Detective Photography

SOME years ago the Argentine authorities

Buenos Ayres were receiving gems through
the mails The police and postoffice officials
were at first in some difficulty as how to pro-
coed to secure the evidence necessary to pro-
coed against the suspects Under the Argen-
tine regulations mail matter IN transit could
not be legally opened so it was decided to en-
list the aid of the ray BY this means some
seventy registered letters and parcels were
examined disclosing the fact that they con-

Wasps and Hornets in Winter

EVERYBODY is familiar with the big gray
paper nests which wasps and hornets at
tach to trees and buildings during the summer
Nearly every boy has had some experience with
stirring up the hornets. Late in summer there
are from five hundred to fifteen hundred of
these insects in nest, and all of them are
ready to battle for their home. IN winter,
however, you can take the nest down and ex-
anime its wonderful structure with perfect
safety, for its belligerent builders have en-
tirelv deserted it.
Where have they gomez The males and
workers have scattered and died here and
there on the last autumn flowers but the
queens have concealed themselves in their
winter quarters. The large. bold faced hornets
hide under logs, bark. and caves. The smaller
wasps crawl into crevices of buildings and
rocks. \ professor in western college. not

overhanging cliff. and in the cracks OF the
loosely jointed rock he found thousands OF
wasps benumbed in their winter quarters
With the wasps were found numerous wood
cockroaches and hundreds of their large
diamond shaped egg cases. The cockroaches
had been feeding on the helpless waspS and
the immense number of the remains of both
insects showed that they had resorted to these
same cliffs for many years.

to make raise in order, it is pre-
sumed, to get Henry Dalrymple to
serve. Some of them have thought
the matter over, and talked with a
few of their friends, and they have
been able to think of a number of
men they believe would make good
officers and be glad to have the po-
sition at $75 per month.
Councilman Phelps is the leader
in opposition to the measure, and
he backs up his opposition with con-
vincing argument. In Rexburg, he
says, the policeman is only paid $45
per month, and it is larger town
than this.
"The city is so poor we cannot
buy the paint to paint the JOINTS for
the new laterals," he says, "and yet
we ale adding an expense of three
hundred dollars per year IN order to
get Mr.. Dalrymple to take job Of
chief of police"
The work of Ed French, while in
Office, was eminentlY satisfactory to
the council and the fact that he was
| willing to take the Office at $75 per
month rather sticks in their craw
when they CONSIDER 1t. They are
convinced that he would have filled

the Bloomington boys. This seemed to
be the main trouble when, they were
talking fight, and aa soon as they had
an understanding, there was nothing to

SOLUTION is NOT
SATISFACTORY YET
Mayors Plan TO Increase Salaries of Po-
lice Regarded by Council as Scheme
to Keep Dalrymple In Office.

When the council adjourned their
Saturday nights meeting it was be-
heved that the police question was
definitely settled. Later deyelop-
ments. however, make 1t an open
question, and indicate that the con-
test between the mayor and council
on this question is not at an end yet.
The solution offered by Mayor
Cruikshank Saturday night, was to
raise the salary of the chief of police
to 500, and the salary OF the night
policeman to $40. He explained
that it Is not possible TO get good
man to take the positions at the
present salaries, and insisted that
with this salary to offer the city
would no longer have any trouble
getting the type of men they wanted
to FIJI these POSITIONS.
The council discussed the question
\
at some length, J. M. Phelps oppos.
ing the measure. When vote was
taken, the council ordered the ordln.
ance committee to draft an ordin
ance providing for this raise in the
salaries. When this was passed,
Mayor Cruikshank stated that thu
appointments would remain as they
now stood, as he felt Mr.. Dalrympl,
would be willing to serve for thi
salary.
At the regular meeting of th'
council next Thursday evening tn,
ordinance will be presented to tn
council, for the first reading.
i While there was general oplniol
at that time that the ordinanc
would be readily passed, probabl

this community. AS nearly as can
be estimated the expense Of chipping
car of phosphate per day is $4,000
per. month.
This is mostly for labor, and all
for material and labor secured right
in this community. 1t means the
circulation of $3, per month, of
outside money, which does not come
here when the mines are idle. Aside
from this expense it also means an
approximate expenditure Of $4,000
in freight charges per month.
The company does not know yet
just how long they will continue
their operations, but will operate
just as long as the demand for their
product is sufficient to warrant.
They now have orders placed, at
prices that enable them to ship,
which it will take them between
four and five months to fill at the
rate of one carload per day. 1t is
probable that other orders will be
secured as soon as these are filed,
and that the work will continue fol
even longer than that.

with happiness.
Refreshments were served at
midnight, consisting of hot cof-
fee, cake. apples, oranges, and
candies of all kinds. To say the
viands We're delicious would lie
putting it too mildly. We would
simply have to search the die
tionary to find a suitable defini-
ton for the luscious cake served.
The floor was waXed to an icy
smoothness. The music was
grand, consisting of piano, gui-
tar, and violin, manipulated by
good musicians.
The evening was ideal. A
cool breeze blowing gently made
the dancing a dream of pleasure.
The moon flooded the earth with
a brilliancy almost like day. The
hour so bewitiching the revelry
was extended to the wee small
hours of the morn, when the
sweet enhancing strains of the
Home Sweet Home Waltz fioated
over the crowd they dispersed,
weary but happy.
