How to keep our homes clean, sweet and

While there is no occasion for alarm, 1t is

that "An Ounce of Prevention Is Better

harmless to the human system, than is
Borax
Borax has been known and used for gen.
erations as purifier and preventive against
epidemic Influences originating from unclean-
ly conditions resulting from unsanitary
sinks and drains, and when used as a hot
solution in the proportion of two tablespoon
fuls to a gallon of hot water flushed through
the offending locations, removes every trace

Plan to Move the Wheat.

The National Bank of Commerce of
Seattle has submitted a plan for the
moving of the wheat crop of the In
land Empire. The plan is to exchange
sight drafts on New York for the
wheat, which drafts will be payable
within 10 days after the wheat is de-
livered to the exporter. Ordinarily
the wheat is paid tor in sight drafts
on London, which very much prolongs
the time which the local banks must
carry the accounts. r. r. Spencer,
vice president of the National Bank of
Commerce, stated that If the export
ers would agree to accept these sight
drafts on New York he would under
take to furnish the cash and cree
necessary to get the crop started on
its way to Europe. Mr.. Loose, repre-
senting the wheat interests, has stated
that he has little doubt that the plan
will be accepted

Convics Escape.

The most sensational prision break
that has occurred at the Reno, New.
prison in many years took place Mon
day afternoon, when the convicts Rich
ard Forrest, James Watson and John
Edwards overpowered their guards,
shooting one through the hand, and
taking possession of a butcher wagon
in the prison yard drove into the hills.
Deputy Sheriff Knoblock was one of
the first to find the trail of the escaped
ocnvicts. He no sooner got started
than he was informed of their location
by bullet whistling by his head.
Knoblock saw two men duck out of
sight beneath the high sagebrush and
he soon had them covered with his
gun. They surrendered and were taken
back to the prison by their captor
Convict Edwards committed suicide
rather than surrender.

A ROYAL WEDDING
Observation-Disclosures
LOUISE WERE MARRIED.
Many Kings and Queens Present to
See Ceremony-Pretender to Throne
of France Escorts Bride to Altar
Gifts of Bride and Gowns Worth
Millions of Dollars.

London, Nov. 17.-Wood Norton,
the English home of the duke of Or
leans, where the pretender to the
throne of France holds court, wei
coined a distinguished company Satur-
day at the wedding of Prince Charles
of Bourbon and Princess Louise of Or
leans.
The religious ceremony to which
this company had been invited took
place in an improvised chapel built of
canvas, but so cleverly painted that 1t
could hardly be distinguished from
the gray stone house which it adj
joined.
The chapel was connected with the
castle by an arched walk, over which
the bridal procession proceeded.
The duke of Orleans led with the
bride, meeting at the altar the bride
groom, who was attended by King
Alfonso of Spain.
The score of other royal personages
in attendance included the queens of
Spain and Portugal, Princess Henry of
Battenberg and Grand Duke Vladimir.
They were followed by members of
the diplomatic corps, including the
American ambassador, Whitelaw Reid,
and Mrs. Reid.
The service was that of the Roman
Catholic church, with choral accom-
paniment by an orchestra and soloists
from the Paris opera house The
bishop of Birmingham celebrated mass
and bestowed the pontifical blessing,
the remainder of the service being
performed by the dukes chaplain, who
delivered a short address, in which
he referred to the happy gathering
of SO many members OF the dukes
family, which, he said, unfortunately
could not occur in France"
After the ceremony the wedding
banquet was served at the castle, at
which the duke of Orleans and King
Alfonso proposed the usual toasts.
During the afternoon the duke re-
ceived the French journalists in king
ly fashion, speaking a few words to
each of them and then becoming a
plain country gentleman again, jump
ing into his motor car, which he him
self drove to the station, with King
Alfonso as a passenger.
The wedding presents came from all
parts of the world and mainly con-
sisted of jewels. They represented,
according to estimate, between $780,
900 and $5,000,000.

