American Fables.

There is a new Aesop in the per-
son of John Bryon, of Ohio, who
has written some very clever
fables. Many fables are written
in this country from day to day,
but they are not Aesopian, and
Bryon is the only man who seems
to have hit the mark. There is
no fable, however. about the pop
ularity OF the Saint Paul and
Duluth Railroad, for it is
distinct feature and has been for
years. The Duluth Short Line,
as it is popularity known, has
always been the shortest route for
the business man or the ordinary
tourist, because its facilities are
up 80 date and its service of the
highest order of merit. It's fast
trains run between, st. Paul.

passenger trains, and close con-
nections are made with trains and
boats running in all directions.

Line and go with the crowd.

THE BIKE PARADE.
Two Very Elegant Floats Win the
Prizes.

Not all the strength Of the Wheelmen
of Kenosha was apparent in the illumin-
ated bicycle parade arranged for the
evening of July 3, but there were plen-
ty of them OUT to make a decidedly
pretty show. The streets we're crowd
ed almost as badly to witness this per-
Torrance as they we're the following
morning to see the citizens parade.
1t is estimated that there were about
80 wheelmen in the line. That num-
Der could have been more than doubled
had all the Wheelmen taken an active
interest in the show. Excellent prizes
had been offered. Some of the get ups
were ludicrous in the extreme, while a
few of the floats we're decidedly pretty.
The Irish Weary Willie, which part
was taken by Mr.. Kennedy, took the
prize for the most comical get up. The
prize is an individual pass to the soda
fountain Of Starkweather & Co. to
Sept. l, to be used for the personal and
individual benefit of the winner.
Miss Emma Werve got up the neatest
float among the girls. Hers was a
yacht in full trim named " X-Rays. F."
This exhibit drew marked attention all
along the line. The prize is pick of
$15 worth Of goods at VIM. Fishers
store.
The best gents get up went to A. Fl.
Olsen, an employee of the Sterling
works, who got up an imitation gun
boat and named it Monitor" The
rider was dressed in regular q.
S. Navy costume and undoubtedly
presented the finest appearance of any
one in the parade. His prize is $15
worth of goods at Eichelman Bros.
On the whole, for the first Of it's kind
here, the parade reflected great credit
upon it's promoters.

Saturday which has ever been attempt

race was over a fifteen mile course and
was finished in about three quarters of
an hour. The following table gives the
official list of the winners in their order;
together with the numbers they wore,

1t will also be observed that what the State

But the barriers against further filling raised
the water level between them, thus increasing
the pressure against the artificial banks and
upon their alluvial foUpdations, through
which now percolates sufficient of the floods to
render unproductiYe and valueless a region
far in excess CT the original bottom lands de-
stroyed.

view of these in juries denominated the process

threatening to continue. increase and be still

And yet the amount of debris found on the
lands bears no sort of comparison to the
amount lying in the streams, river channels
and bays. Investigation by Government OFF,
GERS places the amount in cubic yards at several
hundred millions, although no absolutely cor
rect estimate can be given. Yet with each
recurring examination the additions seem ap-
palling.
The following estimates are submitted as

HYDRAULIC MINING.
George Ohleyer of the State Anti-Debris
Association Gives the Views of
That Body,

10 the Editor Of the San Francisco Cdll-SIR. In
former article written for THE CALL on the
mining question the writer sought to explain
to the distant reader what hydraulic mining
really was. To the uninformed all mining
where water is used Is termed hydraulic, but
the hydraulic mining under review refers only
to the use of water under pressure, driven
through iron pipe and nozzle against bank
OF earth, gravel and sand with such force as to
reduce townships in extent to flowing mud, to
vex the streams and lands of the valley The
methods and execution were then described

operation, especially since the methods are
sought to be restored, behind dams if they
must, and apparently without dams If they can
Since it Is boldly proposed by some of Cali
fornla's congressman to secure aid for this
purely private business from the public treas
ury OF the United States, it becomes once more
living issue, especially to those who reside
below the hydraulic mining belt
And, since number of restraining barriers
have been carried away within the past few
approval of Government engineers for their
soltdity and permanency, we may well be ex-
cused for opposing further experimenting at
Government expense and valley risk.
That the world may know what is involved
In this debris question, it should go with us TO
the dump, which is the lower rivers and the
bays and harbor of San Francisco.
In 1880 State Engineer William H. Hall
found and so reported to the Governor and
Legislature, that 43 ,546 acres of land had been
injured ana destroyed by the onfow of hy-
draulic mining debris in the Sacramento
Valley.

War Department in 1891, acreage "destroyed"
