PREPARE FOR MOBILIZATION.
Plan to Encamp All the Military at
Seven Points.

Plattsburg, n. Y, March 30.-The
army quartermasters have already
taken up the question of the transpor-
tation of all the cavalry, field artillery
and infantry in this country for mobi-
lization at seven camps in different
parts OF the country, including Platts-
burg Barracks. 1t will require vast
amount Of preliminary work to get
everything in readiness for the trans
fer of the troops, although it is in
tended by the president to have the
operations and the encampment con-
Quoted as in war times, when there
will be the least possible dependence
upon the railroads or other accommo-
dations.
For the most part the troops assign
ed to the camps will march to their
destination. The greatest distance
covered by the troops ordered to
Plattsburg will be from Washington.
A part of the Washington garrison,
probably two companies of engineers
with their appliances, will march to
the Plattsburg camp. Great interest
throughout the service is taken in the
presidents plan for general concen-
tration of the troops. 1t Is the first
gathering of the sort ever held in
this country on such a scale and it is
to be followed by monthly encamp-
ments of two nights each, after the
troops return to their respective sta
tions, continuing through next win
ter.
The troops will carry their full kit
with them on their summer tour, and
will adopt the system of regular field
provisioning. To this end the COM
missary officers are preparing to issue
the necessary equipment for the cook
! ing of the food. At the barracks here
there will be about so companies ir
addition to the regular garrison.

How to Boil Water.

To boil water would seem to be
very simple thing, and yet the late
Charles Delmonico used to say that
very few people knew how to do II.
1.-THE secret is," he said, "in putting
good fresh water into clean kettle al
ready quite warm and setting the wa
ter to boiling quickly and then taking
it right off for use in tea, coffee or
other drinks before It is spoiled. To let
II steam and simmer and evaporate un-
til the good water is In the atmosphere
and the lime and iron and dregs only
left In the kettle is what makes great
many people sick. and 1t is worse than
no water mt ALL" For water boiled like
this and favored with few drops Of
lemon juice Mr.. Delmonico used to
charge as much as for his best liquors.
and he often recommended it to his
customers and friends who compliance

CONTRIBUTOR NEGLIGENCE
United States Court Disposes of Case
by an Instructed Verdict.


The Boise Capital-News mentions
the most recent development in
damage case that has attracted wide
attention.:
In the United States court this
morning Judge Beatty instructed the
jury to return verdict for the de-
fendant in the case brought by Mrs.
Frances b, Russell in which she
asked for a judgment in the sum of
S4995, damages caused by the death
Of her husband in December, 1903.
After the testimony was all sub
mitted the attorneys for the railroad
company moved the court to instruct
the jury to return a verdict for the
defendant, assigning number of rea-
sons for the motion, the principal one
being that the deceased contributed
to his own death by carelessness at
the time of the accident, he being on
the track not in the course of his en-
p'oyment-
The plaintiffs attorneys contended
that the defendants train was run
ming at high rate of speed, going
about so miles an hour when ap-
preaching an incorporated city, at
the time of the accident, and that the
engine was not carrying any head
light. For these reasons the law of
contributory negligence did not ap-
ply.
The case will carried to the cir
cult court of appeals on appeal from
Judge Beatty's decision in sustaining
n motion for verdict. VIII r. King
Of Ontario, and John ]. Plowhead OF

END OF AN INTERESTING LIFE.
English Girl Served I'm Four of Carl
baldis Campaigns.

Florence, March 30.-The death of
Signora Jessie White Mario has reviv-
ed the memories of her remarkable
career as a staunch ally of Giuseppe
Garibaldi, with whom she went to the
various campaigns in which he
fought. AS a young girl named Jessie
White, she left her home at Cowes
while still in her teens, to study art
in France and Italy. She was daugh-
ter of a well known Isle of Wight
boatbuilder. In Italy she made the
acquaintance of the Garibaldi family,
and acted as a sort of governess in
the Garibaldi household.
In 1857 Miss White was engaged
in journalistic work, and contributed
to English newspapers articles deal
ing with the political situation in
Italy. About that time she married
Major Alberto Mario, one of Garibal-
dis officers. She threw herself with
ardor into the struggle for Italian
unity, and was imprisoned with her
husband for a month or two, being
banished in the end. After a stay in

music, together with an acting, sing
ing and dancing company of almost a
score of the best known favorites in
stage-and count for anything in the
makeup Of a successful production, no
wonder "Plff, Paff, Pouf," which

so successful.
In the first act of "Piff. Paff, POUR
Fred Mace, the well known comedian,
assumes the character of Peter Pouf-
file, the sandman. He Is buried in the

City. The sandman is brought to life
by the advent of eight little sprites,
who fit around the sand heap where
Mace lies, singing wake, Sandman,

Mace gradually comes back to life,
and sings accompanied by the great
pony ballet, "Tm the Ghost That

The character Is very artistic one,
and an amusing bit of clowning. This
musical cocktail held the fancy Of the

months, or 2S5 performances. This
season there are many new hits and

MAY ABANDON DRY ToRTUGAs
Not n Strategic Necessity Since Ac-
QUESTION of Guantanamo.

Washington, ID. c.. March go
There is a difference of expert opin-
ion in regard to the proposed aban-
donment of the naval coaling station
at Dry Tortugas. Rear Admiral r.
Bradford, who is responsible for the
establishment of the station there, is
anxious that the transfer of the place
from the navy department to the
treasury department shall be opposed,
while the naval general board has
urged that the plant at Dry Tortugas
be taken to Guantanamo. Secretary
Bonaparte has advised the house ma
vale committee that more than ST.
100000 has been expended on Dry
Tortugas, and that is it costs $4,000
year to maintain the plant.
Some of the naval officers who
have advised Secretary Bonaparte in
the matter have pointed out that the
place has now lost its strategic value
and would be difficult to defend
should an enemy seek to make an at
tack upon the coal pile in time of war.
The naval general board is practical
ly committed to policy which insists
upon the fortification of coaling sta

DECREASED OUTPUT OF WOOL.
Utah Production Will Show 1,5OO, 200
Pounds Less.

