of labor saving methods in the Ameri.
can shipyards. II would, of course. be
easy to make too much of this, for the
trained man will always be needed, and
the more highly specialized tools be-
come, the higher must be the training
and capacity of those who direct their
use, not necessarily those who directly
use them. 1t would be we'll If British
shipbuiders could take the initiative
by raising the wages OF their best men
before the latter go out of the country
and compensate themselves by reduc-
ing the demand for labor though i'm.

go into Glasgow or Newlastle any day
and engage staff of younger men
thoroughly acquainted with detail,
though they may not have attained to
the highest positions-at cost which
would be insignificant compared to the
magnitued of the work involved.

Bobby Gaylor will present for the
first time in this city at the Vogt or
Saturday evening his new farce come
dy, McSorely's Twins. Too much
praise cannot be given Mr.. Gaylor to
his adherence to the idea of giving d
strictly first-class artistic performance.
The interest of the public is stimulat
ed by such efforts such as his, and if
vaudeville continues in popular favor
it will be because he and few others
who have the brain and talents, en-
deaYor to constantly raise the stand
ard of this class of entertainment.
Novelty of any kind is always &C.
ceptable in vaudeville, which is grow
ing more cut and dried every day, and
when the novelty is of dainty and
pleasing nature as this comedy is, it is
doubly pleasing. The play of Mcs;or-
ley's Twins is not one man part but
requires the services of large and
competent company to Interpret it and
the many characters. AS Bobby is
"home again" in this section of the
country he will undoubtedly be greeted
with large audience at the Vogt.

THE DALLEs TEAM WON.
They Had Majority of ss Pins Over tn
Salem Visitors.

The bowling contest last Saturday
evening between the D. G. & A. G.
team and the Illihees from Salem was
one of the most interesting tourna-
ments ever rolled anywhere, and in
point of scores was up to the average
at least. The visitors were hardly at
their best, having travelled all day, and
having been delayed for several hours
at Hood River OF account Of rail-
road wreck, their nerves were little
shattered, and of course could not have
been expected to roll as well as they
would at home. Nevertheless, they
are all first-class bowlers, and did some
fine execution on the Club alleys here.
The game was to have begun at 8
o'clock, but owing to the late arrival
of the Illihees it did not begin until
after 9, but the club rooms even at
that late hour was we'll filled with
spectators, vino heartily enjoyed the
game. The Dalles team won the first
game, and the visitors the second,
then the home bowlers increased their
scores beyond the danger line and
winning the two remaining games.
Mayor Nolan made !. wonderful score
of 226 pins which ties the Pacific coast
tournament record for four games.
The individual scores made by the
teams were as follows:

Dust in the Air.

The attention OF people here has
been called to the peculiar appearance
OF the heavens the past few days, the
air being filled with a yellowish sub.
stance that leaves hazy appearance
as if it were smokey, but of the wrong
color for smoke. A close inspection
of the phenomenon proves it to be a
fine yellow dust that is so light that a
considerable portion of it remains sus-
pended in the air. 1t will collect on a
freshly painted board, and give it a
yellowish tinge, or cish set outside
for few hours will be coated with
small particles of the dust.
Where the dust came from is d
mystery. as it Is entirely different from
the dust that is raised by wind
storm here, and has somewhat the ap
pearance of volcanic ashes. Evidently
il was blown in by an east wind, pro-
badly having been carried long
distance high in the air, and by some
change of currents of wind was thrown
to the ground.

Flax For Fiber.

Success with the manufacture OF
grain sacks from fax tow at the Wash.
ington penitentiary has given rise to
revival of interest in the question OF
utilizing fax for fiber in the northwest.
The experiment conducted at the
state manufactory produced sacks
which in strength and durability are
pronounced, under practical test, su-
perior to those made from the import.
ed jute article, and the possible SUBJ
stitution is being discussed. Nearly
half million dollars is annually spent
for jute sacks which might be used for
giving the fax fiber industry decided
lift were the entire sack consumption
of the northwest to be supplied from
the home product. The penitentiary
spends perhaps $4,000 year for jute
alone which might be diverted to he
f1axen substitute with the expenditure
of few Thousand dollars for machin-
cry to convert the fiber into tow

glowing compliment the young men
deeply appreciate.
S. L. Brooks. who is the best posted
on the weather of any person in this
section, and who has made close study
of the rise and fall of the river for
many years, is of the opinion that
there will be no extreme high water
this season. His theory is that the
snow in the mountains has become so
solid that it will not thaw rapidly W hen
the warm weather begins.
Some people find snakes by staying
around town too closely and frequent
places where liquid refreshments are
dispensed, but Dayton Taylor, one OF
The Dalles boys who is working with
surveying party between Lyle and
Goldeudale, has been finding them in
the country. Dayton has perfect
horror of snakes; even little water
sGake is terror to him, and rather
takes his breath away. His compan-
ions in the surveying party knowing g
his fear of reptiles, thought to give
him fright the other evening, and
they did. A fine set of rattles had
been secured and fastened to a black
snake whip that was carefully coiled
in his bed. When Dayton crawled in
to the blankets and discovered the

out OF there and didn't stand on the
order of his going, but lit out rur ming
and hallooing snake at the top vi
his voice. He would probably be rum
ming yet had not his companions
caught him and explained the joke.
