Gently defeated in the senate, was tax
en- up in an amended form and passed
by the house, and is now up to the
senate again, where it is likely to
again go against a hard fight. AS first
presented the bill provided for a d.
rector Of public domain, who would
have supervision Of the heads Of the
bureaus created under the bill. its
new form, the director is eliminated
and the governor is made the head Of
the department. The fight seems to
have grown pretty much into poll
teal one between Auditor Preus, I'M
der who jurisdiction a number of the
departments are now vested, and Gov
ernor Burnquist. Representative
Brown voted for its passage in the
house and Bouck voted against the

RURAL MAIL ROUTES
TO BE DISCONTINUED.

The report is circulating among
the press that the postoffice depart
ment will discontinue a large num-
Der of rural routes in the next few
months to reduce expenses. In
spectors will go thru the country in
a short time and examine all roads
which the rural carriers travel and
where the condition of roads is found
bad, routes will be discontinued.
Roads which show neglect will be
more apt to be condemned than those
which have been put in first class
condition. One careless road over
seer in a township may be respon-
sible for the loss of route.

NATURE IN AUSTRALIA.

Many things are reversed in Aus
tralia. Summer there while tits win
ter in America. Trees shed their bark
instead of their leaves; fruit has the
stone or kernel outside; swans are
black; there is a species of fly that
kills and eats the spider, and fish,
the climbing perch, walks deliberate
ly out of the water, and with the
aid of fins, climbs the adjacent
trees to get the insects thereon.
When to this we add that most OF
the birds have no song and the flow
ers no doors, it is easily cen that
it is the other side of the world in
moro ways than one.

sAVAGEs NOW USE WIRELESS.

An explorer in South America says
there is kind of wireless telegra-
ply among the savage tribes there,
and that it has been in use for more
than 5000 years. In his travels he
was met in one part of the country
by a number of natives who had ev-
identity been expecting him. When
we asked how they knew we were
coming, they pointed to an arrange
ment suspended between two tree
stumps on a horizontal bar. 1t was
a means for sending and receiving
messages among the various tribes
thruout the Amazon Valley.
The transmitter was a followed
trunk of a tree, suspended from the
pole, so that the base was slightly
off the ground. Inside it had been
arranged very much like violin.
When the instrument was struck
sharply with a rubber hammer a vi
bration was created that carried for
miles over the hills to a receiver of
somewhat similar arrangement.

A WONDERFUL MONUMENT.

One of the most wonderful mon
uments in the world will be the Con-
federate Memorial at Stone Noun
tain near. Atlanta, Ga. The mountain
is of solid granite, 500 feet high and
1900 feet long. Nothing grows upon
it and when it was decided to carve
upon 1t groups of Confederate lead
ers in colossal size some way had to
be found to make possible footing
upon this strange natural back
ground for the memorial. 1t took
great engineering feats to make a
roadway possible to the top and
sometimes the engineers seemed to
hang on by their toes, but the prob
lem has been solved. The artist who
will sculpture the groups is Gut
zon Borglum.
