York, on May 24 to June 12. dur ing the three weeks given to the na tional championships for men by the National Bowling association.

Thi is the only tournament for wo men that will be held in the big gar den. There will be no entry or other fees of any kind, and every competitor will have free admission to the garden during the tournament. Club member ship is unnecessary, as the entries are all made by individual registration. In recognition of the eastern ladies' bowl tag congress, an organization of 300 or more members,, that has done so much for bowling among women tajthe east, the garden event will be conducted under Its rules, which are the same as those of the New York Bowling asso ciation. The first prize will be a valuable diamond emblem, probably in the form of a brooch or locket suitably engrav- pil This trnnhv will In rpcnirnized ns represents those mterestea, is masing . emblematie of the world's champion ship.

At that time there was a line that ran down Front street and west on Center street to the O. R, & N. station. Horses were used as motive power and finally it was abandoned. " General interest in the new enterprise prevails and it is understood Portland people have raised sufficient capital to put in the line. Domestic Science At Baker Encouraged by the excellent exhibit made by Baker City school for : the Se attle Fair .Superintendent Churchill will make an effort to add a course of do mestic science to the school work next year. Last year he inaugurated man ual training and it has proven so thor oughly satisfactory that the entire com munity is anxious for this kind of train ing to continue. ; With domesticrscier.cf added, the course of study in the city schools will be complete, and occording to Professor Churchill, "no boy will be graduated who cannot use a saw, and no girl will ever receive a diploma who cannot cook a square meal and darn a sock.

The the iATE TO'QUIT LEPER COLONY. Persons Ordered Away For Examina tion Want to Return, Even if Well. Oue of the curious phases of life at the Molokai leper settlement was il lustrated when seveu persons from the settlement were taken to Honolulu, in Hawaii, a few days ago to be re examined to determine whether they are now afflicted with leprosy or not. They are all persons who have been at the settlement a considerable time. most of tHern several years. They are to be re-examined because when the members of the legislature visited the settlement some weeks ago these indi viduals showed uo outward sign of the disease, and their re-examination was asked for by some of the legislators. But when these seven were directed by the superintendent of the settle ment to get ready to go: to Honolulu to be re-examined they all demurred. They declared they did not want to leave the settlement, even if it should be proved that they were free from the terrible disease. They asked that assurances be given them that if they were found ; free from leprosy they would be permitted to return to the settlement as kokuas or helpers to lepers.'. This is not at all an unusual experi ence, l hough the dread of being sent to, the settlement is so great among the Hawaiians that they hide their af flicted until hiding is no longer pos sible, once they live at the settlement the life there is so care free, so. well provided in material comforts, that sel dom is there any desire to leave.

Each woman will roll three games, total pins to count, as in the individual competition for the men and boys. Games will be rolled only in the afternoon. Quite as much interest has been awakened among the women In the west over this tournament as among those In the east aDd in Greater New York. Miss Gertrude Hull of Chicago, who won the Olympic championship at St. Louis; Miss Birdie Kern, daugh ter of Martin Kern of St. Louis, the former national champion; Miss Herr mann, daughter of Garry Herrmann of Cincinnati, chairman of the national baseball commission; Miss Bergman of Philadelphia and many women bowl ers of note will all be competitors for the diamond medal. In the garden they will meet for the first time the best of the east, among them Mrs. P. J. Riddell. who defeated Mrs. Hull at Rochester last year, and all the stars of the eastern ladies' bowling congress. In this competition, as in that for the men and boys, where tournament conditions make the result extremely open, every woman bowler will have an equal chance to win the diamond trophy and the world's championship. Rather remarkable are the results when a person with an inclination for mathematics ' delves Into figures per taining to the national bowling cham pionship tournament. . On the basis that r00 five man teams will compete, there will be 30.000 games rolled 300,000 frames. Figur ing on eighteen balls to a game, 540,- 000 deliveries will be made. With each- ball traveling eighty-five feet and back, or 170 feet to each de livery, means that 91,800.000 feet, or about 17.386. miles, will be the dis tance covered by bowling balls In the garden. This is six times the distance between New York and San Francisco. Each ball weighing sixteen pounds, a total weight of 8,640,000 pounds will be lifted, or about 4,320 tons, the weight of an ocean steamship. Each bowler will lift and handle nearly half a ton. '. , " Approximately 5,400,000 pins will be knocked down, a weight of 17.550,000 pounds, or 8,775 tons. The combined weight of the balls delivered and the pins knocked do.wn will be greater than the weight of the steamship St Louis. The time for bowling will extend over eighteen days. There will be $50,000 In prizes. $1,000 of which will be given to the winning five man team- There will be three distinct titular competitions five man, two man and Individual. ' . Eighty-five per cent of all the en trance fees are returned to the bowl ers in prizes. Thirty thousand score sheets will be necessary to record tne games, eacn sheet having room for three games and beinsr issued in triplicate. ..The aerial scoring system, by which every person in the garden may follow the progress of each ball rolled, will cost $1,500 to Install. : : - One team will enter from Germany and one or more teams from the I'a cific coast. The tournament will be the largest bowling event ever held, both In point of entries and spectators. Of course a mathematical person, fond of research to an " exhaustive degree; might attempt to ascertain the amount of skin worn off ' the fingers of the bowlers or the amount of nervous en ergy wasted in expressing the feeling of a man who has just missed a spare In the' tournament or encountered an Impossible split. Butterflies to Entertain Passengers on . an Ocean Liner. What will they have next on an ocean liner? A few days ago truck farms and strawberry beds were an nounced as the latest novelties. When they lengthen the ships Just a little bit it may be that they will set up a sort of forest preserve at one end, where the gembok and the Thompson gazelle may be : hunted without the necessity of going to Africa. '' Now it is live butterflies some of them the size of sparrows which are to flutter about the Hamburg-American ship Kaiserin Augusta Victoria and beautify the Ritz Carlton winter garden.' Perhaps in course of time a few bumming birds will keep the but terflies company. ' Who can tell? When the brilliant lights are lit at night the butterflies will come to life and circle about among the diners and the growing plants, the beautiful col ors of their wings blending pleasantly with the illumination. The diners, of course, will be astonished and delight ed. "?lf now-a few blue herons, ma caws, golden pheasants and other birds were freed upon the big ship the pic ture would be even more attractive. COPPER ft NEWTON HARDWARE CO. Successors to .

Dishonest travelers returning on ocean liners will hereafter have diffi culty in eluding customs regulations, according to a Washington dispatch. Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Reynolds has issued an order directing that the paper labels heretofore pasted on baggage to indicate that it had been examined by the customs inspectors be replaced in the service by erasible stencils fixing the mark directly on the baggage. --.'". Customs officials have long complain ed that the pasted labels are frequent ly removed by the owners of the bag gage after the custom house is passed and then used on other baggage not yet examined. The stencils will stop this practice, and as the ink to be used comes off easily the marks will not last long enough to confuse officials. German Prizes For Operas.
