ANTHROPOLOGISTS
 FIND RARE INDIAN

San Francisco. September 6.-Anthro- biologists of the University of California, announce they have in custody the most contaminated Aborgine Indian in the world.
 They have secured from him on phono- graphic records 300 words of his language and expect to exhaust his scanty vocab- ulary within a week or so. The tribal and folk lore secured from him thus far are considered priceless.
 The man driven from the mountains by forest fires was caught near Oroville a few days ago while attempting to steal meat.
 "Ishi' is what the anthropologists call him, which means man" in the tongue of the southern Yahi Indians. his tribe.
 At his theory of the origin of fire the scientists almost danced with joy. It connects intimately with mythology of other California tribes east of the Sierras and with that of the Greeks and Rom ans. It involves a superior or supreme being, the coyote who stole the fire and transmitted 1t to the Yahis either volun- tary or because it had to do so
 When Ishi wearied of talking Profess lessor Waterman offered him bow and arrow found by some university expedi- ton. The old man Ishi Is over 60, bright ened up and walked outside. A hat was put on a post 100 feet and Ish sped his first arrow through the center of it's crown. He shot another at the same range through a newspaper at exact in- terseetion of it's folds and made some other fancy shots. His method of hand ling the bow is said to be deterrent from that found among any other tribes
 Ishi's one garment has been replaced by trousers, shirt and necktie. He re- fuses 10 remove any of them even at night, but retains from his former es- tate, buckskin thongs in his ears and nose. To each thong. Prof. Kroeber ex- plained bit of abalone shell was at tached at one time as a religious rite The presence of the thongs is considered essential to Ishi's wellbeing in the here after

LIMESTONE COUNTY
 SURVEY BEING MADE

Florence September 6.-(Special)-Dur- rg the last legislature. Senator Thurston
 H. Allen of this district drafted and bad
 passed bill having for it's object the cooperation of the state geological de- pertinent with the United States geolog- ical in making topograp phic map and
 survey of the counties of this state.
 The engineers are now here actually engaged in the field work. Lauderdale
 county will be sub-divided into three di- visions. It will take about three months to survey the county. The United States geological department having already sur veyed Wayne and Lawrence counties, len nessee. the survey for Alabama will be
 tied up with that, and continued on, un-
 til all the counties of the state are sur
 vey and mapped.
 The plan is for the United States sur
 vey to do the work. make the maps and furnish plates to the geological depart
 ment of the state, from which plate maps can be printed any time desired, the state of Alabama contributing its quoto of part of expense, which has been fixed at .sl0,0o0 per year, until the work is completed.
 Many Of the states or the union have complete surveys and many more are now making them. The maps are useful for planning extensive irrigation and drain- age projects and as useful as preliminary
 maps. The same is true in laying out highways, electric roads, railways and laqueducts, saving the costs of prelimi-
 nary surveys. the same maps are also of great advantage in classifying lands ana plotting the nature and distribution of the soils and of the geological and mineral resources of the country, as well as show ing the extent and character of the forest and grading lands. They are valuable in
 maneuvers of the national guard, in the development of military problems and In the selection of routes for road marches
 or strategical movements of troops, par ticularly of artillery and cavalry. As a means of promoting an exact knowledge of the country and serving teachers and pupils in geographic studies they are valuable.
 The party of engineers here are: C. B.. Kendall, chief; F. w. Crisp, assistant; B.
 L. Merkel. w. M Einsel, W. s. Walker and Ray Thomas.

HALLY WILL MAKE PROTEST
AGAINST THE MILLER BILL
Measure Would Cost City Millions In
Grade Separation
DAMAGES.

Corporation Counsel Hally, Tues.
day. telegraphed Gov. Osborn and the
Detroit members Of the legislature,
asking that he be given an oppor-
tunity to be heard on the amendments
to the grade separation act, propos-
ed by Senator Guy Miller, which have
already passed the senate. A reply
received from Senator Lee assures
him that the city will be given every
opportunity to make any objections
IL may see At before the bill Is possed
by the house.
The Miller bill. which seems TO
have slipped past the senate I'M
noticed, provides for important
changes In the act, which, II allowed
to stand, would cost Detroit millions
OF dollars I'm the next few years. II
Is said. II provides that property
owners whose land does not abut on
street involved In grade separation
may recover damages under certain
circumstances; that property owners
who can show damages through loss
of business while the grade separa-
ton work Is In progress may recover,
and il also provides for damages tor
the street railway company. II was
only about a year ago that Hally won
great victory for the city in the
supreme court on each of the three
points covered in the Miller bill. and
he does not propose 10 let the bill 90
through without emphatic protest.
As the law now stands only own
ers OF property abutting on the street
affected can recover damages.
