The Crooked Mayor of Minneapolis
Tries to Escape Investigation.
CHEF AMEs ALSO RESIGNED
And the Devoted City Will Be Well
Rid of a Precious Pair of RascaIs-
Climax of the Police Corruption
Scandals Has Been Reached in the
Falls City.

Minneapolis, July 31.--Mayor A. A.
Ames, now at West Baden, Ind, has
decided to resign his office. The let
ter will be read to the council at the
next meeting. The mayor postpones
his nominal retirement to September
to save the city the expense of a spe-
cial election, which would have to be
held if the resignation took effect
earlier. The mayor has also agreed
to secure the resignation of his
brother. Col. w. F. Ames, as chief
of police. This is the climax of the
police corruption scandal which had
agitated the community and occupied
the grand jury and the courts for two
months. Mayor Ames is in failing
health and may not return to Mime
apolis at all unless forced to do SO
by the courts.

In the Valley of Los Alamos, in Southern
Part of California.
MANY GREAT FISSURES APPEAR,
And the Earth is Rent IN Twain by the Seismic Disturbances
Valleys Trembled and Rolled Like theA Unstable
Surface Of the Ocean.

San Luis Obispo, July 31.-A strip
of country 15 miles long, four miles
wide, rent with great assures and
dotted with hills and knobs that
sprung up during the night as if by
magic, village in ruins and hun
oreds of people fleeing for their lives
are the result of one nights seismic
disturbances in the prosperous and
fruitful valley of Los Alamos, in the
northern part of Santa Barbara coun-
W. During the last four days that
portion of the country has been shak-
en- by a series of earthquakes that
are without precedent or tradition in
the history of the Pacific coast, and
the continuance of the disturbances
and the increasing severity of the
shocks have so terrorized the inhab-
itants that they are leaving for other
parts as rapidly as possible. The dis
turbances began Sunday evening with
shock, which caused several hun
dred dollars damage to property in
the village ana surrounding country
This shock was followed by a number
of disturbances, less severe and less
disastrous, continuing throughout the
remainder of Sunday and Monday
forenoon. On Tuesday night, begin
ming at 1910, there was another ser
les of seven shocks, all of which were
light. The most severe shock ot
the series occurred at II o'clock this
morning, when the hills were shaken

FINE NEW MILL
Has Been Built on Priest River
Idaho.

T1dS DECEIT buln on FFlGSC River
Idaho.
A mill of $4,000 daily capacity,
equipped SO that it is equal in mod
ern equipment to the famou~ GTum-
bird mill, at Standpoint, but w1ioh has
only about one-half the capacity of
the Humbird, will soon be in opera
tion at Priest River, Idaho. This
modern mill will be equipped with
machinery so that the timber scarce
ly needs to be +ouched by a hand
from the time it leaves the water un-
til it goes into the dryer, where it
will be prepared for shipping.
There will be water system
throughout the mill, so that in case
OF fire an abundance of water will
be at hand to fight this enemy of the
lumber manufacturer. Besides these
there is to be equipped next year an
electrical system in the mill, so that
a double shift will be able to work
bringing up the capacity of the mill
to 100000 feet daily.
The mill is owned by the White
Pine Lumber company, Captain
Downs, president 1t will cost about
$4,000. Besides the mill proper
there will be in connection a lath mill
with capacity of 10000 daily
There will also be in connection a
shingle mill with capacity of $4,000
to 100000 daily. The dryer has a
capacity of $4,000 feet daily, and it
is expected that about four-fifths of
the cut will go into it.
The plan of the owner at present
is to use this mill at Priest River,
Idaho, where they have already So
100000 feet of timber, and when this

the valleys trembled and rolled like
the unstable surface of the ocean.
Great assures were run in the earth,
hills appeared in the level valleys.
Springs of water opened up in places
that had been dry, and the general
topography of the valley was changed
in many respects. The disturbance
had no general direction, but was
known as a "twister." 1t was pre-
ceded by rumbling like that of dis
tant thunder which increased until
the earth began to rock and twist
and the hills began to tremble. With
the first warning sound of the ap-
preaching disaster, terror stricken
people rushed into the streets and
sought places of safety in vacant lots
and fields, while many hastened
toward the neighboring hills. The
first vibrations were similar to the
preceding disturbances in distance
and effect, but they were followed i'm
mediately by the most terrible shock
ever experienced in this section of
the state. The earth trembled and
rolled and twisted until it was i'm
possible to stand erect and the terror
stricken people crouched together in
the darkness, fearing that the earth
beneath them might open and swal-
low them up. The terror inspired by
the rumbling and the trembling of
the earth was increased by the sound
of falling buildings, which gave some
idea of the terrible destruction that
was being wrought

MARCUS LISNER DEAD.
Pioneer Pop Man of Helena Will
Bottle No More Air.

