The Fleet Of Wheat Ships.

Lloyd TeviS, in his recent article read
before the Bankers Convention at Sara
tOga, estimates the amount of wheat
available in California for exports at the
close of the present harvest as l. ,4OO, 900
tons. The average cargo Of wheat ships
does not exceed 1000 TONS This esti-
mate is rather large, but if it is to be
taken as approximately correct, it will
require fleet of 700 ships to carry away
this surplus Charters have been run
ming from f3 to "a per ton for wheat
cargoes. Every ship which gets cargo
at either of those prices most of the
charters approach the extreme figures ~
is coming money. There is probably not
another city in the world of no more pop
ulation than San Francisco which is to-
day furnishing as many profitable ship
charters as this. The bulk of the grain
will be taken away in foreign bottoms
But this cannot be helped. Money here
goes abegging at 5 and per cent, and Il
great deal has been loaned at less rates.
A medium sized wooden ship will pay the
cost of construction out of two grain
charters to Europe at the present ruling
rates of freight. There is an abundance

fifty California built ships of 800 tons
were now in the market for charters,

less, will come and go during the present
year. They will represent the best com
mercal fleet in the world. The majority
of them will be iron ships. All of them
will be sailing vessels. No steamer has
yet departed from this port bound to
Europe by way Of Cape Horn with 4

The True Tale of William Tell.

William Tell ran hay ranch near Ber-
gelen, about $50 years ago. Tell h2d
lived III the mountains all his life. and
shot chamois and chipmunks with :, cross
gun until he was a bad man to stir up.
At that time Switzerland was run princi-
pally by a lot of carpet baggers from Aus
trla, and Tell got down on them about
the year 1907. 1t seems that Tell want
ed the government contract to furnish
hay at S43 ton for the year l306, and
Gessler, who was controlling the patron
age of Switzerland. let the contract to an
Austrian who had big lot of condemned
hay further up the gulch. One dav Ges-
sler put his plug hat on telegraph pole
and issued Order 2:}6, regular series, to
the effect that every SnOOZer passing down
the toll road should bow to it. Gessler
happened to be in behind the bush when
Tell went by, and he noticed that Bill
said, "Shoot the hat" and didn't salute
it, so he told his men to gather Tell in
and put him in the refrigerator Gessler
told him that if he ould shoot a crab ap-
pie from the head of his only son, at 200
yards, with cross gun he would give him
his liberty. Tell consented, and knocked
the apple higher than Gilroy's kite Old
GeSsler however, noticed another arrow
sticking in Williams girdle, and he asked
what kind OF tiowery break that was
Tell told him that if he had killed the kid
instead OF busting the apple, he intended
to drill a hole through the stomach of Mr.
Gesser This made Gessler mad again,
he took Tell on picnic up the river in
irons. Tell jumped off when he got
good chance and cut across a bend in the
river, and when the picnic party came
down he shot GeSsler deader than mack
erel. This opened the ball for freedom,
and weakened the Austrian government
50 much that in the following November
they elected Tell to fill the long term and
L halt-breed for the short term. After
that Tell was recognized by the ruling
power, and he could get almost any con
tract that he wanted to. He got the ser
vice on the stage line up into the Alps
Increased to a daily, and had the con
tracts in the name of his son Albert The
appropriation was increased to $50, 600 a
year. and he had good thing. Tell lived
many years after this, and was loved by
the Swiss people because he had freed
their Land. Whenever he felt lonesome
he would take his crOsSgun and 90 out
and Kill tyrant. He had a tyrant and
toast almost every day till Switzerland
was free, and the peasants blessed him is
their deiverer. When Tell got to be an
old man he would 60 out into the mount
aims and apostrophize them in the follow
ing memorable words: "le crags and
peaks, I'm with you once again, hold to
yon tile hands held to YOU on previous
occasions, to show you they are free. The
tNrant's crust is busted, so to speak. His

Improved Appliances for Procuring Steak
IN the Arctic Regions.

