BLAST IKE UP IMMEHSL KM
One of the biggest blast that have
been exploded In the conduction
work on the St. Paul road in the can
yon was aet ott In the rocky bluff
just above the Prescott ranch, says
the Missoula (Mont.) Mlssouiian. In
this bloat the new Japanese explosive,
llento, waa uaed aa an experiment,
and It la aald that la worked satis
factorily. The explosion waa almost noiseless,
and when the electric contact waa
made that discharged the rock-rend-Insj
substance, there waa an enormous
quantity of the bluff broken off.
Opened a Great Cavern.
But the Interest that waa felt in the
operation of the llento was forgotten
aa soon as the powder gang made Its
Investigation bf the result of the blast.
Hundreds of tons of rock were dis
placed, and, aa the men investigated
the great fissure that was formed,
they shouted In amaaement, for the
blast had opened a cavern that loom
ed dark in the rock wall before them.
It was so dark that they could not
well see the extent of the hole, but
they sent to their camp for lanterns
and proceeded with their exploration
The opening to the cavern was not
large, but a man could enter easily
enough. Three men went In with lan
terns and they found themselves
standing In a chamber whose roof
sparkled in the light of their lanterns
aa If it were studded with jewels.
From the celling were suspended
huge stalactites without number; all
were encrusted with crystals that gave
back and multiplied the rays of the
lanterns to an extent that was bewild
ering. It presented the phenomenon
that is familiar to all who have been
In large caves.
Subterranean Stream.
There was a small stream found,
which seemed to have a subterranean
outlet Into the river. In places this
stream widened Into pools and In
these were found some fish, not unlike
trout, except that they were blind.
A couple of them were captured and
were taken in a can to the Shapard
hotel, where they were placed on ex
hibition in a glass jar.
But it was not in the living animals
found that the greatest Interest cen
tered. Further exploration of the cav
ern led to the discovery of a second
chamber, a little west of south of the
first one and connected with it. In
this cavern were found the fossil re
mains of two gigantic creatures. These
are evidently, according to the engln
eers who saw them, the remains of
creatures of the saurian type
All Denied Approach.
On account of the lateness of the
hour and of the fact that there might
be danger in the loosened rock about
the entrance, the contractors com
manded their men to keep the matter
a secret; but through the queer fish
that were brought over, the secret be
came generally known during the
night.
Those who went across the river to
see the remarkable result of the blast
were, however, denied approach to the
place. A guard had been placed over
it and no one will be allowed to enter
the cavern until it is known to be
safe.
The discovery is a great thing for
Missoula If the cave Is anything like
what it Is represented to be. Scientific
Investigation will be awaited with
great interest. Professor Elrod said
he had not been Informed as to the
extent or the details of the discovery,
but that he hoped to be able to see It
for himself.
Promise has been made that a few
persons at a time will be admitted
In the meantime the blind fish at the
Shapard hotel are the center of oh
Nervation; they are the queerest
things ever seen ere.
- SAFiKM LICENSES ARE toOO.
Liquor Llccraiea In Capital City Are
Reduced.
The Salem city council this evening
sustained Mayor Rodger's veto of the
ordinance reducing the llkuor license
from $1000 to $700 and passed an or
ordlnance reducing the liquor license
talnlng numerous regulations and re
ducing the liquor license to $800, says
a Salem dispatch.. In his veto mes
sage Mayor Rodgers insisted that
regulation rather than revenue ahould
be the purpose of liquor ordinances.
The ordinance was passed by a vote
of 13 to 1, Alderman Presnall. who Is
opposed to license under any condi
tions, voting "No."
The only question raised when the
ordinance was placed on final pas
safe was concerning a section which
makes a minor liable o the full pen
alties of the ordinance if he frequents
a place where liquors are sold. Al
derman Moores called attention to me
taft that this would Drotcct the 11-
quorseller and that Mayor Lane of
Portland, veteed an ordinance nav
ina a similar effect. He wanted this
feature Incorporated In a separate or
dinance but voted ror tne Din..
This ordinance, which has attract
ed wide attention In the city, pro
vides for a limitation of the number
of saloons to one for every 1000 In
habitants. It requires that there
must be an open glass front 10 feet
wide and having the lower edge of
the glass not more than five feet
from the sidewalk.
Boxes with open doors connecting
with a hallway are allowed in res
taurants, but all boxes, private rooms
and annxes are prohibited In saloons.
It Is made unlawful to permit lewd
women In a saloon. Sales of liquor
on Sunday, o minors or to Intoxicat
ed persons may be punished by for
feiture of the license. The schedule
of liquor license fees Is as follows:
Saloons. $(00; beer halls, $400;
clubs. $300; resaurants, $300; drug
stores, .$$00; wholesalers, $100.
The penaly for violation of the or
dinance Is a fine of $10 o $100 or im
prisonment 6 to 20 days. Supporters
of the anti-saloon movement severely
criticised that section making minors
liable to fine or Improvement aa they
say it will be Impossible to convict a
saloonkeeper for selling to a minor.
HURRYING BASEBALL PARK.
EntiniHtaatlo fans of La Grande Anx
ious to Play Ball.
About half the posts to which will
be affixed the fence about the La
Qrande athletic park, have been set
and before tomorrow night will all be
in place, says the La Qrande Obserc
er.
While the crew Is setting the posts
others are at work bringing the lum
ber to the scene, that everything can
be In readiness for the raising bee
next Sunday. A grader and roller
will be put to work tomorrow, and If
theturn-out of loyal fans Is big
enough on Sunday, the fence and a
large part of the grandstand will be
complete by Sunday night.
The reason for the haste In the
matter Is that it Is already time to
commence training and one week
from Sunday is the first game In this
city. This contest is to be of a try
out nature. Union will likely be
brought over and Is to be strengthened
by loans from the local squad of
candidates.
