The San Joaquin Valley road directors
have authorized the purchase of 1000 tons
of steel rails for continuing work toward
Bakersfield. Four surveys are being made
across the tule lands from Stockton to-
ward Bethany. One follows the line of
the old San Francisco and Salt Lake pro-
jected railroad. and the other three are
nearly parallel thereto. When this work
has been completed borings will be made
to ascertain the depth of the solid SUBJ
stratum.

berry canes in June, and there is no
remedy for this except to cut out the
affected parts and stimulate the
growth of the plants. The plum
knot and peach yellows are the great
summer foes that try the patience of
farmers and battle the ingenuity of
scientists. The former is fungous
growth which appears early in June,
but the spores of which are sown in
September of the preceding year.
The plum knot must be cut out
with knife in the spring and fall.
In New York there is law com
pelling all farmers to cut out the
plum knot, under severe penalty.
The knot must be burned immedi-
ately. When trees are covered with
the knot, the best way is to cut them
down aud burn every part of them.
The peach ycllowS is also a fun
gous growth; and, like the plum
knot, the most effective way is to cut
it out and destroy it by fire.
Liberal applications of the Bordeaux
mixture sometimes prove remedy
for the yellows. The yellows cause
enormous losses to the peach growers
OF the Delaware peninsula.

den and on every plant Plant lice

These are only some of tho most
common and formidable foes the
farmers have to contend with in the
summer season. Others appear al

Up, up, the happy loyer crept,

And all was still as death.
Another step, another round.
And then their lips would meet
Alas the ladder broke, and he

Her father bade him GO;

And it was better so!
Ah, that was many years ago:
They re married he and she,

And he's the father of maid
He watches well, to-day.

The Fate OF n Mexican who Betrayed
an Indian Secret.

Notwithstanding the comparatively
recent date Of the discovery of the
marvellous wealth of the Cripple |
Creek district of Colorado, there are
not wanting stories and legends |
pointing to an earlier knowledge of
the gold deposits by the Indians
There is yet told by early prospect
ors of that region wierd and tragic
tale of early days which would seem
to show that the Indians not only
knew where the gold deposits were
and availed themselves of this
knowledge, but had very clear
perception of what would take place
if the white men learned of it.
In the olden days, so the story
runs, Mexican was seized with
dangerous illness which would have
caused his death but for the kind
and skillful attendance of a physi-
sian among the band of prospectors
who fell in with him. When the
Mexican regained his health his
gratitude knew no bounds. He paid
the doctor literally from a bag of
gold he carried, and offered to guide
the party to the spot where album
dance of gold could be found If they
would follow his instructions. He
had been adopted and reared by the
Indians, he said, and knew the Sc
cret from them but great caution
would be necessary, for If the saw
ages knew or suspected him to be
guilty of betraying their secret he
well knew what fate awaited him.
The little party submitted them.
selves to his guidance, He led them
for days by intricate and devious
paths, and finally brought them to 8

In the shade of tall elm sat man

Mrs. Rice, her brown eyes dane

When Jim Rice drove into Dane
vile at sunset that day he was hailed
from a doorway by Deacon Gibbs.
The Deacon'S little round face was
shining with merriment.
"Say, Jim," he began, stroking
his beard to hide the convulsive
twitchings of his lips, you are on

Mr.. Barnes, coming out of the store

The byStandCrs, who had gathered

laughter.

angry frown.

his whip.

In gigantic red capitals, sprawling

out Prue's silvcry voice

but in vain. Finally they started up
the ravine he had pointed out to
them the previous evening, hoping
to find some trace Of him. And
when they had followed the gorge
for some distance they came upon
the smouldering embers Of fire.
In the midst stood the charred
stump Of green stake, and crum-
bling in the ashes were the bones
and burned flesh of the poor Mexi-
can. Not redskin was in sight.
Whether the men knew that they
were watched, and that the discov-
cry of the gold would mean the
death of the whole party, or whether
they really searched and could not
find it, is not known. But it is GER
tain that they did not find the mar

his white friends and leading an
honest life. Just before the Confed-

and that he would send him ticket,
meet him at the train, and that he
would be his, Jim Richardson's,

would pay all his expenses. When
the old negro was found he was hoe
