at that, until some serious accident
will be chronicled. In West Albany
the boys have rope stretched from
the steel bridge to the Curran pasture
on which the lads slide from the
bridge to the ground, a distance of
nearly 100 feet. A few days ago Geo.
Maston foil about 20 feet while max

GUN WAS WRONG END TO
Peculiar Situation OF Hunter.
Confronted by Bear.

h. W. Riggs enjoyed some big game
hunting la the Wolf Creek district
last week with small hunting party.
Among the trophies of tho chase Sc
cured were three good sized bear.
Quite nerve testing adventure was
experienced by Mr.. Rigs. While hunt
ing one day, creeping through very
dense thicket of underground, he was
suddenly confronted by large bear
IN uncomfortably close proximity.
Endeavoring to get his rifle into
action, that weapon was so entangled
and hampered on every side and above
and below by the thick brush that he
was unable TO get it turned in the
bears direction. The hunter sue
ceeded in climbing into good sized
tree which was conveniently located
and got shot at the beast, wounding
ir severely but not enough to prevent
its escape.

FElLFR0M THE PLANKWAY
Geo. McKimmens Severely In
iured at Thornton Buildins.

Geo. McKimmens was the victim
of quite serious accident on Friday
while at work on the Thornton brick
building now in construction ON
Sixth street. He was taking a wheel
barrow load Of mortar to. the brick
layers on the south wall of the build
ing which was almost completed as
high as the second floor. At the very
top of the long plank way, as he was
about to step upon the platform, he
lost his balance and fell with the
whoclbarrow and load of mortar to
the floor joists underneath. He was
terribly bruised about the head and
shoulders and 1t was thought at first
that his leg was broken at the thigh.
An examination proved that tho bone
was not fractured though the misfor-
tune was only narrowly escaped, and
the limb was very badly bruised.

SHOWER OF STONES FELL
But They We're Hailstone es
Fierce Storm in Chicago

A shower of stones fell from the sky
at exactly noon in Chicago one day
last week, and windows were broken,
horses were pelted until they ran
away and pedestrians were injured
when caught in places whore shelter
could not be reached The stones were
hail and frozen rain and varied from
the size OF a pea to three ounces in
weight Goaded to frenzy by the
unlocked for chastisement from the
skies, horses ran blindly about,
crashed into show windows and fell
down basement stairways Many per.
sons narrowly escaped being crushed
to death by the hoofs of the crazed
animals. The entire telephone sys-
tenn of the city was wrecked by this
storm and in many districts live cleo
trio wires were broken and formed
short circuits which started fires and
threatened human life. A heavy
downpour of rain followed the hail.

ELECTION OF NEW POPE
Method by which Leo's Successor
will be Chosen.

On the 10th, 'or at the latest, the
l2th day after the death Of the pope,
the conclave assemblies for the cleo.
tion Of the new pontiff. II precedent
is followed. the conclave is held at
the beautiful Sistine Chapel, with in
the walls of the Vatican.
Each cardinal is allowed the SER
vices of secretary and an attendant,
who, while the oonclaye lasts. occupy
rooms adjacent to the particular cell
allotted to their master. On the day
fixed for the meeting Of the conclave,
the cardinals assemble to hear special
mass of the Holy Spirit and to take
the oaths of faithfulness and secrecy.
When this is accomplished, all the
members of the various congregations
go in solemn procession, two by two,
and followed by the long retinue of
attendants, to the conclave, while the
inspiring train Of the "Veni, Creator
Spiritu" are enacted. Once within
the confine of the conclave, the mas
sive doors are shut with double locks
and from that moment until the new
psntiff is elected no person is per-
mtted to pass in or out.
The meals for the assemblage are
prepared within the walls Of the
Vatican and are delivered through n
wicket gate, or rather easement, let
into the great door. 1t is here, also,
that on the first day of the conclav o,
a committee of cardinals, appointed
by the whole body, gives audience to
the foreign envoys. This, however,
takes place before the conclave has
actually met for the pope's election.
The Sistine Chapel is especially fitted
for the holding OF this momentous
council of the church. The stalls of
the cardinals ranged on each side, are
surmounted by canopies of cloth in
the ecclesiastical colors, and at the
far end opposite the high altar, are
places assigned to the secretaries.
When mass has been said and all is
prepared, the conclave proceeds to
its solemn task.

hunting and prospecting tour In the
Diamond creek district of Northern
California, Diamond creek has some
note as a mining district OF Importance
and is the location of the Cleopatra
and other valuable properties The
gentlemen found the summer climate
of that district remarkably enjoyable,
had plenty of vensison and revelled
in all the luxuries Of camp life. They
made two mineral locations which
promise well. One is a copper pros

ing indications Of excellence and the
other is gold quartz, property very
similar to the Monumental Of Shelley

THE SNAKES OF KLAMATH
Held In too High Regard for Use
as Hog Food

Mondays Oregonian publishes a
column concerning report that
klamath ranchers fatten hogs in large
numbers on snakes and produce prize
pork which is marketed in Chicago.
Parenthetically. let us state here that
only enough hogs are raised at present
for home consumption, and that the
quality is superior on account of the
climate, pure water, choice alfalfa
and grain, ON all of which they Joy
fully luxuriate. But the report that
snakes are fed to the hogs is griev-
Gus error-not that the omnivorous
porker wouldn't readily eat them,
but because we regard them of genu.
inc value to general health and So
curity against the encroachment of
rattlesnakes and noxious vermin.
Imagine the poignant sting that would
be impaired to one, knowing the vir-
tues Of klamath snakes, on seeing
bundles of them gathered up with
forks and pitched into hogpens,
cruelty dumped into troughs of sour
swill, to crafty the voracity of four.

feed their cherished Maltese cats and
prize pugdog pups to tho pink salmon
of the Columbian If not, why shonld
they presume that we would destroy
source Of perpetual benefit and com.
fort, even though we might thereby
increase the profits and satisfy the
avarice Of hog -raisers.
One man quoted in the Oregonian's
article hits the nail on the head, and
his words are worth reproducing.
The next man the reporter question
ed in his search for the truth, said:
"Ihere are lots of hogs, lots of big
trout big lakes aud big snakes in
klamath country, but none of those
are so numerous or so big as the liars
who talk about that region. klamath
