EXPLOSION KILLED "sPRlNGs.
Chicago Loses Her Entire Supply Of
Young Poultry.

Chicago-Commlssion merchants anC
housewives have wondered why ne
spring chickens were coming on the
market and the reason has been ascer.
tained. When the Dupont powder
mills at Pleasant Prairie, Wis, blew
up last December, the explosion
wrecked buildings for 25 miles in
every direction and was felt as far
east as Cleveland, o., and as far south
as St. Louis.
At that time much attention was
given the destruction of property, but
no thought was given the hundreds of
thousands of hens for a radius of so
miles in every direction, who left
their nests in terror and wandered
about in distress for hours.
The hens finally went back to their
task of Matching out broilers and
spring frys" for the Chicago market,
but the vibration had destroyed the
vitality of the eggs. The few chicks
that were Matched were deformed-
feathers turned the wrong way, wings
and legs out of joint and altogether
grotesque and bizarre assortment of
freaks.
Not only were the eggs in process
of being hatched destroyed, but other
eggs, later placed under the hens for
the second and third consignm ents for
the market, turned out just as badly,
for this reason no genuine spring
chickens are coming on the Chicago
market except from the West and
South.
The market here depends largely
upon Wisconsin and Northern Illinois
for its "springers, but they do not
exist this year.
In setting up the damage claims,
The adjusters took stock of wrecked
broken windows, twisted
.rees and all that, but had no know
edge, at that time, of the damage to
he commission houses and palates of
Chicago.
Two months ago chicken farmers all
through the district reported that the
'ew chickens being Matched were de-
ormed, but the matter was treated as
joke at that time. After a thorough
by agents sent out by
he commission houses, it was admit
ed that there was no joke about it.

Japanese Busy Clearing Land.

DEEM. Moyoka, Japanese orch
ardist has purchased 13 acres ad
joining his home place, which he viii
begin clearing at once. He has AZ
acres in trees and plants. Five acres
of trees will be in bearing next year
Thus far this year he has marketed
$50 crates of strawberries. He has
$4,000 strawberry plants and will plant
as many more this fall
The big flume now being built by
the Oregon Lumber Company passes
through the Moyoka tract, and will
supply an abundance of water.
The Japanese method of clearing
land of fir stumps has proved eco
nomical and effective. 1t is to dig
away the dirt from the stump, ex
posing the roots, and then pile logs
and brush on the stump. If logs
are lacking, sufficient powder is used
to crack the stump, making it more
easy to burn. No grubbing machine
is used and the saving on powder is
considerable. A Japanese who un
derstands clearing land commands as
high wage as does a white man.

JUDGE READY TO FIGHT.
Court Resents Charge He doc.
tored" Cox Papers.

Cincinnati-Charging that Judge
William Dickson had mutilated the
record of George B. Cox perjury case,
Prosecuting Attorney Avery pre-
cipitated a personal encounter in the
chamber that ended in his being or
dered to leave the room. The irate
judge is said to have offered to set
tie the dispute by personal combat.
The trouble arose when Avery and
another assistant prosecutor went to
Judge Dickson, who recently quashed
the indictment against Cox, and com
planned that the bill of exceptions
by which the state hopes to get the
case into the Supreme Court of the
state had been altered by the jurist.

DUBLIN GREETs KING.
Police Jeered and Fought. But Roy
atty Is Welcomed.

