SUMMER TOBOGGANING.
They have here a species of summer
tobOgganing vastly more thrilling
novel and even perilous. In the descent
of the lumber-slides. These so-called
slides by which the square timber
from the Upper Ottawa passes down
the river into navigable waters below,
are marvellous. To 60 down them as
nearly every visitor does is an exciting
and exhilerating experience to the cOur-
ageous, but by the nervous and tim
orouS 1t should ,be omitted. These
'.siides' are long fiat -bottomed shapely
sloping channels of massive stone
work and timber. They are built for
the passage Of great logs which have
been squared in the wood and which
would be damaged by such merciless
grinding and battering as the ordinary
logs receive In their plunge over the
falls. The squared logs are made up for
the descent into cribs of about
twenty sticks exactly fitting the slides
The adventurous voyageurs perch
themselves upon the highest timber In
the rear and by immense oars the huge
mass is cleverly steered to the river.
The Rideau canal Is an object of in
terest also to the visitor. 1t starts at
Cape Vincent and Kingston on the St
Lawrence and runs $50 miles and con-
meets with the Ottawa river at Ottawa
by q series of locks having q drop of 80
feet Since the introduction Of the eX'
tensive railway system, the traffic over
it has been greatly reduced and only q
few freight boats and lumber barges
run around the rapids at Ottawa fol
Montreal. These lumber barges are
sent to Kingston from Ottawa anG
thence into the United States.

Ottawa, Ont, Sept. 2S.-Resuming
our Journey from North Bay, we have
244 miles of Interesting scenery before
reaching Ottawa. It Is the wise policy
of the Canadian Pacific to establish d.
visional points at intervals OF four or
fve hours along its entire line, what
ever the state Of the country through
which 1t traverses. At these places we
usually change locomotives. The run
from North Bay to Montreal 364 miles,
will average thirty miles an hOur-the
farther eastward we travel the faster

four miles eastward. connections are
made with the Grand Trunk railway to
Toronto. Niagara Falls and the Unit
ed States.
We are now in the region Of small
lakes north of Lake Huron. Scores Of
these are seen near the railway and
would be considered large, except In
comparison with the chain of vast in
land seas that divides the United States
from the Dominion. We move on
over the great lone land of the DOmin-
ION. first to Mattewa, forty-six miles,
and then to Ottawa, 200 miles 'addf-
tional. The road as it follows down
the valley Of the Mattewa along the
streams and breaks" brings to view
scenery that is very picturesque as
seen from the car windows. Little VII
lagos. saw mills and newly made
farms are frequent. An attractive
point to tourists Is Lake Temscamin-
que, renowned for moose hunting, ca
noeing and fishing. To the south Of
the railway Is Algonquin Park, which
comprises 1,466 square miles and was
laid out by the Ontario government In
1893 as a forest and game preserve and
health and pleasure resort.
ALONG THE OTTAWA.
At Mattewa We strike the Ottawa
river, the second in size in the prov

sition of procuring anti-toxine, and the

things are equal.
A contract was signed for the pur-
| chase of land at Cabazon, San Diego
| County, upon which to erect a quaran-
tine station. and the construction of a
spur track and water-pipe line The
station will be for the purpose of pro-
tecting the State in that quarter from
contagious diseases.
A communication was read from the
California Code Commission relative to
the sanitary laws Of the State The
Secretary was instructed to confer with
the Attorney-General as to what i'm
provements should be made in order to
improve the sanitary forces Of the
State.
1t was decided to hold the fourth an
nual Sanitary Convention in Los An
geles on the Goth of next April
Drs. Davisson and Laine were ap-
pointed committee to make suitable
arrangements for the meeting of the

pend the names of all the members of
| the board on all preventive disease cir
culars published by the board for free

Saturday.
A committee consisting of Drs. Rug
giles, Wizard and Laine were appointed

