MAY GET US UP
EARLIER
PRESIDENT TAFT LIKES THE
IDEA OF SETTING THE CLOCK
AHEAD TWO HOURS, COMMENC-
ING NEXT MAY.

Washington, June Get up at
o'clock in the morning!
President Taft likes the idea Il
the people of the United States like
1t, too, he'll issue orders next spring
to fixe the clocks. The idea is tc
set them ahead two hours on May ]
and leave them this way until Octo
Der /.
E. H. Murdoch, fellow citizen OF
the president in Cincinnati, won
Taft's interest and has organized the
National Daylight association, the
purpose of which is to discover
whether the American people really
went to get up two hours earlier on
summer mornings.
I'VE follow the clock foolishly in
the summer" says Murdoch. 1.-The
sun rises at o'clock, yet We sleep
on during the two finest hours Of the
day. If we push the time ahead two
hours, we would call the hour z. The
man who followed this plan would
get through work two hours earlier
than he does now, say 1T in the af-
ternoon. This would give him many
hours of daylight, for real recreation.
He could easily go to the ball games.
The games could start at and run
till 8. 1t would still be daylight at s
because s would be 6, by our time
Under the new plan the average
person would go to bed at S or 9
o'clock.
Think Of the hours of hot con-
finement the children would escape
In school. They would go home at
o'clock, but that would be what is
now l o'clock.
There would be more time for
recreation in daylight. The system
would put a new value on parks,
Fairgrounds and breathing places"
Mr.. Murdoch has shown that, if
the whole country adopts the day
light plan, there Will be no difficulty
in carrying out the system. On the
first day of May we would all rise at
5 o'clock in the morning. We would
turn our clocks forward to Z. 1t
might be a rather sleepy day, but
we would go to bed early and when
we awakened at the next morning
1t would seem as natural as il the
hour were really Z o'clock And be-
sides that the morning air would be
gloriously inspiring.
Mr.. Murdoch hopes that CONNER
cial and business clubs will take ul
his plan and write to his association
in Cincinnati.

Wenatchee River on the Rampage

Wenatchee River on the Rampage.
The rain of last Tuesday, in con-
junction with the warm weather. had
the effect of melting the snow in the
back hills, bringing down a large
body of water to swell the swift cur
rent of the river There is but lit
tie danger of an overflow, as the
rapid current carries the water off
quickly The damage done is con-
fined to the orchard of A. Johnson,
which occupies the point at the bend
of the river below the ripraps. Here
the surging waters struck with full
force the embankment of planking,
bending it out of place for a distance
of several rods, undermining it and
eating into the soft earth at the side
of the orchard for several yards.
Wednesday forenoon it looked as
though Mr.. Johnson would lose one
or more acres of his valuable orchard.
About 40 of our citizens volunteered
TO go to his relief and worked until
late in the afternoon in checking the
inroads of the water This was done
by placing about 1000 sacks of earth
with numerous loads of branches and
stones in the washed out cavities.
Since the change of the current,
caused, it is alleged, by the shifting
of the roadbed of the Great Northern
railroad, this point has been exposed
to the action of the fast running wa
ter, so much so that Mr.. Johnson has
been subjected to loss which would
equal from two to three acres of his
valuable orchard. besides an outlay of
considerable ready money to pay the
necessary expense incurred in check
ing the destruction to his property

Music From Furniture Van Lures
Chicago Boys.

New York, June 7.-While whole
lot of youngsters were returning to
school for the afternoon session they
heard music coming seemingly from
the clouds, says a Chicago dispatch
to the World. 1t was now loud ana
then faint, as if in the distance. They
stopped and listened Not a hand
organ was in sight, but the strains of
national air could be heard plainly.
A delivery wagon was moving to-
ward North Clark street and two fur
niture movers carrying a rosewood
box were visible. Upon the movers
the boys attention centered, and soon
it was whispered that Browns music
box was being taken to his new flat.
Highly delighted the boys formed
in procession, and soon long line of
entranced and tardy school children
was fastened, like the tail of kite, to
the movers. These two were i'm
mensely pleased at the attention they
were attracting, and when the song
was over they chit up another tune"
and continued on their joyful way
until one by one the lady realized the
hour and disappeared.
Then the furniture men put on an
other perforated buzz saw" smiled
and turned into Wrightwood avenue,

Germans Want Live Fish.
Carp Fresh From Water Consider
ed q Luxury.

