THE UNWELCOME GUESTS

Yes. I've got a few words about
vacation" too; and | want to say
them to you folks who are thinking
about this time of the year, and
never any other time-of your
country friends" where you can
ego and spend the summer be-
cause-and your only reason, to
tell the truth-because sit will be
cheap" But it generally mighty
dear" to your country friends"
before they see the last OF you. You
will probably remark about the
third day that it is 80 lovely to
have your own chickens and eggs
and cream" and Giving is so much
cheaper in the country" Don't
you think it! Every mouthful of
cream or chicken means expense,
and care, and work, hard toll be-
hind the pillow, no play, no rest, no
day off, and represents to the
farmer all the interest" he has on
earth to draw on.
You think it so delicious to have
your own fruit and not be obliged
to buy it as we city people do" And
then you turn Arabella and James
and the rest of the tribe into the
strawberries and smilingly remark
how the little dears are enjoying
| themselves"
You do not think, and wouldn't
care if you did, that too often that
same berry patch" is all the
source of money the farmer has
until crops" are ripe. When you
leave you tell poor Kate" that she
has really gone off dreadfully in
her looks" and think that you are
sure she does not manicure her
nails any more"
Not very likely when she has
probably "manicured" over the
wash tub and cook stove for you
and yours for six mortal weeks.
Just remember, will you, that very
likely poor Kate" would like to
have a chance to invite "folks"
herself; and just let your country
friends" do the inviting if they
want you.

ITALIANS EVEN GO
ON STRIKE IN TACOMA

The common laborers and track
builders of Tacoma have gone on
strike for more wages. The
strike seems to be general, includ-
ing laborers of all nationalities, and
when conditions are so bad that
even the Italian laborers rebel they
must be about as bad as can be
imagined. The construction COM

TROTTING TRAINERS ARE
ELATED OVER OUTLOOK.

BOSTON, May 26-Right now al
most every trainer who is located at
Readeville is o fthe opinion that he has
a corner in the best 2 and 3 year old
.trotters of the entire country. Any one
who will spend the afternoon there
will be tempted to believe that the pre-
vailing opinion is nearly correct /.
With several rich Futurity events
to be raced for every year there has
been a great boon in youngsters elig-
ible to those stakes and which promise
to make good by care and judicious
handling. 1t may be that the success
of Sadie Mae and Miss Adbell in an
nexing the Kentucky events, and both
being owned at the time wholly or in
partnership by New England horseman,
has been the direct cause of the boom
in this part of the country. Anyhow;
it is here with a big noise.

SIR THOMAS Upton
TO CHALLENGE AGAIN


NEW YORK, May 26-Sir Thomas
Upton is still sanguine that the yacht
designers, yacht builders and yacht
sailors of Great Britain can win back
the American Cup. He has just arraing-
ed for the building of another Sham
rock, the fourth boat of the name, and
that promises to be unique.
The designer entrusted with the com
mission, Mr.. Alfred Mylno of Glas
gov, is a pupil of that master of the
art of yachting designing, the late Mr..
George l.. Watson, and his training is
supplemented by a fine dash of daring
originality in his wor
The problem which he has to face
is even more complicated than that
which usually c%onfronts the designer
of an International racer. Even before
the building of Shamrock Ill. ard the
Reliance it was the opinion of m st
of the authorities on this side Of the
Atlantic that the rating rule used in the
America Gun contest was was of such
a nature as to leave the challenger
under its provisions with but a hop
less chance of success.

