IODJECT TO
THE TRADE AS
| PROPOSED

II bill introduced in congress by
Congressman Hawley providing for the
exchange Of $4,000 acres Of the states
lands for lieu lands in forest reser't's'
on a valuation basis, passes that body
II will mean that the state will secure
in return for that number Of acres, but
10000 acres.
With the view of preventing this
and bringing about an exchange on an
acreage basis, Governor West and
members Of the state land board today
forwarded a letter to the congress-
man protesting against the measure.
What Board Wants.
The board desires to exchange the
75 900 acres for compact body of land
in some reserve Of equal number OF
acres. II the acreage plan can be
carried into execution this can be done
and the state be wealthier by the
trade.
Under the Hawley plan the land OF
the state would be appraised, and also
that to be exchanged for it. As mucn
Of the states land is Of an inferior
quality, the $4,000 acres would prob
ably bring in return but 10000 in the
forest reserve. The board, however
takes the view that this is not trans
action OF profit, but that the lands be-
long to the people, and that in view
OF this, an appraisement should not
be made. The further view is also
taken that, though the intrinsic value
Of the state land might only be one
tenth as great as that owned by the
government, its script value is worth
SIS an acre.

PLANTING
DYNAMITE

Lawrence, Mass, Jan. 20
Charges that detectives in the pay OF
the big mills here are planting dyna-
mite in an effort to kill public senh-
ment for $4,000 strikers who de-
manded what they say is living
wages" were made here today fol-
lowing the arrest OF four men and
four women and the seizure OF five
pounds Of dynamite by the state po-
lice.
Harris Marad, who led the strik-
erson Thursday when the militia
charged them with drawn bayonets
was one OF those arrested. State In
spector Of Police Rooney, who made
the arrests, declared dynamite was
found hidden between joists under
the flooring Of room In a coffee
house where the strikers gathered.
Joseph Etter, leader Of the strik-
ers, came out in a statement after
the arrests, charging the planting
Of the explosive.
"The wool interests have honey
combed the city with private detec'
tives," Etter said "These men are
instructed to go to any length to dis
credit the workers who are striking
only for a chance to live, It will b.
shown that they knew nothing abou
the explosive, and that 1t was pIante,

MEASURING FLIGHT OF BIRDS
Song Thrush, Marked in Its Nest, Trav-
els 1,250 Miles In Few
Months.

Some of the results OF the Aberdeen
university bird migration are con-
tanned in a report just published. The
object of the work is to obtain specific
and accurate records of bird fights.
The method employed is to mark new
ly Matched or young chicks in the nest
in the hope of tracing their subse-
quent movements.
The longest fight recorded thus far
IN the inquiry was that OF song
thrush. 1t was marked when a chick
in nest at Skene, Aberdeenshire, in
early June, 1910. In early November
of the same year 1t was shot near
Leiria, Portugal, 1880 miles by direct
overseas route from its birthplace
How far 1t had travelled in the six
months of its life could only be
guessed at, but the investigators EST
mated that $500 miles would be well
within the possibilities.
Five lapwings were marked in their
nest in the northeast OF Scotland. Four
were shot In Ireland, in four different
counties. and the fifth was found In
southern Portugal. A guillemot was
marked as q newly Matched chick on
the Aberdeenshire cliffs. It was shot
eighteen weeks later, north OF Gothen-
burg, Sweden. A widgeon duckling
marked in the nest on Lock Brora.
Scotland, was taken in duck decoy in
Province Gronigen, northeastern Hol-
land, three months later.
The investigation possibly will add
little to the knowledge OF ornitholo-
gists, but 1t will present great collec.
ton OF authentic records showing how
quickly the Hedging tests his young
strength in overseas flights.

FIRST MINE ACCIDENT KNOWN
Skeletons Of Prehistoric Race Found
Under Rocks That Fell
Ages Ago.

One of the first mine accidents on
record has just been revealed at Ara
mon. in Spain. Here wac. copper
mine, worked by prehistoric man, not
without some display of science.
Instead of the usual horizontal en-
trance from the side of tho hill. per-
pendicular shafts were sunk, several
yards deep, to reach the veins Of
metal. Then narrow passages were
dug out following the veins.
But these miners of the stone age
had not advanced to the extent Of
knowing how to place props along the
workings. and cave-in killed fifteen
men. Several OF the skeletons were
lying under blocks of stone, and one
miner still grasped his stone axe, just
as he falling roof caught him, no one
thousands Of years ago
These prehistoric workmen OF un.
known race used stone axes and picks
made OF horns of animals. They
worked by the light of pine-knot
torches, stuck to the walls by Jumps
of mud.
They were tall men, and must have
been muscular to be able to use such
heavy tools, but must have been very
slim. since the passages were very
narrow.
One curious fact about them is re.
vealed by the finger prints, still re-
naming in the clay; the thumb was
nearly twice as large as in modern
man.
All Of which information has been
preserved by the fall Of rock which
sealed up this tomb In the dim past.

The boy sat very still All about
him were other boys swinging oall
bats. and cufflnk each others ears. but
that. the professor said, was only the
natural overflow OF animal spirits: the
quiet boy was too thoroughly stepped

tiny white blossoms topping a slender
stalk. The boy seemed very fond Of

the leaves and petals. and every touch
was soft and tender. But the pro-
