The fire which swept over the Trout
creek district last Sunday night passed
from south to north and was combin.
alton Of three fires which had their
iunctivc point at the head Of Trout
creek. about fourteen miles south Of
the town. The gale blew from the
south and was accompanied by a sue

added greatly to the velocity Of the
breeze coming in the opposite direc.

wind blew at a rate estimated at from
forty 10 fifty miles an hour
At clock on Sunday night the
Trout creek township people and resi-

NUT STEAKS RATED TOO HIGH

Peanut steaks, nut chops and 9TH

and a number of other stockholders
of the Vegetarian Meat Co. of Wash

to appear in court to show cause
why the company should not be dis
solved.
The court is asked to appoint a re-
ceiver. The compliments declare
that the company was incorporated
with capital of $25O,OOO, and that
without their consent this was raised
to $1,000,000. They say the COM
pany is doing little business; that
dividends have been paid from the
capital, and not from earnings, and
that the assets will not amount to
more than $4,000.
They ask the court to enjoin the
issuance of the additional stock.

PAPER MONEY NOW WASHED
Laundry Run by the Government
Proves Successful. How Bills
Arc Cleaned and Pressed.

Uncle Sans money laundry for
washing soiled paper currency has
been the subject of much comment.
The general opinion seems to be that
the government scheme VIII be imi-
tated by the banks, which will find
it cheaper to do their own washing
than to pay express charges on mon
ely to and from the Washington laun-
dry.
The cost of installing a money
washing plant is not expected to ex-
coed from $500 to 500 in most
cases. The government is planning
to give the bankers the benefit of
what it learns from its own expert
ment. The whole process is quite
simple. According to Moody's Mag
azine it has been found that the best
medium for cleansing the bills is
soapsuds made from almost any good
grade of potash soap.
Following a vigorous churning in
soapy water and a bleaching the bills
are rinsed in warm water. One stage
where care must be exercised is in
the bleaching operation, and it is not
yet determined just what ingredients
in a bleaching powder give fullest
assurance of inflicting no injury to
the bills. All the bills of lower de-
nominations have been found to
launder satisfactorily, but the ink
employed in the printing of some of
the bills of high value shows a ten
dency to run when washed. How
ever, there is little need for laun-
dering these longer lived bills.
After the washed bills are dried by
artificial heat they are put through
a sizing machine, which by means OF
a bath of alum and glue restores the
finish of the paper Finally the bills
are packed between large sheets OF
cardboard and run through a press
which in addition to the application
of great weight imparts a peculiar
elongating motion to each package
/ with the result that the rejuvenated
/ bills emerge with all the crisp ap,
I pearance and body of newly manu-
featured currency.
1t has been suggested that the
laundering include a sterilization O.
4 the money either in conjunction Will
or Immediately following the wash
! ing of the bills, but the officials have
not yet decided whether or not there
is necessity for such chemical puri
fication.

THE PUGNACIOUs JAY.
He Is Also the Greatest Joker in the
Feathered Kingdom.

FedUneFSu AlISuOlh'
The bluejay is a handsome bird,
with most discordant voice and
with another popularity not so we'll
known-he is the most persistent
practical joker in the feathered king
dom. One of his favorite tricks is
to conceal himself in a clump of
leaves near the spot where small
birds are accustomed to gather and
when they are enjoying themselves
lin their own fashion suddenly
brighten them almost to death by
screaming out like a hawk. Of
course they scatter in every direction,
and when they do SO the mischievOus
rascal gives vent to a Cackle that
sounds very much like a laugh. If
he confined his pranks to such jokes
as this, however, he would not be
such a bad neighbor to birds smaller
than himself, but when he amuses
himself by breaking the eggG in their
nests and tearing the young to pieces
with his bill he becomes a pestilent
nuisance, and they often combine
their forces to drive him out of the
neighborhood. They do not always
succeed, for he is as full of fight as
of mischief, but a severe conflict
teaches him that they, too, have
their rights, and this induces him to
mend his manners.

MAN RACED AGAINST BIRDS.
LIE Blanc Beat a Flock of Carrier
Pigeons in the Air.

ASCCAAS III NlAO 1AlIs
An Amiens, France, dispatch says:
The first aerial race between the
birds of nature and of mans pro-
duction took place in the course of
the great aerial cross-country com
petition and was easily won by man.
A flock of forty-seven carrier pigeons
was released at DOual yesterday at
the same instant that lie Blanc in
his Farman biplane started from the
mark on his fifty-mile flight to
Amiens.. Rushing through the calm
air the bi-plane soon outdistanced
the birds, and when lie Blanc reached
Amiens the flock was not yet in sight,
the first pigeon-arriving six minutes
and twenty seconds after LIE Blanc
Before the last of the flock had come
in LegengneuX, who had started at
the same time as lie Blanc, but con
sumed nine minutes more on the
trip, arrived, beating the last pigeon
by twelve minutes.

