Three Steamers viii Ply ON Snake.


Lewiston, Idaho, Aug. 25.-Ar-
rangements have been made for the
resumption of the steamboat service
OIL the Snake river between Riparia
and Lewiston. 1t is announced that
the Lewiston and Spokane will again
be placed on the run and another
steamer, probably the Mountain Gem,
will be added to the fleet The origi-
nal purpose of the o. r. & n. Com
pany was not to place the boats in
service before October, and it was
also the view that the two boats Of
the company could handle the bust
ness. The change of plans is due to
the fact that the results Of the har-
vest have shown that the service of
three boats will be necessary to han
die the grain crop that is piling into
the warehouses Another influence
on the decision to begin the service
at an early date is the fact that much
of the grain already in the ware
houses has been sold, while in past
years the selling season came later
and there was no demand for early
shipping facilities. The prevailing
high prices have brought the present
condition about.
About IS per cent of the crop is
marketed on the south side of the
Snake river and above Lewiston, so
can only be reached by the boats,
since the new railroad follows the
north bank

Scientist Makes Find. in Arizona.

Los Angeles. Cal, Aug. 25.-Re-
narksble discoveries of new species
of insects, reptiles and mollusks
have been made by Virgil W. Owen,
Clerk of the United States District
Court here, in he deserts and noun
tains of Arizona. He has returned
with an almost priceless collection
of 1000 specimens. Some of the
moths and butterflies are valued at
$50 a pair. Many of the specimens,
hitherto unknown to entomologists,
are destined for the Smithsonian In
stitute at Washington. One of the
interesting reptiles secured is a
snake almost new to herpetology,
but one specimen having been found
heretofore. owens specimen is val
ued at $1,000.
In a mountain stream 5000 feet
above sea level, the collector found
q perfect abalone about the size of
a pinhead. Miniature clans, which
will interest scientists all over the
world. were found at the same high
altitude.
Owen also brought seven tortoises,
one of which is a new specimen, and
three rare horned toads. 1t will take
take months TO classify the collec-
ton

given immediate attention.
The wreck, from the standpoint OF
destruction to rolling stock, is one OF
the worst in recent years on the
Southern Pacific in Oregon. The en-
CINE and tender are pile OF scrap
iron. The rails and ties are torn up
for a distance of rs feet, while the
passenger coaches and baggage cars
lie on their sides in the ditch.

CINE presents a grewsome sight, all
despatched with blood.

tigating how the bull came to be on
the right of way.

EIoht FLIGHTS Up

When the first fire company, In re-
snonse to an alarm, reached the long
row of tenements the fire captain at
once Jumped from his engine and en-
deavored to locate the fire. When he
had Intellectually hunted through three
or four structures for it he deserted an
old woman sticking her head out of a
window of the topmost floor of an
eight-story tenement, little farther up
the street.
ANY fire up there?" he yelled, when
he had reached the pavement beneath
the building.
In answer the old woman motioned
for him to come up.
Accordingly, the captain, with ms
men Juggling their heavy hose behind
them, laboriously ascended the eight
flights and burst into the room where
the old woman was.
"Where's the fire?" demanded the
captain. when no fire nor smoke be-
came visible.
ooh, there amt none here" replied
the old woman, flashing an ear trum-
pet. 81 asked y up cause / couldn't

$6,ooo,ooo Left

GOLDFIELD, March 15.-The Flor.
ence Goldheld Mining company has
posted the second dividend of 10 cents
per share. amounting to $1O5.O0O, which
is to be paid to stockholders of record
April 2. The first dividend was paid
January 2 of this year. The books
of the company will close on this divi-
dend April 2, checks to be mailed with
in ten days from that date. After this
disbursement the company will still
have S250,000 in the treasury.
Eight leases are now working on
Florence ground, of which three, the
Rogers-Syndicate, Little Florence and
Florence Annex, are shipping ore. The
company's mill will be ready for work
within sixty days, and 1t is expected
that the dividend rate will be greatly
increased by that time.
The Florence has made a wonderful
record. With a shaft $50 feet deep and
three lease shafts down 500 feet, the
company's engineers estimate the ore
reserves as worth $6,000,000 Tom Lock-
hart, president and manager, has made
a fine record in the administration of
the affairs of the company, and pro-
poses to stay with the game and make
the Florence the very biggest producer
In Goldfeld.
At the meeting of stockholders held
Monday the old board of directors and
officers were reelected excepting
George Wingfield, whose place was
taken by e. b. Parker. The following
officers were elected: President. T. G..

