Pleasant vAleb.

Fully century ago the pleasant wales
leading up into the Coast NJ untains in
California had been penetrated by the
frontiorsmen OF Mexico, of which country
this whole great region was an lll-dcfined
province, under the name of Alta Califor-
MIA. These men we're herdsmen or farmers.
Early IN the present century colony of
RussianB and Indians from Alaska, under
the leadership of Alexander Koskotf,
landed at Bodcga Bay, and began farming
where now ls the village of Bodega. Not
satisfied with this place alone, however,
they travelled northward some forty
miles, and established a permanent trading
post and agricultural station near Salt
Point, the site and many of the buildings
of which are now occupied as the village
of Fort Ross - an angicizcd abbrcviation
OF L'uerte dc los Ausos, as the post was
called by the Spaniards. The occupancy
Of this strip Of coast---for their hold ex-
tended all the way between Point Arenas
on the north and Point Ruges ON the south
by the Muscovites from 1911 until 1910,
when they abandoned their station, left its
impress upon the names of tho region, and
especially clings to the principal stream
watering this portion of the redwood belt
tho Russian River.

California VIn' yards.

Late accounts from California notice
the great increase IN the size of the vlne.
yards there. A plantation OF 200 acres
used to be considered large vineyards;
now vineyards OF 500 and 600 acres are
not uncommon, and one OF 1900 acros
was recently planted near Los Angeles.
1t is expected that IN three years or 80
California will possess vineyards Of 8, 900
or 5000 acres In extent. The total num-
ber OF acres at present devoted to vine
culture ls estimated al about 100, 600, all
of which will be bearing in about four
years time, ana producing about 40, 900, :.
600 or 30, 600, 600 gallons annually. New
wines at present fetch from 40 to 26 cents
per gallon for dry wines, either red or
white. Sweet wine 10 dear, ranging from
S6 to 70 cents per gallon. Though next
years prospects are good, last years
prices for grapes are not likely to be nam
tanned, as the cellars Of San Francisco are
said to be full.

becn stopping at Weisor for some time
past and endeavoring to run the town
when..drinking, entered the Com saloon,
kept by Gray brothers, about ten o clock
Wednesday night and called the house
up to drink with him. After drinking
he asked John Smith, tho bartender,
to charge it, which Smith said ho conld
not do. jack sssaid: "You won't; take
this, thcn," at the same time pushing q
large navy revolver into Smiths face.
Smith dropped behind the bar, when
jack mado a second attempt to shoot
him. ut which timo other parties inter-
fered and induced him to put I'D his
weapon. Jack then made Smith stand
up, look at him and shake hands, re-
marking: "I'll not Kill you now,"
Smith summoned George Porter,
Deputy Sheriff who, In company with
two citizens of Welser, attempted to
arrest Jack on the street. When told
to 'throw up" Jack remarked, eff

jack, however, nothing daunted, fiji cd
four shots at the deputy and posse
without doing any more harm than
powder-burning some of them, The
deputy and posse returned to tho saloon
and whiie discussing means for Jack 3
arrest much to their surprise the latter
entered and tho deputy again COM
manded him to ''throw up" which was
answered by shot from Jacks pistol,
the ball entering the calf of the officers
leg. ..
Tho deputy responded by discharging
one barrel of double-barreled shot
gun, the contents of which entered
Jacks breast just below tho right mp
pie. Jack, with pistol in hand, now
pressed the officer to the very wall,
the other barrel Of the Iatter's gun re-
fusing to act, leaving the officer at his
mercy; but at this junction. when it
was seemingly impossible to cheok
jack in his death rage, Hans ,Matson,
one OF the posse, frel. his pistol, the
ball entering jacks back and ranging
upwards, which shot seemed to paralyze
him. Stepping back a few steps ho
fell dead man.

