it was extremely malodorous and the
flies were breeding in millions.
President Pratt then suggested that
the whole thing be covered with lime
and Mr.. Macfarlane carried out the
suggestion, adding to it by afterwards
covering it with earth.
The board then suggested that it be
taken out to sea until a current was
fonnd trending seawards. This was
done with an experimental sampan,

tins which had been sealed "came

RAWLINS HASN'T
RESIGNED AS YET

81 have not resigned, nor am go.
ing to do so, said Assistant United
States Attorney W. t. Rawlins yester.
day afternoon in replying to a ques.
tion.
1t was rumored in some quarters that
Rawlins had "A vacation until the first
of the year and that his resignation
was already in to take effect at the
time his leave was up. He has been
booked for the Coast for several weeks
and is down on the list of the Korea

intend to 60 on this steamer.
81 have not been feeling well for
several days and so shall not start foI
the mainland just yet, - said Rawlins
As to his resigning, he said that he
had no intention of doing so unless he
had something better offered him than
anything he knew of at the present
time. He said that he was going to
the mainland soon, and had several
offers in the east, but expected to ac.
cept none of them, as they were not az
attractive as his present position.

DR.. A. N Sinclair, the regular incum-

preat deal of the routine work of the
board and is fairly familiar with it.
He win continue his work of examin-

he has been doing 1nder Doctor Ramus,

Doctor Sinclair, incidentally, has
eabled President Taft that he is ia
San Francisco, and is now expected
back on the next Sierra. This will
give the board its full quota of officers.
AS Doctor Sinclair wears the uniform
