WASHINGTON, June 3.-President
Roosevelt late yesterday afternoon had
an exceedingly narrow escape from a
serious accident while horseback riding
in Rock Creek park.
Mrs. Roosevelt was with the presi-
dent.
Rumors of the affair which gained
circulation last night were denied at
the White House at the time, as neither
the president nor Mrs. Roosevelt spoke
of the affair upon their return. The
rumors came from the occupants OF
several carriages who saw the presi-
dent
The president was riding new
horse, a young animal.
The party rode down through a cut
in a bank forded a creek and was as
cending the bank on the other side.
The. presidents horse reared. The
president leaned forward in the saddle
and threw the reins down in loops so
as to avoid pulling the horse back
ward.
Again, on reaching the top of the
bank, the horse reared second time
and the president leaned forward again.
but the animal stood up straight on its
hind legs and then went over back
Feeling that he was going backward,
the president slipped from the saddle
and, as luck would have 1T, fell into
the creek close beside the horse, which
landed on it's back.
Horse Turns Over
The horse fell on the downstream
side of the president who, realizing
that he would be in danger from the
hnrCa
toward him. got out of the way as
rapidly as possible. The horse. how
ever, turned over from the president
and got up. He was captured at once.
The president remounted and rode
for an hour and half before returning
to the White House.
The fall from the horses back to the
stream bed was distance of more than
ten feet. The stream was about two
feet deep, with an extremely rocky bed.
Neither the president nor the horse
received the slightest injury.
President Roosevelt's two riding
horses were out of commission yester-
day, both being indisposed. The presi-
dents orderly wished to try out the
new horse, but the president took 1t
upon himself to do this.
The president was dressed in khaki
and the fact that he got thoroughly
wet did not become apparent TO those
who saw him after the accident. Sew
eral carriages which had crossed the
ford just ahead of the president stopped
and the occupants were alarmed at
what was happening.
The experience, with its many seri-
Gus probabilities. has not dulled the
presidents pleasure in riding, and he
takes considerable qualification in the
test of horsemanship as both times
the animal reared he threw himself
forward so that his head was directly
beside that of the rearing animal, and
the reins being thrown loose had no
tension whatever to pull the horse
backward

S. 7. Langford wishes it under
stood that he is in the race for
county commissioner from District
No. 4 to stay until the votes are
counted, and that the report that
he was going to withdraw in favor
of another candidate is false and
groundless
The friends of G.. S. Holdings
worth this week present him as a
candidate for county commissioner
from Dist. No. 4. Mr.. Holdings
worth is supported by many of the
good people of this district and is
thoroughly competent and qualified
to fill the Office
F. M. Cooper is this week an
nounced as candidate for re-
election to the office of tax col
lector. Mr.. Cooper has served in
this position for several terms and
has always given almost universal
satisfaction. The voters will make
no mistake in carefully consider
ing his claims when casting their
ballot.
1t is entirely unnecessary for

clam canning plant of Broder Bros,
who also operate plant at Belling-
ham. About 40 men are employed in
sorting, cutting and packing clans.
The British Columbian describes the
process as follows:
The raw material is obtained from
the island in the Gulf of Georgia,
where for four days of extreme low
tide every fortnight large bands of
Indians make a living digging the
CLANS from the sand and mud. They
are then shipped in sacks to the fac
tory, the large tugboat Beatrice max
ing frequent trips to and from the
clam grounds.
Arrived at the factory, they are
first subjected to a washing process,
placed in large trough of water and
raked about until thoroughly cleaned
of mud; from there they go to the
cook, who steams them according to
recipe which he refused to divulge as
being an important factor in the sue
cess of the process. A small guam
tity of liquid is drained off during
the process and is used to fill the
cans after the clans are in; this is
known as nectar.
The steamed CLANS go to the sort
ing table, where a number of ORR
entails shake the clam deity from the
shell, the latter being thrown into a
pile for further treatment Other
workers with scissors remove the
neck, then passing them to the can
ners Some of the men fill the cans,
weigh them, others fill the cans with
nectar, and they are then soldered
The more important work is done by
white men, of whom about eight are
employed
This is the canning process, but in
addition there are days set apart for
the manufacture of clam chowder,
clam nectar and minced clam, all of
which are much sought after on the
markets. Nothing is wasted, the
shells being shipped to the Belling-
ham factory, where they are ground
and manufactured into chicken feed.
