Sea Animals in Desert.

Reno New Cor San Francisco Chronicle
Scientists of the University OF California
who have been searching for prehistoric
animals on the Nevada desert for the past
few months have succeeded in finding skel-
etons of some sea mammoths on the dry
wastes. One of the specimens is % feet
long, and, packed occupies fifty-four boxes
This specimen was found on the great
forty-mile desert in Humboldt county and
is considered one of the most valuable fos-
sis ever unearthed. Before finding this
one the scientists succeeded in locating
several smaller reptiles. which must have
lived In that region ages ago.
The professors say that the deserts Of
Nevada are rich in such prehistoric rehcs
and intend to spend several weeks more
in research. The large sea animal has been
shipped to the University of California and
will be placed In the museum of that col
lege The professors intended to cover the
whole state of Nevada before returning to
California. but so numerous have been
their finds in the Humboldt desert that
they may confine their work to that place
alone.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, Jul


Residents of North Fairfax street be-
tween King, and Cameron streets and po-
licemen In the station house were startled
last night by terrifying cries issuing from
the house occupied by G.. Henry Hodges, a
middle-aged man, who lives with his family
near the station house Persons who went
to investigate found several of the occu-
pants of the house in a state of great ex-
element over what they declared to be an
attempt on the part of Mr.. Hodges to COM
nit suicide. The fumes of gas, emanatng
from Hodges bed chamber, filled the house
and served at once to explain the state
ments Of the excited members of the fam
lily. Mr.. Hodges was found in a precarious
condition from which he was with difficulty
resuscitated. 1t was apparent that if the
detection of the escaping gas had not been
made when 1t was he would soon have been
beyond recovery, Mr.. Hodges has been in
a state of Ill health for some time. and a
few weeks ago he was thought to be on
the verge of DEATH 1t Is said that his con-
dition preyed upon his mind and his friends
attribute his alleged attempt to end his
life to dependency.

Revolution on Russian Ship,


The sailors on the Russian bat
tleship Knaiz Potemkine, the most
powerful vessel in the Black Sea
fleet, have mutinied and captured
the ship and thrown the officers
overheard. The ship now lies in
the harbor at Odessa with its guns
trained on the city and has that
place in a state Of terror. The
governor has telegraphed for a
squadron to be sent from Sebasto-
pol but as many of the crews there
have been in u nutinous state it is
feared some of those ships may
join the Knaiz Potemkine and cap
ture or sink the rest of the Black
Sea feet. The revolutionists in
Odessa, made brave by the capture
OF the ship, are firing warehouses
and looting supply stores and may
have fight with the troops at any
time.

M. F. Fuchs, the Ferdinand
merchant, informs us that he is
looking for a buyer for his general
merchandise store. Because Of
falling health he is forced to seek a
different climate and will dispose
of his store at bargain. Mr..
Fuchs came to Ferdinand about
three years ago from UniontoWn

at that point and now has one OF
the best equipped stores to be
found in any small town in the
country. He is located in very
rich farming country which is rap.
idlv growing better, and has made
good money since locating there
Were it not for his failing health
he would not think of selling
now but as it is someone seeking a
good location can not do better
than to buy him out.

who were operating with team

The peddlers were taken to Grange

we're brought before Judge Jaques
who fined them $50, which they
paid. The state law provides for a
maximum fine Of 5000 in such
cases and assesses a license Of 5000
per year on peddlers with two
horse rigs and requires them to de
posit $500 with the county treas,
urer as evidence Of good faith. The

their trip to California. They took
in a good part Of that state and
went almost as far south as San

MIR. Shaw, brother in-law of Rob

also ran across Prof. Brockman
who used to reside here. They saw
some very beautiful country while
there but Mr.. Kopczynski informs
US that while California excels Ida
no in many respects it is also ex
celled in many ways by this coun-
try, and we Judge that he is better
satisfied than ever with his Camas
prairie home. He says there are
many beautiful homes there and
the climate is delightful but good
land is very high priced and with
out good bunch oimoney person
could do no better there than here.
On the return trip they took in the

Saws Northern Pacific will not build
down the Columbia.
pDARIA CONTRAcT De LET
Ooy construction for n. P. company to
be Camas Prairie line.

No road is to be built by the
Northern Pacific down the north
bank of the Columbia. The com
pany has no such plan in prospect
and the move, though generally
credited for some time past as be.
ing one to he realized in the near
future, is not even contemplated.
This, in substance, is what Pres
ident Howard Elliott, who is in
Portland, made answer to a direct
question from the Telegram Mon
day. Mr.. Elliott stated positively
the route along the north bank was
not desired by the company IN con-
nection with its present plans, and
in fact, it had no building to be
carried on in this territory, the
nearest work to be started being
that in the Clearwater country.
The extension from Lewiston to
Grangeville is the only building
work the Northern Pacific contem
plates in the Pacific northwest.
The road to be built by the 0. R. &
N. from Riparia to Lewiston will
be owned jointly by the Northern
Pacific and Hartman interests
Portland will get the business Of
the Grangeville section when the
Toad is completed. It was not be
fore known here chat the road
from Riparia to Lewiston would be
owned jointly by the Northern Pa
cifc and 0. R. & N. 1t was un-
derstood that the road would be
operated jointly but owned by the
Hartman interests. Mr.. Elliott
says it will be built by Hartman
but will be owned by Hill and
Hartman in partnership.
The head Of the road explains
that the surveyors are yet seeking
route for the Northern Pacific
branch from Lewiston through the
Camas prairie section to Grange
vile. 1t will prove difficult en-
cheering feat to reach Camas prai-
ne without heavy haul, but the
road from Riparia to Lewiston,
which is now being staked off, and
will be constructed by the .. R. q
n, will be carried out under favor
able conditions.
Mr.. Elliott thinks the line from
Grangeville in connection with the
Riparia-Lewiston connection, will
prove of vast importance to the
residents of eastern Washington
and large part Of Idaho because

At one time in history, improving
a farm was matter of muscle
now it is brains. The soil is grad
ually losing fertility and the man
who thinks is the only one who
will be found equal to the cond-
itions, for there is too much taken
Off and not enough put back on.
In the past farm equipment was
very simple, but now a man can
go broke buying implements unless
he exercises caution. At one time
it cost but little in actual cash to
live, since most of the living was
produced on the farm. Now all
we eat and wear means money.
Once a ruinous rate of interest
was paid by farmers who now find
difficulty in loaning their surplus
money at any reasona BILE rate.
This is the day when all kind of
information has an intrinsic value.
1t is nonsense to abuse land or own
a scrub animal of any kind. 1t is
nonsense, because it is losing
game.

One Thousand Schools Without
Teachers.

A statement has been issued by
State Superintendent of Schools
James II. Fuqua, that the county
superintendent over the State viii
not be permitted to issue special
license to teachers. In 1904 there
were many schools in the various
counties without teachers aud it
was decided by the State authori-
ties to issue special license to per-
sons desiring to teach, therby fill
ing the vacancies caused by the
scarcity of the regular licensed
teachers.
The order was made last year
giving many persons without GER
tificates authority to teach in the
common schools. There are as
many vacancies this year as there
were last year, but Superlnten-
dents refuse to permit persons
without certificates to teach.
Mr. Fuqua thinks the scarcity
of teachers is due to the poor pay
they receive from the State. There
will be 900 schools in the State
this year without teachers.
