whence came the most valuable skins,
They have. for some time, been pro-
tected by the government, and pelagic
sealing In northern waters Is limited
as to time. place and manner, while
only licensed sailing vessels are per-
mitted to engage in fur sealing.
While the British method eliminates
the reproductive class and is cruel in
its results, the Americans. who kill
on land and select ony the bachelor"
seals. are far more barbarous and in
human in their killing. The land
drive" animals, fitted with no feet for
dry land and compelled to hitch along
with a great strain on the lumber
region, is the least of the cruelties
practiced in the killing. Many drop
by the wayside during the drive"
and are left to die, the skins of such
having no market value.
The hunting season is very short,
as the animals are prime" for only
twenty-eight or thirty days. Con-
sequently, everything is done in great
haste. The drive" which extends
over miles of rough, stong country,
from the sea to the vicinity of some
village, is hurried and inhuman. They
are allowed to rest occasionally, and
again at the killing grounds. but for
purely commercial reasons. for if
killed while overheated and in a state
of exhaustion the fur would be value
less. The next step is to marshal them
in a long column of from three to five
abreast and drive them between men
armed with heavy clubs, and as they
pass their skulls are crushed The
great rapidity with which this work
is conducted prevents the certainty of
instant death. and as they are cast
aside in great piles many lie their
suffering. The poorer class, the
Scared, and those whose fur is not in
good condition, together with the
breeding seals, are allowed to find
their way back to sea.

Next week will about wind IN the
season.
Tomatoes are getting scarce, and
the prices are likely to advance any
day. THERE'S still plenty of picking
stun, and new vegetables and green
stun are to be had in sufficient
amounts.
The potato market has been quite
firm, owing to few days. cool wealth
er last week. 1t is hardly expected
that the market will be any lower for
some time. All other kinds Of vege-
tables are cheap and plentiful.
The recent cold weather had little
II any effect on the lemon market, and
the supply Is insufficient to meet the
demand. Oranges. watermelons, can
taloupe and grapes are plentiful.
The dealers urge all desiring crab
apples to buy while the stock is oh
tainable and the quality good. Trans
cendents are practically out of the
marke, but some fine Hyslops are be-
ing received. The larger part of the
crop of Washington Italian prunes
has been moved, and from this on re-
ceipts will decrease and the market
will be firmer.
The fish supply has been plentiful
during the past week, and the danger
of a shortage is not as great as it
seemed week or two ago. The fish
ermen have been making better hauls
lately, and the dealers have easily
been able to supply all demands made
upon them. The poultry market has
also offered more liberal selection
during the past week.

Cruelty Of Hunting Seals

Among the most fashionable furs
for several seasons sealskins has been
conspicuous by its absence. and there
Is no doubt that the wane of it's
popularity can be traced to mans in
humanity. This is rather a startling
statement, but facts point to the truth
of 1t. The wholesale and indiscrim-
mate slaughter of these gentle and
harmless animals has, in the course of
years, had its effect: the method pur-
sued by the British government alone
being sufficient ultimately to extermin-
ate the fur seal.
1t may not be generally know that
what is called the fur seal is, properly
speaking, the sea bear, and is prob
ably more nearly related to the bear
than to the true seal. A noteworthy
item is that the short, soft, thick fur,
which is so beautiful, is generously
sprinkled with along, stiff. white hair,
which, in the process of dressing,
must be removed.
There are two methods employed in
the hunting, one. referred to above,
as pursued by the British govern
ment. being the open sea. or pelagic,
sealing. The animals are killed by
spearing them as they lie peacefully
sleeping on the water The raids"
are made in the breeding season, and
the males do not feed during that
time, but when the puppy seals are
about week old the mother centuries
out to sea in search of food. After
feeding she lies asleep on the water,
and the sealers steal upon her and
end her life. The pups left on land
are too small and feeble to care for
themselves. and they are simply al
lowed to starve to death on the froz-
en- snow. During the nineteenth
century the destruction of breeding
females, literally by the millions, sadly
depleted the herds, and practically
exterminated them in southern waters,

HOW DEVILS LAKE WAS NAMED
The Indian Name spirit Lake, Cor.
rupted by the White Man.

Quite often is the question asked
How did Devils Lake get it's name?"
This question is fully answered in an.
essay by Miss Genevieve Holkesvig
and published in the North Dakota
Farmer The essay, Our Legacy
from the Indians" treats upon great
many different phantastic Indian be-
liefs, legends and traditions connect
ed with the Dakota prairies.
Everyone, no doubt, is familiar
with the story of Devils Lake. They
say that long ago, two tribes living
on opposite shores of the lake. went to
war. Each tribe, in the course of the
conflict, conceived the plan of con-
structing large war-f1eet. To-
gether they began; together they fin
ished. together they set out from the
shore to meet in the middle of the
lake in fierce battle. But an island
near the scene, was inhabited by an
evil spirit which caused a fearful
storm to occur, wrecking both fleets.
All were destroyed. To this day, the
Indians refuse to venture on the lake
at night for the spirits of the dead
haunt the waves. At times a phan-
tom ship sails the waters and lisap-
pears. Awed and impressed, the In
dams called it Spirits Lake, which
the white man corrupted to Devils
Lake."

