Chicago Loses Her Entire Supply of
Young Poultry.
Chicago Commission merchants and
housewives have wondered why no
spring chickens were coming on the
market and the reason has been ascer
tained. When the Dunont Dowder
mills at Pleasant Prairie, Wis., blew
up last December, the explosion
wrecKea ounaings ior Zb miles in
every direction and was felt as far
east as Cleveland, O., and as far south
as St. Louis.
At that time much attention was
given the destruction of property, but
no thought was given the hundreds of
thousands of hens for a radius of 50
miles in every direction, who left
their nests in terror and wandered
about in distress for hours.
The hens finally went back to their
task of hatching out broilers and
"spring frys" for the Chicago market,
but the vibration had destroyed the
vitality of the eggs. The few chicks
that were hatched were deformed
feathers turned the wrong way, wings
and legs out of joint and altogether a
grotesque and bizarre assortment of
freaks.
Not only were the eggs in process
of being hatched destroyed, but other
eggs, later placed under the hens for
the second and third consignments for
the market, turned out just as badly,
for this reason no genuine spring
chickens are coming on the Chicago
market except from the West and
South.
The market here depends largely
upon Wisconsin and Northern Illinois
for its "springers," but they do not
exist this year.
In setting up the damage claims,
the adjusters took stock of wrecked
buildings, broken windows, twisted
trees and all that, but had no know
ledge, at that time, of the damage to
the commission houses and palates of
Chicago.
Two months ago chicken farmers all
through the district reported that the
few chickens being hatched were de
formed, but the matter was treated as
a joke at that time. After a thorough
investigation by agents sent out by
the commission houses, it was admit
ted that there was no joke about it.

Surf, Cal. The second officer and
three seamen of the Santa Rosa, of
the Pacific Coast Steamship Company,
which went ashore at Point Arguelia
early Friday, were drowned when it
lifeboat capsized while the passen
gers of the wrecked vessel were be

Mr. Murray was head of the Colo

1893 and 1894, during the term of
Governor Waite. During his term the

The vessel cracked amidships at
5:30 P. M., with all the passengers on
board. It split in two, half an hour
later, with the 285 souls on board
huddled in the forward section.
At 10:30 P. M., the last of the crew
were taken from the vessel in the
breeches-buoy, leaving only Captain
K. O. Faria and 10 volunteers on the
wrecked vessel. The vessel, its cargo

As the shades of evening fell, the
tedious work of rescue, rife with
heart-rending incidents commenced.
The last shadow of the setting sun sift

chasm of the burst vessel silhouetted
the scores of passengers against the
darkening sunset. A heavy wail arose
from the brave crowd waiting on the
beach to start the work of saving
lives.
It was 5:45 P. M., that the first

resolutions, drawn by him, which he

EXPERTS TO EXAMINE MAINE.
Exact Cause of Explosion Sought By
Navy Department.
Washington, July 6. A board of
naval experts is being selected by
the Navy Department to etudy the
hull of the battleship Maine, in Ha
vana harbor, as the water is pumped
from the cofferdam now surrounding
the wreck.
The Navy Department' officers are
confident that the examination will
prove the correctness of the findings
of the Sampson board, which decided
that the explosion which sank the
Maine was caused by a torpedo or
mine and that the explosion of chip's
magazines followed.
In view of the renewed interest at
taching to the actual cause of the

NORTHERN TO BE BUILT.
Merrill People Expect Harriman Road

Merrill. Construction on the Modoc
Northern Railroad will likely begin
on the line from Alturas to Klania;h
Falls in about six weeks.
The Southern Pacific Railroad com
pany, wliicli is to build tne .Modoc
Northern Line, selected on July 1
the extensions to be constructed dur
ing the next twelve months, and it is
confidently expected the Modoc North
rn will be on the list for immediate
construction, not solely on account
of the bonus Merrill has put up to
have work begun before September
14, but because the country is de-
eloping so rapidly in the Northwest
that the Harriman system needs thl
short-cut line to handle its business
at less expense.
Japanese Busy Clearing Land.
Dee. M. Moyoka, a Japanese orch
ardist, has purchased 13 acres ad
oining his home place, which he will
begin clearing at once. He has 40
acres in trees and plants. Five acret
of trees will be in bearing next year
Thus far this year he has marketed
150 crates of strawberries. He ha?
35,000 strawberry plants and will plan
as many more this fall.
The big flume now being built by
the Oregon Lumber Company passes
rough the Moyoka tract, and wil
supply an abundance of water.
The Japanese method of clearing
land of fir stumps has proved eco
nomical and effective. It is to dig
away the dirt from the stump, ex
posing the roots, and then pile log3
and brush on the stump. If logs
are lacking, sufficient powder Is used
to crack the stump, making it more
easy to burn. No grubbing machine
is used and the saving on powder U
considerable. A Japanese who un
derstands clearing land commands as
high a wage as does a white man.

Postmen Get Salary Lift.
Washington The 40,000 odd rural
free delivery carriers in the United
States are to receive salary increases
as a result of a decision by Postmaster-General
Hitchcock. The order
has provided for the disbursement
during the current fiscal year of $4,
000,000, which will mean an increase
of $100 a year over the present salary
of $900 for all carriers on standard
routes. The svstem was started 15
years ago with 83 carriers, who re
ceived $200 a year. On July I, there
were 41,562 carriers.
Motorcyclist Hits Car.
Spokane, Wash. Apparently un
able to gain control of his motorcycle
when a trolley car blocked the thor
oughfare before him, Henry Simpson,
aged 19 years, made a heroic effort to
save his little friend, Robert Johnson,
aged 9 years, who was a passenger,
but the machine struck the car with
terrific force and while the two boys
escaped instant death, they were un
conscious at a late hour and are be
lieved to be fatally injured.

Brown carried a line to shore and
when he had effected a landing, after
the desperate battle with the waves,
a net was rigged on the shore lin
and the passengers, women and chil
dren first, were taken from the floun
dering ship, three and four at a time.
The throbbing spectacle seemed to
last for hours. Every five minutes the
net on the shore line at which fren
zied men and women tugged, landed
women and children in groups of
three on the sand.
Just before the vessel burst, a life
boat containing the second officer
and Seamen Fred Johnson, E. W.
Jebsen, John Pfiffer and Oscar Peter
son, dashed to bits against the sides
of the vessel. Oscar Peterson was
washed ashore helpless and the other
four lost their lives.

This trail will open to mining men
