FAMINE DEC|MAT|NG
AFRICAN OSTR|CHES
Drought and Food Needs Of
Horses Have Been Causes.

Cape Town, South Africa.-Ostriches
in South Africa are dying by scores be-
cause their food has been taken to feed
British cavalry horses. Besides the
withdrawal Of many thousands Of tons
Of alfalfa, which is the main food of
the ostriches during the winter, drought
has added to the scarcity of food.
1t is estimated that the farms in
South Africa, which are the principal
sources of supply Of ostrich feathers,
have lost 80 per cent of their adult
birds. Among young birds the mortal
ity has been still heavier.
Formerly markets for the buying Of
feathers were open daily in Cape prov
ince, but with the advent of the war
there was a complete cessation Of trade
exchange. It was only at the end Of
June Of this year that merchants re-
opened the markets. In the week end
ing July 5 $4,000 pounds were sold.
This was considered a record week.
and it was Immediately followed by a
trade slump, which resulted in the clos
ing of the markets. They have since
been opened only a few days in each
week. and the sales have been sluggish

LAST TRIP IN SEARCH
OF A LOST GOLD MINE
-
II Unsuccessful ProSpector
Will Give 1t Up.

New Westminster, B. c. Wilbur
Armstrong, a Washington prospector
of seventy-two, plunged into the noun
tains Of Pitt range recently on his
tenth trip in search of Slumagh's mine.
For ten years Armstrong has made this
pilgrimage every summer, but this, he
says, will be the last if it proves as
barren as the others.
Armstrong is not the only man who
has headed search parties in the at
tempt to locate this hidden treasure,
whose location is asserted to be within
twenty miles of the head Of Pitt lake,
yet which has been discovered by but
one man, who is now dead, since Stu
magh, the Indian after whom it is
named, was hanged in the jailyard at
New Westminster in 1891.
Walter Jackson. the second discOv-
erer, PANIED out thousands Of dollars
worth of gold in a few days when he
located it in 1901. Burying the main
part of his 'reasure. he came out with
dust and nuggets to the value Of $4,000.
intending to return and stake claims at
his leisure. But he fell sick and, being
about to die. bethought him of Andrew
Hall, who had grubstaked him at Guy
tos many years before. He wrote to
Hall and drew a chart. Hall. finding
himself in need of money in the Yu-
kon, sold the letter and chart to a
cousin of Armstrong. to whom the doc
uments finally came.
Jackson's description of his find.
which is in a creek in a canyon to
which there is no outlet except by an
underground channel, says in part:

welfare Of thousands Of human beings
depended upon his decisions Or whims.
1t was a big story for Colorado-the
coming of young Rockefeller into the
very heart Of the civil war" zone, into
the places where the state militia in
protecting his property had engaged in
sanguinary battles with the workers.
The third party in interest-the inno-
cent public-had got heartily sick Of
both the strikers and the Rockefeller
folk. But the hatred was there.
The thing perhaps that did more
to win Colorado's friendship than all
his other activities was that dancing
stunt at the Cameron mining camp
Everybody who read a daily newspa-
per in Colorado knew all about it next
morning. - ..E':t.
And when the populace awOke to
learn that he note only suggested the
dance himself, that he not only danced
single dance, but broke up his whole
program in order to dance long into
the night with the miners wives and
daughters, all classes opened their
arms and welcomed John D., Jr., as
ColoradO's own.
The Denver Post printed on its front
page an open letter to MIR. Rockefeller
in part as follows:
1.-THE people and the Post believe
that your visit to Colorado marks an
important epoch in the industrial his

and you have tremendously excited our
personal interest in you and respect

"You have really opened the eyes Of
the entire Rocky mountain region. You
have acted so we'll your part In so
modest, unassuming and manly a way;
you have so greatly pleased your
friends and chagrined and disappoint-
ed your enemies that the people Of
northern Colorado now want to make
your welcome into the state practically
unanimous.
"And after all, Mr.. Rockefeller, each
man in this world is his brothers

men of the country, as one Of the
richest men in the country, you have
tremendous opportunities and tremen-

and hope you are going to fill In a
great and Christian-liHe way.

lutte you as one of the greatest pos
sibilities and assets Of the younger

LAUGHS SELF TO DEATH.
Victim Forced to Leave Dinner, Found
Dead on Lawn.


Patchogue, N. Y.-During a dinner OF
the Jeffersonian Democratic club al
Avery's hotel, ON the beach at Blue
Point. William P. Gardiner, a promi
nent resident Of this place, strangely
disappeared.
Mr.. Gardiner laughed so immoderate
ly at jokes that were passing about
the table that he had to leave the ia
BILE. He walked on the veranda, and
then the merrymakers forgot all about
him.
When he had not returned to his
home his wife made inquiries. His
friends recalled that he had left the
table, but they had not seen him after
that. A search was begun, and his
body was found In a flower bed on
the hotel lawn.
Coroner e. s. Moore of Bayshore or.
dered an autopsy, and it was found
that he had died of heart disease; that
probably his heart was not strong
enough to stand the strain Of his con-
tinued and hearty laughing.

Job, Sixty Years Ago.
Tarrytown, N. Y.-Sixty years ago
John D. Rockefeller took his first job,
and when the old mans attention was
called to the fact it was evident that
he had been thinking Of the old days
and that first job. for he had facts and
figures at his fingers ends.

"And suppose then you got a

"Well, the rest speaks for ITSELF" he
replied.
Mr.. Rockefeller appeared to take
much pleasure in thinking Of the old
days and that first job. He gave the
reporter the impression that any young
man who was willing to work and was
thrifty would get along in the world.

The Legislative Lobby.

Chippewa Falls Independent: The
Wisconsin Legislature of 1915 recalled
the old days when the corporations
were in power. Some of the most noted
lobbyists in the state kept open house at
the Park. They were open and brazen
in their dealings and very successful.
The secretary of state is beginning to
check up the amount of money they
spent, and curiously enough in the
amount of good things they got. The
insurance companies alone spent 3d.
274.52 and the records show they got

FINDS DISEASE PERIL
IN SWIMMING POOLS
Health Board Warns BatherS
of Polluted Water.

Westinghouse swimming pool, says
the United States public health serv-
ice, may become polluted and trans
NIT disease.
Ninety-One large municipalities in the
United States have established public
swimming pools to meet the desire
for knowledge of swimming. The pub
lie health service publishes an article
by DR.. Wallace A. Manheimer Of Co
lumbia university on the results OBJ
tanned from an examination Of six
pools.
1t Is pointed out that in swimming
in polluted water typhoid fever, con-
junctivitis and other diseases may be
contracted. The report gives in detail
the results of the bacterial analyses
made of the various pools and also of
the effects of refiltration and chemical
diSinfectiOn.
When the water is unfiltered it is
apt to be cloudy, thereby making the
danger of accidental drowning very
great. When refiltratiOn is practiced
the water becomes clear and this dan
ger is obviated.
The report concludes that the cubic
capacity Of a pool affects it's sanitary
condition, that the process of adding
dilution water is an efficient means of
reducing the number of bacteria and
that supervision of the health Of at
tendants is an important factor.
The combination of refiltration and
disinfection by the use of calcium
hypo-chlorite renders the sanitary con-
ditions of the water excellent. says DR..
