"DOG TAILERS" BUSY
IN THE FIELDS OF
HUCKLEBERRY STATES
Necessary to Clip Portion of CANNES
Appendage if Season in Delaware
and Maryland Is to Be
Successful

GEORGETOWN, Del, April 1S.-Thls
is dog failing time in the lower reaches
of Delaware, as well as over on the
eastern shore of Maryland, for due
and circumspect preparation must be
made for the huckleberry season.
Bob Ingersoll once said that God was
good to Delaware, and made oysters
without legs so the people of the little
state wouldn't starve. He might also
have said that there was divine good
ness to Delaware in the creation of the
luscious huckleberry. for in this part
of the state at least the berry Is OF
commanding Importance as an article
of local diet.
But dogs must be tailed if huckleber-
ries are to be gathered and eaten; 9TH
erWise the crop will fail. The tall, un-
gainlv. mournful-eyed "houn dawg'
abounds in lower Delaware; he is nee
essary to catch rabbits. But the hound
dog is by nature endowed with a long
tail, which he carries high. No other
dog has such a mischievous tail. A full
grown hound, careering through the
underbrush in the sandy lands of lower
Delaware will knock more ripe huckle-
berries off the bushes in five minutes
than a man could pick in day. NO
huckleberry is fit for anything until 1t
is dead ripe, and when it is dead ripe
the slightest jar will dislodge 1t from
the bush. A dogs tail, waving alUft,
will sweep them off by millions.
Therefore the "houn' dawg" of lower
Delaware is bob-tailed. The farmers
nip" the puppies every year about this
time. The operation is simplicity itself.
Pup is help aloft by his tail and razor
sunders him from the appendage. Pup
is deftly caught as he is falling and
promptly stern-ended into a little pot
of hot pitch, and the wound is cured.

DESPONDENT, MAN

SLASHES THROAT TWICE WITH
RAZOR
Laborer Says He Has No Hope for

The weary dull and unpFofitable eX-
istence of a day laborer became monot-
onous to L. A. Neal, aged DO, and ne
decided to end his life yesterday morn
ing at his room, 337 East Fourth street,
by cutting his throat with a razor
Holding a small hand mirror before
him in order to make sure of infiictlng
a mortal wounC, he grasped the razor
and drew it across his throat. His
hand trembled and the blade did not
penetrate a sufficient depth He waited
a few minutes and again slashed his
throat and lay down on the bed, walt
ing for death to come. He bled pro-
fusely and began to groan.
An occupant of the adjoining room
heard the cries of Neal and rushed into
the room. An ambulance was sum-
moned and the wounded man taken to
the receiving hospital, where the sur
geons sewed up the gaping wounds in
Meals throat.

many opportunities and am fit for
nothing but day laborer. have moth

during the day. Then go to bed, get
up in the mornings, eat my scant break

my way of living for long time, and

st. Vincents Gothic altar, reaching
up to a star-decked dome, has lent it
self admirably to the elaborate dec
orative scheme, including Easter lilies
as well as other cut flowers.
The historic Plaza church has been
decorated in a fashion dear to the
Spanish heart, quantities of flowers
having been employed in tasteful ar
rangement about the altars and pulpit.
st. Joseph's church has also used the
Easter lilies in it's decorations; the
Holy Cross church has been decorated
almost to the ceiling with banks OF
snowy blossoms, while Our Lady of
Loretto, st. Mary's, the Sacred Heart.
St. Thomas the. Apostle and other
churches are equally elaborate in their
decorations.
1t would hardly seem possible that
so many beautiful blossoms could be
shown at one time and the easetrn Wis
itor within the city's gates will marvel
at the vast display of flowers, the
most of which have been grown out
in the open under California's sunny
blue skies.

RIO DE JANEIRO, April 1S.-There
is reason to believe that the relations
between Brazil and Paraguay, which
for a long time have been strained are
about to experience distinct improve
ment. This betterment is an outcome
of the visit to Rio de Janeiro of Senior
Baze, the Paraguayan minister Of for

autograph letter from DR.. Ferrerra,
president of Paraguay, giving assur-
ances of the sympathy and friendship
of his government with Brazil.

Russias little frontier war in Per-
sia. 1t was the first occasion to arise
for the active application of Russia S
rights under the Anglo Russian agree
ment to endeavor to preserve order in
northern Persia.
The operations themselves are con-

as the subsistence of fiods permits
the movement of Russian detachments.
Russia counts upon the support of
Great Britain and no interference on
the part of any other power.
The foreign office has no further
news of fighting and the Russian COM

inhabitants along the frontier have
abandoned their villages and fled to

Next September - San
Joaquin Excursion

In ali probability the Los Angeles
chamber of commerce will have dele

ference" to open at Galway next Sep
tember.
This is the opinion of President
Stewart of the chamber of commerce.
This conference to be held at CAL
way" explained President Stewart, is
to arouse interest in Irish products, and
they use a trade mark with Gaelic
world meaning Made in Ireland to
get people interested in home products.
One of their leading papers, the Gal
way Express, says that it is time that
the industrial decay throughout Ire
land were checked and that all Galway
should help toward that end.
They seek to help, not by talking.
but by buying things made in Ireland
THE pretty design they use on their
homemade goods, which they seek to
have all loyal Irish purchase in place
of foreign made products has become
a sort of symbol of the Irish Indus
trial Development association program
throughout Ireland. Any maker of
Irish goods can use it.

