Monarchist Agitators InCite
Fight in Streets Of
Lisbon.

LISBON. Portugal, July g. The
monarchistic party's activity against
President Braga and his regime seems
to have come to crisis. Disorder In
Lisbon and Oporto has become wide
spread and very threatening. The
Government has ordered troops to the
Spanish frontier, where trouble IL mo-
mcntarily expected. The Spanish peo-
pie are opposed to the Bragg Govern
ment Ex-King Manuel's friends are
supplying the enemies of Braga with
funds.
Plot Is Discovered.
TUY tSpain) July Sit was learned
here today that the Portuguese Gov
eminent has dispatched several thou
sand troops to the northern frontier,
following the discovery of n plot there
to restore the monarchy. The conspir-
acy Is said to have originated among
certain officers of the Portuguese army
at Valenua Dominic, just across the
border from Tuy.
Fighting Reported.

established, which should serve as a
basis for studying future growth
"The object of this report Is to
bring together and correlate the in
formation obtained in regard to euca-
lyptus on The various islands and to
outline system of forest manage
ment for planted groves. Since most
of the systematic tree-planting on
these islands has been done only dur
ing the last decade, and few stands
are now more than five or six years
old, not enough data are available at
present to forecast with any degree
of certainty the exact financial re-
turns that may be expected, but the
information obtained indicates very
clearly that a number of species of
the eucalyptus can be grown at a
good profit in many places on the Ha-
waiian Islands.
Need Of Local Timber Supply
"The Territory of Hawaii. with its
extensive sugar plantations, camps,
fumes, tunnels and irrigation bitches,
uses large quantities of timber and
lumber. No complete statistics on
this Subject are available. but the fol-
lowing figures may be considered as
quite conservative. There we're dur
ing the last three or four years used
annually in Hawaii over forty mil
lion board feet of sawed lumber and
timber, $4,000 cords of firewoOd,
10000 to $4,000 railroad ties. 25.000.-
900 shingles and 10000 to $4,000 fence
posts. This annual consumption of
wood represents q value to the con-
sumer of at least $1,500,000. With
the more intensive development Of the
plantations, the increase In pOpula-
tion the development of irrigation
systems. homesteads and small farm
ing. and the further extension of
roads and power lines, the consump-
ton of lumber will constantly in
crease. The problem of finding an
adequate source OF supply of wood
becomes, therefore, of paramount i'm
portance to the future growth of the
country.

Because the goblet blends
In harmony the minds and souls,
The wit and mirth of friends.
He sarg not Of mere wines delight,
Albeit rare and fine,
But fellowship that's brought to light
Where unmasked natures shine.
Yet had he, poet of all time,
But glimpsed this fruitful hour.
He might have voiced in witching
rhmye
The joys of rare Rum Sour.
And never turned from sports and
arms
To sing in lifting line
And celebrate the subtle charms
OF old Falernian wine;
But would have walked with ardent
Tyre
A song of matchless power.
And set the very woods af1re
In praise of blest Rum Sour.
No draught distilled by winners eld
On vine-clad Sabine heights,
Was ever in such favor held,
Or fraught with such delights.

the Plaza Hotel at $4,000 a year, the
largest sum ever paid by any man for
an abode. He offered at one time to
toss coins at $4,000 : throw with group
of Southern gamblers.
One of Gates heaviest losses was IN
1905 when an attempt was made to corr

millions against the Armour millions.
and the Armour millions won! How many
millions were lost by Gates was not
known. Like a good general, Gates re.

bore his financial punishment without d
whimper.
