SAN DIEGO, July 31.-(Regular Corre-

lake which he will long remember. While
driving slowly along the road there was a
rustling in the bushes just ahead of the
horse. Presently the bushes parted and
Mr. Cosgrove saw a long-bodied, lean
limbed, tawny-colored creature gliding
gracefully from the brush and stop within
a few feet of the horses nose. 1t was a
mountain lion fully nine feet long. Mr..
Cosgrove gave the animal the benefit of a
22-caliber revolver, but the small pellets
were harmless on the tough hide of the
lion, and the beast walked disdainfully into
the underground and disappeared. This
lion was one of the largest specimens of
its kind now to be found in North America.

LOS ALAMITOS

LOS ALAMITOS, July S1.-Regular Cor
respondence) A visit to the sugar fac,-fy
disclosed the fact that the beets delivered
from this neglected corner of the country
are of exceptional sweetness, averaging
1917 per cent sugar, the highest being rs 2-10
per cent This has never been exceeded in
any part of the country, and all the tables
for computation heretofore used are en-
tlrely too low to be of use. Superintendent
Dyer says that the sugar output is sur
prisngly large, and already shipments
have been made of several car loads. One
farmer, Mr.. Carse, has fifty acres of new
land from which he is getting twenty-one
tons per acre. at an average price of $3.50
per ton, or $9450 per acre. While this is ex-
ceptional. it shows what can be done with
