TOLD BY A SYCAMORE TREE.
Marks Made Thirty Years Ago Found Be-
meath the Bark.


The line of survey between the Muscu.
piabe rancho and the forest reservation,
which has been so often disputed and
SO many times surveyed, has at last
been settled, and in a novel manner. A
huge sycamore tree has given witness,
and that in the form of a record that is
beyond dispute. The original survey
of the line in question was made almost
30 years ago. On the location of station
29 there has never been any dispute,
but many claims were put forth for
the location Of section 80. Later and
private surveys ckaim that the line
must have gone almost straight east
from section 90, which is in Devil
canyon. Again, the claim has been
made by surveyors that the line of tho
survey from station 90 to station so
runs in n general southeasterly direc-
ton. AS station 80 is over mile east
Of station 30, this made discrepancy
OF over !, 800 feet at station 80.
Many private surveys have been
made, and the exact location of the line
has been the subject of many thousands
of dollars worth of litigation. In the
Az pave 4dhh CdSCS IlllS lliS DCCA
one of the subjects of dispute. A short
time ago United States Surveyor G. A.
Perrine appeared in this city with n
force of men, and has been steadily
working on this survey ever since. The
original survey, made so years ago, was
the work of Surveyor John Hancock.
and the field notes made by him were
brought with Mr.. Perrine. When tho
disputed territory was passed there
was memorandum stating that a tree
had been blazcd near station so. Ar
irving at point where he thought the
station should be located, Mr.. Perrine
sighted over the surrounding country
for tree which he thought might have
been growing at the time of the first
survey.
tree was found that bore on its
trunk rough and gnarled spot. The
surveyor decided that if this was the
tree inside of the trunk should be indi.
cations of the original marks. He took
an ak, cut above and below the rough
spot, removed huge chip and there in
the heart of the tree were the original
marks made long ago. The characters
appeared inverted on the chip, and aa
plain as the day when first made-"M-
SOB. T." signifying Muscupiabe sta
ton 30 blazed tree.
The chip was brought to the city and
forwarded to the federal courts at Los
Angeles, where it will in the fhture be
used as evidence, clearly proving the
original line of survey. The marks on
the trunk of the tree had been over
grown with almost 80 years of growth,
80 that it was due to Mr. Perrine's per-
severance and knowledge of botany
that the line was definitely settled be-
yond all dispute.-San Bernardino Cali

never know what may save a man who

Many a man who seemed to be diving of
consumption, and whom the doctors pro-
nouuced just as good as dead, has got well
and strong and hearty again by using DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery This
wonderful medicine has shown the doctors
that consumption isn't always a fatal dis.
ease. 1t can be cured if you get at the
germs of it in the blood and clear them out
thoroughly That is what this Discovery"
does. 1t makes new od,-healthS blood.
The germs of consumption can't exist in
healthy blood. They simply let go their
hold and are carried out of the system
then the new blood builds up new tissue,
new flesh, new power, new life. 1t carries
vitality to the lungs the bronchial tubes and
every other part of the body.
1t cures people after cod liver oil has
failed because their digestive organs arc
too weak to digest fat foods. The Discov-
cry" makes the digestion strong.
For thin and pale and emaciated people
there is 10 flesh builder in the world to
compare ~ith it. 1t doesn't make fabby
fat, but hard, healthy flesh. 1t builds nerve
power and force and endurance. 1t is never
safe to pronounce any one dying of con-

Across the meadow, yonder on the hill,

Where through the lonesome days wild

The broodin' stiffness with their sweetest

Strange at ! couldn't see her worth in

But then. l seldom told her how she lent
A charm to home an driv' off much OF

When plowin in the field below her grave
Or when al noon l set out by the door
Beneath the vines at on the trellis wave:
Her mound is jest in sight, an ! can view
The little slab at tells one where she lays

The twilight's arm a-closin' round the

proved successful with their ancestors.
The first result of the constant pursuit
of which these fish were the objects

the most knowing mackerel survived,

FOOTBALL AND SCHOLARSHIP.
The Old Roman Idea Is to Be Carried
Out.

Out.
We are quite ready to believe that
university and college authorities are
looking more sharply after the scholar
ship of their athletes. There is certainly
no incompatibility between excellence
in athletics and excellence in the class
room. The history of college teams and
crews proves this to be true. There
are men who have Just come from the
football field who stand high in their
classes and who have lost nothing in
scholarship rank by reason of the games
and matches that they have PLAYED.
There is at least one of these men who
stands easily at the head of his class.
Faculties realize that they must see
to it that there shall be no loss of schol-
arship and no discredit to scholarship
by reason of intercollegiate athletics.
Only the other day the Ohio university
authorities compelled the captain of the
football team to resign his captaincy
because he had fallen behind in his
studies. No doubt in recent times there
has been disposition on the part OF pro-
fessors, most of whom are human and
proud of their institutions, to over
look ignorance and stupidity when man.
ifested by a strong-armed oarsman, a
cool-headed quarterback or a cunning
pitcher, but the day of the scholar is
surely coming again; for, while pro-
fessors who are fit instructors Of youth
are proud of their teams and dearly
love a victory of Drawn for their col
leges, at the bottom scholarship is really
their ideal and they will make it the
ideal of the institutions in which they
teach. The time will come. we
have no doubt, when the athlete viii
be subordinated to the scholar in even
the most bubbling of undergraduate
minds. and then we can say: What
if there was too much worship of Drawn

of what was considered mind but was
really sentimentality, and some of it
jmaudlin at that. Out of all has come
