Sneezina as an Art.

Yesterday" said the pretty girl Il
met a sneezing teacher / don't mean
teacher who sneezes, but person
who teaches other people how to
sneeze. l had always understood that
New York attracts instructors in every
art known to modern education, but a
professor of sneezing struck me as a
decided novelty.
Il am going to take few lessons
The professor argues that he is very
useful member of society. Nobody, he
claims, can prevent sneezing, no mat
ter how many formulas and medical
ments may be absorbed. But though
a sneeze may not be avoided it may
be cultivated and from a stertorous
snort it may be modified into a gentle,
melodious trill. For anybody who is
likely to startle the neighborhood with
freqent sneezes the experiment is well
worth while

CALIFORNIA STATE
UNION HELD SESSION

The California State Union of the
Western Federation of Miners met in
Angels Miners Union hall during
the past week, this being the first
annual convention. One delegate
from each local union in the state
was presents also the president, vice.
president, secretary treasurer and six
mem bers of the executive board.
lt was thought the efforts of the
state union. assisted by the western
federation of miners and other bodies
OF organized labor, that the eight
hour mining bill was introduced at
the last session of the Legislature and
signed by the governor.
One of the questions coming before
this convention was the eight hour
bill and just what 1t meant. 1t was
brought out during the discussion
that il the men we're to accept the
Interpretation of the mine operators,
many of the employees would have to
work eight sud one-half and nine
hours underground, not including
the time for lunch.
In regard to the eight hour law the
following resolution was adopted :;
Resolved: That the hours OF work
for the men employed in under
ground mines, smelters and reduction
works start when the whistle blows
or the bell rings and work eight
hours, excluding intermission of time
tor lunch or meals. lime begins
when the men start underground and
ceases when they leave their place Of
work.
The policy of the union is that ip
cases of grievances it would he best
for a committee to meet with the
operators and have a talk, so that all
petty troubles would be settled and
that the operators should be willing
10 meet with such committee. -

TAFT RESTORING
LAND FOR ENTRY

lt may be stated on high authority
that tthe president is convinced, as a
lawyer, that the wholesale with
drawals Of land In the far west, made
by order of president Roosevelt, with
a view to furthering bis conservation
policy, we're made without warrant of
law, and consequently that the recent
restorations of parts of that land to
public entry by secretary Ballinger
has the presidents approval.
Mr. taft has gone over the legal
phases of the matter with great care,
and satisfied himself that the presi-
dent, while clothed with authority
to Withdraw public lands from entry,
has not as free hand in that matter
as Mr. Roosevelt took.
There is also authority for saying
that the president believes there has
been much exaggeration of the
danger that the waterpower trust
possesses such detailed information
as to the location of water-power
sites in the mountain states as to
enable it to gobble up the sites on
the restored lands before the geologi.
cal survey can have time to locate
them tor withdrawal, under future
act OF congress.
The lands in question are already
restored to entry, and some time
must necessarily elapse before the
geological survey, although its Gu
giLeers are already in the field for
that purpose, can made surveys of
the water-power sites and do the
other things that will be necessary
before the government can interfere
to save those sites for the public use.
The fear, in the minds of reclama
tion and geological survey officials,
has been that the water-power trust
does in fact possess just such in
formation as the president is inclined
to hold they do not possess. Which
side is right only the future can
detremine.
Clifford Pinchot, chief Of the
forestry bureau, has had several con-
feIences with the president about the
Ballinger restorations. Mr. Pinchot
is said to entertain the liveliest fear
that before the geological survey can
finish it's work the trust will have got
hold of the best sites on the restored
land. Ihe president, however, feels
certain that Mr. Pinchot is unduly
alarmed. As for himself, he feels
that the geological survey engineers
will be fully able to locate these
sites, and that the government, this
being done, will have ample time to
set them apart for public use.

The Eight Hour Law In Force.

On last Sunday N corning the new
eight hour law mining was put in
operation at the several mines and
mills in and around town and every
thing is working just as smoothly as
under the old schedule. The men
come up and go down on their own
time thus giving eight hours work
at whatever point they are employed.
The mill men are the ones most
benefited by the change. as under
this order they gain four hours with
no reduction in pay, as previously
they worked twelve hours.
While the men are all working
here, there is a question as to the
oonstitutionality of the eight hour
law and its exact meaning. In order
to have these points fully determined
the mme owners association have de-
oided to have an arrest made for 4
violation of the law and the case Will
be taken directly from the justice
court to the supreme oourt on writ
OF habeas corpns, so in this way
every point of the law may receive
judicial Interpretation. Angels Re-

that country are often as big as a
mans fist, and their eggs as large as
those OF pigeons. When travelling to-
gether in search of food they produce
sounds that are not unmusical by the
movement of their shells over the

is that when the young ones emerge
from their shells; at the time of
matching, they are fully developed
