Selected Greater Protection
Against Foreign Enemies
Is the End Desired.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, July 2L The "War Department
has taken steps to defend Puget Sound
more effectually against foreign enemies
by authorizing the construction of coast
artillery posts at Forts "Worden and Casey.
For this purpose $240,000 has been allotted
for erecting frame barracks and officers'
quarters for two companies of Coast Ar
tillery each, together with guardhouses,
etables and administrative offices, and
other smaller buildings necessary to equip
an Army post. The buildings will be
erected by contract, according to plans

Department. It is proppsed to provide
quarters for one company at each post,
before the full equipment Is undertaken,

erecting small buildings and making re
pairs at the Coast Artillery posts, which

Columbia River.

BRYAN WILL NOT GIVE UP.
Will Go East Attain to Worlc Aprui nut
a Reorganized Dcmocrncv.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, July 2L Bryan Is coming East
In another endeavor to prevent
the reorganization element from get
ting control of the Democratic party.
He has given out interviews saying the
money question is still a vital Issue, but
declaring more particularly against
trusts and Imperialism, and he will prob
ably harp on that string In his coming
speech. He continues to denounce Cleve
land and Hill, as do most of his lieu
tenants. While Bryan prates about
money, Pettigrew, one of his ardent sup
porters, makes a statement here that
Eryan will not be the next candidate, but
in case the reorganizes get control of
the Democratic party, Bryan will help to
organize a party of his own and oppose
the Cleveland-HHI element. It Is an
nounced here that a Democrat who re
cently visited Bryan is going to stump
Indiana against the Democratic state
ticket because the Kansas City platform
was turned down In the conventions. A
great deal of Interest attaches to Bry
an's visit to observe the effect it will
have upon state conventions yet to be
held. Bryan is urging men to watch the
primaries to see that the reorganlzers
do not gain control of the party.

Port of Cnrnpnno Closed.
WILLEMSTAD. Island of Curacao, July
21. The Official Gazette, of Caracas, pub
lishes an official decree adding Carupano
to the list of ports closed to trade and

few months, and at present the revolu
tionists hold the place, hence the attempt
of the government to prevent ships enter
ing there and paying customs duties to
their enemies.

WALNUT FOR FENCE RAILS
Too Valuable a Wood for Such Ev-ery-Day
Purposes.
Chicago Chronicle.
The best black walnut In the United
States .is found in Indiana. Forty years
ago there could be found In this state a
crop of black walnut unequaled in quan
tity ana quality. Today it Is not to be
found In such Immense trees. Neither Is
the number of trees by any means so
numerous. Years ago the largest and
best trees were used for fence rails and
such common purposes. At that time It
had no particular commercial value. Be
fore walnut came .Into general use, tho
most of domestic furniture was in cherry.
Walnut has now entirely superseded this
and all other woods. Fence rails can be
found today through Indiana that were
split more than a half century ago, and
they pre as sound now as then, save the
wear nnd tear. Of all hard woods, the
walnut Is most durable, save red cedar,
and possibly In the ground black locust
would equal It.
Our walnut Is comparatively gone. In
isolated parts of the country where the
timber grows there Is yet some of In
ferior quality, but to a limited extent.
But the general black walnut growing In
the deep.forest. In the rich lowlands. In
Its primitive nature. Is a thing of the
past. The general supply must now be
gathered from the four quarters of the
earth to supply a demand that requires
a century for Its culmination, and Its
culmination witnesses the astounding
spectacle of the almost entire extinction
of the valuable material.
Kentucky has quite a good stock of
black walnut and much that is very In
ferior on account of its gray color and
i tough, hard texture. Missouri also has