Helena, July 31.-Marcus Lissner,
aged 81 years, pioneer of Montana,
has just died at his home at 1874
State street, in this city. For three
months Mr. Lissner has been in bad
health, and few weeks ago he was
removed to ST. Peters hospital,
where one of his legs was amputated,
in order to stay the ravages Of a gan
grenous affection which threatened to
spread with great rapidity. Although
Mr.. Lissner rallied from the shock of
the operation, the heroic treatment
did not serve to restore his health.
He continued to fail and died this

TWO HUNDREI> BARRELS A DAY
Of Splendid Oil Is Flowing from One Of the Wells in the

Helena, July 31.-An oil well that
gushes over 100 barrels a day and
shows promise of a great capacity
after development has been discov-
cred in the Flathead oil fields.
The Associated Press is authority
for the above grand news for Flat
head people, and the investors in oil
lands in this city will be very anx-
ious until they find upon which prop
erty the strike has been made. From
the fact that the strike was reported
in Helena and not in Butte, the Butte
company cannot be the lucky one,
and the good fortune must be divided

latter have already reported an oil

of operations was that the Kintla was
working continuously on the well and
making rapid headway. More news
is expected tonight, as if it is strike
in the Kintla Lake oil well, the news

A Grateful Snake.

That class of people who be- lieve in harming no living thing may find some argument in sup port of their cause in the follow ing item clipped from a northern paper:
 "According to a newspaper published at Whiting, Kans., a resident of that town, while on his way home few nights ago, had an experience in the city park which was very thrilling. As he was passing near the band stand he heard a strange noise. After Investigating he found it came from large rattlesnake.
 It was pinned to 8 log by a large limb broken from a tree. He set the snake free and went on his journey homeward, un- conscious that the snake was following. He sat down to SUD- per and in picking up 8 spoon which he had carelessly dropped on the floor again saw the snake. He fed it and they became fast friends. The snake would eat from his hand, wrap around his neck and hug him and sleep coiied up at the foot of the bed. This continued for a week or more. But one night the man was restless and could not sleep. He called to the snake and 1t did not respond as usual, so he arose: lighted the lamp, and began to search for his pet. He found the snake in the parlor, wrapped around the neck of burglar, and it's tail hanging out of the window: rattling for the police.

COMING SCHOOL ELECTION. How the Money Cou1d be Raised
 for New school Building.

for New school Building.
 Next Saturday, May t7, is the day for the annual school election, but there has been nothing man. ifested by the electors in the Green Forest district that sug- gests the subject to us, for there is apparently no interest being taken in the matter. There are three directors to be chosen, one to succeed each c. II. Smith, J. F. Walker and J. M. Jernigan, deceased.
 The election of the directors and the question of tax are about all the matters of importance that can be disposed of at this meet ing, yet the consideration of the question of a new school building is always in order. Our need i'll this respect is so great that the matter should not be overlooked even if no formal action can be taken. There is no question bat every avenue of business in Green Forest is now suffering because of the burning need of ample school building facilities in our town.
 This crying need could be rem- edied by the citizens of the dis trict if they only thought so. A S2500 building could be built by private subscription and mo- body hurt.
 THE TRIBUNE is one Of the 25 business concerns of the town that can afford to contribute tie sum of @100 to a movement of this kind, to say nothing of the numerous other people interest ed. The other "A are here and over half Of them are from two to one on up more able financially to donate the sum than we are. We propose to do thia primarily to encourage an enterprise, but our style of figuring upon public improvements leads us to believe that tie sum would be well in- vested from a business stand- point.
 Everything that tends to make Green Forest better town, mor- ally or edueatiOnaily, means an improvement of our commercial interests, and 1t means in the course of events, that the im- provements thus brought about will return the money invested in them by business men with good interest.
 While TIE TRIBUNE is happy over the fact that 1t has always labored increasingly to enlist the citizenship of the town iii every thing that would give the town 8 prestige in these respects, it is one of the prOudest moments of our existence when we reflect back over the past and rea!izo that we have always dug up'2 when any money for such purposes was to be raised. We consider all the money we have spent in encour- . aging schools, churches and pub- lie enterprises in Green Forest ays well invested; in fact, we con- slider 1t saved.
 THE TRIBUNE believes that if the desire to get rich could be eliminated from the minds Of many people of Green Forest long enough for them to take 9 broad view of the situation, give the matter of churches and schools q business consideration, more hberality would be mani- fested toward these matters, and that our needs upon these lines would be easily met; and tha2 the consequent growth of theS , town would pay back the principaii , and big interest upon all none ol spent in these directions.
