much attention not only from the peo-
pie In California, but from scientific
men the world over. 1t was reported
to have beer found in 1866 near the
town of Angels, Calaveras county, at
depth of 1870 feet. in tertiary grav-
els underlying tertiary lava. The find
ing of human skull embedded in such
deposits was for time believed to
indicate that man had been in exist
ence in North America longer than had
been supposed. Strange to say, the
skull is Of a higher type than skulls
which, although known to antedate his
toric times, are known also to be much
younger than the tertiary. Although

One of the arguments against pro-
hibition is that 1t confiscates property.
1t has been well pointed out that this
argument overlooks the fact that pro-
hibition does not take from the brew
ers, distillers and saloon keepers a
foot of ground that they own or a
single brick out of any Of their build
ings. They have their property just
as they had it before, but they cannot
use 1t for the same purpose. However.
there are other purposes for which 1t
can be used. When the saloon is
driven out the building can be used
for the sale of things that are helpful,
and the buildings now used for distil-
leries and breweries can be utilized
for other business enterprises, as they
have been in states that have adopted
prohibition, with distinct profit to the
property owners.
