At first he declared for the Comptroller bill, without the Governor as a member of the Board; then he thot the Governor should be a member and said that he would move to amend the bill so as to include him, but if his amendment was defeated, he would support the bill The amendment was de- feated, but the Senator again had a change of mind and when the bill was on it's passage in the Senate, he voted against it and killed it by a to vote.
 At this last session, Senator Dunn was from the start oppoS- ed to all Sutherland measures, altho he secured his election from that source. He took his political cue from Democratic Senator Dimond, but on other measures placed his trust in Senator Hess, and so was wrong most of the time. Senator Dunn took great pleasure in oratoric- al outbursts, perhaps thinking himself the only conscientious Senator who voted from the most worthy motives. His col leagues paid little attention to !!4'm, as he was regarded as the lightweight of the Senate, who was fcoling no one but him. self. If he ever had any useful ness in the Legislature, it is certainly ended. He is simply pawn of the Juneau Empire.

SURVEYS AS ASSESSMENT
 WORK

The Senate measure that sought to allow surveys to be counted in as manual labor on mines was given the pocket veto by Governor Parks.
 The Attorney General, howev- CT, is reported to have informed B. D. Stewart, Supervising Min ing Engineer for Alaska, that the minors still count surveys as part of their annual assessment work on unpatented mines.
 He said: "In the case of Wi- gant vs. Mike Brynes' Estate whic!s originated in the court at Fairbanks, Alaska, the Court of Appeals at San Francisco held that the cost of surveying a min ing claim could lawfully be counted as and applied upon the expenditure required by law for assessment work or annual labor.

That Left Arm SIGNAL

The left-arm signal used by motorists which
should be one of the most useful signals in existence
rapidly is becoming one of the most confusing.
It is easy if you take care, to give the driver be-
hind you an exact idea of what you intend to do
when you extend your You can point straight
to the left, indicating a left turn; you can motion
the following driver to pass your left indicating
right turn; you can extend the palm, open, in such
a way that anyone behind you will know you are
going to stop. It is quite simple.
But does it work out that wayP 1t does not. Each
driver has his own notions. You drive down street
and presently you hand dangling out OF the
window of the car ahead. 1t hangs, limp and inert;
or perhaps it points benigny toward the sky; and
it may mean anything.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE
Furnace Can Cause Monoxide Poison

interfered with, the higher is the
percentage of carbon monoxide.
Thus the f1ue gas from boilers
and household heaters sometimes
causes poisoning through leaks in
the heating apparatus. The gas
from bathroom burners and from
coke burning heaters contains con-
siderable quantities Of carbon mon
oxide and when these are used with
out f1ue, poisoning frequently re-
suits.
The exhaust gas from internal
combustion engines contains carbon
monoxide in amounts from l to Z
per cent, or even higher. An auto
mobile may produce twenty eight
quarts of carbon monoxide a min
ute for 20-horse power. This is
enough to cause the air in a single
car garage to become deadly within
five minutes after the engine is run
ming when the garage doors are
closed.

vious articles in this series, man

Honor

A ND so I protest against many
L n of the accepted phrases in our
language. For instance, we say OF
somebody who is forever spelling
for fight that he is high spirited. ="
Surely the words are inexact. The
person who resents each petty
slight with violence has a rather poor
opinion of himself. His status
seems even to himself precarious,
and so he forever must be fighting
to preserve it. He wears his honor
on his sleeve because it is so trifiing
thing that it would be hard to ind
if he placed it in a pocket.
After all, each one Of US should
regard honor as a purely personal
possession. It is not a commodity
to be exposed to the evaluation OF
every passerby Nor do I think
that paci1sm in private life should
be classified as meaching or non
aggressive. It is entirely possible
to smack an unfriendly opponent
on the nose with soft answer.
when you call me that-smile, ;"
said the cowboy hero Of Owen Wis
ter's "Virginian." and think he had
things twisted. It would have been
much more effective if he had done
the smiling and in that way re-
moved the sting of the opprobrious
epithet.

Editor Times-AS all citizens
should, the writer has been en-
deavoring to follow the various city
officials in their plans for spread
ing the budget for 1890 Most GER
tainly this is of vital interest to
every taxpayer, and members of the
common council and others are to
be commended for their diligence.
However, in years gone by the
pairing of some of the appropriations
that we're requested by certain de-
partments proved nothing else than
false economy. For is it not true
that every year several of the de-
partmentS run out of funds, and 1t
is found necessary to transfer funds
that were intended for one purpose
or department to another, thus caus-
ing unnecessary work and loss Of
valuable time for our city heads. So
what would you call it?
The writer, as do many others,
wants a minimum tax rate, but is
of the opinion that in order for any
city to thrive, it must have that one
thing which is most essential funds.
Which, of course, means a slight in
crease each year in tax rates.

to million of air. This is enough
to cause a slight headache after long
exposure.
When the carbon monoxide gets
into the blood it combines with the
red coloring matter and in this way
excludes oxygen. 1t takes a long
time to get the carbon monoXide out
of the body.
The way to treat a person who
has been overcome with carbon mo-
noxide is to hasten its elimination
by letting him inhale oxygen with 5
per cent carbon dioxide.
If two workers are exposed for a
long time to carbon monoxide gas
and ore is treated by limitations Of
oxygen with per cent of carbon
dioxide, and the other merely by
breathing spontaneously in the open
air. the former will be able to go
back to work within a half-hour or
so and feel as well as he did be-
fore he was gassed, whereas the lat
ter may be sick for considerable
period of time, sometimes for days
or weeks.
For this reason, it is customary
in plants where such asphyxiations
may occur to have available inha-
lators and tanks of oxygen and car
bon dioxide, so treatment may be
given promptly.
