Those who are anxious to cultivate an entertaining and instructive liter ary style are recommended to a care ful study of an Associated Press dis patch from Portland, Ore, this morn ing relative to two automobile races. The correspondent describes at length the course, the precautions taken against interference with the racers, the ambitious program of the local automobile association for the future and some other matters more or less remotely connected with speed contests in general. Everything and more is told except the result of the race and results are what races are run for But on second thought we have perhaps missed the meat in the nut. It is after all stated that mo- body was hurt, which is an unusual thing. worth mentioning in connec
 tion with an automobile race. Still we would like to know who won and what the time was. H

AN ATTEMPT ON DREYfUS AT THE z0LA EXERCISES
(Continued from Page One)

not injure the bone. At late hour tonight an official statement was made that his condition was very fay- orable.
 With regard to the reasons for Gre goris act the opinion prevails in Paris that there is much truth in his avowal that he was driven to the deed by appeals to hatred with which the anti semitic papers have been filled. The state of this feeling can be gauged by an interview with Henri Rochefort. editor of Patrie, which was published tonight, and in which he says:
 Tt would have been a glorious death for Dreyfus; it would have been his first and only time under fire"
 Mathou Dreyfus, brother of Dreyfus, who sprang forward to save him, chivalrously saved Gregori from the crowd which was raining blows with canes and umbrellas on the man, shouting: Tt is not for you to punish; let the law take its course"
 "Gregori made a statement to the police directly after his arrest, and during his second interrogation to- night he said: T did not wish to kill Dreyfus. It is true l aimed at him but l only wanted to graze him. My only object was to protest against the par ticipation of the army in the glorifi- cation of Zola and the rehabilitation of Dreyfus. My blow was aimed less at Dreyfus, than at Dreyfusism."
 During the day the police made sev- eral hundred arrests, but no signifi- canoe is attached to this, as the pris- oners are mostly students and rowdies who took part in numerous street brawls.

WARNING AGAINST TETANus

The esteemed New York Tribune feels impelled to issue an early warn ing against the perils of tetanus, say ing that all over the land children and youth to the number of scores, perhaps hundreds, are practically marked for slaughter and will in about six weeks time die in excru- ciating agony. This scourge, it says, in many respects resembles hydro
 dread destroyer in the extent of its ravages. It believes that more people die of tetanus every year in this country than have died of hydropho-
 bia since the republic was founded.

Oh! what is so rare as a frost in June, in the Salt River valley? Yet many reliable and early rising citizens said that yesterday morning they de- tected frost on the tips of alfalfa. Any way this is a good time for frost, near midsummer when the grain is already harvested and in the stack and when the fruit Is so far along as to be out of danger We very much doubt the evidence of the senses of those who saw frost yesterday. How ever that may be, we have summer resort weather equaled no where else in the United States. Let those who are sweltering in the northern cities come here and cool off.

The disease follows injuries received through the use of toy pistols and certain dangerous kinds of fireworks, and is easily avoided, provided these death dealing instruments are firmly suppressed. So much has been said in the press in recent years of the danger of the toy pistol and dyna- mite firecracker that it really seems as though no parent in his right mind would permit his offspring to use them in celebrating the Fourth. As for young men who have passed be- yond parental control, they must, of course, stand ready to pay the pen alty of their folly.

HOW THE PYRAMIDS WERE BULL
Theory That Explains Expenditure Of
Time and Labor.

No one has been able to decide how
the enormous stones in the pyramids
were handled; for even allowing for
the vast army Of men, some sort OF
mechanical contrivance must have
been used.
One theory is that as each course
of stone was laid sand embankment
was built around it with long, easy
slopes so that the stones for the next
course could be pushed on rollers
and slid into place, without any actual
lifting, and so on, the pyramid being
in fact buried as fast as it was built,
until the top was reached, when the
stupendous job of removing the sand
embankment was commenced.
This might account for the vast
army Of 1aborers used; for instance,
it is said that in building the great
pyramid of Cheops 100000 men we're
employed for 80 years, although the
quarry from which the stone was OBJ
tanned was nearly 5000 feet from the
pyramid Engineering Magazine.

There were wild scenes of panic on

many excited ones, not waiting for boats

Scores are believed to have been
drowned, while others, trapped by the fire,
were literally roasted to death or smoth

Many craft in the harbor rushed to the

SCHOONER BLOWS UP:
MEN BARELY ESCAPE
SAILORS FLEE IN DORlES; ROW
FIFTY MILES
Fishing Vessel Takes Fire Off Cape
Scott, Gasoline Tanks Explode
and Craft Is a Total
Loss

By Associated Press.
VANCOUVER, B. c., April 22.-The
gasoline fishing schooner Clara c.. of
Tacoma was blown UP off Cape Scott
on Sunday night and the crew of eleven
men had barely time to escape in the
dories with nothing but the clothes on
their backs.
The schooner took fire in an unknown
manner at o'clock in the evening
and Capt. Hansen and his men fought
heroically for a few minutes to check
the flames. They could do nothing and
had to take to the boats. Some of them
even had to jump overheard to escape
the flames. The danger of an explosion
was seen, and although they got away
as rapidly as possible from the doomed
vessel, they had made but few strokes
before the gasoline tanks exploded and
the vessel went down a short time
later.
The explosion and sinking of the boat
caused considerable commotion in the
water and one of the dories was nearly
swamped, but fortunately no one was
drowned.
Cape Scott Is at the north end of
Vancouver island, but as there was no
landing place there or any habitation
rear by the shipwrecked crew had TO
row to Scarlet Point lighthouse, nearly
fifty miles away, for food and shelter.
1t was late on Monday afternoon be-
fore they reached that haven, the en-
tire night and day being spent without
food or water, and every man was
erenched to the skin, owing to the
heavy rainstorm.
Capt. Hansen and his crew were
picked up by the halibut fishing schooner
Celestial Empire of this city on her re-
turn from the north on Tuesday and
brought to this port today.
The Clara c. was a gasoline schooner
of forty-si,. tons and was fitted with a
6O-horse power gasoline engine. She
was owned by Capt. Hansen and Chris
Carlson and was valued at $4,000. She
was a total loss, there being no insur-
| ance.
