bills to be examined, but uniformly the
IL shortage was there to puzzle the in
vestigator. 1t is much regretted that
there were no bills OF greater denomi-
nation ON hand with which to pursue
the investigations further. The re-
suits arrived at differ SO radically from
those announced by the government
scientists that they may be discredited
in some quarters. 1t is admitted that
the mathematical precision with which
they seemed to run to certain fixed
but remarkable ends is high tax on
credulity. In their defense it can only
be said that facts are facts. 1t may
also be pointed out that it is likewise
rather unaccountable how there hap
pened to be. eyen,' ninety-two million
microbes on dollar bill examined be-
fore Representative Wiley, while ar
guing before the house subcommittee
on banking and currency.
BY careful calculation it was esti-
mated that The Leaders stock of
money on hand vas harboring the
enormous number of 9l3. 3S5, 1858, O00,-
600, 600, 900 and some odd micro-organ-
isms. Technical knowledge was lack
ing by which to determine what pro-
portion of them was harmful; but it
was easy to detect a wide range of
eruptive disorders, believed to run all
the way from smallpox to eczema.
How to get rid of them and still retain
the money was vexing problem. In
an exchange had been seen an item
saying that the ordinary process of
ironing is sure death to microbes; so
it was resolved to act on the hint. The
experiment was entirely successful.
The andirons were got going and, al
though on account of the large mum Der
of 81 bills the job was q tedious one, it
was finally finished and the paper is
new happy in the knowledge that its
treasury is no longer menace to the
public health. The renovated bills
have all been packed in screw-top po-
tato cans, where it is believed they
will be safe from future infection.

The reason there are no more sensa-
tional gold strikes recorded in The
Leader this week is because the office
force has been busy ironing the estab-
lishment's money.
This apologize admission makes fur
Their explanation necessary. The case
is this way:
In late papers received from the
Outside is an account of the discovery
by scientists of the agricultural depart
ment that paper money has become a
refuge for the most dangerous disease
germs known to the bacteriologist. On
a single 81 bill no less than $4,000, 600
living Heterogeneous were counted.
Among them were the bacteria of
smallpox, scarlet fever, typhoid fever,
tuberculosis and diphtheria. The ac-
count stated that the dollar bills are
the worst from sanitary point OF
view-the larger the bill the fewer the
bacteria, being the rule. This asser-
tion has been verified.
There is probably no place in the
world where the aggregate capital con-
tains 30 large percentage of ST. bills as
Tanana. Recognizing the danger, an
investigation was at once begun. and
the result was startling and, from u
scientific view, curious.
Numerous 81 bills were taken from IA
wallet containing several thousand
bills ranging in denomination up to
800, and in appearance from the new
crisp notes just sent out by the war
department to the worn and himsy
relics of the jackpots and associated
evils of the days before the reforma-
ton. The 81 bills, in turn spread on
the imposing stone and scrutinized
through microscope, were each found
to be inhabited by $4,000, 900 microbes,
the state of wear and tear making no
difference in the number of organisms.
AS was stated, scientist of the depart
ment of agriculture claimed to have
found 100000 on a dollar bill: he
may have had stronger glass. Be-
tween the government data and our
own the public can make it's own dis
examinations.
Next a number of S. bills were ex-
amined: each one was possessed by
100000 germs. The sl0's had 9,000,-
900, the s2O's 1850, 900, the s5o's $780,
600. and the SlOO'S 49, $50. The remark
able fact is here presented that the
number of microbes living on a bill
was in exact adverse ratio to the face
value of the same-with the exception
of the case of the 800 bills, where
in every instance the number fell just
IL short of maintaining the proportion.
This departure from the prevailing
rule caused large number of 800

CORONER WILL PROBE

SEATTLE, March S.-As soon as all the bodies have been extricated from the avalanche debris at Wellington, Coroner Snyder will hold a searching inquest to discover the cause of the disaster.
 The guests at Scenic hotel will be asked to testify concerning the state ment that the Great Northern permitted forest fires to rage on the mountain sides last summer without making an effort to extinguish them. The fires, it is alleged, destroyed the growth which in past years has prevented snowslides.
 The coroner will inquire into the statement that on February 2S meet ing of passengers held with representa-, tives of the Great Northern asked that guides be sent to take the passengers down the mountain.
 All the passengers who attended the meeting are dead except Henry White, travelling salesman. Trainmaster A. R. Blackburn, who is said to have re fused to seend workmen to guide the passengers, was killed by the ava lanche.

Two Bunches of Dimples to Be Given Away in Globe
 Tomorrow Night
Who wants a baby?

W no WdnIS udDy
 Are there two homes in this city which have never been gladdened by the artless laugh of dimpled, bright. eyed youngster and the batter of lit tie feet or cooing of tiny voicel
 There are two healthy little young sters in this city who want homes. They can t ask for them, for they have not as yet reached the stage where asking can be manifested except by the custo- mary intuitive means known to every baby, but the Salvation Army is ask ing for homes for the little ones and they will be given to someone on Thursday night.
 This is not a josh, but simply an at tempt on the part of the big hearted officers of the Salvation army to find homes for two little unfortunates who have no homes of their own.
 They are bright youngsters, too, the little ones who will have new parents after tomorrow night. They should make any babyless home happy and they should have no trouble in finding just such homes as they are capable of making happy.
 Brigadier General Wood of Fl Paso will be in charge of the special meet ing at the army hall, at which the babies will be given into ne whomes. He will conduct services both tonight and tomorrow night and as he has the reputation of being a magnetic speaker, both meetings promise to be largely at tended
 If you have soft spot in your heart for babies, if you want a rosy checked yOungster in your home, don forget the meeting tomorrow night, for two homes in Globe will be gladdened on that occasion and two homeless babies will cease to be orphans.
 Will one of them be your baby?

les visitors are making the trip for the purpose of promoting their business interests and will spend much of their time with local business men. Others will desire to visit the mining dstrict and ample provision will be made for their entertainment.
 It is practically assured that every automobile in this city will be donated for the use of the visitors. If rigs are necessary, they will be on hand, as Dick Barclay has offered to donate his entire livery outfit, if necessary.
 While the official itinerary of the Los Angeles visitors calls for a stop of but four hours in this city, the itinerary also calls for stops of one hour each at Bowie and Benson. It is believed that these two stops can be cut out entirely or practically dispensed with and this time given to visit of tEis district.
 In any event, the schedule is not en- tirely ironclad, and it is hardly likely that when the Los Angeles visitors see Globe and realize the importance of this city and the surrounding district that they will be content with short visit, but will remain here for sufficient length of time to become well acquaint ed with the entire district.

F|FTY-F|VE BODIES
 TAKEN OUT Trail to Wellington Estab- lished and Rapid Work
 Accomplished

WELLINGTON, March S.-At the last count, ffty-fve bodies had been taken from the avalanche ruins. The trail between Wellington and Scenic is now well established and bodies are being sent out soon after ther removal from the ruins to Seattle or Everett, most of the dead railroad men having lived in the latter city.
 Among the bodies found today were those of H. D. Chantrell of Vancouver, B. C., an immigration official, and Fred Bohn of Seattle, mail weigher. There are two unidentified bodies in Seattle and one on the way to that city.
 It is expected that the track eastward will be open tomorrow.
