A Pretty Picture of the Plains.
Los Angeles (Cal) Express.


One of the most startling and ro-
mantle features of border life occurred
recently on the Wild Horse prairie,
thirty miles north of Los Angeles,
when band of wild horses, under
the lead of noble sorrel stallion,
came galloping over the PLAIN to re-
connoiter a company of surveyors
engaged ia making survey OF the
tract. The band dashed toward Capt.
Keller and his party of surveyors TIL
within about five hundred feet, when
the leader halted in grandly proud
and defiant manner, with neck curved,
nostrils distended, erect, and tail on
dress parade, and all the band ranged
themselves on, each side of him like 2
squad of cavalry in battle charge
After surveying the scene for a few
moments the leader galloped proudly
away, followed by the band in the
most graceful and dignified manner
The scene was most romantic, and the
picture of the lordly leader, with mis-
most obedient servants, in their fleet
and graceful motions. was worthy Of
an artists pencil. There was another
band of wild h. res on the same pral
RE, under the Is rship of a dark
mahogany bay stallion, with black
main, tail, and knees. In this band
there are two white horses, while the
rest are bay and sorrel mainly. Few
people are aware that at the northern
base of the Sierra Madre. only thirty
miles from this city, wild horses roam
in their native beauty, and crop the
rich grasses that grow on Wild Horse
prairie. Yet such is the fact, and
their slick appearance and graceful
motions are the admiration of all be-
holders.

Timber Culture.
Iowa Homestead.

Oar editorial on ''Scrub Timber
has stirred up matters considerably all
over the state.
Our friend Gotsck, of Humboldt
County, gave us piece of his mind
last week, and we presume his views
will command the assent of most OF
our readers in the northwest part of
the state. And it is for the sake of
the good people in the northwest that
we wrote. They have new country,
and are in shape to profit by the ex-
perience of the older portions of the
state.
Now. the universal experience of the
state is, that land covered with native
timber is the only land that depreciates
In value in Iowa.
The early settlers stick close to the
timber, consider it almost priceless
and find each year that it is worth
less, until the major part Of it is
abandoned and sold for taxes.
Madison County. for instance, is
one of the best timbered counties IN
the state. A gentleman told US last
week that he came to the county
thirty-six years ago to enter land, and
after travelling all over 1t concluded
not to enter land. because Ct the
scarcity of timosr. He had never been
in the county since that time and was
greatly surprised to find that every
stream was lined with timber and that
it was an absolute drug on the
market.
The thing for settlers in the north
west to do is to plant timber just
where they want it, plant heavy
groves-no danger of planting too
maryland plant them of the very
best that are hardy in that latitude.
We would not advise planting Catalpa
as far north as Humboldt County, and
YET we believe it will prove hardy if
planted from seed raised in Webster
County or any county in that latitude
in Iowa. II ash-winter kills there it
is because it was grown from southern
or eastern seed. We have seen It
grow even in Dakota. There is no
trouble with the walnut, nor do We
believe there will be any trouble with
the hoaey-locust.

