left side, that is all. Most peoples
hair does grow faster on that side,
but it is on children's heads that we
are most likely to notice it."

TO BEGIN GRADING ON
j. P. right OF way

Tacoma, Nov. 16.-Dibble & Haw-
thorne, of this city, who have con-
tracts for a large amount of the grad
ing of the Union Pacific right-of-way,
will have crews of men at work grad
ing in the southern end of the city
within the next ten days. The grad
ing will begin at the approaches of
the proposed Union Pacific tunnel to
be bored underneath the CITY, Nearly
100 teams are now congregated in a
large camp at the end of Center street.
This same firm of contractors has been
working a force of men on Union Pa
cific right-of-way in the country near
Chehalis.
Engineering crews here are hard at
work sinking shafts and making care
full tests of the strata Of earth which
will be encountered in the boring of
the tunnel. It has been announced
by the engineering department of the
road that work on this tunnel will be-
gin by December 1, but the test shafts
reveal the presence of water in such
large and unexpected quantities that
some elaborate plan of getting rid of
it may have to be worked out and de-
lay the commencement of the work for
a week or SO.

FISH PuRsUEs HARTMAN.

Former President of Illinois Central
Asks More Proxies.
New York, Nov. 16.-Intimating that
E. H. Hartman purposes to prolong
the adjournment of the meeting of the
Illinois Central Railroad until he can
catch Stuyvesant Fish with proxies ex-
pired and then outvote him, Mr.. Fish
today issued a new form of proxy,
covering all possible adjournments
and asked friends to sign it. He also
mailed to all stockholders a copy LOT
the interstate commerce report in
which Hartman is scored, to show
what Hartman intends to do with the
road if he gets it.
1T is significant" says Mr.. Fish,
that up to this date, no effort has
been made by the Union Pacific to
dissolve the injunction rs to its hold
ing or that of the Railroad Securities
Company, although the Mutual Life
Insurance Company with a relative un-
important holding of $500 shares has
been asked to be relieved of the re-
straint. This motion does not involve
the main issue, as the case turns upon
fundamentally different questions Of
law and of fact from those involved in
the cases of the Union Pacific and the
Railroad Securities Company.
Mr. Hartman stands for the en-
quilting of our company in the wide
control by him Of transportation in
this country through the instrumental
ity OF the Union Pacific Railroad Com
pany."
The meeting for which proxies are
desired will be held on December IS
in Chicago.

GOVERNORS TO DISCUSS
IMPORTANT QUESTIONS

Washington, Nov. 49, President
Roosevelt has invited the governors
of states and territories to meet him
at the White House May Is, IA and
Is next, to discuss the Means, to con-
serve the natural resources of the
country" Invitations are to be ex-
tended to the members of both houses
of Congress and to the in land wat
erways commission. The Importance
and manner in which the subject is
to be considered are indicated in the
presidents letter to the governors,
which was made public at the White
House yesterday. The letter says in
part:
TT is evident that the abundant nat
ural resources on which the welfare of
this nation rests are becoming de-
pleted, and in not a few cases are
already exhausted. This is true of
all portions of the United States, it is
especially true of the longer settled
communities of the East. The gray
ity of the situation must, l believe,
appeal with special force to the gov
|ernors of the states, because of their
close relations to the people and their
responsibility for the welfare of their
communities. The matters to be con-
sidered at this conference are not con-
fined to any region or group of states,
but are of vital concern to the nation
as whole and to all the people.
These subjects include the use and
conservation of the mineral resources,
the resources of the land and the re-
sources of the waters in every part of
our territory.
I'm order to open discussion, I shall
invite few recognized authorities to
present brief descriptions of actual
facts and conditions. without argument,
leaving the conference to deal with
each topic as it may elect"

Identity Must Be Established When
Crossing Boundary.
New Westminster, B. c., Nov. H.
A recent action on the part Of Gus
toms officer stationed on the border
line between Canada and the United
States, which involved the destruction
of two valuable sealskin coats, has
caused considerable CONSERVATION
among travellers. 1t appears that seal
skin coats, jackets, capes, hats, or
seal skins in any other form, cannot
be taken across the line unless the
owner is able to produce an affidavit
to the effect that the seals from which
the article is made were captured be-
fore December 20, 1897, or else taken
since in unprecedented waters.
Failure to produce the declaration,
which must, in compliance with the
law, be signed by the American con-
sui, will result in the confiscation and
destruction of the garment. No COM
pensation will be given for the article
destroyed. Furs to the value of sew
eral hundred dollars have been de-
strOyed during the past month, and,
in spite of many protests, the officials
continue in their line of action.
In the digest of circular instruc-
tons issued to the United States Off
Gals appears the following, which
deals with this particular matter:
''The law expressly forbids the i'm
portation into the United States of
garments made, in whole or in part of
the skins of prohibited fur seals,~ and
unless the owner is able to establish,
by competent evidence, and to the sat
isfaction of the collector, either that
the garments were purchased prior to
December 20, 1897, or that the animal
from which the skin was taken was
captured elsewhere than in prohibited
waters, entry will not be allowed. Res
idents who desire to take sealskin
garments abroad may have the same
registered with the collector
The law on which the above instruc-
lions applying to the importation of
sealskins into the United States are
based is very plain.

DIVORCE DECISION.

hesldents Under nan Here.
olympia, Nov. ia person Al.
sorced In Seattle or elsewhere In the
.a.e may contract legal marriage
at Victoria the next day despite the
SIX months prohibition in the divorce
decree, says the supreme court IN de.
ciding the bigamy case from Pierce
county OF the state against Elizahatb
Uiark-Fenn. But the court points out
mat 70 make the wedding legal the
parties must change their residence
from this state and not make the trin
across the line simply to avoid the
state laws.
The woman was divorced from I'd
ward hodges in King county in Febru-
airy, 1901. Ten days later she went to
victoria and there married joseph
clark and lived with him until Janu-
airy, 1907. NThen she married Arthur
rem at Tacoma. She was arrested
on a bigamy charge and on demurrer
70 the information she contended her
marriage to- Clark was void. having
Deen contracted within the six months
period prohibited by the divorce de-
cree and state laws. The lower court
sustained her demurrer, and the state
appealed.
Inc supreme court says: IF the par
ties to the Victoria marriage had their
domlcile in this state at the time the
marriage was contracted and went to
Victoria for the purpose of evading our
laws, and thereafter returning to this
state, such marriage is null and void,
and much as we regret it the prose
cution must fail.
III, on the other hand, the parties
to the Victoria marriage were domi-
ciled there at the time the marriage
was contracted, such marriage does
not fail within the prohibition of our
statute and is valid"
AS the record on appeal does not set
tie which of these facts applies to
this case the supreme court reverses
the lower court and sends the case
back for further proceedings not in
consistent with this opinion" That is
ii she can prove she really did not
change her place of residence to Vic
toria and went there to be married
simply to avoid the law, she will
escape punishment; otherwise she will
probably have to face sentence for
bigamy.