TAYLOR HAS FIFTY-ONE
PLAYERS ON HIS STAFF
Boston American League Magnate
Has a Big Sitting Job on His
Hands-panville Wants
Martin Walsh

BOSTON, March 15.-President John
1. Taylor of the Boston American
league club spent few hours in the
city en- route from San Francisco to the
New England metropolis. The boss of
the Red Sox Is on his way home to
start wedding out his army of ball
players preparatory to the spring train
ing trip.
The efforts of the Boston magnate to
bring a winning club to the Hub have
been most strenuous since September
/. 1907. He has purchased and drafted
enough players to bring the total num-
ber of men on his reserve list up to
flfty-one. That is nearly three times as
many as he will carry during the sea-
son, and the weeding-out process will
be quite a task.
Out of the raft of minor league stars
Mr.. Taylor thinks several will make
good Outfielder Cravath of Los An
geles, one of the fastest and hardest
hitters in the Pacific Coast league, Is
one of the recruits by which the Bos-
ton management sets the most store.
He hit 1903 for the Angels last season,
fielded 1913 and stole fifty bases.
Taylor told Herman Schaefer he had
a second baseman who would make the
champs middle sacker look like six
nickels. Old Schaef begged the Boston
magnate to forbid the "phenom" to hit
any hard drives at him when the De-
troits were playing in Boston. After
promising to return in time for the ball
to be given by the White Sox rooters
and losing a close and exciting bowling
game to Schaefer, President Taylor con"
tinued on his way to Boston.
The Danville club of the Virginia
State league is making a determined
effort to purchase the release of Pitcher
Martin Walsh, who was drafted from
that club by the Cubs. Manager Chance
had a letter from the Danville club
and was asked to name the terms under
which he would sell Walsh. No deal
will be entered into, however, until
Walsh has been seen in action by the
Cub leader. Chance thinks big Eds"
brother Is too promising to pass up
without getting a good line on him.
He comes from baseball stock, Chance
figuring that if there are any more at
home like Ed he wants one or all of
them.
President Comiskey has decided to
pass up the American league schedule
meeting which takes place at New York
next week Secretary Fredericks Will
represent the Sox If he gets from Den
yer in time to make the trip to New
York.
John Higgins, the city printer. thinks
it would be fine to own few shares IN
ball club and may purchase small
interest in the Des Moines club, which
would entitle him to prefix "Magnate'
to his name. He hasn't put up any
cash yet, but probably will If the mag
nate fever last long enough.

HOLLYWOOD BOYS
WILL WALK FAR
CHAMPION BROTHERS TO HIKE
TO NEW YORK
Intend to Take Plenty of Time for
Pleasure and Sightseeing
During Fourteen
Months

Two more disciples of pedestrianism
have come out with the startling an
nouncement that they will walk the
long, long road from Hollywood to lSew
York in fourteen months.
The new converts to the shoe-leather
craze are the Champion brothers, and
will leave on their tour next saturday
morning at o'clock. The young men
have been employed by the Sunset Tel
ephone company in the foothill city,
but cannot resist the call of the east
ern Rialto any longer and have decided
to hike back to Broadway.
Their route will be novel and circuit
Gus, but the boys say they are in no
hurry so long as they are headed the
right direction, and they want to in
clude pleasure and sightseeing in the
trip. They will go via San. Francisco
to Salt Lake, thence to Pueblo, and
then south and east through Northern
Texas to New Orleans. The most in
teresting part of the journey will be
along the gulf shore from the cotton
bale town to Tampa, Fla.
From Tampa the Atlantic seaboard
will be followed with a view to visiting
the historic spots of New England
only a light camping outfit will bur-
den the travellers, but they intend tC
ship ahead of them heavier baggage
and necessities for enjoyment wher
their trip is nearer completion.

BURNS LIGHT

ToMMY'S BAD LAMP is AGAIN
GIVING TROUBLE
American Champion Otherwise in
Good Condition to Trim the
Irish Fighter, Jim
Roche
BY Associated Press.

BY associated Press.
DUBLIN. March 15.-Tommy Burns,
the American pugilist, arrived here to-
day for his fight March IL, when he
will defend the title of heavyweight
champion of the world against Jem
Roche. the irish champion.
Burns Is still suffering from an in
famed eye. the result of an accident
received years ago which one time
threatened to be serious, but he has
definitely decided to go on with the
contest. as otherwise he is in better
condition than he has ever been, ac-
cording to his own statement and that
of his trainer.
Some of the friends of Roche believe
that he has a splendid chance to defeat
Burns, but careful observers of the
game regard the American as sure
winner, and he himself displays the
utmost confidence in his ability to turn
the trick.
The Irish champion has never met
Gunner Moir or Jack Palmer, both of
whom Burns has defeated, so 1t is diff
ticult from his record to form any idea
of how he compares with Burns. He
admits that he does not know as much
about the science of boxing as does
Burns, and the critics point out that he
has this additional disadvantage of
being slow.
There has been little betting on the
fight, the odds quoted making Burns a
strong favorite. A ring has been
erected on the stage of the Theater
Royal, all the seats of which have been
sold. One fortunate ticket speculator
who secured a row in the dress circle
has sold the best of the seats for $l25
each