II do SO pity those men on the Rodgers, :
remarked Mrs. Max, passing the Major
the honey, which he always insisted upon
having with his rice cakes.
ayes, indeed" replied the Major, who
was tritie cynical that morning, having
burned his mouth with coffee. "les in
deed my dear, the life of an Arctic cX-
plorer must be hard. They are so isoat-
ed from the world. just imagine, if you
can, the horror OF living for three years
out OF the dust and wind and fog and rain
Of our glorious climate; of not meeting all
that time the man at your club who
thinks the Ottener story is told the bet
ter it is; of being without the consola-
ton afforded you by the busted stock
operator who knows you are glad OF an
opportunity to lend twenty; OF being
where millinery and japanese decoration
stores do not daily entrap ones wife: of
being"
'Why, major, how you do talk was
only thinking of the horrd things the
Rodgers crew will have to do to get their
bear steaks"
CLOVIS that? ?" asked the major, in
stantly interested over the subject of
steaks which he holds of much greater
Importance til IN the Irish land troubles.
"What know about it," resumed Mrs.
Max, II read i'll Il fashion paper, and it
ought to be tue
at certainly ought to be, Mrs. Max, il
only on account of its old age
"Well the article said continued Mrs.
Max, pretending to ignore the majors
slur on her tavorite reading, "that Arctic
explorers, when they want to kill a polar
bear, plant IA big knife in the ice with the
blade sticking up. They daub the blade
with blood, and the bear comes along and
licks it and cuts his tongue. 1t is 50 cold
that he don't feel the cut, but, tasting
his own blood. continues to lick the knife
until his tongue is all trayed and he
bleeds to death Isn't it dreadful !'
"Quiet your fears, my dear" said the
major when his wife had finished. THAT
! is the way they killed the bear when that
story was first published but in the last
twenty years an improvement has been
made, which | will tell you about, if you
will kindly give me just a drop more Of
coffee, with cold milk, this time. The
way the thing is done now is as follows
When Captain Berry Of the Rodgers
wants poler bear for dinner, he gives a
midshipman a copper bed spring and Il
chunk of salt pork. The mipshpman
congresses the spring perfectly fiat,
wraps the pork around it tight, and holds
it 50 until it freezes solid. Then the
frozen pork, stuffed with bed spring. is
thrown out to the nearest iceberg when
it is promptly swallowed by polar bear.
When the heat of the bears stomach thaws
out the pork it releases the spring, which
files out, and the bear soon dies from 4
pain in the side"
"Maior," said Mrs. Max, with much
warmth, 81 don't believe that story is
true"
"No my dear and you won't, until, in
lew years, you see it in some fashion

Wishing in Georgia is attended with
some exciting incidents not encountered
by the sportsmen in the North \ party
from l1awkinsville recently went fishing
IN tie Alapaha River and stirred up
big hole with their poles, securing hun
dreds of fish. In churning up the water
a big alligator was aroused, and he be-
gan to make trouble for them De-
ternined to clean out the hole and have
the fish, several of the party went into
the water to run the alligator out Some
OF them seized him by the head, some
about the body and some got "tail hold
and right out Of the water they came
with the amphibious creature Ont on
land they came, but in an instant the rep
tile made grand effort, and with one
stroke of its powerful tail knocked one of
the men headlong into the water. At
this Juncture several of the fishermen
jumped on the back of the gator, and
held it down until the others killed it with
their hoes and axes. The gator meas
ured nine feet in length. After this ad
venture the fishing went on and the party
caught four hundred and forty six.

Those Wonderful Diamonds.

less than week, he created such Il sen
satlon with his massive diamond that the
Washington correspondents even wrote
about the valuable solitaire worn by Gen.

- district of Ohio. This congress-
man never wears his "diamonds" while in
Cincinnati, but it is never missing from
his shirt bosom while in Washington. I'll

ator of Kentucky appeared in
Washington with a magnificent pair of
solitaire diamond ear rings, and set socie-
ty there wild about the beautiful Jewels
Everybody was talking about them, and
a great many placed the value of the ear
rings at no less than $4,000 Many an
