Crawford Land Con-

test Case Dismissed.
In the land office Friday the con-
test of Zacharias and Bardman
against the desert land entry of $40
acres of A. j. and Adeline Aver of
Crawford was dismissed by the reg
lister and receiver. The contestors
charged that the land was supplied
by natural stream and that the
same would produce remunerative
crops without the aid of artificial
irrigation at the present time, but
no evidence was produced to show
that this was the case years ago
when the final proof was made by
the contestees, therefore such a
claim at this time was too late.
Attorney II. J. Baird of Delta,
represented the contestees.
Besides Mr.. and Mrs. Aver being
present, their witnesses, w. L..
Savage, w. NJ. Foster, John Staf-
ford and VIM. Mcmillan were in
attendance, all being residents of
rawford.-Montrose Press.

cHiNAMAN IN NEW ZEALAND.

A few weeks ago the Chinese OF
New Zealand were found to bedding
a very great deal Of the laundry
work available, and had 80 thrown
out Of employment the women Nrk-
ers In some Of the laundries. In
New Zealand a laundry is a factory
within the meaning Of the factories
act, so it occurred to a lawmaker
that he could settle the difficulty OF
this Chinese competition by a neat
amendment in the Interpretation
clause of the act above mentioned.
An amendment was therefore draft
ed and printed and sent with the ut
most seriousness and good faith to
the crown law Office for considera-
ton; it contained q provision in
these words "For the purposes Of
this act (the factories act), q China

Strange things r happening in
Skye. This time it is not a crofters'
revolt, but an industrial boom. What
with the discovery Of iron ore in
Raasay and a seemingly inexhausti-
bic supply Of fine marble among the
hills near Bradford, the island
looks as If it were on the threshold
of prosperous times. A few days ago
the last Of the extensive plant in con-
nection with tho marble quarries at
Bradford was laid at q cost roughly
estimated at 10000 pounds. The
quarries are located in the heart OF
the Skye mountains, and near the
base Of the famous Ben-na-C ailleach,
upon whose herbless peak there Is a
lone grave, in which there has rested
for twenty centuries the ashes Of a
Norwegian princess. The first rail-
way in the island has been construct

NAVAL OFFICERS BRAVE DEED
Throws Five Cartridges Into Sea and
Prevents Disaster on British
Warship.

The bravest thing / ever saw oc-
Cured on H. NJ. S. Magnificent in
Tetuan bay in the year 1905. We
were engaged in the usual quarterly
firing, and the gunlayers' COMPETE
ton was in progress, states a writer
in M. A. P. The six-inch guns
crew were going strongly when what
was supposed to be a miss-fire took
place. after an interval the breach
was opened and a fearful explosion
occurred, resulting in the death of
six Of the guns crew and severe
burns to several others. What was
thought to be a miss-fre had proved
to be a slow cartridge.
While the casemate was still full
of the fumes an officer, at the great
est risk to himself, entered and with
bare hands threw two live cartridges
through the port into the sea, and
thereby averted what might easily
have proved to be a worse accident
than the first, as by this time a great
number Of the ships company had
gathered round the scene of the ex-
plosion.

WAS FIRST ANTITRUST LAW
EdIet Issued in Year 49, BY Emperor
zsne Prohibited Monopoly
In N~ecessariee.

In the year 4S3 the Emperor Zeno
issued an edict beginning with this
declaration
1--WE command that no n may
presume to exercise q monopoly OF
any kind Of cloth, or Of fish, or OF
any other thing serving for food or
for any other use, whatever it's ma
ture may be, either Of his OWE au-
thority, or under a rescript of an
emperor already procured, or that
may hereafter be procured nor
may any person combine or agree,
in unlawful meetings, that different
kinds of merchandise may not be
sold at a less price than they may
have agreed among themselves"
This is the earliest antitrust act
that Mr.. Hannis Taylor reports in
his recent imposing volume on "The
Origin and Growth Of the American
Constitution" But everybody knows
that the evil which it was directed
against was ancient before Zeno's
time. The earliest recorded instance
of monopoly was when Joseph, as
prime minister Of Egypt, stored up
grain in expectation of the seven lean
years.
"And the famine was over all the
face of the earth and Joseph opened
all the storehouses and sold unto the
Egyptians; and the famine waxed
sore in the land of Egypt"

There il not q company or troop
but what has = dog attached to it,
and not . few companies and troops
have two and three dogs, says the
Des Moines Register and Leader.
A dog led the charge across the
imaginary river, a dog led the re-
view of the troops which should
properly have been headed by Gen.
eral Smith and a dog stood by the
general when the troops passed him
and dipped their colors as they
passed.
"Where did we get him?" said a
trooper, referring to a dog which
looked like all the rest Of the dogs
and which had just succeeded in cap
turing a horse that had thrown his
rider and successfully evaded all at
tempts by men to capture him.
"Where did we get him? Lord, sir,
we just picked him up. It's easier
for a boy to resist a circus than it is
for a dog to resist the army. Many
a respectable country dog has left his
life of ease to join the army. We
like EN- and we give 'em a good
home, and they just stick. No dis
respect, sir, but our troop could get
along better without its commander
than it could without the troop

miles north of here on the right.
Of way of the Frisco, and coming
to town secured a coroner's jury
and carried them to the scene to
hold an inquest. The verdict
was that the unknown man.
white, came to his death from
unknown cause. He had been
dead for several days and his
body was badly decomposed.
From an hypodermic needle and
bottles he was identified as the
man who came through here and
inquired for a physician. He
was referred to DR.. Farrar, who
had a talk with him. DR.. Farral
says that he was a morphine
fend. and that his body was one
mass of sores from injection
with the needle. He found him
to be a very intelligent man, well
up in medicine and stated he
was a trained nurse by profess
ion. Nothing more is known of
him, as there was nothing on his
person that would lead any clew
as to his home or people. On
account of the bad condition OF
the body, which had been badly
torn by dogs, it was placed in q
box, and buried where found.
It is not at all probable, they say.