THE DIGGING OF THE CANAL.
During the lengthy canal discussit

During the lengthy canal discussion
of last winter, it was made plain that
many of the best informed men who
have been on the Isthmus favor the
idea of letting out the work of ex-
cavation to the lowest bidder in Sec
lions at unit prices for material re-
moved. This plan also commended
itself to several legislators who have
visited the canal as likely to yield
the best results. Should congress take
action favorably to such plan it
would be unfortunate if we had al
ready committed ourselves to a policy
that would be expensive to abandon
owing to obligations already incurred
and contracts already made. There
are some reasons that seem con-
spicuously to favor the idea of letting
out the work in the way described. 1t
would render possible a more exact
foreknowledge of cost. and would
largely do away with the possibility
of scandals either real or artificial
arising out of the conditions under
which the laborers were living or the
way in which they are said to be treat
ed by the government. 1t would de-
crease the amount of administration
machinery that has to be KEEP tin eX-
istence. where men are directly en-
ployed for the purpose of overseeing
the laborers and directing their efforts.
1t is possible that there would be
more work done and that it would
be done faster.

AN EXPERT OPINION.

Geo. servoss. who is recognized as
an authority on anything pertaining
to mason work tells us that it is diff
cult to estimate the damage done to
the new court house. He states that
ten thousand dollars is too low and
predicts that by spring there will be
cracks in the building large enough
to put your hand through. TIE build
ing is already beginning to crack on
the north side. The dome rests on
its own bearings and the building is
apt to settle away from it making
extensive repair in the roof necessary.
Mr.. Servoss does not think that re-
pairs at this time would do any good
as it is evident that the settling pro-
cess is not finished. He states that
it can never be repaired so that it
will look like new building.

DAMAGE IS $4,000
New Court House Badly Spoil
eddy Defective Plumning
CAN NEVER BE REPAIRED.
Settling Wallis Crack Huge Stones
PIastering Fails. No Recourse
From Contractors

On account of leak which has
probably been running for months
under the foundation of the new court
house the south front of the building
has settled, crackings some of the
large stones in the walls. causing the
plastering to fall and doing damage
which is estimated at ten thousand
dollars.
On account of the stupidity of the
board of supervisors it is believed
that there is no recourse but that the
handsome new building is irreparably
damaged with the taxpayers to foot
the bill.
One of the worst features of the
business is that no one knows that the
settling has stopped. The cracks
have been growing steadily during
the past two days. both in number
and size and there is no telling when
it will stop.
The trouble is said to have come
from defective plumbing done in
the basement and covered over with
the cement floor. When the leak was
located 1T was found that it came
from three-quarter inch pipe which
apparently was never properly joined.
The cement floor was laid without
any test of the plumbing being made
apparently and as result the water
has been flowing throught this leak
ever since the water was turned into
the building. Gradually the ground
ali about became soaked and spongy
until it could no longer hold the great
weight Of the superstructure and as
a consequence the building has settl-
ed. In the Recorders Office the
plastering was loosened and it was
the falling plaster which first called
attention to the damage. Not less
than dozen cracks can be seen in
the Offices Of the recorder. On the
outside the very front step of the
.ssssst house 9 large slab of very hard
stone is cracked in two. In the out
I side walls stones over foot thick
are cracked and the whole south front

of the building is damaged. Much
of this damage it will be practically
impossible to repair and the court
houes must always bear this disfgure-
ment. Still more, there is no as
surance that damage has ceased, the
probabilities are that it has not and
that new cracks will be found lin the
walls. more plastering be loosened and
more of the windows and doors be put
out of order.
According to supervisor John Cook,
the county will have no recourse. He
admits that the whole matter was
so bungled that the contractors are
already released and that there is
nothing for it but for the county to
foot the bill and make the best of the
spoiled court house front. The demo-
Gratis are in great luck that the
damage did not appear until afte, the
election. 1t would seem that the
court house leaks fore and aft. both
above and below. The people are
finding out to their cost that the Re-
view told the truth and that the sup
ervisors who were elected, have prov
ed themselves set of stupid blund-
ers. We would invite the people of
the county to come in and inspect the
poor old cracked court house.

don't. Come in and see them for
yourselves and then go out. those of
you who did it. and kick yourselves

to retain these men on the board.
! 1t is evident that the plumbing
was never properly inspected. There
was no excuse for covering the pipes
with stone and cement until proper
inspection and tests had been made.
Above all things the board should never
have signed away its rights so that
there now appears no chance to get
any damages for the careless work
manship which caused the loss
| We hope for the sake of the tax
payers that no further damage will
appear but we would be less than

+unity to force home the absolute in

before they cause the people any

is watching his own little ones with
dire apprehension lest they should

every mother is straining her children

With this terror is mingled deep grief

her sorrowing parents.
Little Myrtle Rigs would have
been ten years old next month. Last
Friday forenoon she went to school,
apparently in good health. In the
afternoon she did not feel we'll and
remained at hume. A physician was
summoned and it soon developed that
she had scarlet fever in its most vir-
