BUILDING DAMS

The development of the lumber in
dustry on Grays Harbor has in many
ways revolutionized the methods of
logging. A few years ago, a man
would go in the woods with a few
yoke of cattle, pull some logs to the
river and float them to market. To-
day, a large equipment is found nee
essary; railroads are employed, and
to get the logs to those roads, arti-
fetal freshets must be created in the
shallow streams. ~
This course of development called
for men with special knowledge
Of dam building, and, of course,
they appeared. In Aberdeen, r..
c. Turner, the proprietor Of
the Hotel Turner, is easily
the dean. He has probably built
more dams than any man in West
ern Washington, and has the pleas.
ure Of knowing that those he built
held water-and their place. Mr..
Turner left this morning for Hump
tulips to build a dam for the War.

Co. on the Wishkah river, to erect

the corner of the building. Bystanders
claimed no warning was given by the
car, which they say was running at
fair speed.
Napier saw the danger and attempt
ed to stop the team, but it was i'm
possible, though the marks of the
horses's shoes on the pavement show
ed their effort to check themselves.
Unable to stop the team, Napier
swung them toward the bridge, hop
ing to dodge the car. The effort fail
ed, however, as one of the horses
went down under the car, and was SO
badly injured it had to be shot. Napier
was thrown and badly bruised. He
was cared for at Gilletts drug store
and went home, but reports in the
afternoon were that his injuries are
not dangerous.
Prominent men at the scene yester-
day declared they would start move
ment to have street cars stopped on
the approaching side of street in
place of after crossing it. They de-
clared accidents have been barely
averted before and said this one
would not have occurred If the car
had stopped before crossing the

PUBLIC WARNED
OF LAND FRAUDS
Forfeited Lands Of Oregon
Railroad Are Not Open
for Public Entry
MANY BEING DEFRAUDED
No Disposition Of Lands Can
Be Made Until Congress
Takes Action

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 1.-Ad-
vices to the department of justice of
attempts to perpetrate wholesale land
frauds upon innocent people through
out the entire West, especially in Ore
gon. brought forth vigorous warn
ing to the public today by Assistant
Attorney General Ernest Knaebel. De-
signing and INSCRIPTIONS persons, de-
clared Mr.. Knaebel. are making false
representations to the people for the
settlement, which is impossible at this
time, of more than 1000, 900 acres of
the so-called Oregon & California rail-
road lands which the United States
district court of Oregon recently ord
cred forfeited to the government on
the ground that the railroad had vio-
lated conditions of it's grant. AS the
company will appeal, the issue will
not be settled until it reaches the su-
preme court, and even IL the govern
ment ultimately is successful, Mr..
Knaebel added, no disposition can be
made of the lands until congress. pass
es special legislation for that purpose.
Seeking Location Fees
Representing that the lands can be
procured, those engaged in the alleg-
ed fraudulent scheme are said to be
obtaining location fees for their serv-
ices.
The public is also being induced,
Mr.. Knaebel said, to make applica-
tions to purchase from the railroad
company in order to acquire prefer
ence rights of purchase. The South.
ern Pacific railroad, controlling the
Oregon & California railroad, has is
sued a warning that no money will
be accepted by the company and no
preference granted pending 'the~end
of the litigation.
Prosecution Of those guilty of the
frauds has been placed in the hands
of United States Attorney Reames of
Portland, Ore.

JUMPS TRACK;
NARROW ESCAPE
Serious Accident Narrowly
Averted at Hoquiam
Last Evening

HOQUIAM, Aug. 5.-By bare mar
gin of no more than eight inches,
what must have been a serious acci.
dent was, averted at 6:15 o'clock last
evening, when Hoquiam-bound street
car No. S jumped the track on the
west approach, of the Eighth Street
bridge. Had the car gone eight inches
further before being stopped it GER
tainly would have turned sideways
and backward off the lower side OF
the bridge and fallen to the mud 81
feet below.
The derailment was due to bad
joint in the rails at the city end OF
the draw. The rails do not meet even
ly and when the car struck this joint
last evening the wheels of the rear
truck did not hold to the track, bu;
climbed the rail. The rear truck
swung to the left toward the river
and before the car could be stopped
had carried the rear end sideways
through the bridge railing 80 feet or
SO of which was carried away.
The forward left hand wheel of the
rear truck was stopped in the middle
of one Of the planks which extended
out for the rail braces. The wheel
was about a foot outside the decking
of the bridge while the rear wheel
Of the truck barely hung on the main
planking., A few inches further and
the truck would have dropped and II
would have been almost certain to
throw the car over the edge of the
bridge. ..,
,, As the car came to a stop a wild
rush was made for the doors by the
passengers, and so great was the pan
ic that one woman in her excitement
attempted to jump from the car on
the river side. No one was injured
The car was put back on the track
about o'clock.

QUEER BURIAL SERVICE.
How ALBANIAN Islanders Protect Their
Dead From Evil Spirits.

How ALBANIAN Islanders Protect Their
Dead From Evil Spirits.
Strange is the burial service among
the ALBANIAN islanders. Ii is the Gus.
tom of the islanders TO drop the bodies
OF their parents into the sea at the end
of ropes and leave them there until
nothing remains but the bones. which
they then gather and hang from tue
roofs of their buts
IL is a common custom for n relative
to sit by the hour and watch the bones
OF some relative. This Is the way they
have of showing their love and respect.
The bodies are treated In this fash
ion so that the evil spirits cannot tease
and pinch them. All that is left are
the dried bones. aud these are placed
high SO that IL the evil spirits wander
into the huts they will have a hard
time TO ind them. IL bone Ii carried
away IL means some bad spirit has
seized IL. and this means that some
terrible calamity will befail the fam
lily.
In the Katanga district OF central
Africa when a chief and his wife dies
there is great feasting aud celebrating.
Some of these festivals last three or
four days. After the bodies are laid
to rest with dancing and rejoicing
because they are going TO rule over
a higher sphere their relatives and
friends do not depart until they leave
one or more chairs and n supply OF
clothes. This Is done because the souls
are expected TO come out and wander
about their graves.-chicago Tribune.

FLOATING GARDENS.

They Have Thorn Anchored With Liv-
ing Hedges In Mexico.
The Imagination of man has always
been impressed by floating islands. In
ancient times such islands were re-
garded with superstitious reverence,
and the romantic story OF Delos--the
natal isle of Apollo and Artemis-is
but one of the many cases recorded In
classical literature of vagrant islands
In the sea.
Pliny says that in the lake Of Vadi-
monis there is a dark wood which is
never seen in the same place for a day
and night together, and he describes
the islands called Calaminae Il. E..
''made Of reeds'0, in Lydia, which were
not only driven by the wind, but could
be pushed about from place to place
with poles.
Floating gardens-some natural and
some artificial-haye flourished in many
parts of the world from early times,
They are particularly advantageous in
regions exposed to foods. where gar
den planted on terra firma would be
ruined by these occurrences. while the
floating garden IS undisturbed by the
rise of the waters. The famous hoat-
ing gardens of Kashmir are case in
point.
The lake of Xochimilco, near the
city of Mexico. is nearly covered with
floating gardens. called chinampas. on
(Which are raised vegetables and dow-
ers for the city markets, They are
formed of floating masses of water
plants, covered with soil and secured
by poplar stakes. The latter take root
and surround the islands with living
