Moose Of Unequal Size Had Battied
Long, Years Ago In Alaskan
Woods.

Seattle, Wash.-A story OF woodland
tragedy not hard to read is told by a
pair of weather beaten interlocked
moose sntlers that Billy Kramer Of
Fairbanks, Alaska, has just brought
down and placed on view here. the
story being that of one moose who
died of cut throat, while the other
perished of starvation. The horns
were discovered on Hoppe creek. a
small tributary of Small Wood creek.
Part of the prongs were deeply buried
in the earth when found
One remarkable thing about the
horns is the peculiar structure of the
larger pair. which resemble those OF
a European elk or OF the ancient Irish
elk far more than they do set of
moose horns. In fact there is almost
no palmatton, while the prongs are
long and large. More singular still.
under the main beams, where the
palms should be. are a series of large
prongs. giving the horns a sort of
double deck appearance. and 1t was
these superfluous prongs that proved
the undoing of the larger moose. for
they caught and held the horns of his
antagonist in the struggle of years
ago.
The horns of the larger moose had
spread OF sixty-nine inches and each
horn had seventeen prongs. The other
set of antlers is forty-five inches in
spread. the shovels being broad and
fitting closely to the head. Each ant

ECZEMA DlsFlGuRED BABY

Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, his little
face was disfigured very much. We
hardly knew what he looked like. The
face looked like raw meat. We tied
little bags Of cloth over his hands to
prevent him from scratching. He was
very restless at night, his little face
itched.
I'VE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago. where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine OF the
two doctors without any result, we
read of the Cuticura Remedies, and
at once bought Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the
result. and after four weeks, the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has a
head of hair which is pride for any
boy Of his age. three years. We can
only recommend the Cuticura RENE
dies to everybody" (Signed) Mrs. II.

Claims More Easily Settled

For the purpose of expediting
business and getting closer to it's
customers through it's local rep
resentatives, the Southern Pa
cific company has issued orders
to many Of it's agents atthe prin-
cipal stations along the route Civ
ing. them authority to settle direct
with consignees on ordinary loss
and damage claims. At the pres
ent time the authority is extend
ed only to certain agents in the
more thickly settled territory.
Claims for shortage and damage
over which there is no dispute
and which do not exceed a given
amount can now be settled with
in a day or SO after they have
been filed with the agent.
Much correspondence is saved
and the delay that formerly re-
suited while the claims were be-
ing gone over in the general Of
fees of the company in San
Francisco is now eliminated.
This move is only one of a num-
Der recently inaugurated by the

California's Lemon Crop

California's lemon crop this
year will be one of the largest
since the culture Of that fruit was
first inaugurated in this state. At
the present time the lemon grow
ers Of the state estimate mini
mum crop of 5000 carloads. Up
to and including the last day of
February, 1341 carloads had al
ready been shipped this year and
the remainder of the crop will be
moved just as quickly as cars
can be provided. The usual loss
to the lemon crop each year on
account of frosts, was very small
in this state this season, and some
of the growers predict as heavy
a season as last year.
Since the season of 19O6-O7,
when 3507 carloads of California
lemons were shipped east, the
output has grown steadily until
but very few lemons now have
to be imported by this country.
During the last five years 26, ,208
carloads of lemons hove been
shipped out of California over
the lines of the Southern Pacific.
The average annual shipment is
about 5241 carloads and the mini
mum estimate of this years ship
ment is said to have been placed
quite low especially as last years S
business amounted to 6764 car
loads; another reason being that
the loss to the crop this year on
account of frost will be very light.
California can supply lemons
to every part of the United States
and it will not be necessary for
the Importation of any one case

Negro Holds On.

Despite every effort that has
been made to drive William H.
Lewis from his position of AS
sistant Attorney General, that
gentleman still holds the fort.
Mr.. Lewis is a negro and comes
from Massachusetts. He has the
entire confidence of Attorney
General Wickersham, and is very
highly regardedby the President.
At the time of his appointment
last summer, a determined effort
was made to prevent him from
entering upon the discharge of
his duties. The latest opposition
comes from the American Bar
Association, which proposes to
GUST Mr.. Lewis from member
ship. To this suggestion, Attor-
ner General Wickersham has
pointed out that there has been
a change in the executive com
mittee of the Association and if
Mr.. Lewis is to be thrown out on
account of his color, that he, Mr..
Wickersham, will resign his men,

Bell System Installed

In addition to the automatic
block signal system over the lines
Of the Southern Pacific there has
been installed for the further
protection Of passengers a bell
system for the regulation of the
speed of trains across the trestle
over Great Salt Lake. The device
is simple but it protects the pas
sengers on this costly piece Of
engineering work. The trestle
is twelve miles long and as a
train enters or leaves it, a bell is
rung in the station at Midlake.
Twelve miles per hour is the
speed limit for freight trains,
and twenty miles per hour for
passenger trains. The agent at
MidIake forwards a report of the
trains that pass over this long
bridge every day to the superin-
tendent Of the division and an
accurate record is kept in this
manner. The engineers taking
trains across the Lake have be-
come so proficient in regulating
the speed of their locomotives
that they now make the run in
precisely the allotted time and
are always on time into Ogden. !.
