The Proposed Eighth Amendment

To be voted on September Goth
Should be defeated. While this
amendment would place a limit
on the tax levy for other purposes
such limits as are proposed would
net be sufficient to work hard
ship in any way except upon the
schools. A maximum of 10 mile
would be allowed for a general
school levy At present maxi
mum of Is mills is allowed and in
some counties Of the state it is go
ing to be difficult to maintain the
schoCls with sn18 mill levy next
year. The school levy for the past
year in this county is consider
ably below the average for the
state, 8 1-2 mills. Although the
budget for next year will probab.
ly be less the rate must he raised
on account of the decrease in
valuations.
While the adoption of the
Eighth Amendment would not
work an imm ediate hardship up
on the schools OF this county it
should by all means,be defeated
for two good ressons
1. 1t is one of the steps to take
from the local authorities control
of local affairs. The force back
of the amendment Is the Santa
Fe Railway Company. They are
naturally very anxious 70 keep
down its taxes However, it will
not come out in the open and op-
pose taxes for school purposes,
that would be a very unpopular
thing to do. it frames amend
ment to be voted on which places
a limit on the lsvy for practically
all purposes but strikes most di-
rectly at the school levy. 1t then
lends its support to fight for the
amendment in the name Of the
State tax pyers Association of
which it is the chief supporter.
The question to ask ourselves is
"Are we going to allow the rail-
road companies CT ether corpor-
alton or monied interests say that
we can spend 90 much money and
no more in the education Of our
children?"
2. Looking to the future, the
day should not be far distant
when the proposed limitation
would be a material hinderance
TO educational progress in this
county. We are not spending toe
m uch money for schools. Money
Apent for schoolsshoul6 be an in :
vestment and not waste. We
are not getting the value that we
should get for what we are spend
ing. Whit we need to do is To
create greater interest in local
affairs and require businessIike

NATIVE HUNTER SHOOTS A WHITE
 GLACIER BEAR
Freak of Animal World Killed by John Rudolph Who
 Was Drowned Wednesday.

A white Glacier bear was killed by John Rudolph "Wednesday at Taku Glacier, just before he was drowned when attempting to reach his boat by swimming. The bear, which is as white as mountain goat at this time of year, was brought to the city yesterday on the Seagull, the boat belonging to the dead man, and is now at his home near Willoughbs Avenue. It is one of the rarities of the animal world and as far as is known there never was one shot at Taku Glacier before.
 According to old hunters of this vicinity, white Glacier bears are found some times in Western Alaska and are considered a great find. Last year one was seen on the road to Silver Bow Basin and was wounded by hunters who were in pursuit of It.
 It is said that the bear of this species, that are perhaps an albino strain. never attain a. large size and the one that is now in the city IS not large. being of about the size of two-year old black bear.

SECRET OF GOLD MINE IS LOCKED
 UP IN MOUNTAIN
Hunters Have Been Trying
 for Centuries to Locate Rich Tunnel.

BISBEE, Ariz, June 10.--For three hundred years, according to reliable records, the Sierra Madrc Mountains of Sonora and Chihuahua Mexico have held the secret of a gold mine of fabulous richness and vast treasure store of gold, mined and hidden away in an inaccessible tunnel.
 The romance of the gold hunter is written in the history of mans efforts through the centuries to reach and bring back to civilization this wealth of the Old Tyopa mines. Murders and violence have marked many of these efforts and still in many hardy breasts of this mining country today there still stirs the spirit which has promoted many to brave the dangers of starvation. thirst and death at the hands of Indian bands and outlaws in the search for gold.
 Mexico City contains records Of the old mine and several prospectors one of them Jack Dunn, accredited discoyerer of the Warren district have reported seeing ruins of the old mine, but none ever reached there.
 According to records at the Mexi- can capital, in the latter part of the seventeenth century the isolated village of Old Tyopa was raided by Indians. who destroyed the town and killed all the inhabitants except priest.
 After wandering for several weeks, the priest arrived at little town called Auga Fria, on the Faqui River, where he was received and cared for by a Mexican family. His hardships caused his death, but be- fore he died he gave to the family a description and map of the mining camp. He also reported that the gold obtained from seven years of mining had been stored in an old tunnel because of the impossibility of shipment to civilization. .t
 The story and map, it is said, have been handed down from fam fly to family for generations. Those who attempted to reach the camp lost their outfits and many did not return. The Indians for years men aced all prospectors and this condi- tion still exists, augmented by bands of outlaws.
 Max Coyita, for several years Mexican Consul at Naco,; is said. to have been the latest prossessor of the priests map. He declared he twice succeeded in getting as far as Casa Blanca from which the ruins of old T'yopa are visible and it was reported he had not given up hopes of reaching the place at his death several years ago.
 Bert Grover, local man, twice started with two companions to make the perilous journey. but was forced back because of insufficient equipment, Indians and outlaws.
 Some remarkable cold specimens have been brought back from the vicinity of the Old Tyopa, but so far as known no one ever has reached the mines since the old town was destroyed centuries ago.

