Federal building.

Congressman Jones has presented
the following to the members of the
committee on public grounds and
buildings in the house:
Dear Sir-I have introduced II. r.
No. 553, providing for the erection OF
a public building at North Yakima,
in the state of Washington. This is
my home town and a site for the
building was appropriated for in the
last public building bill. This site
has been purchased and is now own
ed by the United States. The amount
asked for in the bill is $250,000 ami
the estimate for the construction of
the building, submitted by the treas
ury department, is 1915. 900.
North Yakima is very rapidly
growing city located in most pros
porous section of our state. The
L. S. reclamation service is expend-
ing almost $4,000, 900 in the imme-
date vicinity of this city in govern
ment reclamation works Irrigation
has reached its highest state OF de-
velopment in this immediate section
and the population of the city and
the surrounding country is very rap
idly increasing. The population OF
North Yakima BY the last federal
census was 1854. Its population
now is estimated at 10000. This
rapid growth is shown by the post
office receipts for the last ten years.

San Francisco Has Riser.

'The plain facts about what the peo-
pie of San Francisco have done in
less than two years since the earth
quake and fire, which together de-
stroyed $4,000 buildings, are simply
beyond comprehension among the
people of the East.
There were $4,000 buildings de-
stroyed, worth in the aggregate 81 05,-
100000.
In spite of labor troubles and 4
cloud of all kinds of difficulties,
which would have daunted the people
of most cities. San Francisco within
the short period of twenty-five
months since the disaster has erected
or is now completing 10000 new
buildings, worth Sill, 100000. That
is to say, these new structures repre-
sent $6,O0O,O0O more than the origi-
nal loss; and yet only $5,000,000 Of
the capital necessary for this gigan-
tic work of upbuilding came from
outside of San Francisco.
What Is equally significant, these
10000 buildings have more floor and
room srace for business purposes
than the $4,000 that were destroyed.
The general business conditions in
San Francisco have. of course, been
affected more or less by the recent
panic, as they have everywhere else.
1t is barely possible that in the new
buildings the builders have provided
for too many Offices for the imme-
diate need; but the same thing has
happened in Boston, New York and
other cities. In the process of time
the demand will certainly equal the
supply.-Boston Globe.

TWO WHALES,
A Report on the Internal and EXter.
nal Anatomy.

Something less than year ago we
printed in Forest and Stream an ac-
count of the adventure of two young
men who went down to Amagansett.
L. l., to recover the remains of two
whales (Balaena glacialis.) A report
on the external and internal anat-
omy of these specimens has just been
printed in the Bulletin of the Muse
um of Natural History by Mr.. Roy
G. Andrews, who wrote the account
for Forest and Stream.
The two whales went ashore, one
near the village of Amagansett, the
other near the village of Wainscott
The Amagansett whale, originally re-
ported as measuring fifty-six feet
seven inches from. the tip Of the
snout to the end of the flulie, was
measured by Mr. Andrews after the
fukes had been removed and appears
to have been about fifty-four feet
long, measured from the tip Of the
snout over the back to the notch of
the fukes The Wainscott whale,
measured in a straight line from tip
OF snout to notch of flukes, was forty
feet three inches. The length of the
blowwhole was ten inches in the AM
agansett whale and eight and one
half inches in the Wainscott speci-
men, and the longest whale bone, ey-
Guiding the bristles, was six feet five
inches in the Amagansett specimen.
In the Wainscott whale the color
was everywhere dense ivory black.
with no indication whatever of a
lighter color on the fins or flukes,
and while the Amagansett specimen
was chiefly of the same black. there
were some streaks, patches and spots
of white on the flukes, flippers and in
some other places. While the right
whale is generally an unbroken black,
there is testimony that they are occa-
sionally marked with white below.
Captain ]. B. Edwards speaks of some
that he has seen that had the breast
and throat nearly white, and similar
specimens are noted in the "Whale-
bone Whales of North America"
The eyeball Of the Amagansett
whale measured on the preserved
specimen after the eyeball had been
trimmed of matter which had ad-
hcred to it 3h inches from before
backward and three inches from
above downward The iris is clear
brown, surrounded by a narrow, ir-
regular ring of lighter color. The
pupil is clliptical, its longitudinal di-
ameter being Il inches.
The osteology of the whales is de-
scribed, and figures are given of
many of the bones and of the wrist
with its ossifcations.
1t is interesting to note that the
Amagansett whale exceeds in size the
largest right whale cve- recorded,
and that its examination demon
strates that there is some colo: vari-
alton in the species. Forest and

PEANUT PLANTS.

