PENSION AGENT FOR IOWA TRUE ROMANCE OF WEST.

When the famous Doyle-Burns liti-
cation over the richest gold mine ever
discovered in Colorado was settled the
other day, it ended a lawsuit that
made fortunes for certain Iowa at
torneys landed one of the litigants
in Jail for six months and broke up
love affair.
James Doyle and James F. Burns
were acquaintance and friends in
the east. Doyle fell in love with
Kate Burns, the sister of James F..
Burns. Burns and his sister moved
west largely to get away from Doyle
but Doyle was so much in love with
the pretty Kate that he followed them
to Colorado Springs. There he
worked for the city having in charge
the distribution of irrigation water.
Finally the two joined forces when
they heard of the big Stratton strike
at Cripple Creek. Stratton was then
poor carpenter and Cripple Creek
was nothing but grazing land on the
side Of the mountain. Burns and
Doyle went to Cripple Creek and 10

that Iowa got interested. A year or
two later in 1898 they met at Council
Bluffs for the annual meeting and
then Doyle brought suit against
Burns for $1,00O,000 claiming Burns

| as an experiment previous to the pur-
chase of the farm and results attained
then inspired Warden Sanders to go
into the enterprise on large scale. A
number of young pigs were purchased
and were fed the waste of meals.
These leavings and scraps were previ-
ously thrown away, and now by max
Ing use of them a great saving Is
counted for the state in that this
refuse goes into pork and lard, two
very costly necessaries.
At present fresh pork appears on
the menu card twice each week. The
butchering is done by inmates, as is
the rendering of the lard. In ten
months 15,708 pounds had been served
in 1909. Besides. 11,460 pounds of
leaf lard had been supplied.
Another harvest commencing is an
apple crop which grew on the newly
acquired farm. These are of the Ben
Davis variety and in good years are
credited as being the leader of cook
ing apples. But last season all apples
were poor and this crop was no ex-
ception. This fact, however, further
than making far greater percentage
of loss caused by worms and decay,
has not caused the crop to be counted
as whole loss, and the best of the
lot is being used as fast as possible in
various ways.

ton has been erected directly in front

has proven very satisfactory.
1t is too early to predict just what
use will be made of the new farm this
year-what crops planted and amount
of space used. The farm was former
ly used for dairy purposes and was
nearly all in pasture land. This has
proved great handicap as all ground
had to be broken and certain crops
chosen.

GREAT VICTORY
Court Removes Federal Restric=
fions Regarding Interstate
Shipment of Goods
Carload Lots May Be Sent to
Individuals Through Dis
tributing Agent

Federal restrictions which for more
than a year have hampered to con-
siderable extent the California wine
trade in other states were swept away
by a decision of the United States
circuit court at Windsor, VT, yester-
day. Local winemen are jubilant de-
claring that the decision is one of the
most important steps taken in favor
of the grape and wine industry for
many years.
By 1t the various federal restrictions
tending to discourage the shipment of
wine from one state to another will
be applied no longer. The case was
brought about by the confiscation by a
United States marshal of three car
loads of California wine at Barre, VT,
which had been shipped from San
Francisco by the Ciocca lombard
wine company Of this city.
The confiscation was based on sec
tion of the crimes act, by which a
heavy fine was imposed on those who
shipped alcoholic goods to another
state and consigned them to distrib-
utfng agent, the purpose being to force
the wine dealers to ship in broken
lots to the actual individual purchas-
ers, which was impossible under the
freight rates charged. With the law
in force wine shipments to other states
dropped more than SO per cent. Ulti-
mately the local concern decided to
make test case and shipped three
loaded cars consigning the goods to
itself and then informing a drawing
company to distribute the goods ac-
cording to the private markings on the
cases. The confiscation followed and
the case was taken to the federal
courts
I'VE consider this one of the most
sweeping victories for the wine and
grape industries that we have been
able to achieve for many years." said
B. F. Lamhorn, secretary of the Allied
Grape Growers and Wine Industries of
California. The decision will mean
the reviving of the California wine in
dustry."

ISpeeidl CORRESPONDENCE of The Call

HONOLULU, June 22=Martin Lund.
diver whose fame as a shark fighter
extends all over the Pacific. had the
most exciting shark experience of his
life Monday. He is engaged at present
by the company doing the dredging
in the entrance of Pearl harbor. where
sharks are particularly thick. He was
at work, 80 feet below the surface,
when he was attacked by 80 foot
monster, which dashed at him through
the coral.
Lund always carries a knife, and with
this he fought back. Sitting the great
fish in several places while lodging its
rushes. The blood from the wounds
attracted two other great sharks,
which. instead of attacking Lund. made
vicious onslaught on their wounded
fellow
The wounded shark defended him
self, the three fighting back and forth
over the diver for several minutes, re-
peatedly striking his air hose and life
line. Finally the wounded shark swan
off, pursued by the others. Lund lost
no time in signaling that he was
through for the day and ready to go
up.
Shark fishing for commercial pur-
poses is the latest Hawaiian industry
Captain r. D. Walker, who is celebrated
cast away on Midway island before the
cable touched there. has discovered a
method of treating shark oil so as te
deodorize it. He purposes making a
business of sharking and trying out
the oil, which is valuable incidentally
being similar in use to cod liver oil
The captain will make Kawaihae, on

HEAT INCREASES WITH
DEPTH OF NINE SHAFTS
Temperature Rises One Degree
for Each II Meters

One of the mining shafts in Silesia
goes to the remarkable depth of 2,003
meters and this record has been beaten
by another in the district, where the
plummet edescends to 2,240 meters
For practical purposes these figures
represent a depth of mile and a quar-
ter.
One Of the professors in the Univer-
sity of Breslau has been taking tenn
peratures in these mines. He reports
that at a depth of 500 meters the tenn
perature is 26 degrees centrigade; at
1000 meters 40 degrees; at 1900 meters
6S degrees, and at 2,240 meters "a de-
grees.
1t will be seen from the foregoing
that there is practically an increase of
one degree for every 27 meters in de-
scent.
Several of the mines in Hainault are
worked at a distance of more than 1 200
meters below the surface
