rested in this county for telling a few
trees which belonged in part to them

here is a corporation, denuding a large
area of public domain, and not only
denuding it of forest growth but of
private property and first settlers as
well, and that corporation avowedly a
foreign concern. 1t is allowed to infect
the general air. denude the land, pol

-
and the various complaints are formid-
able and doubtless fully warranted and
justifable.
Beyond the primary and most evi-
dent complaint, damage to and de-
struction Of property both public and
private, there is an increasing determi-
nation among the residents of the part
of Shasta County most affected to re-
sent being smoked out of their homes.
They claim, and it should seem. reas-
onably enough, that while damage to
their property should and may be COM
pensated for, there is no medium of
arbitrarily compensating them for their
homes which they are not disposed to
relinquish.
The fumes and smoke from the smell
tefs to many persons are nauseating
and injurious to their health, making
their homes almost uninhabitable. To
delicate constitutions, invalids and in
fants the hitherto wholesome and in
vigorating mountain air of the region
is now poisoned with noxious gases,
but it must be either avoided or suf-
fered by them as their circumstances
admit of or compel them. Besides these
complaints there are others, such as
the destruction of the growing timber
upon private mining claims and the
great danger of forest fires in the
blasted timber and underground.
1t would seem that there should be
some method of condensing or consum-
ing the fumes from the smelters and
roasters at Keswick. Whether or not
there is any such process. the thing is
rnt ,-l-c n
by many persons as a public nuisance,
whatever they may be as corporate
enterprise.

PRESIDENT FAuRE.

Gallet SAID he had no occupation, but
resided at LeVallois- Perret. The police
are making a thorough search of his
lodgings. lie is believed to be insane,
for he shouted as the carriage passed
along 50 loudly as to attract general at
tention in the crowd. The police have
also made another arrest, in this case
a youth, but it is thought probable that
the actual culprit escaped.
The news of the attempt spread like
Wildtire through the city, and when NJ.
Faure returned to the EIysee the streets
along the route where it was known he
would drive were crowded with people,
who cheered him vociferOusly.
1t was at first reported that the would
be assassin was a young man about 25,
who stood In the crowd 100 yards or more
from the race course and discharged
pistol at NJ. Faure as he drove up to the
entrance, and there was a subsequent
report that both pistol and bomb were
used. But the police now believe that
the supposed pistol shot was merely the
noise of the bomb.
The bomb was a clumsily made af-
fair, to which a piece of fuse was at
tached, and the fuse was probably
lighted by a taper fixed in the end of a
stick as soon as the head of the process
sion came into view. The presumption
is that the moment the fuse was'lighted
the culprit fled, and in any case the bomb
could not have done much harm.
In the thicket where the police found
the remnants of the bomb they found
also a pistol upon which were engraved
the words, Mort a Felix Faure," and
the names Alsace-L Lorraine and Cologne.
Near the pistol was a small dagger bear
ing a similar threatening inscription,
and few feet away the police found a
newspaper with a cartoon grossly in
sulting to the president. This contained
an offensive inscription limiting at the
execution of NJ. Faure.

THE TUBERCULIN TEST.


Chief of Animal Bureau Says No Evil
Effects Follow Its Use.
Portland, Me-, June 1.-THE Portland
board of health has received this com
munication from D. E. Salmon, chief of
the bureau of animal industry of the
United States department of agriculture,
on the tuberculin test:
In reply to your letter Of the 1st inst,
addressed to the secretary of agriculture,
l would say that the experiments made
by DR.. De Schweinitz, of this bureau,
as well as by others in this country and
abroad, shows that COWS are not in
jured in the slightest degree by the in
lection of tuberculin, so long as the
material has been carefully and properly
made. Experiments with reference to
the quantity of milk given by animals
before and after the injection show that
the variation in amount is practically
not worthy of consideration, unless the
animal gives a reaction for tuberculosis.
So far as the effect of tuberculin on
healthy animals is concerned there is
not the slightest ground for fearing any
bad results, if the tuberculin used is
reliable.

Maine Crop Prospects.

Pennington, Me, June 1.-THE con-
slant rains of the last seven weeks in
this section of the state are seriously
interfering with planting, especially of
sweet corn, vast quantities of which
are raised in this section. The many
canning factories depend entirely on the
corn crop, and its heavy failure would
mean heavy financial loss. both to the
farmers and the people who seek en-
ployment putting up the succulent
grain. The potato crop as well, another
important agricultural item in central
and northern Maine, is equally dubious.
On the other hand the hay crop will be
the heaviest for many years, while the
apple crop, although not as large as last
year, will be better than the average.
