AMONG THE GIANTS
IN STATURE AND INTELLECT
(Henry Hall, in the Pittsburg
Chronicle Telegraph.)

(Henry Hall, in the Pittsburg
Chronicle Telegraph.)
There is quite "baby class in
this House. That is the class in
which they put all the members over
six feet in height, with weight "ac.
cordin'.' The holdovers in the class
are Representatives Barchfeld, OF
pennsylvania; Dwight. of New York;
sulloway, of New Hampshire; Weeks
of Massachusetts; Anthony, of Kan
sas; Steenerson, of Minnesota; and
James, of Kentucky. To these have
been added Wedemeyer, of Michigan,
Willis, of Ohio; Young, of Kansas !;
and Kinds of Maine.
These are all big men physically
and mentally, and, like all big men,
are popular with their fellows. Per
haps their popularity arises in some
degree from the fact that their small
er colleagues realize what they could
do to them if they wanted to, but the
fact remains that all these gentlemen
are among the most courteous and
considerate members of the House.
They certainly do not presume on
their size.'
IF it should ever come to rough
and-tumble in the House," said Rep
resentative Dwight, I'VE would sure
have the advantage over the Demo
Gratis, for all the big fellows are Re-
publicans, with the sole exception of
Ollie James of Kentucky. On the
flying wedge proposition we could
lay it all over them.'

she is six-year-old Holstein, the pro.

was re-checked today, and is fully at
tested, and is regarded by dairy ex.
perts as wonderful During April she
produced 1866 pounds Of butter from
2,5hf.S pounds of milk. The best pre-

Johanna, owned by Gillette & Son Of
Rosendale, Wis.,, was 1855 pounds OF
butter. For the seven day test the
Irwin animal made new Minnesota

worlds record. The greatest possible
precautions were taken to secure an
accurate test, and the result cannot

LAWNMOWERlRAzOR
IS LATEST INVENTION
NEW AND RAPID METHOD OF RE-
MOVING THE BEARD HAS BEEN
DEVISED BY A FORMER RESI-
DENT OF NEVADA.

A miniature "lawnmower" oper-
ated by electricity is the latest in
novation in mans world. 1t is a
buzzing little contrivance that
threatens to relegate to history the
BARRIERS razor and give more free
dom to the talkative tonsorial art
list. 1t made its first demonstration
in San Francisco recently when
Martin Efinger of Los Angeles,
famed in the Nevada mining camps
as the promoter of "Maricopa &C."
was shorn of a two-days' growth of
beard in just % seconds from the
time he lathered his own face and
turned on the electric juice.
The new tangled shaver is practi-
cally the creation of Efinger's fer
tile brain. One morning while
shaving in his home In Los Angeles.
a task which he at no time liked.
Emnger, glancing out of a window,
saw a gardener peacefully moving
a lawn.
"If / could shave my face like that
fellow mows that grass" thought
Efinger, I'd go at the Internal job
like sport"
Then Efinger's brain got work
ing. Why couldn't a razor be built
like a lawnmower? He consulted
with a man of science, who said 1t
could. Then. they went to work and
the results of many months of labor
is the machine that shaved Effinger's
face at the st. Francis hotel.
Built almost identicaHy on the
lines of a lawnmower, its three
blades in spiral shape, Efinger's
machine, weighing a pound. is easily
connected by wire to a chandelier and
made to work at the rate of 500 revo-
buttons a minute.

Just cause to make complaint against
them"
The newspaper representative
states that he was shown a prelimi-
nary draft of the new regulations
and that his attention was especially
directed to one clause which is
designated to give the %prospector
ample right to the timber for build
ings, mine workings and fuel.
Wherever prospectors have hesitat-
ed t operate in the forest reserve
because of the fear of official, or
officious interference, it we're well If
the injurious impression shall be re-
moved. With the assurance that his
claims will not be protested unless
he wilfully transgresses the rights
of others, and that no proof of dis
covery to the forestry service will be
called for, except as 1t may arise I'M
der the usual patent proceedings, the
gold hunter may go into the pine
woods with greater peace of mind
than he has hitherto possessed. But
let him, at the same time, remember
that the forests are worth preserv-
ing and that he should do his part to-
ward preventing wanton destruction
of trees by fire or MISUNDERSTANDING
Science.

PROSPECTOR AND
FOREST RESERVE
LAW WILL PROTECT MINERAL
CLAIMANTS NOTWITHSTAND-
ING THE IMPRESSION OF HOS
TILITY THAT HAS ARIZEN.

