H. c. Spencer was in town Mon.
day from his home near Denver
and renewed his subscription to the
CHRONICLE and also ordered the
paper sent for a year to his son, ].
B. Spencer, at Lodi, California.
Another light snow fell Sunday
and Monday after which the
weather turned colder and froze
the ground and roads enough to
make considerable improvement
over the soft condition of the past
couple weeks.
The CHRONICLE is indebted to
A. J. Payne for a nice thermome-
ter, the compliments of the Cotton
wood hotel, which we will place in
our "devils" domain to register
the temperature when things go
wrong on press day.
The CHRONICLE is indebted to
J. N. Modem for a complimentary
ticket to the ball given on New

Although unable to use the ticket
we feel grateful for the courtesy
shown us just the same.
A. A. Alvord and wife left
Tuesday for Nezperce where, we
understand, they have accepted
positions in the schools of that
town. Mr.. Alvord was principal
of the local public school and
threw up his position because the
school board refused to hire his
wife as an assistant. M. M. Bel

will fill his place for the present
and may decide to complete the
term. He held the position as
principal the term before Mr..

The dance given Monday night
in the Odd Fellow hall by J. N.
Modem and his amateur band was
well attended, considering the
state of the roads and weather, and
some 46 numbers were sold. The
crowd was just large enough to fill
the hall comfortably and everyone
had a most enjoyable time. The
music furnished by the band and
Foley's orchestra was fine and
dancing continued until about 4

TEXAS TOWNS WIPED OUT
Tornado Kills Nine People and
Does Immense Damage.

Mount Pleasant, Tex, May s.
Heavy damage and loss Of life was
wrought by a tornado which swept
North Texas. The towns Of Ridge
way and Birthright, forty miles west
of here, are reported practically de.
stroyed. All Geographic and tele-
phoric communication is suspended

itants, is reported to have been com.
pletely destroyed. Great damage is
reported at Caney, negro settlement,
and loss of life may have occurred
there.
The tornado appeared in the south
west and moved to the northeast at a
terrific rate of speed, demolishing al
most everything in it's path. Houses
were RACED to the ground and many
people sought the shelter of storm
cellars.

Mayor Haines has decided that it will
be better to issue and enforce a strict
order covering the matter.
The city continues entirely quiet
and there is not the slightest indica-
ton of possible disorder. The 'occa-
sional crank is the man feared rather
than any concerted or suddenly
aroused general movement. Police
and detectives watch the railroads and
highways entering the city and it is
the general belief tina q ay will be
able at all times to fully control the
situation. Behind them is an expert.
enced militia company and two troops
of United States cavalry, quartered at
a permanent post within the city linn
it's, but there is not the slightest ap.
prehension that their. services will be
required, nor has the military been
instructed to hold themselves in readi
ness. In fact, the governor, the mayor
and the people of Boise decline to be.
lieve that under any circumstances
the peace will be broken.
The city is rapidly filing up. Wit
nesses are arriving, many Of them
from a long distance Many Of the
newspaper men and magazine writers
have engaged houses or flats for sew
eral months, in the opinion that it will
take three months to try the case.

The Oldest Book.

The oldest book in the world to
which positive date can be assigned
is an assortment of proverbs some
what after the style of the proverbs
collected by Solomon. The work is &C
credited to Ptah-hotep, an Egyptian
king, and Psychologists assign to it an
antiquity Of at least 300 B: G. Abra-
ham was called to leave his home in
Ur of the Chaldees 1921 3. c., so that
this volume was written LOO years
before the beginning Of Jewish histo-
ry. The deluge is placed by most chro
nologists at B. G.. 234S, so the book, if
its dating is correct, must have been
written before the flood. Methuselah
was born B. G.. 1917, so that this papy
rus was prepared and these proverbs
were collected when the oldest man Oh
record was lively young fellow Of
300 years.

BECOMING MORE SERIOUS.
Longshoremen's Strike Threatens to
Further Extend.


Further Extend.
New York, May 8.-The longshore-
mems strike, which has unexpectedly
extended from Manhattan and Brook
Ign to Hobo]1en, N. j., and is directed
already against the largest transat-
lantic lines, may soon become a very
serious matter. The strikers say that
they are organized as the Lopgshore-
mems Protective association and that
If their demands are not complied
with by the steamship companies in
volved the strike will spread and it
will take in all the piers on the New
York and New Jersey water fronts.
The strikers say that they are con-
stantly gaining recruits. Their pres
ent number is placed at from 1000 to
1000.
On the Manhattan side strike is
in progress against the American, Red
Star, White Star and French lines and
the Cunard line is threatened with
one. In Hoboken the strike takes in
the North German Lloyd, Holland
American, Observation-Disclosures and
Phoenix lines, which are practically
all the lines on the New Jersey side
of the North river In Brooklyn,
where the strike began some days
ago, the Mallory and Ward lines are
hampered by it, as are number of
other lines and big firms, including the
New York Dock company and the
Bush company.

HOPES FOR BETTER TREATY
American M0dus vivendi Taken
Up in German Reichstag.

Berlin, May S.-The reichstag has
passed the first reading of the COM
mercial modus vivendi between the
United States and Germany and re-
ferred the agreement to committee.
After re-electing Herr Kaempf as
second vice president the house took
up the modus vivendi. Vice Chancel-
lor Count Won osadowsky- Wehner ex-
pressed apprehension that the agree
ment at many points did not fulfill the
hopes entertained by the members. It's
essential features were almost exclu-
sively administrative provisions made
by the United States, which, if car
ried out in the spirit of the arrange
ment made between the United States
and Germany, would permit of the
hope that many of the difficulties
complained of by the German export
ers would be moderated or removed.
The federated governments regarded
the modus vivendi as being only tho
first step toward reaching an under
standing with the United States upon
much broader basis. American du-
ties. when compared with the German,
were extraordinarily high and in many
classes of goods wholly exclude i'm
ports. Therefore Germany hoped that
further negotiations would be a more
just recognition of. her claim. The
United States should remember that
Germany was among it's best custom
ers.
Karl Herold, Clerical, expressed the
support of his party for the agreement
upon the decomposition that a formal
commercial treaty would be laid be-
fore the house upon it's termination.

