 Learn intended Victim Was Dead.
 Ell Paso, Tex. There might have been tragedy here If William Berry, an aged Georgian, had not found upon his arrival that man he had come nearly 2,OOO miles to kill had been killed five years ago.
 Berry, trembling with anger and dis appointment, told his story to the po- lice and returned to his Georgia home.
 Nine years ago in Oklahoma. he said, Bill Harrell had testified against him in a perjury case growing out of Der " having witnessed the killing of two men over a land grabbing dispute. Berry says he was sent to the peni- tentiary on Harrell's testimony, his family was scattered. his farm lost and health wrecked. He was four years in the peniteDtiary. he said, and for the past five years had been reunit- ing his family and home ties, nursing all the while determination to some day kill Harrell, who. he had learned. had reached Fl Paso.
 Five years ago Harrell attacked an Fl PasO newspaper publisher. J. r. Mitchim, and Mitchim killed him.
 Berry knew nothing of Harrell hay. ing been killed until he reached Fl PaSO.

Farmers Can Make Them Pork Only
 by Shooting.
 Ben. Ark.-G. B. Lewis. farmer living near this place, killed two wild hogs which ran away from his place in 1910. The hogs were not full grown when they left and went away to the range. since when all efforts to get them had been futile until recently. when he found them in the forest and shot them at a distance of about 100 yards. He has three more hogs that are also in the forest.
 The hogs go in punches in the woods and are as hard to find and kill as a deer.
 They are afraid of men and will run from them, but have no fear of dogs and will attack chem. The two hogs killed by Lewis dressed about 200 pounds each.

fore that ume it is known, she had ! dabbled in swindling in a small way | lt was the Bahbitt deal however | that first brought her into promi- | nence Mr. Babbitt had been robbed ! a short time before of more than half a million dollars by employees. Mrs. Peck represented herself to tbe soap manufacturer as woman de- tective and asserted that she had in- formation which would lead to the recovery of much of the stolen proper ty. After Mir Babbitt had paid in in- stallments s19,OOO for her "informa- ton" he found that it was valuless. . After her arrest and indictment she had herself adiudged insane and coul- mitted to an asylum in Philadelphia. As soon as the danger of further pro. secuuon was passed she regained her reason and was released In later years Mrs Peck was frequently arr rested. But she has served few pri- son sentences. In 1885 she was sent up for four years for obtaining S3,00O by forgery from a life insurance com pany. In 1905 she was again sent to prison for swindling a Chicago man ont of a large sum. At that time it was estimated that her swindliug op- leratons had aggregated S1,0O0,000. The late Inspector Byrnes spoke of her as "the best woman in her line that l ever knew" When past eighty years old she was again sent to Au- burn prison for swindling a firm of promoters in this city. In December 1911, Governor Dix committed her sentence of ten years on the ground that he thought she was too old to be menace to society. But the Govern or was in error. evidently, for old Ellen intends to play the game to the end of her days. judging from the rec velauons in connection with the re- cent Mexican transaction.
 A novel and remarkable feat of re-
 moval involving tho transportation of two completely equipped canning fac
 tories from Brooklyn to the bleak shores of distant Kamchatka, a pen insula of the Siberian coast, is being
 carried out by a New York company, in an expedition which is now under
 way and scheduled to arrive at its destination early next month. The
 acknowledged supremacy Of the
 United States in the salmon industry has long been a source of envy to the
 Russians and Japanese, but hitherto
 they have left them behind in the
 worlds markets. Some time ago two
 delegations from the Orient visited
 the Pacific coast Of the United States
 with a view to finding some method of
 cheapening the cost of preparing sal
 mon for the consumer, hastening the
 packing during the season, and doing
 away with the salting of fish which
 was required in packing them in bar
 rels, and which made them far less
 palatable. As a result of the visit the
 Brooklyn firm received an order for
 two complete canning factories.

 BERLIN, July IA view recently expressed by the British Admiral. Sir Percy Scott, that the development of submarines and hydroplaues made dreadnoughts and large cruisers obso- lete has caused much discussion in German naval circles. So far as their public utterances go German naval ex perts unanimously reject AnmIra. Scotrs view.
 The German Fleet Society has pro nounced itself decidedly against it, and now Admiral won Breusing has published an article taking the same position. He admits that the subma- rine has recently made great progress and now exceeds the hopes that were at first held for it; and he also admits that the means of protection against the submarine had not been develop ed at an equal pace Nevertheless the submarines range of activity is a lim- .Ited one. Even if it should put the . dreadnoughts out of commission in short-waters the latter would still be needed for operations on the high seas, where as yet. nobody expects that the submarine can venture owing
 to its constant need to replenish sup plies.

