ing over the Brandywine Hills, a black
snake stuck his head out OF hole in an

when he saw me. Then lighted a little
piece of paper and dropped it in the hole
in just about a second the snake Started

through the hole my companion grabbed
him around the neck. took hold Of the
tail as it appeared and we stretched aim
feet and a half. He did not fight Much

country do not like to have the black-
snake killed.
One day a few weeks ago was walk

great commotion in the leaves. A black
snake had been disturbed by the noise I
made: He rushed toward me until he saw

THE DYNAMITER.
He Must he q Man of Many Parts,
With Nerve and Coolness

He Must he Man of Many Parts,
With Nerve and Goodness.
In an article on Dynamite; the Pow
er Untamable," Samuel Hopkins Ad-
ans thus describes the man who han
dies the explosive and his ways:
'The finished type of the dynamiter
is the man who has had the ability to
rise and the luck to survive long
enough to graduate from the plant and
become an agent. In his best embodi-
ment the explosive agent is something
of a chemist, something of a quarry
man, something of an electrician, a
good deal of mineralogist and above
all man of resource and GOODNESS. It
is he who does the exploding. The fac
tory gets notice from a railroad that a
contract is open for the destruction of
ledge Of rock which blocks their line
Of advance. Away goes the agent, with
his gripsack full of ready made de-
struction, to look the thing over. First
he draws upon his mineralogic lore to
determine the nature of the rock. If it
is very hard he uses a high grade of
his explosive, which delivers a quick,
shattering blow. In case of soft rock
the lower grade supplies a blast which
will produce wider effect, although it
will not break the dislodged rock into
such small pieces. Next as a quarry
man he considers the nature of the
ledge and the indicated assures or
veins and plans his drilling according
~. Then he must attend to the drilling
Of the holes, the tamping of the charge
and-here his electrical KNOWLEDGE is
called for-the arrangement of the bat
terles. After few blasts he gives the
railroad company his estimate, and if
1t is accepted he may oversee the lob
himself.
"Often he meets his rivals on the
ground. Then comes the tug of war.
Tricks of the trade are many and not
all Of them scrupulous. Where many
agents are gathered together it seems
to be a point of honor with every man
to handle his particular article with
the utmost apparent carelessness,
while he manifests shrinking timid-
lty toward the products Of his COM
pettors. This is to impress the out
slider. So the agent will toss about a
twenty-five pound package of dyna-
mite like so much meal, kick it, drop
it over fences or down lodges and gen
orally maltreat it. If the dynamite is
fresh this is all right, but occasionally
something goes wrong, and theory, to-
gether with the theorist, is blown to
atoms in practice. Theoretically a
high explosive should detonate only
when set off by means Of a illuminate
Of mercury cap, and some of the safe
ty explosives apparently live up to
this. But anything with nitroglycerin
in it IS best treated with considera-
ton, for nitro is a very uncertain
quantity

FRUIT FREE FROM PESTS.
Government Expert Praises Orchards
of Walla Walla.

NJ. B. Waite, of the United States
department of agriculture, spent yes
terday in Walla Walla viewing or
chards about the city under the
charge of Secretary A. C. Moore, of
the Commercial club. Professor Waite
is official pathologist in charge of the
diseases of orchard fruits and his ter
ritory covers the whole country, says
the Statesman.
He attended the irrigation congress
at Boise and spent some time in ex-
amining orchard conditions in that
state. He was persuaded by Secre-
tary Moore TO stop off a day here
and get in touch with orchard condi-
tions around here.
When asked to talk about what he
saw. Professor Waite said:
Il am surprised to find such a free
dom from pests in such an old fruit
county as this, 1t suffers far less than
many of the places I have examined
in the northwest which have hardly
begun to raise fruit. l found princi-
pally pear blight and prune curl the
latter in very slight degree.
There is really remarkable free
dom from leaf bligtts. fruit spots and
fungus diseases: also of root rot.
"One thing that impressed me par
ticularly was that you seem to be able
here to be successful while raising al
falfa in the orchards. This is con-
trary to every rule and experience
elsewhere in so dry country as this
yet You seem to be doing it and sue
ceeding too"

Jack Mcintyre, the dealer in bogua
money, who was arrested here last
week by Sheriff Taylor, is once more
at large, having escaped from Deputy
Marshal Griffith while being taken to
Portland.
Mcintyre was taken from Pendleton
on train No. 8. which was very late
that day. Shortly after daylight and
while the train was just the other
side of the bridge across the John Day
river, Deputy Griffith took the hand
cuffs from his man so that he could
wash. While thus freed Mcintyre
dashed for the door of the car and
pushing aside negro porter, jumped
off the train. At the time the train
was going at a good rate of speed and
the deputy failed to follow his prison.
er until the train had been stopped by
Conductor Glendenning.
owing to the start which McIntyre
had before the train could be stopped
he managed to get completely away
from his guardian. The officer then
began wiring and 'phoning to officers
IN all adjoining towns in hopes of Sc
curing his prisoner through them.
In the opinion of Deputy United
states Marshal Glenn Bushee, who is
here today, Mcintyre will be retake,
as Sherman county, especially near
the river, is so sparsely settled that a
stranger is easily detected. The sher-
ifs and marshals in the interior towns
have ell been notified. and should Nc
lntyre strike southward he will doubt
less be captured. Also the railroad
is being watched to prevent his escap-
ing by beating his way out on a train,
No Surprise at Escape.
Among those who saw Mcintyre
while he was here there is no sur
prise at his effort to get away. He is
more than an ordinary crook both In
Intelligence and force of character.
SO with the almost certainty of a long
term at McNeil's island before him
1t is no wonder that ne made a break
for liberty.
