DYNAMITE FLOWING.
Experiment in Breaking UP Soil With
Explosive.

Explosive.
Experiments to test the value OF the
new method of farming with dynamite
we're made at the testing grounds of
Peter Henderson & Co, seedmen and
florists, near Audubon avenue, Jersey
City. n. J. The blasting was done by
agricultural experts employed by the
Du Pont Powder company. Mr. Forbes,
vice president of Peter Henderson q
Co, who is supervising the expert
ments. was present and expressed sat
isfaction at the preliminary results OF
the new method.
The experiments, Mr.. Forbes ex-
planned, were to demonstrate the ell
cacy Of low freezing explosive in
aerating subsoil and digging holes for
tree planting.
THE dynamite discharge" Mr..
Forbes said, breaks up the ground for
a considerable area around the firing
point. The resultant assures and
cracklings with their ramifications
render tenacious subsoils porous and
spongelike. thereby enabling a con-
servation of moisture. That makes
possible a greater and deeper root de-
velopment and the crops not only be-
come less susceptible to the hot dry
spells and continued droughts, but
there is an increase i'm the size and
yield of products. Also the discharge
tends to destroy soil insects. Another
advantage is found where the soil is
continuously wet. The discharge breaks
up the hardpan or clay of the sub

PLACES FOR TRYoUTs.
Olympic Candidates In All Parts Of
Country TO Get Chance.


New York, Nov. 1S.-That Harvard
stadium at Cambridge, Marshall field
at Chicago and Golden Gate park at
san Francisco will probably be the
fields picked by the Olympic commit
tee for the tryouts at which a team will
be selected to represent America next
year. That these three parks will be
the choice of the American Olympic
committee Is the opinion Of the ma
jority of it's members. For several
months representatives of the commit
-tee have been touring the country to
find the most available places for the
tryouts.
The stadium at Cambridge is consid-
cred the fastest track in the world.
Several worlds records have been
smashed there, including the classic
one mile mark hung up by Paul Jones.
Club athletes have never had chance
to display their ability at the stadium
and this is one Of the reasons that the
eastern tryouts will undoubtedly be
held there.
Marshall field in Chicago is the home
OF the Chicago university. All the big
gest meets of the middle west are held
there, and according to experts II Is
the second best track I'm the country
! Golden Gate park has been the scene
of all the prominent meets held on the
coast. 1t has a first class track and
is conveniently located for the western
athletes.

WOLVES GROW
THREATENING
HUNTERS FEAR COMPLETE Elk
TERMINATION OF BIG GAME
IN KEWEENAW COUNTY
IN FEW YEARS.

Grave fears are entertained by the
hunters familiar with the conditions
IN Kcwcenaw county that unless some
method is found to rid that county of
wolves, the time is not far distant
when the deer and other game will be
completely eXterminated. Hunters
who returned from the Lac la Belle
Bette Girls district this week report
that the wolves are increasing at an
alarming rate and are becoming very
bold Their calls may be heard almost
any time at night and quite close to
the shacks of the homcsteaders.
According to a well known trapper,
the county is infested with a species
Of wolf much smaller than the gray
timber wolf and resembling the CO.
vote. 1t is said to be even more dan
gerous than the larger wolf however,
because il moves more quickly. An
experienced woodsman and one not
likely to be unduly alarmed reports
that while driving from Copper Har-
Dor TO Mandan last week. he was fol-
lowed by a pack of at least six wolves.
They continued the chase for several
miles but as he came closer to Mandan,
they finally gave il up.
Bones of Twenty Deer.
Early last spring Jerry Lamerand,
the well known Keystone fisherman re-
ported the discovery of the bones and
skeletons of about twenty deer, where
they had gone into a yard" and had
evidently been killed by the wolves. 1t
is feared that even worse dopredations
will be made i'm this manner during the
coming winter when the animals go in
to yards"
Chris and Matt Hirsch who arrived
home this week from a hunting trip
to Lac La Belle report the discovery
Of the carcass of deer where ii had
been killed by the wolves. The ami
mai had evidently been wounded by a
hunter but that II made a fight for its
lie was evidenced by the trampled
snow and dirt. Little remained of the
animal but the bones and pieces of
the hide.
Many Does Being Killed.
Another factor which hunters be-
heVe will contribute to the final eXter-
mlnation Of the deer is the fact that a
very large percentage Of the animals
AHed so far this season have been
uoes' Attention to this fact was first
'aHed IN the columns of this paper
ABOUT two weeks ago, and since then a
Nrse number of hunters have noticel
ana called attention to 1t. II is believ-
eu mat fully ninety per cent of all the
ueer Killed this year have been does
ana lawns. This is attributed by hum
''rS TO the early opening of The season.

