Boys Leg Broken.

Guy COnnOrs, a 15-year-old boy who
resides with his parents at 1914 Hays
street, broke his left leg just above
the ankle about o'clock yesterday
afternoon, as the result of a horse he
was riding slipping On wet pavement
at Eighth and Grove streets and fall
ing with him. He is a student Of the
High school, but will be unable to at
tend school for several weeks.
Young Connors was riding along
Grove street at an easy gait as the
horse reached the pavement, when the
nag's feet went from under him, and
ne fell heavily upon his side, catching
the boys left foot beneath his body
as he fell. The plucky young fellow
tried to hobble into the Camas livery
barn by himself, but was unable to do
so.
His father was hastily summoned
from the Palace livery barn at Sixth
and Grove, which he is operating, and
took the lad home, where a physician
attended to his injuries.-Boise States

IMPORTANT CONVENTION is NOW
BEING HELD AT CHATTA-

One Of the Objects Is to Bring About
Harmonizing Quarantine Regu-
lations in the South.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Nov. o.
tine conference, which opened here
this morning, Is one of the most i'm
portant gatherings ever held in the
south and Is attracting the most in
tense interest all through the southern
states owing to the Importance Of the
| subjects which will be considered by
| the conference. The object of the con-
ference is twofold. One Of the objects
is to consider the problem Of harmonic
ing the quarantine regulations in the
southern states, either by some agree
| ment between the various state gov
ernments or by placing them under
national government control. Another
important question is that concerning
the best methods of attracting desir-
able immigration to the south, while
discouraging and excluding undesir-
able immigration.

governors of Tennessee, Louisiana.

EUGENE LENNON STOPS SEWER
WORK ON HIS LOTS IN
SPOKANE STREET.
Thought 1t Might Result In Some Benz
eft to His Old Enemy,
John Albeit.

Eugene Lennon yesterday withdrew
his consent to the city laying sewer
pipe across certain parts of his lots in
Spokane street to connect with the
new Christian church being erected ON
Palouse street, because he was of the
opinion that John, Albeit, who owns
property adjoining, would be benefit
ted by the new system.
Mr.. Lemons action compelled the
sewer construction gang to stop work
after fifty feet of trencning had been
excavated. Mr.. Lennon was disposed
to let the work proceed if the water
department would change the line so
that 1t would not pass over a corner Of
Alheits property. Water Superintend-
ent Knight refused to change the lines
and the matter was allowed to rest I'M
til the street committee Of the council
can look into the matter. The enemity
existing between Mr.. Lennon and AL
heit has resulted in several amusing
complications arising in Spokane
street. Mr.. Lennon refuses to allow
Albeit or any of his men to cross the
city sidewalks at that point and on two
occasions Albeit or his men have been
arrested on complaint Of Lennon. Mr..
Albeit is now out on bonds to appear
in the justice court on a charge of vio-
lating the city ordinance by driving
across sidewalks. Mr.. Lennon was as
usual the complainant.

FROM NORTHWEST PAPERS
Only 20 Per Cent Signed Up.

The board of consulting engineers
who met here to determine whether

parting.
In a general way it has been un-
derstood their conclusions were IA
vorable but it has been apparent that
something had caused a hitch. From
all the Statesman has been able to
gather it seems members Of the board
were surprised to find a large per-
centage of the land under the Deer
Flat reservoir was still unsigned This
worried them because they did not
feel justified in recommending inaug-
uration work while such conditions
existed.
1t appears that of some $1,000
acres of private lands under the res
ervoir, only 70 per cent. had been
signed up. Of the $1,000 acres of des-
ert lands included, only 35 per cent
had been signed.
1t is the purpose of the project to
irrigate a solid body of land, not
scattering tracts, and this failure to
sign up has consequently caused a
hitch of the most serious character

SQUAD Raising.

In the large cities the supply Of
young pigeons for table use has never
been equal to the demand. Like every.
thing else. squad raising is compara-
lively easy after one understands 1t.
1t Is best Of course to begin with a
small outlay Of money, gradually en-
larglng the enterprise. Rather oddly,
while pigeon rearing seems just the
kind OF small business woman Is
fitted for, the large squab farms are In
almost every instance conducted by
men, There is, however, a lady near
Philadelphia who makes large In

A part Of an ordinary barn loft would
do to begin. II should be set OF to IT,
self. The birds breed four or Ave times
a year II they are protected from the
cold In winter. Two eggs are laid and
two young ones hatched at time.
One of the great squab rearers OF the
country receives not lessN than $4,000
a year from the birds. Nearly half of
this is profit, They sell at the rate of
about 80 cents a pair. Where much
profit is to be had from the squads
special pigeon houses must be made.
These birds require plenty Of room and
fresh air as well as plenty Of water
and exquisite cleanliness, The pigeon

proved has large flying cage attach

BOWEN TO REMAIN.
Familiarity With Venezuelan Affairs
 Keeps Him al His Post.

Washington, February f0.-It may be stated that while the President had in mind some time ago a transfer of Min ister Bowen from his post at Caracas to higher one, this intention has been abandoned or at least the execution of the plan has been indefinitely, suspended owing to the importance of negotiations which have been in progress between American and Venezuela representing the adjustment of certain American claims against the latter country.
 Minister Bowen has been conducting these negotiations in behalf of the State Department to his entire satisfaction and though his claims of promotion are re- cognized 1t is felt that because of his familiarity with the subjects under nego- tiation and his close relations with the Venezuelan government he should remain for the present at Caracas. Moreover, 1t is pointed out that if he were withdrawn from that capital at present the action might be misconstrued by the Venezuelan government into a disproval by MT. Bow en's own government in the conduct of the negotiations.
