DEFENSE
Especial to The sentinel.)

Washington, Apr 30.-An extern
sive system of maneuvers, in which
destroyers, torpedo boats, submar-
ines and other craft will take part,
will be held during the coming
month by the navy department The
object is to perfect system of mo-
bile defense for the Atlantic sea-
board.
There will be between forty and
fifty fighting craft in command of
Commander Marsh Practically all
of the 33 torpedo boats available will
be launched, with 6 or submarines
and destroyers. Three submarines
of the Viper class will be available,
out counting the Octopus and the old
Holland.
The feature of the mobilization
will be the demonstration of the val
ue of the submarines for coast de-
fense purposes. The navy depart
ment contemplates materially in
creasing the utility of the submarine
by providing each fiotilla with what
is termed mother ship" The gun
boat Castine, of LILY tons, will be
used as mother ship" The great
advantage of the mother ship will
be the movable base which il will
provide the submarines, thereby in
creasing their radius of action in a
very large degree.
Aside from the practical demon
stration of this new idea, the sub
marines will go through experiments
in diving, in avoiding seagoing craft
and in approaching and fleeing from
the enemy.
The mobilization OF the destroyers
and the torpedo bats will be as COM
plete as that of the submarines and
will take place at the same time.

EYE STRAIN.

Eye strain is much more common
than even physicians suppose. Many
patients are in the hands of practi-
toners of medicine for nervous
ness" 'migraine.'' indigestion" and
general breakdown. who never sus-
pect that these symptoms are reflex
manifestations of eye strain.
Persons troubled with these symp-

One of the most spectacular and
exciting runaw ways that has occurred
in a long time happened one day
last week at DeBeque when freight
ers team from the Plateau valley
that was standing beside a freight
car became frightened and started
straight down the railroad track.
They ran straight across n 200-foot
open trestle without ever missing a
single footing. This trestle is at
least a hundred feet high in the cen
ter, and it is not likely that any
horse could be led over it with the
greatest care without missing its
footing, yet these horses blindly run
hing crossed in safety and ran on up
the track to the watchman's cabin
around the hill. where they werc
stopped and held with difficulty un-
til their driver arrived. Mesa Coun-

,aY LADY'S LID.
(New York World.)

(New York World)
Ny scat,
Where did she get that hat?
Who ever did
Invent a ladys lid
Like that?
Who had the nerve to roll it out
And stretch it more and more,
From centerpiece to rim. until
1t spreads from shore to shore.
And likewise lifts its summit up,
On birds and other wings,
Above the earth until it scrapes
The clouds and other things?
Who added to its wondrous width
OF brim, so that the space
Could accommodate
An automobile race?
Say, who done that?
Who built her hat?
Who made it something never seen
On earth or in the sky,
flat of wide extended plain,
mountain towering high?
Cut wider doors for her TO get
Inside of any place,
And put the ceilings on the roof e.
To give her nodding space,
Push up the clouds to let her stand
Erect upon the ground
And above the wide horizon back
To let her turn around.
oh, weirdly, watching, WOODY hat
That flattens out and towers
Who ever saw thing like that
A pancake filled with flowers?
A hat agious-spreading? Yes,
That's named the Merry Wild;
And she who fails to catch it should
Slip out and change her lid,
Gee whiz,
What wonder woman is,
And my scat!
Where DID she get that hat?

PRICE OF DIAMONDS
WILL NOT BE
CUT DOWN
(s2ecial to The Sentinel. }

New York. Apr. 25.-Louis Abra-
hams, president of the great diamond
syndicate of international fame,
which controls SO per cent of the
diamond output of the world. says
that there is to be no shrinkage i'm
the price of diamonds despite the
fact that there is now marked de-
crease in the demand for the precious
stones.
Mr.. Abraham is making his first
visit to America, having arrived re-
Gently from his home I'm London.
|. 'It is true said Mr.. Abrahams,
that since the beginning OF the re-
cent period of financial stringency in
America. the demand for diamonds
has been materially reduced. With
in the last two or three years. more
especially in 1905 and 1906, the de-
mand for diamonds had increased in
America by a large per cent. 1t was
an easy market, too, for Americans
were buying diamonds freely.
But the recent American crisis
in finance has now altered things ma
terially. From having been the larg-
est of consumers, you Americans are
now buying practically no diamonds
at all. In consequence of these con-
ditions, the mines within the last
two or three months have been de
creasing their output more than one
half
I'm my opinion it will not long be
necessary to restrict the normal out
put of the mines. | believe the per-
iod of financial depression is not des-
tined to be of long duration in Amer
lea or anywhere else, and that with
in comparatively brief time bust
ness will resume its natural equilib-
rum and America will move on its
destined career of prosperity"

