crossed in his fight with the dogs that
the approach of the hunters was not
noticed until 1t was too late for the
deer to escape except by leaping down
a high bluff.
With a tremendous leap the animal
cleared the bluff, striking in its de-
scent a sapling that DETECTED his
course and falling between two logs,

with its feet in the air. unable to es-
cape. Here the buck was held until

TELL TALES OF INJURY TO
INDUSTRIES OF AMERICA
Returning voyagers Filled With Pessi-
mistfc Stories, but Statistics show
Better State of Affairs.

NEW YORK. Aug. 1S.-The crush of
returning European travel has set in.
Homecoming Americans all bring back
a story of the harmful effect in Europe
of the recent disclosures in our busi-
ness world. Inquiry here, however, in
dicates that, while the first announce
ments resulted in an almost total can
collation. of orders, a more normal con-
dition has returned. The beef trade
has so far recovered that the exports
are now but IS per cent below normal.
The Russians, Germans. Roumanians
and Galicians, who are the formidable
competitors OF the American petroleum
industry, have used the European press
attacks to tehir great advantage. A
serious injury to the American prod
ucts has resulted. One American oil
company. which made application to a
foreign Government for permission to
erect a storage plant to receive bulk
American petroleum, was refused by
the authorities on the claim that
President Roosevelt's message to Con-
gress has diseredited the quality of

advanced-one providing for the lease
OF the st. Paul to the Southern Pacific

vided for the exchange of 100 shares of

cash for each 100 shares Of St. Paul
common and the exchange of loo shares
of Southern Pacific preferred and s12,-
500 cash for each 100 shares of st. Paul