No question has ever been raised
against the right of an American
citizen to prospect for mineral in
territory set aside as a national forest
reserve. The law is sufficiently
specific to protect the ~prospector on
this point. But the impression has
arisen that the forestry service of the
government is disposed to hamper
mineral claimants a legacy of the
Pinchot administration, when forest
rangers, armed with regulations
from Washington, set out to assume
the qualifications and duties of min
ing engineers. This impression OF
hostility has become very emphatic
in the western states, which are the
only states directly affected, and 1t
may require much counter publicity
to move it. The Pinchot administra-
ton took advantage of the clause in
the mineral statute which requires
discovery of mineral in place TO
throw obstacles in the way of claim
ants not SO much by successfully
disputing title as by compelling
claimants to face expensive formali-
ties. Now, it is announced that the
chief forester, ii. S. Graves, with the
consent of the president is DESTROYS
of making the forest as liberal as
possible toward the prospector and
other settlers; also that a new set of
regulations is being drawn up. To
a representative of the Denver Times
Mr.. Graves is said to have spoken, in
brief, as follows:
"In some instances it is probably
true that forest rangers did interfere
with p~rospectors, but in so doing
many of them exceeded their au-
thority. We have been and are i'm
proving the personnel of our corps of
rangers. Under an agreement that
was entered into between this de-
partment and the American Mining
congress, mineral locations will not
be examined prior to application for
mineral patent except where a report
is requested by the department of
the interior or where locations in
with the administration of the
national forests. No report will be
which has not been made by
a mineral examiner. By the words,
where locations interfere with the
administration of the national
forests we mean claims that are not
made in good faith, but for the pur-
pose of holding up a water power
reservoir or other project,
or to prevent the legitimate sale of

new SECTIONS
IN MINING LAW
IMPORTANT CHANGES MADE BY
THE LAST LEGISLATURE IN
THE MATTER OF STATEMENTS
OF MINING COMPANIES.

Nevada's legislature at It's session

law governing mining corporations.
This the last legislature amended.
Section one of said act is hereby
amended so as to read as follows:
Every corporation owing, claiming,
holding leasing or engaged in the
business of working or developing

and it's secretary, il 1t is a domestic
corporation, and also by its resident
agent. If a foreign corporation; pro-
vided, however, that the failure of
the bylaws of any such corporation
to provide a date for the annual
meeting of the stockholders thereof
shall not excuse said corporation
from filing such a statement once
during each calendar year. Said
statement shall cover the period of
time between hat embraced in the
previous statement filed In accord
the month in which said annual meet
ing is to be held, or in the event that
such statement is the first statement
to be filed by any corporation In con
formity with this act, such statement
shall cover the first six months of
the existence of such corporation.
This statement requires the name
of each claim and fraction, descrip-
ton and location; nature of title;
character, value and general des-
cription of all improvements, build

ARE ALABAMA JA|LS DISEASE BREEDERS? What State Pardon Board
 Found ENCOURAGE DIR. OATES Governor O'Neal Questions Prisoners and All Say Health Was Good
 Before Entering the
 County Jail
ENCOURAGE DIR. OATES
By HIGH M. ROBERTS

Montgomery. December 24.-(SpeciaD In making an inspection through the various convict camps of the state the pardon board, as a result of personal inquiry, came to the conclusion that riod in several of the county jails is al- most identical with inflicting the pun ishment of lingering death.
 The Jefferson county jail is desig- mated as one of insanitary condition.
 The inspection of the pardon board was made some days ago, its object be- ing to select by personal observation those convicts to whom a Christmas pardon would prove of the greatest ben eft Every consumptive observed was questioned by Governor O'Neal as to his previous condition of health, and con cerning the cause of the contraction of the deadly disease.
 Tt was almost invariably the case,'' states the governor. "that the answer came, Before imprisonment in the county jail I enjoyed good health.'"
 As a result of the investigation the pardon board returned to the open with the avowed purpose of encouraging the work of pr. Oates, state jail inspector.
 "The authority of the jail inspector" states the governor, lis almost unlim- ited, but the legislature which gave that power Is to be commended. Very often we hear from various counties complaints to the effect that Dr. Oates should be restrained, that his promscu- ous condemnation of jails Is a tendency towards bankrupting the counties. But Dr. Oates has always acted within the bounds of his authority, and as a re- suit of inspecting the convicts, we have reached the conclusion that his power should not be diminished. With such authority he cannot carry out the re- formation which seems to be absolutely necessary"
 The entire membership of the pardon board Is wrought up over the situation. and there is no doubt but that within a comparatively short space of time the state of Alabama will possess no jail in which it is dangerous to sleep longer than a single night. The subjection of prisoners, the vast majority of whom are charged with petty crimes, to the necessity of risking their lives in a conflict against the germs of deadly disease, according to state officials, is not to be longer tolerated. Such a punishment for prisoners charged with heinous crimes is judged absolutely un- fair in its every detail.
 pr. Oates has at last aroused the state to the good of his work. and it is a certainty that that work will be continued until the prisons of the state have been thoroughly renovated and restored to condition of decency.

TWO ARE KILLED IN STREET CAR WRECK Car Dashes Down a Steep Grade in Toronto, Turn
 ing Over on Side

Toronto, December 24-Two women were killed and a score of person in- jured, some of them mortally, when a runaway trolley car on King street, crowded with church going people, dashed down a steep grade tonight, ran into an open switch, and crashed over on It's side. One of the women killed was Mrs. Alfred c. Deacon, wife of an engineer commander in the British navy. The identity of the second victim has no' been ascertained.
 When the crash came panic stricken passengers, piled in heaps amongst llt- ter of broken glass and splintered wood' struggled desperately for egress. The car capsized, some of the passengers were hurled through windows and pinned under the car, one of these being Mrs. Deacon. Her husband was only slightly injured.
 William J. Moore, the motorman, who lost control of the car on the slippery rails, was held by the police, pending the fixing of responsibility for the accident. He escaped injury.
