plan than in the Kogiio Kiver valley,"
said Mr. Davis today. "In no place
are t ho opportunities tor investment
better and no place lias any more prom
ising future.
"San Diego is now n city of 40,(100
and has been growing rapidly; Los
Angeles has doubled in the past few
years; San T rennsieo is rebuilding rat
idly, but none of them looks better to
me, or as well, as Hertford."

PREHISTORIC
MONSTER IS
UNEARTHED
George Isaacs Writes
of Mammoth Dug up
onthatwas Over Hun
dred Feet in Length.
Miss Agues Isaacs lately received the
following letter from her brother, (ieo.
W. Isaacs of Vancouver. M. C:
"1 Went To see the greatest prehis
toric wonder of the world lure in
Vancouver last fall. The bones were
discovered by two Vancouver prospect
ors on one of the islands of the (jjucen
Charlotte group, up the Hritish ddiim-
bia coast from this city. They discov
ered the hones and brought them to this
city and I will give you a few of the
dimensions that 1 remember, .just to
give you a slight idea of the immense
size of a live animal that once roamed
this northern country.
Length uf ribs, 14 feet; from one hip
hone over the back to the other, Hi
feet. It was over four feet between
the eyes. lis large tusks were IS feet
long and '24 inches in ci renin ference.
The small joints of its tail were Hi
inches nenns unci tapered down till the
last joint was six inches across. The
peculiar part, of it, there was no mar
row iu its bones. They were in lavers
that matched nicely and were controlled
by large muscles or cords that, passed
through the large lodes for that pur
pose. I may say that the hole in the
big tusk where the nerve center was,
was almost large enough for me to
stick my fist in. The estimated weight
f this animal is l tons; estimated
height. to 40 feet; estimated length.
UK! feet.
"No scientist, has any Knowledge of
this animal and there is nothing in an
ient hi-ftorv about him. These pros
pectors are going to offer the bones to
the highest bidder of auv cilv or gov-
rninont. fur a museum. They esti
mate it will cost. for steel and
work to set the bones up in shape. Now
this is no dream, for it is still on ex
hibition here.'
The mastodon lias for inaiiv vears
been the largo -it animal known, but. its
dimensions haven't a look in when it
comes to size with this last one.
PLANS FOR PROSECUTION
OF ASSASSIN ORCHARD
CAUnVKM,. Feb. .I. I'lans are be
ing laid for the prosecution of Harry
Orchard, the confessed murderer of for

It has been freely predicted that Or

his testimony against 1 1 ay food and Pet

( Indian I himself has repeatedly sworn
that he made no agreement with (In
state before giving his testimony.
