preparatory to pushing the work of

little sickness in the canal zone during
1907, and there is a steady improve.
ment in this direction. Cleaning up
and keeping clean, with other steps
looking to the safeguarding of health,
have practically eliminated the danger
of disease such as was supposed to be
secular to the locality.

Third Prize, rs 500
The different grains and grasses
should be equal in quantity to an Or
binary bundle and the grains shouts
be striped.
These exhibits must reach Bismarck
no later than August 20, 'O8, and
should be SHIPPED by express so as to
prevent delay. Express charges will

vent the exhibit from becoming damp
or moldy.

ANIMALS LIKED SALT WATER.
Who're Remains Of Extinct Mastodons
Are Most Likely to Be Found.

st. Louis.-"Wherever you find salt
or sulphur springs" says a gentle
man connected with the United States
geological survey, you may expect to
find the bones Of mastodons and other
huge creatures that have now become
extinct.
Many persons suppose that the
presence Of these bones in great num-
bers indicates that the animals had a
sort OF common cemetery. like the
llamas of Chile, which when they felt
death coming on always made for the
nearest stream or pond, and il they
could get there, died in the water.
THAT. however, is likely only a su-
perstititon. The mastodon bones in
a salt or sulphur marsh indicate that
n animals went there to drink the
water and occasionally one got mired
and was s%uirocated. The great num-
Der Of the bones does not prove that
a whole herd Of m%astodons was
drowned at once, but that one being
mired every year or so during several
centuries would in time cause a great
accumulation of bones.

come to all friends of temperance has
come from the Pullman company,
which declares its intention Of per-
hitting the sale of no more liquors
on it's cars after a certain date. The
action, says the Youths Companion,
Is admittedly due to the spread of the
prohibition sentiment and movement
in many states during the past year or
two. Changes in state laws have
made it possible for liquors to be sold
only during small portions Of long
runs, so that the company has decided
to discontinue the sale entirely.
