"Earuu That Raises Jewels.

The island of the Holy Ghost. Lower
California. has the only farm In the
world which sows and reaps a crop of
jewels. Through artificial propaga-
tion and care pearls are actually raised
there in the San Gabriel cove. In their
natural condition the pearl beds are
scattered and the oysters are prey to
many submarine foes, but on this farm
they are protected by a substantial

are cultivated just as edible oysters

ARROWHEAD SEEMS
TO Be COMING CAMP

Arrowhead, the promising new
camp of Nevada, presents a scene OF
action. The various mining compa-
aies are rushing development on
their respective holdings, with the
individual groups of prospectors
proving up their ground with shafts
and tunnels. In addition to ne loca-
ton and development activities, the
construction of bunkhouses, homes
and shelters for business purposes.
marks the beginning of what may
prove a thriving new community, re-
marks the White Pine News.
The Arrowhead Annex Mining Com
pany. according to the Tonopah Bo-
nanza. is n of the active develop
ers Of the new camp, a force OF men
doing preliminary surface work,
trenching, spotting locations of new
shafts, and making preparations for
the setting of equipment. together
with the construction of adequate
housing facilities. Arrangements are
being made for the early listing of
this issue on the San Francisco ex-
change.
Many of the mining men of Ely
who have visited the new camp re-

descriptions of the wonderful sur

ings and perform the location work
on claims secured.
o. II. Paulson, who has visited
nearly all of the new strikes in the
States. reports conditions at Arrow
head as most promising. He has just
returned from a two weeks visit to
the camp and is now preparing to
leave on his return trip some time
next week and spend in the winter in
prospecting.
Henry Goodman is preparing to
establish a branch of the McGill
Mercantile Company in the new camp
and expects to open up for business
there some time in the next month.
Although accommodations at pres
ent are poor. the town is rapidly
taking on the appearance of a real
boom. Buildings are being erected
as rapidly as material can be trans
ported from Goldfeld and Tonopah.
These cities are going right after the
business of the new camp and signs
of real social life are apparent, even
to the extent of a grand ball which is
announced.
1t appears to be the general opin-
ION of the mining experts who have
visited the camp that it has all the
earmarks of a future big district.

CONTRACTORS MAKE
HIGH BIDS ON ROADS

The State department of highways
has beer notified hat the bureau OF
public roads of the United States gov
eminent has undertaken the construc-
ton of a stretch of road from Nc
Kinney's Tanks in Nye county to a
point thirteen miles east in the Toyi-
abe national forest. This work is be-
ing done under what is called forced
account" or through the employment
of day labor by the government, in
stead of by contract.
When the bids on this particular
job were opened it developed that all
offers were greatly in excess of the
government engineers estimates OF
costs, and they were rejected. In
fact. it is said that one contractor
who made a bid on a State job of
fourteen miles of graveled-surface
road to end at McKinney's Tanks.
made his bid nearly twice as high on
the less costly earth road in the ma
tional forest.
The bids on the two sections of
road-one for the State and n for
the Federal government-serve to in
dictate the reluctance of many con-
tractors to tying themselves up with
contracts with the Federal authori-
ties. In fact, it is said that many of
them will invariably make the figures
at least fifty per cen higher when
the United States is to foot the bills.
In the case of the Toyiabe forest
road. the United States bureau OF
public roads will have the work done,
pay the bills, and hen collect the
States share of the cost. This Is the
direct reverse of the procedure where
the State pays for the building of
roads and collects the governments
share of payment under the Federal
road act.-[Carson City News.

Proof That Seeds Breathe.

It is easy to demonstrate that germi-
mating seeds take In oxygen and give
out carbon dloxide, according to the
following experiment described In the
Scientific American:
A score or so of peas are placed In
a close-ftting Jar with a small amount
Of moisture. After a while the peas
start to terminate. but soon they cease
all development. because the oxygen In
the Jar Is exhausted. A single pea In
a jar of the same size, however, will
develop and grow up into a little plant.
There Is evidently oxygen enough for
the needs of the single specimen.
To prove concfusively that there Is
no oxygen left in the jar in which the
number of seeds terminated II is only
needful to plunge In a burning match.
This instantly goes out. The presence
OF carbon dioxide In this Jar is clearly
shown by pouring into II lime water.
and then shaking. The lime water
becomes milky In appearance. This
would not happen in a jar In which
there had been no terminating seeds.

WEIRD CONTRASTS
NOTED|N SENTENCES

Parus and Monahan, convicted muir
derers, were brought from Elko yes
terday and placed in the state prison
by Sheriff Joe Harris, says the Car
son City News.
The two cases afford striking con-
trasts. Parus, nearly two years ago,
killed John S. Winter after consider
able trouble between the two families
over a long period of years. He has
employed every possible means to
escape paying the penalty for his
crime in shooting down an unarmed
man. Elko county has been forced to
foot the bills for two long and ex-
pensive trials. The first one resulted
in a disagreement. one man holding
out for acquittal. The second jurc
agreed upon a verdict of man
slaughter, and sentence was fixed
from two to ten years. No expense
or means were spared in Parus' fgh.
for freedom.
Monahan, on the other hand, did
not kill his man as the result of
trouble of long standing. 1t was
after a period of debauchery and
whiskey-Tanlac drunkenness that he
entered a house in the Wells re-
stricted district and killed Downs
with a shotgun. Monahan had the
same attorney as Parus, but unlike
Parus he has no relatives and rich
friends to assist him. Monahan plead
guilty. After hearing the evidence in
order to determine the degree of guilt,
Judge Taber sentenced Monahan to
life Imprisonment.

