GOV HAS Io3 MILES
OF TELEPHONE LINE HERE.

In this district of Uncle Sans
forest domain there are 1O3 miles
OF telephone line maintained and OPP
Grated entirely independent OF the
other lines, though connecting with
the Mountain States office here.
This telephone line extends over
much of the mountain territory of
the district and not infreQuently it
requires much labor and expense to
keep it in perfect order. Just now
the line is out of repair in two or
more places and force of men from
the Delta forestry offices was sent
out on Tuesday morning to make re-
pairs in the cedars.
On completion of this work the
force will proceed to the district
known as the Well, where further
repairs will be made. The line is OF
great service to the forestry men at
all seasons OF the year, and they
naturally have an interest In keep
ing 1t ready for use.

KERNOHAN RESIDENCE BE-
ING UNDERMINED BY RIVER
Force of Men at Work All Wednes-
day Night Dismantling the
Place.

A force of men was kept busy
from the early morning Wednesday
until O'Clock yesterday morning,
taking out the windows and doors
and removing all other movable
parts of the handsome two-story
brick residence of ]. P Kernohan.
located about one-half mile below
the Gunnison river bridge in North
Delta, and but twenty or thirty feet
from the main current of that
stream.
The Kernohan home and little
tract of land is a trifle higher than
other places in that section CT North
Delta and it has heretofore escaped
the usual spring rampages of the
Gunnison but this year the force of
the stream has beaten against that
point upon which stands the beauti-
full home with such continued force
that the soil has been undermined
from the river bank to the residence
and evidences of the probable col.
lapse of the property became clearly
apparent the first of this week.
The family began removal of their
household goods on Wednesday and
are now trying to save the mater
ial by tearing down. The Kerno-
hans are now temporarily quartered
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Chap
man, who are residents of that Sec
tion.
The Kernohan residence was built
about four years ago and is one of
the most commodious and substan-
tial brick residences on the North
side All previous pranks of the
river had failed to damage the prop
erty and the owner had come to feel
perfect sense of safety.
What seems most curious about
this affair is that the place was
not damaged in the least during the
highest water, and now. after the
river IS practically in its banks, it
appears almost certain to be doomed.
While the water was highest the
current seems to have been forced
to the opposite bank, and now that
the flood has subsided. is striking
full force at the Kernohan place.

MACHINERY IS USED
FOR CLEANING WOOL
New Process Likely To Be Gen.
orally Adopted In the Textile
Industries.

London, June 1S.-An invention for
the cleaning of wool winch is likely to
be generally adopted in the textile in
dustries of the country has lately made
its appearance under the name Of
"Youltenizing." The process is a re-
markabie n in hat it excludes all
chemicals: the raw goods, wool, wool
waste and cotton materials being
cleaned entirely by mechanical means.
Demonstrations Of the new process
have been carried out, both in London
and in Yorkshire. with great success,
and machines are being sent u to
New Zealand and Australia for the
same purpose.
The inventor of "~Youltenizing," Mr..
Youlten of Brighton, in explaining the
process. said that as wool contained
an amount of vegetable matter it had
to be subjected to a surphuric acid
bath. which rendered the wool brittle,
produced deterioration in fact, and
rendered it less valuable in conse-
quence. "Youltenizing' gets rid of all
foreign matter and dirt without heat,
fluids or chemical treatment, machin-
cry alone being employed.

JOHNSON CUTS DOWN
LIST OF REFEREES
-Four Eligible Officials Are Left
For the Big July 4th
Battle.

