Explained.

The Governor and Council held their
regular March meeting. Thursday af-
ternoon, at 4 O'Clock. 1t was their first
meeting in the remodelled Executive
chambers, and the event was signall-
lied by busy two-nOur session and a
good attendance of visitors and persons
VINO had important matters to present.
Ali seven of their members were at
their desks. The public session was
followed by brief executive session
at 6 O'Clock. during which it was un;tn-
imously voted to pardon Walda F..
Woodward of Atkinson. serving Il sem
tence in Penobscot jail for larceny. up
on whose case Il hearing had just been
held. During the executive session the
20 nominations made, last week, were
also confirmed.
There was large amount of routine

reports from various council commit
tees. warrants drawn from various APP
prOpria tons, and orders passed. One
order or Importance was that authoriZ-
ing State Treasurer Smith to buy in
and cancel unmatured bonds of the
State to the amount of 100000 from
the surplus in the treasury. if he
deems the same to be for the financial
interest of the State. The kenrebec
county commissioners, Messrs. Spear
Ia ssett ana Adams, appeared before
the council and presented the matter
of the various Kennebec towns which
have not received from the State the
amount they expected as help towards
making permanent improvements in
the Highways. There is Il general mix
up in the Interpretation of this State
good roads law. and many towns all
over the State have gone ahead and eX-
pended in good faith more money than
they would have done had they under
stood its strict provisions. These towns
now want the State to reimburse them.
since Il large part of the appropriation
made by the Legislature for good roads
is still Uncxpended in the State treas
ury. but the Governor and Council say
that the meaning of the law is plain
and they DO not feel that they have the
right to pay towns more than they can
rightfully claim.

Discovery of Cliff DweIIers.

An Ell Paso. Tex, dispatch says that
DR.. Bush, the welfknown .archaeolo-
gist, is back from trip Of 700 miles
into the interior of northern Mexico, in
the Sierra Madre mountains, and says
he discovered a race of people that
prove the perpetuation of the race Of
Cliff Dwellers who once inhabited this
section. The language of these people
is unknown and different from any
other he ever heard, and the hero
glyphicI on stones correspond to the
hieroglyphics found in the remains Of
Cliff Dwellers' homes.
He also found mummies exactly like
these unearthed in the Cliff settle
ments and people Of about the same
size. Their huts are practically under.
ground on mountain sides and every
thing indicates connection with the
Cliff Dwellers. The doctor got photo
graphs Of his discoveries and will re,

King Edwards visit to this country

to his succession to the throne. besides
which he has travelled extensively both
in India and in Canada. as well as in
northern Africa and Asia Minor. His

Neither the Kaiser. nor yet the King
Of Italy, have been able to extend their
extra European travels beyond the
Holy Land. But they are constantly
visiting foreign courts and foreign
countries in Europe and have thus
made themselves far better acquainted
with men and conditions abroad than
any of their predecessors on the throne

having shown an average increase in
wages during this period of 1876 per
cent.
The inquiry into the cost Of living
shows that living for working mems
families having under $1,000 income
per year has increased during the
period 1916 per cent.
In order to ascertain this average
increase, the labor bureau secured
the income and expenditure in detail
Of 1867 families in thirty-three states,
retail prices being taken.
The statement shows that the 1851
families consisted of an average OF
5.31 persons and that the average In
come for the year 1901 was 1927, the
average annual expenditure for all pur,
poses $76S, and the average expendi,
lures for food 1926 per family.
The principal items Of expenditure
were:
Food, 1884 per cent of the total ex,
penditure; rent, 1895 per cent; clo-
thing, 14.04 per cent, and taxes, insur.
ance, organization dues, religion,
charity, books and newspapers, amuse,
ments, sickness and death, and intoxi,
eating liquors, 14.51 per cent.
Each family consumed 349 pounds Of
fresh beef during the year at cost
of $50.
The lowest average price of food
from 1890 to 1903 was in 1896, when it
was 95.5 per cent. of the average
price from 1890 to 1899.
The highest price was in 1902, when
1t was 110.9 per cent. of the average
price for the period.
The average cost of food per family
in 1890 was $31S; in 1896, $296; in
1902, S344, and in 1903, $342.
