Joseph NJ. Reig, who had the con-
cession for the Roundup programs
that were used in the grand stand
and bleachers last fall, is now in the
city having just arrived from the

Roundup in many places and says
there is great interest taken in the
show even among people far away
from the west. He declares much
good advertising came from the mail
ing out of the souvenir programs
which he got out. However he eX-
presses regret over the fact that 1000
extra programs which he had left and
turned over to the Roundup directors
were not mailed out. He believes
they would have served to call the

kins. w. Va, has petriffed human
head which he intends to submit to
the Smithsonian Institution. 1t was
found in a car of coal at Thomas, w.
Va. and was doubtless biased from
a coal vein.
The head is thought to he that of
a Young Indian warrior. There is a
cash over the right temple extending
to the back of the skull, almost four
inches in length. The Indian was
evidently killed in battle with some
sharp edged weapon, because the ma
ture and location of the cash, are
such that right-handed man could
have inflicted it from the front only
The body was either buried or sank
of its own weight in peat bog.

GEOLOGIST RAPS
Use OF DIVIN|NG
ROD ASA FAKE
Head of U. S. Survey Here De-
clares That Science Has No
Patience with Methods En-
pioyed by Rev. Mr.. Mason,
Now in HaWai;;-CaIIS Them
Menace to Community

That men who claim, as does the
Rev. Mr. H. Mason, now on the Is
land of Lanai, seeking fresh sources
of water supply, to discover under
ground water by means OF the divin-
ing rod, or through any mysterious
gift, are raw fakes and as such are a
menace to the community in which
they operate is the opinion &. G. X.
Larrison, head of the United States
Geological survey in this territory,
In an interview this morning Mr.. Lar
rison said:
You can say for me and for the
United States Geological survey, which
has had considerable experience in
hunting for underground water all
over the continent and in the terri
tories, that any man who claims, by
nome peculiar instrument or feeling
that he can find underground water is
an unqualified fake. ~ z"
The divining rod is fake pure and
simple, and it is little less than alb.
surd to find men, business men, sup
posedly gifted with brains enough to
administer large business affairs, put
ting their trust in such men anG con-
triyances. The fallacy of the divinine
rod has been proven so many times
that it is hardly worth while to attacH
it again, were it not for the presence
on Lanai of this man Mason.
Have Nose For Water
Let me explain. There are men
who through long years of experience
in connection with finding and de
veloping underground water supplies,
have naturally acquired an aptitude,
or nose for water. In the vast ma
jority of cases underground wi:-cr is
found in certain typographical and
geological conditions. These con,
ditions have been noted for many
years and a man familiar with them
naturally will size up a locality In
which underground water may be
found. more quickly than an untrain
ed man.
1T is possible that some of these
water witches men with this expert
ence are self deceived, Indeed | be
lieve in a large number of instances
they size up localities and make theil
finds unconsciously using the expert
ence they have acquired. 1t is quite
likely that Mr.. Mason is case in
point.

THE jim CROW LAW AGAIN.

Down in Mcdowell county the Dem.
ocratic convention declared in favor
OF Jim Crow law for this State,
which shows the real Democratic sen
timent. AS matter OF policy none
OF their conventions have YET de-
clared in favor OF the disfranchise-
ment OF the negro voter but that Is
their plan nevertheless.
Every time we read such reports
and think OF this issue We are COM
PEELED TO smile at the criticism OF the
Times over what 1t termed the dis
reimbursement OF some 300 colored
voters, why bless your souls. the Re-
pubicans have never yet attempted
to disfranchise a colored voter. What
the Republicans OF Fairmont district
objected to was allowing them to vote
Democratic ticket in Republican
convention. The Democrats have sue
cessfully DISTINGUISHED thousands Of
them in the South ever since they
were allowed to vote, but what's the
use 10 refer to that, every body knows
that.