Five cents worth of roasted pea.
nuts can be made to last long time
If you are not too hungry, but did
you ever think how much longer they
would last If you planted fresh ones?
Try planting few kernels in pot
or box Of loose, mellow earth. Keep
in rather warm place and water
moderately. The kernels will soon
sprout and tho plant grows quickly.
AS the foliage spreads gracefully over
the pot you will be surprised to find
how beautiful the plants are. IN
deed, florists grow them for sale.
They are we'll worth the slight care
they require, and the plant has some

Londirium and describes it as u

tice of Paris is in Caesars Commen-
taries. Caesar called it Lutatia, and
described it us collection of mud
hUts. Lutetia began in the fourth
century to be known as Parisia, or
Paris, and in the sixth century was
selected by Clovis as the seat of gov

is undoubtedly the more ancient,

Australia.

! The first civilized settlement in
Australia was made at Botany Bay in
1898 by some 1890 persons, mostly
convicts. In 1926 Moreton Bay. New
South Wales, was settled. The settle
ment of Western Australia dates
from 1929. Explorations of Austria
liza began in 1915, and have been kept
up at intervals ever since. The great
er part of the interior of the conti-
nent is little better than desert, being
either sand or dense shrub or porcu-
pine bush. In 1875 Giles traversed
territory $500 miles in extent, which
was declared unfit for human habi-
tation." And yet the artesian we'll

tee at Democratic national headoIar-
ters, who is receiving the replies of
the bankers poll with reference to the
guarantee of bank deposits, sad yes
terday:
From the advice we receive upon
the bank guaranty issue and the siren
uous demand for literature upon the
subject, am satisfied that we have at
least produced the greatest cure for
insomnia that the world has ever
known. We are having letters from
depositors who say they have laid
awake nights feeling that the next
morning they would be paupers.
1--WE are receiving letters from bank
ers who say that many a night dur
ing the past year they would have
given $4,000 for a guaranty law for
thirty days. The peril that hangs over
the banker in every little panic is
that without a moments warning, a
run may be made upon the bank
caused by the failure of some banking
institution perhaps in some other city

there will be less demand for special
lists who cure nervous prostration and
who advertise balms for the sleep

PROH|'S ARE
HOPEFUL

Chicago, Oct. 23.-When the returns
of the general election are read two
weeks from now the prohibition party
leaders will be nightly surprised as
well as disappointed If the figures fail
to show great gains for their cause
from one end of the country to the
other. The campaign that is being
directed from the prohibition national
headquarters in this city is by far the
most active and extensive in the his
tory of the party. 1t is an interesting
fact that, while the committees of both
the Republican and Democratic parties
have been handicapped during the
present campaign by lack Of funds, the
prohibition campaign fund has been
little larger than in former years.
This is easily understood when it is
borne in mind that the prohibitionists
and the other minol parties as well
have always had to depend upon con-
tributions from individuals and not
from corporations and men of great
wealth. At the same time the prohibi-
ton campaign committee declares it.
self in need of more funds. This is
illustrated by the recent statement Of
Eugene W. Chafin, the candidate for
president, that if the prohibitionists
had $4,000 to spend they could carry
he state of Georgia in the presideu-
al election.
The activity of the prohibitionists
the national campaign has found a
reflection in many states and 1t is
predicted that in some of them the
prohibition ticket will cut quite fig
ure in the result of the election for
named tickets in more than ha'f of
the states where state officers are to
be elected week after next.

There is considerable evidence to
prove that the fire was of incendiary
origin. A hole was found cut in the
wall of the building through which an
arm might easily pass, and small
hole was punched in a coal oil can
which was placed near the wall, the
oil thoroughly saturating the floor.
The fire was started in that part of
the store.
About two weeks ago two attempts
were made in one night to burn Folks