A SUSPECTED DYNAMITER
A Jolly Priest Deceives English De-
teetiVes,

A Birmingham correspondent OF
The London Times says; Last night
a ludicrous Incident IN connection
with the dynamite scare took place IL
Birmingham. It having been report
ed that O'Donovan-Rossa, disguised
as Catholic priest, had left America
and would shortly arrive in England,
the utmost vigilance was displayed by
the home offica in notifying the police
authorities throughout the country
that a sharp lookout should be kept
for anyone resembling the description
of the suspect" On Monday last a
Roman Catholic priest from Dublin
arrived in Birmingham, and called
upon the brother of Egan, who at the
last Warwick assizes was sentenced
ey Justice Hawkins to twenty years
penal servitude for his alleged asso-
citation in the dynamite conspiracy
with DAILY, who was sentenced to
penal servitude for life. The sus,
picion of the Police was heightened
by the fact that the supposed dyna-
miter-who had in reality come to
Birmingham on a charitable mission
carried with him a small Glad
stone bag" after being tracked to
the house of the brother of Egan, one
of the detectives, who took promin-
ent part IN the recent apprehension
of Daily and Egan, called at the resi-
dence, expressing desire to purchase
some vegetables which were IN the
garden where the reasonable docu-
ments had Been found. The reply
vas that there were.no vegetables to
spare, and that there was a good
green grocer's shop round the corner:
The detective then left, and assured
severalof his colleagues that there was
somethingwrong, and that big Lind
was most probable. The priest, see
ing the mistake into which the
authorities had fallen, carried on the
joke at the expense of the police: See
ing that he and Egan were being
closely watched, he hailed cab, and
instructions to the driver to be driven
to nearly all parts of the town-trst
from New street to Hagley road, then
to Acock's green, afterwards to Spark
brook, and next to Aston, where he
alighted. During this excursion the
cab was followed by relays of detec-
tives, who, regardless of expense,
hired vehicles at many different
places. Still keeping up the joke, the
priest took fresh cab and drove INTO
Birmingham again. Finally, the
priest drove to Monument lane sta
ton, where he booked for Blrkenhead.
Subsequent inquiries convinced the
detectives that the Gladstone bag, "
which was supposed to contain Nitro
glycerine, contained nothing, more
harmful than some prayer-books and
subscription-lists for a Roman Catho-
lie church near Dublin, a couple of
shirts. and a collar or two.

Too True to BE Sad.
Burdette in Burlington Howkeye

Buriette in Burlington Howkeye
He was busy man and she was a
society woman. One evening he sud
denly looked up from his paper and
said:
by the way, didn't we have baby
in this house about the time Mid
land Broad. Gauge went up to ninety
eighth"
E'Yes," she said; oscar was born
the night of the Everingham recep-
ton"
boy, wasn't itin he said, with a
show of interest. Il had forgotten /;
must be about seven months old by
this time. Where is hef"
She touched a bell, a servant ap-
peared, and she ordered Oscar TO be
brought into the presence of his sire.
Instead of whom the weeping nurse
appeared alone, and with many tears
confessed that the infant Oscar had
been kidnapped in the park six weeks
before, and that the most careful
search, aided by advertisements in
the daily papers. had thus far failed
10 reveal ms whereabouts. Thus we
see that the wealth is no barrier to
sorrow. and even into the homes OF
the rich and the great trouble creeps
with its stsalthy trade, and some
times breaks up whole evening of
enjoyment.
A leading woman of fashion is rep
resented as announcing that she
has taken a census of one summer re-
sort, and can count sixty girls who
will never marry. The cause of this
destined celibacy is explained to be
that they are brought up to spend
money. and must marry it or remain
single. But the men of their own set
will not marry except for some great
advantage, and they know to dot
that the sixty girls l have counted will
not only be poor themselves, but win
have poor sisters" Whether this
coudeRsns the summer resorts, the
young men, or the young women most
severely, is question.

in Virginia, North Carolina and Ten
nessee, having driven the product
known as African from the market
The mild and light nature of the nut,
with its not unpleasant taste when
roasted, has made it favorite. Then
there are pecan nuts, hickory nuts,
butternuts, chestnuts and variety OF
others which are all called for in the
fall, and the demand is so great that
the wholesale dealers find a ready
market for their wares. Already the
large dealers are making their pur-
chases, and the warehouses are laden
with nuts from all parts of the coun-
try.

Mexican Silver PRODUCTION.
Philadelphia Press

From the days of Cor,ez. in 1921,
down to the beginning of this cen
fury, and even TO the present time,
except when interrupted by revolution,
the Mexican silver mines have poured
forth an unceasing stream Of silver,
such as the world has never seen. 1t
is estimated that the value of the silver
coin and bullion produced in that
country since the conquest, is over
So, 900, 100000. and it is we'll known
that some of the mines have been
proftably worked almost without in
terruption from that day to this, and
that one of them, at least, is still lun-
ming out silver at the rate of over
S., 900. 900 per year.
