WASHINGTON, OREGON AND THE NORTHWEST
PATENTED DEVICE TO
PREVENT ASPHYxIATION

Victor E. Campbell, jeweler of
Goldendale, has perfected an invention
which, if introduced simultaneously
with the introduction of gas for light
ing purposes, he claims, would have
been the means Of saving hundreds Of
people from death by asphyxiaiton.
The invention is nothing more nor
less than an automatic appliance to be
applied to any kind of a gas burner,
so constructed that it Immediately
checks the flow of gas through the
burner at all times save when the gas
is burning.
The burner works on the principle
of the expansion of metal under the
influence of heat. The burner is fitted
with thermostadt which, when COOL
shortens sufficiently to turn the valve
and shut off the supply of gas to the
burner. The principle is simple, the
mechanism apparently strong.

Bears Galore.

Bears have become so numerous in
Hood river valley during the past
week that they have become an an
noyance to ranchers, who have tele-
phoned to town for assistance in get
ting rid of them, says the Glacier.
Last Thursday a party consisting of
Cecil Holman, Ed Wright, Chas.
Morse and o. H. Gray went out in
the valley on the west side and in
a few hours returned with a monster
bear they had killed. Monday an
other party headed by Holman again,
went out in response to a similar call
and returned in the afteronon with
another good sized specimen of ursus
reposing in the bottom of
their conveyance. The bears are said
by hunters to be more in evidence
in the lower valley at this season of
the year on account Of their fondness
for acorns. which are now falling and
cannot be found in the higher altf-
tudes where bruin usually stays. The
two recently shot near here were in
fine condition and had presumably
been feasting on the succulent nuts
of the oak.

GREAT RA|LROAO|NG FEAT
New Rails Being Laid IN The Big
Cascade Tunnel
No INTERFERENCE WITH TRAIN SERVICE
COMPANY EXPERIENCES TRoU-
BILE IN GETTING MEN TO
WORK IN HOLE.

Laying new rails in tunnel three
miles long and sixteen feet wide with
ou1 interfering with the train service
over the line is the railroading feat
now being performed by the Great
Northern railway in Cascade tunnel,
saws the Wenatchee World. Hurrying
in and out of the tunnel between
trains and laboring by the light of
gasoline torches, the expert trackmen
are slowly but surely covering the
three miles of subterranean road, and
in six weeks the Oriental Limited and
the Fast Mail will move smoothly and
safely through the tunnel on the IS
pound rails.
The laying of steel in the big hole"
as the railroad men call the tunnel, is
in connection with the plan of the
Great Northern to increase the eff
cheney of the entire Cascade division
by laying heavier rails. This work Is
now in progress, but when the road
masters prepared to place the new
rails in the tunnel they encountered
obstacles unthoughr of.
In the beginning the white men re-
fused to work in the dark and danger
Gus concrete tube which pierces the
summit of the Cascades. Japanese
trackmen were called upon, but failed
to make good.
Finally large amount of overtime"
pay was required to induce the white
men to enter the "hOle."
They now work in the tunnel night
ly, all the work being done under
block system, which prevents the pas
sage of trains while at work. Three
engines pull and push the heavy trans
continental passengers through the
tunnel, leaving it in a suffocating con-
dition for half an hour. These are
east DOunQ Trains 1Or Inero is a n0dVy
grade in the tunnel rising to the sum-
NIT Of the road at the east portal.
The steel layers work by the light
of innumerable torches, tearing up the
old rails and laying new ones with
never more than half a dozen rails
out of place at one time. Echoing
and re-echoing through the long mar
row tube, the sound of their hammers
can be heard at either entrance. The
work seldom proceeds more than two
hours at time, for the heavy freight
traffic cannot be delayed. For this
reason nearly six weeks will be nee
essary to lay the three miles of new
rails. The Great Northern officials
expect to have new rails over the
entire division before the heavy snow
falls and renders work out of the
question.

Burn Body of Dead Hindu.

