Tough On Iecx Rabbits

the agile jack rabbits, which, with ex-
ceptions here and there, have lost tn, ir
holes in the snow. The western bunny
is a far different animal from the willy
eastern rabbit. In the east where the
snow is frequent, the rabbits can find
their homes easily. Here the snow
sent thousands and thousands Of jacks
homeless, unable tolocate their holes
in the mantle of snow that covered the
valley to Marysville. Northern Elec-

that little groups of rabbits were seer

Southern Pacific in this case, who at
tended the sale as such attorneys, and
were accompanied by Mr.. Sherman, an
Interpreter representing the New Liv-

titled that he was not very familiar
with Mexican Spanish, and did not un-

The Southern Pacific company eX-

have been a part of Salton sea, and
there would have been no California

no New Liverpool Salt company; no

The Southern Pacific company had
been trying TO get back the money

Army on War Basis

WASHINGTON, Jan. i0.-Gathereo
at the war department by special order
of Secretary Stimson We're most of
the army officers in actual general COM
mand for conference which is ey-
pected to have important results in
shaping the future organization of the
army. The movement began last sum-
mer, when, after a years hard work
the war college evolved a scheme of
reorganization.
The commanding generals met after
careful study of the report to frame
drafts of bills and outline executive
orders.
The conference was called to order
by Secretary StimsOn, who in a few
words explained his reasons for de
string The officers to gather in Wash
ington while congress was in session,
and matters Of army legislation still
We're pending.
Brig. Gen. William CroZier, as pres
vited to address the meeting, ana out :
lined the radical changes proposed to
be made in the existing organization
of the army. The purpose, he said,
was to maintain a military establish
ment hereafter on a war basis, not in
The matter Of a number of troops, but
in the arrangement of commands and
the creation Of tactical units 50 that
a splendid mechanism will be available
ready to respond at moments notice
to the cal Of danger.
Thus, instead Of the present system
whereby the commander of military
department nnds himself with several
regiments of infantry at one point, as
many cavalry at another, a number of
seacoast defenses to care for, and lit
tie or no field artillery, one brigadier
general would be placed in charge Of
q complete brigade with its proper
complement of each branch of the
service which would be capable of
speedy concentration and utilization as
a brigade when required.
No attempt was made at the session
to discuss the complex program of re-
organization prepared by the war col
leSe, but this will follow at subsequent
meetings to be held at the war college

ATTORNEY IVES SCORES
JUDGE BOROWELLS LETTER

Attorney Eugene S. Ives has sent
the following telegram from Tucson to
the Los Angeles Times:
Tucson, Jan. S.-I have just seen
Judge Bordwell's statement in the EX-
aminer of Monday. the 9th. He refers
to two judgments, one for S9oC,OOO,
the other for S65O,000 obtained by the
Southern Pacific in Mexico, and says
.'the fact that these two judgments
had been secured in Mexico was kept
secret for a whole year and it is moth

This statement is simply without
foundation. | have been patient with
the processes of Judge BOrdwell for

caught in the machinery which was in

four toes on the foot. The youth was so

Railroad viii Paw Semi. Monthly

The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany will begin a policy Of paying
its employees semi-monthly on July 1.
The change will be Of material bene-
fit to the large working force Of the
system and there is general rejoicing
among them. The Pennsylvania
Officials say that as the laws of Penn
sylvania, Obi and Indiana require
payments TO employees 70 be made
twice a month, they intend TO volun-
tarily put the same policy in force
in other States in order to make the
methods of payment uniform. The
advantage of releasing one-half of
this sum every two weeks is appreci-
ated, both by the merchant and the
families Of the railroads workers.
The company officials say the charge
will cost it SITS, 600 a year.

ORIGIN OF woRD cHuTAuouA
Indian Name Designating the Place
Where 1.-The Child is Not Taken OUT

Indian Name Designating the Place
Where The Child is Not Taken OUT
A thOughless squaw. in the days
when the watering places of North
ern New York marked "stops-overs"
on Indian trails allowed her wobbly
legged infant TO fall into a lake, so
the story goes. The warrior-to-be
was rescued, il happened. The high
little lake south of Erie was named
on the spot, the place where the child
was taken out, and a new word await
ed its chance TO slip into the common
noun pages of Webster's. This is
how it came about. Twenty-Five years
ago the idea of putting some real
pedagogical push into the teaching of
Sunday School classes took hold of
Bishop John H. Vincent. A Bible
Training School was the thing. A
vacation camp institution was favored
from the start. In the way of a
natural beauty spot, the banks Of the
lake where the copper. colored baby
had given his parent such a freight
had no competitor that counted.
Chautauqua Institution was planted
and prOspered. Bishop Vicent went
on thinking. He saw a place for lee
lures on travel, government and pOpu-
lar science, as well as for instruction
in old time prophets and Sunday
School tactics. The first season S
eamp-meeting became great summer
university for adults. Just at this
stage, when Chautauqua had taken on
this great new definition, a sagacious
Westerner came along, tucked the

the greatest meaning that it will

were at least a thousand of these
Chautauqua scattered through the
small towns from Arizona to Ohio.
In 1912, through the magnanimOus
effort of Professor Paul NJ. Pearson
Of Swarthmore, the meaning of Chau-
tauqua came home to forty-One
towns in the East. This year the
fOrty-one town circle has admitted
sixty-one more. Now, in centres
where schools are not in session, an
