Committee Will Make II German.
American Instead of American.
New York, March 1.-The American
exposition which was to have been
held in Berlin this coming summer
has been postponed. The executive
committee has decided that in view of
the apparent opposition to the exposi-
tion that has developed in Germany
and this country it was best to post
pone the project for another year at
least and then to endeavor to make
the affair German-American In char
acter.
With this object in view and to
prove that the proposed exposition is
not intended as an American CONNER
cial invasion of Germany members Of
the executive committee will visit Ger
many this summer.
The honorary commission appointed
by President Taft, which includes ].
r Morgan, John Wanamlker and Da-
vid X. Francis. will be continued.

AWFUL AVALANCHE
Mining Towns Buried by
SnOwSIideS In Idaho.
MORE THAN 30 KNOWN DEAD.
Dwellers In Canyon of the Coeur
d'Alene Overwhelmed by Mass
Which Falls Down the
Mountain Side.
MORE Than 80 KNOWN DEAD.

Spokane, Wash. March l. More
than thirty lives have been lost in two
great snowslides at mining towns OF
the Occur d'Alene district in northern
Idaho. A slide swept down the noun
tain, striking the little town of Mace
and burying twenty-five houses and
their sleeping occupants in a mass of
snow and ice at the bottom of the
canyon. Another slide rushed down
upon Burke, crushing a score of houses
under thousands of tons of earth and
snow
Every man who could he spared
from the rescue work at Mace was
sent to Burke and doctors were rush
ed to both places from Wallace on spe-
cial trains. More than a thousand res
cuers are now at work
From the foot of the Anchor mine
plant for about half a mile the slide is
thirty feet deep.
When the alarm spread through the
mining camp that Mace had been al
most wiped out by a landslide mothers,
wives and children of the miners en-
ployed at the Hecla, Hercules and An
chor mines and caretakers of the old
TigerPoOrman mine began to seek
places of safety. Wives and families
OF miners who had responded to ap-
peals from Mace We're unable to move,
and these may have been buried in the
snow.
Burke had the larger population,
about 900, and the houses were closer
together. Mothers carried their chill
dren to the side hills, brothers drag
ged their little sisters to places of
safety, and when the slide struck
many of the homes were deserted,
while the men were rese2ing injured
at the stricken sister town.
Old timers III the Occur d'Alene dis
trict have been issuing daily warnings
to Mace, Burke and Black Bear that
because of the record depth of the
snow slides were imminent. For six
teen winters these towns have es-
capped devastating slides, and so strong
was the confidence of the miner resi-
dents that their homes and families
were safe that no precautions had
been taken.
Thirty-five men sleeping in an outfit
car on the Northern Pacific siding who
were swept away with their car in
the bottom of the canyon used the
tools in their car to dig themselves
out
Superintendent Pascoe OF the Stand
ard mine and his wife were asleep
when their home at Mace was crushed
like an eggshell Mr.. Pascoe, two sons
and daughter We're killed. His wife
was only slightly injured.
The little mining town of Mace lies
between precipitous mountain sides, a
struggling line of cottages in the creek
bottoms, bisected by the lines of the
Northern Pacific and Oregon Railroad
and Navigation company. Its one In
dustry is mining, and its big mine is
the Standard. With hardly dividing
line perceptible, the towns of Black

long string of houses for six miles.

or the miners from Illinois fail to
come in the state will be left out of
the joint convention. This means, OF
course, that the Illinois operators will
not attend and that therefore the I'LL

This will leave the central competi-
tive field then to consist of western
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana. I'LL

A TALK ON POULTRY.

"A good representation of the
wayne County Poultry and pigeon
association and others assembled at
the court house last Saturday even
ing to listen to an address made bv
{. Ripon, of Olyphant Mr.. Ripon
was one of the judges of the 5000
birds on exhibition at the Wayne
county fair last year, and is no
stranger to poultry raisers i'm this
section of the state. His talk was
based principally upon incubation
and brooding. Mr.. Ripon spoke in
part as follows:
The prime theory of incubation is
to have strong and vigorous eggs.
When eggs are placed in an incu-
Dator, have them of uniform size.
Test the incubator before placing the
eggs in the machine. Run it at 100
degrees for the test. When the eggs
are placed in the incubator raise the
heat to lO2 degrees and at the eighth
day to 1913 degrees and then don't
lower 1t. Examine the eggs on the
sixth day. The eggs that are clear
are unfertile; those having webb
like lines running through them are
fertile, while those having a dark
spot are decayed and should be
thrown out as the fumes arising from
them Will poison the fertile eggs
Examine the eggs on the 9th, 18th
and 18th. Do not assist the chicks
in Matching, the speaker did it once
to his sorrow. Place the machine
IN cellar where the air is fresh
There will be dampness there and
1t Will be unnecessary to provide ar
tlhclal moisture. If the incubator is
placed upstairs use a sand pan
Ihere are other methods, as placing
cotton in the incubator and syphon-
ing water from the nursery. This
is only in its infancy and is con-
sidered an experiment at present
4 teaspoOnful of water in a sponge
will keep 100 eggs moist for twen-
ty-four hours, but the sand pan is
better than these Hatching tenn
perature can vary from 1O1 degrees
to 1O4 y degrees, although it is
better to hatch at as low tempera-
ture as possible. 1t makes a diff
ference as to what kind of chickens
are hatched
The speaker advocated the use of
large machine having a capacity
of from 250 to 240 eggs, claiming
that it is more reliable than smaller
capacity machines.
Mr.. Ripon recommended the use
OF an egg tester.
Feed old hens twice a day canal
proportions of bran. middlings, feed.
cornmeal, add to this alfalfa and
bone meal. mix we'll until stiff and
serve warm. Give whole grain and
cracked corn at night The above
mixture is for this time of the year.
Mr.. Ripon did not recommend the
hreless brooder. The greatest teach
er is Nature. Watch the old hen.
President Cody then asked Roy
sands his mode of feeding. The lat
ter said he took one-third parts of
bran, cornmeal and middlings to
which he added alfalfa, bone COM
position and charcoal. Give grain
mixture morning and evening. but
no wet mash.
Mr.. Cody gave a short address in
which he stated that it was the pur-
pose OF the Wayne County Poultry
and Pigeon association to more
thoroughly and widely foster the
poultry interest in this county as in
other counties.
