CONGRESS TO INVESTIGATE.
Will Make Sweeping Inquiry of
Hazinp at Academy.

The Washington Times of last even
ing says the following about the pros
poets Of a Congressional investigation
of the Naval Academy in regard to
haizng:
"An influential member of the House
Committee on Naval Affairs said to-
day that so soon as the Secretary Of
the Navy has disposed of the Naval
Academy court martial cases, a joint
committee of the Senate and House
would be appointed for the purpose of
making a sweeping investigation Of
hazing at Annapolis. The inquiry
will not be directed at the hazing mid
shipmen so much as against the officers
on duty at the Academy, whose duty
it is to see that these practices are
broken up.
f" / think it is O mistake, said this
gentleman, to order wholesale dismis
sails of midshipmen, as &c appears is
now being done as a result of the sud
den activity on the part of Naval
Academy officers in investigating haz-
ing. | would punish these young men
by graduating them with their .clases,
but setting them back 100 numbers.
and compelling them to serve for long
periods at sea. In this way the Gov.
ernment would get some benefit from
the 500, 90 to $3.50, 90 expended in ed
ucating each midshibman, and the
latter would be properly punished for
violation of the law.

PRESIDENT WILL BE ROASTED.
Special Dispatch TO Evening Capital.


Washington, ID. c., Jan. 27.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt will be the most distin-
guished victim to be broiled and roast
ed at the annual winter dinner of the
Gridiron Club, which will be held at
the New Willard tonight The Grid
rion Club is that famous organ nization
of the Washington correspondents of
the various large newspapers and other
publications, represented in the Ma
tional Capital. Its dinners are among
the most interesting functions in the
life of the Capital and have a reputa.
tion of their own throughout the conn
try. At these dinners no mercy is
shown, no respect for any individual
or institution, no matter how high or
dignified. With cRustic wit, cutting
sarcasm and the most mereiless persi-
fiage men and affairs alike are dis
sected and criticized and ridiculed.
Special efforts have been made for this
occasion and those who are in a posi-
tion to be we'll informed say that to-
night dinner will surpass any pre-
vious Gridiron dinner ever given in
brilliancy and interesting features. 1t
is expected that President Roosevelt
will be the principal victim to be
placed on the gridirou and "done

MANY WASC0 COUNTY SHEEP
TOTAL OF 70 BANDS ARE NOW
RANGING IN THAT SEC
TON OF OREGON.

One of the greatest, if not the great
est industry in Wasco county, is the
sheep business, and through lack of
range has caused many to abandon
what has always been one of the best
paying industries open to residents
of the county, there are still a large
number who are gaining in earthly
goods by sticking to the wool, says
the Dalles Chronicle.
Some idea of the extent of the
business may be obtained from the
semi annual report of Stock Inspector
P. J. Walsh, from which we find that
there are 70 bands in the county, and
a total of 134,572 sheep.
Mr.. Walsh says that in examining
the various bands he found two bands
infected with scab and, in accordance
with the law, had them dipped twice,
SO that all sheep in the county are
now free from disease.

Arrow THROWING.

An old English sport that still sur.
wives from the days when the bow and
arrow were in use Is that Of arrow
throwing, and in parts Of Yorkshire II
is still made one Of the features Of ath-
letic meets. The arrows are straight
shafts three feet long, without either
barb or feather, and are thrown by the
aid Of bit of string wrapped about
the thrower's hand and about the butt
of the arrow. A skillful man can send
the arrow $50 yards, though it requires
some experience to cause the arrow to
leave the string without tangling. Once
the knack is acquired the sport is said
to be more fascinating than putting the
shot or throwing the hammer.
