DUBLIN GREETS KING.
Police Jeered and Fought. But Roy
alty la Welcomed.
Dublin, Ireland King George re
ceived a loyal welcome to Dublin. The
king, accompanied by the queen, the
prince of Wales and the princess Mary,
arrived at Kingston harbor on the
royal yacht Victoria and Albert.
The king, living up to his reputa
tion, wants to see all parts of the
empire, and every phase of life in it,
and spent one of the busiest days of
his life looking over Dublin, After
attending several functions in the af
ternoon, he drove to Phoenix Park to
see the races for the king'a cup. He
arrived just in time to see Richard
Croker's Pennant win the fourth race.
Among other affairs which the king
attended was the opening of a play
center in the poorest and roughest
district in Dublin. It was a time of
the greatest anxiety for the police.

EXPLOSION KILLED "SPRINGS

Young Poultry,
Chicago Commission merchants and
housewives have wondered why no
spring chickens were coming on the
market and the reason has been ascer
tained. When the Dupont powder
mills at Pleasant Prairie, Wis., blew
up last December, the explosion
wrecked buildings for 25 miles in
every direction and was felt as far
east as Cleveland, O,
and as far south
as St. Louis.
At that time much attention was

their nests in terror and wandered
about in distress for hours.
The hens finally went back to their
task of hatching out broilers and
"spring frys" for the Chicago market,
but the vibration had destroyed the
vitality of the eggs. The few chicks
that were hatched were deformed

Not only were the eggs in process
of being hatched destroyed, but other
eggs, later placed under the hens for
the second and third consignments for,
the market, turned out just as badly.
fr , thls aati no genuine spring
ch"ens are coming on the Chicago
market except from the West and
South.
The market here depends largely
upon Wisconsin and Northern Illinois
for its "springers," but they do not
exist this year.
In setting up the damage claims,
the adjusters took stock of wrecked ' a
buildings, broken windows, twisted
trees and all that, but had no know

Postmen Get Salary Lift.
Washington The 40,000 odd rural
free delivery carriers in the United
States are to receive salary increases
as a result of a decision by Postmaster-General
Hitchcock. The order
has provided for the disbursement
jduring the current fiscal year of $4,
000,000, which will mean an increase
of $100 a year over the present salary
of 1900 for all carriers on standard
routes. The system was started 15
years ago with 83 carriers, who re
ceived $200 a year. On July 1, there
were 41,562 carriers.
Motorcyclist Hits Car.
Spokane, Wash. Apparently un
able to gain control of his motorcycle
when a trolley car blocked the thor
oughfare before him, Henry Simpson,
aged 19 years, made a heroic effort to
save hia little friend, Robert Johnson,
aged 9 years, who was a passenger,
but the machine struck the car with
terrific force and while the two boys
escaped instant death, they were un
conscious at a late hour and are be
lieved to be fatally injured.

Hut the fact that woman suffrage
robbed him of his Job, and for nearly

lessened Murray's ardor for equal suf

EXPERTS TO EXAMINE MAINE.
Exact Cause of Explosion Sought By
Navy Department.
Washington. July 6. A board of
naval exerts Is being selected by
the Navy Department to ttudy the
hull of the battleship Maine, In Ha
vana harbor, as the water Is pumped
from the cofferdam now surrounding
the wreck.
The Navy Department officers are
confident that the examination will
prove the correctness of the findings
of the Sampson board, which decided
that the explosion which sank the
Maine was caused by a torpedo or
mine and that the explosion of ehlp's
magazines followed.
In view of the renewed Interest at
taching to the srtial cause of the
destruction of the Maine. General
i W. II. Hi x bee. chief of engineers, who

of the bonus Merrill has put up to

that the llarrlman system needs this
short cut line to handle Us business
at less expense.
Japanese Busy Clesrlng Land.
Dee. M. Moyoka. a Japanese orch
ardlst, has purchased U acres ad
joining his home place, which he will
begin clearing at once. lie has 40
acres In trees and plants. Five acres
of trees will be In bearing next year
Thus far this year he has mnrketed
150 crates of strawierrlea. He has
35.000 strawberry plants and will plant
as many more this fall.
The big flume now being built by
the Oregon Lumber Company passes
through the Moyoka tract, and will
supply an abundance nf water.
The Japanese method of clearing
land of fir stumps has proved eco
nomical and effective. It Is to dig
away the dirt from the stump, ex
posing the roots, and then pile logs
and brush on the stump. If log
are lacking, sufficient powder Is used
to crack the stump, making It more
easy to burn. No grubbing machine
Is used and the saving on powder l.
considerable. A Japanese who tin
derstnnds clearing land commands as
bluh a wage as does a white man.
Build Mountain Trail.
Kerby. Plans nre under way to
build a first class trail from Kerby
west to the headwaters of the Chetco

region Is Im-aied lllgglns' Col. ten

contributed $100 to this work, and
the people of the district have do
nated generously and will donate
more.
This trail will ojten to mining men
and prosiiectors the rich mineral re
glon to the west and will be of vast
benefit to the mining Industry of the
county. The trail crosses the Illinois
River. Josephine Creek and Canyon