With the constant cry Of SCARCITY
of labor, but few people can clearly
realize the magnitude of the operations
now being carried on bv the Western
and Quincy, California. There are
fully 1000 men at work on this section
of the road. Fully 1000 of this num-
Der are at work between Oroville and
Big Bar. a distance of ~thirty-four
miles. This portion o fthe road. it is
said, will require fully two years to
complete las some of the road will have
to be blasted out of solid rock.
The Western Pacific officials indig-
nantly deny the statements made in
the imported interview with James
Carter, which has been published in
some of the interior papers, to the ef-
feet that it will be impossible to bnild
a safe road through Fletcher River
canyon. Carter, in substance, says that
a road is being literally blazed through
n slaty formation and will be forever
sliding on the track and he does not
believe the road is safe as planned.
The Western Pacific officials scout
this idea. They aver that before a
pick was lifted or a blast placed, the
most thorough investigation had feen
made, by the eminent engineers, of the
soil and rock formation to be passed
through. Every point brought ont by
Carter was anticipated by the enein-
e. rs. and not a dollsI was expended on
construction work until the company
was assured the road could be built;
that the one per cent grade was prac-
ticable, and the rock formation safe.
hTe head construction Officials at
Oroville say that if nothing interferos
with present plans, the work of laying
track between that place and Marys-
vile will begin by September 1, and 1t
is expected that before the year 3
ended trains will be running between
the two cities The work is to be
rushed as rapidly as possible, as with
trains operating between Oroville anc
Marysville, a big reduction will be
made in the cost of TRANSPORTATION and
there win be no delay in transit.

DRAKE RESENTS STORY
ANENT G%RAPPLE,s vrc~np

NEW YORK May, 26-John "A.
Drake said that he was not plea ed
at the impression becoming prevalent
that he regretted Grapple's victory in
the Metropolitan handicap because
he will not be able to get any kind
of a good price on the gelding if he is
started in a selling race, and also
because of the fact that the son of
Woolstrope will be devriped of a
chance in an overnight hanlicap re.
cause of weight.
Mr.. Drake says tn.s sort of story
makes him out an entirely mecenary
horseman, and he naturally denies TIT
such is the case. He likes to win a bet
as well as any man who goes TO rne
races, but that is a comparatively
small part of the pleasure ne lerivcs
from his connectinons with the Amer

MURDER AND
A ROBBERY
THWARTED

PIOCHE, New, May 26.-Monroe
Sanford and Cowboy Nell,' the
two under arrest at this place for plan
ming a wholesale robbery, are awaiting
trial, having been indicted by a spe-
cial grand jury.
1t appears now that their plot was
deeper than was at first supposed.
Every house in De Lamar that carries
money was to be looted, and the work
was to wind up by numbering Frank
and Sid Pace, then rob the store, and
bury the bodies in a grave already
dug under the house in which Monroe
and Nell were living.
Had it not been for Detective Hanks
gaining their confidence and joining in
with them in all their work they would
have robbed the citizens of De Lamar
of at least $685. 900 and murdered two
of as reputable young men as we have
in our camp. The plot was well laid
and had they not supposed they recog-
nized in Hanks a noted criminal known
as Jack Golding, now serving time in
the penitentiary, and confided in him,
it would have been carried out as
planned.

PARDON OF HOYT HAYES,

Gov. Hayward has granted full
pardon to Hoyt Hayes, of Oconee
county. 1t will be remembered that
about year ago Hoyt Hayes was
sentenced to be hanged having been
convicted of killing his wife. The
case was very stubbornly fought on
both sides, and in the first trial the
jury failed to agree; on the second
trial Hayes was convicted of murder
and sentenced to be hanged. An APP
peal was taken to the supreme court,
which court affirmed the decision of
the lower court. The testimony was
submitted to the governor and the
whole ease hinged upon the fact
whether or not Mrs. Hayes wrote a
note which was found in her room the
night of the killing. Tn this note it
was stated that Hoyt Hayes had been
kind to her and she did ii herself
The position of the state was that
Hayes was the author of the note
himself. The governor, when he came
to consider the testimony, had spcci-
mems of the handwriting of both
Hayes and his wife submitted to en-
pcrtS. two Of whom reached the con-
clusion that the note was in the hand
writing of Mrs. Hayes. Thercupon
the governor cnmmuted his sentence
from death t" life imprisonment in
the state pcnitcntiary.
The governor was severely criti-
cizcd by some newspapers at the time.
but with the evidence before him and
the responsibility of mans life
resting upon him. he did what he
thought was the proper thing, and it
is very difficult for an outsider to
place himself in the governors posi-
ti"n. or c"urcc Hayes was either
guilty or not guilty. If guilty, the
death penalty should have been in
tlicted, if not. he should have his lib
crty, and inasmuch as the governor
reached the conclusion he was not
guilty of the murder, he has done
the proper thing III granting to Hayes
Il full pardon.
