DEAD BODIES TURN TO STONE
Peculiar Action of the Soil of Port

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
PORTLAND, Ore, Dec, S.-Bodies
buried in Mount Calvary cemetery turn
to stone within a few years. This
startling discovery has been made by
gravediggers employed in removing
the dead from one part of the cemetery
to another. The body of a well-known
Portland woman who died and was
buried in the cemetery sixteen years
ago was found to have become COM
pletely petrified Though the coffin
and the shroud had crumbled to dust.
the body, in appearance, was un-
changed and the features were plainly
recognizable.
In one other instance body buried
in different part of the halloWed
ground was found to have undergone a
similar alteration. and although at first
the structural change was ascribed to
the action of water seeping into the
soil from a leaking standpire, it is now
admitted that the soil itself possesses
the peculiar property of petrifying
bodies that may be buried in it,

Just when we will be able to turn on
the lights depends on how soon we can
get the material and the labor neces-
sary to do the work. AS fast as we can
secure men they will be put to work on
the job. 1t may take longer than we
anticipate, yet believe that most of the
lights will be ready by New Years."

OBJECT TO THE SITE CHOSEN
Ocean Park Residents Want Municipal
Building in Center of Busi-

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
OCEAN PARK, Dec. S.-EXpressions
of disapproval at the selection of the
site in the Venice Annex tract as a To-
cation for the proposed municipal
building are being heard on every
hand and the indications are that the
city hall will never be built there re-
gardless of the plans of the board of
city trustees.
The Site which was given free to
the city, is in new and growing dis
trict about half a mile back from the
beach at Venice and is probably worth
twice the $4,000 that the city has voted
for municipal building purposes. How
ever, public opinion appears to be de-
cidedly against having the structure
erected i'm any but a central part of
the city and, it is said, influence will
be brought to bear on the board that
may cause it to reconsider it's action in
| the matter
A mild form of protest is expected to
! develop at the citizens mass meeting
at the auditorium next Wednesday
night and may overshadow the stated
object OF the meeting, which is to give
! the community an opportunity to hear
Los Angeles city officials discuss the
consolidation question. 1t is apparent
that a strong sentiment in favor of an
neXation has taken root here during
the past week, which is accounted foI
as offering possible relief from bring
| ing any decided action to bear on the
city hall proposition.
The members of the board still con
tinue to express the opinion that then
action was the only solution to the
problem of a site and point out that
| after more than a year of constant at
| tention to the matter the Venice An
mex location was the only one that
could be aVailed of.

 This property is already developed by a crosscut in a ledge about thirty feet thick, containing several rich pay streaks from which the old company took a great many thousand dollars
 in addition to which Barney Quinn

 to the tunnel level. and will take out all the pay ore in the old workings, while developing the lower levels and drifting along the rich streaks encoun- tered in the tunnel. There are thOus- ands of tons of ore above the tunnel
 which could not be worked profitably before the advent of the railroad that can now be mined, taken to the mill over the tramway and be milled at a handsome profit. Some time this win ter the new company will start a working shaft on the old Bonanza and
 get below the old workings which are now about three hundred feet vertical and have yielded about eight million dollars.

Underwood will play the judge" the role he created when the play was on tour several seasons ago. His friends and admirers will have a chance to see him in a vastly different character from that played by him the first three nights of this week. No greater con- trast could be imagined but there is no doubt of MT Underwood's ability. The play is d flawIess comedy drama. with excellent characters and a plot of the most intense and unfagging inter- est. rising to a natural climax of won dcrful power.