A Tragedy

A hotel proprietor in Kansas City
once told of an amusing incident con-
nected with the stay at his house or
a rural politician of Missouri.
The polictian had come to the hotel
for hut one day, and he had taken
his dinner elsewhere with friend.
When, on coming to pay his bill, he
found himself charged with days
board, dinner and all, he protested
vigorously. 1t was explained to him
that the American plan was based
strictly on time, and that IL he chose
to eat elsewhere it was his own look
out. The man, however, refused to be
pacified, and paid the bill under pro-
test. Then, to everyone's surprise. he
asked If dinner were "still on" Upon
being informed that 1t lasted until
in the evening, he exclaimed:
"Ive eaten one dinner, but I'm GO
ing to get my moneys worth out OF
this house. if I suffer all the torments
of dyspepsia" a..
He then rushed into one of the dim
ing rooms, seized a bill of fare, ana
ordered everything he could think or
When he finally reached his limit, the
waiter handed him a check for $S.35.
whats that for?" he demanded.
"Your dinner. sir"
"Rut 1 have already paid for my
dinner in my bill,' protested the un-
fortunate man. "I am staying here
on the American plan."
'"Then you should have gone into
the other dining room," said the
waiter. This is the European-plan

Because of Situation in New York,
Thorouehbreds Are Drug on
Market-Short Prices
Are Expected

Racing patrons of Santa Anita park,
and particularly those who bet from
the ground on the form of the horses
and not ON inside information" are
pleased over the announcement of the
Pasadena stable that all the thorough
breds belonging to that firm will be
disposed of in the paddock at the Ar
cadia course within the next week. All
season long the running of La Gloria
Annette, Harvel, Mary F., Aqulline
and a score of others has cost the bet
tors a ton of money, and the in-and-
ont way in which they performed was
always a choice topic for the scanual-
mongers.
lust how the Pasadena stable has
been allowed to continue in business is
hard to figure, save for j. j.. Hol-
lands connection with the firm. The
Williams brothers, who are part own
ers and who train the string, have been
asked to depart from numerous tracks
throughout the country, and for Hol-
land, the vice president of the Los
Angeles Racing association, TO be rated
with them cast more or less or stigma
upon the whole local plant
In Justice to Holland it must be SAID
that he has always been an honest
turfman. While the Pasadena stable
entries nave D6Gil iiNll NAANs
were meant-Holland has lost money
on them all season, and the consensus
of opinion among other owners is that
he has been fed the nuts" IT is said
the "Undertaker' has been reaping the
| harvest.
After leaving Santa Anita it is prob
! able that the Williams brothers will
| retire from the racing game-for
while, at least. They have been in
yited to leave most of the big tracks
of the country, and even should the
New York situation clear they would
probably have hard time gaining rec
| ognition on the courses around the
metropolis.
In view of the precarious condition
as regards the future of racing around
! New York it Is not expected that the
| Pasadena stables sale will bring In
MANY dollars to the Golfers of its own
ers. Horsemen are chary of paying
| out too much for thoroughbreds these
days, for there is no telling where they
| can race them and get their money
| back in purses.
Many owners have intimated that
they will dispose of their cracks, and
! II is an open opinion that any price
will be accepted by them should the
anti-racing bill pass in New YorF
state.

MEXICO CITY, March 14.-Refer-
ring to the general conditions of the

Weed. one of the greatest copper ex-
perts, states that conditions are ex-
ceptionally good in this section, the
naturalization of which, while scat

properties are to be found throughout
the district.
1.-The opening up of the country by
means of the new automobile road
now being built from Iguala to Chill
pancingo," said Mr.. Weed, "means a
great future for the whole district,
as much better and cheaper transpor-
tation facilities will now be afforded
the country than ever before. This
road Is being graded at the present
time between Zumpango and Balsas,
and in all about 1000 men are engaged
in the work, which will make won-
derful change in the entire country
when finished.
Around Iguala may be seen many
good properties. gold. silver and cop
per, which are being operated at the
present time, and some fine grade
bullion, both gold and silver, is being
shipped. The gold bullion is sent out
under an armed escort and the lead
bullion by burro train.
while not so much shipping is be-
ing done at the present time all of

COLLEGE FRESHMEN MAY
BE PERMITTED TO COMPETE

NEW HAVEN. March ia move
ment is on foot to allow freshmen to
enter the intercollegiate track games
this year. The matter has been dis
cussed informally and viii be acted
upon at the next meeting of the as
sociation. 1t was proposed because
some of the best athletes in American
universities are freshmen and it is de-
sirable to get out the very best rep
resentatives from the universities for
the American Olympic team which goes
to England in July
There is no rule in the association
which forbids freshmen entering the
intercollegiate games, but Yale, Har-
ward Princeton, Pennsylvania and
Cornell have voted to keep freshmen
out of the four major sports and will
not enter them at the Intercollegiate
nnless the faculties decide to make an
exception this year. Favorable action
by the Yale, Harvard, Princeton and
