Stokane, Wash., July 14.-Whi!e
swarming bees arc credited
with doing all sorts of unusual things,
probably this is the first lime that a
4ucen and its retinue and subjects com
pletely tied up a steam railroad. It
happened on the Ilan iman system at
Twin Falls, Idaho, the other day, when
a lusty swarm accomplished what the
rational Congrt as, James J. Hill and
well organized agencies have utterly
failed to do.
Tin dishpans, tom-toms, whistles and
other recognized lures failed to dis
lodge the swarm, which had settled in
the spout of the atandpipo at the water
tank, where a long train of freight
ein stood on the main line without suf
ficient water in the boiler of the big
Mogul to pull out. The driver and
coal-heaver did excellent team work in
trying to reach the pipe, but the bees
gave them short shift and the men re
fused to make the second attempt.
IL A. Swab, a local expert in bee
matters, bore down upon the scene to
capture the swarm. Ho was armed
with a nail keg and two long sticks.
He sent his helper to coax the bees in
to the keg, but in less than six seconds
the assistant had a score of active bees
up hi sleeves, and he made a dush to
ward the railway station. Swab also
remembered he had an important busi
ness engagement elsewhere.
The foreman and members of the
section crew were routed, and when
the engineer appealed to Agent Sulli
van that worthy declared it was a mat
ter for the maintenance of way depart
ment. The conductor of the stalled
train suggested sending for the sheriff,
wfaile the stoker insisted upon calling
oat the fire brigade. The brakeman on
the front end offered no solution, as he
was nursing a dozen or more knobs of
the size of a mature hickory nuts on
face, hands and body.
Finally, a by-stander prescribed the
water cure, adding: "If that doesn't
drive 'era away nothing will." A well
directed Btream from a garden hose
aeemed to have a quieting effect, and
the pipe was lowered to the intake on
the tender and the tank filled with bees
and water.
vWhile replacing the pipe the fireman
"was attacked by a few stragglers and
to protect himself from further on
slaught he tied a red bandanna hand
kerchief around his head. After rais
ing the spout he tucked the handker
chief into his pocket and accepted the
nxHijjratulatlons of the onlookers upon
liis escape, but while mopping his face
a vagrant bee winged its way out of
the fulds of the bandanna and stung
him on the lip.
After the excitement with the bees,
two small boys climbed to the roof of
the water tank ami with bare hands
raptured the queen, placing it in the
fctrttom of the keg, into which the bees

quickly swarmed. Swab bought the
swarm presenting the boys $1.25 to
swell the candy and lemonade fund,
and the incident closed.
As it is not likely that the real cause
of delaying the train will be incorpor
ated in the official report to headquar
ters, the foregoing record is made to
show what caused the tie-up on the
line.

Talt to "Open The Grip."
Spokane, Wash., July 14.-President
Taf t has been chosen by the traveling
salesmen of the Pacific Northwest to
"open the grip" at the Interstate fair
in Spokane the week of September 20,
when ho will be their guest. This
ceremony is to take the place of pres
sing a golden button. The invitation
was extended by Congressman Miles
Poindextcr of Spokane, and W. I
Edris, chairman of the executive com
mittee of the traveling men's club and
postmaster-elect of this city, has re
ceived advices that the president will
formally open the fair in person. A
citizen's committee, headed by David
T. Ham, and officers of the Spokane
chamber of commerce and the One
Hundred and Fifty Thousand club are
arranging for the president's visit and
from the plans already made it may be
taken that the chief executive will
know when ho reaches the heart of the
Inland Empire. It was expected that
President Taft would attend the 17th
session of the National Irrigation Con
gress in Spokane, August 9 to 14, but
as he will not start on his western trip
until September 15, the earlier visit is
out of question. It is likely there will
be more people from various parts of
the Northwest gathered together in
Spokane during the president's stay
than have ever been here on any other
occasion, not excepting former Presi
dent Roosevelt's visit several years
ago.

The News-Herald is in a position
to use a couple of good solicitors either
all or part .of the time. We have a
