The bone was found 11 feet in the earth on a beaverdam deposit and must have been buried for thousands o f years. It is well preserved and measures six inches in diam eter. Search was made for other portions o f the skeleton, but nothing was found, and it is evi dent that the femur had been washed some distance. This is the first discovery of the bone o f a mammoth in this vicinity which could be well de fined as such. Christian Church. Last Sunday night, the audi ence at the Christian Church completely filled the house to hear the first o f some special evening sermons being preached by the pastor. The second num ber o f this series will be given next Sunday evening and is en titled ‘ ‘TheUnfaiIing Detective. ” This sermon will be well worth the hearing especially to young men and young people. The morning theme will be “ Different Phases of Church Fellowship.” As next Sunday is World’s Tem perance Sunday, there will be some special features in the Bible School session that will be worth hearing, and the Christian Endeavor Society is also planning something unique for their ser vice at 6:30. You cannot afford to miss any o f these services. A cordial welcome extended the public.

VISITS NEW YORK CIGARETTE FACTORY _______ “ Others may take their after dinner cigarettes, but just make a toothpick for mine,” said Fred Lockly, manager o f the Pacific Monthly this morning. He has recently returned from « month’s visit in New York, and after ex ploring certain sections o f the east side arrived at the conclus ion quoted above. Mr, Lockly went into a dimly lighted cellar on a squalid street where he found hundreds o f frail Italian and Jewish girls con verting “ snipes” plucked from spittoons and gutters into cigar ettes, These cigarettes are sold unbranded to manufacturers, who put them out under the various names and brands, he was in formed. The “ snipes” are taken from the filth of saloon floors and cus pidors, from the under ground dives, from the streets and the garbage can. Germs of every disease known to man may be found lurking in the folds of these snipes. It is said that the maker takes no means to rid the tobacco of the filth contained in them. “ I was told a man simply took his life in his own hand when he entered one of these places,” said Mr. Lockly, “ but I started out to see things and I didn’ t want to overlook anything. My companion refused to enter the cellar with me and even urged me to remain in the daylight so I went in alone. “ Under the dim gas jets iheru were hundreds o f girls wedged' together stripping the folds o f snipes apart. They make no secret of their business and I was informed that the snipes were obtained from every pos sible place—saloons, dives, gut ters and everywhere. They did not hesitate to say that the cigar ettes when made up were sold to the large contributors, who branded them and sold to the smokers of the world. Included in the sale o f cigarettes are bil lions of disease germs o f every description, which may account for the emaciated appearance of the average inveterate cigarette smoker.” The girls in the establishment frhich Mr. Lockly visited were pale and listles; many are afflicted with tuberculosis and other di seases contracted, it is presumbed, while handling the germ laden tobacco. Mr. Lockly said he did not see the remains o f tobacco chews on the table at which the girls worked but nearly every other variety o f discarded tobacco was in evidence. Tillamook Herald. The Commercial Club met Tuesday evening. The Hillsboro delegation, representing t h e Washington County and Hills boro Development League, were present. The Clubs o f the Coun ty are expecting to co-operate in the matter o f advertising this county and the local Club has on hands some interesting work. The meeting was well attended and arrangements made for many of our citizens to visit Hillsboro Club next Friday evening.