BERLIN. July 4.-Did President Me Kinley cable to Admiral Sampson dur ing the war with Spain Don't risk a single ship; War with Germany i'm minent'?
 A writer who uses the pseudonym of Carolus AdolpLus, anu v.ho is under stood to be a former prominent diplo- mat. declares u lat this dispatch was sent. following in closely on the Dewey-Diedrichs dispute at Manila. The statement Is made in a book entitled "Julechen in the Land of Lib er,v" which consists of series Of letters describing a trip to America One of these letters describes the Manila incident and continues:
 "The question is what did our dip- Iiomats have in mind in sending a fleet? IT 1t had been merely a matter of protecting Germans life and prop ertv .an armored shn would have been sufficient. The truth is how ever. that we really intended to grab the Philippines if possible. since We were badly informed and believed that l Americans did not want them. This mistake O fours was strengthened by the then ambassador in Berlin, MT. aAndrew White He is believed to have
 held the opinion that bgoccuDying the Philippines the United States would simply be thrsti2g a fishhook into it's own skin-and he was not SO far wrong and he expressed this opin- ion. howbeit quite unoificially in ] Wilhelmetrasse, although he later de- Ip,ed officially that he had said any thing of the kind.
 on any event, the sending of one
 fleet to the Philippines provoked
 great displeasure in America espec
 iauv since Washington knew or oui
 plans. | recently made the acquaint
 ance of an American officer who had
 been the adiutant of the commander
 in-chief in the Cuban campaign This
 officer. who spoke excellent German
 told me that he still had copy of @
 telegram from the then President Me Kinley direct to the commanding ad
 mral in Cuban waters. which read

PANAMA, July 4-To further safe guard public health the Canal govern meut has proposed to the Panamanian Government that the numerous coach and livery stables in the heart of Pan anna city be concentrated to one loca- ton where they can be readily super vised and cleanliness maintained.
 The plan is for a large public stable in one O fthe out lying districts under tlre direct supervision of the Panama Railroad to accommodate all the coach and car animals in the city Stalls and parts of the building will be rented to the owners of these animals as also will space in another building for ve- hicles. This will do away with prac- tically every private stable in the city.

You never read of French football or

nation of individualists. brilliant in

To the Observers:

offer to publish communications sart
in by your readers. | read last Sun
day in the Portland papers glow ing
accounts of the electrifcation of the
Southern Pacific line completed to
McMinnville, also of the Portland
business mems excursion over the
line on Saturday and / could not help
but feel that there must be something
radically wrong with the Dallas Com
mercial Club to sit quietly without
protest, while the same road gives to
Dallas and Polk County some very
poor service. In your paper recent
ly you published very hattering
report of this club that looks good
on paper but as an old resident, |
take different view. No town in the
Willamette Valley has shown such III
difference in the matter of t1ransporta-
tion facilities as has Dallas. Inde-
pendence is doing something along
right lines; its citizens are using the
river route and the Oregon electric
to Portland, both for passenger and
freight traffic. Portland papers stat
ed that more than $500 persons cross
ed over from Independence to reach
the Oregon Electric durin" the month
just passed. Dallas and Polk
County can likewise show their lis
approval of the S. P. by availinc
themselves of the Oregon Electric
whenever possible. Concerted effort
along these lines will bring to Dallas
her due-better transportation facili-
ties. Other cities Disseminated

A Tall Story.

The long leggedest man we know is
our friend II. Bingham Palmer. He
can take steps above five feet long, in
spite of which he is devoted to horse
back riding.
Recently he came into the office to
chat awhile, and we noticed that he
limped.
"Corn?" was asked sympathetically.
"NOpe-accident," he answered, as
answers one who doesn't care to talk
about something. That aroused our
curiosity, and we couldn't help showing
it, probably. for he sighed and con
fessed:
81 was ridin' through the park Mon
day. and l was just ridin' along and
ridin' along and not thinkin' of any
thing in particular. and my foot slip
ped out of the stirrup."
