Health is rampant in Washington
state. In fact, it has become so
notorious that the Census Depart

healthful state in the Union. It's
death rate is only ten for each thou

THE CARRIER BEE.

The bee has been suggested as q
military dispatch carrier because II
returns infallibly to its hive. however
far away. The sense of orientation is
keener in the bee than i'm the pigeon
and as messenger he presents an easy
means of sending messages through
the enemy's lines.
Hitherto the only difficulty has been
TO find q form of dispatch light
enough TO be carried by bee. This
difficulty has been overcome by pho
Biography. When enlarged by the or
binary Photographic methods the most
minute characters are legible, and ex-
periments made have shown that a
photographic film MS large as the head
of pin can he glued TO the back or
belly of bee. Bees will be able Ia
defy the bullets of the enemy as well
as the falcons trained to intercept car
rier pigeons. IL is true that many
birds eat bees. but the cost OF rearing
a bee Is so small that innumerabIe ar
mics of relays or substitutes can be
kept for military service, while a num-
Der of copies of the same telegram can
be sent out at the same time-Har-
per's Weekly.

TO RESUME RELIC SEARCH.
II Develops That Turkey Is to Share
in the Spells.

Jerusalem. Aug. 21.-Word is receiv-
ed here that Captain Montague Parker
expects to resume the work of eXcavat-
ing for sacred relics in the Valley OF
Sloan i'm August Meantime n deci-
sion as to whether the captains con-
tract with the Turkish government
can be technically construed TO justify
his operations at the Mosque of Omar
Iis awaited with interest.
II will be recalled that after much
excavating had been done and some
relics. 1t Is claimed, recovered. the
work was interrupted by charges that
1.-THE explorers had violated the holy
Mosque of Omar, obtaining access to IL
for the purposes of eXcavating by brib-
ing its guardians. Popular feeling was
so intense against the foreigners that
after they had withdrawn, the govern
ment ordered the arrest of the guard
ans of the Mosque and pursued an in
|vestigation into the circumstances Of
It's alleged dissertation.
Now the contract between Parker,
representing an Anglo American syn
dictate. and the Turkish government
has come to light. It's perusal leaves
one I'm doubt as 10 whether the ex-
plorers can be shown to have exceeded
their rights, but. on the other hand.
II furnishes unmistakable evidence
that the captain was sanguine of dis
covering rare treasures and that he
financed the affair literally. II also
develops that the Turkish government
was a partner to the transaction and
was to share In the spells.
The contract contains twelve arti-
cles, some of which are worth repro
ducing. 1t was signed on October &c,
1908, by Captain Parker and Ziah Pas
ha, the then Minister of Finance act
ing for the Turkish government. Ar
ticle one provides that Parker is to
furnish all the necessary funds and
operate in the name and under the
Auspices of the Turkish government.
Article five has to do with an extern
sion of the contract in the matter of
time by mutual consent. In Article
eleven Parker releases the government
of any damages growing out of the
possible failure pf the enterprise. Ar
ticlc twelve provides that in case of a
difference of opinion or misunder-
standing between the two parties the

MORTGAGE TAX RULING.

In an opinion given by Attorney
General Kuhn he holds that mortgages
given and recorded prior to Jan. l.
1912, may file an affidavit and pay
the tax one one-half of 1 per cent, I'M
der the new law. He says that until
such aflidavits are filed and the taxes
paid the mortgage Is taxable under
the old law. He holds that the stat
utes I'm no way limits the time within
which the tax may be paid ON a mort
gage recorded prior to January, 1912
and the payment of the tax on such
a mortgage any time after August of
the present year would not relieve
the mortgage from taxation for this
year under the general tax law.

GOPHER CREW THE BEST?
90 Claims Capt. Davis, in Charge of
All Naval Militia.


Just where the Minnesota naval
militia stands Is shown by the re-
marks of Captain Davis, who has
charge of all the naval militia in the
United States, says the Duluth News
Tribune. He said
Il have not visited all he branches
OF naval militia i'm the country, but
nave seen most of them, and as far
as l have seen, ,the crew of the Gopher
are the best in efficiency and order In
the country"
This Is, indeed, a feather in the can
of the officers commanding the Mime
sofa men. Captain Davis also said
that the men were entitled TO service
on much more modern ship than the
Gopher. He was on the Gopher for all
of the cruise until Charlevoix was
reached, when he went aboard the L.
;. 5. Dubuque of Chicago.
Ensign Carpenter of the United
states navy was on the Gopher for all
of the cruise and came to Duluth with
the ship. He said:
Il cannot speak too highly of the
conduct and efficiency of the officers
and men of the Gopher. / have never
seen i'm the country's naval militia men
more efficient, ship handled i'm bet
ter shape, nor cleaner galley"
