In his paper read before the Statistical

though almost all people indulge IN some
form of intoxicant the majority drink the
liquor that their own country produces. inc
nations of southern Europe drink WINE;
even the peasant has his flask of thin and
rather sour ordinaire. Those of the north
drink beer almost as universally. though
In the bleakest regions the preference is
for more ardent forms of alcohol Bat ey-

The amount of wine that is drunk

amazing In France the consumption per

the average Italian drinks twenty gallons
annually and the average Spanlard eight

the annual consumption of the United

A STREAM THAT REsIsIs COLD.
Klamath Creek Impervious to the
Freezing Weather.

There is a stream in southern Oregon
called klamath Fort Creek that never
freezes even in the eoldest weather. George
II Wilson, local forecast official of The
United States Weather Bureau, is author
ity for this statement.
klamath Fort Creek is neither wide nor
long Its headwEters gush out from the
huge powders back of the fort II runs
through the valley and empties into an
other insignificant stream. IN winter, no
matter how hard the ground is, there is
never sign OF ice in its water
The theory advanced by Mr.. Wilson to
account for this phenomenon is peculiar.
The soil OF that section of Oregon is OF
volcanic origin twenty-five miles away is
& crater lake 1000 feet above sea level. An
extinct crater rises out of the centre Of
this lake to a height Of 1.0c0 feet. The
country round is covered with ashes to the
| depth of several inches Pumice stone and
other permeable matter compose the upper
strata and the water cfrcuiates freely
through this layer
Combined with the current Of the stream.

Wells Lodge No. %, Knights OF
Pythias was instituted at Wells Tues
day by Grand Chancellor Chris D.
Zeigler. assisted by members from
Elko, OWyhee. Acquila. and Pyramid
lodges of this State and Rocky Noun
tain of Utah. Twenty-Five of Wells
best citizens were made Knights and
the new lodge promises to soon double
its membership.
The social side of the affair was a
grand banquet rendered the visitors by
the members Of the new lodge Tuesday
evening at the Bulls Head Hotel,
covers being laid for about a hundred
and fifty. The board groaned with
good things to eat and the hosts did
themselves and their ladies' great
credit. There was feast of soul and
flow Of wit to top the occasion. but we
must make this article brief.
The editor of the DISPATCH was
present and must say he was royalty
treated by the people Of Wells during
the visit.
At five o'clock in the morning ac-
companied by Hon. w. H. Coryell we
strolled around the town. Wells has a
prosperous look, the residences are all
neat and tasty buildings of the cottage
type and present cozy and homelfke
appearance. The Presbyterian church
is exceptionally good in architectural
design and will always attract attention
from visitors.
Upon the invitation Of Brother
Vardy we viewed the Nevada State
Herald plant and building inside and
out We found we'll equipped office
roomy. comfortable and inviting.
The Herald is a newsy sheet and
carefully edited. George has many
friends in Western Nevada who
will be pleased to hear he is doing
we'll in a business way and enjoying
good health. His bachelor quarters
and surroundings have caused him to be
the recipient Of offers every leap year
to share them with some fair young
lady, but while we believe he is envious
when he sees DR.. Olmstead and the
perambulator promenading, he is en-
tirely too shy to shine in that way.
We also spent several amusing and
instructive hours with AL. Fisher and
his cabinet of curios. Ii is undoubtedly
the best collection in the State and
would attract all kinds Of attention
otherwise. Mr.. Fisher was very
courteous to the visitors and proved to
be a very affable gentleman. We
would advise every visitor to Wells to
see his establishment. His home Is a
pretty place and he spends many hours
in improving it. He sends his regards
to his friends in this section. He is one
Of the best known men in Nevada and
has large heart.
There are two teachers In the public
school, Mr. Brandon grammar grade
and Miss Douglass Of Reno in the
primary department. We did not meet
Mr. Brandon but found in Miss Douglass

SECRETARY HAY AND THE VEL.
LOWS

Secretary of State Hay is one of the
most polite and patient of men. He
likes to be helpful to newspaper cores
pondents, and receives them freely in
his Office, and gives them such informa-
ton and hints as the proprieties will
permit. Even the representatives of
the sensational or yellow papers are
treated with courtesy, though natural
ly with due caution. Imagine the sec
retary's surprise one afternoon during
the heat of the Chinese crisis, when he
was up to his ears in work and anxiety
to hear from the lips Of William, his
faithful messenger, these words:
MFR. Secretary, the New York Blank
wants you to step to the telephone"
Mr. Hay gasped, caught his tongue in
the nick of time, recovered his diplo-
matte urbanity and replied
SAY that the secretary expresses
deep regret that just at this moment he
is very much engrossed in important
work"
Unfortunately, what he said under his
breath could not, under the rules of the
telephone exchange, be sent over the
Washington Correspondence of
the Chicago Times Herald.

The above event will take place on
Thursday and Friday evenings Mt eight

namely, to make 1t a grand realistic
tone picture portraying most graphi-
cally some of the exciting scenes and
incidents Of actual war, thus giving a
perfect musical panorama, which will

can breast.

given at $50, free to everybody.
