swordfish CXiphias), desperate with
hunger, had combined their forces and
ventured to attack a half grown bull
cachalot. Nothing, am persuaded, but
the direst necessity and pressure of
want could have prompted them to un-
dertake so grave a conflict, although it
must needs be confessed that their COM
bination was powerful one.
1t fell to the swordfish to lead off, and
he launched himself at the whale like
a Whitehead torpedo, pointed direct for
the most vital part. But a gentle swerve
of the wary cachalot presented to the
attack, instead of the vulnerable broad
side, the oblique impenetrable mass of
the head The awful blow of the sword,
impelled by the furious speed of the
mass behind it, struck just below the
whales eye, ripping white streak dag
onally upward through the grisly sub
stance covering the skull, but spending
it's force in the air above, while the
great body following glided serpent-like
right over the whales head, and fell
helplessly upon the other side. With in
credible agility for so vast bulk, the
cachalot turned, settling slightly with
al, then rising lower jaw uppermost, he
caught the xiphias fairly in the center
between those mighty shears. and cleft
him in two halves. A sideway shake of
the great head, a scarce perceptible
gulp, and the tail half of that swordfish
slid down the whales cavernous throat
with as much ease and rapidity as if it
had been an oyster. Meanwhile, the
orcas had not been remiss in supporting
the spirited attack of their Inflated CO.
adjutor One hung upon either flank of
their giant foe and worried him as dogs
a boar.
But their time had come. After vainly
endeavoring by rolling and writhing to
free himself from them, he suddenly
changed his tactics. Rearing himself
majestically out of the seething eddies
like a mighty column of black rock, he
fell backward, tearing himself away
from the clinging monsters. Up rose
his enormous tail from the boiling vor
tex and, descending like a gigantic
scythe, literally crushed one of his ag-
gressors beneath it, the blow reverberat-
ing like thunder, The survivor fed, but
the infuriated Titan pursued leaping,
like a dolphin, half out of the sea at
every bound, and although we could not
see the end of the chase, we have little
doubt but that Orca gladiator paid the
full penalty of his rashness under the
lethal sweep of those terrible jaws

THE TAVERN OF CASTLE CRAC

The Tavern of Castle Crag was built
the foot of Mount Shasta, and amid
the most picturesque mountain scenery.

rare combination of flowing water, in
spring mountain scenery and inviting
forests.
The Tavern of Castle Crag, with its
splendid environment, it was believed
would appeal chiefly to those who seek
a sumemr resort for health, recreation.
outdoor sports, sympathy with nature
and informal sociability. To empha-
size this intention and signify the kind
of invitation extended, the name TAV-
ERN of Castle Crag was chosen.
To avoid all implication of sumptuous
accommodations or the tyranny of So
cial Journalism, and to realize this orig
inal conception. the management has
decided to make the Tavern of Castle
Crag distinctively family resort and
especially attractive to those to whom
health. recreation and sympathy with
nature are paramount considerations.

ond floors of this splendid taxern with
board will be furnished at a monthly
rate of 500 person; and rooms on the
third floor with board at monthly
rate of $50 person.

are first class in every particular. Its
parlorS and halls are elegant and spac-
lous. Its verandaS are cool and invit-
ing, placing the guest always in the
presence of the most attractive noun
tain scenery to be enjoyed from the
balcony of any tavern in the world.
The opportunity for outdoor sports
embraces hunting, fishing, riding, BIZ
cycling, walking on mountain paths
and driving on picturesque roads TIE
Tavern is located immediately On the
main trunk line of the California &.
Oregon Railroad, and is fourteen hours
ride from San Francisco, twelve hours
from Stockton, ten hours from Sacra-
mento, thirty hours from Los Angeles
and twenty-three hours from Portland.
The Tavern of Castle Crag is reached
from San Francisco and Sacramento
without loss of time. The train leaves
San Francisco at o'clock D. M. arriy-
ing early the following morning for
breakfast, which is always ready upon
the arrival of the train. Returning, the
train time affords equal accommoda-
ton. mus DOIn IN going and in COM
ing the comforts of the passenger and
the economy of his time have been
studied In brief, the Tavern of Castle
Crag realizes to its guests the perfect
ideal of that spring time in the high al
titudes of the Sierras which never be-
comes high summer, and is the COM
Portable home of pleasing recreation
and restful repose.

HE WILL SUE THE CITY
j. VI. BROWN WILL INSTITUTE MAN
DAMUS PROCEEDINGS
TO Force the City To Accept His
Did for the building of the
Fair Grounds school.

The papers We're prepared yesterday and
will be filed today by MIR. Stanley Thomp-
son for j. Nj. Brown, contractor, asking
the district court to issue a writ of man
dainus TO compel the city TO accept Mr..
Browns bid for the building of the pro-
posed new school building in the Fair
Ground addition, on the ground that his
was the lowest bid and ls such should have
been accepted.
Mr.. Browns bid was $1,000 TO construct
the building according to plans and speci-
tications, with ST. Louis pressed brick, or
$4,000 with common brick.
he city council at its last meeting
adopted the report OF the board of pubic
works recommending that the contract be
awarded to c. II. VIM for S34,965.
Mr. Browns contention Is that the bid
accepted is $685. in excess Of his. He says
the board assigned no reason in their re-
port why his bid for S3i 900 was rejected.
except that Il was irregular He says that
his bid contained all the qualifications re-
CURED by the plans and specifications and
was in strict conformity with the adver-
tisement calling for bids.
For some explanation of the action of the
board of public works in recommending 10
the council the acceptance OF Mr.. VIM 5
bid In preference 10 that Of Mr. Brown d
reporter for The Post called upon Mr. B.
A. Rfesner, the chairman of the board.
why the matter is plain enough" re-
piled Mr.. Riesner., THE bid OF Mr..
Brown to do the work according 10 plans
and specifications was s31 .9o0. While that
of Mr.. VIM to do the work according TO
plans and specifications was S34ss5,
I'VE did not consider MIR. Browns bid
for s34 900 for common brick, which he
contends was the lowest bid for the reason
that the plans and specifications do not
call for common brick. IL would have been
very unwise To have accepted such bid
as under the head OF common brick what
is known as a salmon brick could have
been used. which, in a building of such
proportions, would have crumhled in the
walls by its own weight. Mr. Browns bid
according TO plans and specifications was
s3T 900. This Is all there Is in IT,
What do You think about tho suit Mr
Brown proposes to bring against the city
10 compel the acceptance of his bid y
mo such suit, in my opinion. can be
sustained In the first place. the city in
ALI OF its lettings reserves the right 10
reject any and all bids. and. sgain, all bids
are made with the understanding that the
lowest and best bid win be accepted. aud
