John r. Reid. Lovelock naturalist,
In explanation of the finding OF the

road builders in gravel pit at the
depth OF twenty feet
The head OF buffalo, which

was considered Of special import

IGNORANT Of Law
Thought Wooden Buildings Were
Allowed in Fire District

If any extension is made in the

Der of the committee which recon-
mended tho existing fire district

meeting TO proceed carefully as it is
n serious matter and one which can
provoke great difference of opinion.
Only two residents appeared at
the meeting, which had been adver-
tsed as a public hearing. They were
Patrick Howley Of South Main street
and Eugene Dyson, a member of the
building commission. Mr. Howley
said he had been in the jobbing bus

still interested in building regula-

some leeway in the restrictions and
Commissioner Dyson pointed out
that it would be unfair to property
owners and land developers to SO ex-
tend the fire district limits as to in
clude practically the entire city.
The proposed extension should not
be made at once, he thought, and he
said he had 10 objection to a grad
ual change in the lines.
Alderman Falk and Counciimen
Hanes and Holt said they were not

the river we should see the ceremony of
the 10000 lanterns, produced for our
benefit and in our honor. We went out
on the balcony and there witnessed a
sight never to be forgotten. Down the
river were floating scores of lanterns,
each resting on a board borne by the
river. All were red, and the procession,
moving steadily downstream, stretching
out beyond our view, and seemingly
endless, gave a weird effect of mystery.
Whether or not there were actually
10000, they continued to appear, from
a point upstream just below the big
new bridge for fully half an hour.

cession. Truly, the japanese are artists
