 Inquiry has been made of late as to how long Charles S. Mellen could stand the batteries that are being trained upon him by Louis D. Brandeis through the Washington authorities, the New York World and the New York American. The Boston News Buraeu reports that last week MT. Me11en, under the advice of his doctor friends, took physical examination from specialists as to his condition. The report was that at sixty-two years of age, c. s. Mel1en was in ex- ceIlent physical condition, no harden ing of the arteries, no trouble with the valves of the heart and no part of his organization in any way affected. The doctors said that not one man Of his age in a thousand could show such results from physical examination. Yet for more than thirty years MT. Mellen has been in the harness early and lates in perfect treadmill of work, and has never known. fear nor favor in give or take. He has never sought personal gain from any position he ever held, has never fixed his compensation ex- cept to reduce it and has worked for even handed justice.'' While not ap- proving all the acts of his board he has been absolutely loyal to it. While criticising the growing inefhciency of labor and labor organizations he has paid the highest wages and endeav- ored to get the best labor. He has made the mistake of believing that the public would see his work for the re- building and upbuilding of New Eng land and would some day appreciate it. He is a man of wonderful fore sight and builds for the future, but he probably did not foresee the present 1 time when newspapers would endeavo1 1 to build up circulation with the ma jorities by attacking corporations own l ed by the minorities or when mer I would seek to get and hold office bJ l charging the heaviest workers in the l nublic service with neglect and crinni nal intent, nor did he foresee the time 1 when the object of labor unions would be to multiply the wages of the inem cienf-

NEW BIDS WANTED

The government has refused to
accept bids received under the ad-
vertisement of Oct. "a, 1912 for
carrying mails on star routes from
Monterey to Staunton and from
Monterey to Barlow and the De-
partment has re-opened the matter,
asking for additional bids on these
routes until March IS, 1918.
Notices to this effort are posted
at the Monterey postofice for the
information of persons who may be
interested.
At present Uncle Sam is paying
$500 a year for service on the
MISREPRESENTATION line. The re-
cent bids are said to range from
So 900 to $4,000.
As the route from Monterey to
Warm Springs is not included in
the last list sent out, the presump-
ton is that a satisfactory bid has
been received on that line.

TOO FOND OF MUTTON

The mysterious foe that has been
preying on the sheep folds made its
presence known again last week by
killing some sheep fot the Hull
brothers, near Vanderpool, and
three goats for I. L. Beverage,
seriously wounding two others.
The supposition still prevails
that the depredations are the work
of wild cats or catamounts, though
the cut-throat methods of the ami
NAL suggests the possible presence
of an old time mountain wolf, sup
posed to be extinct hereabouts.
The unusual winter-there being
no snow of any consequence tends
to more effectually conceal its iden-
tity, since no tracks are left de-
noting his kind, or by which he
may be tracked to his hiding place.
Most of the losses so far reported
are confined to the Monterey val
ley, and in the aggregate amount
to something like 500.
Since bruin took back seat in
the mountains no such depreda-
tons have been expected or expert
enced, and while this 1913 marau-
der may not amountto real men
ance, sheep, growers are impatient
to make his acquaintance and
