MORE TROOPS
TO CUBA

Special to The Sentinel.
Washington, Oct. 5.-Thcre is lit
tile doubt that if the news from Cuba
indicates resistance to the plans of
Secretary Taft, second expedition or
the army will be launched ON the ISL
and i'm short order.
The troops have been selected and
it is probable that the steamers under.
charter, sixteen of which are in OF.
near New York, will be utilized in
the transportation of 5000 more sold
iers.
The blockade of ports through
which assistance might be sent to the
rebels, was the last act of the stratc-
gists of the war and navy depart
ments. Four ports have been block
AIDED.
1t is likely that within the next = I
hours at least one of the ships will be
sent to Santiago and that ms soon as
the army reaches Cuba and has been
detailed for duty, other ships will be
assigned to such posts.

NO DAMAGE TO FRUIT.

In spite of the fact that the frost
last night was a heavy one no dam
age was don to the fruit. From no
section of the valley have reports of
injury to the apples or other late
fruits come. The reason is too far
along for such damage from frost
to be caused.
The grapes will be strengthened
in quality and luciousnoss as a result
of the frost.
Reports as to damage by the hard
wind on Wednesday afternoon are
still being received. Some fruit men
estimate that one third of the ap-
pies in this section and the lower val
ley were shaken from the trees but
some think that this estimate is too
high. However, the damage was
heavy at all accounts.

THE JURY DISMISSED.

The failure of the district attorney
to have his chief witnesses for the
prosecution. a man by the name OF
McLuen. here this morning brough
the trial of Robert Kennedy, Bert Du-
Shay and Robert Jackson. the three
men charged with murderously as
saulting and robbing man in the
railroad yards in June, to a sudden
end
The case was called for trial yes
terday afternoon about $50 clock.
Both sides announced as ready, the
defendants were represented by At
torney Welsh. Some time was spent
in securing a jury from the regular
panel and after the jury was secured
no evidence was taken as the hour
was late and an adjournment was
taken until this morning.
When court convened this morn
ing District Attorney Selig announced
that ne could not proceed as his chief
witness was not here. He informed
the court that he thought the man
would arrive on one of the noon
trains. Judge Stevens dismissed the
jury and allowed a postponment ia
the case on request of the district at
torney. The time of the court occu-
pied in securing a jury and getting
ready for the trial was expended in
useless work. owing to the fact that
the district attorney entered into the
trial without having his star witness
present, and another jury must be
selected to try the case.

except for small sizes of lumber, the
swampers prepare the bed under the
supervision of the foreman.
If the tree to be felled stands upon
hillside or wha1e the suface of the
ground has an incline upward advan-
tage is taken of this to throw it
toward the upward incline. The dis
tance of the faM is, thus lessene6, and
the logs can, of course, be pulled more
readily down hin than upward.
Patches of soft ground or thick
growth of undertirush ALSO aid the log
gers, as the force of the fall can be
broken if the trunk desceuds upon the
swampy ground or the underground.
but usually piles of boughs are placed
along the falling line, so that the
trunk will first strike these, the piles
acting as buffers
When the foreman or undercutter
has decided the direction in which the
tree is to be cut down and the bed is
prepared the first iDcision is usually
made with the AK, two men cutting In

This incision extends about half way

The next step is to guide the trunk

by driving wedges into the incisions. |

be necessary for the aXmen TO cut |
