a; lbs present time. Dr. Leonard
Is examining a peculiar and al
most unheard of tooth formation
In the akull.
The cuspid tooth of the upper
row of teeth, tustead of extending
downward from Its roots, and fit
ting In line with the other teeth,
protrudes upward, extending al
most to the eye. Instead of being
uf the normal size and shape, the
tooth Is tapered down to a sharp
point on the end, resembling more
of an abbreviated tusk. While
teeth have been known, very rare
ly, to grow upward from the up
per layer, among humans of the
present day, the extraordinary
site and shape of th petrified
"tusk" leads examiner familiar
with teeth anatomy to believe it
entirely possible that a atrange
physical race of people roamed
the Oregon country hundreds of
years ago.
Dr. Coble la disappointed at not
being able to locate the rest of
tbe akeleton that other peculiar

Dr. Coble accldently came upon It.

noted the seams of the skull and
proceeded to unearth It. Appar
ently the head had been severad
from the body, for no tracea of
the rest of tbe skeleton were to

which forces Itinerant venders to

letter, and to arrest all peddlers
without proper license. Also signs

the city, calling the attention of the
peddlers to the city's license re
quirements. Some discussion was put forth
relative to collections, and partic

ploying workers who owe honest
debts with the Klamath store men.
It was pointed out at (he meeting
that most companies offer little or

exception always ready to assist.

"In looking over the Klamath
field we aaw a splendid opportunity
for a fruit and produce concern,1
said Mr. Oholaon, who arrived Just
recently from the Spokane offices
of the concern. "Not only do we
forsee the possibilities In local re

other cities."
Tbe concern has operated a small

for the purchase of the site on
Spring street. ' Prior to that time

fact. The road was determined not
to enter Into any quarrels or lo
take sides in any manner, and it
was not their desire to antagonize
any railroad, large or small, already
here in the slightest degree. "We
are coming here not to split existing
tonnage, but to create more," the
Judge explained.
Speaking of the present Hill sur

stricken In Paris. A slight opera
tion was performed at that time,
and he was removed to England
where a major operation was per
formed on March 21. He was 72
years old.
The Earl of Ypres entered his
ninjesty's service as a sailor, gained
fume as a cavalry leader, and cli
maxed a bold career by command
ing the British armies In a war In
which cavalry was superseded by
tanks, armored cars and airplanes.
It was as Sir John French that
Ypres won fame In the Boer war as
a masterly cavalryman, who turned
a fiasco Into victory for the British
army. When he retired from the
British command in France he waa
made a viscount, and after serving
from 1918-21 as lord lieutenant ot
Ireland, the earldom was conferred,
and Viscount French took tor his)
title the place of his most famous
victory in the World war. ;he vil
lage known as Ypres.
Sir Douglas Halg. now Earl Halg,
succeeded him as British comman
der in France In 1915, and the lat
ter became commander-in-chief ot
the troops In Great Britain.
The son of a navul captain, the
Earl of Ypres Joined 11. M. S. Brlt-

cadet and midshipman In the royal
navy for four years. He entered
the army by way of the eighth hus
sars in 1874.
Ypres directed the retreat from
Mona, a difficult, costly and unin
spiring maneuver, but military ex
perts had great praise for his mas
terly conduct of It,
