Unusual Proposition Is Sub
mitted TO the State Board of
Land Commissioners.
AUSTIN BROTHERS ANXIOUS
TO SECURE A PROJECT
Willing to Pay Overdue Princi.
pal From the Irrigated
Lands Company.

On December "a 1910, the state
board of land commissioners ad journed
to meet on January 5, 1911, at 10 a. m.
The reading OF the minutes Thursday
morning. when the regular meeting of
the board convened, disclosed the fact
that a special meeting was held De-
cember 90, at which proposition was
made by Austin Bros. in regard to the
delinquent principal and interest on the
loan Of 100000 to the Irrigated Lands
company and the surrender by the state
of It's liens upon the property of the
company.
The morning session Of the board
Thursday was consumed in the reading
of the minutes of the board during the
month Of December and they were all
read save the expenditures in detail OF
the Piute ana Harcntown project.
AS to Irrigated Lands Co.
The afternoon session was opened by
the Austin Bros with their project of
taking over the Irrigated Lands com
pany, they promising to pay the over
due principal, amounting to $4,000, on
or before January l5. 1911. and the bal
ance due for interest, amounting to
approximately $2S7l, by February l5.
Upon the payment Of the principal the
state agrees to surrender its lien on the
property.
What Is Proposed.
The Austin Bros. expect to sell the
waters belonging TO this project to the
settlers under the system, but failing to
make such sales they intimated to the
board that they might apply later for
the selection of such state lands as they
might need and proceed to improve
them at their own expense, holding
them for sale to other settlers later.
They stated that they expected to have
water for sale and delivery during the
coming season.
Real Land Board Heard.
W. D. Csndland, president, reported
that of the moneys loaned TO the Union
Reservoir company, SIS, ,S0295 had been
expended by his consent.
The attorney general filed an opin-
ion that the board was not authorized
to sell, pledge or rediscount its securi
ties, neither could it sell or mortgage
the various irrigation projects con
structed by the state until all the lands
and waters should be paid for under
the contracts with the purchasers.
Sealed Bids Called For

the Textile Manufacturers
 6rnal This pulp Is cut into thin 8heets, each individual sheet is care fully weighed and certain quantity placed in metal tank for chemical treatment
 The various chemical solutions nsed are mixed lii huge iron tanks, from which they are pumped under ground through series of lead pipes to the departments requiring the various compounds. This pulp having been macerated and digested. is submitted O still further chemical action under certain fixed temperatures which are not allowed to vary even onehalf of q degree.
 When it fig ready for final trans formation into silk the solution close. ly resembles molasses In color and consistency. At this stage it Is pump ed from the tanks to the spinning frames. Here specially constructed pumps are attached to each spindle, which carefully measures out the re- quired quantity of the solution.
 This is forced through tubes with an outlet containing just as many perforations as there are to be fila ments in the thread. Through these it is passed to tank running the length of the frame and containing chem ical mixture which fixes the solution instantaneously into q thread.
 This strand is carried over a wheel down through tube to a rapidly re- volving spindle: the rate of speed is about 5000 revolutions minute From this the strands are afterward unwound on reels into skeins. The air in the spinning room is complete ly changed every three minutes. being pumped off through hoods placed over each of the spinning frames This is done to remove any possible fumes and to provide thorough ventilation for the operatives.
 One of the interesting features in connection with the entire operation Is the fact that the yarn is handled RE little as possible The specially constructed stoves and bleaching ar engagements are ideal, and when the skeins are finally carried to the large drying room au the fifth floor one marvels at the change which has so rapidly taken place. From here they are taken to the sorting room, where each individual skein is carefully ex- amined by skilled operators.

QUEER TRIO OF BIRDS
ThUMPETER, SECRETARY AND
 KAMICHll ALL USEFUL.
Feathered Destroyers of Snakes. Scorpions and Other Noxious Crea. tures That infest South Amer
 lea and Southern Africa.

