JAMES A. GARFIELD fell a saeri-

Powell Gives Facts
About Fish Hatchery

I'm learning some facts about the
White Pine fish hatchery. This
hatchery was established in 1913 and
since that time some two and II
half millions OF trout have been
planted in the streams of White Pine
county. Unless the planting of fish
is continued fishing will be a thing
of the past in this county.
Twenty fishermen are now seen
along the creeks where a few years

THE GRAND JuRY's REPORT.

The supplemental report sub
mftted by the grand Jury last Friday
is. 10 say the least, a document of
but little value.
The public has a right TO expect
that when seventeen men are called
together and clothed with power they
exercise il. II public officials are
guilty of graft and misapplication OF
funds the least service that might be
expected from grand Jurors is some
action as an indictment or present
ment which might bring the matter
to an issue. II certain officials are
unable TO explain any wrong doing,
IL wrong has been done. the matter
should be brought out In the open
thereby giving the accused an OPP
p%ortunity 10 be heard with the same
force and effect that their accusers
have been heard by putting what
they have to say in the permanent
records of the county.
The recommendation thai an audit
be made by a certified public account
ant not a resident of the state is as
hard to understand as is the fact that
such a scathing document should be
fled as a scold and nothing further
done. The state auditor is a man OF
recognized ability and IL he has not
performed his sworn duty he should
he likewise called to account.
In closing, the report sets forth
hat the body is not yet ready TO
make final report If this is in the
nature of a threat and that threat
is not idle. why not carry il out al
once?

MIR. SWALLOW AND THE VIEWS.

hhHh~
The suit filed during the last week
by r. T. Swallow against Anthony
Zurich and A. A. Sherman will per-
haps open up a wide and debatable
ground.
The editor of the News has no in
terest in any of the men who were
accused of grating and misapplying
the county funds by the first report
filed by the grand jury, but it is in
terested in fair play and publishing
the news as the people have a right
10 expect.
Considerable space was given 20
the scathing report filed by the grand
Jury and some space was also given
TO those who claimed to have been
thus stabbed in the back without
justification.
If the reply made by the attorney
for the accused men was libelous it
would seem that those who signed
their names 10 the first report might
be called to accoun by that same
token.
The News will never aim to libel
anyone but. on the other hand, will
show fair play TO every man, no mat
ter what his station in life may be,
and will welcome the opportunity TO
defend such a course before a compe-
tent tribunal.

STILL HOLD TO OLD THEORY
Scientists Satisfied to Accept Ancient
Explanation OF the Magnetism
of Earth's Surface.

1t was shown by Gilbert in the year
1000 that the facts then known about
the magnetic condition of the earth ;
surface could be explained by assum-
ing that the earth was a uniformly
magnetized sphere, the magnetic poles
of which Appropriated to the geo
graphical poles. With small modifica-
tons this theory has been accepted
universally, but the cause of the mag
netism is still completely obscure. 1t
is well known that the compass needle
points approximately north and south
over the whole of the globe, except in
the Arctic and the Antarctic regions.
The variation from the true north
namely, the angle between the direc-
ton Of the compass at certain place
and the line of longitude through that
place---is called the ''declinatiOn" for
that place. Also in northern ATTITUDES
the NOTWITHSTANDING end of the needle
points or dips downward, while in the
southern hemisphere the reverse is the
case.
For navigation purposes the amount
of the declinatiOn at various parts OF
the surface of the earth is set out in
charts, which, however, have to be
corrected from time to time.

Maunetic Furniture,

Some pieces OF furniture seem made
to hold more things than others. There
are tables that are positively magnets
They attract the entire deposit of the
day. You may put such table in per-
feet order in the morning, and by night
it will be completely hidden beneath
an accumulation of newspapers. no.
tions and small wares. In the same
way, certain backs of chairs form nat
ural hanging-paces for caps and book
straps and shopping bags. Have you
looked on the back of the Morris
chair?" Have you looked on the hall
table?" Magnetic furniture governs
not only the domestic trade-routes and
thoroughfares and the lines of traffic
from room TO room; ii governs also
the line of argument when things are
lost and not found-Frances Lester in

Remarkable French Status.

SORROW" one of the famous statues
in the Tuleries, Paris, is said TO be
unique in execution. Approached
from the south, the face of the figure
seems to be an eXquisitely done joyful
countenance. From the other side,
however, joy is seen TO be but mask
for face of woe. Speculation has
been rife as to the real meaning of the
figure, and what it is supposed to
represent. So many appropriate ex-
plantations have been given that noce
has been found satisfactory.

No Business Smokes Then.

Not so a hundred years ago in New

as smoking in business hours.

a cigar in the streets or at his office
in business hours could have obtained

times, the fact that young man had
