There has been a controversy about the
location OF Ramona, the spot so earnestly
portrayed by Helen Hunt Jackson. Some
assert that the place described was In San

Camulos ranch, while others state that
Ramona was certainly located in San Luis
Obispo county. To settle the question
definitely, Mr. J. DeBarth Shorb has in

THE PACKERS, STRIKE.

Not 20 Yield.

CHICAGO, November 16. = The contract
which the packers are requiring the ex
strikers to sign is leading already to COM
plications and possibly to another general
strike. Many men yet unemployed say they
will never sign such an agreement, and at u
meeting Of the cattle butchers assembly to-
night resolutions were adopted denouncing
the action of the psckers and pledging
members of the Assembly not to sign the
business contract. The vo;e was unani-
nous. Delegate Barry was present. Aiter
the meeting he said: "The packers think
they have the men by the throats and pro-
pose to tighten their grip" He claimed that
the men wouln act Gs unit regaroing the
contract exacting a money forfeit from
them, and If new strike occurred IL
would mean dssobedience to Pow

Singing sands.

There are few beaches in the world on
which are found "singing sands" so called
because of prolonged musical sound heard
when walking through the sand or stirring
1t with a stick. One of the best known
beaches where this phenomenon occurs is
at Manchester. about twenty-five miles
from Boston. Another place Is on one OF
the Hebrides Islands. Some of the sands
from there were sent to an American scieu-
tist last year for examination. One portion
was sealed in bottles and another sent in
bags. The latter lost their peculiar proper
ties, but the former sang sweetly on being
stirred. No satisfactory cause for the cur
ious sound has yet been discovered. One
popularity of these musical beaches Is that
and the sound Is not always of uniform
loudness 1t is said that along the shores OF
the Caribbean Sea there Is place where
the disturbance OF The sands makes noise
