Such things are injurious to the develop

even worse | am told, for instance, that
the notaries public sometimes issue papers
to themselves for the same properties con-
corning which they are paid to get titles for
others, and antedate their own claims. Ii
the mines turn out good, they can then
claim prior titles Another method is to
leave some important clause out SO as to
furnish a ground for a suit as to defect of
title, and third way is to forge false papers
and claims | know of many mines of value
in Bolivia now in the hands of foreigners
that are costing their owners much to de-
fend Them and it certainly behooves all
Americans coming here to invest in mineral
properties to take these matters into con-
sideration.
The new laws if they can be passed, will
remedy many such evils One of these has
already been enacted. 1t provides that the
contestant to a mining claim must deposit
$500 with the government to show the good
faith of his suit, and that this is to be forfeit
ed in case he cannot make good. Another
law provides that the annual dues and fees
for holding the title to a mine must be all
paid by the 3lst of December of each year.
In the past such dues have been allowed to
run on and the mining title be considered
good if they were paid in lump. In fact,
man might have taken out a claim to a prop
erty rs years ago and paid only for his first
papers. Every one would suppose the title
to have lapsed, and another claimant, taking
it up and working it, might then find that
the first claimant had at last paid his back
dues as whole, and that his original title
was good. This new law will prevent any
such action and will put Bolivia on a sound
mining investment basis.

AT THE GREAT SAN JoAO RANCH
Continued from Page Two.)

Among the marsh plants were fields and
strips of the great caete rush. These caete
flags lowered above the other and lesser
marsh plants. They were higher than the
heads of the horsemen. Their two or three
huge banana-like leaves stood straight up
on end. The large brilliant flowers--orange,
red and yellow-were joined into singu-
larly shaped and solid string or cluster.
Hummingbirds buzzed round these flow
ers; one species, the sickle-billed hummer,
has its bill especially adapted for use in
these queerly shaped blossoms and gets its
food only from them, never appearing
around any other plant.
The birds were tame, even those striking
and beautiful birds which under mans per-
secution are SO apt to become scarce and
shy. The huge jabiru storks, stalking
through the water with stately dignity,
sometimes refused to fly until we were only
a hundred yards off; one of them flew over
our heads at distance of 80 or 40 Yards
The screamers, crying curu-curu, and the
ibises, wailing dolefully, came even closer
The wonderful hyacinth macaws, in twos
and threes, accompanied us at times for sew
eral hundred yards lowering over our heads
and uttering their rasping screams.
In one wood we came on the black bowler
monkey The place smelled almost like
menagerie. Not watching with sufficient
care | brushed against sapling on which
the venomous fre-ants swarmed. They
burnt the skin like red hot cnders, and left
little sores. More than once in the dryer
parts of the marsh we met small caymans
making their way from one pool to another.
My horse stepped over one before | saw it.
The dead carcasses of others showed that
on their wanderings they had encountered
jaguars or human foes.
We had been out about three hours when
one of the dogs gave tongue in a large belt
of woodland and jungle to the left of our line
of march through the marsh.
Spearing Peccary.
The other dogs ran to the sound, and after
a while the long barking told that the thing,
whatever it was, was at bay or else in some
refuge. We made our way toward the place
on foot The dogs were baying excitedly
at the mouth Of huge hollow log, and very
short examination showed us that there
we're two peccaries within, doubtless boar
and sow. However, just at this moment
the peccaries bolted from an unsupported
opening at the other end of the log, dove
into the tangle, and instantly disappeared
with the hounds in full cry after them.

1t was 20 minutes later before we again
heard the pack baying With much diff
Guilty, and by the incessant swinging of the
machetes, we opened trail through the net
work of vines and branches This time
there was only one peccary, the boar. He
was at bay in half-hollow stump The
dogs were about his head, raving with ex-
element, and it was not possible to use the
rifle; so l borrowed the spear of Doutor
Joao, the younger, and killed the fierce little
boar Herewith
This was collared peccary, smaller and
less fierce than its white-lipped kinsfolk. 1t
is valiant and truculent little beast, never
theless, and if given the chance will bite
piece the size of teacup out Of either man
or dog. 1t is found singly or in small par
ties, feeds on roots, fruits, grass and some
times snakes and insects, and delights to
make its home in hollow logs. If taken
young, it makes an affectionate and enter
tanning pet When the two were in the hol-
low log, we heard them utter a kind of
moaning, or menacing, grunt, long drawn.
An hour or two afterward we unexpect-
edly struck the fresh tracks of two jaguars
and at once loosed the dogs, who tore off
yelling, on the line of the scent.
A Tropical Downpour
Unfortunately, just at this moment the
clouds burst and deluge of rain drove in
our forces. So heavy was the downpour
that the dogs lost the trail and we lost the
dogs. We found them again only owing to
one of our caboclos, an Indian with a queer
Mongolian face, and no brain at all that
could discover, apart from his special deal
ings with wild creatures, cattle and horses.
He rode in a huddle of rags; but nothing
escaped his eyes, and he rode anything any
where.
The downpour continued so heavily that
we knew the rodeo had been abandoned,
and we turned our faces for the long, drip
ping, splashing ride homeward. Through
the gusts of driving rain we could hardly
see the way Once the rain lghtened, and
half mile away the sunshine cleaned
through a rift in the leaden cloud-mass.
Suddenly in this rift of shimmering bright
ness there appeared flock of beautiful
white egrets With strong, graceful wing
beats the birds urged their flight, their
plumage flashing in the sun. They then
crossed the rift and were swallowed in the
gray gloom Of the day.