Fail to Secure Any Booty.
TWO MEN ENGAGE IN HOLDUP

ance and Is Shot Down-Posse and
Bloodhounds on the Trail.

Butte, Mont, May 9.-The North
Coast limited, eastbound, On the
Northern Pacific railway, was held up
by two masked men near Welchs
Spur, siding eighteen miles east of
Butte, at Is a. m. En- sineer James
Glow was shot and killed and Fire
man James Sullivan was shot through
the arm. Without making an attempt
to blow the express car, as was evi-
IDENTIFY intended, the robbers jumped
from the engine and ran down the
mountainside, disappearing in a gulch
several hundred yards from the track.
Sheriff Henderson of Butte was mott
fed and with a posse left on train
for the scene Of the holdup. Sheriff
Webb of Yellowstone county was on
the train and with one of the train
crew started on the trail of the holdup
men fifty minutes after the shooting.
He trailed the men half mile and,
after picking up their masks, lost all
trace of the bandits.
On the tender of the locomotive was
found telescope grip full Of giant
powder, evidently intended for use in
blowing up the express car. The men
boarded the train presumably at the
Butte Transfer, where locomotive
for the Montana division was attached.
One mile west of WEIGH the men
crawled over the tender and with
drawn guns commanded the engineer
to stop the train, which he did.
Makes a Show of Resistance.
Engineer Glow, however, made. a
show Of resistance and one of the rob-
bers fired, shooting him through the
body, killing him instantly. The
other man shot at Sullivan, breaking
his arm. When the train stopped Con-
ductor Culver and the train crew ran
to the engine, where they found a
colored man, who related the circum-
stances of the holdup. This man said
that he had been stealing ride and
that the men offered him third Of
the "booty' if he would assist them.
He said he had refused and hadetaken
no part in the holdup. He said he can
identify the robbers and is being held
for this purpose.
Engineer Glow lived at Livingston,
where he leaves widow and son. He
was fifty-five years old and had been
in the service of the Northern Pacific
eighteen years.
The Northern Pacific has sent spe-
cial trains from Deer Lodge to the
scene, carrying officers as we'll as
seven bloodhounds from the peniten-
tiary. Sheriff. Fenner of Deer Lodge
county was joined at WEIGH by men
from the Butte police department.,
with horses. At last accounts the dogs
had struck the trail and were follow
ing it.
The country where the holdup took
place is extremely. rough, being six
miles from the summit of the main
range of the Rocky, mountains. It Is
unsettled and the trail is not likely to
be crossed by other people on foot, SO
that the bloodhounds will have fair
chance to track the men. .

their secret we'll, with the result tha
the political curiosity was very kee1
to learn the details of the scheme
which is likely to create a prolonged
controversy.
At the outset Mr.. Birrell explained
that the object of the bill was to asso
ciate the sentiment of the Irish people
as whole with the administration
the statutes and the regulations which
directed the conduct of purely Irish
affairs. It did not contain any trace
of new executive power. 1t would not
authorize the levying of single taa

: Functions of Proposed Council.
control of the proposed Irish council
would be the local government board
the department of agriculture, the
congested districts board, the commits
sioners for public works and nationa
education, the inspectors of the refor
registrar general.
The supreme court, the judiciary
the Royal Irish constabulary, the Dub
lin metropolitan police, the land com
mission and the prisons board would
remain under the control of the i'm
perial authorities.
A representative administrative
council: consisting of eighty-two elect
ed and twenty-five nominated mem.
bers, would be established. The lat
ter would be nominated for the first
year by the king and thereafter by
the lord Lieutenant of Ireland. The
elected members would be elected on
a local government board franchise.
The under secretary for the lord
lieutenant of Ireland would be an ex-
offcio member of the council, which
would have complete control of the
powers vested in the departments to
be handed over to it's control.
Imperial Parliament Supreme.
The exercise Of the powers vested
In the departments would be con-
trolled by resolutions of the council
and the supremacy of the imperial
parliament would be safeguarded by
the power given to the lord lieuten-
ant of Ireland to refuse his consent to
any resolution of the council.
= A new educational department for
primary and secondary education is to
be established and will be placed I'M
der the control of the Irish council.
The council would be elected for q
term Of three years. For financial pur-
poses eight departments would be Gre
ated. A certain annual sum to be
fixed by parliament every five years
would be charged to the consolidated
fund and paid into a separate Irish
fund. A special Irish fund, to amount
to little over s20,0O0,000 yearly,
would be created. The religious dis.
ability would be removed from the
office Of lord lieutenant of Ireland.
The council would have the power
to appoint and remove officers from
the eight departments above men
toned
In conclusion the Irish secretary
said that if the new council proved
success it might pave the way for
home rule.

South American Oil Birds.

One Of the animal curiosities Of South
America is the coil Bird" or guacharo
1t breeds in rocky caves on the main

the island of Trinidad. 1t lays it's eggs
in a nest made Of mud, and the young
birds are prodigiously fat. The natives
melt the fat down in clay pots and pro.
duce from it a kind of butter. The
caves inhabited by the birds are usual
ly accessible only from the sea, and
the hunting of them is sometimes an
exciting sport.
