tie and each shot is composed of
three pounds of dynamite, preferably
60 per cent, and of the Aetna brand,
made in Chicago.
We selected iirl: = line extending
about two miles in length. The firing
stations are fifteen in number and To-
Gated about 229 yards apart. We have
santlng shield built at each sta
ton; this is to keep the dynamite be
hind and protect it from occasional
flying pebbles.
We use two men at each station,
and the man who fires goes out from
rs to 100 yards and places his pun
die of dynamite sticks (siX in mum
ber) on the ground, with the cap and
fuse already attached; he lights the
fuse and then goes back to his shield.
We insist on men wearing cotton
in their ears otherwise they get a
headache. We also have them Oil
their hands with some crude oil or
yaseline; this is to revent a curious
headache which some times arises
from handling dynamite.
There Is no regularity in the firing;
we allow the boys to shoot as fast as
they get their bundle of sticks placed
in position and the fuse lighted. You
should use three minute fuses.
The men will disdain cotton for
their ears at first, but you had bet
ter insist upon them using it, other
wise some of them get splitting head
aches and don't like to serve again
When you get ready for battle
you had better watch the hygrome-
ter until you get something like 60
per cent humidity. We have pro
duced rain when the humidity was
less, but you will get better results If
the degree of humidity is high.
Don't be afraid Of the expense, for
good, heavy natural rain is worth
more than you can possibly pay out
for the dynamite necessary to produce
It.

WASHINGTON, ID, O., June ID
The department of state has prepared
translation from German authority
regarding the production and increas-
ing use Of petroleum. This German
review Of the petroleum industry Gov
ers a wide field. and is useful as in
dicating the opinions OF German au-
thorlties regarding the increasing use
OF petroleum throughout the world.
This translation as prepared by the
state department is as follows:
The English coal strike has brought
up the question of how and to what
extent coal can be replaced by liquid
cOmbustibles or other sources OF
power, The most favored countries
in tbs respect are probably the Scan
daniNian, possessing, as they do, in
their waterfalls great source of
power Lately II has been found that
method worked out by a Swedish in
ventor of firing locomotives with pull
Nerized peat is practical and ecOnomi-
cally just as advantageous as coal.
However, the use of these resources,
water power and peat is confined to
certain countries. 1t is different with
petroleum, which is one of the gener-
ally available products OF the world.
in America in 1911 was approximately
$4,000, 600 barrels. In Russia the
the slackening of the output of the
wells in the Baku region became de
.cidedly apparent last year, showing a
decrease from 478,0O0, 600 to 427,-
000, 600 pools (57,3S2,953 to b1,.
260, ,504 barrels). The total production
Of Russian petroleum declined as
compared with 1910 by $4,000, 900
poods (6G sos, 60S barrels). Roumania
produced in 1871 somewhat more
than 100000 tons G0,7S5,O00 bar.
rels), and exported about 700, 900
tons (5.O33,OO0 barrels). AS is wen
known, the industry IS carried on al
most exclusively witt. foreign capital,
only 100000 of the 2S0, 900, 600
marks ($G6, 10000 employed being
Roumanan. Germany controls 5S
per cent Of the total capital.
If coal shall be replaced by petro-
leum to considerable extent II is
clear that energetic measures will be
necessary to provide suitable ships
for the colossal transportation which
may be expected. In England there
are being built at present not less
than forty-tiye tank steamers with
500, 600 tons loading capacity, but the
demand for petroleum is increasing to
such an extent it hardly can be salts
fed. England, for instance, imported
last year 343,00O,000 gallons (S,166.-
667 barrels). or 100000 gallons
(523,S10 barrels) more than in 1910.
The way in which these increasing
amounts Of petroleum are being used
may be gathered from the fact that
the imports Of Illuminating oil have
decreased 20 per cent, whereas the
imports of petroleum come from
America Russia being second, and
Roumania third.

SUFFRAGE BIG TOPIC AT
MEET OF WOMEN'S CLUBS
Federation is Unable to Keep 1t Out of
Convention at San Fran
cisco, Cal.

San Francisco, Cal, July 3.-The
woman suffrage question is looming
large in the convention here of the
General Federation of Women's Clubs.
1t seems certain that the advocates of
the cause will force the issue from
the floor of the convention, probably
on Friday, when the delegates come
to the consideration of the report of
the board of resolutions that have
been submitted for approval or rejec-
ton. There still remain two days in
which resolutions may be sent to the
board, but it is said to be unlikely
that the woman suffrage advocates
will submit a resolution on the subject
to that body, as they will prefer to
take it directly to the convention, and
thus avoid possibility of an adverse re-
port by the board.
The conservative delegates believe
that as an organization the federation
cannot indorse any issue that does not
properly belong to it's work, which is
along educational lines. The indorse-
ment of suffrage would inject into the
convention a political issue.
The question will have bearing on
the election of the new president, and
the advocates of suffrage have been
busily pursuing their propaganda and
seeking to enlist as many of the hest
tant delegates as possible in favor of
the candidate who would give the
most positive assurance Of giving sup
port to the movement.
SO important has this phase of the
campaign become that the two lead
ing candidates for president felt i'm
PEELED to issue statements defining
their position in the matter.
The proceedings of the convention
were of a routine order, the report Of
the credentials committee, report of
the council, an amendment on the
question of interfederation by Mrs.
Harry L. Keefe, Walthill, Neb., and
