of special Importance. The following

The annual financial statement will
show a deficit Of about .$l5, 900. This
is considerably less than was expected,

hamper Mr.. Wirthy whoCis to have

WILL, APPEAL CASE
Patterson Street Lighting Company
Thinks It Can Win Yet.

Charles NJ. Patterson of the Patter-
son Street Lighting company announces
that the company will appeal from the
decision Of the district court in the
mandamus proceedings to compel the
mayor to sign a contract for street
lighting. There will be no unnecessary
delay, as the company is as anxious for
O. final adjudication Of the question as
the mayor and the council, and does
not fear that the judgment of the lower
court will be sustained.
Mr.. Patterson thinks that Judge
Brown gave great weight to the
Brody case in Ramsey county, which
was based on the st. Paul charter. The
Minneapolis form Of government and
charter are entirely different from
those Of St. Paul, and he argues that
it does not follow that methods en-
ployed there must be followed here.

| Pecos region OF western Texas con.
open to exploitation to all corners.
Much salt is removed annually, but
no record of the extent of the output
has ever been kept New Mexico has
deposits in the shallow lake basins.
The largest of these is in the west
central part of the territory on the
main line of the Santa Fee railroad.
The water contains about 26 percent
of salts. The supply is kept UP by
springs which are supposed to rise in
salt beds.
Throughout Idaho, Utah and Navada
there are eX ,enSive surface deposits
of salt, some of which are associated
with bodies of water, while others are
not. The most famous of these is, of
course, the Great Salt Lake of Utah.
The salt is won from the brine by sim
pie evaporation in great shallow arti-
fetal ponds, care being taken not to
allow the bitter salts of the lakes to
enter the commercial article Salt
occurs in vast quantities in the de-
posts found IN the ancient lake basin
in the southern part OF California bat
the only commercially productive
deposits of this character have been
flooded by the recent diversion of the
Colorado river into the Salton Sink
The great production which puts Cali
fornia in the sixth place in order to
output among the states comes from
the evaporation of sea water, the con-
ditions for which are particularly IA
vorable on the east side of San Fran
cisco bay.
No attempt has even been made to
ascertain what percent of salt con-
sumed in the United State is used for
culinary purposes The annual out !
put is largely consumed in the indus !
tries of meat packing, fish curing, |
dairying and the like. The chlorina- |
ton of gold ores demands a large !
quantity, and great quantities Of salt i
in the form of brine are used in the |
of soda ash, caustic so
da, and other salts. Salt is cheap. |
The average price for 1905 was lit
lie over 23 cents a barrel, which is
lower than that reported in any previ-
Gus year. Dry salt, of course, brings
a higher price than brine. The aver
age price for dry salt last year was
Isl cents barrel.

after failing to go through school on

II had a new feeling of peace and
restfulness. IN a few weeks, to my
great JOY, the headaches and nerv-

PRESERVE THE BUFFALO.
Ernest Harold Baynes Talks on sour
Grandest American Animal"

! Gra1deSt American Animal"
Ernest Harold Baynes gave talk
before the Society of Arts on the
american Bison: Our Grandest Am
erican Animal" Mr. Baynes is secre-
tary of the American Bison Society,
| president of which is Theodore
Roosevelt and which count among
| their members the governor general of
| Canada. The object of this society
is to promote a public sentiment that
will influence congress to provide for
the perpetuation of the American
bison. At present there is bill be-
fore Congress providing for the APP
preparation of $4,000 for the main
tenance of a herd.
Mr.. Baynes said that the bison was
the most numerous of all mammals OF
modern times. The numbers that at
one time lived on this continent was
in the millions, and it seems remark
able that they could have become al
most eXterminated in SO short time.
There are but two wild herds of buff
falo in existence today, one in the
Yellowstone National Park and anoth-
er in Canada. There are few pri-
vate herds, but all of these are, with
out exception, for sale to anyone who
will pay reasonable price.
Before the white men who are re-
sponsible for this depletion invaded
the West the Indians killed the buffalo
themselves, and depended upon the
buffalo generally for their living.
When the white men came they be-
gan killing the buffalo, and the Indi-
ans were instructed to kill as many as
possible and to bring their hides to the
trading stations. The white hunters
also took up the slaughter and there
are white men living today who have
killed 10000 buffaloes with one rifle.
There is on record case where l5OO
buffaloes were killed in fifteen min
utes by hunting party. Whole
herds were exterminated at one time
by driving them over precipices, and
by coralling and slaughtering them by
the wholesale.
Many people ask if the preservation
of the buffalo is Of any practical val
lie. In an attempt to answer this
question satisfactorily, Mr.. Baynes
has trained two buffaloes to work in
harness or under yoke. These ami
mails were exhibited at the Sports
mans Show last fall and are doubtless
remembered by many people. They
have been found to be very tractable
and fully as strong as oxen.
Mr.. Baynes showed various lantern
slides of the domesticated buffaloes
drawing various wagons and carts,
and in one case drawing snow plow
through snow up to their shoulders.
The buffalo hide is very much more
valuable than cow hide, and it has
been found possible to weave their fur
or wool into coarse cloths. Another
valuable use for buffalo is in crossing
them with our cattle, and so forming
a race that is much stronger, health
Ter and less susceptible to cattle DIS
eases. The hair of these crosses is
also valuable, resembling very closely
fine bear fur.-Boston Transcript.
