The Passenger Pigeon.

The Chronicle of March 2ith
contained an article by Edward
Clark of the University of
Chicago, entitled "The Passing
of the Passenger Pigeon" The
statement was made that these
pigeons, once so numerous that
they darkened the sky with their
flights, were now almost extinct
and a reward of $i00 would be
paid for a nesting pair and their
undisturbed nest. w. c. Spencer
of Sanford, states that he is
well acquainted with the birds
and has frequently seen them in
the mountains west of La Jara.
Towards the last of June and
about the first of July they are
quite numerous in the vicinity of
the World ranch at an altitude
of about 10000 feet, and have also
been seen by Mr.. Spencer on the
opposite side of the range near
San Juan creek. Mr.. Spencer
is an experienced hunter and trap

more clever man than Garvey and
a good exhibition is confidently
expected. La Jara is fortunate

Academy Commencement.

The San Luis Stake Academy
completed its most successful year
last Friday. A large crowd gather
ed at the church in Manassa TO
witness the graduation exercises
which took place at 10 a. IN. Tie
stand was tastily decorated with
turquoise blue" and the seven
young men and the seven young
men who graduated, in their fine
suits and beautiful dresses, made a
most impressive and pleasing APP
pearance. The display of flowers
was indeed beautiful Every part
as announced in the program was
very successfully and pleasingly
rendered. We cannot speak of
them separately but will say that
each was excellent.
Z. S. Christensen, president of
the school, delivered an able and
timely address to the gra lutes.
Christen Jensen, secretary of the
board, presented the diplomas as
the class marched past him, a
beautiful march being played by
Miss Leonora Christensen. A
sweet little Flower Girl'' met the
graduates at the secretary's table
and presented several beautiful
bouquets, the gifts of admiring
friends and relatives.
The class president, John Reed,
then presented a large hand paint
ed portrait of Principal Frank O..
Soule to the school.
After the graduation exercises
the class marched over to the
Academy building where they were
banqueted, the board of education
and faculty being with them. This
was a grand affair, being served by
the domestic science department of
the school, and was indeed credit
to the school. The several courses
were served in style to please the
most particular. Several toasts,
sentimental and complimentary to
the school, the class, the board and
the faculty were responded to, also
some recitations rendered and an
Grafton delivered The food was
perfect, the occasion inspiring and
the pleasure indescribable.
The several departments of the
school were thrown open where
public displays of the work of the
school had been arranged.
The still life an free hand draw
ing first attracted attention. The
work was splendid and called forth
many remarks Of surprise and
approval. As this was the first
year this has been taught, the pro-
gress made was indeed remarkable
Next came the art needle work
and such a lot of it, and such
beautiful pieces, embroidery, har-
danger, drawn work, pieces of all
names and descriptions, nearly
enough to stock store and all the
work of the industrious Academy
girls. Also dresses, waists, skirts
etc, too numerous to mention anc
too pretty for us to attempt te
describe. In the same room were
samples of cooking, pastery, candy
etc, from the domestic science
department. All splendid show
ing, a credit to the class and 8

20 MORE CLERKSTREMBLE
TO BE DROPPED FOR INCoM
PETENCY.
INSPECTORS Will Charge That Mer
Carried Unnecessary Weight
On Cars.

