CIerk to Become = Ren.aIe..

William S. Shaffer of 1920 Sacra-
mento street, deputy in the Office of
the probate clerk. was the recipient
yesterday of unusual attentions from
his fellow-workers in the clerks office.
the occasion for their solicitude being
his coming marriage to Miss Gertrude
Parker of $3.50 Sacramento street. The
wedding is to take place at the home
OF the bride Monday afternoon, Rev.
George Hough of the First Congrega-
tional Church officiating. Mr. and Mrs.

desired by the teachers are alleged to
have been rejected that the inferior
text put out by the American concern
might be purchased. The trust" is
said to have been in possession at all
times of the secret information of the
text book commission and of the State
Board of Education, of which 1t is a
part. and thereby placed in position of
great advantage.
KIRK BLAMED BY BOOK MEN.
The burden of the complaints against
the administration of textbook affairs
has been placed on the shoulders of
superintendent Kirk. re is held re-
sponsible for the success Of the trust
in outstripping others. They charge
that he has virtually been acting in the
capacity of agent for the American
Book Company and made it possible
Tor the concern to make off with the
lions share of the business. So long
as Kirk remains at the head of the
school system, declare the outside
agents, they cannot get a square deal.
and their conviction on this point is
fully equaled by their determination
that he shall be eliminated hereafter
as the dominant factor in school BOOK
affairs.
The war on Kirk has been going on
for several weeks and in all sections
of the State the fighting book men
have been busily taking a hand in
the formation of delegations. The ac-
cusatfons against the incumbent Super-
intendent have been freely spread about
by personal address and by circulars
that were prepared in abundant supply.
The battle will reach it's climax in
Santa Cruz and the superintendency
promises to be fought over with a BIT
ter purpose on all sides. Kirk has sur
prised his adversaries before in the
art of winning votes of convention dele
gates and will probably give his
enemies a good tussle.
Los ANGELES GIVES AMMUNITION.
A large amount of ammunition for
the campaign against the State Super-
intendent has been furnished by j. III.
Strine of Los Angeles, who lost the no.
sition of secretary OF the textbook
commission because OF Kinks opposi-
tfon to him. Strine is still bitter in
his enrnity and is supplying the greater
part of the information that is being
disseminated to count Kirk out at
Santa Cruz. The former secretary de-
ciares that w. j. Gum, the coast repre-
sentative of the American Book Com
pany. enjoys relations of closest friend
ship with the State Superintendent and
that ugly suspicious which arose when
he first took his post with the com
mission were soon confirmed
While 1T was necessary to preserve
secrecy about much of the work of the
commission, Gum was at all times an
prised by Kirk of what was being done.
Strine alleges. On one occasion. the
former secretary states, he suddenly
came upon Kirk and the American
Book Company representative going
over the reports of the secret readers
who had been asked for their opinions
on the textbooks submitted. 1t was
because of his efforts to prevent Kirk
from showing such rank fayoritism

more than he pays for it. If it goes
down he wins and you lose, and It 1t

PALACE MAY BE AMERICAN EMBASSY

- ECENT dispatches say that the
American ambassador at Vienna,
~ Bellamy storer, may move into
the long empty palace of Ludwig Vic
tor, in the famous Ringstrasse, in that
city
The palace, one of the most beauti-
full in Vienna, has been closed and close
" curtained ever since its imperial
owner, who, by the way, is the only
surviving brother Of Emperor Francis
Joseph, departed. He was banished
from the Austrian court and capital
for reasons that have never been re-
vealed. 1t is understood, however, that
it was because Of his being party to
some particularly vicious scandals, for
he was always having "affairs" that
shocked even the Viennese, who have
been pretty tolerant Of scandals.
1t is stated that the situation Of the
palace for an embassy could not be
better, being near the foreign Office
the opera and the center Of the city
The rooms are filled with beautiful fur
niture, choice pictures and other ar
objects. Everything is in the Onditio1
in which the archduke left it when hi
was compelled to leave.

Nepaunee. Mich, March E10.-Men
who have to do with kork in the timber
in. this district report plenty OF cyl
dence that fur-bearing animals i !. are
largely on the increase. Especially ~
this true of beavers, a fact. no doubt
due to the protection given the animals
by law, their killing being prohibited
before the year 1910.
Fear is expressed that long before
that time the animals will have multi
pliey to such an extent as to become
nuisance. They have already flooded
considerable areas of land by damming
up the streams in which they have
built their houeses, and lumbermen have
| been put to considerable trouble and
| expense in breaking these dams where
! logging roads have been inundated by
the water backed up by them.
| In the district about Horseshoe lake,
near Eagle Hills, the evidence of the
work of the beavers is very marked,
many of the roads near the streams IN
the vicinity being impossible because
flooded with water that has been
backed up by series of dams thrown
up by the animals. In the woods III

south of ,Negaunee, beavers have. been
a nuisance for some time past. They
i have worked havoc to timber. border.
ing the streams and small lakes, and
logging contractors assert that instead
