Of Riley in the Boer war, has COM
pleted arrangements for a trip around
the world on a motorcycle in twelve
months, leaving Spokane at 12 o'clock
noon on May l, when party of his
club mates will give him rousing
send-off. He will ride as far north as
Dickinson, Mont, thence to Pierre, s.
D., south to Chicago, and east to New
York. travelling along the borders of
the great lakes to avoid the mountain
Gus country. Returning to this conti-
nent he will land at Vancouver, B. c.,
and ride to Spokane. This is said to be
the first time that any one has at
tempted to travel around the world on
motorcycle, and it is believed that
Linden will be successful. as he will
be backed from start to finish by mem
bers of the club who are ambitious for
record. The round the-world ride
is not on wager nor are any of the
usual freak conditions attached to the
test of endurance.

Action Thought to Be Due to Inter-

Prevent His Reaching Mainland for
Purpose of Fomehtins Revolution
Castro Still at Martinique.

Paris, April S.-The French govern
ment decided today to expel Castro
from the French island of Martinique
on the ground that his presence there
is likely to foment revolution in Ven
ezuela. The decree Of expulsion will be
communicated to Castro Immediately,
thru the project Of Fort de France,
where Castro now is./ 1t is presumed
here that the government of the I'm
tied States, which initiated the ex-
changes with foreign governments to
prevent Castro from establishing
headquarters close to the Venezuelan
coast, will prevent him from making
his way to the mainland on a sailing
vessel This course will leave Castro
the alternative of taking refuge on one
of the Danish West India islands or
returning to Europe.

Apparently satisfied, Anderson next
proceeded to the home of John Bel

resentment was centered in Belford,
whom he accused Of circulating SLAM

and her mother, Mrs. Amanda Minton,
aged 80 years and blind, were alone in
the house. Anderson opened fire on
Mrs. Belford, inflicting a flesh wound
and shattering her arm. He paid no
attention to the blind woman. BY this

PAVE STREETS WITH STRAW.
Said to Make Good Roads in Muddy
Weather.

Spokane, Wash, April S.-Paving
town streets with wheat straw as a
means of binding the mud in the spring
and keeping the dust down later in
the season is being demonstrated at
Endicott in Whitman county, Wash
ington, south of Spokane, where two
miles of streets were treated this
spring, a foot of fresh straw being laid
from curb to curb and packed into the
wet ground following slight rainfall
The experiment is considered to be a
success, as the streets are neat and
clean and there is no dust, tho traffic
to and from the big wheat raches is
heavy. Country roads in other parts of
Washington have been "strawed' for
years during the summer months to
hold the dust, but this is the first time
1t has been tried in town and it is
not unlikely that other communities
will take up the work until permanent
pavements are built.
