Kill RABBITS BY WHO'D EsALE
Drive In Oregon Dlsposes OF 10000
Little Pests Within Few Weeks
81 Clubs Are Used.

Portland, Ore.-Killing rabbits by
wholesale is a favorite winter sport
in the Lakeview country In southeast
ern Oregon No fewer than 10000
rabbits have been killed off In this
way, it is estimated, within the past
few weeks.
Hundreds Of men and boys engage
in the rabbit drive They form a line
extending across the prairie several
miles, while Dummies are driven in
one general direction until they find
themselves between two lines Of
hunters, and the only escape is into a
pen, where they are killed with clubs.
No firearms are used in the hunt
Were 1t not for this method Of ex-
terminating the rabbits. they would
destroy the crops of the farmer in
that district. Coyotes kill large num-
bers OF rabbits and between the two
enemies the pests are kept down to
a comparatively small number.
a recently announced project was
to establish rabbit cannery near
LakevieW and put the meat Of the
slaughtered hares up In tins for sale
chiefly In foreign countries, where
rabbits are highly priced for food.
There Is now q tremendous waste Of
the meat, only few Of the killed rab'
bits finding their way into the Port.
land markets and practically all the
remainder are not used at all.
= livery winter when the farmers
have plenty OF leisure time to kill the
rabbits, they are slaughtered in very
large numbers, and 1t appears that
the meat and skins could be put to
profitable use. The supply seems in.

MINERS TRYING EXPERIENCE

To have been almost buried alive
and forced to keep in one position for
20 hours on end was the trying
experience of George Hill, a miner,
at Peak Hill. N. S. w Hill with two
others, had to put in a shot, which
caused slide. He was carried along
with the earth into an old working.
His mates got down and succeeded in
removing seven feet Of earth from
his head, but they found 1t dangerous
to continue, as the earth was liable
to come in and smother them. They
decided to put In a drive at the back
Of the $50 foot level. After II hours
of hard work they opened the
wall at his head. It then took three
hours to remove. the debris away to
get him out, the greatest care having
to be exercised to prevent the loose
stuff smothering him. A rope was
attached to Hill, and at last he was
pulled out amidst the hearty cheers OF
his fellow-miners

a CHURCH FOR sVvEETHEARTs

A novel plan is that OF Rev. John
Thompson, pastor Of a Methodist
church in Wheaton, ILL.,. to induce
young sweethearting couples to do
their counting in the church pews, in
stead Of repairing to Objectionable
ice-cream parlors, etc. He will allow
young people to stay late, with big
room and piano in part Of the church
and 100 pews In which they can sit
at their ease.
There is no better place IN the
world for young persons to do their
counting In than a church. said the
pastor. II believe in matchmaking
that is, the right kind of matGhma-
king. think that every CHURCH
should make provision for upright
young men and good young women to
meet, and should arrange matters SO
that they could fall In love with each
other
."This talk about dinners at lobster
palaces expensive seats at theaters
and other places is mistake. A
good girl, who really loves a man,
does not want to see him make fool
of himself when he is counting her
any more than she wants to see him
do so after they are married.

the plan adopted by c. Pullman, OF st,
Louis, doubtless establishes a prece-
dent. Mr. Pullman, young man OF
education, crossed the Atlantic in the
first cabin with some $4,000 in cash
to meet the expenses OF short SO
journ in Europe. He had neglected
to secure his return passage. His liv-
ing expense in London and Paris
proved higher than anticipated, and
the Atlantic presented formidable
barrier to his return home Mr.. Pull
man was obliged to forego the lux

spee1er of potatoes on the President
Lincoln. By crossing in first cabin
and returning in the scullery, Mr.
Pullman doubtless established a new

Public Likes idea and New Hosiery
Will Be Largest In World-con.
tains 1000 Bedrooms and Has
Roof Garden.

London.-When Sir Joe Lyons, Eng
lands newest knight, opened a. big
hotel on The Strand about is months
ago and announced that there would be
90 tips in the new hosiery, most old
Londoners laughed. They predicted
that within a year either the servants
would be accepting tips In the time
honored way or the hotel would be
closed.
Neither has happened. The hotel has
not closed and the no-tipping system
has proven such a success that the di-
rectors are going to build the biggest
hotel in England and probably In the
world, where the same system will be
practiced. It will contain 1000 bed
rooms, and its total dimensions viii be
over 10000 cubic feet. It will have d
large roof garden-an innovation in
English hotels-fne smoking and BILL
lizard rooms, libraries, and, in fact,
every modern convenience.
What the exterior of the building Is
to look like has not been quite de-
clded, but from a hint dropped by Mr..
Salmon it may be assumed that it
will be distinctly impressive in ap-
pearance
The site intended for the hotel is the
Old world neighborhood which lies be-
hind Regent street and Piccadilly cir
GUS It Is within a few seconds walk
Of each, yet a quieter or more easily
gettable spot could hardly be imagined.
A number of very interesting old
buildings will have 20 be demolished
to make room for the hotel. and a
whole block Of houses will have to
come down. In one Of the streets
which are going, the undertaken who
made Nelson's Aboukir coffin had his
shop, and a number OF other venerable
old business places will disappear. The
cost OF the site has probably been
high, as great many leases must have
been bought up.
The rates at the new hotel will be
six shillings night (s1.50).

Quite" was the answer.
The servants themselves seem to
consider the system a success from
their point of view. for Mr.. Salmon

Many people here are Of the opinion
that such places rs their hotel are
quickly bringing about the death of the

reason that If for price SO low one
can get all the high-class hotel com
forts not many are going to remain in
the boarding house.
