WORLD FAMOUS
TENOR IS DEAD
Death Stills Caruso's VOice-Opera-
tiOn for Peritonitis Unsuccessful
Was Thought Better.

Naples, Aug. 2.-Enrico Caruso,
world famous tenor, died here Tues
day.
Enrico Caruso, the celebrated tenor
whose voice was stilled by death Tues
day in Naples, Italy, was operated on
Sunday, says an Exchange Telegraph
dispatch from Naples to London. Mon
day afternoon Caruso was extremely
i'll, heart weakness necessitating the
injection of camphor every two hours.
The operation, the dispatch says,
was for an abcess between the liver
and the diaphragram, which caused
acute peritonitis. Caruso's wife and
his brother are at his bedside.
The tenor was, until week ago, on
the way to recovery from the long i'll
ness which began in New York last
winter in the operate season when
suddenly he had an unexpected re-
lapse and was removed from Sorrento
to Naples.
He arrived at Naples Sunday night,
adds the message, and the specialists
who We're called in decided to operate
Immediately.
The last work received from Naples
was that Enrico Caruso was improv-
ing nicely and that his voice would
not be permanently impaired by his
illness.

CAMP GROUNDS
AT STATE FAIR
Visitors Will Have All the Free
Advantages of Tourist
Camp.

A new idea of Chester c. Davis, COM
missioner of agriculture, who has en-
tire charge of the management of the
Montana state fair, is expected to aid
materially in the attendance at the ex-
position this year.
The idea of preparing camping
ground in the southwest corner of the
state fair grounds was put into motion
by Mr.. Davis and large force of men
is now busily engaged in clearing the
space set aside for the tents of the
tourists.
The state fair offices report a great
amount of interest in the camping
grounds and many inquiries have been
received regarding it from all parts
of the state A pamphlet is being
prepared giving the details and attrac-
tive facts about the "tented city,
which will be mailed about the state
during the next month.
The camping grounds at the fair will
have telephone and electric light SER
vice, a delivery of mail each day dur
ing fair week and facilities for the
purchase of all SUPPLIES necessary.
81 am pleased to note" said Com
missioner Davis, that the tourists
camp idea is meeting with such in
stant favor. It's appeal, however, is
virile one, lending to the state fair
trip an element of vacation. l be-
lieve it will have tendency to bring
whole families to the fair and that
the associations and good time at the
tented city will be one of the valu.
able recreational features of the ex-
position"

Washington, July 1S.-Operations of
the shipping boards fleet for the fiscal
year just ended resulted in a loss of
approximately S380,000,000, Chairman
Lasker of the board announced today.
This deficit was greater by $280,00O.-
900 than previous estimates from of
ficial sources and was made follow
ing an examination Of all board ac-
counts.
The governments venture in the
merchant marine business last year
involved a total expenditure of $780,
100000 as far as could be ascertained
from the boards books which Mr..
Lasker described as in bad shape. The
new chairman estimated that it would
cost the government S300000,000 to
carry on the operation of the fleet
this year.
It's Amazing.
In stating that an examination of
the books showed that S3S0,000, 900 had
been expended from the public funds
of the shipping board last year, Mr.
Lasker said that this revealed an
astounding case of absolute deception
to the country and congress-"
"The president was astonished and
dismayed that such a condition could
exist when l laid these figures before
him this afternoon but he wanted me
to give the public facts" he added.
Total expenditures over receipts ap.
peared to be approximately $3.50, 900.
1000, Mr.. Lasker said, instead of $99,.

A FINE SHOW

rived from Glasgow Tuesday in time
to put on the free picture show at the
city hall Mr.. Stebbins expected to
reach Thoeny so as to spend the after
noon with the business connected with

gram. There was especially good
crowd from Jordan Basin. The pic
lures were mostly instructing along
the line of agriculture and featured
the advantage of treating seed with
formaldehyde, yet there was lot OF
comic scenes which kept the audience
in a happy humor.-Thoeny Review.

SNIPE ARE SCARCE
SAYS IOWA MAN

A young man from Iowa whom some
local sports took out snipe hunting
last Tuesday night, is not enthusias-
tic about this outdoor form of recrea-
tion. He was out until two o'clock in
the morning and did not get any
snipes: he says he saw plenty of the
birds during the day, but none of them
got into the bag he was holding for
them to roost in. The boys here say
that the night was so windy they re-
fused to roost, and that he will have
better luck when he tries it again.
Another trip is being arranged for.