Builders tell us that In the early
days OF Philadelphia whitewood was
largely used in house-building in that
city. 1t WAS used for ratters and joists
in the upper stories, and was much es-
teemed for it's lightness and strength.
AS the wood became scarce in the
vicinity pine very naturally took its
place. In all article on its present use
the "Woodworlcr" says:
In the middle, Southern, and West
ern States, whore the tree grows abun-
dainty, it has boon, and still is, exten.
sively ,lsod, and Is considered good
substitute for pine, red cedar and
Cypress, and serves we'll for tho exterior
work of houses as woll as for external
covering. The panels of doors, vain.
scots, and holdings of chimneys are
made of the wood, and shingles have
been made in some States. These
shingles arc preferred by some to pine,
because thoy are more durable and not
Liable to crack from tho effects of i'll
tense frost and sunshine Lumber

principal cities for the panels of car
riages. When perfectly dry they take
paint we'll, and will admit OF brilliant
polish. It onters largely into coach
manufacturing, and is used in cars.
wagon-boxes, sleighs, etc. 1t is par
ticularly applicable to any work requir-
ing soft wood, easily worked, and re-
quiring great strength, especially if
wide work is desirable. 1t was used
years ago in large quantities in the
manufacture of trunks, which wore
covered with cloth or skins, Lnrge
quantities of tables md bodsteads have
boon made from this wood. They arc
usually stained to initiate mahogany.
1t ofton enters into the construction Of
bureaus and general cabinet work,
particularly where it is the base for
covering with veneer. It las boen
used also III tho interior work of canal
boats and steamboats,. AS it is easily
wrought i'll the lathe, it is often used
Tor bowls, brush and broom handles,
hnu numerous OthOr articles OF turned
wares. Farmers construct eating and
drinking troughs for their animals OF

True love ia like the Ivy bold
That clings each day with frmer hold,
That growcth on through good and Ill,
And mid the tempest clingeth still.
What though the walls on which 1t climbs
Have lost the grace Of former times
viii then the ivy lose It's hold.
Forget the sunny days Of old3
Nay, rather It will closer cling
With loving clasp, remembering
That 1t had hardly lived at all
Without the kindly shcltr'lng wall.
True love Is like the Ivy green,
That no'er forgetteth what hath been,
And SO, till life Itself bo gone,
Until the end 1t clngeth on.
What thought the tree Where 1t may cling
Shall har ly know another sprlng2
What though its boughs be deaa and bare 2

And clasps 1t with a flrmor hold,
With stronger love than that OF old,
And lends it grace 1t never had
When time was young and life was glad.

ArabeIIa Root Concert.

The fifth entertainment in the Star
course, by the Arabella Root Concert
company, at the Opera House last night
drew out the largest audience of the
course. AS predicted by the TRIBUNE it
proved the entertainment of the course,
so far. Sickness prevented the appear
ance Of Mrs. Murray, the harpist, and Of
Mrs. Ada Barrett BOOs, but full pro-
gramme was presented by Miss Root and
Messrs. BOOs and Rugg. Miss Root, by
her modest and unassuming manner
and melOdiOus singing, at once captured
the audience. Mr.. BOOs gave evidence
that he could blow his own horn, and
hence needs no puff from us. Suffice to
say that such exquisite music from a
cornet is seldom heard, and can only be
called forth by BoOs. Mr.. Rugg, in his
base solos, produced favorable impress
sion, and all in all the entertainment
was a most excellent one. The perform
ers good naturally responded to encores,
thus adding several pieces to the pro-
gramme. So faras we have heard every
body was delighted with the entertain
ment.
The Oddfellows are entitled to great
credit in their efforts to furnish enter
tainments for our citizens, and especial
ly for the appearance of this company,
which has been attended with great ex-
pense, and with but little profit, if any,
financially, to the order.
The Bird regiment of state troops is
short two companies, and letter has
been received here asking what kind of
a place Cheboygan would be to get one
of the lacking companies started. Here
is chance for our young men seeking
military hOnors. There should be no
trouble in getting up good company
here if some one would take Interest
enough to work it up.
