researches into the old forts and bur-
led cities of the vanished races which
lived in this section of the county be-
fore the Indians and the Aztecs.
The interest in this work has be-
come almost national in nature as the
result of discoveries which were made

A peculiar nauseating odor, unlike
anything encountered in mines in
Montana, leads Mr.. Strong to believe
that further along his workings he

Washington, d. c., July -6.-In re-

China, Consul George L. Anderson has
sent reply, in which he says:
Already there is considerable busi-
ness done in foreign leaf, Shanghai

year: but this was mostly for use of
foreigners. The real Chinese trade is
not reached. When II is considered
that the same port imported through

of prepared native leaf and 1898, 900
worth OF native leaf, with probably
similar or even a greater amount of

tobacco trade of China is enormous.
But the greater portion of the tobacco

FINGER PRINTS IN THE NAVY.
VIII BE Used as Part of the Identifi-
cation Record.

Washington, ID. c., July 6.-The
navy department has completed ar
rangements for the adoption OF the
finger print system of Identification.
This is a system which has been
adopted for the army and which will
go into effect on September l. The
navy department Is not able to go into
the matter so thoroughly as is pro-
posed in the army, but every man ac-
cepted at a naval recruiting office
will be required to leave his finger
and thumb prints. Records of these.
taken from the usual glass slides, will
be sent to Washington and classified
in the bureau of navigation, where
two civilians will be employed at a
specially authorized salary of $500
each, TO develop and maintain tho
system.
1t is apprehended that men, already
In the navy will have a prejudice
against submitting to this means Of
Identification, and It has been decided
to subject only new recruits to the
process, although the record would be
valuable as means Of identifying
the dead or badly injured when there
was no other way Of recognition. In
the army no such prejudice seems to
exist, and the records will be complet-
ed as soon as It is possible to obtain
them. In the navy of course. the sys-
TEN will eventually be completed with
the re-enlistment of men who are not
now to be required to leave their
finger print records.

dication of success. Al the meeting
of the general Fourth of July com-
mittee, which is TO be held tonight
the subject will be brought up. and

To raise subscription for the pur-
pose.
The idea of summer evening con-
certs by the Eagles band has been dis
cussed for some time. ar6 the sI,Ien-
did entertainment given hy the band
"n the evening of the Fourth showed
what pleasure the people may derive
from such an Arrangement. The
court house grounds furnish a pleasant
place for concert. and with but
small expense a band stand cou,i be
erected at a suitable place IN the
grounds.
When asked this morning as to the
bund's willingness to serve. c. c.
Sharp. the leader. declared the mem
bers were dcsirous of holding concerts
provided sufficient money is raised TO
justify them for the trouble.
During the day several prominent
local business men were seen ana all
were found strongly "A favor Of ar
ranging for the concerts. Leon Cohen
declared his willingness to contribute
to such a fund, as did also Lee
Teutsch. NJ. A. RAIDER and others.
In the opinion of Mr. Teutsch the
concerts should be held at the court
house grounds, and the benches that
were used along the sidewalks on the
Fourth be so arranged around the
grounds Most of the benches belong
to NJ. A. RAIDER, and he has offered to
allow them used for the purpose.
II is suggested that concerts be
held one or two evenings each week.
and that a sufficient subscription be
raised to provide for concerts during
the next two or three months. How
much will be required is not vet
known, as the band has so far placed
no price on It's service,
Tonight the Fourth Of July commit
tee will meet to wind up its affairs.
and should there be surplus Il is
possible the money may be turned
into concert fund, though most OF
the business men advocate a refund
OF any surplus and the raising of
separate subscription for the band
concert.
