The Narrow Gauge

Hon. j. +. Crank, President Of the
Los Angeles and San Gabriel Valley
Railroad, the Treasurer, Mr.. Sherman
washburn, and the Chief Engineer,
Stanley P. Jewett, were in the city yes
terday ON railroad business. The pro-
files and estimates are all made up.
aad nothing remains except to secure
right Of way over few places whose
owners want extravagant prices for the
right Of way. A few avaricious men
have hindered this rond from being built
for nearly year. II the directors will
go forward and build the road and refer
the damages for the right OF way to be
settled by commissioners appointed by
the Superior Court, they win get along
with less expense than to dance attend
ance on the land owners, who only own
as deep as they can plow of the soil
over which this important road is to be
built. t'orbearance ceases to bo vir-
tue at certain times in the experience
Of men. One Of those times appears to
have arisen in the location Of this rail.

Primeval Tinder.
tGood wortls.1

tGood Words.
There are some kinds of mushrooms,
notably the woody and leathery ones,
that no more suggest ideas of meal to
us than log of timber or pair of old
boots do. But if we do not think of
eating them we can fashion them into
excellent razor strops or other useful
articles on occasion. Several polypores
make first rate tinder, and for such pur-
pose they have undoubtedly been used
from very remote times. We infer that
fires were kindled by their means in the
ancient Swiss lake dwellings, from the
fact that they occur among the remains
in almost every one of these old habita-
tions. The common finder polypore has
also been found in the lake dwellings at
Lochlee, in Ayrshire. Perhaps they may
have been put to some other use. These
old lake dwellers were probably not
without their vices, and they may have
pounded rolypores to dust and snufl'ed
that up as eagerly as certain natives of
Northern Asia do at this day.

Los Angeles Manufactures

One Of the prominent manufactures
OF our city is that Of the Los Angeles
Cracker Company, located in the old
Also mill building, and managed by
Messrs. l.. Winter, X, T. Hanke and II.
Weber. The firm has plant Of about
$50, 600, and run about seventeen hours
per day, the dough mixer commencing
work at 3 o'clock A. NJ. and working
until the entire force of ten men COM
mence at 6i O'Clock. The basement is
occupied by the boiler and engine,
which heat the oven above in the second
story, which cooks the thirty-five differ
ent kinds Of crackers manufactured.
Anthracite coal from the Lehigh
Valley, Pennsylvania, is used, at
a cost of s25 per ton per carload, any
coal producing smoke being impossible
to use in the business. The scene is
busy hive Of industry, every man work
ing to his utmost capacity. The dough
is mixed in large trough, and then
placed in newly patented machine
which stamps the dough into the neces-
sary forms, and then drops it into trays,
which are carried by boys to the baker,
who places them on trays in the oven.
After four revolutions in the
oven, the motion is stopped,
and the crackers placed loose in
basket and hauled to the upper
story by pulley, where the packing
takes place, the boxes being slid down
to the wagons in the street by slide.
Four tons Of crackers are turned out
daily by the use of improved machinery.
Our prominent wholesale firms purchase
large portion Of the product. The
oven is a novelty, consisting of large
brick framework, with shaft in the
middle, ten shelves being attached to it,
each containing four trays. with fifty
| four crackers each, so that in -four revo-
lutions, lasting about as many minutes,
| 2l60 crackers are turned out. The en-
tire process, from transferring the flour
from the warehouse to the baking and
shipping of the crackers, is an exceed
ingly interesting one, and attracts many
people to examine it. 1t is one out Of
only three of the kind on the Pacific
! Coast.

Tne Alligator Children.
lJaehsOnville (rla.l, rimcs.unlOn.

