Remalna of Mammoth Bear Lie
Near Pigmy — Believed to
Prove Geological Theory.
Ix>» Angelos—The skeleton of what
appears to have been a prehistoric
pigmy, leaa than three feet In height,

l.a Brea to the Smithsonian Institu

ness of the find Is verified there, the
La Brea skeleton will take place In
the history of anthropology ns the first
remains of antediluvian man found on
the North American continent.
"To my mind," said Director Frank
Daggett, of the museum of history,
science and art, under whose direction
the excavations have been carried on,
"there can bo no doubt that these
bones aro those of a vnan.
To what
geographical jteriod he belonged must
be a matter of conjecture. Only care
ful researches yet to he made can de
termine the truth."
Indications are that the skeleton be
longs to the pleistocene period, rough
ly placed at 200,000 years ago. First
was found the skull.
Since then the
remainder of the skeleton, said to be
in an excellent state of preservation,
have been scraped from their caaing
of asphalt with the moot minute and
painstaking care.
Near by was the trunk, still erect,
of a tree, the top of which was over
laid by 20 feet of asphalt. Close to
the tree trunk were the bones of a
mammoth bear, of a species already
classified as belonging to the pleisto
cene period.
Seientiota of the University of Cali
fornia have contended that North
America and Asia were at one time
joined, and that, geologically speak

in the Aleutian islands.
Across this

eohippus, the little two-toed progeni

Many Saw mills Plan
to Resume Operations
More than a dozen lumber -and
shingle mills in Southwestern Wash

winter months are arranging to re
sume operation* within the next few
weeks.
The Mutusl Lumber company at Te
nino, it is learned, has arranged to
start operations immediately, after an
idleness of three or four months.
Both its mill and logging camp will
become active.
The Martin mill at Centralia will
start work about March 1.
Mean
while some repairs to the plant are In
progress.
The Vennesa mill at Winock, Wash.,
is another plant that is preparing to
begin work again.
The plant will be
running full blast'by March 1, it is
reported.
At Castle Rock the plant of the
Bulland Shingle company will resume
activity about March 1.
It has been
idle for several months.
At various other places in the ter
ritory immediately tributary to the
O.-W. R. & N. lines a resumption of
operations Is due within the next few
weeks.
The mills of the Harvey Milling
company, of Vancouver, on the North
Fork of the Lewis river, have resumed
operations and are employing nearly
100 men. The DuBois Lumber com
pany's mill in Vancouver also recently
resumed operations.
Men Favor; Women Fight.
Visalia, Cal.—Five hundred women
took part in an anti-saloon demonstra

city. Prior to the parade the women
organized themselves into an auxiliary

Visalia and pledged themselves to vote
against the ordinance granting licenses
to saloons.
Miss Carrie Barnett, a
teacher in the public schools, was
elected president.
The Merchants’

election will be held February 24.
Postal Bill Is Swelled.
Washington, D. C.—Nearly $6,000,-

measure.
It now carries $310,000,-

be increased under the bill to 11200,
the total increkse for thia purpose
amounting to $4,360,000.

The speaker of the Diet ordered the

Registered Dairy Cattle
Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis—There are approximately 6000
members of the Holstein-Fresian
association in the United States, and
only 30 of the number are in Oregon.
While It is true that the Holstein
breed has not received the attention
that some of the other dairy breeds
have, there are a great many Holstein
cattle, pure bred and high grade, in
the state; far more than enough' to
account for the three score member
ships in the great organization. The
poor showing seems to be due to the
unorganized condition of the industry
rather than to the scarcity of Holsteins.
As compared with the other Pacific
Coast states Oregon again fails to
make a flattering showing. Washing
ton has fully twice as many members
as Oregon, and California has more
than four times as many. British Co
lumbia has but five members and Al
berta but one.
The main Holstein
belt as developed to the present time,
is pretty well defined, running along
the Middle and Northern sections of
the United States.
Within this belt the industry is de
veloped marvelously in many places.
New York has a membership in the
association of about 1700. Wisconsin
is next, with about 900, and other
Upper Mississippi states make almost
as good a showing. And a really re
markable development is indicated in
the small New England states, some
of which have memberships running
along Into the hundreds. Missouri,
Texas and some other Southern states,
furnish a good many members of the
association.
These members have admitted 12,-
000 cows and 850 btAls to advanced reg
istry. For this registry three things
are required: The cow must make an
official record of butterfat production
during a seven-day test; her dam
must have been in the advanced regis
try; and her sire must have four
daughters in the advanced registry.
The benefits of the association are
many. Members test their cows and
learn which are profitable and which
are not. The breeder desirous of im
proving the dairy ability of his herd
knows precisely which animals to se
lect for breeding, and is able to dem
onstrate their worth to his customers
and neighbors.
He also raises the
standard of the breed and thereby
makes his own individuals more valu
able. When the testing is properly
done it increases the value of his
cows, since the official tester is able
oftentimes to make valuable sugges
tions for developing the dairy qualities
of the cows tested.
A good many dairymen and farmers
wish to make tests for the advanced
registry and for other purposes, but
do not know how to begin.
Assist
ance will be given as far as possible
by the Dairy department of the Ore
gon
Agricultural college
through
the extension division.
Any respon
sible group of dairymen or farmers
may secure thia assistance by making
application. Expert dairymen will be
sent to assist iq organizing associa
tions in any dairy community, regard
less of the breed of cattle used, and
provide for carrying on the work of
testing and recording.

EXCLUSION LAW
Commissioner Declares Illegal
Practice Is General.
Japanese "Photo Brides” Menace
Laboring Classes- Certain to
Make Trouble Later.
Washington, D. C.—Commissioner
General Caminetti, of the bureau of
immigration, in his first annual report,
to Secretary Wilson,
recommended
certain 'modifications of the Chinese
exclusion act, and expressed the opin
ion that great care should be taken
with the seaman's bill, pending in
congress; declaring that "the sea
man’s bill, on the one hand, and the
immigration and Chinese exclusion
laws on the other, cannot be properly
enforced
unless
their terms are
brought into substantial and practical
accord.”
Commissioner Caminetti, speaking
of the general question of Asiatic im
migration, comments on "aliens em
ployed on vessels,” and what he says
is the danger of Chinese and other
Asiatics reaching the country unlaw
fully by serving as seamen and desert
ing.
As to Japanese immigration, he ex
presses doubt whether the "photo
graph" brides, after
having gone
through a marriage ceremony by
proxy, recognized as legal in Japan,
are really entitled to admission. He
says be does not believe “any such
marriage is binding on the United
States In the administration of immi
gration laws; and also that there is no
treaty with Japan, or other arrange
ment whatsoever, that provides for
the recognition by the United States
of the so-called marriage of a woman
in Japan with a man who may be in the
United States ’at the alleged date of
the same."
He says there seems to be need of
repetition and emphasis of the state
ment in the ex-commissioner general’s
report, which declared that the prac
tice of admitting such women “opens
the way for the introduction into con
tinental United States of large bodies
of common laborers— females, it is
true, but none the less competitors of
the laborers of this country—and this
practice must necessarily result in
constituting a large native-born Jap
anese population— persons who, be
cause of tbeir birth on American soil,
will be regarded as American citizens,
although tbeir parents cannot be nat
uralized.”
Despite the fact that everything
possible under existing law is being
done, said Mr. Caminetti, to prevent
the entry of Chinese not entitled to
be here, "Chinese laborers are con
stantly gaining admission, in the guise
of minor eons of merchants, students,
natives or eons of natives.”