There is one table delicacy the Ger
man epicure must have, and that is
carp and the carp, to be eaten in per-
lection, must be killed Immediately
before cooking. Saxony is noted for
it's carp and in that kingdom the
problem of conveying the living fish
for long distances to remote markets
has assumed considerable Importance.
For several years past fresh water
fish have been imported in casks of
water from various points to the
cities, at considerable expense. The
living fish can be purchased daily in
the markets of Dresden, Chemnitz
and other cities, and are naturally
preferred to fish transported in ice.
Living sea fish are also transported
to a less extent in salt water tanks.
They are to be found thus only in a
few of the larger cities. The desir-
ability of providing cheaper means OF
transporting Saxony carp to distant
points reached by fluvial routes has
led to the introduction of ingenious
ly devised river craft for the pur.
pose. They consist of scows IS feet
long and 16 feet wide. The interior
is divided by partitions into 80 com
partments. In the bottom and sides
of scow, as we'll as in the inner par
titions are left open SO that wnen
floating in river there Is continual
circulation of fresh water.
The city of Hamburg demands very
large quantities of carp, especially In
the autumn and this economical meth
cd of bringing the living fish from
the remote breeding places does much
to increase the demand.
These craft made the first pourney
down the river during the month of
September. How long viii it be be-
for fresh trout and salmon will be
brought to London in the same way?

No Need of Suffering from Rheuma-
tiSm

It Is a mistake to allow anyone to
suffer from rheumatism, as the pain
can always be relieved, and In most
cases a cure effected by applying
Chamberlain's Liniment. The relief
from pain which 1t affords is alone
worth many times its cost. 1t makes
sleep and rest possible. Even in cases
of long standing this liniment should
be used on account of the relief which
it affords. Do not be discouraged
until you have given it trial. For
sale by all dealers.

STRIKE NOT YET AVERTED
viii Go Out Upon Order II Executive
Boards Cannot Agree Upon a
Full Settlement

Scranton. March 24.-Reaffirming
the demands already presented to the
operators, the anthracite miners to-
night voted to remain at work after
April, allowing the district execu-
tive boards of the hard coal fields of
Pennsylvania to continue their efforts
TO get an agreement satisfactory to
the men. The miners were instructed
by the convention to continue at work
until such time as they are otherwise
notified by the official representatives
of the three anthracitic districts and
the executive boards were in structed
to negotiate an agreement upon such
a basis as the boards believe condi-
tons warrant
The convention was called upon to
act on a resolution looking TO arbi-
tration as final solution If the men
and their employers cannot agree.
The resolution was introduced by a
district officer and in substance asked
President Taft to create a commission
similar to the one appointed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt in 1902 A heated de-
bate followed, with the result that the
resolution was referred to the three
executive boards Nearly all the
leaders were against it, and it may
never be put into effect by the boards,
While suspension Of coal mining
on the part of the men has been
avoided for the present. there is still
a possibility of strike. but it is re-
mote. The report of the special com
mittee instructing the three executive
boards as to what policy to pursue
gives the boards wide latitude and
permits them to make any concessions
they deem necessary.

p Maxim, inventor of firearms and
president of the Maxim Silent Fire
arm company of New York, fired a
rifle and revolver into a box of sand,
both with and without silencers, to
demonstrate an assertion made to the
committee by him that the silencer
could not be of benefit to criminals,
as il merely reduced and does not en-

Mr., Maxim appeared in opposition
to the Joseph bill which makes it a
felony to manufacture or sell any
noiseless apparatus for guns except to
military or civil authorities. He said
the purpose Of his silencer was to
make shooting comfortable, and that
there was as much miscOnception

About two years ago Spicer moved