DECORATE FOR
EASTER SERVICE
STRUCTURES BEAUTIFULLY
DECKED
ALL HAVE PROPULSION OF BEAU
TIFUL FLOWERS
Members of Los Angeles Churches
Engage in Friendly Rivalry, and
Each Committee Strives to
Guido the Other

All day yesterday willing hands Ia
bored to make the churches beautiful
with true California profusion of
flowers for the Easter services.
Probably nowhere in this country
will there be finer show of flowers
than right here in the Angel City, and
each church entered friendly rivalry
to make it's service the most beautiful.
Tall, stately Easter lilies, of course,
are to be the general favorite for dec
grafton, both potted and in cut now
ers. Next to these will come the cana
lilies, which are blooming in such pro-
fusion at this time. Carnations and
roses and the delicate little lilies of
the valley will be used in many church
decorations to the delight of large con-
sregations today. Even the humble
wild mustard, which makes the hills
a golden hue will not be passed by,
and in many instances will form the
sole color for the churches.
The downtown churches as rule
will present the most elaborate de-
signs, but the suburban churches are
coming up with many beautiful ef-
fects.
Christ church, always beautiful on
high feasts, today will present a beau
tiful appearance in its decorations OF
beautiful flowers which outline the
reed screen and form a bank at the
altar in the rear of the sanctuary. The
pulpit has been generously decorated
and will make one of the pretty ef-
fects of this church
st. Pauls pro-cathedral, with its
deeply ecclesiastical appearance. will
be adorned in keeping with it's char
acter Potted plants as well as lilies
will be used in a stately arrangement
that forms a distinctive scene.
Temple Baptist church. which holds
services in the vast Auditorium, which
is in itself a perennial bloom, had not
been forgotten. The vastness of the
interior precludes any special decor
ative scheme, but the pulpit and stage
have been prettily arranged.
Beautifully Decorated
The First Congregational church al
ways makes elaborate arrangements
for the floral part of the Easter SER
vices and today that church will be
adorned with many beautiful blossoms
banked about the pulpit platform and
choir loft.
Emmanuel Presbyterian, the First
PRESBYTERIAN and the First United
Presbyterian, which are grouped with
in a few blocks, also present a re-
markable fairylike appearance in their
various decorations, all suggestive Of
the Easter season. The First Metho-
dist church is decorated mainly with
trailing vines about the altar
Among Catholic churches hundreds
of burning candles will add a halolike
light to the flowers. The great white
Italian marble altar at st. Vibiana's
cathedral has been richly adorned with
clusters Of the lilies. The bishops

REVIVAL OF INTEREST TN
CHERRY CREEK DISTRICT

"During the past winter there has
been more actual development work
done by owners of mining properties in
the Cherry Creek district than for a
number of years. is the way p. A.
Danaher, of the Vulcan company, puts
it. "And, furthermore, it is bringing
results he continued, and then he got
down to talking facts and figures that
would make anyone a convert to his
way of thinking that Cherry Creek is
destined to be one of the great gold
camps of the world.
At the Vulcan property nearly all the
effort at this time is concentrated on
sinking the winze ON the Copperhead
vein from the tunnel lateral. A depth
of 200 feet below the tunnel level has
been reached and about ten men are en-
ployed. The winze is all in ore and the
daily output is about seven tons of ship
ping ore. Small shipments are being
made every week that pay all expenses.
The Cocomongo company is employ
ing about fifty or sixty men in the
mines and mill which will be in opera
ton in about three or four weeks. 1t is
equipped with four Nissen stamps that
are equal to twenty of the old style.
The main tunnel of the Star is going
ahead as fast as two shifts can drive
ii and a dozen men are at work there.

feet depth in a shaft, broke into free
gold ore, showing high values and has
since encountered a body of lead the
extent of which is as yet unknown.
Fourteen Parallel Dykes
William H. SWEET, one of the most
careful and acknowledged experts on
the district, says that since he has more
fully examined it, his belief is that the
gold values are greatest in the second
airy intrusive dykes, of which, he
claims, there are fourteen extending
through the district and paralleling n
another. These, he continues, are i'm
pregnated with deeomposed hematite
and iron sulphides carrying gold, while
the altered p~orphyries of a schistose
nature form the walls of the ore bodies,
the latter penetrating the former fire.

"Barber canyon further declares
Mr.. SWEET, ''cuts seven of these intru-
sive dykes, and also seven quartz leads
carrying gold, which supplied the placer
deposits that made this canyon famous
as a fortune maker in the early days.
Rockhill canyon cuts five dykes, above
where the placer gold was taken out of
that gulch, also several quartz leads
carrying gold. Barber canyon being
Int one and one-half miles north and
Rockhill canyon four miles south, of
Tiptop bounds a most valuable stretch
of gold-bearing territory lying just to
the east of the camp and probably four
miles wide. I consider it is u~nequaled
in all this state for the prospector and
investor desiring to get started success
fully on short money"
Camp Growing Conservatively
More full recognition of these condi-
tions, gradually appearing among the
new arrivals, has much increased that
already enthusiastic sentiment which
their original personal Investigations
had created. Accordingly the growth
of the camp is proceeding in a conserva-
tive way, Indications that it is perma-
nent being most conspicuous. Houses
and tents which numbered % a week
ago have Increased to between forty
and fifty, with corresponding growth
in stores, saloons, restaurants and iodg.
