DEAD PIG SAVES LIVES
OF PYTHON'S KEEPERS

New York.-A dead pig prevented
a disaster in the reptile-house at the
Bronz geological gardens today.
when Kaa, the twenty foot regal py-
thon, escaped into the runway back
of his cage.
Head Keeper Charles Snyder and
four men were moving Kaa with a
sack over his head into a new cage.
The hindmost keeper showed Kaa's
tail into his new abode, and the
others pushed each armful of snake
In after. Kaa was all in but his head.
This was the critical moment, for
when the sack was removed the snake
lashed out at those who had been
holding him.
AS Snyder snatched the bag away
the man holding the head made a
desperate effort to push 1t into the
case. but failed. Instantly the snake
flung itself outward into the three
foot passage.
The keepers tried to run, but were
jammed tightly together. There was
every chance Of the snakes getting q
twist on one of the keepers and crush
ing out his life.
Snyder saw one chance. Ten feet
away lay a box containing the body of
a pig. provided for the python's next
meal. Snyder snatched up the pig
and threw it before the lashing head
of the snake.
Kaa reached for the carcass and

Pioneers to Tell Story.

McMinnville, Ore.-The Yamhill
County Pioneer association at its
nineteenth annual meeting this week
appointed a committee consisting of
Judge Ramsey and Judge Galloway,
both of this city, to gather data for
complete pioneer history Of the
county. This will embrace the period
from the earliest settlement Of the
county by white men in the early
'forties" to the present data. There
are about 200 members enrolled in
the Pioneer association, the majority
OF whom were children who accom-
panied their parents across the plains
to Yamhill county in the early decade
of Oregon's settlement, and the lack
of a published record Of local hap
penings relating to the pioneers has
created the sentiment demanding that
such a history be compiled.

SMALL Farmer HAS
CHANCE IN NORTHWEST

There is not another industrial open
ing in the Pacific Northwest for the
man of small capital and family,
ike gardening, growing small fruit
and in limited quantity, larger fruit,
says the Portland Telegram. Especi-
ally in garden produce Is the region
short. High prices now prevail, be-
cause the supply is below the demand
while the influx of population Is
much greater than the increase OF
production in the vegetable lines.
Several reasons have contributed to
the shortage. One is the indifference
of the average farmer to garden
work. Another is the lack of organi-
zation, which would protect the pro-
ducer against commission men and
wholesale produce dealers combines
Still another has been the failure OF
the local men to establish standards
and brands, which would have a fix
ed market value, and to live up to
these with rigid severity, like the mod
ern fruit unions.
That the soil and climate have an
unsurpassed value for garden pro-
duction cannot be questioned. That
the market is here, with highest pri-
ees known to all the good agricul-
tural communities is also patent. TIC
get class of gardeners here who
will take advantage of these favorine
conditions and bring their vegetables
up to the same high state attained by
the fruit men, is the work of the best
promoters of community prosperity
II is this condition which makes tbs
garden enterprise one of the most in.

Washington. July 25.-A caucus Of
Democratic senators has been called
for tonight to consider the wool tariff
revision bill, in the hope Of harmon
lzing the difference on that legisla-
ton. Whether the Democrats shall
assist in the passing Of the La Fol-
lette bill is still the bone Of conten-
ton.
The new cotton bill submitted today
to the caucus of the house Democrats
from the ways and means committee
cuts from the equivalent ad valorem
rate Of ..48.12 per cent under the
Payne-Aldrich act to average ad val
orem rate Of 27.06 per cent. Under
the Wilson bill of 1894, the last Demo
cratic tariff, the average ad valorem
rate was 43.76. Under the proposed
rate the committee estimates the i'm
ports of cotton goods for twelve
months at $39 ,163. 800 against SIS,
411, last year, and that duties derived
under the new act for the year would
be $10,599, 900 as against s13,673,s01.

sponse to questions from Lorimer's

culosis and would sell them. The
witness then told the story about the
Fireproof Magazine. He declined to
answer whether any other names were

ed them, but later sent word he would
