Old Glory Everywhere

Never before has the city been SO pro-
fusely decorated with the national en-
blem. The street decorations consisted
Of 6x12 flags suspended on either side of
the road from the trolley wires. inter-
spersed In the center of every block with
immense flags suspended from the tops OF
tall buildings.
The city hall, from the steps Of which
the mayor, grand marshal and division
marshals reviewed the parade, presented
almost q solid front Of stars and stripes.
The Chamber of Commerce was decorated
with large banners, Joined by strings OF
small flags. The court house was flut-
terlng mass of flags. one projecting from
each window in addition to the large ones
draped about the building.
Many of the stores had elaborate dec
orations, both in their windows and on the
front of buildings, and as every person
in the long line of marchers carried a
flag, probably no one in Los Angeles has
ever had such feast of Old Glory.
The decorations of the Hub received
much deserved attention and praise. With
Its canopy of national colors over the
sidewalk along the entire front, its por-
traits of Washington, Lincoln, Mckinley
and Dewey, and its numbers Of Chinese
lanterns, 1t had a beautiful display. The
decorations of the Boston store were notice.

top to the flagstaff in the middle, were 1900
small flags. There was patriotic window

a house made OF table linen, with artificial
roses running over the porticos and coll
umns In the garden, surrounded by trop-
zeal plants, were two figures. one repres-
senting America and the other Cuba.
Another very neat idea in decorating
was seen on one of the Spring street stores.
Across the front was row of American,
Cuban and English flags arranged alter
nately.
Several of the business blocks were dec

trees of Central park, had an opportunity
to do so. The Indian boys band from the
PERKS school gave very enjoyable open
air concert from the band stand and had
a large crowd of listeners, who enjoyed
their efforts. The seats were all filled and
hundreds sat on the grass in groups, or
made themselves comfortable under the
trees in any way suited to their comfort.
The children, of which there were large
numbers, kept the festive firecracker pop

had the appearance of enjoying to the full
the opportunity to rest. and the music of

of number of li;tls girls appealed to the
patriotism Of the people, and the girls were
cheered all along the line of march.

About Mother Lodes.

With an idea that physiological
priniples run through the formation
of ores many miners believe in what
is termed the smother lode" 1t has
grown to be popular superstition
in almost every mining district that
somewhere in the locality mother
lode can be found, compared with
which the kid lodes amount to moth
ing. Nobody thinks of looking fol
the brother lode, the sister lode, OF
the mother-in law lode, but all are
on the search for the mother lode
AS a matter of fact there is no such
thing as mother lode, unless at
some great depth in the bowels Of
the earth number of veins CARRYING
similar classes of ore run together
into a common body. But mother
lode, if entitled to that name, never
comes to the surface.
Some veins are larger than Others
but there is no parentage implied in
that fact. 1t is merely the circum-
stance of larger fssure in the rocks
filling up with veinous matter and
ore. Thousands upon thousands ol
dollars have been squandered by
men in search of some great parent
al lode. This is one of the most
prominent features of placer dis
trict. In the Klondyke country
promoters talk glibly about the
mother lode as if rich placer nee
essarily meant the existence of some
lode that had mothered the deposits

The Yukon, the great river OF
Alaska, is navigable for large steam
ers, as one unbroken flood ,96o
miles from its mouth, to where the
Lewes and Pelly rivers unite to
form it, or farther than New Orleans
to st. Paul, and more than twice as
far as from New Orleans to Chicago,
and navigable for light draft boats
hundreds of miles farther up each OF
these arms. At its mouth it is
about 80 miles wide, and | 400 miles
above it is from s to 70 miles in
width. 1t drains an empire of more
than 100000 square miles. and dis
charges nearly as much water into
Bering sea as the Mississippi does
into the Gulf of Mexico. Scores of
mighty tributaries, many of them
navigable streams, pour their waters
into its majestic channel. About
1850 miles above its mouth, the

with fish, empties into it. Along
