to be some foundation for this ~

Spencer Not a Vegetarian.

Herbert Spencer is poking fun at
the vegetarians of England and has
taken them completely by surprise In
asmuch as vegetarian faddists thought
they could claim the philosopher as
one of their own. Mr.. Spencer does not
apparently think highly of the mental
state produced by a year Of vegetable
diet. He said recently: II went over
all that had written during the year
practiced vegetarianism and con.
signed 1t all to the fire." Since then
he has been saying some facetious
things about the "devotees of the
truck garden" as he calls the vege-
-tarians.

Council Takes Up Cues
ton Of Extending City
Limits.
Resolutions Pres ente d
and Matter Placed in
Committee.

Never before have the advocates of
an extension of the city's corporation
lines been as likely to satisfy their
desires as at the present time. Mon
day night Councilman Owen, at the
instigation of President Leggett, sub
mitted a resolution to extend the lin
it's. 1t was:
Whereas the matter of extending
the city limits has been subject for
discussion for several months and no
action having been taken to that end,
and
Whereas, is appears that the best
interests of the city would be observed
by an extension of the city limits,
therefore be 1t,
Resolved, that the committee on fl
nance and the city solicitor investigate
the matter of extending the limits and
report their findings to this council at
their earliest convenience.
This was unanimously adopted. The
finance committee is composed of
Messrs. Lynch, Hall and Barnett
They will attend to the matter at
once, ascertaining as nearly as possi-
BILE, the taxes which would be de-
rived from payments of people now
residing beyond the limits and the in
creased cost to the city.
1t is probable that the committees
report will be favorable to an exten-
sions If so the next census, in 1910,
will show a great gain in the popu-
lation OF Canton. Hundreds of homes
are situated outside the corporation
lines, which to the unacquainted are
taken as part of the city. These
residents practically receive all the
benefits which the citizens Of Canton
enjoy They use city water, have po-
lice and fire protection, electric
lights and other conveniences, while
paying but a county tax.

BIC DERRICK
IS WRECKED
Workmen Have Narrow
Escape From
Death,

The large derrick used in the con-
struction of the Hurford house was
wrecked Monday evening and several
workmen had narrow escapes from
death or injury. The derrick is an i'm
mense one used for lifting large stones
and structural iron. 1t was resting
upon platforms on the second story
while large stone was being moved
one of the legs or main braces slip
ped from the wall and plunged to the
floor beneath.
The result was that the derrick fell
the main arm carrying the stone.
breaking off like pipe stem. Other
portions Of the derrick were wrenched
from their moorings and broken.
When the crash came men carrying
brick and mortar, and who were en-
gagged in other work about the biuld-
ing, dropped their loads and tools and
ran.
There were several narrow escapes,
but fortunately no one was caught The
break will delay the work several dayg
until the lerrick is repaired.

NO DESIGNS
I STIPULATED.
Plans for Mckinley Me-
mortal are lnvit-
ed.

For the information of artists and
others wishing to submit designs for
the memorial to be built over the
grave of William Mckinley, Assist
ant Secretary Hartzell, of the asso-
citation, has had prepared circular
which will be sent to all artists maxi
ing inquiries concerning the monu-
ment. This circular contains two
views of the monument hill in West
lawn cemetery with description of
the place and a typographical map.
The tract of land, as described by
the sketch contains II acres and is,
at its extreme height, rs feet above
the water which runs at its base,
1t is bounded on the north and west
by 'Westlawn cemetery proper, and
on the south opens into Hazlett and
Lincoln avenues by junction of these
two streets made on the property of
the association.
The eastern front of the property is
bounded by the water works race and
between this and the city proper lies
considerable tract of vacant land
which 1t is thought will ultimately be
parked by the city.
The trustees of the association have
no special designs in contemplation.
They invite the views of artists and
of the people generally, in hopes that
through a multitude of counsel they
will be enabled to reach result that
shall be acceptable to the whole peo-
pie.
Whether 1t shall take the form of a
monolith, a tomb or mausoleum,
and whether it shall be massive and
plain, or abound in sculpture. will
only be decided when those who are
capable have submitted expressions of
their ideas in such form as to enable
the trustees to come to satisfactory
decision.
A sufficient sum will be set aside
to prepare the property for the pur-
pose intended, and. apart from this
necessary expense, it is the intention
of the trustees to spend $4,000 900 on
the structure proper. No design will
be considered which contemplates an
expenditure Of more than that sum.

"The traffic just now on Fish river is immense, "said Warren Nelson of Coun. cil, who arrived in town Thursday, ''and work on Ophir and other creeks is starting up in lively manner. The De Soto Placer Mining Co. are busy at work and are putting in machine shop and hospital at Council"
 The Wild Goose Mining Co. is putin g in hydraulic elevators on Ophir, which promise to be great success, and the Ophir Hydraulic Mining Co.,, composed of w. H. Soderberg and Al. Guinan, will work six different claims this sea- son. Under the supervision of Mir. Nelson much of the work was com pleted before the arrival of the spring boats. He constructed over 2300 feet of fumes, and large rock cut 75O feet in length, besides stripping of the tundra the whole length of the ditch.
 On July 4th the company's horses, nineteen in number, arrived from Nome, and since that time have been kept constantly at work on the ditch, The work will be completed about July 20.
 These gentlemen are also interested in No. above and other properties or Ophir creek.
 Messrs. Guinan & Soderberg's large mining interests in this district will bs under the supervision of Gerald O'Shea a thorough placer miner from Cali fornia.
