MIXERS FIND RETAINS

The bones were found by. the girl
and boy while hiking southeast from
West Point inn, on the southwest
shoulder Of Tamalpais. 1t was at
point half a mile from the inn that
the body was found. The couple
were following one of the fire trails
made in the fight to save Muir woods.
The fragments were lying under a
clump of charred underbrush about
% feet from the trail. From the
heavy growth of underbrush at the
point it Is not believed the spot
could have been penetrated before
the fire, and this is a further indi-
cation that the remains tell Of
tragedy from the fire.

Lost Currency.

Many of our younger citizens have

and green fractional currency notes
issued during the Civil war, which
then took the place Of small silver.
The government made a profit on It,,

stroyed or lost, and by an act passed
in 1879 nearly nine million dollars of

and taken from the statement Of the
public debt. Now 1t is practically all
destroyed, barring specimens pre-
served by collectors. And yet the

March is for Extra Session.

AS the result of the conferences be-
tween President-elect Wilson and dem
ocratic leaders in congress during the
holidays, these features of the demo-
cratic legislative program have been
tentatively agreed upon:
Congress will be called in extraor-
binary session March Is to revise the
tariff. A complete scheme of tariff
revision will be laid before a caucus
of the democratic members of the
new house early next March by the
democratic members of the ways and
means committee.
This will include an income tax if
the constitutional amendment on this
subject has been ratified by three
fourths of the states, and an excise
tax If it has not. 1t will also in
clude the administrative features of
the new law embracing a substitute
for the present maximum and mini
mum clause. Any changes in the in.
ternal revenue taxes made necessary
by reductions in the customs tariff
also will be laid before the caucus.
The democratic caucus will decide
whether the schedules will be report
ed and passed by the house separ-
ately or as one bill.
