Shipping CoOps.

For shipping live poultry to market
the following sizes of cOops are most
generally used in the West: Coops
should be IS inches long, 80 inches
wide, II inches high for chickens
and ducks, and 10 inches high
for turkeys and geese. Use lumber
as follows: Two by two for cor
ner posts, or Ike will answer. If you
cannot get them. get 1X4 and rip them
in two. Cut six pieces so inches long
each coop. Nail the short pieces one at
each end and one in the center of the
long ones. using ten-penny wrought
nails. Make three of these frames. ono
for each end and center. For the bot
tom use half-inch boards or lath make
the bottom tight, using SiXpenny nails.
Use 12X2-inch strips Of lath for sides,
ends and top, put them IL inches
apart; the width of lath is about right.
Leave two lathS loose on top in center.
or make Il door of them to open. in
order to put poultry in and take it out.
Now nail Il lath around the coOpS, each
end and the center, outside. the three
frames made first. This will keep the

coops stronger. For broilers the GOODS

Race Question "Local IssueP"

There seems to be no ground for rea-
sonable doubt that the Democratic
campaign managers In the West, in the
effort to secure negro support for their
national ticket, are acting upon the
principle that the race question is only
a local issue" Ii Is evident that the
South does not approve this plan Of
campaign, but is powerless TO check 1t.
The Democracy of the South Is In full
accord with the position taken by the
West Virginia Democrats last week.
And yet ii is assumed by those who
are trying to get negroes to support
Mr.. Bryan that the South will act In
hearty cooperation with the Ohio, Ne
braska, Kansas and Illinois Democrats,
who are welcoming the negro into free
fellowship in the Democratic party
and probably promising TO annul the
decision of President Roosevelt in the
brownsville matter. The theory of
Western Democrats that the, race prob
lem is merely a local issue Is calcu-
lated to give the South much concern.
Many Democrats IN that section may
question whether it Is worth while to
elect a Democratic president who may
open wide the door of political oppor-
tunity to the negro.

The greatest play Of the decade will be
given at Powers theatre, Grand Rapids
with an all star cast. Fair week, beginning
Sunday, Sept 3, with Wednesday anc
Saturday matnees.

given with three star cast composed 81
Charles Dalton. Effie Shannon and Herb
ert Kelcey These will be supported by
such we'll known players as Arthur Law
renee, Leonard Ide, Cecil Owen and Edith
Blair
The story Of the play concerns itself
with the love Of young man for mar
ried woman. She is in love with her
husband and plairly tells the youth that
his passion is futile and that he must not
occupy himself with any silly sentimental
notions about her. he. however, disre-
CARDS her plea for sensible behavior on
his part and follows her about with love
letters
The Thief IS the play Of plays and
has been translated into every civilized
language and is now being performed up
on every civilized stage. 1t is play that
every wife should see and that every
husband should see. 1t is a lesson in love
and domestic economy that 70 one can
afford to slight 1t grips the feelings like
nothing has done in years. 1t is not a
play Of the senses but a play Of the emo
tons and these it arouses to the highest
pitch.
Seats may be ordered by mail. Prices
range from rs cents to ST so. In view
Of the prevailing financial depression these
moderate prices were secured as special
concession by the Powers management.

declares that the unfair attacks Of Mr..
Gompers will have little or no effect III
alternating from him the labor world.
1t says: THAT Secretary Taft is a true
friend of labor is certain, and all the
untrue. ungenerous, vicious attacks
that President Gompers or any one else
may make on him cannot prevent him
from continuing to be the friend Of the
wage worker. Organized labor cannot
afford to have Itself split up into fac
tions on this political issue That Pres
ident Gompers Is wrong in forcing this
most ominous fight is certain, and in

come to this conclusion"

EUGENE, Or, June lS.-An ex.

