miners are now washing from the creek
bottoms.
In this graveyard were found mas
todon tusks, buffalo horns, teeth and
bones of all descriptions. The mas
todon tusks are from twelve to
fourteen feet long. The tusks, teeth,
horns and bones are all found
lying together, as If the masto-
don and other prehistoric animals had
been swept down by the glacier from
remote regions and left to die together.
1t is more probable. however, that
the bones thus deposited were carried
down by the glacier from a great area,
where hundreds of mastodons had been
caught by the moving ice. Two car
loads of tusks and bones have been
removed The ivory will be shipped out
side, bringing large revenue.
PRAIRIE SCHOONER REVIVED.
TACOMA, (Wash.), May 6.-The prai-
RE schooner has been revived as one
of the most popular ways of crossing
the continent by settlers. During the
spring to date some 200 families from
Tennessee, Missouri and other Eastern
states have arrived in the Northwest
by this means. One party Of 100 fam
lilies came from Missouri using 105
teams and wagons. They took a south
ern route over the plains, through
Kansas and Nevada. then up through
Oregon. Some Of the immigrants re-
manned in Oregon, and most Of the
others have come into Washington.
T. A. Sessions, who was member OF
this party, drove his family from Garth
age. Mo. Sessions frankly admits that
they travelled in this manner to save
railway fare. The total cash outlay
for himself and family was less than
$50.
Sessions declares that there are thou
sands of poor tenant farmers in the
East and South complaining that they
are barred by railroad rates from reach
ing better country on the Pacific
Coast. He points out that the cost of
a single ticket will bring out an entire
family, as he and others have proved.
He, consumed little over three months
from Carthage to Tacoma, and the
team he drove was in good condition on
it's arrival here.
CRUDE OIL FOR HOGS.
INDIANAPOLIS Gnd.), May 7.-Sev-
eral well-to-do farmers of Cass county
have formed a company to drill for
oil and County Auditor Gard, who is
president of the company, announces
that the crude oil will not be placed
on the market, but will be fed to hogs.
Gard says experiments made by him
and others have shown that hogs thrive
better when liberal supply of oil is
given them when. being fattened for
market, and that while it conduces to
health, the oil rs mich cheaper as a
food than corn at prices which have
obtained for the past two years. The
discovery of the beneficial effects of
eating crude oil was made accidental
ly when hogs were running In fields
where oil was produced and tests were
then made, with the result that COM
pany was formed to produce oil for
the special purpose of feeding 1t to
hogs.

AGREE ON
LABOR NEED
(From Thursdays daily.)

Commissioner Sargent met with of
ficials and members of the Builders
and Traders Exchange yesterday and
for an hour there was an interchange
of ideas concerning the proper course
as to the bringing into the
country of laborers. The meeting was
one arranged by l.. e. Pinkham, and
there were gathered in the directors
room of the B. F. Dillingham; Company,
besides the commissioner and Mr.. Pink
ham, Messrs. Bowler, Craig, Mott,
Clark, Gartley. Bush and others, in
Guiding as well representatives of the
labor unions, SO that there might not
even be a suggestion that an attempt
was to be made to impress the visitor
unduly.
The men present made general
statement of the labor conditions here,
their words in effect setting forth the
same conditions and expressing the
same opinions as We're put into form
by the committee of the exchange
when the commission of senators were
in the country last fall. The opinion
expressed was that the planters should
have the right to bring into the coun-
try Chinese labor, for the purpose Of
utilizing it in the fields, for specific
time. Mr.. Sargent asked many ques-
tons showing some acquaintance with
conditions here, but one of the first
things he asked was that he be not
quoted as to anything he might say
In the conference.
After this unanimous expression OF
opinion the members of the exchange
asked that the influence of the COM
mission be used for the purpose of Sc
curing the issuance of an executive Or
der, for the purpose of having put into
effect here on government work, the
same conditions as obtain In connec-
ton with the Territorial contracts, as
regards the employment Of citizen la
Dor.
The talk became general later in the
afternoon and the time spent was In
general exchange of views, the men
present agreeing that the meeting had
been a most cordial one. and the ex-
preston of local opinion most unani-
nous.

