Give Interesting Lecture.

Edward Howard Griggs gave an in
teresting lecture yesterday afternoon
at the First Unitariap Church. corner
Of Franklin and Geary streets. The
subject was "Ravenna, the Light That
Failed" Stereopticon views were used
To illustrate the lecture. Mr.. Griggs
dealt with that interesting period of
history where Theodore. the Gothic
king. sought TO recover the culture OF
the old Roman empire. The art of
the fifth and sixth centuries can be
studied only at Ravenna, the speaker
said, and thus the charm in the mo-
saics and churches of the place lies in
the fact that they give so clear an
idea OF that period Of Christian his
tory. The lecture was well attended.

TACOMA. April 1s.-John j. Rut-
ledge, a prominent mining man and
promoter at Dawson, announced there
on his return from California that
three gold dredgers costing $500. 600
will be taken into the Yukon basin
this summer. The Forty Mile Com

the mouth of Forty Mile River to the
boundary, will take in one dredger.
In this company Rutledge is interest
ed. Former Governor William Ogii-
vie will take in another dredger for
use on Stewart River. The third one
will be taken into the Atlin country.
The dredger bought by Rutledge while
outside has been used in California.
The company did not have time to
construct a new dredger in season for
use this summer and accordingly pur-
chased one already at work in the
California placer districts.
Rutledge announces that two big
American concerns will invest heavily
in Klondike mining this season. They
purpose buying large areas of hydrau-

FARMING AIDED
BY DYNAMITE
Washington Man Believes
Arid Land May Be Redeem
ed by Breaking: Hardpan
EXPERIMENT is TRIED
Theory Advanced That Solid
Stratum Prevents Moisture
From Rising to Surface
EXPERIMENT Is TRIED
Special Dispatch to The Call.

TACOMA, Wash, April 1s.-A
unique scheme for making barren land
fertile is being tried at several places
in Eastern Washington and also near
Pendleton. Oregon. After some expert
menting with good results. farmers are
using dynamite to break UP hard pan
stratum, which lies just beneath the
surface. Superintendent McDill Of the
Pendleton Poor Farm has found that
excellent soil exists beneath the hard
pan, together with an abundance Of
water. The hard pan keeps the 'mois-
ture from coming to the surface and
likewise prevents trees or alfalfa roots
from penetrating down to the moisture.
In consequence the surface OF the
ground is dry alkai and will grow
nothing but sage brush. BY breaking
up this stratum of hard pan. McDf1I
figures that the moisture win have a
chance to rise and the roots to go
down. Crops are being planted over
a large area of ground where dynamite
has been used for this purpose. Com
plete results will not be known until
fall, but if the crops grow as expected.
dynamite will become an important
factor in breaking up the sage brush
land underlaid with hard pan near the
surface.

Lieutenant Colonel William L.
Pitcher, while in temporary command
of the Twenty eighth Infantry, is de-
termined to have order in that regi-
ment. He is an officer that displays
neither fear nor favor.
Shortly after the Twenty eighth ar
rived from Manila the commanding
officer. Colonel Owen ]. Sweet, was
taken i'll and is now in the hospital.
Colonel Pitcher took command One of
his first duties wGs 80 issue Circular
l2. which referred to the condition of
the cantonment barracks. The result of
this was that Battalions 1 and 3
were reprimanded. and the officers
ordered to remain in the post until the
orders of the circular were fully COM
piled with.
Under this ban came First Lieutenant
William B. Aiken and Second Lieu
tenant Morris c. Foote Both of these
officers, according to rumor, rebelled
against the orders of the commanding
officer and, while they were supposed
to remain within the confines of the
post they are reported to have alb
sented themselves during this period.
The measures adopted by Colonel
Pitcher, while only in accordance with
the regulation of army rules, did not
seem to meet with the general favor
of certain junior officers. The colonel
is not a man to be bullied. He or
dered the camp cleaned up, and he was
going to have it cleaned, and so far
as he was concerned that was all there
was to it. There was not much time
to do this, as his orders were positive
that the cantcnment should be placed
in first class condition before the
school of application began, which
was yesterday morning.

visit upon that officer and had friend

ject in question. This happened the

o'clock yesterday morning, and while
passing a soberly clad stranger one
of them uttered the word damn" 8"
which so shocked the stranger that he
stopped the young men and began de-

sin of profanity. Instead of giving a
hearing to the homily Mr..
White and Mr.. Peters interrupted it
by flippantly chiding it's author for
"butting in" where he was not wanted:
and their irreverent remarks so exas-
perated the stranger that he expressed

Then they laughed AT him until he
struck one of them, and while they
were endeavoring to retaliate in kind
he suddenly blew a loud blast on a
police whistle and nimbly ran away.
Patrolman Cavanaugh responded to the
