SEAGULLS OF SHETLAND.

Up e little lane of Lerwick's one street there is a garden. At least it is an enclosed space. In the middle of this space is a tree. It Is rot a very tall tree; you could. in fact, toss a biscuit over its branches. bnt still 1t is a tree-the only tree in ShetlGrI. And Shetland is proud of 1t. Chil- dren who are brought for the tirst time to see the wonders of one street. cd Lerwick are shown this tree. This is not fiction. It Is the only tree in Shetland.
 As there are no trees in Shetland. there are no birds. except. of course. the seagulls. which you can number by the thousand. The seagulls are the sparrows of Lerwick. and as such they have a greater share in the towns life than have the sparrows of London. In the morning time you will note that a seagull sits on every chimney pot. Seagulls hover over every roof in the town.
 The air Is full of their strange. high plaInsive, haunting cries. Their sad. shrill. long drawn cries are to Ter wick as the chattering of sparrows or the cawing of rocks are tO us in Eng land. Every house has its own fa- miIiar seagulls and every street it's own band of seagulls. They never mix. The children in each house have pet names for their own particular seagulls and. having called them by those names. they feed them every day. And each seagull knows what is meant for him.
 No seaguII attached to one house ever seeks to eat the food scattered from the house next door. He does not dare. the other guIls would Kill him. So all day long the seagulls hover and call over the roofs of Ter wick. The people of the town. if they come scrcss a little pile of rice laid upon the roadway. step over 1t win care. They know that 1t is placed there for some seazull And at night the sea-ulls leave their own appoint cd chimney pots and fly gracefully away tO their resting places on the rocks sf the Isle of N0ss.-Lonion Express.

MAYOR THOMS ISSUES A VETO
Thinks the Tax Rate is Too High and Would Cut Some of e
 Appropriations For the Schools.

partments on the mater of appropri- ations will be available for your hon. orable board at your request. and the various administrative boards and
 myself will be glad at any time to give such information concerning the needs of the city as we may possess. am firmly of the opinion that by getting together and discussing im- portant matters of policy, we can work more harmoniously and accom- plish better results than in any other way.
 For the reasons above set forth [ approve the vote adopting the re- sources and appropriations for 1907 as passed by your honorable board on December 19. 1906. except
 Item AZ, Webster school. 100000 Item AS, Bank street school 6,500.0O Item 49, land for addition
 to high school ...... 15,000.0O Item 50, land for addition
 to Webster school ... 600.00 Item 61. completion of
 Mulcahy school ...... 5.ooo.oo Item 55. additional school
 accommodations in the
 Driggs district ....... 100000 which appropriations are disapproved, in the hope that some way may be found to eliminate or reduce some of these items.
 For similar reasons that portion of your vote fixing the tax rate at 3.6 mills for the first taxation district Is approved. and so much of your vote as fixes the tax rate for meeting the burdens and expenses of the second taxation district outside of the sums required for the support and main tenance of the schools. is also ap- proved. The remainder of your vote fixing the tax rate for 1907 Is disap- proved.
 Just what action the aldermen will take on the communication Is mat- ter of conjecture, some claiming that the majority will not try to get ten votes to stand for the levy of fifteen mills agreed to Wednesday night, while others say that the republicans will make fight to turn down the mayor and that they will not have any trouble in getting at least two VI, AC uGiuUCHuto tO uciR luclu OO lts This may be true, but one thing is certain, anyway, whether they are right or wrong, the school board is getting knocked and nearly everybody you meet says he thinks 1t would be no mistake to hold them up for a while even though 1t might be found necessary to build two schools in the following year. In any case 1t is an scrap and shows what tho taxpayers will soon be up against. With the sewage disposal, paving bonds and high water service which the city will have on It's hands from now on, to say nothing of growing demands in every other direction It ought to be plain to all that the full taxation district lines will have to be extended if the intention Is not to bankrupt those on the inside. If this is not done very soon folks on the in- side will have to get outside and tho change will not be of their own voll- ton.

ton has ever been so well plan

the influence of this low under
current of thought originated by

Butinsky tribe. Social happiness,
pride, property have been ruined
by the combination. Yet it exists
untrammeled and finds a respect
full place in society. For this
r3ason it is more effective. The

thus the dirty work goes on.
Blackmailing has had its day and
is now only branch of the bus

but being disgruntled is
only an aid-de-camp in the great

wrecks enterprises and menases
society in every respect.
Full many an enterprise would

THE FOURTH.

The Fourth was ushered in
Wednesday morning at sunrise
by the FREEING of salutes. and at
1890 the Brass Band met at the
postofice and started the ball
rolling by playing national selec-
tions; from there they marched
to the hall where the exercises
took place. Judge VIM. Orr
presided, and in that happy vein
of his made the opening address
and introduced the parties who
participate in rendering the
various selections. The pro-
gramme as appeared in last
weeks issue was carried out.
The singing by chorus was
very good, the Rotations by
Dorthy Price and Mamie Orr
were very nicely executed; the
reading of Declaration of In
dependence was in good voicesby
Mr.. Geo. Arborgast; Mr.. Chas.
Horsey, our District Attorney
gave a most excellent grafton.
The exercises were concluded al
IL o'clock, and after enjoying
lunch all repaired to Lacour
streets where the games and
sports made the afternoon pass
very pleasantly, foot races, egg
races, wheel barrow, naildriving
contest, relay races and pony
races constituted the major por.
ton of the sports. In the even.
ing the dance at the hall was
we'll attended, the hall in fact
being crowded, the music being
much better than we have had
for some time, and this was due
to the leader Mr.. M. D. Quacken.
bush, a fine violinist, who took
up his residence here having
taken charge of the barber shop.
We trust that he will find his
work so profitable here that he
will decide to remain.
While many contributed ii
many ways to make the fourth {
success much credit is due t.
Mr.. Ed. Prudential who looked
after the major portion anC
directed the work, as well as TAX
ing charge of the dance.

BRISTOL MINES.

On July LIST the lease of Lloyd
& Christian on the Bristol mines
expired and everything was shut
down temporarily, or atleast until
new Bristol Mining Smelter Cor
poration complete their arrange
ments to- work the property.
During the life Of the lease there
have been a great many tons of
low grade ore hoisted to the top
and there yet remains several
hundred tons of high grade on
the dump ready to ship. In the
bottom Of the VIM the last
work performed by the leasers
ore was taken on: to the last
minute running 40 per cent
copper and over 1000 OF silver
per ton. In view of this fact it
is refreshing to note this is an
other instance in which common
sense and practical knowledge
has prevailed successfully over
technical imagination. Before
this property was let to leasers it
was turned down by every
yellow-leg who visited it. AS it
is now investors are even quar-
reling over getting a foot hold
there.