REPORT OF CITY
SANITARY OFFICER

City Sanitary officer Tracy yester-
Health telling of health conditions dur
ing the month Of April, He reports
that permits were given for lodging
houses capable of accommodating 1912
adults during the month.
In conclusion the sanitary officer
says:
zone arrest and prosecution was
made of a fish vender selling fish at a
place other than the fish market. He
was reprimanded and discharged. We
caught three others and found in each
case that the fish were not fresh and
condemned the lot. These vendors. as
a rule, knowing that their fish Will not
pass inspection, try to realize on them
and consequently peddle them about
town, and II caught, except In the act
of disposing of the fish, claim that they
are merely delivering fish which have
been ordered. If housekeepers would
report to the inspectors the visits of
these fish sellers we could more easily
ensure a pure and fresh food supply
to the people.
"There has been fifty-four days of
special work done this month by the
inspectors which accounts for the
meager reports from some of the dis
tricts. for this special work is not in
cluded in these reports.
1.-THE old ditch between the Govern
ment wash houses and the fertilizer
works has been filled by the Garbage
Department with ashes from the dumps
so that this menace to health Is no

WASHINGTON, N. j.. May Sat
tracted by cries of Murder" Help
Come quick" neighbors of George b.
Andrews, of this place, ran to his
house to find out the cause. They
knew the cries were made by his par
rot, but they had never heard 1t
scream so loud before. Andrews lay
on the floor unconscious, bleeding from
a. great cash in his neck. He had
been repairing the ceiling and had
fallen from step-ladder, striking a
stove. A physician took six stitches
in the wound and said that in only a
few minutes Andrews would have been
dead. This is not the first time the
parrot has looked after the welfare of
its owner. Some years ago the house
next door caught fire. The parrots
screams awakened Andrews in time
to arouse his neighbors before much
damage was done. Andrews Is a
veteran of the Civil War and some
time ago he applied for admission in
the Soldiers Home. On being inform
ed that he would be accepted he
wrote the authorities, asking IL he
would be permitted to bring his par
rot. Their answer being in the mega
tive. he decided not to go.

Gomad Cheese, a Jewish synagogue
congregation, was sued by Samuel
Graves, a pawnbroker and jeweler, for
siXty-five dollars, the value of a pew
which he had agreed to sell to H.
Jagota, shoemaker, and the court
rendered judgment against the con-
gregation. Before buying the pew
from Graves, Jagota, like all of the
had occupied seat in the rear of the
church. When Jagota with his family
attempted to enter the aristocratic
section where his new pew was
located, we was met by the president
of the congregation who told him that
he could not sit in that section. ia
gotta pushed by determined to assert
his rights. but when he reached his
pew he found it's entrance blocked and
barricaded with chairs. In the face
of this opposition Jagota abandoned
his claim to the pew and refused to
pay for it. Thereupon Graves brought
suit against the congregation officially
to recover the amount he lost because
he was unable to deliver to Jagota the
pew according to contract.

CODE COMMISSION
GETS TO ITS WORK

The Code Commission which has al
ready got down to work has before it
a long task, and one which it is likely
will occupy the time for the next year.
The commission has organized by the
selection of the Chief Justice as chair
man, and the first thing done there
after was the outlining of the branches
of work for which each member is to
be held responsible.
1t was decided by the members of
the commission that in each case the
law should be traced to the original,
the code of 1853 Of course being taken
as the first source for all enactments
prior to that, but for everything since
there will be a tracing to the session
laws This will mean that there will
be an immense amount of work to be
done by the members of the commits
sion and the three men are already
hard at it,.
Another feature which crops out is
that there will be lot of work which
will fall upon the members before they
can use economically any clerks. They
will do all their first work and the out
look is that there will be no expendi-
ture for clerks for several months yet.

1t was, however, contradictory and he
favored the preparation Of similar rem

opinion the the effect that the county
act was valid Notwithstanding the OBJ
jections Of Cooper
This opinion was as follows:-
May 10, 1908.
To the Territorial Board of Public In
situations, Honolulu, Vt. H.
Gentlemen:-
IN RE VALIDITY OF THE BOARD
OF PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS:
In answer to your request Of May
9Th, as to the questions raised by cor
respondence between the Superinten-
dent Of Public Works and this Board,
after investigation would state:
In answer to the first point, as set
forth by him, I would say, that while
he, as Superintendent of Public Works,
was placed in control of the various
matters recited, such matters were
taken from under his jurisdiction by
Act 81 of the Legislature Of 1903, and
vested in your Honorable Board.
In regard to his second point I would
say, that this Board is not such a
Board Of public character as meant or
understood by Sec. so of the Organic
Act, and does not come under It's pro-
visions, and that in my opinion the
Government should take the stand that
the provisions in the act constituting
the Board of Public Institutions Is
germane to the general subject of
county government.
In regard to the third point, I do
not believe that Act 81, aforesaid, would
be construed as being illegal in Its
entirety for any of the reasons stated
therein.
Respectively submitted,
LORRIN ANDREWS,
Attorney General.
Upon motion of Secretary Carter the
Attorney General was instructed Ito
