DUCKS WE'RE FAST
TO SURFACE OF LAKE,
Strange Yarn Spun by a Pair OF
California Hunters.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Aug. IL
Alfred Hermon and Roy Phillips,
two local hunters and prospectors,
had a remarkable experience a few
days ago. That is, they say they
had, and this is the story they tell:
They were prospecting in the
northern portion of the Mojave des-
ert, when they CHANGED to note In
the distance the glimmer of water.
At first they thought 1t was mir
age, but later, after the mirage had
disappeared, the glimmer of water
still remained, so, thinking to find
a good camping location, where they
could replenish their water supply,
they journeyed thither. 1t was dark
when they arrived on the banks of
tiny lake, and they went into a
camp and waited for the daylight to
explore it,
In the morning they were sur
prised to note that the little body OF
water was covered with wild ducks.
They cautiously approached within
shooting distance and fired into a
bunch of the birds. They expected
to see the survivors rise in body
and fly away. but this they did not
do. There was great Topping OF
wings and squawking, but not a bird
left the lake
An investigation disclosed that the
lake was a boreat pool and the birds
were prisoners, because of the great
amount of crystals of sal soda which
had formed upon their feathers as
they were swimming In the pool.
The men laid in supply of fowl,
liberated the others by clipping off
the crystals, filed upon the lake for
mineral purposes, and returned to
I town.

SPORTSMEN WANT
BETTER CANE LAWS

SEATTLE, Aug. 11.-Game pro-
lection in all it's phases was discussed
yesterday afternoon in Elks' hall by
prominent sportsmen.
President Frank Pontius of the
State Game and Fish Protective as
ISOLATION, under whose auspices the
convention was held, was delighted
with the result of the meeting, and
stated that it commenced to look as
if unanimous action had been secured
in advocating important changes and
additions to the existing laws.
Among the recommendation and
changes advocated in the game laws
were:
Creation of a state game warden,
who shall also have control of what
are known as game fish. The asso-

Two men, Charles Ekwell and o.

1000 feet of falling lumber at the
St. Paul mill yards about noon today

fatal injuries.

load of lumber, when the scantlings

Farmer Jones and his performing
pigs are at the Edison theater again
this week. This remarkable trio
was here few weeks ago and it
proved to be one of the best at

stage here. Teddy" the star per-
former, shoat only three months
old, exhibits a degree of intelligence
that is truly wonderful. His chief
accomplishment is playing euehre.
The other two, Professor Dewey"
and Diamond" are expert perform
ers on musical instruments.
Besides Farmer Jones and his tall

other attractions at the Edison this

Burns has but lately arrived from
the East, where he is heralded as
conner in the middleweight class.
He has had in all 81 battles, with
but one single decision rendered
against him. That was to Mike
Schreck, the famous Cincinnati
fighter, whom he later defeated in a
six-round bout at Milwaukee.
Burns is now under the manage
ment of Billy Lavigne, one of the
best known fight managers of the
Western country, and Lavigne de-
clares that the coming battle between
his man and Cyclone Kelly should be

MAYOR WANTS THE
CONTRACT REVIEWED

At last night council meeting
Mayor Wright suggested a five-year
renewal of the contract between the
city and the Snoqualmie & White
River Power company for the sup

contract expires November 8, 1907,
and as the rate is reasonable it would
be to the citys advantage to renew
the contract
The matter was referred to the

John A. johnson, democratic candi-
date for governor, opened his campaign
in Minneapolis Saturday night, ad-
dressing a crowd which filed practically
every seat in the International Audito-
rum. At least 1000 persons heard him,
and at the close of the speech gave him
such an ovation as one seldom sees in
Minneapolis. The entire audience rose
cheering and waving handkerchiefs or
hats, and the applause continued for
several minutes. There was liberal
sprinkling of republicans in the assem-
bly,.
Mr.. johnson s speech was last on the
program, but was made the feature Of
the evening. The others on the pro-
gram contented themselves with merely
touching the issues and furnishing some
entertainment. The candidate made it
his "key note' speech, and outlined
the future course of his campaign in a
manner which carried the minds and
sympathies Of the audience.
In opening, he said that the cam
paign would not descend to personal
abuse if he could prevent it. However,
he said:
