Sites Herald: C. P. Agee of
Kooskia was in town the last of
the week in the interest of the
new bridge which has been pro-
posed for the middle fork of the
Clearwater. The new structure
will be located at Kooskia and
will be a source Of great conven-
fence and advantage to all who
have occasion to cross the river
at that point. Sites citizens
have taken a substantial interest
in the proposition and will aid in
securing the structure. "A ball

The machine if put upon the
stubborn rock in the canyon of
the north fork of Feather river,
through which the Western Pa
cific railroad was making a path,
might reduce the time of compile
ftion of that work by a year or
more.
Long ago, in the seventies, Won
Smidtz, the great California en-
gineer, surveyed a route over the
Sierras, and reported to the old
G. P. R. R. company that by a
tunnel eight miles long the COM
pany could reduce the altitude at
the summit some 1900 feet and
do away with the snow sheds.
But eight miles! It seemed ap-
palling. But with two of these
machines the tunnel could be cut
in less than one year.
It sinks shafts as well as runs
tunnels. 1t means a revolution
in mining and what, as Mr.. Belle
cher of the Utah company says:
Il will before a year swamp all
the furnaces in Utah. with ore,"
does not seem improbable, for
running small tunnels $50 feet
per day can be run. It is a
marvel in mining. The company
which has the invention in Utah,
includes some Of the strong men
of Utah. Such men as Mr..
George T. Odel and Mr.. NJ HI.
Walker and others are stockhold-
ers, and already ten miles Of tun-
mel is waiting the needed mach
inery, ten miles in Utah alone,
and this may be considered as
merely preliminary work.
! We do not see why railroads
can not hereafter be run in
straight lines. 4
We believe it is the most splen-
did industrial achievement ever
seen in a mining country.

The Australian war boomerang Gig.

heavy as the returning one, has no
twists and is rounded on both sides.
1t does not return to the thrower.
This weapon will travel, Swimming
low over the ground, to a range of
from $50 yards to $50 yards, and the
blow it gives a tree trunk at 100 yards
is as if the latter were violently
struck with a blunt and heavy sword.
AS an instrument of savage warfare
1t would have a terrible effect on a
scantily-clad opponent.
Though the returning boomerang
Gig. u was chiefly employed by ma.
tives for killing, as food, birds flying,
in small numbers or in flocks, it was
also constantly used as an amusing
plaything, Just as a sling for pebbles
or a bow and arrow might be carried
by a ~schoolboy. All the best Austria
liam boomerangs are closely notched
on both surfaces.
The Australian gave his boomerang
this rough surface so that it might

BOOMERANG MAKING
THE AUSTRALIAN NATIVES ARE
EXPERTS AT 1T.
The Returning Boomerang Differs
Widely From Those Used In
Warfare-HoW They Should
Be Thrown.

The boomerang is a weird and err
ratio form Of missile. and though l
have about so, and have
practised with them for many years,
have not one that, it may be said,
closely resembles another in its be-
havior. 1t is impossible to reproduce
with even approximate accuracy a
good returning Australian boomerang,
owing to the numerous twists and in
dentations contained in its outlines.
These curious twists and hollows rep
resent the experience Of generations
of native boomerang artists.
There are two distinct kinds of Aus
tralian boomerang-the one used in
warfare and the returning one. AS
the latter is always more or less fiat
on one side it may be easily dis
tinguished. 1t will be noticed how
slight is its curve Gig. -. If, how
ever, we make one exactly similar as
regards its size and curve it will make
no attempt to return when thrown.

HAYWOOD'S RETURN.
Thousands Turn Out to Welcome Him
to Denver.

Denver, Aug. 5.-Celebration of the re-
turn home of William D. Haywood, sec
retary-treasurer of the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners, who was acquitted at
Boise, Idaho, of the charge of conspiracy
to murder former Governor Steunenberg,
was considerably curtailed last night by
reason of the lateness of the hour at
which he arrived. Plans for a great
gathering of people at the union station
to be followed by a monster open air
meeting we're abandoned when it be-
came known that Mr.. Haywood had
postponed his departure from Salt Lake
day owing to the condition of John H.
Murphy, general counsel to the fedora
ton, who was reported dying. Instead,
a committee of 100 labor unionists, repre-
senting practically all the labor organic
atoms of the city, was selected to well
come Haywood in the name of the
unions and on next Thursday a general
meeting of labor unions will be held to
formulate plans for a meeting in the
future at which Mr. Haywood will be
given a great reception and at which
he will be the principal speaker. All
this depends, however, upon whether or
not Haywood wants such demonstra-
ton and he has not as yet definitely in
Dictated his willingness to be so honored.
Several thousands persons gathered
outside the main entrance to union sta
ton while within the gates leading into
the platform were a hundred or more,
including newspaper men and employ
ers. AS the Denver and Rio Grande
train bearing the Haywood party rolled
in to the depot at 10:45 o'clock, five min
utes behind the schedule, those inside
the gates quietly walked toward the
train and along the side of the cars
until the one occupied by Haywood and
his friends was reached. Haywood could
plainly be seen through the car windows
but no cheering was INDUCED in until
after the news became circulated that
Murphy was in as good condition as
could be hoped for and then the priv
ileged few on the depot platform began
to move restlessly toward the steps of
the car occupied by Haywood. A num-
Der who personally knew Haywood en-
tered the car and were cordially well
coined by him.. Hershook hands with all
newspaper men, many of whom he
recognized as old acquaintance. Across
the aisle from the seat in which Hay
wood was sitting lay his invalid wife.
Immediately next tn Haywood in a sec
ton with curtains drawn was Attorney
Murphy reclining upon a bed softened
by pillows. AS the people began to
move through the car to greet Haywood
Murphy drew back the curtains of his
berth and with careworn expression
gazed intently at the little group gath
cred in the aisle of the car. Soon some
one recognized Murphy and called hin,
by name. Immediately he was the cen
ter of interest as we'll as Haywood and
the cordialfty with which the crowd adj
dressed him seemed to give him much
satisfaction.
