 THiRTY-sEvEN DOGS sHoT-As a result of the first days work upon the part of the dog catcher, over forty canines were brought in. Yesterday thirty-seve of these dogs were taken to a point south of the city. where they were dispatched by Marshal Moore. who employed a rifle in the work.
 A BUSINESS sHoWlNG-Some- time ago The Republican printed the figures showing the number of realty transfers made on the books of the water users association monthly for some time before The showing was a good one and though the figures are forgotten it indicated that though the past winter had been called a slow" season there were many mora trans fers than the previous good" year. Then the figures for April were given and they were still better, but the good results were discounted on the theory that many transfers were made to segregate large holdings and increase the number of votes in the water users election in May. There are now avail able the May figures, which there is no reasonable excuse for discounting and they show that the transfers were l43, as against 52 for May 1909 and 7l for June. 1909. an increase oi 175 per cent over May a year ago and twenty transfers in excess of the number made in both May and June last year. That ought to settle the croaking about it being a bad season for busi ness. Incidentally it gives an indica- ton of the rapidly increasing work in the office of the secretary of the as- sociation. this being but one of many new duties that have been either added or expanded in recent months.

WOULD PAY FOR DOG TAGS

Dr. O. L. Mahoney yesterday visited the police station and said that he did not believe il was right that dogs should be killed just because the own CTS were heartless enough to not pay their taxes or because they did not have the money. He expressed him self as willing to pay for the tag of any dogs where any other person would furnish a collar and see that the tag was properly affixed. The of fer was apparently in good faith.

The Payne Tariff Act.

difference retained or inserted BY way
OF undue discrimination in favor Of Ger

Tariff Board.

The time in which the tariff was pre-
pared undoubtedly was so short As
10 make il impossible Cor the Con-
gress and its experts to acquire
the information necessary strictly 70
conform to the declared measure.
In order to avoid criticism of this
kind In the future and for the Dur
pose OF more nearly conforming 10 the
party promise. Congress al its last ses-
sion made provision at my request for
the continuance of a board created IN
der the authority of the maxil1-Tra and
minimum clause Of the tariff b:z and
authorized this board 70 expend the
money appropriated under nv direction
for the ascertainment OF the cost Of Pro-
duCtion at home and abroad Of the Vari-
Gus articles included in the schedules of
the tariff The tariff board thus ap-
pointed and authorized has been diIiEent
in preparing itself for the necessary in

have advocated the use OF this board
for tariff purposes is that the question

Report Of Envoy
Sent to IsthmuS-

The report Of Doctor Hayes, Of the
Geological Survey, whom 1 sent within
the last month 70 the Isthmus 20 make
ar investigg ton, shows that this sec
ton OF the Canal Zone Is composed Of
sedimentaTy rocks Of rather weak struc-
ture and subject 10 almost immediate
disinteETation when exposed to the air.
Subsequent to the deposition Of these
sediments, igueous rocks, harder and
them and being cold at the time of
their intrusion united but indiferently
with the sedin0entary rock at the con-
facts. The result Of these conditions
is that as the cut is deepened, causing
unbalanced PreSSureS- slides from the
sides Of the cut have occurred These
are in part due TO the flowing Of surface
soil and deCOmpOSed SeCimentary rocks
upon inclined surfaces OF the underIy-
ing undecOmpOsed rock and in part by
the crushing Of StTuCtuTally weak
beds under excessive pressure These
slides occur on one side or the other
of the cut through a distance Of four
or five miles, and now that their charac-
ter is understood. allowance has been
made in the calculations OF yardaSe for
the amount Of slides which VIII have to
be removed and the greater slope that
will have to Be given to the bank in
many places in order to prevent their
recurrence Such allowances does not
exceed 100000 OF yards Considering
that the nuEnJer OF yards removed from
this cut on an average Of each month
through the year IS 10000, and that
the total remaining to be excavated,
including slides, is about 90. 10000 yards.
il Is seen that this addition to the ex-
cavation does not offer any great reason
