rhinoceros Is a terrifying beast, and
that fact makes him one Of the
most interesting. He weighs general

Governor S Operation
Proved Unsuccessful
Revealed Inflamed Condition Of
Stomach-Advise Continued
Medical Treatment

Governor Olson submitted to an
operation for a stomach growth
and disorder at Rochester Tuesday
morning. The Mayo clinic disclosed
that further operations would fail
to cure the Governor, and directed
a continued medical treatment in
the hope of clearing up the disor-
der. The exploratory operation re-
vealed an inflamed condition of the
stomach, according to the physi-
clans report, which prevented
the removal of the growth. In the
meantime the Governor will trans
act executive business from the
hospital.

Sea Star Can Walk

The sea star Is q member of the
starfish family, generally a vivid
blue in color. Most sea stars have
five arms, but some have only four,
and others have over thirty. Small
tube feet which usually have suck
er disks at their tips are ranged
along the lower surface of the
arms. II the sea stars are In dan
ger they can shed ray and grow
a new one In its place. A sea star
can walk only very slowly with his
tube feet, notes a writer in the
Washington Post, but can open
an oyster with them by fixing the
suckers on different rays to the
valves Of the oysters shell. and
pulling until the prey can no long
er keep its shell closed. Then
the sea star brings his stomach
out through his mouth, which Is on
the under side of his body, and
wraps 1t around the oyster. When
his meal is finished he puts his
stomach back again.

Gunpowder Substances

In gunpOwder there are two CON-
bustible substances, sulphur and
charcoal, mixed with a powerful
oxidizing agent, potassium nitrate.
The reason for the exclusive use Of
these particular constituents for
such a long time lay in the fact
that until about fifty years ago po-
tassium nitrate was the only solid
oxidizing agent available in suffi-
cient amount.

DR.. Knud Hanson
Died December 10Th
(Continued from Page One)

Colorado He was reserved and
quiet, but all believed in him. His
word was as pure as gold, he was
the soul of sincerity, loving truth
more than applause. In his great
heart there was no room for little
or mean thought or deed.
'Dr. Hanson opened his heart to
few, but many opened theirs to
him. He spoke few words, but when
he spoke it was with wisdom. He
was a man of great culture and
beautiful refinement; born with a
brilliant mind, he thought without
confusion.
He was patient and painstak-
ing in the pursuit of his profess
sion, a profession of which he
stood at the head. He was kept
alive through years of affliction
and suffering only by the love of
his work. His profession meant
everything to him, and with dig
nifty and devotion he sought to
glorify it, never in all his life cast
ing any shadow upon it.
DIR. Hanson belonged not to the
west alone, but was often called to
distant parts for consultation, go
ing whenever health permitted.
ITO him honor was more than
life; he was man of lofty ideals
and an exalted sense of honor.
Through all the storms he calmly
pursued the path of light that led
him to his eternal home.
HE was a manly man, an exam
pie of majestic manhood and
Christian gentleness. Few knew of
his years of intense suffering, for
he forgot pain IN helping others.
His creed could have been express
ed in a few words, but he carried
out Christ's commandment in heal
ing the sick and comforting the
broken-hearted.
DIR. Hanson was charitable and
tolerant toward all religions. He
had faith in his fellowmen, and
earnestly tried to do unto others
as he would be done by; through
all, he was his own severest crit
ic."
All walks of life were represent
ed in the large audience that paid
final tribute to the beloved doctor.
Foremost among those attending
were his former associates, men,
bers of the MEGA County Medical
association, who were honorary
pallbearers. From the hospital
where he worked for many years,
were the sisters and the nurses
who had worked with him.
From Denver came two former
friends and associates, DR.. J. NJ.
Shields and DR.. George R. Warner,
both having made their homes in
this city in previous years. Also
from out of town was DR.. J. r.
Rowe, superintendent of the D. &
r. G. hospital at Salida, and an
old friend of DR.. Hanson's.
Music for the services was fur
nished by Mrs. T. J. Treece, Guy
E. Jones and Miss Oma LETTERS.
Mrs. Treece sang 20, Dry Those
Tears; and as a duet number, she
and Mr.. Jones sang Nearer My
God to Thee" Miss LETTERS accom-
panied them. ...
Pallbearers were A. T. Gormley,
Guy Sternberg, ]. A. Beyrer, Tom
Copeland, w. ]. Meyer and Chris
Pond. Arrangements were in
charge of the Krohn funeral home.
This morning the body of the
well known physician who died on

remains.

of which Is still to be found, were
built on the same lines that the
engineers Of today would use. Then
In the days of the Gold Rush to
California in 40. water from the
streams was used to wash gold
and later to irrigate gardens. The
Mormons went out about that time
to Utah and diverted some of the
streams down the burrows Of their
fields. The gold seekers also car
ried the idea with them as they re-
turned from California, but most
credit for irrigation is given to the
Mormons.
In the early days irrigation to
provide moisture for hay meadows
was as important as water for hu-
mans and animals. Alfalfa Is init
mately related to irrigation every
where. The Monks brought this
plant from Spain in the early days.
The history of the small irriga-
ton projects is that they usually
paid. but the large ones went
through a lot Of grief. In tie ma

projects defeated their own pur-

Small projects to irrigate gardens

miners and settlers were valuable.

market and became a glut on the

Abanians Oldest People

The Albanians are an old people,
the oldest it Is said In southeastern
Europe. Their ancestors occupied
the country along the eastern shore
OF the Adriatic. called Illyrium by
the Romans and Epiros by the
Greeks, before the beginnings of
Rome or Greece; and, although in
the succeeding centuries they have
at different times been subject to
the Macedonians, Romans, Goths,
Slavs, Normans, Venetians and fin
ally the Turks, they have on &C
count Of their strong nationalistic
character been able to maintain
themselves practically unmixed
with other peoples.
About the most that can be said,
notes writer in the New York
Herald Tribune. is that their vari-
Gus overlords have here and there
added few words to their other
wise unique language. Like the
Scotch and the Welsh, their noun
tain homes defied complete subju-
CATION.
While the Albanians are one Of
the oldest of European peoples,
they are also one of the most prim-
tive. Their seclusion arrested
their development centuries ago
with the result that their mode Of
living more resembles that Of me-
dieval than modern times. The in
terrelation Of society Is almost that
