COUNTY WILL KEEP ENGINEER SYSTEM A county engineer—what is he? The supreme court of this state has found him to be an officer of such high rank in duties and authority that he cannot be allowed to exist in one county unless he exists in all other counties of the state. Co-incident with the arrival of a copy of the decision of the supreme court knocking the pins out from under the county engineers of the state, comes the word that the board of supervisors of Orange county is anxious to continue the county engineer system as built up in this county, and steps are to be taken next week for the passage of whatever county ordinances may be necessary to sustain the system. The decision of the supreme court was rendered in an action brought against the auditor of Sonoma county. The superior court of that county and the appellate court upheld the law allowing a board of supervisors to create the office of county engineer. Act Now Dead The supreme court took the opposite view of the case, and since its say in the matter was final, the county engineer act is now officially dead. The reason given by the supreme court for declaring it an invalid act, briefly, is as follows: Under the state constitution, all officers of general executive authority must be provided for for all counties alike. The powers attempted to be given the county engineer act passed by the legislature in 1919 are so broad that the county engineer becomes an officer of such authority that it is impossible to allow him to be provided for in some counties and not in others. Under the 1918 act, the county engineer system could be entered into voluntarily by a court holds that the system must be mandatory or not at all. Fourteen counties of the fifty-eight in the state went under the county engineers system. Four counties operating under special charters have engineers. These are not disturbed by the supreme court decision. In the The Village Gossip Her name was Maud—and her every movement gave evidence of utter boredom. It may have been due to the enervating heat of the mid-October day—or jealousy may have been the basis of her mental status—But it was all too apparent that she had lost all interest in life—So when the driver of the beet wagon of the John Green ranch at Westminster pressed her into service, together with seven other of her species, she felt that—"this is the beginning of the end"—or whatever it is a mule thinks about at such times—Came then the long, hard pull to the beet dump—the fussing around at the weighing station and all the other red tape that means nothing in the life of a world-heavy mule—it surely was a hard existence—The top of the dump was reached—why not end it all? Putting the thought, into immediate action, and having no intention of leaving her mate behind, a prey for some horrid mule vampire, Maud simply took him in hand, and together they hurled themselves from the dump—But that thrilling leap through the air—it would have given a movie star pangs of jealousy—maybe—it must have given Maud a new stant on life, for both she and her mate landed on all eight feet, and—nonchalantly they left the scene of the attempted murder and suicide, to explore the neighboring community—just like that. FEWER HUNTER SOUT DENVER, Oct. 25—Increase in the license fee for big game from $2 to $5 by the Twenty-third assembly has greatly reduced the number of hunters who have gone into the deer country this year. Reports on the number of licenses sold by county clerks and others authorized by law to sell licenses are not yet available, but information which has reached the office of Roland G. Parvin, state game and fish commissioner, indicates the number of hunters has dropped to one-half of former years. It is doubtful whether more than 500 hunting parties were in the hills.

These are not disturbed by the supreme court decision. In the fourteen counties operating county engineers systems under the 1919 act Orange and Riverside counties are included. New System Compact Under the act, county road and bridge maintenance and construction were centralized under one executive head—the county engineer. Before the system was adopted, each supervisor was the head of the road and bridge work in his district. The board departed from the system for the engineer system because the engineer system was found to be business like and compact, while the old system could not be operated otherwise than in a loose fashion. Plans for continuing the present system under some method of delegated authority will doubtless be worked out within the next week by the board of supervisors and District Atty. A. P. Nelson. HALLOWE'EN Tis in the air and all about; Much mystery; Goblins within and ghosts without; Such witchery! There's nothing they won't do tonight If you fulfill tradition right, And wish your wish with all your might Twill granted be. My say to go at midnight sharp, And do not tarry; You'll see in your mirror by candle-light The one you'll marry. Go while the clock yet strikes the hour; If fearful, the wisp will lose its power If when you look your spirit cowers, You vex the fairy. In wee sma' hour go three times three. Around the house; You speak no word and make no sound; Be quiet as a mouse. Wish your wish as round you go; Drop your apple-seeds thus and so; Think of the thing you are anxious to know While spooks carouse.

Man is not satisfied with the commonplace. He soon ceases to be interested in matters or things which have become a part of the routine of his existence. Wonders which attract his attention are those which are strange to him. Beauties which stir his admiration are those which are unfamiliar. Dangers which arouse his caution are those beyond his ordinary experience. Perhaps nothing attracts more frequent attention from all kinds of individuals than the stakes of objects which are either smaller or larger than usual, or which approach or exceed the known extremes of largeness or smallness. Now and then the question is raised as to what is the smallest animal. The question seems simple enough, but it is amazingly difficult to answer to the satisfaction of all who may wish to know the answer. In the first place "animal" is a word with widely different meanings for different people. To many it means nothing more than a few domestic animals, such as cat and dog, together with a few menagerie animals, such as lion, tiger and elephant. To others it means only mammals. To others it means all back-boned animals except man. To others it means all living things except man which visibly move about. To the qualified scientist it means all living things which are not plants. In the second place, it is necessary to consider comparable stages in existence of animals. It would be meaningless to compare as to size the smallest stage of existence of the elephant with the full grown stage of the dog. But, on account of marked differences in the growth and development of animals, it is not always easy to tell what stages are comparable, especially amongst very low forms. In discussing smallness of size amongst animals, we may at once dismiss all thought of those can be seen with the unaided eye, for there are thousands and thousands of kinds which can only be seen by aid of a microscope. A very great many of the smallest of these live in the bodies of plants and other animals, in which they cause disease, and they can only be seen under the microscope after most laborious processes of preparation. As most of us know, living things are said to be one-celled or man-veled according to whether they consist of one building unit (something like a self-sufficient brick) or of many building units. Hence one might be disposed to think that all one-celled animals must be small. The R.A.
