lhe answer was not true, but it would
not have been to the point If it were.
Not in the printing business, merely,
but in most modern business, the man

A story is told of rustic who, after
imbibing too freely, fell asleep by the

The day was hot. and swarm of
flies settled on his face and proceeded
to make his sleep anything but pleas

came along to add their torture to that
of the flies. OF course the man woke

Many stories have been written
about mirages and delusions, but none
has been more interesting and curious
than that Of the silent ity mirage.
which makes its appearance near the
Pacific glacier in Alaska. The dis
covery of this wonderful mirage was
made by the Indians, who would tell
of the city which was built in the
clouds. The mirage can be seen in the
early part of July from to6P. NJ. 1t
rises from the side Of the Pacific rla-
cier. 1t Grst appears like a heavy mist
and soon becomes clearer, and one can
distinctly see the scepter city, well de-
fined streets and trees, tall spires and
huge and odd shaped buildings which
appear TO be ancient mosques or ca
thedrals. 1t is a city which would
seem to contain at least $4,000 or 30
00O inhabitants.
As yet no one has been able to iden-
tify it, although several have claimed
to recognize the place There is no
city like it in Alaska nor in any eoun-
try about it for thousands of miles.
Some claim it is a city in Russia, others
say it is a city in England, but none
can tell whe and what it is. The
m.rage was given the name of silent

city. here is nothing that would

members Of the House committee In charge
of matters relating to the new House OF
Representatives Office building. caused
report today that a conference in relation
to the new building to decide upon matters
of importance would be held. To Star
reporter however, Mr.. Cannon today stated
that the presence of the members of the
committee in the city at the same time was
purely accidental and that nothing could be
done at this time by tho committee. He
said they were waiting upon the work OF
acquiring title to the land south OF the
Capitol grounds which will form the site
of the building and that from present ap-
pearances that would take month or two
longer.
Mr. Cannon and Mr.. Hepburn had a talk
today in Mr.. Cannon's committee room. but
1t had slight reference to the plans for the
new building.
While Mr.. Cannon and Mr.. Hepburn were
in the committee room this morning they
were visited by District Attorney Beach.
who had already explained to them causes
for the delay in acquiring title for the land.
Mr. Beach called a the committee room in
order to see whether further information
was desired, but the members of the COM
mittee had no further questions to ask.
Mr.. Beach expects to have title to the
land about September l. The Washington
Title Company has concluded its examina-

July it is expected the commission for the
condemnation Of the land will be appointed.
1t is hoped that by September 1 all OBJ