In an isolated spot on the outskirts
of Vancouver, B. c., the body of Mara,
a Hindu, will be burned in accordance
with the religion of his people, states
a British Columbia report. A few
weeks ago Mara left his home and
shipped at Calcutta with a crowd of
Hindus, who all had dreams of making
their fortunes in British Columbia
Just after the ship sailed he was at
tackled by tropical fever. This, COM
bined with the hardships of the long
journey, proved more than he could
stand and when he arrived at Van
couver he was in a terrible state He
was removed to the detention hospi-
tai where he died.
His friends have asked permission
to burn the remains and the city au-
thorities have consented, so long as
the ceremony is conducted in an iso-
lated spot There are six Hindu pa
tients on the city's hands now. AL
most all the immigrants are old SOL
diers who have served in the British
army and they cannot understand the
reason why the laboring classes here
so strongly object to their coming.

NAY DAY RIOTS IN PARIS
thoritfes Prevented the Tumult
Getting Serious.

Paris.-The mu~ch-dreaded May
day failed to bring the revolution which
infammatory journals predicted, none
the less 1t brought scenes of excitement
and violence. The labor districts, in
which thousands of troops controlled
with difficulty, and even central portions
Of Paris have taken on the appearance
OF a siege, with regiments Of infantry
and cavalry camped about the Arc de
Triomphe, the bourse, the Bank OF
France and the great railway stations,
while military sentinels pace before
banks and private establishments.
The main thoroughfares in the resi-
Dental portion of Paris were tranquil.
In the west end, far removed from RI
otous scenes, people were disposed to
treat the events in the labor quarters
as harmless effervesence. 1t was, how
ever, much more than that. Through
out the afternoon dragons, republican
guards and ~cuirassiers charged disor-
Gerly masses, sweeping the Place de
La Republilque and rode in the Boule-
varde de Magenta. Toward nightfall
cavalry charged with drawn swords,
and many persons were wounded on
both sides. The manifestants over
turned omnibuses and threw up hasty
barricades. Over 1000 arrests were
made during the day.

REPAIRING BRAIN
A Certain Way by Food.

Every minister, lawyer, journalist,
physician, author or business man is
forced under pressure of modern con-
ditions to the active and sometimes
overactive use of the brain.
Analysis Of the excreta thrown out
by the pores shows that brain work
breaks down the phosphate of potash,
separating it from its heavier compan-
ion, albumen, and plain common
teaches that this elemental principle
must be introduced into the body anew
each day, if we would replace the loss
and rebuild the brain tissue.
We know that the phosphate Of
potash, as presented in certain field
grains, has an affinity for albumen and
that is the only way gray matter in the
brain car be built. 1t will not answer
to take the crude phosphate of potash
Of the drug shop, for nature rejects 1t.
The elemental mineral must be pre-
scented through food directly from ma

DOESN'T REST ON BED ROCK
CHICAGO'S CITY HALL IN DAN
GER OF COLLAPSING.
It II Showing . Decided Tendency
to Peer Into the New County
Building Excavation.

Chicago.-ghe city hall building
has settled to such an extent since the
completion of the excavation for the
adjoining new county building that it
has been found necessary to rope in the
entrances to prevent pedestrians from
being killed by falling sections Of cop
ing and cornices.
At the south end of the building, on
Washington street, the foundations
have sunk several inches, while the en-
tire building has assumed a list in the
direction of the hole which the new
building will cover.
The city hall and the county building
were of the same massive construction,
and as it was necessary to use giant pow
der to wreck parts of the latter, there
has been no apprehension Of the city's
administrative building ~collapsing.
However, though its foundation walls
are many feet thick, they do not rest
on the rock which underlies the city,
but merely on the clay subsoil.
Ominous shivers ran through the
building, Sunday, and with many snaps
and groans cracks appeared within and
without. Hillocks appeared in the
board floors and desks assumed angles,
the floor thing tilted and dirt emerged
from crevices where it had lain undis-
turbed for years.

Urbana, Ill.-Unless legal OBJ

removed from the vault in Mount Hope
cemetery to another vault 20 feet dis

Mrs. Mary B. Richards, of Boston.
A legal battle for the possession OF
the body, the result Of an alleged feud

Sensational charges marked the suit,
which is said to be the first of its ma
