A F1ENCH INCIDENT.

Cyclist with a Broken Leg Wins q
A fatal cycling accident happened re-
Gently at Maison Laffitte. Two young
Englishmen, F. Morris, the steeplechase
jockey, and +. Davis, first stableman in
the employ of L: Robert, the trainer,
had arranged bicycle match of six
klometers from the Maison Laffitte rail-
way bridge to the Croix de Noailles and
back. They had almost completed the
race when Morris, who was little
shead, looked back to see how far Davis
was behind, and in, doing so hd lett his
machine run against the curbstone. The
unfortunate rider came to the ground
and broke his leg below the knee. Nor
ris, who was following close behind,
could not avoid his fallen opponent and
was thrown heavily to the ground,
where he remained insensible.
Disregarding both his own broken leg
and his friend lying motionless on the
ground, Morris, in his anxiety to win
the race, mounted his bicycle and soon
reached the winning post, with one foot
on the pedal, the other hanging useless
On the opposite side. Davis was then
carried home, but he died during the

WHERE THE CATTLE WENT.
Views of the vice-Presideat OF the Pacific
Meat Company.

| sic"S OI the VI ehO $1,000
| Meat Company.
| Vice-President.W W. w. Spaulding, OF
the Pacific Meat Company. of Tacoma,
in speaking of the livestock supply OF
| the Pacific Northwest, said recently:
"Tbe wholesale shipment OF cattle
from Oregon and Washington within
the last few months has taken practic-
ally all the feed cattle out of the ter
ritory. The cattle younger than three
years and which it will not pay to feed
because what they eat goes into growth,
are supplying the Northwest markets.
But such stock will not be available
in the winter, and it will be necessary
for local meat companies to then buy
their stock in other states.
st is estimated that S2,000,000 came
into Oregon and Washington since
last fall for cattle. The cattle were
nearly all bought in the fall, but not
shipped until spring. The majority of
the herds went to Kansas and Ne
braska. They were not wanted for i'm
mediate conversion into steaks and
roasts, but for fattening purposes.
The corngrOwers of Nebraska were
confronted by great problem of over
production. They had corn enough to
feed their families and their domestic |
animals for years, corn to yield river |
of fluid that animates, corn to burn, to |
sell and to speculate upon. The corn |
for speculation was the primary cause
of the mischief played with our cattle
supply. The willy spectators slipped
into the Northwest, bought all the 3
year-old cattle in sight and hustled
them to the corn burdened lands Of the
Middle West, there to eat and turn
INTO gold the yellow cereal which
otherwise would not have been worth
song. The time will come ere many
moons when the quarters OF those
attened cattle will lie upon the
butchers blocks of the cities of the
Cast.
"As result of the big shipments to
Nebraska and Kansas, the price of
attle-on foot-advanced L cent q
ound mere and the price of beef went
p2 cents.''

REPRODUCED IN OREGON.
The Red Sea Miracle Often Seen In Link
Rivar

River.
1t is n well-known fact that at GER.
tain times of the year Link river, a
stream a mile and quarter long, which
connects the great water systems above
and below this point, becomes almost
dry, says the Klamath Falls Express.
This state of affairs, however, lasts, as
rule, but a few hours, during which
time people have been known to walk
across the river, 300 feet wide, without
getting their feet wet. The bottom of
the river has been dug out in many
places by the action of the water, FORM
ing large potholes, and when the river
becomes dry these holes are filled with
trout, which are left stranded. At such
times it is a common occurrence to see
men and boys knocking the fish on the
head with clubs, and in this way secure
many a good meal.
There are many traditions regarding
this phenomenon among the indians
here, but the real cause of the low wa
ter in the river is the action of the wind
The course Of the stream is southeast,
and the high winds which prevail in
the spring and fall are from the south,
and blow up the river. The outlet from
the upper Lake being small, the force OF
the wind keeps the water back in the
big lake, causing the river to become
very low.

Undismayed by their experience in
the Suez and Panama enterprises, the
French are undertaking to buill an
other great canal. They have now
determined to connect the Lay of Bis
cay with the Mediterranean by a
canal over 400 miles long, from IA,
to 2l5 feet wide and from 28 to 81
feet deep, and with wilcned passing
places every eight miles. There win
be twenty-five locks. each $50 feet in
length ana so feet in width. The
cost is calculated Mt Slo0 GJ1.090. 1t
is, however. SAFE to say that it will
be much more. 1t is claimed by it's
promoters that besides greatly cypedit-
ing commerce, this waterway will be
of vast political significance. If it
could only be kept open in war, Glib
raltar, the strongest fort in the world,
would be rendered useless, and France,
instead of England, would hold the
'sKey to the Mediterranean

Limitations of Fame.

In Professor Knights "reminiscences
of Tennyson it is related that on one
occasion when the poet laureate was
stopping at an inn in the island of
Skye the landlord was asked if he knew
who had been staying in his house, and
on being informed that it was the poet
Tennyson he replied:
"Lor-to think O. that! And, sure,
THOUGHT he was shentleman.
At Stirling some one asked the land
lord of the house where the poet was
stopping:
"Do you ken who you had WI you
t'other night"
''Naa, but he was pleasant shentle-
man. "
1T was Tennyson, the poet. "
"And wha may be he?"
ooh, he is "a writer O. verses SIGH as
ye see i the papers. "
moo, to think o. that! Jeest pooh

But the charms of Mrs Tennyson,
her gracious manners, did not pass un-
noticed. for the landlord said, "Oh, she
was an angel.
