INSTRUCTIONS INVESTIGATED
Two Places Found in Pine Creek Where
Salmon and Trout Cannot Cross.

Edgar Averill and a. /. LaDow,
deputy game and fish wardens, were
in the city Tuesday and went out to
Pine creek to investigate the causes
for 6sh not ascending that stream.
They went out in Claud Stems big
Franklin automobile, accompanied by
Mr.. Steen. Heury Barrett and Marion
Hansell.
The principal obstruction encount-
cred was fall feet high. The fall
is caused by baok-was of soil and
the only remedy to boost the fish up
stream Is to build a raceway around
the falls. The raceway would entail
considerable expense and whether the
expenditure would be justitlable, de-
pendei on whether there is suffici-
enc number Of fish entering the stream
from the Walla Walla river. Further
investigation will be made by the war
dens before this fact can be establish
ed.
There is another fall on the Wash
ington side and MIR. Averill has taken
the matter up with the Walla
Walla anglers association, with the
result that fish ladder has been estaD-
lished there.
The fall examined by Mr.. Averill
and party disclosed a discouraging
state of affairs. The food waters have
tackwashed tho soil to the extent that
no permanent work can be done in es-
tablishing fish ladder. and to give
the fish passage over the obstruction
would necessitate the construction of
fishway around for distance of about
100 feet To keep the soil from fur
ther QUITTING away and injuring two
irrigation ditohes directly above the
obstruction, fiume has been built to
carry the water over the bank. The
water runs through this and drops
nine or ten feet into deep hole in
the creek bed, making it utterly i'm
possible for fish to pase upstream.

heated to 2 degrees its volume will
be 275 cubic inches. Likewise, IL the
original volume be cooled degree be-
low the freezing point Of water It's
volume will be decreased by one cubic
inch and become 272 cubic inches.
For every additional decrease of
degree the volume will contract one
two-hundred and seventy-thlrd part of
what 1t was to begin with, so that, If
the cooling Is carried far enough, 1t Is
easy to see that at 273 degrees below
the freezing point Of water the volume
will become nothing.
The volume Of gas Is due to the
real volume Of Its individual particles,
together with the volume of the spaces
between these particles. At ordinary
temperatures these particles are In
swift motion But for every degree
Of cooling this motion Is sackened,
and the paths of vibration become
shorter. This motion continues down
to 273 degrees below the centigrade
zero, where the motion has entirely
ceased and the paths of the particles
are infinitely short. OF course the gas
under consideration at -273 degrees
will have volume due to the sum of
the volume occupied by the molecular
particles themselves.
This 273 degrees then Is the abso-
lutte zero. 1t is the point Of molecular
death. No heat is there, no energy
and consequently no motion. Matter
at this point Is entirely motlonless
within itself.
The thermometer scales of the world
should be based on 1t as the logical
starting point. The freezing point Of
water, which Is zero on the centlgrade
scale, referred to the absolute scale Is
--273 degrees, while the freezing point
OF 80 on the Fahrenheit scale is 1904
degrees on 1t. The ordinary tempera-
ture of room is about 08 degrees f.,
or 527.4 degrees on the absolute scale.
On the same scale summer heat Is
about 558 degrees F.
The zero Of absolute temperature
has nearly been reached In the prepa-
ration Of solid hydrogen gas and liquid
helium. The temperature of liquid
hellum Zone Of the rarest of gases Is
only about A degrees above absolute
zero, so that the individual particles
Of liquid hellum have almost become
motionless. Probably In the near
nelghborhood of absolute zero this gas,
which is the only one that has not
been solldlfled, will become solid and
represent matter In It's state Of molec-
ular death.AW. @. Dumas in Chicago

Brown Is CAPTAIN.

When the directors Of the Walla
Walla Ease ball club in the Tri. State
league met Tuesday TO cut the salary
list down to $1,000 month, White,
who has been oaptaining the team
from the bench, was released and r.
i. Brown, captain of the Athena
pannant winners of last season. was
given charge of the team. White is
with the LaGrande team. The change
is one that has been favored by Walla

The Postmark.

Great Britain, 1t Is said. can, with
out fear of contradiction, claim the
honor of having originated the post
mark. The first one. which was used
In London as long ago as 1860, was
very simple affair. consisting of a
small circle divided into two parts.
In the top portion were two letters
indicating the month, while In the
lower half the day Of the month was
shown. No endcavor was made to de.
note the year, and It is only by tho
dates of the letters on which the mark
Is impressed that 1t is possible to fix
the date Of Its use.-London Standard.

NAVAL MILITIA TO
Be D|s0RGAN|zED
| WEST ANNOUNCES PURPOSE TO
CUT USELESS EXPENSE.
Organization, Which Has
Been In Existance a Year
Costs $500 Per Month.

