AMERICAN WATCHES
ARE THE
BEST nv THE WORLD

WALTHAM WATCHES are the best American
watches. We know the people and the tools that
make WALTHAM watches, and we know they are
unequalled. We pay the highest wages paid
anywhere, and the result is the finest product made
anywhere. If dealer tells you that Swiss watch
is better, he does so because the amount saved
in wages by the Swiss manufacturer goes to the
dealer himself as an excessive profit on the sale.

ISLANDS DEVASTATED.
Further Details Of Typhoon In the
CaroIlnes.

San Francisco. June 10.-The first
details Of the havoc wrought by q
iyphoon and tidal wave In the Caro-
line islands In the latter part Of March
were brought here by Rev. G. H. Jag
now, a missionary who arrived on the
steamer Coptic. A few days before
Easter Sunday the islands known as
the Oleani group were completely
devastated by typhoon. A tidal
wave that followed not only swept
over the land, but 1t practically bur
led the islands under blanket OF
sand from the oceans bed. This wave
rendered 1900 homeless and $50 men,
women and children were drowned on
one island. Twenty-Five persons were
lost on another of the small islands.
The typhoon lasted three days. All
the trees and shrubbery were either
uprooted or buried in the sand. When
the tidal wave occurred and swept
over the land hundreds Of natives
were saved by swimming about until
the waters receded. The German au-
thorities sent steamer with supplies
and with these the natives expect to
subsist until they can produce their

STICKS TO ORIGINAL STORY
Orchard Avoids Contradictions
on CrOss-Examinati0n.

Boise, Ida, June 1O.-Harry Or
chard, chief witness for the state
against William d. Haywood, contfn.
ues under cross-examination, which
along the line of his main recital, has
been carried through the first attempt
on the life of former Governor Pea
body Of Colorado and the killing OF
Detective Gregory at Denver.
Attorney Richardson, for the de
fense, led the witness through every
detail of both crimes, seeking to In
volve the story Of the witness In
doubt. Some discrepancies were de
veloped. but In the main the witness
adhered stoutly TO his original testi
mony and warily avoided serious con
tradictions. He was calm and col
lected and on several occasions Of
fered to correct counsel for the de-
fense
The defense, efter leaving the Greg
ory matter, digressed for moment
to lay the foundation for showing
that Simpkins, because he was In the
Idaho "bullpen," and Orchard. because
he was driven out of Idaho and forced
to sell his interest in the Hercules
mine, which later became very valu-
able, had deep seated private grudge
against Steunenberg.
At several points the defense laid
the foundation for the controversion OF
Orchards testimony when its side Is
reached.
During his examination Orchard Gre
ated something of sensation by add
ing the crime of arson to his long list
Of misdeeds. He and Johnny Neville
he said, burned Neville's saloon neal
the Independence depot at Cripple
Creek, collected the insurance money
and divided it.

DENVER, Colo, Feb. 4.-If old Bill
Shakespeare hadn't put so many cava-
liers and courtiers wearing tights in
his Merchant of Venice" the eager
Denver public would enjoy the rare
treat of witnessing the great produc-
tion by the Woman's club. But, alas!
the public hopes have been shattered
and the women with ambitions to dis
play their talents in Shakespearean
roles have given up the idea. There
will be no Merchant of Venice"
And the wicked old tights are to
blame. The enthusiasm at the club
was at fever heat when the crushing
blow descended. The matronly mem
bers of the club were told that all
who took the masculine parts in the
play would have to wear the garb of
the times when Shylock was doing the
Rockefeller act. 1t took their breath
away, and a storm of mays" made the
daring manager and trainer seek safe

liers make love to fair Portia while
they wore the skirts of a twentieth
century American woman" pleaded

logic to the women, who had feminine
parts lh the great drama, but the pink

CAMBRIDGE, Feb. 4.-Equipped for
a three-year stay in the widest part of
South America, DR.. w. C. Farabee, a
Harvard ethnologist, his wife and
two assistants, l.. j. Demilhan and j.
w. Hastings, have left Cambridge row
on the most important archaeological
expedition that has ever been sent out
from Harvard.
The explorers will make excavations
in the valleys and mountains In the un-
inhabited regions about the sources Of
the Amazon river in order to learn the
history of a long extinct race of In
dams.
Ethnologists have long desired to
know Of the life and civilization of these
people, who were a branch of the ia ce
which the Spanish conquerors Of Peru
found when they penetrated that mys-
terious land.
A large force of native laborers will
be provided Dr. Farabee by the Inca
Mining company to do the required ex-
cavating.
The party left New York for Panama.
From there they will be carried across
the mountains and make their head e
quarters in the village of Arequippa, in

INITIATING AMERICAN SHOES
Special Consular Agent Says French
Are Copying Styles from
This Country
Special to The Herald


WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Special
Consular Agent Arthur b. Butman
finds French shoe manufacturers imi-
tating the American product. Mr., But
man reports that while in conversation
with the superintendent of shoe fac
tory, a workman handed the superin-
tendent a shoe and piece of sole
leather which had been stained and
polished to resemble the shoe The shoe
was the product of we'll known Ameri-
can manufacturer of high grade foot
wear.
It was being initiated in every detail
In this factory the special agent found
many shoes of American designs as we'll
as Of French style.
The importation of boots and shoes 20
France from the United states in 1904
amounted to 1853, in 1905 to $64, 1928
and in 1906 to $l26, ,239. The decrease IN
1908 is attributed to an increase that
year i'm exports from England.
Mr.. Butman says he does not believe
there is any American product that
could be more successfully or profitably
placed in foreign markets than the
American shoe.