Dublin, Ireland - King George re-
ceived loyal welcome to Dublin. The
king, accompanied by the queen, the
prince of Wales and the princess Mary,
arrived at Kingston harbor on the
royal yacht Victoria and Albert.
The king, living up to his reputa-
tion, wants to see all parts of the
empire, and every phase of life in it,
and spent one of the busiest days of
his life looking over Dublin, After
attending several functions in the af-
ternoon, he drove to Phoenix Park to
see the races for the kings cup. He
arrived just in time to see Richard
Cookers Pennant win the fourth race.
Among other affairs which the king
attended was the opening of a play
center in the poorest and toughest
district in Dublin. 1t was time of
the greatest anxiety for the police.
Before the kings arrival, the police
and crowds had several encounters, in
one of which a sergeant's arm was
broken. Troops We're brought up but
were not required.
AS soon as the king appeared, the
people, who are perhaps the poorest of
his subjects, gave him by far the most
cordial welcome of the day.
Men and women who had been ieer- |
ing the police and soldiers, broke into
hearty cheers, which continued
the district. The king and
queen, although tired, showed their
great pleasure at this ovation, which
was entirely unexpected in that quar-
ter.
Welcome. We want home rule, "
was the inscription on banner
stretched outside of the town hall at
Pembroke, suburb of Dublin, which
'efused to present an address to the
King.
The lord mayor of Dublin, whose
hreat that he would present an ad-
iress to his majesty, despite the con
rary decision of the corporation, it was
cared would lead to trouble, remained
It home.

Burns.-A new town is being sur
Veyed 80 miles south of Burns. If

the enterprise. Mr. Howell. of Port
land, who came here few wears
ago purchased quite large tract of
land near Malheur Lake while land

surrounded by a good agricultural
country There is electric power on
the Bitten river which can be de-
veloped and brought to Wellington
for manufacturing purposes.
Mr. Howell is having the sage
brush removed from the townsite
There is no doubt but what the en-
terprise will be a success.

Build Mountain Trail.

Kerby-Plans are under way tc
build first-class trail from Kerby
west to the headwaters of the Chetcc
River and Babyfoot Creek, in which
region is located Higgins Golden
Dream mine. The Government has
contributed $40O to this work, and
the people of the district have do
mated generously and will donate
more.
This trail will open to mining men
and prospectors the rich mineral re.
gion to the west and will be of vast
benefit to the mining industry of the
county. The trail crosses the Illinois
River, Josephine Creek and Canyon
Creek. Bridges span the two latter
streams.

Prtneville. Next to the building of
the Oregon Trunk and Deschutes
railroads, the meeting Of the Oregon
Development League at Prineville
last week has been the greatest
thing that has happened to central
Oregon. II has cemented into closer
relationship the towns of the great
interior and made them feel one OBJ
icct In view and one only-the up-
building Of the interior as a whole
Speakers such as Thomas W. Law
son and President Carl Gray of the
Spokane, Portland & Seattle railroad
injected new enthusiasm IN the get
together movement and gave sage
advice relative to the upbuilding of
The interior. Mr. Gray made it plain
that study of the soils and condi-
tions in central Oregon must be made
and the settler posted as to results
or many would be the failures and
the country would be greatly harmed.
Land owners were cautioned not to
hold their land values too high.
At the meeting the editors of the
interior resolved to pull together for
a greater central Oregon and the
secretaries of the different interior
organizations also have joined hands
for a greater cooperation than has
been the practice.
The meeting has strengthened
greater confidence in the people of
central Oregon in the future of the

MANY ARE DIsFRANcHISED.
5000 Voters Said to Have Failed to
Pay Poll Tax.

Jackson.-According to the delinquent
poll tax lists, published in the various
county papers of the state, it is estimat-
ed that from 35 to 40 per cent of the
voters of Mississippi have failed to quail
fly, and that there will be from $4,000
to so, 900 voters cut off under the law.
The poll tax provision of the constitu-
ton has been generally ignored in past
years in some counties, but in these
counties a new registration has been
called for ana the Illegal voters will be
scratched from the rolls. The law will
be more rigidly enforced this year than
ever, according to reports, and many per-
sons who nave been allowed to vote in
past elections without paying their poll
tax will be eliminated. This will make
= heavy reduction in the vote, it is said,
as compared with the primary for United
States senator in 1907, and some of the
counties that showed tremendous votes
in the returns to the secretary OF state
four years ago viii show a greatly re-
duced vote this year.
