the Country Club are many Swiss and
Italian farmers. They are famous for sue
cess in dairy farming, and since Marin
County is a favored region by reason of
the great number of it's springs, streams
and lakes the dairy industry thrives. The
ocean fogs bear moisture IN the summer
months, and hence there is no season of
the year when the grazing cattle cannot
find green grass.
The leading representatives of the Coun-
try Club may decide to open its member
ship to other than members of the Pacific
Union Club. AS the rule stands now only
members of the Pacific Union are eligible
to the Country Club. To belong to the
City institution an initiation of 5000 and
annual dues of $120 are required. Then
to join the Country Club there is another
initiation fee of $3.50, as well as annual
dues of $100, so the cost of initial mem
bership in the club reaches $3.50. Of the
100 members belonging to the institution,
that number being the present limit, per-
haps not more than twenty-five take an
active interest in fishing and hunting, and,
indeed, all of these are not enthusiasts in
the sport.
1t has been suggested that other young
men of the City, who would make excellent
members and fully comprehend the spirit
and purposes of the organization, should
be admitted to membership without first
joining the Pacific Union.

IN REAL MS OF MYSTERY,
Professor Francis Angel on
HallucinationS and
Illusions.

Planchette- moving, mind-reading, table
turning and spirit-rapping were among
the subjects touched upon by Professor
Francis Angel of Stanford University dur
ing his lecture on illusions and Hallu-
cinstions" delivered last night in the hall
of the Academy of Sciences.
There are undoubted facts" he said,
(which science is unable to explain. If
we were asked to say what we perceived in
this hall after leaving it tonight there
would be vast difference among the de-
scriptions given. Some would be faithful
and others misleading. We know that
some artists have so perfect faculty of
mental imagery that thev can paint per-
feet portrait from one sitting. An in
stance of sound memory is that furnished
in the case of Mozart, who after one hear
ting reproduced in written score the famous
'Miserere' sung by seven distinct vocal
parts.
I'VE have many things in mind which
have no present place in consciousness.
The ticking Of a clock may be in our
minds, but we are not conscious of it until
1t stops, as a general thing. Another
point is that the things which we have in
mind always tend to come into the realm
of consciousness. The question suggests
itself why these hidden thoughts of the
mind do not assume reality. l answer that
sometimes they do. We often keep them
down, and resist them, when they strive
to come to the light of consciousness; but
when we are free from conventional re-
stralpts, as in dreams, in sleep, under
hypnotic control, or under the influence
of hashish, or opium, they become start
ingly real.
Many of the tricks of so-called magi-
clans are attributed to sleight of hand, but
without sufficient reason. The mental i'm.
preston caused in the beholder by the
looks and acts OF the performer seems to be
completely overlooked. The secret con-
sists in the magician impressing the idea
of what he feigns to perform. The idea of
motion is incipient motion itself. This
principle being admitted, much light will
be cast upon the operations of the plan
chette.'

CHANGES NEAR THE PRESERVES
A Big Creamery and Special Milk
Train May Be Established for
brakes Bay.

The dairy region of Marin County, from
Tomales Bay to San Rafael and within
easy distance of the North Pacific Coast
Railroad, is capable of supplying daily
with fresh milk and cream the entire
population of San Francisco The railroad
people are willing to put On special milk
train early in the morning, to run from
Point Reyes and connect with the bay
ranches may be delivered in the City at
the proper hour in the morning.
J. B. Sletson, the president of the COM
pany, and William F. Russell, general
freight agent of the line, can show to the
milkmen in that region that creamery
enterprise at Point Reyes would be profit
able to both the farmers and the railroad.
but the milkmen yet prefer to adhere to
the old and safe plan of converting the
milk into butter. In order to get the
traffic the company may decide to pro-
mote the Establishment of a creamery at
Point Reyes and buy all the milk that can
be bought there, and, if necessary, make
the surplus into cheese of the finest quality
known.
Recently a company has been incor-
porated to establish creamery near an
estuary of brakes Bay. where water power
is available, to handle dairy products by
what is known as the Russell process. DR..
Burdell, Mr.. Abbott and others are en-
gagged in the enterprise. If plans in view
are carried ont, milk and cream may be
sent by water, using tugboat service from
the landing near the creamery to the
San Francisco wharf. Tempestuous
weather during the winter season might
interfere with the transportation of the
dairy product, but evidently the promo
ters of the enterprise have taken such
chances into account.
report has gained currency that the
preserves of the Country Club would be
cut up into sixty-acre tracts and leased for
milk ranches. The rumor in this respect
is misleading. Fred r. Webster, one of
the directors of the club, was seen yester-
day, and said it was not the purpose of the
institution to so allot its preserves. Facts
which he submitted show very clearly that
the club is in a prosperous condition. 1t
owns clubhouse. stables, kennels and
lands adjoining valued at $30,000 and is
not in debt. Its possessions or preserves,
over which it holds long leases, cover 76,-
600 acres of land. The hills and forests
abound in game. The many lakes and
streams are stocked with trout, and the
stock is replenished annually with 1O0,-
600 to SEQ 900 fish.

