Dynamite Fails
TO Kill Man

Seven sticks of dynamite failed to
kill Bert Bowers of klamath Falls,
who was preparing a charge at the
Harris crusher the other morning,
when II exploded. According to the
klamath Falls Northwestern, 1t is
hard to account for the explosion, as
Bowers was tamping the charge with
a wooden stick instead OF a metal
one. He believes that a piece of rock
came loose from the side of the hole
and rubbing against the flinty walls
discharged a spark which exploded
the seven sticks of dynamite. Other
workmen soon removed the rock from
the ill-fated foreman and after hav-
ing his wounds dressed he was able
TO walk the streets.
II mirecles ever happen Bowers
certainly thinks he was saved by one.
The only thing that saved him from
being torn and mangled, he thinks, is
the fact that the hole containing the
dynamite was six feet below the sur
face and the major portion OF the
charge was downward.

The Test of Character,

But responsibility is the great char.
acter developer. and very few Of us
really know what we can do until we
are put to the test. The market is long
on men who can take orders. but short
on those who can intelligently issue
them. Responsibility requires n GER
tain amount of initiative-the willing
ness to act when occasion demands
and the courage to fail under honest
effort and take the consequences. OF
course you may fail. but you can't tell
whether you will succeed unless you
try. and having tried to the utmost of
your ability and failed is better than
never to have tried at all-better he.

Children May
Ride Little Hip

The greatest bill put on by the
Vining will be the vaudeville acts of
Little Hip, the trained elephant baby,
and Napoleon, the trained chimpan-
zee. Thursday afternoon the chill
dren will be given ride about the
stage on the back of Little Hip dur
ing the matinee.
Little Hip has been taught marvel
GUS feats. At all times, moreover, it
is evident that he is not going
through his routine from force of
habit, but because he has been edu-
Gated, and he plans what he is going
to do just as if he were human.
Napoleon is without peer as an en-
tertainer, and his clever tricks keep
his audiences in an uproar of merri-
ment. He is recognized as the fore
most simian performer in America.
Manager Johnson has arranged for a
special children's matinee Thursday,
July 23, at 2:30, when Little Hip and
Napoleon will play hosts, and while
Napoleon receives the little folk Lit
tie Hip will carry them about the
stage on his back.
Napoleon loves applause and the
more the people applaud the more he
is willing to do. Once in while the
calm and dignified director thought
it time to put stop to some portion
of the fun, but in so doing he lost his
dignity.
To see Napoleon on roller skates,
using Little Hips tail to give him
added momentum, and winding in
and around about beneath his legs
to avoid being caught, is one of the
funniest things ever seen. OF course,
they do other things, hundreds of
them, and the extraordinary thing
about it is the evident enjoyment of
the two animals and the affection
that seems to exist between them.
Many Ashland people saw this per-
Torrance in Portland and pronounce
it the best vaudeville stunts ever
seen.

Sale Of Bonds
Tuesday Night

The city council will meet in regu-

night for the consideration of the sale
of the water development bonds and
routine business.
Several special committee meetings
have been held within the last two
weeks, dealing with department mat
ters. Under the operating policy of
the council details of the departments
are largely conducted through the
regular committees, thus relieving
the tedious work coming up on the
floor of the council. This plan has
greatly facilitated the transaction of

fered for two photographs-one
Of the largest tree of 2 nut-bear-

and one of the largest broad-leaf
tree which does not bear edible
seeds. In the first class, for ex-
ample, are included trees such as
chestnut, oak, walnut, butternut,
and pecan; and in the second,
trees such as elm, birch, maple,
cottonwood, and tulip poplar. No
photographs of con e-bearing
trees are wanted, since it is de-
finitely known that the California
bigtrees have no rivals among
conifers. At a later time the as
ISOLATION may take up the same
question as between the various
kinds of conifers, as pines, frs,
spruces, cedars and expresses.
The purpose of the competition,
as stated by the association, is to
find out in what regions the ma
tive trees attain their largest
growth, and under what condi-
tons they thrive. best. When
these large trees are located and
the measurements authenticated,
the association hopes that it may
be possible to secure seeds, cut
tings. or grating wood from
thrifty trees in the region where
they grow, to see whether finer
specimens may be propagated in
other parts of the country.
1t is hoped in this manner to
g e t some particularly choice
strains of native trees established
in regions where good specimens
are not now found.