The RiRbt to Bite.
Chicago Tribune.
Once there was a man who sued another
mm because the other man's dog chased
his cat. He said his cat had suffered from
nervous derangement ever afterwards and
that her value as a household pet had been
lmpilred. The attorney for the defendant
Viii thof th dojr had not chased the cat
out of any malicious desire to derange her
nervous system, out sirapiy oui 01 s"""
humor and regard for tradition. He was
taking advantage of the Inherent, Inalien
able and immemoriil right the dog has al
ways had to chase the cat whenever he
pleased. A ,
A similar right has Just been estab
lished for the dog In Missouri. Mr. Si
mon owned a thoroughly exemplary dog
called Jupiter. Mr. Qulnn owned a less
exemplary boy called Willie. Jupiter was
basking In the sun when Willie found him.
To Willie's tiste basking was rather slow
fun. There were other things that would
add more zest to life. Accordingly, he
tied a tin can to Jupiter's tail. Now.
Jupiter was not a bully, but neither was
he a nonreslstant. The can annoyed him.
He bit Willie. Willie ran home and told
his father. His father prosecuted Mr. Si
mon. Fortunately, Judge SIdener was a
man of discernment. His decision was
that Mr. Qulnn was to pay the costs of
the trial. The dog was not to blame, for,
as the decision most admirably says:
inr rfnr has a. lfcnl and undeniable rich to
bite any man, woman or child who purposely
and with Intent to disturb said dog's tranquil
lity and peace of mind does attach or cause to
be attached to said dog's tall a tin can or oth
er weight which will Impede, or tend to Im
pede, the progress of said animal. A dog which
bites its persecutor in such a case Is acting
purely and honestly In oelf-defetue, and Is as
Justly Immune from punishment as the man
who strikes at a burglar in defense of his own
life and welfare.
This seems no more thin reasonable, and
It Is to be hoped, that the courts of other
states in the. "Union will take the same
stand. The tin-canned dog has rights
which deserve recognition.
DAILY USE OF WORDS.
Men Ordinarily Give Utterance to
Many Thousnniln of Phrnses.
New Orleans Times-Democrat.
"I have been trying to figure out how
many words the average man utters In
every 24 hours," said a gentleman who
has a penchant for peculiar things, "but
I have been unablb to reach any satis
factory conclusion on account of the dif
ferent rates of speed at which different
persons talk. Of course, I have no refer
ence to the different kinds of words
which may be found In the dally vocab
ulary of the average man. but I am
talking about the total- number of words
uttered, counting repetitions and all, dur
ing every 24 hours. There Is the quiet. J
metancnoiy genueman, wno win not
speak on an average of 500 words a day.
and there are many who for one reason '
and another would not utter anything I
like this number. On the other hand
there Is the conversational Gatllng gun,
not always a woman either, who will
roll off words at a fearful rate of speed,
and whose aggregate for one day would
run up to dizzy heights. Then there Is
the normal talker, who will strike a good,
decent average the man who will neither
bore you with his Indifferent silence nor
tire you with his meaningless verbosity.
"But suppose we figure Jhatthe average
person will utter an average "of 40 word3
every minute or about 57.600 words for
every 24 hours. Of course, no person will
talk this much, as the windiest of men
and women would probably break down

Sunstroke Insurance
When the summer's heat gets about 90 de
grees, you are liable to be sunstruck any
time you are out in the sun, unless you take
proper precautions. Several vears ago,
the writer of this, who has spent much of
his life in the tropics, thought he was safe
from sunstroke. One day' he collapsed,
remained unconscious for five hours, and
at times his life was despaired of. As a
matter of fact, any person whose stomach
and bowels are in bad shape in the sum

less under normal conditions.
That's all there is to it. Stom

The only question Is as to how much time

so that they cannot talk during the day.
except at meal time, on account of the
character of work they have to do.
There are others, such as traveling men,
for Instance, who depend upon talk for
their living. I have figured that the high
man, probably the traveling man, will
talk five hours out of every 24, which
would give him a total of 12,000 words
every day. I have figured that most any
sort of a man will talk as. much as 10
minutes out of every 24 hours, and this
would give him a total of 900 words for
the day.
