TORPEDO BOATS NOT WANTED.
Officers Cannot Be Found to TAX.
Them to Manila.

Norfolk, Va, July Silt begins to
look as If nothing would be done by
the navy department toward sending
the torpedo boats stationed here at
present, to the Asiatic station. 1t was
originally planned that these boats,
some six or seven in number, should
leave here early In April, and every
thing was in readiness for the long
voyage; that is, everything but the
personnel for the boats. 1t has been
found next to impossible to obtain the
officers and men for the protracted
tour of duty which is necessary in or
der to train them for the long voyage,
much of which must be under tow
Now comes the suggestions from the
Asiatic station that 1t might be Just as
well to keep the torpedo boats at
home since they are really not urgent
ly required In far eastern waters,
where their presence with the fleet
would somewhat retard the cruising
program, and where they would have
to lie in ordinary at Cavite much as
they now remain at this port. It is
possible therefore, in view of these
difficulties, that the torpedo boats will
stay in home waters. although It is n
part Of the strategic program that
there shall be at the Asiatic station,
in readiness for need of them, flo
tilla of torpedo boats.

CHICKEN EVERY DAY.
Palouse Farmers Forced to Extreme
Measures TO Keep Harvest Hands.

Some farmers of the Palouse coun-
try have hit upon novel scheme to
relieve the situation occasoned by the
scarcity of harvest hands. says the
Moscow Star. Seeing that the offer
of good wages has failed to induce
many who as a rule don't particularly
care to work, some have decided that
once a day they will spread chicken in
profusion on their tables and make
life in this section a veritable paradise.
The whole northwest is experience
ing a shortage of help and for that
reason harvest hands are commanding
good salaries, short working hours and
the delicacies of life on the menu.