One Of the members of the board told
a Record Union" reporter yesterday
that it is probable after the inspection
of the Folsom Prison the board will en-
ter vigorous protest against the prac-
tice of emptying the sewage of the
prison into the American River, whose
confluence with the Sacramento River
is a short distance north of this city.
He said that if there is not reform in
the matter, the Attorney Genral will
be requested to enjoin the prison Off

OF INTEREST TO THIS STATE.
Three Bills introduced in Congress by
Hon. Grove L. johnson.
They Relate to the Wine Interests. In
terna1 Revenue and Distillers
of Fruit.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Represent-
ative Johnson to-day introduced three
bills in the House, all of which are Oh
Importance to California.
One has considerable to do with the
wine men who have been masquerading
foreign wines under the name of Amer1-
can goods to avoid paying certain in
ternal revenue duties. Mr.. Johnson's S
bill is an amendment to Section 1928 of
the Revised Statutes imposing tax on
imitation wines. The bill provides for
striking out of said section the follow
ing words after the word champagne:
but not made from grapes grown in
the United States, and all liquor not
made from grapes, currants, rhubarb or
berries grown in the United States"
Mr. Johnson says that quite a number
of unscrupulous wine men have been in
the habit of adding a very small portion
OF American wine to foreign liquor and
then labelling it under an American
name to avoid the tax. 1t is the intent
of Mr. Johnson's amendment to provide
for a tax on all wines and champagnes
which are not made wholly from grapes,
currants, rhubarb or berries grown in
the United States.
Another bill is an amendment to the
Act entitled "An Act to provide for the
collection of internal revenue and for
other purposes" the intent of which Act
is to allow for loss in transportation of
spirits in certain cases. Mr.. Johnson's
bill provides for the addition of the fol-
lowing:
THAT the provisions of the existing
laws for the abatement of the tax on
distilled liquors lost in transportation
from bonded warehouses for export or
for transfer to manufacturing ware
houses, provided that such losses are
without fraud, collusion or negligence
of the distillers, owners and transporta-
tion companies, and their agents or en-
ployes, be made applicable to loss in
the transportation of distilled spirits
from the distillery warehouse or from
the distillery to the general bonded
warehouse, special bonded warehouse
or winery, also from one general or
special bonded warehouse to another
and from the special bonded warehouse
to the winery"
The third bill is an amendment to
Section 8 of the Act entitled "An Act to
amend the laws in relation to the inter-
visions to fruit distillers. Mr. John
sons amendment reads as follows:
1.-The Commissioner of Internal Reve-
nue. upon production to him of satisfac-
tory proof of actual destruction by ac-
cidental fire or other casualty, and
without any fraud, collusion or negli-
gence of the distiller, of any spirits or
fruit Installations in process of manu-
facture or distillation, or before being
removed to the distiliery, warehouse.
special bonded warehouse, winery, or
tax paid, shall not assess the distiller
for the deficiency in not producing so
per centum of the producing capacity
of his distillery as established by law,
when the deficiency is occasioned by
such destruction, nor shall he in such
cases assess the tax on fruit spirits so
destroyed

the amount and judgment was rem
dered against them for Sill g. They
appealed to the Superior Court, with
the result stated.
In their answer the defendants de-
MED that they executed the under
taking to pay the judgment against
Orth. The evidence in the latter case
developed the fact that the bond had
been lost The defendants admitted,
so plaintiffs claimed in their brief, that
they signed a bond, but discEaimed
reading it. Dierssen claimed he under
stood from Orth that it was for less
than 500. Finnie claimed he under
stood it was for $50 tsdd- sBrusie
claimed he ordered the Constable to
take bond in double the amount sued
for, and that the Constable told him
he had bond for $3.50 The Constable
at the time of the attachment died, his
deputy died and SO did his successor.
A search was made for the bond, but it
could not be found, and the plaintiffs
and defendants claimed they had not
seen it since the release of the attach
ment.
