LAW MAKERS ARRIVE IN WASH.
INGTON.

Washington, d. C.-That another
session of Congress is almost here is
brought home to us by the arrival OF
Senators and Representatives daily,
to get settled for the winter, and to
attend to various matters Of interest
to their constituents.
With the President and his Cabi-
net back from their summer wander
ings, things have taken on lively
aspect around the White House. The
President is reported to be hard at
work on his message to Congress, and
it is understood that the Secretary OF
the Interior is acting as his chief ad-
wiser on this matter. That Mr.. Fisher
is a conservationist, and that he
spent some time in Alaska last sum.
mer, seem to be grounds for the be-
lief that he will make some radical
recommendations. which the Presi-
dent will adopt, for the disposal OF
public lands, including natural re-
souces," in the United States and
also in the Territory Of Alaska.
Congressman Needham, Of Califor.
MIA, was one of the first of the far
Western members to put in an ap-
pearance. He has been watching the
progress of the investigation by the
Remsen Referee Board of the use of
sulphur in curing fruit, in which his
constituents are much interested, as
they claim it is possible to cure fruit
properly without making use of the
sulphur process. He is also prepared
to make hard fight to keep the tariff
on agricultural products unimpaircd.
He claims that without the reason
able tariff now existing on the pro-
ducts of California fields and orchards
the people of his State would suffer
irreparable loss. Congressman Need
ham is also interested in the resolu-
ton granting official recognition OF
the San Diego Exposition. AT the
special session last summer he helped
to secure the passage Of this resolu-
ton in the House. 1t is now before
the Senate and has excellent pros
poets of being passed. The bill au-
thorizes and requests the President
to invite the nations of Mexico, Cen
trail and South America To make ex-
hibits at the Panama California In
ternational Exposition at San Diego
in 1915. There is believed to be no
opposition to the passage of this bill
in the Senate.

SACRED CAVE IS RICH IN BELLS.

Members of the Southwest Society
of the Archaeological School of Amer
lea have been interested in story
told by A. Hooten Blakiston, presi-
dent of the Mexican and Southwest
Development Company, who is one
of the most devoted archaeological
students of America.
On one of his trips to headquarters
at Mazatian he ran down to Hondur-
as to visit sacred cave. This cave
contains 800 copper bells, ranging in
size from a button to large dinner
bell and more picturesque in design
than the bells made by any other
known civilization. Each has for a
clapper ball of pure copper, and no
two have the same tone.
An old Indian was the first to
find the cave" said Mr.. Blakiston.
He discovered it on one of his hunt
ing trips in 1908 and kept the knowl-
edge secret until few months ago,
owing to his ignorance of its value
and because the one man in whom
he had confidence was not there.
Recently his padrone returned, and
then divulged the information that
he had discovered rich mine with
its precious metal made into bells.
"The cave is far within the Hon
duran mountains, on an arroyo on
the headquarters of small stream
flowing into the Rio Chameleon and
% miles from the ruins of the ancient
city of Naco. Thick vegetation, rush
ing streams, steep mountains and
beds Of quicksand make access diff
cult. The entrance is 40 feet wide
and contains signs of what seems to
be copper stain. Its depth is 56 feet.
"A few copper bells were lying on
the surface, and later excavations re-
covered them by the hundreds. The
largest are nearly three inches in
diameter. They range from conven-
tional shapes to most fantastic de-
signs.
The most interesting are in the
form of fanciful faces of men and
eccentric shapes and animals. One
follows the lines of turtle with an
elongated neck, bent backward for
the handle. One has an exaggerated
chin and nose like our own concep-
ton of witch. Some represent
strange creatures akin to the dragon
of romance, and these curl around
bells that are shaped like we'll"
