THREE-MINUTE JOURNEYS
CONSTRUCTOR TIA KEs THE PLACE OF TABBY CAT.
By Temple Manning

6INALOA, one of the states on
the west coast Of Mexico,
~ will some day be one of the
chief seaports of the country, on
account of the proposed improve
ment to the harbor. This is the
old town of Mazatlan. which, on
account of its position as port
of entry, has an interesting his
tory of various and numerous
bombardments which took place
during the never ending revolu-
lions in Mexico.
But the history is more inter-
esting than the place itself Is
now. OF course, the natural
beauty of the crescent-like har-
Dor, with it's majestic cliffs, is d
sight to remember with pleasure
after one has forgotten the
very dirty streets and the diff.
Guilty of walking across them.
The sidewalks have been
thoughtfully built two feet above
the level Of the street to avoid
the dust of the dry season and
the filthy mud Of the rainy sea-
son.
"Mazatlan," translated, means
the place Of the deer" It could
well be called "the place Of the
parrot" For these beautiful
birds are sold along the sidewalks
by peddlers. They are as COM
mon as the fruit and vegetable
vendors on our streets.

Everywhere is heard the

Of parrots. Their gay colors re-
lieve the drab tone Of the streets
with their charming brightness.

hotel If one can dignity the
lodging house with such a name

ONDON.-Wars, rumors Of
wars and threats of wars
- are becoming stale topics
in London conversation, but &C.
casionally some new war scare"
comes along that arouses interest.
For the moment the popular
war" is London's ''bus war"
The General Omnibus Company
has for years operated it's buses
on the streets of London without
competition. In the last six
months at least four Independent
bus lines have opened up in COM
petition, and now there is "bus
war" on.
The new buses find that they
have an unwelcome escort. For
every independent bus operating
on the streets there is a flotilla
of General Omnibus Company
buses to act as escort. The indie
pendent bus man finds himself
sandwiched in between a fleet Of
big red buses, and he has traffic
troubles and is generally beaten
to the passenger stop, so that his
customers are few.
Public sympathy seems to be
in favor Of the Independent buses,
however, and they are managing
to exist.
Lord Ashfield, head of the Lon
don transportation combine, who
once smashed baggage" in Amer
lea, Is quite excited and peevish
about this "bus war" He warmly
defends the tactics which his
company has put in force to wipe
out competing buses.
"Small omnibus companies have
never shared the burden of the
day." Lord Ashfield says. "They
add nothing to the transport IA
cilities of London. They seek the
dense routes of traffic and run
their omnibuses with view to
serving their own selfish interests.
The private omnibus owner has
less responsibility than a taxi
driver. It must be survival of
the fittest."

big Boy" Lived Two Million Years Ago
on Monaghan Plateau

AYEW YORK -- Baluchiterium
~ lived about 100000 years
Il y ago. He weighed about
twenty tons. Now they're put
ting together his scattered re-
mains just as the great American
family puts together pieces of a
puzzle for a week or so after
Christmas.
The American Museum of Nat
ural History, through it's presi-
dent, announces that the recon
struction of the fossil remains of
the old-timer has progressed suf-
ficiently to show that it was ap-
parently the largest land mammal
ever found, with the exception of
some now extinct elephants.
Baluchitherium Grangeri Is the
full name. He is a cousin-or
perhaps a substantial limb of the
family tree-of the white rhi-
noceros, but If the two were pos
ing for their reading from left to
right the prehistoric living
mountain would overshadow his
mere two-ton pygmy relative to
the point of the absurd. Ba-
luchitherium was about twelve
feet high, as near as the museum
can figure, and twenty-four feet
long. He had no horns, but
enormous, powerful tusks, and an
almost impenetrable skin.
Granger Credited.
The museum gives credit for
the ancient's reconstruction to
Walter Granger (from which
name the "Grangeri" of Ba-
luchitherium Grangeri is derived.

Galen bought the Shinkoku Maru from the underwriters and was given possession. The vessel is at present ashore on Montague island, but MT. Galen has hopes of floating her. If not she will be dis membered by wrecking crew and the metal and furnishings sold.
 Mr. Galen has already taken out some 140O tons of Chinese coal from the wreck. While the captain was ab- sent in Cordova a fishing boat called at the wreck and removed numerous articles, chopping into several cabins and otherwise damaging the vessel. As the boat was not abandoned and the owners of the gasboat are known action may follow.
 MT. Galen stands to realize hand somely by his purchase.
 He will leave tonight on the North western for his home in Cordova.
