CRIMSON RIMS. .

<The farmer hates the steed of steel;
 The reasons very plain.
 It won't eat oats. and so the wheel
 Goes much against his grain.''
 Not in Arizona We sell $50 Syra- cItse bicycles to farmers every month. As a rule they know more about ma chinery than the city man. They can see the strong points of a wheel at a glance, and are not to he swindled into buying a cheap rattle-trap ma chine. They buy Crimson Rim bi- cycles, not for their color, but for their quality. They want a wheel to USE. The Syracuse finds it's strongest friends among the farmers.

A Costly Saddle.

The richly bespangled saddle of the
Mexican ranchero has finally been
eclipsol, and by on American. The
remarkable saddle which has won this
distinction for the United States is
owned by D. W. Thompson. of Santa
Barbara, CAL, and is worth $4,000.
The silver and gold used in its decor
alton are alone worth $4,000.
While Mr.. Thompson's home is in
Santa Barbara, he has an extensive
ranch in Ventura County, California,
and it is here that he makes use of his
notable property. The saddle is Of
typical Mexican patterns, with1a high
pommel, well-hollowed seat and tho
most elaborate Of trappings.
The saddle is of fine embossed leath-
er, set thick with silver buttons and
rosettes; the pommel is encased with
silver, the corners Of the apron are
tipped with it and the stirrups are
faced and edged with silver half an
inch thick, elaborately chased and
carved. The saddle-tree is hung with
silver rings to answer the vaquero's
requirements.
The girth which secures the saddle
in place is woven from horses names
by native artisans, and is fully eight
inches broad. The reins, martingale
and whip are composed of solid sill
yer in woven strands. The headstal]
is covered with futed silver with
large silver rosettes at the side, and
an elaborate nose-piece with q silver
chain under the jaw. The bride
reins and accessories weigh over twelve
pounds.
Every year Mr.. Thompson add!
something to the exquisite beauty anc
value of the saddle, although it ha
already cost sum which represents
very comfortable yearly income

The PILGRIMS Church Doomed.I

Consul Listoe, Of Rotterdam, re-
ported to the State Department in
Washington that tho church from
which the Pilgrim Fathers departed
in 1920 is in danger Of being sold and
torn down. It is the Herformde
Kirke reformed Church) at Delft
Haven. The pulpit, altar and some
of the Bibles used by the Pilgrims are
still in the church. The church rec
ord gives an account of the departure
ofthe Pilgrims. The congregation is
poor, Consul Listoe says. and without
help may not be able to retain the
building. Here is an exceptionally
fine chance for some wealthy American
to distinguish himself by buying the
ancient edifce, transporting it to this
country and erecting it near the fa'
nous Plymouth Rock and the I'll

Red Eagle, Now of the Volunteers.


Red Eagle, French-Iroquois In"
1ian, who was present ct the death Of
Sitting Bull during the Sioux uprising
in the winter of 1890, described the
incident OF the Volunteer barracks last
night. Red Eagle is o young man,
tall and rather handsome, in feature
giving little token of his Indian de-
scent. He dresses in on Indian cos.
tune of some stuff resembling buck
skin, plentifully frilled and fringed
about the edges, and covered over
with fangles and bangles that set Oft
by their glister the red and yellow OF
bis coverings. His long black hair,
falling loosely about his shoulders,
adds q picturesque effect to his gen
eral makeup, which, however, takes
one homogeneous note from the glasses
that sit astride his nose.
Red Eagle has a remarkable COM
mand Of English. His talk is bright,
and favored with rough and ready
wit that seems to take immensely with
his hearers. He is type of the ira
ditional Indian orator in that he pos.
sesses certain simple eloquence
coupled with power Of putting things
that hold the attention Of his audience
throughout. For the last seven years
he .has been engaged in missionary
work, chiefly amongthe Indians. Now
no is travelling in the interests OF the
. Volunteers of America. Omaha Bee

DUG Tn Pounds of Gold.