PRESIDENT CALLS GOVERNORS.
Roosevelt Announces Great Conference
In NAV.

in May.
President Roosevelt has invited the
governors of states and territories to
meet him at the White House May 10,
IA and Is next to discuss the question
"of means to conserve the natural re-
sources of the country" Invitations
are to be extended to the members of
both houses of congress and to the in
land waterways commission. The i'm
pcrtance and manner in which the
subject is to be considered are indi-
Gated in the presidents letter to the
governors, which says, in part:
1T is evident that the abundant nat
ural resources on which the welfare
of this nation rests are becoming de-
pleted, and in not a few cases are al
ready exhausted. This is true of all
portions of the United States; it is es-
pecially true of the longer settled
communities of the east. The gravity
of the situation must, believe. appeal
with special force to the governors of
the states, because of their close rela-
tons to the people and their RESPONSE
bility for the welfare of their COM
munitieS.
THE matters to be considered at
this conference are not confined to any
region or group of states, but are of
vital concern to the nation as whole
and to all the people. These subjects
include the use and conservation of the
mineral resources, the resources of the
land and the resources of the waters
in every part of our territory.
I'm order to open discussion shall
invite a few recognized authorities to
present brief descriptions of actual
facts and conditions, without argu-
ment, leaving the conference to deal
with each topic as it may elect"

Dynamite Kills Four
People Near Cheney

Cheney, Wash, Nov. 2f.-Four rnen
were killed and three injured in an ex-
plosion in construction Damp on the
Portland & Seattle railroad, 10 miles
south of Cheney, while thawing dyna-
mite for blasting. The dead and in
jured were taken to Spokane, the
MANNED bodies being removed to the
morgue. while two of the injured men
were taken to the hospital.
The men were hand drilling in the
rock preparatory to blasting, and found
that their powder was too chilled to
be used effectively. AS is usual in
such cases they built a fire to thaw the
dynamite and placed 30 pounds of dy-
Mantle near it on piece of tin. They
were working with their drills 20 feet
from the fire, when one of them MOTTO
ed that the dynamite was catching
fire. Calling to three other men, he
ran toward the fire to take the dyna-
mite out of range of the flames.
Charles Psscuzzi, the foreman, see
ing their danger. started toward the
blaze, calling to the men to let the
powder alone and get away from it.
He had approached within 80 feet of
the fire when the dynamite exploded,
hurting the four men to the ground and
killing them instantly. One of the
bodies wa so mutilated that it was
taken TO Spokane in cracker box.
Lingo Ferrar, Vito Esperto, Frank
Caroino and Geddo Gotto were killed !;
O. Civo was badly cut about the head
and shoulders by flying rock and John
Bornese was thrown to the ground and
stunned by the shock of the explosion
Charles Pascuzzi, the foreman in
charge of the gang. was badly bruised,
but not taken to the hospital
The men were Italian laborers hired
by the firm of Abb g. Plastino, who
have taken the contract for the con-
struction of the new road at that point.

SQUADRON in Trim
ATLANTIC FLEET is ABOUT
READY FOR PACIFIC TRIP
Five of Sixteen Great Yankee BATTLE.
ships at Brooklyn Yards-EIeven a.
the Yards Nearby-Great Quantities
of Food to Be carried-Many Small
Boats Eliminated.

New York, Nov. 20.-Five of the 1e
big American battleships which next
month will start on one of the most
notable cruises of the worlds naval
history, are at the Brooklyn navy yard
receiving their last preparations for
the long journey to the Pacific. The
other IL are at the Norfolk, Boston
and League Island navy yards. Sew
eral of the battleships now at other
yards will come to New York during
the next few days to go into the dry
docks at the Brooklyn station. Eleven
and possibly IL of the fleet will rem
devious in New York harbor before De-
cember /, and will sail either on that
day or December for Hampton Roads.
from which port the start TO San Fran
cisco will be made December 16, after
a review of the assembled ships by
President Roosevelt.
In addition to the five heavily armed
fighting craft at the local yard, four
vessels of the auxiliary squadron of
supply and repair ships also are under
repair and will be ready in a few DAYS
to receive their full cargoes of sup
plies.
The task of loading the foodstuffs
is by no means one of the smallest
of the problems involved in the set
ting out of the heaviest fighting squad
ron ever assembled under the Ameri-
can flag, a fact which is patent, when
of potatoes alone the acquisitions now
in the hands of the pay corps Offices
call for 100000 pounds. The Connecti-
cut, the flagship of Admiral Evans.
which will lead the battleship column
in its hemisphere-g irdling cruise, was
taken out of drydock late yesterday,
her white sides glistening with new
paint
Quite change is being made in the
appearance of the superstructures of
the battleships by the stripping off of
nearly one-half of the small boats for
merly carried. 1t was once the idea in
the navy to carry small boats enough
to accommodate a ships company in
case of wreck or disaster in battle.
Such a plan has long since been i'm
practicable, for the crews of the mod
ern fighters have grown to more than
800 and if small boats enough to carry