None injured. Those who were in
the house at the time are Mrs. Z.

dren, her brother, w. S, Buchan-
an, and Elders c. L. Dumford and
c. A. Williams. The deed did not
appear to have been done with the
intent of physically injuring the in
mates of the house, but in order to
drive them away from Eugene. This
is judged from the following which
was found pasted on the building:
This is warning to your tribe.
You have tormented the public
enough. Move on. The next shot
will do more. We mean the Mormon
tribe" No arrests were made.

WOOD PAVING.

The first attempts to pave streets
with wood, quarters OF a CEN
tury ago, were failures, and for years
after that no satisfactory progress
was made, The blocks were round,
which left large, unequal spaces be-
tween them. Their edges broke down
and wore off, the wood rotted, and
the pavement was soon uneven and
rough, and therefore difficult to clean
and insanitary. At the present time,
through the selection OF suitable
woods, cutting the blocks into rectan-
gular shape so that their edges may
lie close together, and treating them
chemically to increase their durability,
wood pavement is better in many
respects than any other in common
use. 1t is smooth, quiet, resilient,
easily cleaned, and easily repaired.
In wearing qualities it is superior to
macadam, brick, or asphalt and in
ferior only to granite and sandstone.
In sanitary qualities it exceeds all but
asphalt No road surface is easier to
draw load upon, or, as it is put in
technical language, none offers a
lower Traction resistance" and none
is easier to keep clean. Creosoted
wood pavement stands above the
average in smoothness, freedom from
dust, mud, noise, reflection of light,
radiation Of heat, and ease of main
tenance.
The first cost Of creosoted wood is
greater than the that of macadam,
brick or asphalt, but not so great as
granite or sandstone On the other
hand, it must be remembered, it ex-
ceeds any of the first group in wear
ing qualities. Too much weight is
sometimes attached to the initial cost
of creosoted wood and too little to its
cOuntcrbalancing durability, which is
equally important in calculating in
vestment returns. 1T costs from $240l
to $3.50 per square and laid as com
pared with an average Of $3.50 for
$3.26 for granite, $3.50 for
asphale, $206 for brick, and 5000 for
in number of cities in
which study has been made.
Cedar has been extensively laid in
the Middle West, and oak, cypress, |
white pine, hemlock, western red
cedar cottonwood, mesquite, Usage
orange, redwood, Douglas fir, and
in various cities Of the
country. Untrcatcd American red
gum, tried in England, raised great
hopes, but it finally proved unsatis-
factory. Pavement Of Australian eu-
calyptus has lasted for from fifteen to
twenty years in the streets of London.
1t is more slippery, however, than
American woods, and its cost, about
s. per square yard in the United
States, is prohibitive.
In recent years the difficulties
which attended the use Of wood pave
nent have been largely overcome by
'etter methods of handling, treating,
md laying the blocks. Creosote is the
'est Of the preservatives in common
lse for wood pavement. Since it is
in water, it does not leach
,ut, and if sufficient amount is in
ected into the blocks it prevents the
ntrance Of water, which weakens the J

pavement.
The blocks should be rectangular in
shape. For heavy traffic their depth
should be not less than 4 inches. The
usual width is 3 or 4 inches, and the
best length from 6 to 10 inches. They
should be laid with the grain vertical,
on a concrete foundation having a
thin surface cushion of sand or other
material

Endowed Theaters.

Mr.. Granville Barker, the English
Actor-manager, who is likely to be the
director Of the endowed theater In
New York. says that IF plays were
Judged simply for their value as dra-
matte literature, and were performed
without the idea of pleasing the rsulti-
tude or Of long run, the result would
be a wonderful improvement of the
drama" Just how he makes this out
Is not clear. Plays that experienced
managers think will not please, the
majority of theater-goers can only be
produced In endowed theaters, and II
In the latter place they prove to have
popular qualities such fact will help
to encourage more high-class produc-
tons perhaps. But II they please only
the select few the average writer Of
plays will prefer to study the tastes of
the general public and produce work
accordingly. Critics, says the Indian
apolis Star, often recommend books to
the public which the public stubbornly
refuses to read. 1t will reject as en-
phatically plays that 1t does not like,
even though the elect patrons of an
endowed theater pronounce them
good.
