PearIy Treasures of Many Varieties
Line the Beaches.
The shores Of the Bahama islands
are each day strewn with multitudes Of
beautiful seashells, more than fifty va
rieties of which have a commercial
value in the United States and Europe.
Among these are rice shells, so tiny
In size as to make one marvel how a
sufficient number could be picked up to
fill barrel; gold shells, mud shells,
cookies, bleeding tooth; pretty decora-
tive sun shells, eardrop shells, which
are exported to Odessa, Russia, to be
used as ear pendants; Panama or tent
shells, which resemble miniature en-
campments and sell at 800 barrel;
black snails, which take high polish;
conchs-king, queen, ivory, pinklip and
trochus or Turks cap. locally termed
"whelks." These are but few of the
assortment kept in stock at the leading
warehouses at Nassau.
The queen conch, which is especially
adapted for cameo carving on account
Of having layer Of brown with
white top and the pinklip conch, which
has layers of white and pink, are much
sought for. Only the lips Of these two
varieties are exported, the demand
coming from New York and from Tore
del Greco, near Naples, Italy.
Ordinary conchs sell at l cent; pink
lip, whole shells, from cents to %
cents, and queens at 80 cents United
States currency in Nassau. The whelk
or Turks cap is particularly valuable,
as it has portion resembling the best
mother-of-pearl. from which pearl
studs, for instance, could be made.
1t is estimated that million shells
of this variety could be obtained annu-
ally in this colony. These shells sell
for ~ cents each. Labor is cheap,
colored women receiving from % to 30
cents, ordinary Laboring men 60 cents
and white engineers $3.50 a day.-In-

extremely low consumption of gasoline. 1t has
been termed the low up-keep' carburetor.

When you buy an automobile you buy
two kinds of service. First service
given and guaranteed by the car itself.
Second:-The service given by the maker
and the dealer while the car is in use.
The service the Maxwell car gives is
known. $4,000 satisfied Maxwell owners
have given the car the rough and tumble acid
test of fully eighteen months service. The
Maxwell has shown that it is able to stand
up under the severest use. In cities, over
country roads, through mud and sand and up
the steepest mountains, the 1915 Maxwell
has made good for $4,000 owners.

COUNT DECISION
FAVORED 0RCUTT
JUDGE STEELE HANBED DOWN
OPINION Affecting COUNTY
PRINTING COHTRACT
Important Ruling MaAe-CaeaTmatel
County Case-Old Beard Cannot
Bind New Board on Contract

AS a matter of reason as well as
law, no board of county commission
4ers has the authority to consumate
county printing contracts for a period
longer than the term which they hold as
pa1baic officials and under such ruling
cannot within reason bind an lncom-
ing or newly elected board by con-
tracts made, the very nature OF which
should come under the supervision OF
new administration. This opinion
was contained in decision just hand
ed down by District Judge Edgar =.
Steele in the matter of the appear
from the board of county commission
ers of Clearwater county concerning
the county printing.
The facts concerning the printing
contracts are reviewed by Judge Steele
in which it is shown from the evidence
submitted that the cid county board
had let a contract for the county print
ing to the Orofino Publishing company
for the years 1913 and 1914. A new
board was elected in November, 1914,
the members being elected to qualify
on the second Monday in January
which was the 18th day of January,
1915. On January 8, 1915, the old board
entered into a contract with the Oro- |
fino Publishing company for the sue
oeeding year for the county printing

Silliman notified the state department

on that date the old board would have
been dissolved by operation of law Or
January Il, 1915, the new board o1
county commissioners ignored the con-
tract made by the cid board and en-
tered into contract with P. l.. Orcutt
for the county printing. Extracts OF
the opinion by Judge Steele follow:
''The only question that the court
desires to consider is as to whether q
board of commissioners whose term is
about to expire, can enter into a con-
tract for the county printing for a
period which is entirely within the
term for which the new board has been
elected.
eff the old board can enter into such
a contract and bind the county thereby
for one year, why may it not enter in
to contract for five years, or longer,
and bind the county for several sue
cessive terms of different boards of
commissioners?
s'The Court is of the opinion that a
Board of Commissioners just retiring
from office have not the right, and
should not have the right to enter in
to such contract, where the con-
tract is to be wholly performed during
the term of office of the new board,
and thus bind the county for perhaps
several years in advance The respon-
sibility for properly handling the af-
fairs of Clearwater County after Jam
uary 1fth, 1915, must rest upon the
new board. The Board of Commits
sioners of Clearwater County, which
was about to be dissolved under opera
ton of law, did not have authority ON
into contract with the OrOfinO Pub
fishing company concerning the county
printing thereof for another year, SO as
to tie the hands Of the new board of
County Commissioners, which met and
on the Second Monday of
January of that year, being only three
days after the 9Th of January, the
date of the contract complained of. 1t
is matter of general publicity that
in THE election of County Commission
srs the selection of the official news
paper and the letting of the County
printing of the county enters more or
ess into the contest. The views .od
he candidates for commissioners as to
what newspaper shall be design ated
he official paper of the county, often
determines the result. When the Ie
uIt of the election is legally declared
he will of the majority ought to be
heerfulIy and promptly acquiesced in
t does not seem just or fair for the !
Id board, just as it is going out of |
ffioe, to forestall the new board in |
he designation OF the official news !
,aper of the county. There are no
GOD reasons why the old board should
e permitted ito tie the hands of the
ew board In such matter, and there
re manifold and manifest reasons why
ney should not have that power"
In conclusion the court quotes de-
isions bearing on similar cases which
phold his opinion and holds that the
,tion of the board on January IL, 1915,
ON which the appeal was taken, is
ffirmed.
