ANTLERED DEER N
REIGN OF TERROR
OPEN SEASON SENDS HUNDREDS
OF NIMRODS INTO WILLIS
FOR ANNALS.
HEAVY SLAUGHTER EXPECTED
Beautiful Fall Weather Sure Pro-

Romeo of the Forest.

That velvet-footed Romeo of tho
Wild, the antlered stag, is experience
ing his annual reign OF terror Be-
ginning Tuesday the crack OF the RI
fie in the gray dawn preceding sun
rise began to lay many a beautiful
and graceful creature in death upon
the following autumn leaves. And
1t is maintained by the old hunters
and the ranchers who live in the
deer country. that these shy animals
have learned to be more wary OF
man, to freeze into piece Of seem
cry then the hunter sees them not,
to run with maddening ease and
swiftness out of the range of an un-
certain rifle.
With the magnificent fall weather
reported from all parts of the Hills,
the hunters are packing camp kits
and oiling rifles; they anticipate a.
week or two of bracing, balmy au-
tumn weather, a few days of recrea-
ton in the Hills: when the sky is
the scrub oaks blazing red and yell
law with patches Of yellow grass be-

they will have their victims practi-
cally staked out, corralled, hog-tied.

a leap, and it will all be over.
But the beautiful weather in the
hills the past few weeks, welcomed
by the tenderfeet, is the surest pro-

fall of the last few days the deer
will struggle down into the lower
valleys. Or else they will stay in
the high. inaccessible, places, on the
hills above the timber where the
wind blows cold and strong all day
long, and where the leisurely hunters
dislike to climb.
The deer are increasing close to
the larger cities where they have
been unmolested for years.
Bear and mountain lions are very
scarce, especially the latter. The
packs of hunting dogs are cleaning
them out.
The mountain lion, skulking cow

one. They are the easiest of all ami

IOWA CANDIDATES FELT
ON D0LuvER SUCCESSION
Funk. Smith. Gaist, Byels, Carroll
and Dawson Among the Pos
sibilities Considered.

Des Moines, Iowa, Nov. 2.-There
is not republican candidate for the
Legislature who has not been approa'
ched directly or Indirectly, by letter
or otherwise, with regard to his per
'sonal preference for United States
senator to succeed Dolliver. Already
letters have gone out from here to
secure, in an official way, if that is
possible, some expression from the
candidates.
Those who have been studying the
political map have tried TO reduce
the list of senatorial probabilities, by
a process of elimination, and in SO
doing have just about figured it out
that the list is as follows:
A. B. Funk. Spirit Lake, many
years in the senate.
James A. Smith, Usage, state SEN
ate leader.
Warren Garst, Coon Rapids. form
er governor and long time senator.
II. w. Byers Harlan, attorney
general and former speaker.
B. F. Carroll Bloomfield, COVER
nor and former senator.
A. F. Dawson. Preston. member of
congress and former private secre-
tary to Senator Allison.
Out of the list the successor to the
late Senator Dolliver will be selected
it is thought No matter what may
be the desires of the political mana
gers the people are doing lot OF
talking about the senatorship. The
trend of gossip runs this way:
Governor Carroll is almost certain
to take up Immediately after election

set price per thousand board feet for
the timber and conforming to what
ever regulations are stipulated in the
interest of the forest Pending the
disposal of this fire killed timber, flu
ture sales of green timber from the
National Forest which were badly
burned last summer will probably be
greatly restricted, if not entirely sus-
pended.
Since the amount to be disposed of
Is doubtless more than can be mar
keted in any event. and since 1t is
better for the country that the TIM
her should be utilized than that 1t
should go to waste in the woods, the
price at which 1t will be sold will
be lower than would be asked for
the timber under ordinary circum-
stances. Generally speaking, Secre-
tary Wilson does not regard it as a
wise public policy to sell off the Ma
tional forest timber except when II
is in reasonably good demand, for
the country is sure to need the sun
ply badly later on. But with the
fire-killed timber It IS a case of now
or never. Consequently there is an
unusual opening for lumbermen VINO
are ready to buy National Forest
stumpage at bargain.
How much of the billion feet
which was either burned up or kill
ed in Montana and northern Idaho
can eventually be salvaged is of
course impossible to predict. If it
were all total loss, and if the
stumpage value were put at the av-
erage price at which National For
est timber sold last year, it would be
the equivalent of money loss of
about fifteen million dollars
1t is believed that last summers
fires either burned up or killed one
or two per cent of the total stand Of
National Forest Timber. At the pres
ent rate of cutting from the National
forests, billion feet is equal to
IL years supply; but it is less than
one-sixth of single years out of
the entire country, or enough to
keep all our lumber mills busy for
something under two months.

