Dan Kleinman always has a few horses for relay races. and events of that kind, and this year will show a sorrel horse that he thinks can show all of them a clean pair of heels. in its class of course. Isaac Sachs owns the runner that goes by the name of Carrie Nation II, and is con- fident that a hatchet will not be need ed to enable his nag to carry off some of the good money. Commodore Pas sey, the jockey, has entered a bay mare that he says is not as fast as some horses in the world. but he feels that she is too good girl to leave out of the running. That man Passey somes about as near telling yhat a horse can do as anybody. and it will be a good thing to keep an eye on anything he enters. There will also be Mesa carriage horses. Mesa stall lions and Mesa riding horses at the fair

FREEM MASONRY.

Fable and imagination have traced back the origin of F'reemasonry to the Roman Empire, to the Pharaohs, the Temple of Solomon, the Tower of Babel. and even to the building of Noah's Ark In reality it took its rise in the middle ages along with other in corporated crafts. Skilled masons moved from place to place to assist in building the magnificent structures cathedrals. abbeys, etc.-which had their origin in these times. and it was essential for them to have some signs by which, on coming to strange place. they could be recognized as real craftsmen and not impostors. Free masonry in it's modified, more modern form dates onl- from the seventeenth century The modern ritual iS said to have been partly borrowed from the ROsicrucians and Knights Templar. and partly devised by Elias Ashmole. the founder of the AshmOlean Museum. In 1725 it was introduced into France by Lord Derwenwater, and in 1133 the first American lodge was established.

ALL WENT TO THE CIRCUS.

Four heavily loaded trains pulled out of Mesa on Monday for the circus. There was talk that there would be light attendance from this section this year. but it proved to be talk only. Mesa people. like the rest of the world, like good circus. and they all went. The old man. the young man, the mother, sister and the small chil- dren. Some even took the baby. Standing room only was the rule on the trains. One wonders why the railroad can not furnish more cars. when it is a certainty that they will be needed.

MIKADO WAS COOL.

Apropos of the recent news from
Jamaica, as well as of the stolidity and
impassiyeness of the Japanese charac-
ter, Professor Milne, the earthquake
specialist tells a story which has to
do with Mutsuhito himself; it might be
called The Emperor and the Amateur
Earthquake The professor was, al
the time. in Japan, studying those in,
FAINT earth tremors which are of almost
daily occurrence in parts of the islands.
and his observations, as recorded on
his seismograph, had greatly interested
certain native scientists, who carried
to their monarch word of what this
Englishman was doing. Then Mat.
suhito asked to see the seismograph

So DR.. Milne rented a large piece of
waste ground, erected on it houses and
towers, mined the whole with dyna-
mite, and then, at a safe distance. set

SINKING LAND.

A strip of land beginning about
eight miles east of Lake Michigan, at
the termination of the watershed and
the northern limits of region of low
swamp land, which has already cost
three railroad companies hundreds or
thousands of dollars, has begun to
drop more than ever. The depression
is over 1000 feet wide, and runs north
and south through Lake County, In
diana.
The latest downward movement Of
this mysterious sink-hole was observed
only a few days ago by employees of
the Erie Railroad at the point where
that line crosses the strip. Hundreds
of thousands of tons of dirt and gravel
have been dumped into the crevice,
which runs a distance of twenty feet
on either side of the track, but the de-
preston is now lower than ever and
still continues to grow deeper, a fact
which utterly battles the egineering
department of the road.
The Panhandle and Indiana Harbor
railroads have also suffered from this
bottomless pit, the influence of which
apparently reaches about fifteen miles
| north and south. 1t is stated by an
engineer of the Indiana Harbor road
that since they have erected a fifteen
foot embankment across the strip the
| tracks have not sunk, although depres-
sions have been noticed in the low
land surrounding for a distance of 1000
feet.
The sinking of the earth at this point
seems to be an annual event, and has
occurred about this time of year since
the first railroad line pierced the ter
ritory nearly twenty-five years ago.
1t is the general belief by engineers
that some subterranean cataclysm
takes place in December which weak
ems the crust and causes it to sink
under the weight of the heavy traffic
, passing over it. So serious is the con-
dition of the place at the time that
trains are compelled greatly to re-
duce their speed in traversing this
| mysterious strip of land.

Report To
Governor

The Superintendent of Public Works
reports that the interior of the wash
room is regularly scrubbed out, but in
spite of this, it is almost impossible to
keep the buildings in thoroughly sani-
tary condition due to method of wash
ing clothes, adopted by the Chinese;
previous to being put into a boiler,
each garment, after being soaped, is
twisted into shape similar to that of a
rope, then swung in the air and thrust
against table top, which operation
results in suds and filth being deposited
about the walls and ceilings, leaving
the several apartments in very UNI
clean1y condition.
This statement is on page 199 of
the report of Superintendent Hollo-
way and refers to the wash house used
by Chinese laundrymen. The con-
ditions at the Government wash houses
are evidently bad. AT the Hartman
Steam Laundry the cement floors are
as sanitary as can be made and there
is no sign of filth anywhere in the build
ing. An inspection of the premises and
the method of washing is invited.