PUZZLE FOR LEARNED MEN
Figures Of White Horses, Cut in Eng
iish Cliffs, Have Never Been
Satisfactorily Explained.

Every now and then, naturally
enough, a little wave Of popular In
terest eddies around the mysterious
white horses cut In the hillsides in
various parts of southern England.
Sometimes, owing to the en~crOaching
habits Of the brush, the chalk which
constitutes the lines Of the animals
fades from view and almost from
memory. This process had well-nigh
happened to the Westbury White
Horse at Brattan, Wiltshire, when
the clearing Of the bushes laid 1t bare.
and revived inquiries as to its origin,
and solicitude for It's preservation, as
well as for the upkeep Of Its various
counterparts elsewhere.
Well-known authorities have II that
the horse was cut u to commemorate
the victory Of King Alfred over the
Danes at Ethandune. the site Of which
is not far distant. Ellington. however.

J.. S. PRESS CENSOR

0RN@
WASHINGTON, ID. c. Maintained
during the wal as the dispenser of
official thoughts and explanations oe
the administration at a time when
criticisms of it were not permitted to
be printed, the committee on public
information, headed by George Creel,
former Denver reporter. and after
wards disbanded, is now again noto-
rious because of chaos In its ac-
counts.
Z. X. Ellsworth, an investigator.
who was appointed in August as a
liquidation officer, has reported to the
Senate appropriations committee that
uncashed checks for many thousands
of dollars were filed away or were
thrown on the floor when the Creel
bureau went put of business.
G~rosvenor B. GARRISON. director Of
the Council of National Defense, has
prepared a statement dealing with
Ellsworth's discoveries, in which he
(Clarkson) declares that $685. 900 of
the Creel committee funds have been
recovered and that 100000 of an n
expended balance has been turned
into the treasury. Ellsworth says:
when the affairs of the committee
were transferred to the council there
was still employed there E. H. Hobbs,
formerly disbursing clerk and chief
of the division of business manage
ment. Upon my demand Mr.. Hobbs
turned owe to me some SIG, 900 in
checks. money orders, ETC., which had
been received as reimbursements by
the committee or public information.
All Of these checks were dated in
February. March. April, May and June
of this year and had been permitted
to accumulate in a safe without any
effort whatever for collection.
HE also turned over to me his
check for $48,SS1.54, the same being
a balance in the Riggs bank in this
city from the sale of pictures; checks
for $3,610.82, being balance of an ac-
count in the Union Trust Company of
receipts from the division of films,
and ~$33,517.15. balance on account of
the American Security & Trust Com
pany Of funds received for subscrip-
tons to the Official Bulletin.
Later, in going through the files,
I found several thousand dollars
worth of checks which had been
turned in to the committee in con
nection with final accounting of va
rious persons to whom advances of
funds had been made. and which had
been thrown into various file cases,
without any effort to realize on the
checks.
II also found several thousand dol
lars worth of checks and negotiable
papers in the desk trays, on the desk.
and on the floor of his room. The
amount recovered by me from all
to date totals $500, 900.
"In addition. I find money had been
left in som banks in Russia which
were taken over by the Bolsheviki.
I found $4,000 in the hands of an
auctioneer in New York, the result
of a sale of Office furniture, because
no one would answer his letters"

TO MakoWiski, vas as follows:
The bo-sheYik would agree T. say
all debts Of the old regime. This could
be done partly in gold and partly in
materials.
The boisheviki would keep their arm
les within the boundaries Of the pres
ent soviet republic until plebiseite
could be held in territories surrounding
il. BY this plebiSeite, Siberia, Ukrain
ia, Ccurland and ali other buffer states
in the former Russian empire could
decide whether they wanted to remain

confederation.
The soviet government would also
agree to withhold its propagan&sts
from ether countries.
DemobilizatiOn of the bolshevii
army would take place an soon as the
allies withdraw their forces.
Allies Asked 10 Withdraw
On the part of the allies il was
proposed that they evaeuate Russian
territory, cease financing or encourage
ing opponents Of the soviet govern
ment, lift the blockade and permit the
boisheviki to buy railway equipment
and other machinery. The bOlsheyik
further asked the allies to recover l.
100000 rubles in gold, eaptufed by the
OzeehO Slcvaks at Przemysl and now
held in Siberia, to be used in payment
of Russia s debt to the allies.
"The bolsheviki will make no inva-
sion Of Germany or any other coun-
try" said Makowish. "The Germans
and the heads of other states know
that, even if the DeoDle do not. On all
sides our enemies are on our soil-the
allies at Arehangel and in southern Rus
sia, and the Germans along the Rus
sian border. We have an army of lit, |
tie over a million men, all workmen,
but commanded by officers Of the old |
army who must work and are glad of |
job. They get the same pay as the |

mans withdraw their armies.