MILLIONS LOST BY FARMERS IN
 BIN SHRINKACE
Slump inaWalues of Crops z Held by Kansas Farmers
 Runs Into Big Sum.

TOPEKA, Kan, June l0.-Shrink- still in the bin on Kansas farms represent a loss of approximately S75 ,000, ,000 to Kansas farmers, com pairing prices at, present with those prior to when the slump set in last fall. This figure is based. on a recent report issued by J. C.. Mohler, secretary of the State Board of Ag- riculture, showing the enormous of grain still unsold.
 On the 25,850,O00 bushels of wheat or IS per cent of the entire last years crop, the price in the last six months has deteriorated on an average of $1 a bushel; on the 63, 3,352,0 ,000 bushels of corn, AIT per cent of last years crop still on hand, the price has shrunk an average of more than fifty cents, and on the 23,929,O00 bushels of oats still in the farmers bins, the price shrink age has been B 1-3 cents per bushel--an aggregate shrinkage. on these holdings alone of $65, 900, while the decreased value on other retained graine crops would aggre- gate more than $10,O00,000 accord ing to Secretary Mohler. This does not take into consideration the de- creases in prices on grains marketed during the past few months.
 One Western Kansas County Rocks-alone has nearly 100000 bushels of wheat still on the farms while fourteen Kansas counties have in excess of 500,0OO bushels each. To move to market the volume of stored grains would require 100000 cars.
 There was a fifth more wheat and four times as much corn and oats on Kansas farms on April 16, than on that date a year ago. A year ago it was freely admitted by railroad officials that it would be a physical impossibility to move the old crops and at the same time take care of the avalanche of wheat which begins moving from the farms about July 1. This year, however, railroad officials are now optimistic about coping with the situation, although the congestion admittedly is far worse than it was year ago They point to the fact, however, that there were no cars available year ago while this year there are plenty.

CHICAGO. June 10.-If the sky scraper in which your office is locat- ed should walk away some night you would be surprised when you went to work the next morning, wouldn't you?
 Still, why shouldn't it? \
 Buildings, like everything else, are alive and active, in the opinion of Nicholas Roerich, Russian painter whose exhibition at the Art Institute here proved to be a sensation.
 He makes his pictures look alive. He puts a plus element into them that gives a sense of universal power
 "Buildings are alive" he said. "Why not make them look so? Every thing lives; nothing can die. All is ine motion. That old convent there Che pointed to a painting called "The White Monastery') has lived for cen turies, and through the years it has bulged and braced itself against the elements for protection. It has de veloped a profile which shows real activity" aeg
 The painter is. interested in Amer ican skyserapers.
 "No, I do not think they are hide ous." he said. "They are the beau tiful castles. of the future. They too, will develop in the years. They will brace themselves against the winds and you will see in them the cosmic force at work"
 Andreyev, Russian writer, says the universal spirit working through Roerich's art produces "the Roerici realm" ratified province of prim al awe and wonder. species ol spontaneous Identification with th' eternal forces of life and nature"
 "Women are more aware off this cosmic force than men" Mir. Roe rich says. "Women learn the cosmiS language because it comes no' through the brain. but through the heart. Their intuition often is more sure than mems reasoning"

SHORTAGE OF cREAH

On account of the increased ae- mand for milk and cream the past few weeks. caused by the warm spell of deather. it has created a shortage of cream with us. and be- cause of the strike we are unable to ship cows at present and only oc- casionaiiy have we been able to ship cream from Seattle to relieve the shortage. While this shortage lasts we will only sell cream to houses where 1t is needed for babies or sick people and to restaurants and ice cream parlors. as the latter depend on the milk and cream for their business. We do not look for this shortage to last long and will announce later when it is relieved. -adv. JUNEAU DAIRY.

The Indian Riots.

The carly dispatches which seemed to indicate
that the riots in the Malabar district Of India were
of political origin and part of the Indian Nationalist
movement have not been borne out. The attacks
directed first against Europeans and later against
the Hindu natives made by Moplah fanatics
who are Mohammedans of Arab descent The mme-
diate cause of the uprising attempt to arrest
certain Mohammedans charged with melting to vio-
lence, but the real appears to be propaganda
to the effect that great wrongs have been and are
being done to the Mohammedans of Turkey by the
allies. British and Indian troops have been sent into
tn Maabar district and order is gradually being
stored although bloody clashes between the Mop
lahs and Hindus continue to in the more remote
places The possibility of revolt of the tribesmen
in the north OF India has caused uneasness, but to
the nsesent outbreak in that region has occurred.
