B. C. LUMBER BOOM BREAKS.

Nine Million Feet Float Away to the
Columbia.
Nelson, B. C.-Word has reached
the city that owing to the bursting
of the boom of the Patrick Lumber
company of the SLOGAN 100000 feet
of timber went out and down the
river. The dam remained intact and
is in as good shape as ever. The
boom was about four miles from the
junction of the SLOGAN and Kootenai
rivers an dabout II miles from the
Columbia river. There are several
mills on the Columbia river, and it is
hoped that their booms will catch
most of the logs.

Great SURGEON,

Chicago, June 9.-Spurning the gold
OF millionaires, Albert Jansen of Ber-
lin, one of the greatest eye and ear
surgeons in the world, operated yes
terday, out of pure mercy and without
price, on two unfortunate waits of the
tenements. The skill of the surgeon,
for which the wealthy men and women
of Chicago have in vain sought with
oners OF fortunes, and which at last
was given for nothing, resulted in two
cures. The children, who had been
deaf, were made to hear.

Chattanooga Man REFUSES TO OBEY
Negro Bandits.
Chattanooga, Tenn, June 7.-Satur
day night a holdup occurred on Ross
Vile avenue, on the southern out
skirts. Joseph Knight business man,
was killed and Miss Sallie Poole was
probably fatally wounded. Knight and
Miss Poole started for drive and
when they reached a point just south
of the city limits three negroes sud
denly stepped to the middle of the
road and commanded the driver to
halt.
Knight declined to obey and one of
the negroes sprang to the horses head,
while the other two covered Knight
with pistols. Knight resisted the at
tack and the negroes opened fire, kill
ing knight instantly. Miss Poole was
struck by two bullets, and there is
little chance of her recovery. The ne
grOes escaped. Armed citizens are
securing the country for them and
bloodhounds are on tht trail. A lynch
ing is likely.

OF FLEET SAILS
BATTLESHIPS ALABAMA And
MAINE LEAVE FRISCO.
Get Early Start From San Francisco
on Account of Their Being Little
Slow-RepIaced by Nebraska and
Wisconsin-FIeet Returns to Allan
tic Coast by Way of suez Canal.

San Francisco, June 1O.-Leaving
the other warships of the Atlantic
fleet to follow a month later the battle
ships Maine and Alabama, designated
as a special service squadron, sailed
from this port Tuesday morning on
the long voyage to Hampton Roads
by way of Honolulu, Manila, Alden and
the Suez canal.
Captain Giles B. Harder of the
Maine will be in command of the spe-
cial squadron and on the first leg of
the long cruise home will have mem
Der of the presidents cabinet, Secre-
tary of the Interior James r. Garfield,
as a guest and passenger. Secretary
Garfield arrived from Washington to-
day and will go to Honolulu on the
special mission, where he will study
the labor question, immigration prob
lem, commercial development of the
islands and the coastwise trade.
The two battleships are spick and
span for the reception of Secretary
| Garfield, who will be received with
salute of 13 guns, not only from the
Maine, as he boards that vessel, but
from Rear Admiral Sperry's flagship,
the Connecticut, just from drydock
and again anchored at the head of the
column of the two divisions now in the
bay.
First to Start Home.
The Maine and the Alabama are the
first two ships of the big fleet that
came through the strait of Magellan
to turn their bows hOmeward and will
complete the trip around the world in
advance of the flagship Connecticut
and the remainder of the fleet, arriv-
ing at Hampton Roads October o. 10
months from the time they left there
on their mountaineering cruise.
The detached two warships will ar
rive at Honolulu June II, remain there
five days, touch at Guam July and
reach Manila July 81. This will be
the last American port to be entered
by them until they reach Hampton
Roads. On July 20 they will sail from
Manila, touching at Singapore August
g, Colombo August IA and pass
through the Suez canal September s.
The squadron is scheduled to arrive at
=, Naples September 10, remaining there
week and arriving at Gibraltar Sep.
TENDER 80.
The dropping of the Maine and the
detaching of the Alabama from the
main fleet are due, one to limited
steaming capacity and the other to
inferior engines. The steaming radius
of the Maine without recoaling is linn
: tied to 300 miles, and there is a
stretch of over 1000 miles after the
? fleet leaves Honolulu before it reaches
, New Zealand. The engines of the Ala
bama, it is said, have not proven equal
to those of the other battleships and
it is feared that she might retard the
fleet should they break down.
When the Atlantic fleet sails
through the Golden Gate on July
hOmeward bound via Honolulu, the
lntipodes, Manila and Suez, the bat
Ileships Nebraska and Wisconsin will
, be in the line in the place of the Maine

NO FLIES IN MILITARY CAMP.
Sanitary Triumph Achieved by the
American Lake Managers.

Military camps without a single fly
is the latest and most scientific
achievement of the United States ar
my. says the Walla Walla Bulletin
To men who have done service in the
south, in Cuba and in the Philippines
this comes as a most startling state
ment and one that would not be cred
tied save for the testimony of the Of
ficers and enlisted men themselves.
That the first experiment of the
war department to eradicate the fly
pest is wholly successful is the un-
qualified statement of Lieutenant
Colonel Matt II. Gormley Of the Sec
ond Washington regiment, command
er of the Blue Army, in the recent
joint army and state military maneu-
vers at American Lake.
"While the camp was a most excel
lent one, the administration of Brig
adler General Bush was the best I
have ever had the honor to serve un-
der and the fraternal spirit of the
regulars and the national guardsmen
was at its high tide, nothing compar-
ed with the work of the sanitary de-
partment of the hospital corps and
the success in eliminating flies" said
Colonel Gormley to the Seattle Times.
Everyone who has seen service
knows of the fly pest" he continued,
"and the schemes to get rid of the in
sects were watched with great inter-
est this year. The result is that the
army has successfully defeated the
fly. We used crude petroleum in con-
nectlon with the latrines as the first
precaution, and found that flies do
not take to trpde oil.
