A Protruding Human Arm Led the Way to the Bodies of Six Flood Vie tins.

Solomonville. Ariz., Dec. s. -Condi- tions in the flood stricken city of Cliff ton are now slightly improved. The clear. mild weather is to the advantage of the homeless refugees.

 X strong guard is still maintained and four persons have been shot for footing. Efforts will be made to run a train out of the city tomorrow. Plans for a new town to be built on the hills are being discussed.

THE ARMINe OF AUSTRIA.
Would Furnish Italy an Excuse for
 Preparation.

Vienna, Dec. S.-Discussing in the Neue Freie Presse today the relations between Austria Hungary and Italy. Signor Luzzatti. ex-minister of the Italian treasury. is quoted as saying that the military preparations of Aus tIia along the frontier are enough to lead to the arming of Italy. He con- tended that Austria Hungary ought to recognize that the triple alliance of- fered the greatest security for peace between Germany and the Anglo French alliance. The one real danger of the peace of the world. he says. lies between Germany and Great Britain and if war should ensue between those countries, Austria Hungary and Italy would have everything to lose.

The Food plants Of Animals.

ne 600 fIdnlS OF AniTldlS.
The food plants of animals do not
extend to SO great a number as is
generally supposed; in fact where
there Is plenty of range, herbivorous
animals select comparatively few. in
the spring when the verdure is succu-
lent, animals eat of many plants that
they reject later in the season, and in
fact eat of plants that later would be
poisonous, as, for instance, the young
shoots of poke weed, which has many
common names, as garget, ink berry,
pigeon berry, scoke. Botanically 1t is
known as Phytolacca decandra, and
the young shoots of which are used
In cookery in the early spring
In relation to the range of plants,
eaten by domestic animals, Linnaeus,
the great Swedish botanist, was led to
make critical experiments with the
feeding Of domestic animals In Sweden
with plants found there.
Ii must be remembered that that
country is rich in plant life for SO
northern climate. The plants offered
extended to 483 species. The results
obtained were that horned cattle ate
276 species I'D rejected 21S; goats
ate 4i9 species and rejected only 126;
sheep ate of 3S7 species and refused
141; horses ate of 262 species and
refused PIP. Swine accepted only 70
species of those offered and rejected
Ill. The entire list is interesting as
showing the peculiarities OF animals
in the rejection of certain classes of
vegetation; for instance, the goat,
alone, would eat the common flag or
yellow flower de luce. Feathered
headed oat grass was eaten greedily
by sheep, and also by horses, cattle
and goats. Scorpion grass (Myosotis) ,
both the common and water variety,
was rejected by all animals, and when
eaten by sheep Il killed them. The
common spurry was eaten by all the
animals and found to agree with them
The corn spurry (Spergula Arvensis)
is a common weed in indifferently
cultivated fields, both in Europe and
America.
There are many vegetable families
containing poisonous plants, among
the most prominent being the Euphor-
bia or Spurge family, and the Astragu-
lus genera. The so-called milk sick
ness is supposed to be due to one of
he first class, occasioned by cattle
eating of the plant, and the loco weed
IT the plains is of the genus astragu-
us. several varieties of which are poi
;onous. especially astragulus mollissi-
nus and astragulus harnii. The so

A Good Ration for Horses.

j. Y. McLay says: Approximate
ly ten pounds of oats, five pounds
of corn and three pounds of
bran, divided into three equal feeds,
make a days ration that cannot be
much improved upon. The relative
amount of corn can well be increased
during the winter months, and for the
sake of variety it may be omitted at
the morning meal and fed at noon.
The weight fed at each meal should be
kept at about the same, and for the
evening meal crushed oats should,
when possible, be substituted for the
whole grain, along with the bran and
few handfuls of hay. fed wet and
sailed enough to make IL palatable.
Horses soon become very fond OF this
food, and this alone aids digestion"

BLESSINGS OF GUNPOwDER.


While there are great many schol-
ars who are of the opinion that the
invention of gunpowder is to be at
tributed to Roger Bacon, 1t is by no
means settled that the grand old
Franciscan is entitled to the honor.
In fact, the invention of gunpowder
is yelled by thick mystery which in
all probability, will never be cleared
up.
But the inventor. whoever he may
have been, was the unconscious means
of introducing the greatest agent of
human good that history knows any
thing about.
To be sure, gunpowder has been
made to be the means of the mangling
and numbering of millions of the hui
man race, and of the destruction of
billions upon billions of property; but,
Notwithstanding all this, the good that

LOWELL AND THE PEOPLE.

The Salem Journal pays the follow
ing elegant tribute to Judge Stephen
A. Lowell, candidate for the office of
United States senate:
Stephen A. Lowell of Pendleton,
met with a very favorable reception
in his opening campaign speech at
Salem from the republicans generally.
OF course, the people who regard
the senatorship as a private political
preserve didn't like his breaking in
here.
They did not attend mis- meeting,
shut him out Of their organ, and
otherwise manifested their displeas-
ure at his appearance.
They passed the word around that
he was bolter, and was not wanted
as republican candidate for that Of
flee But Lowell goes on.
He sustains Roosevelt, talks for di-
rect election of a senator, and es-
pouses popular republican principles
that do not please the grafters.
Other ways will be found to head
off Lowell. He is not wanted. He
is too clean. He talks out to the
people. \ muzzled candidate must
be had.
If man can talk to the peole, get
their votes and land in the United
States senate without a barrel, what
will become of the hold-up artists of
the patronage peddlers and senate
makers on the old line?
Like Demetrius, of the Ephesians.
their occupation will be gone.

THE CHINOOK WIND

White and cold was the robe that
lay
over the Oregon hills away;
Coldly the mountains lifted face
Cleaned in its wintry crowns em-
brace.
The white-robed hill as sentinel
stands
Like waiting nun with folded hands;
flushed is the pulse of the singing
stream.
Coldly brilliant the forests CLEAN;
Wierd and ghastly, with frozen lips
The earth from its flagon of Silence
sips;
The heart OF the hills beats low, beats
low,
For cruel and heavy its burden of
snow;
The voice OF the hills is faint, is faint,
But never is lifted in sad complaint,
For patient jade is the humble
earth
Meekly waiting the springtime's
birth!
And then on the western sea afar,
ihS phNS VI NhS w lSll dJuT,
And softly stealing on timid wing,
A soft wind comes from the Garden
of Spring!
And oh, the kiss of her passionate
mouth,
Warm with the breath of the Ian
guorous South.
And oh, the touch of her thrilling
hand
Soft as a lovers upon the land,
She steals to the wintry tyrant's lair
And tangles her fingers into his hair;
Her hot breath kisses his pallid
cheek
His lips of Silence in wonder speak!
And oh, how the quivering touch of
her hand
Stirs and awakens the pulseless land!
And oh, how the heart of the world
leaps wild
BY the warm Chinook of the West be-
guiled!
For Life and Wonderment, Joy and
Spring
Are the gifts that her pinions ever
bring
