Snakes Sold by the Pound.

I'll take two pounds of snake.
please" That is what one may hear
at certain stores in klamath Falls,
Ore. where there is quite an extensive
industry in snakes, says a c%orrespon.
dent of the Denver Post.
Children gather their aprons full OF
snakes as they would wild flowers and
little boys gather them in their pockets
for pets.
The snake industry of klamath Falls
came about in ~this,fashion:
Postmaster Castli some time ago re
ceived a letter from Il concern in Min
nesota asking the price of reptiles and
inquiring if they could be shipped to
Minnesota. Thinking it a joke, the post
master replied that he would furnish
all the snakes desired at % cents a
pound. Imagine his surprise when, by
return mail, an order was received for
400 pounds of snake. The Minnesota
firm then informed him that next sea-
son it would place an order for 500
pounds.
That set the people of klamath Falls
to thinking, and the present snake i'll
dustry of the town is the result of
their cogitations.
The species of water snake so plenti-
full at klamath Falls is of a dark color
and when full grown about three feet
long.
SO great is the supply that tons of
the reptiles could be shipped annually
if there were orders for them. The
snakes are used for medicinal purposes,
as Il superior quality of oil can be man.
ufactured from the variety found at
klamath Falls.

MANY E E PENSIONS.
large Proportion of Veterans of Re.
cent Wars Want Money,

large Proportion of Veterans of Re.
cent Wars Want sfoney.
In his annual report the Commissioner
at Pensions discusses at length the faults
or the present system of pensioning and
the difficulties in the way of determining
the merits of claims for pension and in
crease.
The report presents a number of inter
estlng features connected with the fling
of claims for pension on account Of the
war with Spain and the Instruction in
the Philippine Islands. 1t is shown that
the soldiers of these wars enjoy much
greater benefits than were accorded to
the soldiers of the Civil War. In 1895
the minimum pension was established at
So per month. Nearly 100000 soldiers of
the Civil War received from 81 to 81 per
month from 1866 to 1895, and a disabil-
ity from loss of arm or leg, which now
entities the soldier to Si5 per month,
gave him only IS per month in 1865.
While the Civil War lasted for four
years and the casualties were enormous.
and the Spanish-American war lasted
only about four months, with compara-
lively few casualties, it is shown that
three years after the close of the Span
ish-American war, claims for pension
amounting to about 20 per cent of the
number of soldiers engaged in that war
had been filed, while in 1872. or seven
years after the close of the Civil War.
only about G per cent of the soldiers en-
gagged in that war had filed claims.
The Commissioner says that he is not
prepared to believe that those who en-
gagged in the war with Spain, many of
them sons OF veterans of the Civil War,
were less patriotic than their ancestors or
more covetous, but in his opinion it is the
fault of the system Of pensioning, with
its active army of attorneys, solicitors
and drummers, who are practically Ii
.censed by the government with the prom
Use of $25 for each claim allowed.
Attention is directed to the friction and
unkind feeling that attends the admins
tration of the act of Aug. Z, 1882, which
provides that the open w%rong-doing of a
widow pensioner shall operate to termi-
nate her pension. The absence of such
a law, it is stated. would encourage and
permit such pensioners to dishonor the
memory of their soldier husbands. while
still enjoying the bounty of the govern
ment, and, on the other hand. the widow
WIZ lGSDSClS LII INV ulu INJURIES loses
her pension. The Commissioner saws
that, while the law is a most delicate and
difficult one to administer, yet he cannot
recommend it's repeal.
In January, 1900. a rule was adopted
requiring guardians of pensioners to rem
der to the bureau annual accounts. The
rule was followed by disclosures which
In some instances We're of a startling ma
ture. Guardians were found to be draw
ing pensions long after the death Of their
wards. Many cases were found where
insane pensioners had been placed in asy-
lums and other public institutions as in
digent persons, while the guardians had
drawn the pensions during the whole pes
..riod.
