Town HAS ONLY ONE Citizen
Forest Ranger Sole mhabitsnt of De-
serted Mushroom Mining Camp
in State of Idaho

Boise, Idaho. Nov. 20.-W. c. Tay-
lor, of Silver Spring mountain, is in the
city ON business. Mr.. Taylor has spent
the past year in jail.
This statement, startling as it is,
carries with it no reproach, since the
Jail happens to be the present office of
the ranger station of the Boise forest at
Silver Mountain.
Mr.. Taylor has the unique distinction
of being the sole inhabitant of the de-
serted village of Graham, on top of
Silver mountain, about 50 miles from
Boise. He is Mayor, Council. jailer and
hotel keeper all in one. tine pooh bah
of the city.
Speaking of his peculiar quarters,
Mr.. TAYLOR said
The remains of the ephemeral min
ing camp of Graham consist of the ho,
tel, three saloons, smokehouse, the
old mill ana the Jail. All the other
buildings have fallen into decay. The
village is about thirty years old and
was of mushroom growth at best, eN-
cept the Jail, which was built of logs,
red with planed boards.

FIND TREASURE IN HARbOR
Hslf-barrel of Nickels and Small Silver
Coins Recovered From Water
at Los Angeles

Los Angeles. Nov. 20.-Wild excite,
ment prevailed IN the harbor district
when runners shat treasure trove had
been discovered at the bottom or the
channel in front of the scene Of the re
eent fire IN East San Pedro and several
hundred men engaged in searching for
coin. which was brought up by the
steam dredger.
Within 4 few minutes after the first
collection of coins were sent out
through the dredger tube everybody
who was not actually at work went TO
East San Pedro in hopes of obtaining
fOrtuRe. Altogether nearly half a
barrel of uiekelS and small silver
pieces were brought up from the depths
and for the rest of the day business
along Front street was booming.
Among the coins recovered were sew
eral Spanish silver pieces of the year
1905 and a Niearaguan gold piece val
ued at about $3.50. Where the coins
came from could not be aseertained.

All OF the money brought To tine sur
face bore the marks of having been
in the water for many years and the
coins were all badly corroded.
In addition to the coins brought out
OF the water. the dredger dislodged a
number of iron crosses, supposedly used
for burial purposes. The crosses were
almost falling to pieces from rust, and
it is thought that they were brought
10 this harOor many years ago TO sup
PLY the mission stations.
While no one believes that Terminal
Island will prove another Treasure Is

by the money sucked out OF the muddy
depths, and plans are being made to

A MINIMUM WAGE CASE IN COURT

The supreme court of the United States has
heard argument in defense of the Oregon minimum
wage law. The Survey makes statement of the
status of that question IN several Of the states. II
shows that the particular ease IN the court arose
out of the ruling of the Oregon commission which
set time rate for women employed in manufac-
ture in the city of Portland of not less than $S "a
a week of fifty hours,
Wage rates have been established by state com.
missions in Massachusetts Michigan, Minnesota and
Washington In Ohio the new constitution Of the
state provides that laws could be passed fixing aud
regulating the hours of labor and establishing a
minimum wage as we'll as providing for the com.
fort and health of employees
The commission appointed TO inquire about the
wages of women in department stores has not made
h report In Wisconsin the state commission is
about to announce rates and such commissions
have been at work in Indiana, Louisiana and Ne.
hraska.
One can see from this brief survey how very
important the case is that is pending in the su-
preme court of the United States Heretofore the
courts have usually held that adults have a right
to make such contract for their labor as they
please, but laws forbidding the employment OF
women after certain hours Of the night or in eH.
cess of a certain number of hours a week have
been held to he constitutional because they were
for the general welfare
But other laws limiting the hours which men
work and fixing the minimum for their work have
been decided both ways in various courts favor.
ably in the west, usually the contrary in the east
II is expected that the federal court will de-
termine two questions whether state constitu
tion AS it stands authorizes minimum wage laws
and whether any state may so frame its constiu
tion as to provide for such law and have that
constitution also conform to the federal organic
law