San Antonio, Tex. Nov. 15.-Here-
after baseball clubs and leagues must
settle all claims before January 1. or
protection of the National Association
of Professional Baseball leagues will
be withdrawn. This rule was decided
on by the board of arbitration Of the
association which convened this week.
As there arc 172 claims now out
standing the effect of the ruling will
be sweeping in its scope.

HIT WITH PIECE OF ICE.
Justice Armit While Driving Receives
Wound in the Face.


While he was driving down Fifth
street last evening, a group of boys
threw pieces of ice at Justice David
Armit, one large piece striking him be-
tween the eyes, and inilicting bad
cash. The justice drove back 10 the
group, and Intercepted them in the
hope of ascertaining which one was
the culprit. He failed, however, and
an act, which was mean in the extreme,
will likely go unpublished.
However. it has served one purpose.
Officers of the village will keep a strict
lookout for boys who are given to
snowballing persons driving or walk
ing, and If any of these boys are caught
they will be taught a lesson.

MORRIS is HOPELESS"
Critics Declare That Oklahoma Giant
Will Never Do.

New York, Nov. 1S.-Carl Norris. the
oklahoma giant. again failed to quail
~ as a real white hope on his second
trial when he went against Jack Gey-
err, the Denver stalking horse, Monday
night.
Although Morris won, as Referee
White stopped the bout in the ninth,
fans are expressing the opinion that
they might have fought until next
morning. and Morris would never have
put his man out. Geyer was helpless
after the first round, but Morris could
do nothing more than cuff him around
the ring.
As huge and ponderous rs when he
met Flynn Morris failed 20 give the
impression that he had improved at all

Distressing Accident.
Small Boy Shot by His Brother Near
Omaha, and Manned for Life.

Near Omaha on Tuesday evening,
during the absence of their fahter,
Troy and Garret Matlock, two
small BOYS of about eleven and four
teen Years, stole out the shot gun, a
short pump gun, and went hunting.
1t seems that they had gone about
mile and three quarters from
home, when they got shell fasten-
ed in the gun and in trying to get it
out let the gun go off, shooting
Garret, the smaller boy in the front
and lower part of the face. The
shot, taking effect from the left side,
tore all of the flesh loose from the
chin, broke the bones of the lower
Jaw, took out the lower front teeth,
a part of the upper teeth on the
right side and cut off the anterior
portion of the tongae. The little
fellow is in a very critical condition,
and is, no doubt, ruined for life,
even if he should live to get well, as
he will be very badly dishgured and
will never be able to talk Garret is
very nervv little fellow and has
borne his suffering exceedingly well,
and it is reported he has not shed a
tear since the accident

LITTLE Rock, April

LITTLE kOCk, April 10
Undoubtedly a great storm of pro-
test would go up all over the state
should the Legislature vote to ex-
tend beycnd May 18th, the time to
which the session has already been
extended. But with less than a
month in which to wind up the af-
fairs of state, the accumulation of
business is so large that there is no
chance for it to be finished in that
time, and there is already more than
chimney corner talk about the pos
sibilitv of a further extension.
Very few of the general appropra-
tion bills have been passed, an old
story, the only one that has reached
the governor being the bill for the
Blind School. One of the most I'M
portant, that for the completion of
the new state capitol, appropriate
ing total of $672,250, was intro
duced only last week, and will nat
urally bring on considerable fight
as anything connected with the
new capitol always has done. In
this same connection, little if any
progress has been made with the
bills introduced in the Senate pro-
viding for a settlement with Cald-
well & Drake, the former contract
ors, and bill has Just been offered
appropriating $4,000 and appowt-
ing a commission consisting of Judge
Joel D, Conway, of Texarkana, and
Ex-Governor Dan w. Jones and Hon.
George B. Rose, of Little Rock, to
agree upon a settlement with George
r. Mann. the architect who furnish
ed the plans for the capitol,
These and innumerable other mat
ters pending, when a whole day is
often consumed in the consideration
of some matter of little consequence
to the state, will be sufficient to
1
take up the time of the two houses,
and many things that are more
worthy of attention will be neglect
ed. There have been 500 bills intro
duced in the Senate and 446 in the
House, and since bills may be in
troduced up to three days of the ad-
iournment, it is safe to predict that
the total number will amount to
1900 for both houses
