Expect Find of Interest.

The Spokane museum has leased q
16O-acre Coplan ranch, nea that city,
and soon will begin prospecting" for
the complete skeleton Of n Of the
largest mastodons ever unearthed.
Parts Of the skeleton have been To-
Gated. The farm, which is q low,
Doggy place, has been the source of
several mastodon skeletons unearthed
In the past years. There are several
more skeletons begged in the place,
1t is believed, and the one the Spo-
kane museum hopes to recover COM
plete will stand IA feet high with
tusks extending about ten feet out
from the jaws. This will equal in
size the largest mastodon evor I'M
earthed, which was found on this
same farm in 1873, and is now on ex-
hibitiOn at the Academy IF Science in
Chicago.

Of the hidden treasures Of some pirate
crew who were unable to return and
claim their ill-gotten wealth. Even
now there is more or less desultory
search made from time to time by
some Of the natives for pirate treas-
ures supposed to be buried in the
and along the shores Of the
island.
In 1776 the Spanish crown made a
grant of the entire isle to a retired
Spanish naval officer, who at his
death left seven sons, among whom
the Isle Of Pines was divided. From
the original grant down TO the Span
ish-American war the isle was the
home of Spanish aristocrats who had
large interests in Cuba. When Cuba
and Porto Rico were lost to Spain, the
leading inhabitants Of the Isle OF
Pines, being pure Spanish, regarding
the CubanS as interiors, were very de-
sirous, as the lesser of two evils, that
the sovereignty Of the isle pass to the
United States. There was inserted in
the treaty of Paris, negotiated with
Spain, a clause which President Nc
Kinley interpreted as ceding the Isle
of Pines to the United States.
Sent Many Men to the War.
The Isle of Pines is extremely pa
t%riotic, and has done it's full share
toward winning the war. While the
American population is less than five
thousand, and the percentage of the
men who are over the draft age has
that many were originally attracted
by it's climatic and health advantages,
nevertheless it boasts a service flag
of over two hundred stars. Many
bright young men have enlisted In va
riOuS branches Of the service. The
women of the isle in their Red Cross
work have raised thousands of dollars.
In fact, more actual money to date
has been raised here than has been
secured and contributed by the Amer.
lean ONE in all Cuba.
While all the wealthy Spaniards
originally inhabiting the isle have
sold their properties to the Ameri-
cans and returned to Spain or Cuba.
the working natives, ''pineros," as
they are termed, remain to the num-
Der Of probably twenty-five hundred or
three thousand. These pinerOs are
pure Spanish. They are industrious,
working faithfully ten OF twelve hours
a day for the small wage Of 81 to
$3.50 per day and boarding them
selves. AS workers they are regarded
as superior to the Mexican poems,
Cubans or jamaican negroes. They
are a quiet, inOffensive people, fond Of
the Americans, and cases Of theft or
bodily assault are rare. They are Of
a domestic temperament, marrying
early and rearing large families.
There are diversified amusements
for tourists. AutOmobiling over good
roads to all parts Of the isle, deep
sea fishing, tennis, golf and horseback
riding are especial favOrites, as well
as sea bathing in the warm salt wa
ters Of the Caribbean. AS to the eli
mate, 1 will not attempt a descrip-
ton, as I found it perfect.

Within ten minutes after an appli-
cation Of Danderine you can not find q
single trace of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after n few
weeks use, when you see new hair, fine
and downy at first-yes-but really
new hair-growing all over the scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately dOu-
bles the beauty of your hair. No diff
ference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten a cloth with Dan
derine and carefully draw it through
your hair, taking one small strand at a
time. The effect is ama3ing-yOur hair
will be light, fluffy and wavy, and have
an appearance of abundance; an in
comparable lustre, softness and luxu-
rance.
Get a small bottle of KnOwlton's
Danderine for n few cents at any drug
store or toilet counter, and prove that
your hair is as pretty and soft as any
that it has been neglected or injured
by careless treatment-thats all-you
surely can have beautiful hair and lots
Of it If you will just try a little Dan
derine.-Adv.

Kidney disease Is no respecter of per-

people today can be traced back to the
kidney trouble.
The kidneys are the most important
organs of the body. They are the FL

which are swept from the tissues by the
blood are not eliminated through the
kidneys, disease OF one form or another
will claim you as a victim.
Kidney disease is usually Indicated by

Text of Treaty on Page Z.

St Cermain. June Austria was
today given fifteen days to reply to the
terms of peace presented by the allied
nations.
The peace treaty was handed to the
Austrian delegates at 12:39 p. m.
NJ. Clemenceau. president of the
peace conference, was the first promi-
nent figure to arrive today at the
meeting at which the terms of peace
were presented.
Secretary of State Lansing and
Henry White were the first American
representatives to arrive. Premier
Orlando of italy and Premier Pader-
ewski of Poland and Arthur ]. Bal
four following.
President Was Late.
At 1910 o'clock President Wilson
had not arrived ard the ceremony of
presentation was delayed somewhat.
The president, however. reached St
German at 1874 o'clock. A puncture
in the tire of his automobile had held
him up on the way. The Austrian
representatives arrived at 1929 o'clock,
entering the chamber by a rear en-
trance. The delegates were attired in
conventional morning dress.
The Austrians were escorted in by
an Italian officer. Immediately upon
their arrival at 1922 o'clock, the ses-
sion was formally opened by an
nouncement of the head usher.
Premier Clemenceau in his instruc-
tions to the Austrian delegates in
formed them that no oral discussions
would be allowed, and that all written
observations must be submitted within
a maximum period of fifteen days.
A Mere Skeleton.
The document was reported to be a
mere skeleton of the treaty, with fl
nancial, economic, reparations, mill
tary and boundary clauses either
wholly or partially lacking. The COM
plete sections consist principally of
political and territorial clauses, to-
gether with the league of nations
covenant. which is identical with that
in the German treaty, according to
advance information.
While the treaty indicates generally
the territory which Austria loses, the
precise boundaries will be fixed later
either by the allies or mixed com
mission. 1t provides that Austria shall
retain the northern boundary she had

HINES is UPHELDIIk LIBERTY PLEA
Philippines Present Request to
Congress for Speedy Action.
First Instance of a Colony Not
Claiming Injustice.

washington, June 2.-Final and i'm
mediate solution of the Philippine
question was asked of congress in a
mission today at joint session of the
senate committee on the Philippines
and the house committee on the in
sular affairs. The mission is officially
representing the Philippine legislature
and people.
The memorial said:
''It is for the best interest of both the
United States and the Philippines, that the
independence of the latter country be recog-
nized and established at this time.
such a step will insure the maintenance
of a firm and lasting friendship between
the two peoples and will foster the free
development of their commercial relations
in the future; it Will place on high level
the honor of America by the fulfillment of
her repeated promises to grant freedom
to the Filipino people and thus perpetuate
in the hearts of the Filipinos the senti-
ments of gratitude and affection which
they now entertain towards the American
people.
For the first time IN the history of
colonial relations subject and alien race
comes to a successful severance of their
political relations with the sovereign ma
ton without recOunting any act of injus-
tice done TO them and demanding repara-
tion therefore; but rather with a feeling
OF gratitude and affection, and with the
object and for the purpose of strengthen
ing the bonds of moral and material union
which have bound the two peoples together
In an endavor to establish the reign Il
Justice, democracy and peace in the world
Accompying the petition was a reso-
luton adopted by the Philippine leg
islature setting forth that there exist
in the Philippines the conditions OF
order and government which America
has for nearly a century and a half
required in all cases in which she has
recognized the independence of a
country.
