GREAT MASS OF
ROCK IS BROKEN
1900 POUNDS OF POWDR IS DSolncB
Estimated Thst 10000 Tons Of Red s.
Dislodged Ii Roche llarbof Quarry.
Billy Sunday Makes Address

The great powder blast discharged
at Roche Harbor last Monday after
noon was complete success, dis
lodging and breaking up twenty to
thirty thousand tons Of rock more
than was anticipated. It was fired
at twenty minutes past one O'Clock
and was witnessed by a large mum
Der of people from steamers, laun-
ches and a large scow in Mosquito
pass. On the top of the great lime
stone cliff stood a large Madrona
tree from which a flag floated out
upon the gentle breeze, marking the
spot beneath which the great blast
was to be fired. Three whistles
from the steamer Roche Harbor
gave the signal for the discharge
and Miss Dorothy McMillin touched
the electric button which commun-
icated the ignition spark to the "a,
600 pounds Of powder stored in tun-
nels in the hill. There was a dull
roar, sounding much like the noise
of cannon shot far away, and the
great limestone cliff seemed to rise
into the air in solid mass and then
sank from view in tens Of thousands
of fragments, varying in size from
minute particles to great masses
weighing many tons. It is estimat-
ed that at least 13O, 900 tons of rock
was broken up sufficient to supply
the company S kilns for about year
and a half. Never before had more
than five or six thousand pounds Of
powder been discharged at the quar-
ry.
After the blast, Mr.. McMillin
and his guests and employees and
many visitors hurried to the croquet
grounds at the hotel where Billy"
Sunday, the evangelist, delivered an
earnest address Of about twenty
minutes duration on religion and
temperance. He told how he came
to see the error Of his way when he
was ball player and sport" in
Chicago twenty-four years ago and
told number Of most impressive
stories from his own experience Of
the evil effects of drinking and Gig
arctic smoking.
Mr.. Sunday was accompanied by
quite a large party Of his Belling
ham friends, who made the trip on
the fine P. A. F. steamer Calender.
Mr.. Fisher and Miss McLaren sang
a duet at the opening of the meet
ing and Miss McLaren sang alone
at the close. A vote of thanks was
given by the Bellingham party to
Mr.. McMillin for the pleasure which
he had afforded them.

kAsHINGIOR's FRUIT CROP THIS
YEAR PROMISES TO Be RECORD BRIAkfR


The Ranch, in it's issue Of May /,
says: From all appearances, it
would seem as though the farmers
Of the Northwest and especially the
fruit growers would see in 1910 the
best year of their history. The un-
timely early spring in the Mississip-
pi valley states, which brought out
the fruit buds and early crops only
to be blasted by the late cold spell,
while bad for them, will be worth
thousands of dollars to the Pacific
coast growers. Fruit crops Of
Michigan, south to the state of Ok
lahoma have been badly damaged
and in some places all destroyed.
The result will be that there will
be short crop Of fruit in the CEN
tral states. On the other hand, ap-
pearances are now that the Pacific
coast will have the record crop.
We have never seen the fruit out.
look as bright as it is at the present
time, and much of it is past the
frost killing stage. A lesson for
our fruit growers to learn is the
lesson Of proper packing and grad
ing. 1t matters very little how beau
tiful an apple is, if it is packed IN a
dirty box it .cannot be made sal
able. The fruit crop of Oregon and
Washington this year will probably
be the most valuable ever harvest

we do not care to say too much
about this FOR if we do the boys are
likely to get conceited and think il
unnecessary to play as hard in order
to win out in future contests. The
boys are making a good record and
in order to retain this should con-
tinue to play ball as though their
lives depended upon it.
The big crowd that visited the
ball grounds last Sunday, when the
local team crossed bats with the
Fort Worden nine, witnessed the
best game of the season, when the
bunch from the fort across the
straits were done up to the tune OF
|8 to IL. The Fort Worden nine,
with some fifteen of their friends
arrived here about II o'clock Sun
day forenoon on the launch ST. Paul,
formerly owned by G. A. Tulloch,
Of this place, and departed, sadder
but wiser, at about five in the af-
ternoon.
These games bring many excur-
| sion parties here during the base
ball season and the local boys should
receive all the encouragement posi-
|ble from the citizens Of the town.
The Seattle Trade Register Of
May 81 says: Baseball benefits q
man in many ways whether spec
tator Or a player. But here is one
thing it does, the benefit OF which
cannot be overestimated. It works
up enthusiasm for the home town.
Many Of us would never think Of
our towns were it not for baseball.
When there are three men on bases,
Land Hy Jones comes to bat and
knocks out q three -bagger, and
thousands Of lusty throats cheer up.
roariousIy for Jones and Spikeville'
we grow to love our town. we
want to fight for it, and cheer fol
lit anyway. Baseball is the great
loo horsepower generator OF enthu'
lsiasm, and you know enthusiasm
IS ! wondrous business builder.

O'NEILL BACK HOME.
Will Start Chicago Americans on
Training Trip February 20.

Chicago, Feb. 9.-The Chicago Ameri
can league club will probably start on
its training trip to California, Feb
ruary 26.
President O'Neill of the Western
league, who went west to arrange for
the invasion of California by the Chi
cago Americans, returned yesterday.
He brought back glowing accounts Of
the trip that the squad will take, and
while no definite dates as to exhibition
games were given out it was announced
that the schedule had been arranged so
as to give the players plenty of sleep in
eral successive nights at a time.
c. A. Comiskey still has the trip to
the northwest to decide upon, but Cos
sip about baseball headquarters yester-
day indicated that he had abandoned
the idea and the homeward journey will
be made over the southern route, the
same as in the two years previous.

The LORDS MUST GO.
Keir Hardie Says That Is the Position
of His Party.

Newport, England, Feb. 9.-In his
address opening the tenth annual meet
ing Of the Independent Labor party to-
day, President James Keir Hardie
threw cold water on all suggestions that
the laborites in the Forthcoming parlia-
nent should be the blind followers of
the government. He said
Il confidently assert that those who
hope to see us bring about our own
undoing by entering into some agree
ment or understanding with the gov
eminent are doomed to disappointment.
At all costs and hazards, we must
maintain a complete freedom of action
both in the house of commons and in
our constituencies. The treatment
melted out to our candidates by the
Liberals in the recent contest was not
the kind to prediSpose us in favor
of any friendly relationship
President Hardie declared that the
policy of the Liberals toward the peers
as outlined did not inspire the LabOrites
with confidence. To talk of weakenin g
the veto power of the lords was toy
ing with democracy, he said, adding
that any second chamber must in the
nature of things be reactiOnary and
could be intended only as a check to
progress.
He said that the policy of the Labor
party remained unchanged and that
was to sweep the house of lords into
oblivion. The same unsullied independ-
ence which had produced so many labor
measures in the past must continue to
work for ends yet to be won.

Orders all day long. Perched there
from about 9 o'clock in the morning
until quitting time at night, that pile
of iron is literally covered with men,
women and boys, watching the progress
of the splendid new building. But one
other proposition in the city offers as
many thrills as watching the big der
rick work. said a business man as he
paused for few minutes along with
the observers, land that is the fact
that the Santa Fe Watch company is

ton. They are the Edison, too, the
