IN PARKWAY SIBERIA.
The Worlds Greatest Forest Is Foun,
Within. Its Boundaries.

Fhe Worlds Greatest Forest Is Found
Within. Its Boundaries.
It appears that Siberia, from the plain of
the Obi River on the west to the valley of
the Endighirka on the east, is one great
timber belt, averaging more than 1000 miles
in breadth from north to south-being fully
100 miles wide in the Yenisei district
and having length from east to west of
about 5000 miles. Unlike equatorial for
ests the trees of the Siberian tiagas are
mainly conifers, comprising pines of sew
eral varieties, frs and larches. In the
Yenisei, Lena and Olenek regions there
are thousands of square miles where
no human being has ever been. The long
stemmed oonifers rise to height of $50
feet and stand so closely together that
walking among them is difficult.
. The dense lofty tops exclude the pale
Arctic sunshine, and the straight, pale
trunks, all looking exactly alike, so be-
wilder the eye in the obscurity that all
sense of direction is lost. Even the most
experienced trappers of sable dare not ven
ture into the dense tiagas without taking
the precautlon of blazing" the trees con-
stantly with hatchets as they walk for
ward. If lost there the hunter rarely finds
his-way out, but perishes miserably from
starvation and cold. The natives avoid the
tlagas, and have name for them which
signifies "plaees where the mind is lost. -

Pearv,s right-hand man; Professor Will
liam Libby of Princeton, Professor /. G..
Chamberlain of the University of Chicago,

the State SO well prepared for emergencies
as a tramp who has just visited Saco and
Biddeford. He had no overcoat, but as he
wore two coats, two thick vests, two pairs
of trousers and plenty of underclothing he
didn't miss one much. When he wandered
into the police station he bore big bundle
consisting of heavy comforter rolled in a
piece of oilcloth. In his pockets were found
several dozens of loose matches and box
of parlor matches a big roll of newspapers,
two dozen railroad time tables, box
of salve, bottle of insect-powder two

toothpicks, a shoestring, wire nail, a coll

An Interesting Bandit.

Manuel Garcia was curious character
said Cuban gentleman in speaking of the
reported death of that reyolutionist. HE
was more like character in a novel than
man living in the nineteenth century. His
home was In the mountains and he led a
regular bandits life, every now and then
holding-up Spaniards on the road or carry
ing off one of them and holding him for
ransom. He would write to a Spanish
planter, send me $1,000 or shall burn your
house. and if the money was moth forth
coming he would carry his threat into ex-
ecution. He would even write to Govern
mental officials, signing himself King of
the Mountains, and demanding tribute.
He never preyed on the native Cubans,
only on the Spaniards, and gave most Of
his money to the revolutionary party to
purchase arms. "-Philadelphia Press.

A CEMETERY At TACHMENT.
J. G. Jordan's Property Tied
Up for a Claim of
$44,7 700.
J. P. McElroy, the Plaintiff-The De-
PENDANT Says 1t Is BULLDOG
ing Scheme.

James P. McElroy has levied an attach.
ment on large section of the Laurel Hill
Cemetery tract to secure an alleged debt oil
$44, 700, claimed to be due him by James
G. Jordan.
The land on which the attachment is
filed in the estimation of the owner is
worth several hundred thousand dollars.
The $44, 700 is for legal and other services
said to have been rendered by plaintiff
while in the employ of defendant.
Mr.. Jordan said last night that he was
not in the habit of fighting his legal COM
plications and difficulties through the
columns of the pre- SIS. But he continued
81 can tell you this is nothing but a
scheme to extort money out of me. The
effort has been made before during my
residence in California and those who tried
it have invaria bly, found they had reck-
oned without their host. This man was
befriended by me. | gave him employ
ment when he needed it, and what object
he can have in the present instance except
that OF bulldozing me, cannot tell. But,
as say, do not care TO have anything to
say about the case in the papers. The at
tachment will be lifted, and If the suit is
continued the plaintiff will be required to
file 500, 600 bond-if he can.
II do not care to attack the man. The
case does not amount to that swapping

southwest corner of Polk and Sacramento

ployed as agent of John Wright in the care
and management of said property. and

OAKLAND STREET PAVING.
The New uperintendent Is
Engaged in Outlining
His Plans.
rs IN FAVOR OF BITUMEN.
Work on the Lake Merritt Boulevard
Should Be Commenced
At Once.

NJ. K. Miller, the newly appointed Oak
land Street Superintendent, is already
actively engaged in outlining his plans for
work He will enter upon the discharge
of his duties on Tuesday next. In regard
to bituminous pavement, he says:
81 am very strongly in favor of bitumin-
Gus rock for street pavement. 1t is to be
commended from every point of view. 1t
is noiseless, easy on horses, easily cleaned,
and therefore, for sanitary reason, espe-
cially to be desired. 1t has all the advan-
tages and none of the disadvantages Of
other kinds of pavements. The cost. of
course, is greater than macadam, but when
its merits are considered, the cost will
compare in reasonableness with that of
macadam. It should be laid over foun-
dation of concrete where traffic is extern
sive. 1t is like throwing money away to
lay it over WORKOUT macadam, as on Tele-
graph avenue"
Mr. Miller thinks that Telegraph avenue
needs immediate attention. The many
chuckholes need reflling, and in some
places the surface needs to be recovered.
Eighth and Twelfth streets need to have
considerable work done on them, but it
all depends, he says, on the funds appro-
priated by the City Council. The boule-
ward around Lake Merritt has been at
tracing considerable attention of late.
The new Street Superintendent is in fav or
of going right along with the work as fast
as possible. He said yesterday concern
ing it:
8The boulevard around Lake Merritt
property should be built as soon as posi-
BILE. 1t could be made feature of this
part of the State. Many cities in the East
have boulevards and several OF them in
this State have them. The drive from
Monterey along the sea coast, through Pa
cifc Grove and back again, a distance of
seventeen miles. is one of the finest drives
in the State. Santa Barbara has boule-
ward. San Diego has one of the finest
beach boulevards in the world. ii the
boulevard we're constructed here it would
prove pleasant drive for ALL visitors as
we'll as residents of the city. A peoples
pleasure drive is something Oakland does
not possess to-day"
