EIGHT TO RESTORE HOME RULE TO IRELAND AS DRAMATIC AS FIGHT WHICH TOOK IT AWAY CENTURY AGO. THBK, One hundred and twenty years ago today occurred the events which resulted in an insurrection for the Independence of Ireland. At midnight of that day Dublin was in an uproar. The doors of a local legislative reform club, a branch of the United Irishmen Society, burst open with a crash. In the doorway stood the scarlet-coated soldiers of the King, covering the assembled Irishmen with their guns. The leaders were arrested and carried off to jail for treason. From this moment dates the in surrection that was fought out four years later. Ireland was flooded with government troops, but the society grew rapidly. Oaths of membership and secrecy were administered. Pikes and munitions of war were secretly distributed and hidden for the uprising. The society had more than 500,000 members at the beginning of 1798. Stern measures to stamp out the rebellion were instituted. The Insurrection began near Spafford on May 24. It raged for a month, closing in the battle of "Vinegar Hill, with victory for the government. The rebellion cost the lives of 150.000 Irishmen and 20.000 English. Three years later the Irish Parliament was removed from Dublin and united with the English at London. NOW. Today, after more than a cen tury under the rule of the Parlia ment at London, it is proposed to restore the Irish Parliament taken away in 1801, and to give Ireland home rule. The country is split in two over the proposition. The Province of Ulster, at the north-, declares against the proposal, while the rest of Ireland demands it. The House of Commons has twice passed the bill, and the third passing, when' the bill becomes a law, is near. More than 100.000 men of Ulster stand In defiance against the pro posed government They are or ganized Into a citizen army, with some of Great Britain's greatest soldiers as their leaders. They are drilling and learning to shoot straight. Munitions of war are being gathered. A fund of $5,000. 000 is being raised for the support of "the dependent relatives of the volunteers who may be wounded or killed in the fighting." The leaders of the government are striving to avert civil war by conciliatory measures. More than 25,000 British troops are assembled today in the government barracks in Ulster to put down any uprising.

T TO BE ISSTJEO. F. 1" lntthe Writes of Scenic "Won der Rivaling Alps, Found 'Within Few Miles of Portland. WASHINGTON, May 3. That the glaciers in Mount Rainier National Park are equal to the celebrated gla ciers of the Alps is brought out in a striking manner by F. E. Matthes, in a pamphlet entitled "Mount Rainier and Its Glaciers," just issued by direction of Secretary Lane. "The impression still prevails in many quarters," says Mr. Matthes. "that true glaciers, such as are found in the Swiss Alps, lo not exist within the confines of the United States, and that to behold one of these rare scenic features one must go to Switzerland, or else to the less accessi ble Canadian Rockies or the inhospit able Alaskan coast. As a matter of fact, permanent bodies of snow and ice. large enough to deserve the name of glaciers, occur on many of our West ern mountain chains: in the Sierra Nevada of California, and farther north, in the Cascade Range. "Easily king of all is Mount Rainier. More than 14.000 feet high, it is over whelmingly impressive, both by the vastness of its glacial mantle and by the striking sculpture of its cliffs. The total extent of its glaciers amounts to no less than 45 square miles, an ex panse far exceeding that of any other single peak in the United States. Many of its individual ice streams are be tween four and six miles long and vie in magnitude and in splendor with the most boasted glaciers of the Alps. Cascading from the summit in all di rections, they radiate like the arms of a great starfish. All reach down to the foot of the mountain and some even advance considerably beyond. Mount Rainier stands on the west edge of the Cascade Range, overlook ing the lowlands that stretch to Puget Sound. Seen from Seattle or Tacoma. 60 and 50 miles distant, respectively, it appears to rise direetlv from level, so insignificant seem the ridges about its base. Yet these ridges them selves are of no mean height, as they rise 3000 to 4000 feet above the valleys that cut through them, and their crests average 6000 feet in altitude. The crowning snow mound, which was once supposed to be the highest point in me united Btates. still bears the proud name of Columbia's Crest It is essentially a huge snowdTift or snowdune, heaped up by the westerly winds. Driving furiously up through the great breach In the west flank of the mountain, between Peak Success and Liberty Cap, they eddy lightly as they shoot over the summit and there deposit their load of snow." This publication, which includes a sKetcn map and z Illustrations show ing the ice fields, and which may be obtained for 15 cents from the Super intendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C, contains detailed descriptions of the principal glaciers and accounts of the peculiar phenomena of the ice fields. such -as the depressions known as snow caps, the Ice cascades, the slabs of rock called glacial tables, and the insects which thrive on the icy fields of snow. 125 POSTAL JOBS OPEN EXAMlXATIOSS FOR OREGON POST MASTERS COMB IN JUNE.