Following Governor Vests abolish
ment of the office of superintendent at
the state prison in the interests Of
economy, he now proposes to disband
the state naval militia which is cost.
ing tie taxpayers of the state $500 a
month.
'Unless showing can be made to
justify its existence ty friends of the
Oregon Naval Militia, the organiza-
tion will be disbanded so days from
date. "
This announcement was made by
Governor West and is the second chap
ter in his campaign to trim and abol-
ish unnecessary and fruitless expend-
itures OF Taxpayers money. He gives
assurance that succeeding chapters
will follow with surprising regularity.
"Ihe law creating the organization
went into effect May 20, 1911, and it
has cost the Taxpayers for 10 months,
June J, 1911 to April 1, 1919, about
$13, 900, an average monthly cost of
about $780," said the governor. "As
the hill creatilg the organization car
ried an appropriation of $25, 900, there
is still remaining an unexpended bal
ance of about $4,000. This amount
will be saved il the organization is
disbanded."
The naval militia has been in al
most constant turmoil since its organ
ization, either over the election of
officers or the conduct of officers and
the men on the cruiser Boston, which
was assigned by the government for
the use Of the militia and has been la
Portland haYboY.
Adjutant General FINER. chief ex-
eoutive officer of the Oregon National
Guard and Naval Militia, is in entire
accord with the announced policy Of
Governor West to disband the naval
militia at the end Of 30 days unless
there is in the meantime a big i'm
provement in the conduct of the offic-
ers and men of the organization,
II have known for some time" said
the adjutant general, 'that the gov
ernor was seriously considering dis
banding the naval militia. The or
ganization has been in turmoil since
it came into existence one year ago.
The officers have been Fighting and
scrapping among themselves and the
men naturally have little respect for
the authority of their superiors. An
other trouble. which has bothered Us
all along, was the unwillingness of
the officers of the organization to sub
NIT to the authority of the naval
hoard. We have had trouble in en-
forcing discipline in tha organization,
hut this condition has improved some
what during the past 60 days. In fact.
the naval militia as a whole is in bet
ter shape than it was a few months
ago,
81 am confident that the governor
would like to retain the states naval
organization, but know that he will
put it out Of business If every man
connected with it doesn't at once turn
over new leaf and help to put the
organization on much higher plane
than it has ever been.

THE LIMIT OF cold

Few people have any definite Idea
Of the meaning Of absolute zero.
When temperatures or degrees Of heat
are mentioned 1t Is natural for most
people to think of these degrees as
given on the household or Fahrenheit
scale, with its freezing point at 80 de-
grees and its boiling point at 212.
The space on the Fahrenheit thermom-
eter below the freezing point Of water
is divided into thirty-two equal spaces
down to zero. The other thermome-
ter scale In common use Is the cent?
grade scale, with its boiling point at
100 degrees and its freezing point ut
zero. The zero points on these two
scales are not the zero of absolute
temperature or absolute zero, but are
only two relative points.
Temperature as used and spoken Of
In ordinary practice is only relative
and Is measured In reference to two
points-the boiling and freezing points
Of water at sea level But science
and scientific investigation requires
another scale for Its measurements,
which has theoretically correct zero

lutte scale, with Its zero point 273 de-

AN ARMY OF PECCARIES.
Fierce Fighters Are These Tusked Wild
Pigs Of South America.


The peccaries Of South America are
formidable because they attacked their
enemies in large bodies and with great
vigor and bravery. The method and
skill Of their charges suggest that they
are led by chiefs skillful enough in
predatory warfare to direct the sur
rounding and destruction Of powerful
Jaguar.
The object to be stormed is surround.
ed in silence by circle of hundreds Of
peccaries. At given signal stimuli
taneous swapping Of teeth occurs,
which Is followed by converging rush
toward the center. The largest and
strongest reach the front first, and the
smallest and weakest bring up in the
rear. Those In front are pushed on by
the mass in the rear, so that the enemy
is constantly confronted by a rank OF
foes, no matter how many he may
have disabled.
An American engineer while survey
ing Brazilian forest for railway
route encountered herd Of peccaries
one night and with difficulty drove
them Off. His experience affords an
illustration OF the bravery Of these
wild pigs.
One day he and his party came upon
a morass. the furrowed ground, trod-
den grass, turbid pools and pigsty
odor Of which indicated that 1t was the
headquarters Of all the peccaries in the
vicinity. But not pig was to be seen.
The camp was fortified. In the night
there came an alarm. Suddenly from
oil around rose the sound OF simuita-
neous swapping of teeth. and then
came the charge Of hundreds of black
animals rushing toward the fort.
Guns were discharged, and the occu.
pants reached down and slashed with
their knives at the swarming pigs be-
low. Numbers of these were cut down

horn would happen along and beg to
be tried out. It.afforded Mr.. O'Rourke
and Mr.. Wolcott great deal Of inno-
cent pleasure to try them out-plenty.
On one occasion a large walnut color
ed man came, hat in hand, to O'Rourke.

O'Rourke said that would be easily
done If the caller was as good fight
er as he believed himself to be. But
he'd have to be tried out first. The
stranger said he was willing, and
0'Rourke called Wolcott. Take this
man out In the GYM" said he. "and
try him out"
The pair fiddled and fenced about
for awhile. Then Wolcott got his
chance, whanged that right hand over,
and the stranger bounced three times
before he came to rest. BY and by he
walked up to find O'Rourke bending
over him. "Mebbe Ah'd make pret-

he hopefully.-Cincinnat Times-star.
