Remembrances of the Pigtail.
Waist long pigtails were the fash

and before that the bag wig had been
adorned with a pigtail looped up in a
black silk bag. As late as 1858 an
old gentleman was seen In Loudon
with his gray hair tied behind in a
short cue, and even today one can
find a relic of the pigtail, for the three
pieces of black velvet on the dress

The effect of lightning on concrete,
which has long been a matter of dis

member of the American Society of

which caused no injury, but changed
the texture of the concrete in places
from granular to vitreous. The tank

Canadian Cities Wrecked; Prop

City o f Regina Is Mast o f Debris-
Boats Carried Half Mils —
Wounded in Ruins.
Winnipeg, Man.— Dead and injured
to a number estimated between 400
and 600 persons and a property loss of
$10,000,000 is the toll taken by a
wind storm that converted into a mass
o f debris the greater part o f Regina,
Sask., and then swept on through the
province, leaving destruction in its
pathway.
Telegraph and telephone wires are
down and it is almost impossible to
get news from the other towns in the
province, but so far as learned here no
loss o f life occurred outside o f Regina.
Great destruction o f buildings has
been reported from Qu’Allelle and
also from Melville.
The magnitude o f the calamity
which Regina has suffered could not
be estimated at a late hour. It seemed
certain, however, that the casualties
would roll up to a total o f between 400
and 600.
Crowds o f volunteers all over the
city were assisting in the work o f
searching the wreckage, and for hours
hardly a minute went by that a human
body or the mangled form o f some
living victim was not uncovered.
The sweep o f the storm, the worst
in the history o f the Canadian North
west, was over a city which only a
short time before had completed the
work o f decking itself in gala attire
for the celebration o f Dominion Day.
Bunting and flags covered buildings
everywhere and networks o f electric
lights were strung and ready for il
lumination.
Through these
gaily
decorated
streets the tornado swept and within a
half hour Regina had been turned into
a city o f mourning.
In the wreck of
the storm building after building lay in
ruins, shrouded in its gay-colored
bunting. The storm cut a swath sev
eral blocks wide right into the center
o f the town, leveling the buildings in
its wake.
In a twinkling three o f the hand
somest churches in (Regina w e ft laid
in ruins. They were the Methodist,
Baptist and Knox churches, and the
first o f the city’s largest buildings to
be blown down.
Then the roof was swept from the
Y. M. C. A. building and the walls o f
the structure were shattered.
The
new public library was badly wrecked
and the Presbyterian church laid in
ruins.
In rapid succession the Masonic
Temple and telephone exchange were
leveled. Although many o f the tele
phone girls were injured, none were
killed.
One o f the most serious losses to
the city was that o f the warehouses
and the row o f grain elevators in the
Canadian Pacific yards.
Upon these
the farmers o f the district were de
pending for the storage o f their crops
this season.
Only one grain elevator
remains and that is much damaged.

HOLIDAY.
Thursday, July II, Given to Elks Par
ade in Portland
Thursday, July 11 — the dsy o f the
big Elks’ National parade in Portland
— will be a public holiday throughout
the Northwest i f the action already
taken by numerous small towns and
cities is followed by many others.
Stores, offices and public buildings
will be closed, business will be sus
pended, activity w ill cease for the
while and the people generally will
take advantage o f the low rail and
steamship rates to go to the conven
tion city.
With favorable weather,
that day w ill probably see 200,000
strangers in Portland, more than four
times as many as ever were here on a
single day.
The city o f Astoria has taken the
lead in declaring a public holiday for
the Elks’ parade. Even the postoffice
will close. The following advice re
cently received by Postmaster Carney,
o f Astoria, gives him permission:
" I n reply to your letter you are in
formed that you may observe holiday
hours and give the usual holiday ser
vice an July 11, as you request, a holi
day having been proclaimed by the
mayor o f your city, on account o f the
assembling o f the grand lodge o f Elks
at Portland, O r.”
The letter is signed by C. P. Grand-
field, first assistant postmaster gen
eral at Washington, D. C. All the
banks, stores and mills at Astoria will
close and virtually the entire active
population o f the city will move to
Portland.
Similar action will be taken at Ore
gon City, Salem and other points in
Oregon.
Vancouver
and several
neighboring towns in Washington will
do likewise. Many special trains will
come from the neighboring towns for
the great parade.
Advices received by the O.-W. R. &
N. company show that two specials
will come from the Grays Harbor
country instead one.
Aberdeen and
Hoquiam each will have enough Elks
to fill a train. Their early plans con
templated coming together.
Every day now brings new orders
for rooms at the convention headquar
ters, but as fast as they are received
reservations are made. J. H. Deitz,
chairman o f the hotel committee, said
that he believes all necessary space has
been offered. He made contracts for
rooms close to the heart o f the city
that will accommodate more than 1000
additional people.
O FFIC IA LS FEAR LAW
Must Stop Government Work Unless
Funds Are Provided,
Washington, D. C.— President T a ft
will send a message to congress point
ing out the
anomalous situation
whereby the machinery o f the Federal
government must continue in opera
tion in direct violation o f law, making
officials liable to fine and imprison
ment unless steps are immediately
taken to provide funds for the next
fiscal year, beginning July l.
The president will appeal for the
passage o f a resolution extending the
necessary appropriations of the cur
rent fiscal year for a temporary period
to tide over the emergency hy the
failure o f the regular and deficiency
appropriation bills to be enacted into
law. It is expected that such a reso
lution w ill be introduced and passed
by both houses.
It is unlawful for any official to
create a deficiency or accept the ser
vices o f anyone grautitousiy.
Unless
congress acts it is pointed out in ad
ministration circles, one o f these laws
must be violated to some extent, be
cause government
business cannot
come to a standstill.
The Navy department is going slow
in risking a violation o f law, and if
appropriations are not made, the civil
employes o f the navy yards and many
in the departmenta here will be fur
loughed.

