The San Francisco Chronicle has spe-
cial information from San Diego as to
important railway building enterprises
on the west coast of Mexico, from which
the conclusion is drawn that another
year will see the completion of road
10 the ports of Tepic and Mazatlan, and
possibly San Bias. 1t is learned that the
Central Railway is about to be extended
TO a Pacific port, either Mazatlan or
San Bias, probably the former. The
country between Guadalajara and San
Bias Is full of tremendous barrancas,
which have thus far defied the highest
engineering skill, and railroad builders,
after attempting repeated surveys, have
given up the task, calling that strip Of
country the toughest in North America.
The present plan is, therefore, to avoid
this section and work northward from
the port Of Tepic. The Central, after
reaching Tepic, will then extend its line
north and northeasterly to connect with
a branch Of the International, which
will connect Durango with Mazatlan.
The International is at work on this
branch and 1t will SION open up a rich
mining and sugar country.

ARE BIRDS GUIDED By sTARs7
An Attempt to Solve the Great Mystery
of Bird Migration.

VI DlIu
In an article on Birds Of Passage"
the Chautauquan says II one desires
an explanation for the great mystery
Of bird migration, there being nothing
else that will answer, he will have to
accept the theory Of hereditary knowl-
edge, a knowledge OF the unfailing
stars. The Great Bear and Orion ap-
peared at the same time in our region,
even when the divisions OF land and
water were very different than they are
today. That the stars are the guides
Of birds agrees with the fact that they
fly at remarkable heights. often above
the clouds, and that wanderers lose.
their way when they stray into clouds
and mlsts. On starlight nights strag-
Cling birds are seldom noticed. When
the sky is overcast. when the night Is
dark. but especially when a fine rain Is
falling, multltudes of travelling BIRDS
are heard. They will call often, doubt
less for the purpose Of keeping near
each other; and often great numbers OF
them bound against the windows Of
lighthouses. Thus Gatke has observed
that on Oct 2S, 1882 from 10 o'clock at
night till the next morning golden
crested wrens bumped like snowhakes
against the lighthouse of Heligoland,
and that on the following day golden
crested wrens sat on every square foot
Of Hellgoland. Toward the end of the
summer, along into the fall, 1t was not
a rare occurrence on dark nights to
see through the light Of street lamps,
birds flying over inland cities. The ex-
perienced observer recognizes by its call
the curlew and the strand-snipe, sea-
swallow and seagull occasionally hears
even the flap of their wings. But no
bird is visible in the darkness. On dark
nights no stars appear; then 1t is that
the straylng b:fd loses his way The
stars are the most plausible guides to
birds in their migrations. But only the
future can tell us whether they really
serve in that capacity.

The thoughtful student of current
events can scarcely doubt that Eng
land, maddened by the designing gods,
is fatuously pursuing her land-grab-
bing policy to her own destruction. For
now comes the astounding revelation
that she has nipped off the top of Min
nesota. No nation that had not grown
reckless to the degree of irresponsible
Ity would take liberties with the houn-
dairy of the state of Knute Nelson, lg-
natius Donnelly and Jim Hill. Any one
Of those gentlemen should be sufficient
to ward the integrity of state. That
an assault was made upon the common
wealth which contains all three of them
shows that the assailant is simply
crazy.

There is no other country in which
forest products are 50 layishly used as
in the United States. On the other
hand, no other country was originally
so we'll supplied with forest growth
The census returnA show that the per
capita consumption of lumber in this
country has increased for every decade
since 1860 at the rate of from 20 to %
per cent. The United States consumes
Of forest products for each inhabitant
double that consumed in Russia, ten
times that of Great Britain, four times
that Of France, five times that of Ger
many, and eight times that of Italy.
Never mind what our forest resources
are, we are using them up at so rapid
rate that the next generation will find
heavy forest growth as scarce in the
United States as in Europe, and COM
manding fully as high price. The
consumption of saw logs and pulp wood
is far ahead Of their growth, though
cord wood and spout growth are in
creasing faster than the cutting de-
mand.

A writer in Harper's Weekly states
that Cripple Creek, Colo, embraces an
area with radius of not more than
three miles. 1t contains, all told, per-
haps eight or ten square miles OF
ground. This at the outside would
yield six or seven hundred full claims,
On these there would be possibility
Bf finding rich veins enough to bear the
cost of working. There are in the dis
trict, so far, some twelve thousand To-
eated claims, from which one may judge
of the probable value of most Of them
OF these twelve thousand claims, OF
Course the many are merely fractional
About thirteen hundred are patented
and have title established, but only two
hundred are shipping ore. In other
words, there are ten thousand odd
claims in the district that so far as de-
Neloped are practically worth nothing
at ALL"

GROW RICH, EVERY FARMaR.

The editor thinks 1t to be the wish az
everybody to grow rich, not for the sake
of the money, but for the good that can
be done with the money. Now, there
are three new cereals recently created
that will make money for the farmer.
One is Silver King Barley, the most
wonderful creation OF the age, yielding
30, 100 to 116 bu. per acre in 1896, and
there are thousands Of farmers who be-
lieve they can grow 15O bu. per acre
therefrom in 1896, ......,.
Then there is Silver Mine Oats, yield
Ing in 1895 200 bu. per acre. Every
farmer who tested it, believes 25O bu
possible. tv5yj t,.
Then there is Golden Triumph Corn,
which produced over 200 bu. per acre,
and $50 bu. is surely possible. eHipsfr 81
And potatoes, there is Salzer's Ear
llest, which was fit for table in % days
in 1895, yielding tremendously, while
the Champion of the World, tested in
thousand different places in 1895, yield.
ed from to 1,600 bu. per acre.
B Now, in SalZers new catalogue there
is a wonderful srrayal of new varieties
of wheat, oats, barley, rye, potatoes,
grasses, olovers and forage plants, and
the editor believes that it would pay
every farmer thCusand-fold to get this
catalogue before buying seeds.

by Pepulists. There are six OF them. and
Two watch az time In shifts OF eight

tbs reply was that II was claimed that
twenty-five ballots In the Forty-strsg leyis-
iagiye district were marked by the inspsc-
tors or some one else. and that this was
contrary 10 law and would invaEdate the
election IN that district. They had re-
