No. in the series was from Mayor
a. r. Albee Of Portland, Oregon. No.
z is from Mayor c. N. Fassett Of Spo-
kane, Washington.
Mr.. Fassett was elected one Of Spo-
kane's city commissioning when the
commission form Of government was
first adopted BY that city five years
AGO. He ASSUMED the duties OF COM
missioner Of public utilities, and has
since been chosen mayor.
Among the mainland mayors from
whom letters will soon be published
are the executives of Tacoma, Wash,
Lynn, Mass, and Indianapolis. Ind.
The Spokane charter provides that
the commissioners themselves select
one OF their own number TO act as
mayor. The commission form of gov
ernment has been Immensely success
fuI in Spokane, doing away with many
abuses which formerly existed, and
saving considerable sums for the tax
payers. Mr. Fassett has visited In
Honolulu number of times, and is
very fond OF this city. He has been
president OF the Spokane chamber OF
commerce
1T Is q big problem to formulate a
new charter, and IL Is difficult for one
not In touch with local conditions to
advise" writes Mr.. Fassett to the
Bulletin, under date of July 81.
aThe problem of any American city
Is always more or less different from
that OF any other city--so much de-

That is, we must presume that we
will have honest administrators. The

THREE GOOD HEARTY EATERS
One Puts Away Case of Beer, Another
Absorbs 27 Bananas and Third
Surrounds Huge Melon.

Clio, Mich.-If restaurants and soft
drink counters here should display
placards with the business drawing
slogans; "All you can eat for a quar-
ter" or All you can drink for nickel"
they would soon be forced to go into
bankruptcy, as this village has four
men who are likely candidates for
statewide fame in competitive eating
contests.
One demonstrated to strangers that
he had storage tank in his physical
makeup in which he could store a case
of beer with ease inside of an hour,
and for their enlightenment he taxed
the strangers $50 as a bet.
Another ate 81 bananas when re-
quired to eat "a to pay for what he
ate. The third got on the outside of
90-pound watermelon, except for the
rind and seeds, accompanied by other
foods which go to make up balanced
ration for mans dinner.

take possession.
He was finally persuaded to go into
town and sign papers giving Mr..
Brown authority to sell the property

has even been able to fathom the
cause of the estrangement between
father and son.

GAME BIRDS ARE SCARCE
Few CoVeys Remain on Prairies
Where Once There Were
Many Thousands.

Sabetha, Kan.-Thirty years ago the
prairies of Nemaha county were pop
ulated with coveys of quail and flocks
of prairie chickens. Professional hun
ters came from the river cities and
killed them for market.
These destroyers counted it a poor
days work of 200 birds. These were
drawn when killed and shipped daily.
On the city markets the chickens
brought 50 a dozen and the quail 81.
The chickens have been eXterminated
from the county and a farmer who
possesses a covey of quail these days
CONSIDERS them so valuable as insect
destroyers that he prosecutes hunters
who even scare the birds.
In those days the quail in the month
of September gathered in droves and
migrated. They were very tame and
quiet when in numbers. They walked
or ran as q rule, so that the weakest
were not lost. Bird lovers in those
days tried 10 protect the young, but
the professional hunters slaughtered
them even with clubs.

MAKES ALLIGATOR USEFUE
carried Line Through Sewer That
Had Become CIogged in
Florida Town.

Wauchula, F1a.-Capt. B. r. King,
superintendent of the Fort Meade
waterworks, was in town recently and
showed picture of the only working
alligator in Florida. Some time ago
one Of the sewers OF Fort Meade be-
came clogged up. 1t was 400 feet
from manhole to manhole, and the
sewer was 20 feet below the surface
and in quicksand.
1t looked as though the city was in
for an expensive job. The captain con-
ceived the idea of getting an alligator,
tying a line to him and letting him
work his way through the sewer. At
first an 1S-inch alligator was tried.
He went nearly 200 feet and turned
back.
Then four-foot gator was OBJ"
tanned, and he worked his way from
manhole to manhole, carrying the line
with him, after which the cleaning OF
the sewer was simple matter.

SECRET UNVEILED BY STORM
Crust of Earth Is Torn Away on San
Nicholas Island Exposing
Ancient Burial Place.

Los Angeles.-To the heavy storms
which swept the channel islands in
June, 1914, science owes the remark
able discoveries now made public nv
Doctor Alliot. Terrific gales and
sweeping seas tore away the fimsv
crust which for ages had been gather
ing above the ancient burial ground
at the northern extremity of San
Nicholas island and more than one
hundred graves were uncovered.
On this island, called the loneliest
spot between the poles, the expedi-
ton from the Southwest museum
spent many weeks. To the head of
the expedition, William Henry Co.
Hsch, assistant curator of the mu-
scum, and Mrs. Golisch, is due chief
credit for many of the archaeological
discoveries on which are based the
present deductions which threaten
some long-established theories of ev-
olution.

WANT TARIFF BOARD
League Is Formed to Make Ma
tion-Wide Campaign.
"Take Tariff Out Of Politics" Is
Slogan Under Which Leading Men
Of the United States Have
United.

Chicago.-"Take the tariff out of
politics and put it on business basis"
is the slogan OF nationwide cam
paign to be undertaken by an organi-
cation formed in Chicago to urge the
establishment of a permanent nom
partisan tariff commission. MANY
leading men in the United States have
gone on record as approving the plan
and are directly interested in the
movement
The Tariff Commission league, just
formed in Chicago, and now in process
OF detailed organization, will be the
medium through which the fight will
be made to arouse the American pub
iic--the business world, the agricul-
tural world, the labor world-to bring
such pressure to bear upon congress
that the proposed tariff commission
will be created.
James j. Hill has agreed to take the
Guardianship of the advisory commit
tee of thirty members, which will pass
upon all general matters of policy and
action, and which is now being formed.
On Mr.. Hills advisory committee it
is Intended to have prominent repre-
sentatives of agriculture, labor, manu-
featuring, trade and commerce, higher
education, as well as experts on eco
Monies and public officials.
Warren S. Stone of Cleveland, grand
chief of the International brotherhood
OF Locomotive Engineers, has accepted
an invitation to serve on the advisory
committee, as one of the representa-
tives of labor. Another member of the
advisory committee is Mrs Samuel
B. Sheath of Tifin, Ohio, first vice
president of the National Federation
OF Women's Clubs, and a recent addi-
ton is Miss Jane Adams of Chicago.
Representing agriculture on that COM
mittee are: F. D. Coburn of Kansas,
the Father of Alfalfa,' who for twen-
ty years has been secretary of the
Kansas department of agriculture; ex-
Governor w. D. Hoard of Wisconsin,
who has been called the father of the
uduy luuusITy OIL the " est, and A. L.
Grout of Illinois, one of the chief farm
ers of that part Of the country and
president of the National Alfalfa Grow
ers' association. The composition of
the remainder of the committee will
be determined shortly. John ]. Mitch
ell, president of the Illinois Trust and
Savings bank, is treasurer of the
league. G. S. Wood, a wellknown
newspaper man Of Chicago, is assist
ant to the president.
The president of the Tariff Commits
sion league, and the man who will be
IN direct and active charge of the cam
paign for the arousing of public senti-
ment, is Howard H. Gross of Chicago.

charges them with receiving the atten-
lions of several young men.
Both girls denied being courted, and
asserted that the complainant was
simply Jealous of her husband. Pc.

ton in the case because the defend

she wished to retain counsel for the

The fact that a large percentage OF
these losses can be avoided by proper