Perhaps the greatest living curiosities
now in existence in this country will
pass through this city on their way to
Cincinnati and Louisville next Tuesday
About two years ago Mr.. Charles Lewis,
Of the Lewis Brothers "Bloody knife
Combination Company" in passing
through the State, discovered, about
fifteen miles below st. Augustine, fam.
lily of white persons, consisting OF John
Mcdonald, his wife and five children.
Two of the children he found to be
half human and half alligator. He al
once contracted with the parents, who
gave him the management Of the
children, and he agreed to pay them
twenty-five dollars per month to care
for them until such time as he saw fl
to take them away. A few weeks age
Mr.. Lewis returned to the State for the
purpose of taking the children North,
and on Wednesday arrived in this city
to arrange for their transportation. He
will go to st. Augustine Monday aftel
the children and arrive in this city with
them perhaps on Tuesday morning, and
will remain here about five hours before
leaving for Louisville. Mr.. Lewis does
not intend to exhibit them here, except
perhaps to few friends and acquain
tances.
These children are now nine years OF
age, and have never been exceeding ten
miles from their home, and consequently
have never been placed on exhibition
Their bodies, arms and heads from the
hips up are perfectly formed, while
from hips down they present the identi
cal appearance OF an alligator, having Q
perfectly formed tail of about five fee
in length, together with the hind feet
and legs Of the alligator. They craw
around on their hands and feet, convers,
intelligently and seem to enjoy life very
much. They live part Of the time il
the water, which they enjoy very much
using their tails while swimming. ths
same as the alligator, to propel theil
bodies. They are healthy, good looking
and well-developed children, and outside
of their love for The water their genera
mode OF living is the same as that 0
other human beings.

SERVICES TO-DAY.
A Sensible Project.

The property holders of Anaheim are
agitating the project Of making large
reservoir northeast Of that town, on
tract of forty-one acres Of land generous
ly donated to the people of Anaheim by
Mr.. Daniel Kraemer, two years ago. for
the purpose Of reservoir. The capacity
Of the proposed reservoir will be
434. 900, 600 gallons. Such reservoir is
a necessity to Anaheim. and from this
great storage lake, pipes should be laid
over the sandy plains between Placentia
and Anaheim and make them susceptible
Of tillage at all seasons Of the year.
The heirs of Mr.. Kraemer are weary
OF waiting for the reservoir to be made,
and if there is not prompt action taken
by the people to make such a work, the
land will be restored by due process of
law to the heirs Of the donor. II would
be misfortune to the people of Ana
helm to let such an opportunity slip of
securing the site for reservoir for
nothing They win have to make a
reservoir and lay water pipes at some
time, and might as well begin now, whom
times are flush and money is abundant.
A stock company could be formed, and
the capital all subscribed by tho land
owners to be benefited by the work.
This is the day for reservoirs, and they
cannet be made too soon. When tho
great tunnel is made into the Sierra
Madres grand reservoir will have to
be made in the hills south Of Pasadena,
about 800 feet above the Court House in
Los Angeles, when everybody can have
water enough. and to spare, and water
enough to turn all the manufacturing
wheels that are needed in the city. We
hope the Anaheimers viii so ahead
with their reservoir, and set us an ex-
ample worthy to initiate in the great
reservoir that we must soon make in
Los Angeles.

A Terrible Encounter with Buck

| A Terrible Encounter with a Buck
George Potnam. who has a place in
Bear canon, near Lyons valley, was in
town yesterday and gave an account of a
terrible encounter which he had last
week with a four year.eld buck. Mr..
Putnam was out hunting, and coming
upon two deer-a buck and doe fired
first at the former, bringing him to the
ground. He then shot the doe, and
turning his attention again to the buck,
found him on his feet. ?utnam gave
him another shot, it being the last cart
ridge he had-and the deer again fell.
Thinking the animal dead, Putnam ad-
vanced to cut its throat, but when be
was within fifteen yasds Of his game, the
buck suddenly arose and started for him.
Putnam ran down the hill for about 200
yards, with the deer in close pursuit,
when the latter again fell to the
ground, being weak from the loss of
blood. Putnam again started to cut its
throat, when the infuriated animal gained
its feet second time and made a desper-
ate charge at the hunter, and succeeded
in reaching him. Putnam grasped the
deer by the horns, and, after terrible
struggle, in which the clothing was
nearly all torn from the upper part Of
his body, succeeded in throwing his an
tagonist. He then jumped behind a
small tree, but the deer recovered him
self and again rushed at Putnam, who
grasped his horns snee more. Finally,
Putnam grasped one of the animals ant
lers with his left hand and throwing
his right leg across the other, managed
TO draw his knife with his disengaged
hand aud end the encounter by cutting
the bucks throat. Mr.. Putnam will
hereafter be better provided With cart.
