WILL ORGANIZE LODGE OF aKS.
Application Now Under Consideration
by Supreme Exalted Ruler.

Application for charter for the
institution of lodge of the Benev-
olent and Protective Order of Elks
in this city is now under advise
ment by the Supreme Exalted Ruler
of the order, the only question for
consideration being the size of the
city, it being one of the laws of the
order that no dispensation shall be
granted for the institution of lodge
in a city of less than five thousand
inhabitants.
The last official census of the CITY
in 1900 gave Virginia a population
of approximately three thousand,
but the affidavits of several repre-
sentative business men that the CITY
has nearly or quite doubled since
that time, have been forwarded, and
it is confidently expected that the
desired dispensation will be forth
coming in time for the institution
of the lodge the latter part of the
month.
The new lodge will organize with
a charter membership of twenty
seven, while another class of twenty
is in sight, insuring a rapid and
pleasing growth.

CITY COUNCIL TALKED SEWER.
Contractor Mcdonnell Present and
DESTROYS of Effectinq Settlement.

The city council had an interest
ing after-session on Tuesday even:
ing, theregular order OF business
being supple emented by a considera-
ton of the sewer settlement prob
lem and the bill rendered by Con-
tractor Mcdonnell for extras and re-
pair work on main sewer system.
The matter was taken up a month
since and the contractor was award
ed total balance in settlement of
$3.50 by the council, but this amount
was refused and a claim of $1,37l!@
presented, this chain being accom-
paniedsby a proposition on the part
of Nh. Mcdonnell to settle the mat
ter by the acceptance of an order
for $500 together with the threat of
the contractor that unless payment
in that AMOUNT was Forthcoming he
would sue for the entire bill pre-
sented.
The after:session, with Mr.. Nc
Donnel present to explain his posi-
ton and to maintain the Legitimacy
of his account, became an animat-
ed sear1ce, not at all one-sided.
Mayor Fay opposed the idea of a
compromise, basing his stand not
only upon the fact that the. sewer
work asdone was not in accordance
with contract in all respects but al
so upon the section of the city
charter which expressly forbids
compromise settlement Of any &C.
count against the municipality.
The contract was made with the
city under the regime Of the former
city administration, bearing date
of Septen ber 80, 1903, and called for
the completion of the work on Dec
ember 3lst, last, making provision
for $40 per day deduction after
that date until work was completed
and FINALLY accepted by the city.
The time of the completion of the
work, the ma liner in which the work
| was done and the "holler" over
same isttoo recent matter of his
tory to need repeating to any tax
payer Interested in what becomes of
the mol1ey contributed for the sup
port i11aintainance of. the city
to need recounting here, although
the entire history was fairly we'll
failed before the close of the sea-
son.
Finally, in order to clear the mat.
ter amicably if possible, Alderman
Bush proposed a settlement of the
amount claimed to be due upon
basis of fifty per cent, Mr.. McDon-
mel signifying his willingness to
accept of settlement of this ma
ture. A motion to this effect was car
ried by bare majority, Alderman
Bush, Wiggen, George and Johnson
voting favorabley thereto, while
Alderman Mattson and President
Coffey voted adversely.
The matter now awaits the action
and signature of Mayor Fay before
becoming effective. What that ac-
tion may be we are not in position
to state, although it is not improb-
able that the mayor will seek advice
upon the question before making a
decision,

RABBITS WHITE TAIL.
Is II Natures Mode of Protecting the
Animals from Pursuers?

Is II Natures Mode of Protecting the
Animals from Pursuers?
A mild little tilt in this column last
week against the eagerness Of many
folk to-day to find protective devices
in the color and markings Of animals
has drawn several protests from
friendly correspondents. writes George
A. r. Dewar in the London Express
George +. Tayler's remarks on the rah
bits white tail I will deal with at
once. as these white follow your-lead
or marks on various animals are be
ing discussed in several quarters just
now. Mr.. Tayler quotes my remark
that rabbits. when alarmed. never fail
to make straight for cover. even
though there are no white tails to
guide them.
ut may be pointed out. however,
he urges, that the white tail is par
ticularly a signal for the does young
When alarmed the doe speeds away
followed by her progeny. These, of
course, she can easily outstrip and
they would soon lose sight Of their
mother amid the long grass and herb
age were it not for the distinguished
white tail.
IL think, therefore. that it Ia cor
rect to say this is undoubtedly ma
lures mode of protecting young rab
bits, which would otherwise become
easy prey to their pursuers.
or course. l admit that the theory
is taking and ingenious. and 1t Is also
Il fact that at present there Ia no other
way to account for the white tail OF
the rabbits. But to accept it we have
to assume--unless we believe rabbits
were simply created at the outset in
their present form. and with white
| tails-that white tails were so essen
tinl to the continuance of rabbit life
in the north that gradually these pre-
vailed till in the end the feature be
came an absolutely fixed one as We
| see 1t to-day.
Now. this may have been the case
Those rabbits not having white tail.

and close observation of rabbits that

alike would be able to escape theil
enemies practically as well as they