East Las Vegas, N. NJ, June IT,
Eleven names of eligible referees on
the list submitted to Jack Johnson by
Promoter Jack Curley, were scratched
from the list by the champion when
he was asked to make his final selec-
ton as to which officials he cares to
have act in the big battle here July 4.
Fifteen were on the eligible list. The
four remaining are:
Ed w. Smith, sporting editor of the
Francisco: Edward w. C%ochrane,
Journal, and Mark Levy Of Albu-
querque, N. M.
This list of four will be submitted to
Jim Flynn, and he will go over it with
Promoter Jack Curley. One of the four
will be stricken from the list because
there can be only three remaining, as
there is to be one chief and two sub
%stitutes SO that in case the chief official
is taken i'll or anything happens hat
he will be unable to act, the promoter
and fighters can pick one Of the two
remaining, and thus avoid selecting an
other list and going through the red
tape Of cutting it down.
hnSO said:
II am satisfied with any one OF the
four men l have left on the list. I
consider Ed Smith one of my best
friends; Jack Welsh is a capable ref
cree, as he has worked in the ring ', It'll
me: Ed Cochrane is an experienced
man and will suit me if Flynn prefers
him, and Mark Levy, I understand, is
capable Of dealing the decision

river without coming out to inquire
the couse of the delay.

Explains Member Of Poker
Party In Chicago.

Chicago, June 1.-THE wives of sew
eral national committeeman and lead
ing politicians attending the republican
game early last week in a quiet room
in the Congress hotel.
Gradually it grew into auction whist
with stiff stakes. Yesterday they
turned it into o~ld-fashioned poker,
taking off the limit and tossing it into
Michigan boulevard.
Rumors of big game" nave run
about the lobby Of the Congress for
several days.
One woman, a charming society
leader in an eastern metropolis, and
the wife of n Of the convention Of
ficers, let the whole story out when
she handed a bellboy a poker chip in
stead Of a quarter for a tip, n mas
much as she played fair and told the
story, it would not be fair to mention
her name.
In attendance at the game yesterday
were wives of two western senators,
the wife Of one Of the officials Of the
national committee, the wives Of three
eastern politicians Of note, and one
charming little Chicago woman who
has one much toward making the
stay of the visitors in Chicago pleas
ant.
It's Just a friendly game, you know"
said the woman informant. "Of course,
there is not limit, because it is no fun
to play with a limit. If there Is a low
limit, o know, they always call, and
one can't bluff. Only one wonan lost
very much, n she can afford it. She
had lots of fun"

TO FIRE over BORDER
Mexican Rebels Claim Troops
Are Being Recruited On
American Side Of Line.

Ell Paso, Tex, June 1S.-Mexican in
surrectos would not hesitate to fire into
American territory from Juarez il any
troops recruited by the Mexican fed
eral government on American territory
attempted to cross the Rio Grande here.
Col. Pascual Orozco, ST., father of the
rebel commander in chief and head Of
the Juarez garrison in this way, re-
piled to the demand of Col. e. q.
Steever, commander Of the department
of Texas, hat no rifle shots or bombs
or shells must cross into the United
States from Juarez at any time.
Col. PaScual Orozco stated that while
he would direct his men to avoid as far
as possible firing into Ell Paso in case
of fighting, yet if any men recruited, as
he alleges, in Ell Paso by E. C. Llorente,
the Mexican consul here, composed the
attacking force, he would feel justified
in giving his men no instructions.
The Mexican government officials
deny that any force has been enlisted
by them on American soil.
The arrest of General Campo, who is
one of the few rebels, it is said. whose
aim is to help the poorer classes. is be-
lieved to have placed Orozco in jeop-
ardy with his troops. Sixty picked men
left Juarez for Chihuahua today to form
a personal bodyguard. No fighting oc,

guarded the factories here besieged by
striking laborers that conditions were
comparatively quiet this morning.
Although clashes between the guards
and strikers were frequent yesterday

cept Sheriff Bollschweiler, who was

Six men are under arrest charged
with carrying concealed weapons and
melting to riot.

strikers won a bloodless victory at the
plant of the Atlantic Terra Gotta COM
pany, where the officials compromised
upon their demands. Two hundred and
fifty men returned to work.
While the main body of strikers was
,nassed at the refinery. there were
minor disturbances in half a dozen
other scattered locations. In some
cases the strikers fired upon the
