WHALE DRAGGED BY VESSEL.
Steamer WeatherwaX Towed Monster
Fish for ~ Days.

With shrleks that rose up high
above the shrill and awful bowling
Of the hurricane, a tortured whale
rent the night air for six long hours
as it vainly strove to vomit the knot
line and rotator of the schooner j.
NJ. Weatherwax, which it had swal-
lowed, says a San Francisco dispatch.
The disturbance in the interior
economy of the monster which swal-
lowed Jonah was not a circumstance
compared to the frightful agony suf-
fered by the one which came along
from Eureka with Weatherwax as
the knots were surely and safely
reeled off in its alimentary canal.
The Weatherwax took II days to
come down to this port and part Of
the delay is attributed to the mad
struggles of the whale in trying TO
disgorge the rotator. According to
the log of the vessel, monster whale
was found to have swallowed the
knot line and rotator at the stern of
the vessel
For hours the monster screamed in
agony, as the schooner, forced along
by the storm, caused the rotator to
inflct awful internal wounds on the
leviathan. Death ended the suffering
of the whale shortly after the line
was cut by a tender hearted sailor.

Presbytcrians Of North Carolina Peu.
titlOn Congress Regarding Seattle
Exposition.
The good people Of the southland
object to having the Seattle exposition
opened on Sundays. One OF the first
memorials presented to the senate
after It's assemblage, was o(,ared by
Senator Overman OF North Carolina
1t was the petition Of the Presbyter-
Ian synod OF North Carolina asking
congress TO compel the Alaska Yu-
kon-Paciflc exposition to close its
grounds entirely on Sundays.
Before congress can do this 1t must
make some provision for government
participation in the exposition.
The only way congress can compel
the closing Of the exposition grounds
on Sunday is to make an appropria-
ton for government buildings and ex-
hibits and make that appropriation
contingent upon p promise from the
exposition management to close the
gates on Sunday. If 1t did not care
to go to that extreme, congress could
provide for government participation
and stlpulate that the government
buildings should remain closed on
Sunday. Just what will grow out Of
the protest of the North Carolina
Presbyterians remains to be seen.

KILLED STRANGE ANIMAL.
Salem Hunter Bags Species of Game
Tint Puzzles Experts.

Henry Mann of Salem, Oregon,
last week shot and killed an animal
that has long been puzzling hunters
north of the upper klamath lake,
Says an exchange. For the past
seven years tracks have been found
in the country around the big springs
on the Klamath Indian reservation
that were supposed to be those of a
big buck. The tracks were of a pc
culiar character and easily distin-
guishable from other tracks.
However, when shot, the animal
proved to be a sort of boar. It
weighed over 500 pounds and had
tusks 10 inches long. The hair was
long and coarse and the skin around
the head was thick and wrinkled.
The tail was long and bushy, re-
sembling a cows tail. The skin,
when taken from the animal weigh
ed 10 pounds.
From the peculiar characteristics
of the animal it is supposed that it
must have escaped from some zoo
or menagerie years ago and has been
roaming in that region since.

"ActiOn of the government. through
its subordinate forest reserve officials
and others, in cooperating with the
stockmen for the annihilation of the
coyote" said Alfred Penney OF
Naches, to the Yakima Republic, "is
in my mind a rather serious matter
which should be deeply considered by
the orchardists. There are two sides
to every question and l have grave
doubts whether the benefit to accrue
from a slaughtering OF the coyotes
can be proven to be positive.
Is Enemy of the Rabbit.
"The coyote is the natural enemy
Of the rabbit and It is the rabbit we
have to fear here more than anything
else. We can guard against the coy
ote but we can't guard against the
rabbit. At least not effectively. We
know absolutely that the rabbit has
done to the people in Australia and
we know also what we have suffered
from its depredations.
"We know that the coyote keeps
the rabbits under subjection. We
know also that rabbits, unmolested
and in a country where food is plen-
tiful. especially in a climate as mild
as this, multiply most rapidly Now
IL we kill off the coyotes what is
there to prevent an enormous in
crease in the number of rabbits. es-
pecially as the country, under irri-
cation, is yearly becoming able to
support more?
Question of Greatest Good.
"Stockmen are practically the only
ones who suffer from the coyotes,
and their losses while large in the
aggregate, are not as large as are
generally supposed. 1t is a question
Of the greatest good to the greatest
number In many sections of the
state now rabbit drives have to be
resorted to as a protection. but de-
spite all efforts they continue to in
crease. The coyote we know. will
not touch horses or horned cattle and
so far as the feathered stock is con-
cerned we can protect 1t at night.
That leaves the sheep and in a meas
ure they can be cared for. How can
we fence against the rabbits? What
way IS there of protecting young

Fruit Will be Paramount.