st. Paul, Minn.-Fifty-two mail
clerks in the Minneapolis division are
facing suspension as the result OF a
report of p~ostofice inspectors and AS
sistant Superintendent Whitney OF st.
Paul, charging them with carelessness
and incompetency. The report has
been sen to C. E. Johnson, acting
chief clerk of the Minneapolis divi-
sion.
Railway mail clerks, whose names
have been recommended for suspen-
sion by the inspectors, say it Is but
an excuse for their suspension in con-
nection with their part in the organ
ization of the brotherhood OF Rail
way Mail Clerks" formed during the
winter following the controversy be-
tween the postoffice department and
the Tracy-Pierre clerks.
P~ostofice inspectors who recon-
mend the suspension deny the charges
of the clerks and say their recommen,
dations have been made or the
grounds that the clerks are using un
necessary equipment on their runs,
thus aiding railway mail weighers to
secure high weight of the mails on
which the government contracts for
the next four years are made.
The report of the inspectors and
Mr.. Whitney follows a week of inves,
tigation over the roads of the Mime,
apoliS division. Last week Mr.. Whit,
ney and Postoffice Inspectors Munro,
Hugdal, Pierce and White made trips
over every railroad in the division.
Unnecessary Sacks Used.
In their report they say scores of
mail sacks are used with only three
or four letters in them. This, they
claim, constitutes unnecessary use of
equipment and raises the weight of
the mails several hundred pounds
daily more than the figures should
be.
Each sack weighs five to ten pounds
and their unnecessary use raises the
weight of the mails needlessly. Dur.
ing mail weighing season, which
started in February and will end in
May, every p]reCaution is taken by
the government to curtail the use of
all equipment except that which is
absolutely necessary to transport the
mails properly.
Two or three sacks were found on
n run with only one letter each in
them," said one post office inspector
today. The name of the clerk who
makes up these sacks is put on the
lock of each sack. We took those
names and turned them into the act
ing chief clerk of the division. He
will recommend their suspension. II
has nothing to do whatever with the
controversy existing between the
clerks and the department"

TO THE LORIMER FUND
$4,000 Was Sum manufacturers
ton Took Place On Winnipeg
Flyer Says the Wit
ness.

Springfield, Illinois.-Three more
important points developed dur
ing the hearing before the senate bri-
berry investigation committee. The
first was the defiance of a committee
mandate by Edward Tilden, Chicago
packer and banker.
Tilden was under subpoena to pro
duce his banking accounts in person
before the committee. Instead, he
sem a lawyer. The lawyer read an
affidavit and letter to the committee
from Mr.. Tilden.
The affidavit said hat Mr.. Tilden
knew absolutely nothing and his bank
accounts showed nothing directly or
indirectly upon the election of Sena-
Mr.. Tilden would allow one member
of the committee to examine his bank
accounts in confidence, provided he
(Tilden) was allowed to name such
member of the committee.
The second surprise occurred before
the committee when William Burgess,
a Duluth electrical contractor, took
the witness stand. Burgess testified
that as late as March, 1911, p. F.
Wiehe, brother-in-law of Edward
Hines, declared that he (Wiehe) sub
scribed $4,000 to a jackpot used to
effect the election of Lorimer. Bur
CESS said that this conversation took
place aboard the Winnipeg flyer in
the smoking compartment of a sleep
ing car.
Hopkins Memory Poor.
The third phase of the case against
Lorimer was opened up by former
United States Senator Albert ]. Hop
kins of Aurora and Chicago. Mr..
Hopkins testified that former State
Senator Mccormick of Madison coun-
ty, had told Mr.. Hopkins secretary,
John NJ. PETERS, that he (Senator Nc
Cormick) had been offered $4,000 to
vote for Mr.. Lorimer. Former Sena-
tor Hopkins proved a somewhat reluc-
tant witness and his memory was poor
regarding many things said to have
occurred about the time of Lorimer's
election.
In connection with Edward Tilden's
refusal to appear before the commit
tee, officials of the Drovers' Deposit
National Bank Of Chicago also de-
olined to submit certain accounts
which they had been called upon by
subpoena to produce before the com
mittee.
A letter from the vice president of
that bank was read. The banker
stated that we feel strongly that it
would not be right for us to disclose
the private transactions of one of our
clients in any such sweeping manner
as is demanded by your subpoena"

TRAIN WRECK is FATAL TO 81
Most Appalling Accident in the His

GrahamstOwn, Cape Colony, S. A
Thirty-two persons were killed in
the wreck of a passenger train on the
Kowie railway when it plunged to de-
struction into a gorge $50 feet deep
through the collapse Of the Blaakwa-
krantz bridge. In addition many were
injured, some of them probably fatal
ly. 1t was the most appalling wreck
in the history of South African rail
ways.
The rescue work involved heart
rending experiences. A large mass of
wreckage lodged on a ledge 120 feet
down, and it was many hours before
all were removed from the difficult
crags and hoisted in sacking to the
lip of the gorge. One little girl had a
miraculous escape. She was caught
in a fork of the bridge and held by
one foot over the ravine. The res
cuers had to scale Orders to the
height of 200 feet to bring her down.