MastodOn Carcass Unearthed After

Mastodon Carcass Unearthed After
Centuries and Dogs Eat Flesh.
The following highly colored narra-
tiye of the finding of mastodon ap-
peared in the La Grande Observer:
John Froling has just returned to
his home in this city after an absence
of nearly seven years in Alaska and
the Yukon territory. During his alb
sence Mr.. Froling travelled over the
mountains and followed the river and
creeks valley of the far north for
years on end in a fevered search for
the yellow metal.
Mr.. Frollng brings the facts of the
finding of the remains Of masto-
don in an almost complete state Of
preservation. The body of the man.
moth was found 40 feet below the
surface, Mr.. Froling says, seven
miles up Woodchopper creek, a small
stream that flows into the Yukon 40
or so miles above Circle City.
Several miners there had staked
out claims and were going through
the frosty earth In an effort to strike
pay dirt. They were operating a
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-01-14

steam plant, running down points,
and were one day surprised by no.
ticlng a peculiar odor of burning
flesh from the excavation.
Upon investigating they found that
they were Immediately upon the car
cass of some immense animal, which
the almost redhot steam was rapidly
decaying after 1t had lain in the froz-
en- clasp Of its earthly bed for untold
years.
BY great effort they got the car
cass out of the earth, the task prov
ing most disagreeable one, owing
to the fetid odors arising from It,
Much of the meat was still in a good
state of preservation, and was eaten
by the dogs and wild animals that
came about the camp at night. The
bones of the mammoth were all in
tact, and the last Mr.. Froling heard
arrangements were being made to
preserve the skeleton.
In his long travels over the Yukon
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-01-14

country Mr.. Froling found many
spots where the bones of the masto-
don were numerous, everything
pointing to time when some sud-
den cataclysm had brought unexpect-
ed death upon all the animal life.
He says these spots where the masto-
don bones are found so plentifully
are invariably sheltered valleys
where the animals undoubtedly con-
gregated in their extremities to shell
ter themselves from the hardships OF
the weather.

and against 1t there stands the deter

river which are prejudiciously affected.
The court also gives leave for the in
PREVENTION of all railroads which are
affected by the order of the commits
sion. This will let the roads east OF
Chicago into the case after they had
been dismissed out of it by the com
mission.
The decision Of the court results in

that they ultimately will defeat the
commission and thereby prevent a
complete revolution in rate-making
and complete readjustment Of rates

ties. which would cost the railroads
an annual loss of millions in revenue.
officials EvInoe Surprise.
Considerable surprise was expressed
by officials of the interstate commerce
commission at Washington on receipt
OF the information that the United
States circuit court at Chicago had
granted even temporary injunction
In what Is known as the Missouri
rate case.
The complaint from which the order
of the commission originated devel-
oped into one Of the most important
cases with which the commission hns
had to deal within the past year It
was brought by the Burnhan, Hanna
& Munger Dry Goods company and
many similar concerns in Kansas City
against the Chicago, Rock Island and
Pacific Railway company and prac-
tically all Of the railways doing bust
ness between Atlantic seaboard points
and Kansas City.
In effect, the complaint was that the
rates on class commodities between
Atlantic seaboard points and Kansas
City were too high and that they dis
eliminated against Kansas City as
compared with many other points in
the west and northwest.
1t was developed by the commits
sion's inquiry that no through rates
existed between Atlantic seaboard
points and Kansas City on class com,
modities, but that the rates paid by
Kansas City merchants were the
through rates from Atlantic ports 70
Mississippi river crossings, plus the
sum of the local rates ff"om Mississippi
river crossings to Kansas City and
nearby points.
The order for reduction Of 9 cents
per hundred pounds the commission
considered to be entirely just to the
transportation lines, inasmuch as the
rates on the same classes of freight
shipped from Atlantic seaboard points
through Mississippi river crossings 10
Minneapolis and other northwestern
points were even lower than those
fixed by the commission to Kansas
City points.
In the final adjudication of the case
the commission will endeavor to dem
onstrate that it's position as stated In
it's order was entirely fair and just to
the railways.
