cAINEoz KITES ARE WONDERS.
One Ingenious Cevice Was Maae to
Represent Huge Centifcd.

Probably the most wonderful and
ingenious achievement of a Chinese
kitemaxer is designed to represent a
gigantic centiped, says writer in the
World To-day This is unqucstionably
the longest ana most fantastic amuse-
ment device that has ever been con-
structed for aerial flight. From head
to tail it measures nearly 40 feet, and
is made to fold up accordionlike. The
fierce large head of the creature, with
long protruding horns, huge eyes and
gaping mouth, forms the front OF the
kite. This is the gem and marvel oil
the whole collection and entirely new
to the eyes of the western world.
It's construction is as follows: EX'
tending from head to tail and consti-
tuting the body portion are series OF
bamboo sticks running crossWise TO
the center, to which are fastened "a
or more pasteboard disks foot OF
more in diameter. These are painted
in circles of black, yellow and white
representing the allseeing eyes of this
NEUROLOGICAL creature. A tail portion
of narrow strips Is fastened to the
last piece of bamboo By mechanical
contrivance the curved pieces of paste
board forming the eyes are made to
revolve by the wind while the kite IL
being flown. Seen in the air, the ser
pentinolike motion, its huge glaring
eyes swiftly twirling in their sockets
the effect is said to be astonishingly
realistic, producing quite an awe-in
spring scene, to the Chinese mind a.
least. While being flown cord is at
tached to three or more points OF Its
length, in order to keep it under con
troll. In strong wind, several mer
are required to hold the reel. I'm
doubtedly we have here one Of the
first and most ancient patterns OF fly
ing machines, thousands of years old.

self and run it in connection with
the crematory.
There is now pending in the city
council an ordinance proposed by
Coun Gilman N. 8. Pratt which pro
vides for a crematory department
to conduct the operation of the Gre
matory, street cleaning and carting
of garbage. For some unaccOunt-
able reason the council allows it
to remain in the committee of the
whole despite the fact that the
health board has demanded some
disposition of it and advocates its
adoption from a sanitary stand
point. The action of the garbage
men should force the issue.
Regarding the ability Of the city
to take over and conduct the gar
bage business Commissioner j. T.
O'Brien this morning was asked
about the cost of the undertaking
and furnished the following
figures:
Ten teams and drivers would
cost $3.50 day and the assistants
$2.75 day, which would make a
total of $S3.75 a day. Men could
be secured easily enough. l am in
favor of the city doing the work,
and so are other members of the
board of works."
Garbage men now are collecting
about 5000 worth of garbage a day
at the rates they charge. Were
the city to take over the business
charge of about 10 and 20 cents
can would be enough to make the
business self-supporitng.
The action of the garbage men,
should they persist in carrying it
through, will result in the city
carting off the garbage, ordinance
or no ordinance, for the preserva-
ton of the public health. Health
Officer Grieve advocates this and
will instruct his inspectors to re-
port any filth found around build
ings.

MURDERED
BY BOMB

BAKER CITY, Ore, Oct. 1.-Ex-
Sheriff Harry Brown, one time a
candidate for the nomination for
governor on the republican ticket
of Oregon, and private detective
in the Steunenberg and Steve
Adams cases, was fatally injured
last night by the explosion Of a
bomb attached to his front gate.
His left arm and leg were blown
to bits and his face terribly burned.
1t was discovered this morning
that two men are involved in the
assassination. They stood at the
rear of Browns cottage and held
one end of a long telephone wire
which was weighted down near the
gate with pair of brass knuckles.
The force of the explosion broke
windows in house for 100 yards.
The men are supposed to be hid
ing in the mountains. Sheriff Rand
and local police are handling the
case.
Chief of Police Jackson this aft
ernoon sent to Spokane for blood
hounds to track the assassins. The
police believe that the men who
exploded the bomb were after
Brown for his connection with the
Steve Adams case.
Brown regained consciousness,
but is unable to talk. No hope for
his recovery Is entertained.

SCAVENGERS' MONOPOLY
THREATENS PUBLIC HEALTH
Will Leave Garbage to Rot If City
Enforces New Rates.

"If the city persists in enforcing
the ton charge against the scaven-
gers, garbage will not be hauled,
but allowed to collect around town
until people are we'll sick of it and
the old charge of rs cents load
Is again put in effect"
Such, in substance, is a declara-
ton made to the board of public
works by garbage men who object
to proposed increase in the price
for burning garbage and refuse at
the crematory. Ever since the
plant was first built it has been
run at loss until last year it
cost $4,000 tot operate. While
garbage men secure rs and so
cents can for carting off refuse
the city has been charging only %
cents a load for burning 1t. In
most cases load is from three to
five tons. The capacity of the
crematory is only 40 tons daily, but
this has been exceeded right along
until the plant was forced to close
several hours Saturday on account
Of overcrOwding.
Last week the board of works
decided to reduce the operating
expense by charging more for de-
stroying garbage and refuse. A
reasonable charge of 81 ton was
decided upon. Since the board S
decision the scales at the plant,
which have not been used for two
years, were fixed up and the charge
put into effect But the garbage
monopoly. controlled by the City
Garbage Co., objects and proposes
to force people to suffer and to in.
jure the good health of the COM
munity by leaving garbage until
the old charges are again in eff
feet.
This action only emphasizes the
fact that the only way to handle
the garbage at a reasonable cost
to people, and promptly, is for the
city to take over the business it.
