DUNCAN SUSTAINED
 IN CONTENTION
COUNCIL COMMITTEES HOLD THAT BACTERIoLOGIST SHALL MAKE REPORTS TO THE MAYOR AS IN THE PAST.

At a joint meeting of the market and sanitation committees of the City Coun- cl, held yesterday afternoon, the differ ences between Dr. Hardness, city health officer, and pr. E. M Duncan, city bac- teriologist, were thoroughly discussed, and the result was quite complimentary to pr. Duncan
 The committee trampled down in no tender manner the effort of the health department to assume control of the bao- teriologst. and left Dr. Hardness to per form only the duties to which he was elected
 The difference between these two de- partments was minor parallel of the greater one which is going on in the city hall. One faction assumed authority, then tried to hold 1t by appealing to the higher body, and now it Is turned down, and busted, as it were.
 The difficulty began last summer when Dr. Hardness closed up the Glen Iris dairy without mentioning the matter to Duncan, or Investigating the tests made by the bacterologlst. Duncan offered no opJectlons, put when, several weeks ldtef, Hardness went to him for advice, Dun can told him that he had his foot in the mud and could get it out alone.
 Since the health department was de- feated. in the Glen Iris matter, it has made every effort to gain control of the baeterologlst. An ordinance was drawn up defining the duties of Dr. Duncan and forcing him to make weekly reports to Hardness When the council committee to which 1t was referred took the mat ter mp yesterday, 1t declared that the re- ports should be made to the Mayor as heretofore and Duncan should remain at the head of his department.

The glass in both ends of the car was broken and particles flew in every diree- tion. One passenger. whose name was not learned, suffered a badly cut hand. After some time the car was raised again to the track, some repairing done and operation resumed It was fortunate that the accident happened beyond Five Points, as at that place and the avenues just below the heavily laden car was unloaded The South Highlands cars were very busy yesterday afternoon.

WOMEN CLAM DiGGERS
DOING THE WORK OF MEN
Have Separate Camp Near McGregor
and Make Success of the
Enterprise.

An interesting state of affairs exists
at Yellow river, point on the Missic-
sippi about three miles of McGregor,
where there is camp of women clam
diggers. The daughters of the Mis-
sissippi are entirely separated from the
men who have a camp near them, and
are not, as many think upon first see
ing them. the wives of the clam dig
gers. They have been there for the
past five years and conduct their ope:-
ations entirely independently.
The youngest of the small colony is
but seventeen years old. Those who
have watched them work say that it is
simply wonderful TO see the way the
women handle the heavy lines, nevs-
finding it necessary to call for help
from the men at any time.
Constant exposure to the sun has
made them brown as berries and their
arms and throats where their rough
dresses are turned back, are tanned to
a dark hue 1t is said by those fami,-
lar with the workings of the clam dig
gers camp that the women are eS-
perts at the business and records show
that they have taken out as many valu-
able pearls as all the men in the vi
cinity combined.
The women live in cabins on the
bank of the Mississippi and have an
old woman who cooks and does the
housekeeping for them. The female
workers are well fixed and have A
launch of their own and all the con
veniences necessary to their work.
