Contents of Order.
In the order removing the members of
the Tribal Council. dated January .,
1913. to which Secretary Fishers name
is appended, appears the following para
graph: TT Is not necessary that I should
assign the reasons for this action, but
in order that these reasons may be
known by all the members Of the Usage
tribe and all others interested. I state
as the reason for my action that the

to this order has shown by things il has

The members OF the council sent a
reply to this statement to Secretary
Fisher. to the effect that on investiga-
ton they became convinced that many
Of the 273 Indians who had signed the
petition did not understand what they
had signed. and the council then fixed
January of this year as the day on
which a hearing would be held. Before
this day came around Secretary Fisher
issued the order removing the council.

Asphalt In Antiquity.

That asphalt was known to the an.
clients is well attested fact, says Sci
eice, its use as a binder for masonry
in Babylon being in point, but of its use
other than this we known nothing,
Strabo tells us that as early as 2O0O
B. @. the streets of Babylon were paw
ed, and so, too, presumably were the
great roads leading out from the many
gates of that city. Babylon was stu
ated in the alluvial plain of Mesopo-
tamia, and its building material was al
most entirely clay, either as such or
in the form Of bricks. 1t seems rather
doubtful that these latter were used to
pave the streets at that early date AS.
phalt was abundant and much used in
building operations, and it does not
seem improbable that it was utilized
to improve the streets.