STUDYING COTTON CULTURE.
Hawaii Staple Does Not Rival That
of the South.

The cotton in Hawaii can never
rival that of the south, according to
DR.. e. v Wilcox, director of the gov
eminent Honolulu experiment sta
ton, who is in Georgia on a trip
to study southern cotton culture.
He says that although the islands
produce a fine grade of sea island
bringing from 80 to 80 cents per
pound, there are only 10000 acres
suitable for cotton culture. But L.
600 acres are now under cultivation.
Dr. Wilcox brought with him some
seed of Carayonica cotton to see
whether it can be grown in this soil.
He says this cotton is perennial. re-
curing only one planting and bear
ing each year from the same stalk.
I'm Hawaii, he says, these cotton
plants are pruned' to prevent them
from attaining a height of ten to
twelve feet.

How long this terrible situation

GETTING A LION IN WILOS
THE THRILLING ADVENTURE OF
A HUNTER IN AFRICA.
Watching a Water Hole ut Night For
Big Game Brought Him in Close
Touch With Huge Beast.

The most uncomfortable hunting
adventure that 1 ever had, narrates
a world-trotter, was during an ex-
petition in search of the mines of
Ophir, which we did not discover, by
the way. We did very little hunting
on that trip, except such as was nee
essary to provide food for the party.
Consequently we did not disturb the
game around our camps during our
stay at any place, and the wild life
of the jungle went on freely around
us.
This made the scene at the water
holes particularly interesting, and
many times / saw herds of animals
glide down to the water in the even
ing. Sometimes we saw gnu and an
telope come down, quietly as ghosts,
though there were big herds OF
them.
Beneath African Stars.
One evening l decided to spend the
night at the water hole to watch the
strange dOings at my ease. l took
along my heavy rife, in case I should
meet a lion or other cat animal, and
before dusk | was comfortably hid
den in a thicket right by the side
of the hole where the spoor showed
that the most animals entered to
drink.
They began to arrive almost as /
soon as the sun had set. The first
animals that came were small gnu,
very pretty and graceful, despite the
ugly hump on their shoulders. They .
stepped into the water as lightly as
race horses, and, indeed, their hind
quarters resembled those of dainty
little ponies very much.
After them came herds of Zebras,
cleaning spectrally with their white
and black sides in the bright star
Eight of the African night. They
tossed their little heads and snorted
wildly at every whisper of the breeze,
and though | was watching them
closely they were off and away so
suddenly that l hardly realized that
they were going before they had van
ished.
Spring box and Gland followed
with hosts of smaller animals, many
Of which moved so furtively that l
could not distinguish them.
But all at once all the beasts
seemed to fade away like a scene
in a darkened theater | stared in
The next moment l be-
came aware of an odor close to me
that | could not mistake, for l had
smelled it often, 1t was lion, sure.
Moments of Peril
Cautiously l turned my head in the
way the wind was blowing, and there,
within not more than 20 feet of me,
crouched a great named, tawny beast.
He was watching the water hole in
tently, and the only thing that saved
me was the fact that a smart breeze
was blowing directly from him to-
ward me, and thus preventing him
from getting my scene.
Now, while l had been watching
the harmless animals | had found it
easy enough to sit perfectly still, and
/ had not made a twig rustic enough
10 brighten even the shyest beast.
But now, when my life depended
on absolute silence, | felt an insane
desire to move. l wanted to sneeze.
I wanted to cough, l wanted to
stretch my arms which began to de-
velop cramps My legs twitched and
my neck itched. | was almost una

NATURE Is BALANCED.

An instance showing how nature
makes amends for her shortcomings
IS found in the recent shipment of a
carload of babies from New York to
New orleans. The babies were little
waits that had been left with the vari-
Gus orphan homes and other charit-
able institutions of the great city. It
may be mentioned here that the sup
ply of such babies in New York seems
to be greater than the demand. So
it is necessary to send some of the
Ettle charges abroad. According to
the report from New Orleans the
shipment that went to that southern
city was cordially received. In fact
there were SO many applications for
babies that the supply was exhausted
long before the demand had been met.
To offset the unnatural or unfortun-
ate mothers in New York there We're
plenty of women in New Orleans long
ing for the motherhood that had been
denied them.
