An Abvsslnlan Mint.

The American consul at Alden in a
recent report to the Department Of
Commerce and Labor says that King
Menelik is to have his own mint,
which will be in full operation in a
short time, turning out Abyssinian
coinage of all sorts in a steady
stream. The outfit for the mint has
been transported thither, and it
weighed nearly 500 tons, showing that
the institution is to be taken quite
seriously. Hitherto King Menelik has
had a limited silver coinage, the mint
ing being done in France. For quite a
long time the King has been boarding
up bullion, AS a token of Abyssinian
enterprise the new mint will surpass
anything in the history of the coun-
try.

New York,s Water supply.

That the population of New York
City will have reached 500, 900 twenty
years hence, and that the city will be
driven to draw a water supply from
Lake Erie, or the Adirondack region,
is the opinion of the joint committee
on city affairs and forests OF the New
York Board of Trade and Transporta-
ton. which has been investigating and
made its report to the full board.
The committee found that in 1925
the water power of the Catskill region
will be entirely exhausted if the pop
ulation of this city continues to in
creas at the present rate.

A Family Trust.

The other day, while a 7-year-old
Lowell miss was having her hair
combed, she said: Mamma, what
makes my hair crack so?'
Her mother explained that this
cracking vas caused by the electric
ity in her hair, %whereupon the young
lady assumed an attitude of deep
thought.
Presently, when everybody had for
gotten the incident, she caused a tit
ter among the whole family by ex-
claiming, Mamma, amt it funny!

Before trying to match the sample

"'Oh,' said the woman. 7 don't
want any. Almost any other piece
will do. That particular shade is
very unbecoming. l just wanted tc

The customer laughed. What did
you say?" she asked.
I'D rather not tell" said the clerk
Anyhow, since then l have been eau

1t is stated in Washington, that
under the Townsend rate bill, if a
rate is fixed by the Commission it
cannot be lowered by a railroad.
Should an emergency arise calling for
a decreased rate, the railroads or
shippers would have to appeal again
to the Commission, there being no
latitude allowed, whatever the cir
cumstances. Hitherto a maximum
rate has been the rule, but no such
concession is made under the pro-
posed legislation.

has since been heard from him, these
facts giving rise to the belief that he
perished in the blizzard or went through
an air hole in the ice.

booklet dealing with the Lewis and Clark
exposition at Portland. The book is
by Olin d. Wheeler and carefully de-

what it was when the pioneers first set
foot on those shores. It goes into the
exploits of Captains Cook, Balboa, Magel-

the story of the naming of the Columbia

Then it describes the trail followed by
Lewis and Clark in their historic ex-
pedition and the mighty deeds they did in
opening up the country for settlement
The book pays particular attention to the
natural attractions of the Western coast.
It points out that from the grounds of the

seeking to have its special agents .inves-

passes to patent. This policy, which al
ready is in full practice, has borne good
results and patents have been withheld
wherever the slightest ground for sus-
picion has been found
Some interest attaches to the inyesti-
cation of alleged fraudulent desert land
entries in Montana on which special
agents have been engaged Senator Glib
son, of that state, many months ago sent
two letters to the commissioner of the
general land Office forwarding complaints
of citizens that there were frauds in this
class of entries. The matter. was taken
up and desert land entries since then
have been rigidly investigated. The COM
plants were that the lands entered were
not taken in good faith. were not being
irrigated and were not entered for culti-
walton purposes as required by law.
