company also owns 5000 acres OF land
in Merced county, this state, and 5000
acres near Phoenix, Ariz., of which lat

greater area is being planted there. in
addition to the 1000 acres being planted
near this place.

"
 ing at the Hyperion.
 A little woman with woe-begone countenance called upon MT. C. F.. Southard yesterday and said that she understood he was to show photographs of Alaska at the Hyperion this evening. MT. Southard assented.
 Well" said she, cant you show some that will keep my husband from breaking up our home and rushing off to the gold fields? For fifteen years we have labored and saved until we se- cured a home of our own and were contented and happy.
 But he has been reading about Klondike until he thinks of and talks about nothing else. He has offered the house for sale and has a customer, and as soon as it is sold he will give up his position and go."
 Here the little woman burst into a flood of tears Cant you say some thing about Alaska that will keep him from selling the house?" she continued.
 "I believe," replied MT. Southard, that after your husband gets to know something about the real hardships that await an inexperienced man he will not go.
 Suppose you bring him to see the photographs which will be shown with electric light. After he sees the fellow sailing through the grand canyon on the crest of wave that is rushing like a race horse he will think twice."
 70, he will be there Tuesday night. and so will IT. said she. He can't wait for the night to get here"
 Well, I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll introduce him to MT. Tober, the miner who has just returned from Klondike who will be present Tuesday evening" and he will no doubt be influenced by what he tells him"
 The woman went away with bright CT face and lighter heart, hoping that her husband may not sell the home.

STRANDED AT ST. M1cHAEL's.

Transportation Companies Hampered
 by Low Water in the Yukon.
 San Francisco, Sept. 1S.-As far as can be gathered from the reports given by those persons who returned from the Yukon on the steamship Cleveland, the complaints against two transport ation companies are unfounded. It is admitted that there are now at St. Mi chaers at least 1000 tons of provisions awaiting transportation up the Yukon, but a sufficient explanation of this is the low water in the river, which is serious obstacle to navigation.
 It has been charged that whiskey is carried up the river in place of food. Both companies bought liquor in Cam ada under bond to deliver it in Dawson. there being no bonded transit ware house at St. Michaels. The quantity which has gone up the river has been greatly exaggerated in reports.
 Reports of the gathering of a crowd of rowdies and thieves at St. Michaers are confirmed, and the stationing of a company of marines there to preserve order this winter is declared by those who have been there to be advisable.

BURGLARS MADE MERRY.

MT. Grant Found Evidences of Their
 Revelries When He Returned to His
 Home.
 Mount Vernon, N. Y., Sept. 13.-C. R. Grant of 137 South Eleventh avenue, an employe of the New York Central railroad, was at Asbury Park with his family last week and when he returned to his home yesterday he found that the house had been footed. On the dining room table were empty glasses which had evidently contained lemon ade. Scattered around the parlor and dining room were lemon peels and cake. Various small articles of silver plate, one ring and umbrellas had been sto- len.
 MT. Grant reported the robbery to the police, but with no practical results. A neighbor says the Grant house was brilliantly illuminated on the night of September 6, and in all probability the burglary was committed that night.
