YAs Lovers Leap.


 Some place it has been remarked bcfcsA shat it is a mighty poor summer resort that possesses no cliff or precipioe named "Tbe Lovers Leap" with a legend relat ing thereto Mushamusha, although a distinctly modern place, with all the latest Improvements in sanitary plumbing, etc. (see ciroular), Is not behind in this re- speot. It is true that the surrounding country is flat, but then the legend is so weird and romantic that it fully com pensates for the triaing lack of a preoipioe.
 Listen to the soul stirring tale as 1 had 1t from the lips of the venerable chief, Sas- Eieteman.
 Long, long before the foot of the white landgrabber had gobbled up the fair do- main of his red brother, Eatanythingsoft- huff loved the beautiful Prairiesoavener, and his love was returned. A noble hunt CT and warrior was Eatapythingsoftnuff. No one in all the tribes of the Vermichew- chewers could capture at one grab so many of the nimble grasshoppers as he; no one equaled him in the skill and audaoity with which he tracked and slew the willy and ferocious muskrat. To see and describe the charms of Prairiescavener would re- Quire all the blindness of love and the pen of a political editor; suffice 1t here to say kunb cho vas lhob nS 6opA hS BLU W V&AS h0s.b' tiful
 So their love grew until Eatanything. softpuff, feeling that life without Prairie. scavener was-like a summer without grasshoppers-barren and profltloss, rose and went to her father and said: "I'n give you ten ponies for Prairiesoavener." Fol Eatanythingsoftnuff was cunning and concealed the love that filled his heart, lest the old man should demand mors than his stack.
 Then the old chief folded his armI across his battle scarred bosom, as though hugging himself, and answered, "To the young and strong belong the fierce delight, of war. I am old and long for repose Take her mother with you and you car have her for nothing and Tn throw In my blessing"
 And, not noticing the ferocious twinkle in the old fox's eye, Eatanythingsoftnuf jumped at the chance. This is the leGent of "The Lovers Lean. p.n-Truth

GRADING TO STANISLAUS.
The Valley Road Asks for Bids for
Building to the First River
South of Stockton.

The directors of the San Francisco and
San Joaquin Valley Railway met yester-
day and signed contracts for building a
trestle over Mormon Channel, in Stockton.
After a second consideration of the side
tracks at that terminus the board de-
cided to abandon one side track near the
waterfront.
Specifications were issued for bids for
grading the road from the city line of
Stockton to the Stanislaus River, a dis
lance OF twenty-five miles. The bids must
be submitted before August 5, on which
day they will be opened. and if satisfac-
tory the contract will be let.
Director Isaac Upham and Chief Engi-
neer w. B. Storey went to Stockton last
evening to make an inspection of the grad
ing and other work on the line at that
place. Mr.. Storey said he was very well
pleased at the way his field corps have
worked down the valley. Latest advices
from the valley were to the effect that the
first party of engineers had made final sur
yeys to the Tuolumne River, about thirty
five miles south OF Stockton, and had gone
still further south about ten or fifteen
miles on preliminary survey to the Mer-
ced River. Two preliminary SURVEYS from
Fresno south, one by Tulare and Visalia.
the other by HanfoTd, were completed to
a point about fifteen miles below Tulare.
where they met. The surveyors in the
lower part of the valley were heading their
lines toward Bakersfield, while the Ora
ham party was working from MERGED to
Fresno, and a fourth party had its hands
full with stalking out levels for the graders
in Stockton.

TALKS ON COMPETITION.
The Institute of Applied Chris
tianity Discusses Business
Cooperation.
Stories of the Grange and the Grain
Ring War Recalled by Rev.
G. w. Henning.

The Institute of Applied Christianity
discussed Competition" at its regular
weekly meeting at the Third Congrega-
tional Church last evening. Rev. w. j.
Ferguson said:
People are trying to get ahead in business by
cutting each others threats. According to
recognized business principles man has q
right 10 sell his goods at any price he chooses,
even though 1t bankrupt the community.
golden rule in business way should be, "Do
for others what should be done for them" not
'Do for others what they want done for them"
The two are likely to diverge widely.
Rev. G. w. Henning said he had been
one Of the organizers of the grange move
ment on the coast and knew the inside
facts of the war between the farmers of
California and the grain ring OF San Fran
cisco. The Changers Bank, organized
with a capital stock of $1,000,000, repre-
scented Jour times the strength, numer-
ically and financially, of the grain ring.
By organized effort the ring was broken
and the leader failed with immense liabili-
ties. That made the farmers independent
for years and it was comparatively re-
Gently that they lost their grip. The
latest and meanest combine is on collins.
''They wont permit US to be buried with
out the manipulations of ring" said Mr..
Hennlng. Capital will not war with CAPT.
tai. 1t combines, and therein is the lesson
labor has to learn.
W. w. Chase said he had been connected
with the grain trade for forty years, and
he knew that Friedlander, Flood and Fair
had lost millions by paying more than
grain was worth. For the past twenty-five
years nine out of eleven commission mer-
chants have become bankrupt through
making loans to farmers. Something is
wrong" said Mr.. Chase, "but l don't
know how it is to be righted."
JIG. Gosse said: "Co-operation is death
to competition. Ten individuals who CO.
operate can destroy the interests of ninety
individuals. Industrial cooperation is the
solution of the problem of capital co-opera-
ton"
Captain Cook said: 1.-THE trouble arises
from the false notion that riches are the
source of happiness. Leland Stanford, at
the height OF his prosperity, said in pub
lie speech: The happiest day of a mans
life is the day when he dies"
"a business man told me the other day
it was impossible for man to be honest
and transact business" said ]. S. Clark
Z. J. Weber called attention to the
movement of the Worlds Christian Co.
operative Society, which it was hoped
would result in the building of a large
f1ourmill and the establishment of num-
Der of bakeries and restaurants in the City,

ID. C. Dare Unjustly Accuses Attorney
Fox of Smuggling Chinese Ashore.
D. c. Dare, printer, attempted to create
a sensation yesterday, and his method was
decidedly out of the common. He went
before Deputy Labor Commissioner c. l..
Dam and swore to long statement in
which he charged George W. Fox, an
attorney at APO Montgomery street, with
doing lively business in smuggling
Chinese into the State on fraudulent
Custom-house certificates and pictures of
Cinnamon. Dare even went into the details
and told how the president of the Anti
Chinese and Law and Order League
struggled the Asiatics off the steamers.
The charges were investigated last evening
and found to be unfounded. The method
Dare described could not be operated under
the present customs regulations and rules.
Fox denied the charges and said that Dare
is influenced by a legal practitioner who
Fox is fighting in court for client. Fox
will demand an investigation and have
Dare arrested for perjury or criminal libel.
Dare acknowledged that revenge was the
motive for his making the charges. For
some time past he was a roustabout in
FOx'S office.
