DANGEROUS VISITOR IN PORT.
Carried Valuable Cargo of Carbides
and Powder.

Plymouth, April 10.-The Hamburg
bark Hebe, which Is now undergoing
repairs at this port, had a decidedly
sensational experience before 1t found
a safe berth here. 1t was towed In
disabled condition into Plym" 18th
sound, but owing to the highly Ian
gerous explosive nature of her cargo,
Sir Lewis Beaumont, the naval COM
mander in chief at Devonport, refused
to grant permission for her to be re-
paired. The Hebe had on board 10
tons Of gunpowder, and 200 tons of
carbide of calcium, vessel and cargo
being valued at 100000. Admiral
Beaumont ordered all war vessels to
be removed from the sound to Ha-
moaze. 1t was feared that should an
explosion occur on the Hebe, the
magazine at Bull Point might be af-
fected and the three towns endan-
gered. Dartmouth and Falmouth also
refused the bark to go to either place.
At last the Lloyds induced Sir Lewis
Beaumont to permit war depart
ment barge to remove the explosives
from the Hebe. This was done and
the damaged bark was finally docked
for repairs.

WARDEN DOES MORE BUSINESS
Licenses and Receipts Increasing ir
Idaho

The report of the state game war
den shows that there are more lovers
OF hunting and fishing in this state
than in most the other states of the
union. says the Boise Statesman. His
department is earning money for the
state. Last year his receipts amount
ed to something over $l6,500 and his
expenses were s96OS.25, leaving a sur
plus of about $1,000.
During the year 1905 there were
1000 game licenses sold to residents
of the state and 1868 to non-residents.
Nonresident licenses are divided into
two classes. Those including big
game and bird shooting as well as
fishing are sold for s25 each, while
those including only bird hunting and
fishing may be bought for IS each.
The state strong box was the re-
cipient of s202, Idahos proportion of
1s fines for violation OF the fish and
game law. About $40 of this amount
came from one county-Blaine.
The game licenses in Idaho are is
sued by justices of the peace or re-
sponsible persons appointed by the
deputy game warden. The issuing
official retains for his services 10 per
cent of the sum for which the licenses
are sold, the balance being remitted to
the state game warden. Each county
game warden is paid a salary of $3.50.
per year, and each one is expected to
be on duty $50 days Of each year.

Extortionate Cost OF Transporting
Mail Runs Up the Expense-Frank-
ing Privileges Also Cut the Govern
ment Many Millions-Rural Parcel
Post Is Favored.

A Washington dispatch to the Ore
gon Sunday Journal gives the follow
ing discussion on the postoffice bill
now before congress:
1.-THE cost of our entire postoffice
establishment" Mr.. Sibley said, sis
now approaching 5000, 900, 900 a year.
Who carries the letters of ours? The
railroads. Do we pay the 5000, ,0OO,-
600 to the railroads? BY no means;
not much more than 81 in IS Is paid
to the railroads. Out of every dollar
that we expend for the postoffice SER
vice we pay just 23 cents to the people
who are carrying our letters for u.s."
He said the pound rate service, the
carriage of second-class matter at /
cent a'pound for the benefit of news
papers and magazine publishers was
a luxury and a very expensive one;
and cited the postmaster general who
represents that the matter of the
second-class approximates in weight
two-thirds of the bulk of all mail
matter, yet produces only about four
per cent of the revenue.
Mr.. Smyser. Of Ohio, offered an
amendment to the postoffice bill maxi
ing the appropriation for rural free
delivery s32,40O,O0O instead of $685.
200, 900, the increase Of s4,2Qo,0oO be-
ing paid rural mail carriers for horse
hire and wagon equipment.
Mr.. Foster Of Vermont, pronounc-
ed himself in favor of increased pay
for rural carriers, but owing to the
deficit in the postoffice department
saw no help for carriers at this time.
He thought the deficit was largely
tracea5le to the amount of frankable
matter being sent out by the other
departments of the government. II
this was diminished Mr.. Foster
thought the rural carriers could be
given an increase in pay.
Mr.. Foster said as a matter of fac,
there was no deficit in the postoffico
department that it was a fiction OF
legislation. He suggested that IL q
rural parcel post stamp should be
created for the carrying of packages
between local merchants and patrons
on the route up to two pounds ant
the actual cost of carriage be placed
to the credit of the rural mail carrier
1t would not be long before tha
branch of the postal service would bt
self-supporting.

Indians Rounding Up Horses.

A roundup of range horses on the
Yakima Indian reservation is taking
place at Satas, few miles south of
Granger. All the Indian owners of
horses are interested. About 5000
head are now punched in corrals and
more arc coming in. The horses are
driven into corrals, where they are
kept until a certain day, when each
owner may secure his horses. Until
that day not a horse is allowed to be
taken away. Buyers from far and
near are gathering, for good range
horses can be secured from the poorer
Indians at 50 and up a head.-Gran-

Of the nostrils at the bills extremity
is second peculiar feature. While
hunting for earthworms 1t probes the
soft ground, making a continual SNUFF
ing sound Thus the scent is evidently
of great help In finding food and the
reason for the position Of the nostrils
quite apparent.
A third peculiarly is the very dispro-
portiOnate size of the egg In oompari-
son to the bird. it being a little less
than one-fourth the birds own weight.
One kiwi's egg found weighed four
teen and ons-half ounces. while the
bird weighed Just under four pounds
(sixty-four ouncss) and was about the
size of an ordinary hen
