LIVED UP TO THE ORDERS Livestock Handlers Who Return ed to Work Merely Obeyed Instructions of Officers. ARE READY TO STRIKE AGAIN Strong Inducements Belli? Of fered by Packers to Induce Men to Desert From the Itanks of Strikers. Chicago, Aug. l.--The position of the livestock handler who struck at the stockyards In sympathy with the pack ing house employes and afterward re turned to their duties, handling stock for the packing companies Involved in the strike as well as for the independ ent plants, has been made plain by the official statement that their action was taken In obedience to their union of ficers. It is declared that they stand ready to strike again If it appears necessary. A report that fire insur ance underwriters had Issued an order canceling policies on packing estab lishments on account of the strike and because of the housing of so many men In the buildings has been pos itively denied by the Insurance com panies' representatives. Packing house managers are predict ing that the next few hours will wit ness Important developments in the breaking up of the strike. Strong ef forts, It Is said, have been made by rep resentatives of the packers to Induce desertions from the ranks of the strik ers and the claim Is made that the ef forts are meeting with much success.

HOTEL PORTLAND The Finest Hotel In the Northwest PORTLAND, bflEGON. Entomologists recently have been making a study of certain ants, found In Texas and northern Mexico, which seem to be the most remarkable In sects of their kind In existence. They have communal farms, which they plant with grain every spring, reaping the harvest in the autumn, and storing It away In their subterranean granar ies. Apparently, they depend for their subsistence almost wholly upon this crop. In parts of Sonora the farms of these ants cover tracts that extend over many square miles, and practically the only vegetation Is the seed-bearing grass planted by the insects. Each settlement is plainly indicated to the view by a circular patch of bare ground from 1 to 30 feet In diameter, around which is a broad strip of the growing grain in summer. In the cen ter of the bare patch is a hole leading down to an elaborate system of rooms and galleries beneath the surface, On the bare patch no sprout of any growing thing Is permitted to show Itself the reason, as surmised, being that plant3 in the Immediate neighbor hood of the nest would Interfere with the activities of the Inhabitants and afford shelter to possible enemies, while the roots would be liable to pen- trate the underground galleries. The gateway is opened every morn Ing and closed every evening. If 1 storm threatens It Is shut The communal dwelling below ground Is most complicated and very extensive, being divided up into work ing rooms, living rooms, granaries and nurseries for rearing the larvae. AH of the rooms are connected by galleries and usually they have dome-shaped ceilings, the walls and floors being carefully smoothed and covered with a sort of plaster. As a rule, there Is one large storage room, about two Inches in length, and there are many smaller gralnblns, some of which are sealed when full. In the autumn, when the grain Is ripe, the worker ants go out Into their tilled fields and pick up the seeds which have fallen. These they carry to the "formicary," holding them In their Jaws, and, while the harvest is In prog. ress, each of several straight roads which radiate from the nest is occu pied by a double column of the In sects, one line moving outward into the field, and the other going toward the communal domicile, laden. After the crop has been gathered the stubble Is cleared away by the ants with their Jaws, in preparation for the next spring's planting though how the lat ter process is performed nobody has definitely ascertained. destruction sure. And still in that state, both the commonwealth and the towns and cities are regulurly in the liquor business through what are known as "agencies;" and it would ap pear to be a useless waste of property to thus destroy it. Over In England the Question has latterly arisen. What becomes of the contraband tobacco seised by the cus toms? The early practice woe to bury It This senseless waste was suspend ed for a time by the happy Idea of distributing the tobacco among the troopships. That did not last long, and the next year one heard of the contraband to bacco being smoked in the "Queen's pipe," a huge receptacle that could turn "hundreds of tons into smoke In a few hours," Again the misgiving of the waste troubled the authorities, and they took to regaling the criminal lun atics in certain government asylums. Any tobacco that was left over was ordered for the use of troops sent on foreign service. But that luxury seems to have been cut off once more. although the criminal lunatics still en Joy their pipes and cigars. One attempt was made to throw the contraband, when It was slightly dam aged, on the market, but this caused an outcry from the tobacco trade. The whole story is a pleasing tribute to the Intelligence which administers the pub- He service. MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES THIEVES MAKE BIG HAUL.

WELL, HERE'S A PIPE DREAM. CONTRABAND TOBACCO.

New York, Aug. I. A remarkable article appears In the Novoe Vreyma from the pen of the well known writer, M. Menchlkoff. the substance of which Is that Russia has been utilized by President Roosevelt for the purpose of his Imperialistic ambitions, says the St. Petersburg correspondent of the Herald. - Russia, the article says, has been pictured to the American people as a menace to them, thereby emphasising the necessity of having a belligerent president.

"There are," said Thomas Tnggart, the democratic leader in Indiana, "three rules of deportment which should be the guiding stars of all poli ticians: First, never take a drink, for fear of promoting Intemperance; sec- one, never refuse a drink, for fear of making bad friends; third, never wor ry about what happens unless It hap pens to you."
