were placed with Amer
lean houses, for by the British army in
the field the writing machine is more
extensively used than by our own ar
my. The typewriter, carried on a shelf
fastened to the handle bar, is always
on the move, and an order dictated to
the operator is taken down while he

The Boer women Fusitives.

The farms were all deserted, the
Beers having fed into the mountains
with their families, who lived in caves
and wagons. Almost every kloof and
cave contained hidden furniture and
supplies Of grain. Some twenty-five
women and children were found in one
cave high up a mountain, the Beers
having hauled them up by means of
ropes. Most Of the women were at first
very bitter and when asked why they
had fled from their homes on the ap-
proach of the British stated that the
Beers had told them most frightful
stories of how women and children
were i'll treated by the British. After
being a few days in our hands the wo-
men appeared quite happy and offered
to bake bread for the oficers.-Cor.