Mark Harris of the Harris Wool
company, is in Salt Lake, says the Salt
Lake Herald. Mr.. Harris is an an
anual visitor to Utah. He arrives at
the beginning of the wool season and
remains here until the last pound has
been shipped from the state.
This years crop, or clip of WOOL
will be 15 per cent less than that of
last year" he said yesterday. "In
the neighborhood of 100000
pounds of wool were shipped from
Utah last year, but not over $500, 900
pounds will be clipped during the sea-
son about to open. The wool will be
of better grade and cleaner than
usual, as the rains have kept the
sheep well cleaned. The drop in the
output can be easily explained Many
raisers sold large herds of sheep this
winter, when prices were high. These
sheep were trailed and shipped TO
Colorado and Arizona"

The secretary of the interior has
approved the irrigation projects for
the Yakima valley known as the Tie
ton and Sunnyside systems This in
formation was received here Tuesday
evening by the Yakima Republic, by
Mr. Fraser, chairman of the CONNER
cial club committee, and by others.
In this approval is included the pur-
chase of the Washington Irrigation
system, or the Sunnyside canal, the
option on which is held by the gov
ernment. The secretary in his ap-
proval instructs the reclamation en-
gineers to proceed with the construc-
ton of the two canal systems in the
usual way.
The secretary of the interior was
not long in making his decision after
the report of the reclamation service
had been submitted to him with IA
vorable recommendation as was an
nounced in the Republic last week.
The report was turned over to him
by Chief Engineer Newell OF the SER
vice last Thursday.
The chief followed the recommen-
dations of the engineers in the field
here and requested the secretary to
approve their findings. This meant
the purchase of the Sunnyside canal
and the building of the Tieton project
and the Sunnyside extension by the
government under the provisions OF
the national reclamation law.
10000 Acres Subject.
The approval of the Tieton and
Sunnyslde irrigation projects by Sec
retary Hitchcock will be the means
of adding about 50.0O0 acres Of land
to that already under irrigation in the
Yakima valley. This additional acre
age will be made subject to cultiva-
ton within the next three years AT
the most, and ultimately, when the
plans of the reclamation service are
carried out, there will be almost 30c,-
900 more acres made available.
The present approval carries with
it an appropriation of S1,75o,o ,o09
"One million of this sum will be spent
on the Tieton project and the bal
ance will be used on the Sunnysids
canal. The amount set aside for the
Sunnyside project includes the St5o,-
600 that will be used to purchase the
system.
Engineer Joseph Jacobs, who is in
charge here now, said this morning
"No time will be lost in getting
these canals built and ready TO turn
water into them. We can't tell now
how long It will take. but the Job !;
to be done in the least possible time
consistent with good work.
The Tieton project will develop
approximately $4,000 acres OF land
There may he few acres less or a
few more than this amount when the
engineers complete their final surveys
and selections. The Sunnvside canai
will bring an additional $4,000 acre,
under cultivation. OF this amount
about 1000 acres will be developed by
an extension of six miles and the zi,.
600 acres additional will be the land
that is under the present system
without water right.
The government will sell water
rights to the owners of this $4,000
acres"at $50 an acre. This will brlne
in the sum of s1,250,000. The pur.
chasers of these water rights will have
10 years time in which to make the
payments aud there will be no inter.
est on deferred payments and nc
water rent. This would make the
water right about $40 an acre.

Mr.. Bonaparte has advised con-

should reimburse the navy depart
ment for some of the expenses incur
red in establishing the coaling sta
ton at Dry Tortugas, although, of
course, only small fraction of the
original expense of establishment can
be exacted, probably not more than
100000.

THE STEEL SQUARE.
story Of the Invention OF the Tool

story of the Invention OF the Tool
Used by Carpenters.
The large steel squares used by car.
penters are such common tools that
perhaps few know when and where
they were first made and how they
came TO be use,l or even give the mat,
Ter thought. The making of them is
great industry now, but when the last
century came in there was not one in
1se.
The inventor was poor Vermont
blacksmith, Silas Howes, who lived in
south SALISBURY.
One dull. rainy day peddler Of tin
ware called at his shop to have the
blacksmith fasten shoe on his horse
Such peddlers Travelled up and down
the country. calling at every farmhouse,
buying everything in the way OF bar
ter. This one bad a number of worn
out steel saws that he had picked up In
various places. Howes bargained for
them, shooting the peddlers horse and
receiving the saws in payment. and
each thought lie had an excellent trade
His idea was to polish and weld two
saws together al right angles and thus
make rule or measure superior to
anything then In use. After a few at
tempts lie succeeded in making a
square, marked it off into inches and
fractions OF inches and found that it
answered every purpose that he in
tended it for.
In the course OF few weeks be made
quite number during his spare hours.
These he sent out by the peddlers, who
found every carpenter eager to buy
one. Soon be found orders coming in
faster than be could supply the de-
mand. One of his steel squares" would
sell for SIS or Sc, which was five times
as much as it cost him.
He applied for and obtained a patent
on his invention so that no one else
could deprive him Of the profit 1t gave
him. 1t was Just after the war of 1872,
and money was scarce and difficult to
get but he worked early and late, and
as he earned money he bought iron and
hired men to help him. In few years
he was able to erect large factory and
put in machinery for the making Of
squares. which by this time had found
their way all over the country and had

Such was the small beginning OF a