David Ward, who returned from
Alaska recently, is enthusiastic over
a find he made on the American side
Of the Klondike region, which he be-
lieves will pan out for richer than any
of the territory that has been worked.
He has with him o number of nuggets
which are unusually large.
Speaking of his discovery, N.
Ward said: II had two Indians with
me, working as guides and compan-
ions. After hard days tramp I gave
the order to get ready for pitching q
| camp, and directed the Indians where
| to place the cache. Being dead tired
1 threw myself on the ground beside
the river to take a rest. I was just
doing off when the Indians came to
me and said the location would have
to be changed, as they had struck
rock which made it impossible to sink
the holes deep enough to hold. I got
I'D and examined the dirt they had
dug out and found that it was thick
with nuggets. This turned out to be
pocket, and I got nearly four pounds
by washing out the few cubic yards Of
| dirt.
1T is to this locality" said Mr..
Ward, "that I propose to take my
party. After we stake off our claims
there will be room for twenty thou
sand miners, and everybody will be
able to get plenty if they will only
work for it.

system in Road Maintenance.

No one has ever supposed that roll
road corporations spend money for the.
mere sake Of spending it, Or adopt e1-
pensiye methods when cheaper ones
are better. It must be, then, that
there is some pretty substantial rea-
son for dividing their roadbeds into
sections, and keeping men constantly
employed on each in caring for them.
Precisely the same principle applies
TO ordinary highways; the only way
that they can be efficiently maintained
is by cstablishinga similar system, and
the more expensive they are to con.
struct, the greater the saving that will
thereby be made, and increased efi'
cheney secured.

Economy of Broad Tires.


The Missouri Experiment Station
(Columbia) recently published On il
Illustrated bulletin describing q series
of interesting experiments on the
draught of broad and narrow tired
wagon wheels. The tests were made
with each kind on macadam, gravel and
dirt roads and on farm fields in all
conditions. Tho experiments are sum-
married. as follows:
The broad tires pulled materially
lighter on the macadam streets and the
gravel roads; also on dirt roads in all
conditions, except when soft or sloppy
on the surface, unlerlaid by hard
roadbed, and when the mud was very
deep and sticky. In both these con-
ditions the narrow tires pulled con-
siderably lighter. It should be borne
in mind, however, that the roads are
in these conditions for comparatively
short period Of time, and this at sea.
sons when their use has naturally
been reduced to the minimum. The
tests on meadows, pastures, stubble
land, corn land and ploughed ground
in every condition, from dry, hard and
firm to very wet and soft, show, with
out single exception, large saving
in draft by the use Of the broad tires.
The bulk ofthe hauling done by the
farmer is on the farm, in hauling feed
from the fields and hauling manure
from tho barns, etc. The actual ton
mage hauled to market is insignificant
in comparison with that hauled about
on the farm, inasm1ch as large pro
portion of the products Of the average
, farm is sent to market in the form O

Good Roads Build Towns.

Three years ago a little farming
settlement in New Jersey was inter-
sected by good roads. The location
was charming and invited the erection
of summer homes. With the advent
of good highways, the residents came,
and prosperous village grew up
made possible solely by the construc-
ton of hard and durable highways.

The Highways of New Jersey.

Thirty years ago about the first
macadam roads in tho State were BULL
in Essex County, N. J. The work
was gradually extended, and was
taken up by Union County, and these
two counties laid many miles Of stone
roads before the system Of State aiG
WAS inaugurated. At the present
time, nearly every county in the State
is building macadam roads. The State
bears one-third Of the expense, but sc
many applications are now made for a
share Of the annual appropriation
that the 100000 appropriated will
need to DO raised to three times that
amount it the contemplated roads are
to be built.
In 1891 the appropriation was $780,.
600. In 1898 it was increased to S75,.
600, but only $4,000 were spent. In
1894 four counties were building roads,
and the whole appropriation was used;
in 1895 six counties were at work; in
1896 there were eight counties; i'll
1897 eleven counties, and now nine
teen out Of the twenty-one counties in
the State have made application for
their shares.
There are now so many miles CT
stone roads in the State that it can be
traversed in nearly oil directions with
out leaving them. During the past
year the expense Of building macadam
roads was considerably reduced. Ii
order to preserve good roads and i'm
prove bad ones, it is proposed to give
q rebate of dollar-and-a-half in taxe'
for each wheel in habitual use on heav,
wagons whose tire is four inches O.
moro in breadth.
Under the law passed. last year com
missioners have determined the valu
of some of the toll roads, and If TIL
policy is pursued the State will 500
possess nothing but free public high
ways.