Fairbanks Partly Flooded.
Fairbanks, Alaska — Continuous

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis—Dr. James Withycombe, direc
tor o f the agricultural experiment
station at Oregon Agricultural college
and five sub-stations at Moro, Her-
miston. Union, Burns and Talent, in
bis address before the ranchers who
attended the Farmers’ Roundup at
Moro, emphasized the value o f demon
stration farm work as a means o f in
troducing scientific methods o f farm
ing.
Dr. Withycombe stated that in his
opinion, the maintenance o f demon
stration farms in each county in the
state under competent supervision,
would result, within the next five
years, in increasing the agricultural
products o f the state $10,000,000 an
nually. This could be accomplished,
he said, without adding a square rod
o f ground to the present farm acreage.
Dr. Withycombe said in part:
"Denmark has made phenomenal
agricultural progress under this sys
tem o f instruction.
With an area
equalling one-sixth that o f our own
state, Denmark supports 2,690,000
people and annually exports more than
$100,000,000 worth o f butter, eggs
and bacon. This result is accomplished
under adverse agricultural conditions,
much o f the country being so bleak as
to necessitate the blanketing o f the
cows to keep them comfortable while
at pasture during the summer sea

"The boy Is all right,” said the doe

rouse his ambition. Promise him that
you will take him somewhere when
he recovers sufficiently to go out—to
a vaudeville show, for Instance; talk
to him about playing with the boys;
there are lots of ways In which you
can interest him."
Then the doctor addressed the boy,
who was Just recovering from a fever,
saying:
“ Come, Tommy, cheer up, my bov;
wouldn't you like to go and play with
your schoolmates?"
A faint smile stole over the boy’s
face, but that was all.
"Stop, sir," said the father; ’T il

asked, addressing the boy, "wouldn't
you like to go out and throw a stone

Marshfield— Extensive culture o f Lo
ganberries to be used for making un
fermented fruit juice is an industry
for Cooa county which is proposed by
the state fruit experts, who have been
making a tour o f education through
the district. They advocate the Grav-
enstein apple as the most profitable to
be grown in this locality commer
cially, and Urge the farmers to take
up the culture o f Loganberries, which
grow in abundance here and seem to
be suited to most any o f the land in
the county. Heretofore, the Logan
berry industry has not been carried on
extensively for the reason that the
local market was limited.
A. H. Carson, o f Grants Pass, who
is one o f the party o f experts, sug
gests that the people form a company
and install a plant for extracting un
fermented fruit juice, and that a suffi
cient acreage o f Loganberries be
planted to maintain the plant. He
says a big industry can be created.

There are some drawbacks to tin
teaching of language by sound, espe
cially where the younger school ele
ment Is being instructed by that sys
tem. In one of the first grade classes
of the Greenwood school lately the
teacher was endeavoring to drill the
Banr of Mercy slogan Into the young
brains. One clause of the "resolve"
Is an Injunction to bo “ kind to all
harmless living creatures." Somehow
the pronunciation of thre phrase did
not quite suit nnd the teacher asked
for a repetition, and still there was
something queer about the way It
was repeated. Finally she requested
one member of the cluss to say It (o
himself, and while she could not yet
quite see what wns the matter it did
not sound right.
"Now, Tommy, say It over again
slowly, ‘I resolve to be kind to all
harmless living creatures,’ " said tha
teacher, bound to get the straight of
the matter.
Tommy repeated slowly, and, while
there seemed to be nothing exactly
wrong with the rest of the sentence,
the final word sounded off color.
"Is that 'crentures' you are saying
there, Tommy?” naked the puzzled
teacher. "Say It nil ugaln."
With the sweetest resignation In
the world the boy repeated, "I re
solve to be kind to all harmless liv
ing preachers."— Kansas City Journal.
Startling a Purist.
A Philadelphia physician tells of a
woman of his acquaintance who enter
tains more varied Ideas touching scien
tific hygiene than a whole colony of
doctors. She can discourse learnedly
concerning the risks that we humans
dally run with utensils that have not
been properly sterilized; Indeed, there
le little on the subject of microbes and
bacteria that Bhe is not "up on." One
day a friend was engaged In con
versation with this woman when
the llttlo girl of the household ap
peared.
"Mother,” said she, “ I would like
to go over to Mary Allen'i a min
ute.”
"And why?" asked the mother.
"Oh,” explained the scientifically
reared child to the horror of her care
ful mother, “ I lent her my gum yester
day, and now I want It myself.”
Ask your doctor how often
he prescribes an alcoholic
stimulant for children. He
will probably say, “ Very,
very rarely.” Ask him how
often he prescribes a tonic for
them. He will probably an
swer, “ Very.veryfrequently.”
Then ask him about Ayer's
Sarsaparilla as a strong and
safe tonic for the young. Not
a drop of alcohol in it.
,
Always keep ■ box of Ayer’s Pills in the
house. Just one pill it bedtimt, now and
then, will ward off many an attack of
biliousness, indigestion, sick-headache.
How many years hat your doctor known
these pills? Ask him all shout them.