SAFE CRACKING GETS
RUDE BODY BLOW

Washington, D. c., Nov. "A
sad blow is IN store for the safe
cracking industry as the result Of
the discovery of material that will
resist the acetylene blow-pipe. In
police and burglar circles it has been
an accepted fact that when a bur-
slar had an opportunity to apply the
fierce flame Of the blow-pipe to any
kind of safe, the looting was,
thereafter, matter of only a few
minutes.
Now the blow-pipe burglar is to
be foiled and the way is told by the
United States Consul, Albert Hal
stead, stationed at Birmingham, En-
gland. In describing a test made to
prove the remarkable qualities of
the ecetylene defying material Hal
sted says:
"A safe-door section had been
built up Of two sheets of half-inch
steel, with layer of this resisting
material between. A drill was first
employed, but while it easily bit it's
way through the outer case when the
drill was withdrawn, after five min
+! utes application, all the edge had
gone from it. In fact, it had been
ground perfectly smooth
Next the ony-acetylene blowpipe
was brought into play, the cone of
intense light giving off heat of g.
300 degrees F. and exerting pres
sure of SO pounds to the inch. AL
most directly the steel covering the
region Of the drill hole became in
candescent. Then came shower Of
white hot particles. and the metal
began to bubble over like n miniature
crater, but as soon as the outer steel
had been burned away and the inner
material had been reached the blow
pipe 'back-fred and was extinguish-
ed
| thine after time it was relighted,
but after second or two's applica-
ton it was put out of action. The
material In fact proved absolutely in
Vulnerable, and when the blow-pipe
was examined the cone was found to
have been completely burned away.
This was the first time in the discov-
erer's experience that such a thing
had happened and while affording
convincing evidence of the immense
heat employed it also provided con-
vincing proof of the resisting power
of the new material Indeed. when
later the blow-pipe was played on q
slab of the material it simply reach.
ed a glowing heat, while strangely
enough, 1t was sMbdued Immediately
an extra jet of oxygen was put on.
i This is quite contrary to usual ex.
lperience. for the extra oxygen Is EN-.
lployed for cutting purposes.
II when the blow-pipe was with.
drawn the sign of its application
was slight unevenness on the surface
A similar application would have
, been made to a cut Of at least foo,

KEEN INTEREST
IN CUBAN ELECTION.

w dSuluSlOll, -. ", NOV. 4.--Olll-
cial Washington is considerably in
terested in the results of today's cleo
ton in Cuba, the first to be held I'M
der the administration of President
Gomez and the second to be held by
a Cuban government without the in
fiuence of American control. In ad.
dition to half the members of the
lower house Of the national legisla-
ture municipal officers in all cities
and towns are to be elected.
The victory Of one or another of
numerous political parties which
have tickets in the field is not looked
upon here as Of SO much Importance
as the effect that the election may
have upon the future tranquility of
the country. When the campaign
opened last summer, there existed a
general feeling of despondency in
regard to the prospect of a peaceful
election, and this feeling was inten-
|sitied as the campaign progressed by
the continuation of the schism be-
tween the Miguelists and Zavista fac
tions of the Liberal party, and the
frequency with which political meet
ings broke up amid fierce fighting.
Recently, however. reports from the
island indicated subsistence of ex-
element, and apparently a DISPOSE
ton Of the warning factions to get
together.
The first Cuban election, that o.
1904. at which President Estrada
Palma was elected for second term,
was confessedly carried by fraud.
which fact led directly to the revo-
luton of August, 1906. the over
throw of the Palma administration
and the second American interven
ton, which continued under the gov
ernor generalship of Charles E. Ma
COON until Gen Jose Miguel Gomez
| who had been elected president at
the election held in 1908, under the
direct supervision of the American
officials. was inaugurated president
of the restored republic a year age
last January. That election was con-
Quoted peaceably and without fraud
The contest at the polls today will
show whether the administration OF
President Gomez is competent tc
| guarantee the people of Cuba a SINH.
larly unimpeachable election. There
is no doubt. according to advices re-
ceived here, that President Come,
has been putting forth every effor
to prevent fraud and disorder. The
situation. however, Is complicated
by the large number of political par
ties, which has led to bitter faction
al animositieS. In Havana alon,
there are no less than five parties IL
the field. In addition to the Miguel
istas and the Zayistas there is
negro party, labor party and an in
dependent liberal party. Then ther,
ARE the Young Cubans, modelled, 5,
| its leaders say, on the young Turke,
Iparty, and still another faction
which might be termed the anti-Am
erican party. which has for its objec
the elimination Of the hated Plat
amendment from the Cuban constitu
ton.