Result of the Publication of a Fake
Story Concerning Her.
Clara Louise Kellogg's occasional ap-
pearance at modest downtown table
d'hote a year ago gave rise to the story
that has gone the rounds of Western
country papers that her once large for
tune had been lost in business speculation,
making it necessary for her to live in the
cheapest fashion. This story was pub.
lished in freak New York newspaper
first, and the poverty of the famous SINCE,
was described with much pathos. Once
started, the story travelled rapidly
to the amusement of Misc Kel
logg's friends, who knew that severa
hundred thousand dollars stood between
her and the poverty so graphically de.
scribed. Not long ago the farmers papers
OF Iowa published the story, and as re-
suit Miss Kellogg received tribute that
has pleased her. 1t was a letter from al
Iowa farmer and his wife asking her te
make her home with them. The letter re.
ferred to Miss KelIogg's alleged poverty
and the writers said that they hadn't much
money themselves, but that if Mis-.
Kellogg would share it with them
hadn't car fare, they offered to SEND
her money enough to pay her ex
penses. In explanation of their offel
they said that lew years ago they had
heard her sing in Chicago. Miss Kellogg
wrote TO her Iowa admirers that she ap,
preciated the kindness of sheir invitation
but that she had not been reduced te
poverty. She told them that she occa
sionally went to cheap table d'hote din.
ners to get special dishes that she en-
joyed, and to see the people who fre-
quented them. Miss kellogg wrote q.
nice letter as she knew how, and the ole
couple acknowledged it, and replied thai
they were pleased that Miss kellogg was
not reduced to poverty, and at the same
time disappointed because she could mo-
accept their hospitality. y.-Pittsburg Dis

1t was stated positively at the in
terror department Monday that the
opening of the agricUlt i lands in
the Red Lake reservation will not be
delayed by the states claim to the
swamp lands. Neither will there be
any delay over the boundary question.
1t is proposed 30 reserve all the
lands involved in these disputes, if no
settlement is reached before the time
they are advertised, and settle their
status later. The area Of lands opened
will be about the same as originally
proposed, as late returns have added
about 100000 acres to that originally
scheduled for opening.

agreement was OF this character and
was not intended to affect Eckman's
title, evidence was introduced to show
that the services of those parties were
paid for, in accordance with the state

instrument. The claim was shown
to be worth $1,000. aud the parties
were paid 500. The sum actually
paid. as compared with the worth of
the property is to small to throw

PASSED AWAY.
Harry Nee, the Well known Duluth Land
Attorney Dies.

Harry Nee. the well known land at
torney, was found dead in his bed at
his home, 2l25 East Superior street,
Tuesday. There is no doubt but it
was caused by apoplexy.
Mr.. Nee was feeling very well yes
terday and was attending to his bust
ness as usual. He went home during
the evening, probably between and
10 O'Clock and soon after retired. He
was in the habit of reading in bed
and often fell asleep with the lamp
lighted. 1t happened SO last evening.
During the night. at about 1870
O'Clock, one of his sons awoke and
heard him snoring quite loudly.
After time he stopped and the boy
went to sleep again.
This morning about s o'clock his
son Wilfred went into the room to
call his father. He found him cold
and could get no response. He ran
across the street and told DR.. Weston.
who hurried over. He found that
Mr.. Nee had been dead for several
hours and judged that he must have
expired about 2 O'Clock. The lamp
was still burning, his book was on the
bed near him and his spectacles were
lying on the table.
Apoplexy was beyond question the
case of deatl.. Mr. Nee has had at
tacks OF it before, having several
times been taken with a sudden
dizziness and partial Inconsistencies
which would quickly pass. however.
His father. mother and two brothers
died of the same affection.
Mr.. Nee was IL years of age and
had resided in Duluth about nine
yeals. He also at one time made this
city his home. He came there from
Manistee. Mich. and during the first
four years of his residence was an
explorer. For the past five years he
has practiced before the United
States land Office. He was married
man and Mrs. Nee is visiting at
Blissfeld. Mich, whether she went
about week ago. They have four
children, three boys. Walton, Will
fred and Harry and one daughter,
Ellen. The latter is the youngest
and is years old. He was member
of Ionic lodge, A. F. and a. NJ, and
that organization will have charge of
the funeral.

One of the latest developments in
connection with the states claim to
section 80 as swamp land, is the state
ment that Auditor Dunn will cancel
the lease now in existence on the
section. Heretofore the state auditor
has never admitted that any lease,
was issued. He now says the lease
was issued On an agreement that the
parties securing the lease should make
the fight for the state at their own
expense. They have failed to do this,
and the auditor is prepared to cancel
their lease, which he claims he was
compelled to issue in order to be in
position to make the fight. The fact
is that the parties who secured the
lease now see that the state has little
chance of winning and they are viii
ling that the state should pay the
expense of fighting the case.-Herald.
