room in the Office and making it much
more convenient for the distribution
of the mail. In addition to doing
this work. Mr.. Terry extinguished

MIR. Martin has been working his

roadway is becoming the pride,
not only Of our own parish, but
the state as we'll.

With Spoiled Fowls

OAKLAND. Nov. 26.-Three thousand
pounds of spoiled turkeys. which were
shipped from San Francisco to Oakland
under cover of darkness Thanksgiving
eve and placed on sale at stalls in the
free market, were seized and burned by
inspectors of the health department.
soon after their arrival in this city
From the clandestine methods adopted
by the men who shipped the turkeys
into Oakland the health officials have
concluded that there was a conspiracy
to dump a lot of turkeys on the Oak
land market which could not be sold in
San Francisco.
The dealers who handled the fowls
here offered them for sale at a fat rate
of 81 each, but only a small number of
them were sold before the inspectors
took charge of the lot, covered the tur-
keys with kerosene and destroyed them