PAINFUL ACCIDENT.
A Runaway Horse Causes q Serious Iniury
to Mra. e. B. Qshorne

Mrs. E. B. Osborne, of the West
side, sustained a most painful injury,
a compound fracture of the right leg
just above the ankle, from q runaway
horse, last Tuesday. Mr.. and Mrs.
Osborne had been on trip towards
Summit Lake, to look for an estray
horse, in hired rig. 1t was while
Mr.. Osborne was feeding the horse,
and his wife and babe were still in
the buggy, that the animal made a
dash for the woods, over logs and
stumps, speedily demolishing the
vehicle and throwing the occupants
to the ground. By wonderful pres
ence of mind. Mrs. o. held the babe
alOft, and it miraculously escaped
injury. She struck the ground so
forcibly, however, that her leg bone
was broken in several places, and
she sustained other injuries of a
minor nature. The accident hap
pened near Summit, and the frantic
husband, himself q cripple, had to
go some distance toa farmhouse for
assistance. On his return with
means for transportation, he found
that the two-year-old babe had tried
to minister to the comfort of it's
mother by placing a horse-blanket,
dropped from the buggy, over her.
The unfortunate woman is now hav-
ing the best of care at the hospital
and it is hoped that no lasting in
jury will result, although her re-
covery will doubtless be slow.

became hilariously elevated. The &C

on the general subject of moral re-

doing something to elevate the tone
of the liquor traffic, the present con-
dition of which, they agreed, was
shocking. The hour was late, and
there were no dealers at hand on
whom to try the experiment of eleva-
ton; so it was resolved to do the
next best thing and elevate the sa-
loon itself. A roundup of the camp,
the seizure of the available supply of
jackscrews, the solemn procession to
the hotel, the elevation of the entire
building to the utmost limits of the
instruments, followed in the order
named. The lack of appreciation
shown by the proprietor, next morn

THE sHRINERs' FIESTA.
From the Pinnacle of Happiness to the
Depths Of Sorrow.

Los ANGELES, Cal, May 12. 1907
Ed. STANDARD:
AS l have very little to do besides
bottoming chairs, l shall employ a
few minutes in boring your readers
with a short sketch pertaining to our
Shriners' fiesta during the past week
Imagine if you can 300, 600 people on
the streets of the only city in the
United States where such a gorgeous
display could take place, and then
imagine you see millions of electric
lights flashing from every building
OF any consequence in the city. with
the streets as light as MONDAY, and
then, IN your imagination, behold a
column of ShrinerS two miles long,
from almost every quarter of the
globe, dressed in gorgeous uniforms.
and following in their wake fifteen
electric floats that rival in effect the
tale of the Arabian Nights Enter
tainments and then imagine, if YOU
can, the same procession two nights
after, followed by a floral parade such
as was never before dreamed of, and
you will form pretty good idea of
our fiesta in the City of the An
gels" 1t was simply immense and
should have to invent new vOcabu-
larry of my own to attempt to describe
it. 1t is conceded by all the Shriners
present that it transcribed anything
they ever saw, and such hospitality!
The people stood aghast at the mag
nificence of it. Never before were
Shriners so royalty entertained
nothing to mar their pleasure during
the week, nothing but continual
round of pleasure until they started
on their return journey home to meet
their loved ones and tell of the won
derful city of the west and it's i'm
menSe resources. Then, like thun-
derbolt. all was changed to mourning
in seconds time, and the delegation
from Pennsylvania were the princi-
pal victims. While the train was
running at a high rate of speed at
HondO, small station near Santa
Barbara, it struck an open switch
wrecking the train killing 80 and
Gripping more than forty men, many
of whom will die. What a terrible
climax after such u brilliant enter
tainment! I'm the midst of life we
are on the verge of the grave"

THE TUMWATER FALLS SUITS.
Supreme Court Decides That the Light and
Power Company Owns an Ample
Flow Of Water.

Flow OF wi tef.
After several years of litigation,
with varying results in efforts to
establish control over the power of
Tumwater falls, it seems that victory
has finally perched upon the banners
of the light and power company, as
opposed to the brewery interest, by
o decision of the State Supreme
Court, rendered this week, with
Judges Rudkin and Dunbar dissent
ting.
The present decision reduces the
claim of Mr.. Schmidt, of the brewe ry
company, from an amount of water
that would flow 522 feet a minute
through an opening four feet seven
inches in length and twenty inches
wide, to one three feet by one foot in
size. 1t seems that the claim of the
brewery people rested upon a lost
deed that had not been put on record.
This deed, it was contended, gave
the greater flow of water through the
larger opening; the record chain of
title accords the less right, by pur-
chase and foreclosure; and the court
found that Mr.. Schmidt had not dis
covered the existence of the deed
conveying greater rights until after
purchase Of the property. This deed,
by general knowledge, was made
sometime in the 7Os by Clanrick
Crosby to Crosby & Co. The right
passed through several hands, and
in the deal, somewhere, the deed was
lost, and the foreclosure proceedings
were of necessity based solely upon
the smaller right. Within the present
decade, however, the larger flow has
been claimed, based upon oral evil
dence.
Mr.. Schmidt is undisputed owner
Of the Biles' tannery water-power, on
the east side of the falls, as well as
the smaller flow on the west side,
said to be ample for his present and
probable use, and the power company
will, by this award, be able to operate
its plant without further interrupt
