MONARCH OF THE FOREST.
The Largest Tree in the World just Dis
covered in FRESNO County.

covered in Fresno County.
FRESNO. Oct. S.-What is said to be
the largest tree in the world has just
been discovered in Fresno county.
Frank Lomis, an old mountaineer, and
party, returned yesterday to Sanger
from bear hunting expedition in the
Sierras east of Centerville. They
wounded bear, and in pursuing it,
ran across a big tree in
the most rugged portion of
the mountains, about two miles north
of Kentucky Meadows. The tree is
surrounded for radius of mile or
more ofalmost impenetrable inderbrush
SO that the hunters were compelled to
use both knife and ak to reach the center.
No evidences that man ever traversed the
same ground were found. The
tree was measured about four
feet from the ground, and
a rope l29 feet inches long was neces-
ary, to span its circumference. The
truth of the statement is vouched for by
several who saw the tree. 1t was chris
tened by those who discovered it, "The
Oregano." Three brown bears were cap
tured by the party, the largest weighing
$50 pounds.

GOVERNMENT FOOD TEST.

Baking Powder Facts of Interest to ali.
The most importa mt investigation in Its re
lation to the health of the public through the
quality of it's food, that has been undertaken
by any government is that which has been
in progress during the past two years in the
chemical division of the Agricultural Depart
ment at Washington, D. c., as to the purity or
adulteration of articles of food, drink and
drugs found for sale throughout the country.
The latest report gives the constituents Of
all the baking powders analysed. The cream
of tartar powders comprise. probably two
thirds of all sold. The best of these COM
pounded from cream of tartar, carbonate of
soda and small portion of carbonate of
ammonia. The report quotes the highest
authority, showing that the ammonia adds to
the leavening power of the powder without
detracting from its healthfuluess, while it
makes purer food, as it leaves no residuum.
The purest powder is that which leaves the
least residuum in the bread, and the least
residuum results from the powder giving the
largest amount of leavening gas.
The comparative value of general useful
ness and purity of the cream of tartar DOW
ders examined will, therefore, be seen from
the following figures given in the report,
showing the strength of each. The table
shows the cubic inches of leavenin9 gas per
ounce of each of the powders named:

Road Grader Contest.

Last THURSDAY we had tue pleasure OF
a road grading contest be-
tween the Champion, the Austin and the
Western road graders. The contest took
place on new piece of road between |
sections four and five, Lansing. The |
old territorial road now runs across Mr..
Williams place, and it is proposed to ex.
tend the road through on the section
line. The proposed change we think IS
practical, and should be made.
In the forenoon considerable good
work was done by the machines, but the
contest proper took place in the after
moor, beginning at about 3 o'clock, on
the toughest pieces of ground to be
found in the township To say that they
did good work is stating it very mildly.
If anyone doubts the excellency of the
work, or the amount accomplished in SO
short time, he needs only to view the road
in question to be convinced of the good
results that can be accomplished by one
of these graders. Each machine was
allotted twenty rods of road to grade
Mote, the man who operated the Austin
machine, had displayed excellent kicking
qualities IN the forenoon, and was in no
better condition after dinner, so lie was
given his choice Of ground, which he Sc
lected, Mr. Stimson and the Western
men drawing tor position. By lar the
hardest piece of road fell to the lot of
Mr.. Stimeson, and like a man he went at
it, doing excellent work. He had to con-
tend with hog wallows, stumps and
brush. To our mind the Champion is
much the strongest built machine Of the
three for heavy work. A good test of it's
strength was given in cutting off green
stump measuring seven inches across the
top. The other two machines are about
equal, the main difference being that the
Austin has long K and the Western a
short x. This we, think makes little diff
ference, one working as steady as the
other. With equal power, it would be
close work between the two. The West
ern is little the easiest handled, it being
manipulated with wheels, while the Aus
tin is worked with levers.
At the close of the work, vote was
taken as to which machine was entitled
to the honors, the Western winning the
victory.
The Champion machine is handled by
Mr., Stimson, and has made considerable
good road IN the county and is reliable
machine. The Austin grader is handled
by Mr.. Duffy and has record for good
road work that it may be proud of. The
Western people have no agent. in the
county, but lately sold a grader to the
town of LIE Roy.
One thing we think was clearly demon
strated last Thursday, and that is that
with one of the machines and six or eight
good horses, at least double the amount
of road can be built, and in much better
shape too than in any other way. As a
matter of economy and good roads we
think every township should have q
grader. .

"A Refined Concert.
G. j. MILLER, Clerk.

The Lienau Reuter- Concert company,
which appears at Austin opera house
Monday, June %, comes to us exception
ally we'll recommended by the press and
various musical organizations. Mr..
Lienau, the lyric tenor, and Mr.. Reuter-,
the violin virtuOso, who head the CON-
pany, are finished artists from the Royal
Academy of Music, Berlin. They re-
turned to the United States last May,
and have given very successful concerts
in some Of the largest cities since. LOUIS
Mich, violincello vlrtuoso, is also from
the Royal Academy. and since his return
to this country he has deservedly won a
place among the best cello sololsts of
the day. May Louise Algen, the dra-
matte reader who participates IN the en-
tertainments given by the Lienau Reuter-
company. has played leading roles with
many of the most eminent actors of
America. In fact the company includes
nothing hut thoroughly first class artists,
and their concerts, which are absolutely
refined and artistic, should be literally
patronized everywhere. The following
is taken from the St. Paul Daily Globe:
"Mr. L,neau's singing Colt WEIGH
Dunkel Heir, aria from 'Fidelio,' won
for him the most unstinted and hearty
applaus, to which he was compelled to
respond to an encore number. Mr. Licnau
sang one other number, 'Naught Else,
and but strengthened the convictions al
ready formed of the merit of his voice by
those listening. Grand, above all expec-
tations, was the brilliant violin solo by
Sacob Reuter-. The variations on the ga.
Vote, by Corelli Leonard, demanded a
technique of the very highest order. He
was recalled by a thunder Of applan!s,

pearcd in Goltermann's "A Minor Con

and played it exquisitlv. 1t is seldom
