to have removed their machinery to

the cut is finished the machinery will be
taken to Green Point and placed in one
mill which will then have capacity Of

There is now strung along the road
from the Berger place down some $4,000

any failure or refusal on his part to do
so will be held sufficient cause for his

IndirnS Cut the Limbs 100 Years Ago
Gilmer, WASH, April s, l904.-Editor
Glacier: Anent your article in last
weeks paper regarding ak marks on
trees. Recently some trees were cut at
White Salmon Falls. Before they were
cut, Jacob Hunt, an Indian about so
years old living near, said they would
find AK marks as you described. He
says when child his mother told him
that years previously, about 100 years
ago as near as can be estimated, during
an exceptionally severe winter they and
their ponies were starving They climbed
the trees and cut off the limbs to secure
the moss with which they were covered.
For themselves they soaked the moss till
fermented then washed and fried in fat
or stewed with other food to increase
the bulk and supply. Doubtless the
same explanation applies in your in
stance. Yours truly, M. MANLY.

Extinct Animals.

No extinct land animal of former ages
has bigger body than has the biggest
African elephant of to-day, and not
enc, so far as is known, exceeded or
even equaled, in total bulk tho exist
ing great whales, which sometimes are
all of 100 feet long. AS elephants,
horses and similar animals are traced
backward through the various strata
they are found to get smaller and
smaller. Some extinct elephants were
no bigger than Shetland ponies, while
the horses of prehistoric times were
about the size of large dogs. In al
most every group of hairy warm
blooded animals existing specimens
are bigger than those of bygone times,
and the notion that there is any ten
dency in animal life to dwindle in size
is entirely without foundation. There
are, of course, exceptions, for the ex-
tinct sloths, kangaroos, lizards and
some others exceeded in bulk exist
ing creatures of the same order.

THE BATH IN LAW.
Question Now Before a California
Court for Decision.

Question Now Before California
Court for Decision.
What constitutes bath?
This is peculiar question with
which California court is now wrest-
ling. An anxious world imDatiently
awaits the decision.
A California householder is being
sued for the price of heater that waa
guaranteed to heat sufficient water for
a bath, and the defendant has proved
that 1t supplied only 35 gallons of hot
water, which he alleged to be INSULT
Client for bath.
The plaintiff insisted that 35 gallon'
is ample, declaring that "a man could
get wet first on one side and then on
the other" and that lit is not neces-
sary that he should take a plunge in
a swimming pool"
On this question the issue Is joined
The court has the matter under ad-
visement.
The decision will, of course, be of
great importance, no matter on which
side 1t is rendered. The legal quantity
of water necessary to legal bath
ought to be clearly defined, for the
protection of the public against people
who evidently regard pint or so sufii-
cient.
Bible students will recall the fact
that among the ancient Hebrews the
bath" was a regular liquid measure,
and scholars have agreed on eight and
one-half gallons as its modern equiva-
lent. 1t would seem, therefore, that
if eight and one-half gallons was the
regulation amount for bodily additions
in the days of Solomon, then 80 gal
Ions ought to be ample at the present
time.
This important fact is cited, not
from any desire to unduly influence
the court, but merely to substantiate
the point that the bath ought to be
legally defined now as it was in the
time of Solomon.
And when the requirements have
been fixed, even Chicago professors
ought to be made to conform ~ them.