The trnmpeter bird is the ragMcker of the woods and swamps of Guiana, where he is always at work at his trade, with his stomach for pacl and his bill for hook He performs a most useful but most extraordinary service. devouring perfec, multitude of snakes, frogs. scorpions, spiders, liz ards and the like creatures. Hut this terrible bird can be made perfectly tame.
 On the Guiana plantations he may be seen flaternizing with the chickens, ducks and turkeys, accompanying them in their walks. defending them from their enemies, separating quarrelers with strokes of his bill, sustaining the young and the feeble and waking the echoes with his trumpet while he brings home his flock at night.
 The trumpeter is as handsome as he is useful. Noble and naughty in his aspect, he raises himself up on his long, yellow gathered legs and seems to say, T am the trumpeter, the scourge of the reptiles and the pro- tector of the flocks."
 In southern Africa there is another great extefnainator of reptiles, the shake eater, or secretary bird, :. s...;a.es.

The Turkish Army.

Every Mahaminedan subject in Turkey is liable to service, and re- mains liable for 25 years. At 21 the young Turk enters the active army, the Nizam. and remains in it for three years He must serve six years in the reserve. called the Tchtrad. and after this he remains nine years in the army reserve. called the Redif. which resembles the German Land wehr. This reserve has a second line called the Mustafis. in which the cit izen liable to service is finally en- rolled

our people. This city has always stood ready to cooperate with it's country friends in any movement that they advocated. and since the state ment now published is so clear and conservative the Graphic believes that all objections will be promptly and effectually removed.
 A very important item in connection with this movement is the amount of foreign money it will bring into this sect,on It is safe to say that of the $700.00O proposed to be expended at least $500, 1000 will be paid out for la bor, material and provisions that can and will be obtained in this county. It will give employment to hundreds of mechanics and laborers for many months. And when it is considered that the proposed interurban and steam railroad will cost several mil lion dollars it will readily be seen that there need be no idle men or dull! times in this county.
 In view of the fact that the com missioners desire to furnish any other information that any taxpayer desires, the Graphic urges those who are still skeptical to confer freely and frank ly with the commissioners and trasi, out their objections, and thereby upon Il matter of so much importance lha. II any differeat es and objections will arse and Wh.ch, if presented to he cca.m. ssioners. will undoubtedly lead to oeuefic al results to the com :iic- sicnei as well as the taxpayers. NJ least the opportunity should be given to explain away the objection

Office HoIdino In China,

In some respects the Chinese ap- pear to have distinct advantages over HIS. For instance. when a Chinese pub lie office holder has failed to give satisfaction in his officehOlding- when he has shown that he Is the wrong man in the right place-he is invited to commit suicide, so that $ better servant of the people may sue. ceed him. The request is not mere formality. When it is made in the proper way and backed by proper expression of public opinion it has all the force of decision of the supreme court. The man who Is condemned has no escape save flight, and if he runs away his family is forever dis. graced and degraded.
 If we could import this Chinese GUS tom there would undoubtedly be a great improvement in the general business of office holding It would make undertaking almost unneces sary. and senatorial investigations would become obsolete. Moreover, ii would give the office a real chance to seek the man. The task of the voter would be simplified, because there would cease to be multiplicity Of candidates for each office. If the Chi nese system could be adopted with. out the accompaniment of the pigLaii 1t might he worth trying.

The finished product is absolutely pure meerschanm, pressed in blocks which are so white and light that foam of the sea" imeer- for it It's weight is almost negligi ble, a good sized pipe bowl weighing only half an ounce.
 Three Carloads Shipped Monthly.
 Three carloads of these blocxs Of meerschaum are shipped to the New York plant every month, the pipes be- ing sawed. turned, polished and fitted here. Dozens of different styles arc being made; calabash, silver mounted, solid meerschaum bowls. separate bowls. cgar and cigarette holders, etc
 The makers enthusias astically asset that it is not only as good as the for eign meerschaum but better. They say it is even tougher, that it is just as absorbent--they say a little moro so---and that it takes just as good 2 polish. Also that it can be sold at $ price that almost halves that of Turk ish meerschaum.
 From the depression of their four years of repeated struggles and ais. appo. .ntments the manufacturers are now reacting like rubber balls. They see unlimited ossibilities in the fu- ture. They say there's no reason why American meerschaum shouldn't be used for lot of things besides pipes for poker chips. for example, toilet articles, ornaments, buttons.
