Good Results.

Sslem's road convention has been
productive Of much good. The politi-
clans have discovered the pointer, and
are all out on the roads. Mr.. T. t.
Geer's straw work is getting its service
catching the wash. Capt. Ormsby Is
working on a scheme to plank the road
from the east side junction to Silver
Falls, an invention that was tried by
Portland Multnomah county aud ex-
ploded forty years ago. Even j. A.
Hunt has caught the road fever, and is
out macadamizing his hill.
If we had few more working politi-
tians, we would not need to issue coun-
ty bonds to build roads. Another road
convention or two and like the magic
swamp, the roads are fixed.

stone expert picked out the best "punch-
er'' in the office. while the Morse man Sc
cured a rafting good man for the other
end Of the wire TO take the stuff from
him. The five minutes were quickly up,
and in the presence of about two dozen
excited onlOokers the contest started.
The lady puncher was very nervous, and
her apparatus refused TO work satisfac-
torilv, but she had companion introuole
for the old operator was equally tlmld,
and several times made bad breaks.
Then both parties struck their gait, and
how their hands did work. The lady
was able to knock off about siXty-hve
words minute, while the Morse operator
was doing an average Of forty, without
authorizations.
oThe little lady finished up the message
with a tremendous squirt of speed while
her opponent had about 700 words yet on
hand. The WheatstOne expert was JUDI
liant and springing to the machine, pre-
pared TO send it buzZing over the wire.
But for some reason the wire wouldn't
work. In nervous haste the wire chief
placed another wire at his disposal-tt
was no good. Then another and another
wire was tried, but all refused to do their
work, and several of the circuits were
thrown into confusion in the endeayOr to
get a clear wire All this time the Morse
man was humping himself and sending as
he never sent before. The little lady that
did the punching was picture Of dis
may, as she saw all her good work go for
naught and the words roll off TO New
York under the quivering hand of the
correspondent
FINALLY, with swoop of dots and
dashes, the correspondent rounded up his
work, the receiving operator gave %. Ks
and he arose from his chair with a look
of anxiety on his face-he having been
too busy to notice the confusion around
the switch board. The Wheatstone mes
sage was still in the local Office, and of
course, he had to smile. Then the wires,
all of a sudden, came all right, and the
machine message went spinning toward
New York, but arrived there half an
hour behind the Morse message, and the
correspondent won his money. Several
of the working force up in the office
carried queer look on their faces for
several weeks thereafter, and l finally
cornered one and made him tell me the
cause.
That entire force was working with
the CORRESPONDENT, and through their en-
deavors killed the wires until he had
sent his stuff. Then the wires came all
right, and after IL o'clock, when the gang
knocked off work, the $40 was spent at a
neighboring saloOn.o

Eleven Zig Connecticut Serpents Slain

From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
Saybrook, Conn, April 1.-THE biggest
snake story this spring was brought in
to-day by Uriah Belden, who lives over
in Devils Hop Yard, near East Lyme.
He says that few days ago, while on a
hunting tour in a patch of woods near
Comstock's bridge, north of here, he came
upon a wheelbarrow load of large black
snakes tied up in hard knots and stone
dead. In the brush about the place he
discovered twenty-five or thirty smaller
black snakes, none of which was over
eighteen inches long, many of which he
killed.
A couple of telegraph wires ran through
the woods overhead, and Belden, who was
much mystiied by the tragedy of the
snakes, soon after met lineman who
gave him an interesting theory as to the
probable solution of the deaths of the
older serpents.
There had been heavy blast set off in
a quarry near by few days before, the
lineman said, which broke down the tele-
graph wires and started colony of black
snakes from their winter slumber in a
neigh boring ledge.
One of the wires, it appears, was
"crossed" in distant city by a deadly
trolley wire, and hence the broken wires
as they lay in a cart path near the snake S
den, the ends not more than two feet
apart, constituted death trap.
Any moist, living object touching the
end of both wires at the same time would
"short circuit" them, carrying the electric
current from the crossed" wire to the
other, and incidentally sustaining shock
fatal to life.
The linemen calculated that the snakes
started up the cart path toward a brook
after being disturbed by the blast and, as
they came to the wires trailing on the
ground, one after another crossed over
and short circuited' them, sustaining
an instantaneous shock which caused
death at once.
Had it been possible for a snakes body
to have still connected the wires after
death, the lives of many of the snakes
might have been spared, but Immediately
upon being shocked the snake curled up
in hard knot, thus opening the circuit
and setting the trap again.
The reason why the smaller snakes
were not killed by the current was be-
cause their bodies were not quite long
enough to reach from one wire to tine
other and complete the deadly short cir
cuit.n
Mr.. Belden says he regards the line
mans idea as the correct one. He counted
eleven of the snakes which were killed by
the lightning. They were from three TO
eight feet long.