The Day of Peace
(By Thomas Speed Mosby)


'Tis coming yet, though dimly seen
Beyond the clouds where cannon roar
"A day shall know no more rapine,
And wars rude note be heard no more.
For Love hath lit her beacon bright,
And Learning that doth still expand
Shall in the future spread her light
To vanquish yet the mailed hand
In that fair golden distant time
1t may be far, it may be near
Eternal peace, shall bless each cline.
Nor more shall fall the needless tear.
The soldier shall not need to die
And sink to nameless bloody grave,
Nor ever more to arms shall fly,
Beloved fatherland to save
To all the lesson shall be press'd
That he who would his country give
The gift that is esteemed the best
Should for her strive to rightly live
Whate'er the cause Of nations war,
The brave, the good, the true that fall
Viii all the gains Of vict'ry mar
The blood of man outweighs them ALL
For ev'ry triumph wrought in strife
OF sabre clash and battle din
The cost is paid in human life,
For death is still the wage Of sin
The widows wall, the orphans cry,
The aftermath of bloody days,
Though wave the victor's plume on high,
Shall stifle ev'ry power to praise.
The world is builded out of peace;
The grandest triumphs ever won
Are wrought when armies give surcease,
And war its bloody course has run
Times sweetest offspring and the best
Will be the day when men shall know
That wars red fever is at rest
And its fierce flames no longer glow

Community Exhibits at the Fair

The county fair management Will
this year, upon the recommendation
of the Lynden Commercial Commit
tee, offer one or more cash prizes
for the best community exhibits OF
farm products, and it is believed the
farmers and fruit growers OF the
county will become enthusiastic ov-
er the opportunity to advertise the
products of their various localities.
1t is hoped that the competition
will be keen and that every district
will be represented. The COMMITTEES
has recommended that Lynden be
eliminated from the contest.
Cash prizes are proposed rather
than silver cups or other similar ar
ticles, in order that the winners may
devote the money to the purchase OF
books for library, for rural enter
tainments, to bring lecturers to their
districts, or for some purpose that
would benefit the community.
This years fair dates, as an
nounced in last weeks Tribune, are
fixed for September 80, October l,
and 8, and the fair management
proposes to make the 1914 exhibit
ton the best ever held in Whatcom
county. To this end they ask The

The Inequality of the Law.

Surely angels must weep and de-
wills must laugh as they contemplate
the CHASTITY travesty called Justice
as it relates to the system Of flnes
and balls in vogue in our courts OF
law. Law the maj estic symbol OF
justice and truth and righteousness
perverted from it's Legitimate pur-
pose and made to serve IS shield
for the rich and powerful, and an
oppressor of the poor and weak.
II such an abortion OF legal pro-
cedure is the best product OF our
boa sted Christian civilization, then
may God save US from such CIV
ilization Primitive justice, rs met
ed out by barbarians, so-cslled, is
in it's essential justice vastly super
Tor to this.
Let us hope that some law-mak-
er in our legislature, state or ma
tional, may propose to himself the
noble task of securing such remedi-
al legislation as shall eliminate This
legal anachronism from oar sys-
TEN of court procedure.

system, Col. Roosevelt discussing
the communication of the sentences OF
Banker Chss. w. Morse, and Heike
and other sugar trust officials, who
under his administration were tried
and convicted, and afterward par
doned by then President Taft, says;
The communication of these SELL
fences amounts TO a direct Interior

The following article from The

some timely and pertinent comments
on the remarks of Judge Scully. of

quality of the law. Theoretically all
men are equal before the law. In
its practical application there is
gross and vicious discrimination.
The indicator says:
Judge Scully of the Chicago mu-
nicipal court has recently been say
ing some things about our system of
administering justice which are
highly commendatory of his common
sense. He is particularly dissatisfi-
ed with our system of assessing

of procedure in these matters are

will be willing to admit that there
is something outrageously vicious
about them.

them a man of wealth or well to
do and the other a laborer, are

an innocent man with months Of

A Mighty Good Suggestion.

At a recent meeting of the county
assessors of the state Albert E. Par
IRISH. assessor of King county, stated
that it was not so much the fault OF
the assessor that taxes were hlgh,
but that the taxpayers We're them
selves largely to blame for not scru-
tinizing more carefully the approprl-
ations made by their representatives
and themselves in bond issues.
One very material increase in the
taxes of residents of Lynden and
Ten Mile districts is the levy occa-
stoned by the building of the Bell
ingham-Hannegan road. Efforts are
being made to prevent the Work De-
ing done. but the county commits
sioners claim that they are power
less in the matter and must pro-
coed with its construction. 1t Is
true that the protests were made al
ter the preliminaries had been under
taken, but many people interested In
the matter believe that some way
could vet be devised to prevent This
additional and unnecessary taxation.
That at least it could be stayed I'M
Ill the taxpayers have had recover
ed from the shock of other burden

Nevertheless. there is truth in MI
Parrish's contention. If those who
are now opposing the building OF
the Hannegan road had appeared
before the commissioners at the
proper time, their protests would
have had the desired effect. The
King County assessor very proper
ly suggests that taxpayers should
be alert To proposed tax levies Tor
any purpose whatsoever, and then
timely appear in person or by quail
flied representatives before the leg
islature. county commissioners Or
other tribunals having taX-creating
functions, and there most vigorous
ly insist that appropriations be I'M

poses, capably and economically ad-
