THEY SLEEP AGAIN
Resident OF Conduit Street
Did Not Use ChIOrOiOrm
GROWING ROOSTERS' FINISH
How II Was Possible To Curb Tie
Judas Biped

On Conduit street these NIGHTS the
residents sleep soundly. Undsturbed
by any sounds not in strict keeping
and harmony with the needs of Nor
pheus the sleeply sleep and wake
not, even TO the shrill buzz of the
morning alarm clock. No longer are
their slumbers disturbed by barnyard
sounds which, in the past turned night
into saturnalia of sounds whlch has
made sleep all but Impossible.
Such has been the disturbance in
the past that practically all of the
residents have lost their religion and
there exists n splendid field for, the
missionary to lead the erring ones
back into the fold. This sad state of
affairs was all due to. and brought
about by chickens Just plain, common
chickens, but the scene of riot. blood
shed and imprecations which thev
produced would have provided mater
ial for the yellowest Of yellow papers
A we'll known-resident of that street
is the proud possessor of bunch oC
chickens which is largely composed
of roosters. Suddenly, and without
warning, the roosters started on a
regular jambOree of Growing. Early
in the night they would start and not
until the sun was high in the heavens
the next morning would they desst
from ther self-imposed task of greet
ing the daylight. Sleep was out of
the question. and many articles which
could be little spared were hurled i'm
the direction of the growing bipeds.
Night after night they took up their
song and three cats of the neighbor-
hood were hushed to silence, retired
on their laurels and forced to take "a
back seat. At last the owner of the
chickens was appealed to. He was
threatened with arrest, bodily harm
and the sure humiliation of his fam
lily or the next four gnerations.
Device after device and plan after
plan was tried without success and
the roosters crowed on. Lights were
kept burning in the chicken house
at night, but they only served to in
tensify' the volume of sound that
welled forth As the chickens did a
considerable amount of scratching i'm
the garden in the day time. their toes
were amputated, but it only seemed
to accentuate their desire for night
music.
At last their owner hit on plan
which has solved the problem and
made it possible for the residentR of
the street to enjoy good sleep lie
provided himself with a large number
Of elastic bands, and now, each night
at chicken retiring time he fastens
one about the beak Of each and every
rooster. In the morning he again
visits the roost and removes the bands
Now the only growing done by the
roosters is in the day time and every
body is happy

Town of Ryan Destroyed.

Spokane, Wash, July 2O.-Beyond
control, forest fires today are racing
toward the British Columbia bound
ary from Norther Idaho and Wash
ington, devouring all in their paths,
threatening mountain villages and the
lives of the inhabitants.
Some of the fires are new, while
others have been burning for several
days.
The little town of Ryan, Wash, was
swept away yesterday, according to
reaching to reports reaching here.
The town was in Stevens county, on
the Colorado. river
The fire district in Washington ex-
tends from the west bank of the
Colorado to Canada, and from Boss
burg to Marcus. In that district q
sheet of flame Is miles in length is
rushing through the dry timber near
ly as fast as man can walk.
During the night a stiff breeze fan
ned the flames and aided the fire 20
lay waste several thousand acres OF
splendid forest.
Meanwhile hundreds of employees
of the government of timber compau-
les and citizens of various towns have
been fighting a hopeless, desperate
battle to stop the fires,
Although they know that rain is
their only hope, the fire-fghters con-
tinue to battle doggedly against the
advancing wall of fire.
Thousands of acres of timber are in
ashes, and indications are that thou
sands more will meet the same fate
before the fires burn themselves out.

Idaho Forests Ablaze.

Wallace, Idaho, July 20.-The Big
Pine creek fire still RACES, and, while
reinfJrcements have been sent into
that section of the st. Joe country,
and by the county commissioners at
Wallace, the flames are still far from
being controlled.
The fire is burning in townships At
north, range 2 east, and AZ north,
range 1 east, all Of which is owned by
homesteaders fom Wallace and sur
rounding towns.
This is said to be the best timber in
whole section. The forces now fight
ing the fires are greater than ever be-
fore. Word from Pine creek last
night says that there is some hope
that the flames may be controlled be-
fore night.
Nearly 12 miles of trenches have
been dug, and the fire practically ex-
tinguished on the north side.
Deputy Fire Warden Davis, who
just returned from the scene, says
that If the present dry weather con-
tinues there will not be enough tim
Der left in the country to build a

Government Takes Action.

Vancouver, B. c., July 20
Meager reports continue to reach
Vancouver of fires raging in the heart
of British Columbia and general or
ders have been issued by the govern-
ment forest department and railroad
officials to take all precautions pos
sible to prevent its further spread.
From Nelson, B. c., it is learned
that fires continue to destroy timber
and other property in various parts
of Kootenai, though some have been
brought under control. The Kaslo
district is probably the worst suffer-
er. Powers lumber camp is COM
pletely destroyed, with large
amount of cordwood, logs and shingle
bolts. several teams also being roasted
to death. At McGuigan tdl cars were
burned on the Great Northern rail-
way and several bridges have been de-
stroyed and hundred thousand dol
lars worth of lumber burned.
Many miles of twisted steel is Wis
ible along the Kootenai and Sandow
branch of the Great Northern rail-
way. Sheep creek is also enveloped
in flames.

for help, rescue trains were sent from

SOL"
RESPONSIBLE
FOR WRECK

Sacramento, Cal, July 90
That expansion of the rails due to
the heat of the sun and the result
tant buckling of the steel was the
peculiar cause of the wreck Of the
Oregon express on the Southern Pa
cific at the Feather River bridge
near Marysville on Monday, in which
three railroad men lost their lives,
is the official explanation of the ac-
cident as given out by the company
today. No blame attaches to any
employe of the road.
The evidence showed that the
train was running at four miles an
hour. The weather was unusually
warm. During the entire morning
the rays of the sun were storing up
heat in the rails. The approach I'd.
the bridge, which is being newly
ballasted and raised, is three per
cent down grade, The rails had
probably been punched" or crowd
ed together owing to expansion.
This punching" was aggravated
when Engineer Congdon's train came
down the grade toward the bridge
with the airbrakes holding the
coaches in check. 1t ia believed
that the rails must have kinked out
of line by the heat just a few feet
ahead of the locomotive.
The engine then climbed the
guard rail on the bridge and plunged
to the river bed below. Not a
spike was drawn from the rails and
this is held as conclusive proof that
the theory advanced by the company
is correct.

Seattle In Pail Of Smoke.

Seattle, Wash, July 2O.--Long dis
tance telephone lines into the district
where forest fires are burning are all
down today, and a heavy pail OF
smoke continues to hang over the
city.
The fires in the immediate vicinity
of Seattle are burning principally
logged-off land, according to a state
ment made by the Washington Forest
Fire Association today. The principal
danger lies in the failure to check the
flames.
Reports sent out last night of 4
fire near Bothell, on the north end
OF Lake Washington were exaggerat-
ed. The sawmill Of the Montana
Lumber Company and several thou
sand feet Of timber were destroyed
