ed in the celebration. both for the pur-
pose Of making for his side the best
showing possible and to Guido the op-
position. The rival parades started AT
10 o'clock
The two young men we're the re-
spective marshals OF the day and each
guided his troops as best he could
through the crowds that filled the
streets. The south enders were gor-
geous in their finery from the stores.
The Goddess OF Liberty rode on a float
all by herself and the horses were gay
ly fitted out for the occasion with rib
bons and bunting. The north end had
a more sedate. but more expensive ag.
gregation. 1t had in line all the cow
boys OF the ranch owners and there
were some fancy riders among them
who could and did make the onlookers
wonder at their skill.
AS the bands played and drowned
out the noise Of each opposition com
pany the two marshals OF the day led
the lines toward a tree-lined avenue
and then with a quick turn brought
them out plump against each other in
the broad street, II was the most ex-
citing time OF the towns history. The
men we're mad and the women indig-
nant-the children alone were happy.
They saw two parades instead of one.
But suddenly something else hap
pened Out OF the grove that hid a
stable sprang number OF men with
guns. They leaped into the road and
fred them with deafening reports. It
was intended to brighten the south
enders and It did. 1t also frightened
the others. for the parades were there
together.

Colonel Norton. Il wish We had not

Well he might The teams went here
and there. out Of the control OF the
drivers. Then one was seen running
down the street-it was the one with
the Goddess OF Liberty. Behind II
went two riders-Harry and Led 1t
was a race for life. The two young
men were well mounted. but they had
swift horses to catch. At the end OF
the road was a hill and down at the
bottom a bridge. Their time was
short. On one side rode one and on
the other his rival. Now both realized
that they were to test the love Of the
woman they both admired.

She looked from one to the other.
Even in the terror Of the position she
saw something Of the situation and
wished for an instant that she could
escape making a choice before the
crowd. But a look ahead told her that
that was impossible-now was her
time.

Suddenly she satisfied them. With an

sexere Heat Warns Rails.

Denver, June 29.-Eight persons
were hurt, none fatally, late yesterday
afternoon, when three coaches of the
east bound Denver & Rio Grsnde pas
senger train, No. 6, known as the San
Francisco Limited, went into the ditch
at Sedalia, 20 miles from Denver. The
wreck was caused by the displacement
of rails as the result of the intense
heat. A few hours later an engine and
two aches of Colorado Midland pas
senger train were derailed at Missis-
sippi avenue, inside the city limits of
Denver, presumably on account of heat.

Washington, June CIV. K. New
ell. of CASTOR, representing the Oregon
Horticultural society, who has been
travelling through the East studying
tine apple situation, both as to produc-
tion and market, had conference to-
day with Secretary Wilson and other
Agricultural department officials. He
was assured on every hand that there
is no danger of overproduction of ap-
pies in Oregon; that the Eastern mar
ket is almost unlimited, but before the
trade can assume large proportions
means must be devised for getting
Greg N apples into the Eastern market
at less cost to the consumer
They are in great demand for their
quality, but the price is almost prohib
tive. Mr.. Newell says after weeks of
study that higher prices in the East
arise from the fact that apples pass
through too many hands before reach
ing the consumer and therefore pay too
many profits. He believes this can be
overcome.

Chicago, June 2S.-The declaration
of DR.. Robert Lincoln Watkins that
tuberculosis is a disease of the blood
and can be cured and is not infectious
or contagious was combated by several
members of the American Electric
Medical association. 1.-The disease de-

Watkins. ''How will sanitation and
fresh air stamp it out when internal
sanitation is neglected? Fresh air is
all right, but people are still dying
from tuberculosis and having plenty of

and CooIs Air Somewhat.
New York, June 29.-The second of
a series of cooling thunder storms broke
over the city late yesterday. There
was sudden drop in temperature.
The storm was responsible for the death
of one man and injury of several. At
the Polo grounds the game between
New York and Brooklyn was about to
begin when lightning struck the flag
pole in center field, smashing the upper
portion of the staff into splinters and
tearing down the pennant flag which
the New York team won in 1905.
Before relief came two deaths were
added to the long list of temperature
victims. There were score of pros
trations. The maximum temperature
was sc, but the humidity was great.
Summing up the results of the heat
wave, Health Commissioner Darlington
in his weekly mortality report today
noted an increase of nearly 200 deaths
over the corresponding period last year.

Boiling Oil in rexas Wei.

Galveston, June 2s.-Oil tappers are
working on a problem confronting
them on the farm of NJ. Zimmerhaul,
near here, where a flow of boiling oil
was struck. Specially constructed
dams are being built to hold the pro-
duct, which is too hot to be handled in
the usual way. The strike was made
four days ago. For three hours a col
umn of hot water shot into the air, fol-
lowed by the hot oil. AT first it was
thought the heat of the oil was tempo
rary. but its temperature has remained
near the boiling point.

tent Agents.
Chicago, June 28.-Secretary r. A.
Ballinger, the "big chief" Of the De-
partment of the Interior, sharpened his
long knife and tomahawk today while
he was in Chicago. to go after the
scalps Of large number of Indian
agents on the reservations in the West.
He spent the greater portion Of the
day with Frank Sorenson, superintend-
ent of the Indian warehouse, and then
announced that be was getting ready
TO rid the Indian agencies Of numerous
incompetent hands.
He made no secret of the fact that
he is cheap brave" and is going on
the warpath to burn the red tape of the
department. He laid the foundation
for his campaign in long conference
with Mr.. Sorenson, making detailed
inquiries into the manner Of conduct
ing business with agents and inspected
the stock of goods on hand which are
being shipped daily by carloads to the
reservations.
Secretary Ballinger said tonight that
be was going to make radical changes
in the manner of conducting Indian
affairs in the West.
81 am not afraid to cut away the red
tape when | see that it is hampering
the work Of the department." said
Mr.. Ballinger. 81 think the principal
difficulty Is with the incompetent
agents. They are not INSCRIPTIONS,
but it takes good business men and
men who understand the manners of
the Indians to deal with them"
Secretary Ballinger left late tonight
for Kansas.

BLOCKS GROWING OF BETS.
Lack of Railroads Prevents Oregon
From Becoming Sugar State.

Lack of Railroads Prevents Oregon
From Becoming Sugar State.
Washington, June 28.-According to
the United States Department of Agri-
culture, lack of transportation facili-
ties in Oregon is seriously retarding
the development of the beet sugar in
dustry in that state. Oregon today has
but one beet sugar fsctory-that at
La Grande. Capital has been looking
over the Eastern Oregon field and sew
eral localities have been found where
the growing of sugar beets on a large
scale would prosper if there were ade-
quate facilities for getting the beets
to a factory. But the almost utter
lack of railroad transportation is an
obstale too great to be overcome in
most instances. The department re-
port indicates that there is prospect of
the installation of sugar factory at
Enterprise, though no details are given
and the whole matter is still undecided.
Washington, like Oregon, has but a
single sugar factory at tn time.
That one is at Waverly. There are a
number of places in Eastern Washing
ton, however, where the building of
sugar factories is seriously contemplate
ed, among them North Yakima, Spo-
kane and Thorp- The department re-
ports that companies have been formed
in some cases contracts have been
made with the farmers to grow sugar
beets; considerable capital has been
subscribed; concessions have been
tentatively secured from towns, such
as free building sites, remission of
taxes for a period of years and other
privileges. All these projects are
simply awaiting development or more
opportune conditions.

Hundreds of rich farmers are re-
