The blue law campaign may now be

KINDNESS THAT REACTED.

Bob Pryor is a nice. obliging young man, but hereafter he positively r5fus es 70 brush bugs off anybody, even him. self. The cause of it all was a little surprise party, given to Robert by a certain big bug, name and parentage unknown. Pryor had just din=d al a Vine street cafe and stood nonchalantly before it's door, chewing a tooJhpick and gazing benevolenNy at the mad ding crowd as it surged by. The milk of human kindness was in Bob up to the ears just then, and he could ev5n have complimented his mCther-in-law Bob noticed that the electric light near him drew lots of bugs that were bent on going U bug heaven by the inciner- .ation route. A well-dress=d young fel- low came along and stood near the in sect cremator with the result that one of them came hustling down and se- lected his collar for a resting place. Mr. Pryor noticed the insect, and, feel ing very good, he generously volun- teered to remove it.
 "I beg your pardon" he said to the young man. 9Th res a bug on your collar. Wait till I get him."
 Robert reached for the bug and the next instant let out howl that rolled down Vine street. crossed the river and tiattened itself against the Kentucky hills. At the same time he did a der wish dance out in the middle of the street, where he hit a car and bounced back, franticaIly skipping one hand agains5 the other. The bug that 1 Robert so gracefully removed was an innocent, harmless little hornet that had got lost on Vine street, and had chung to his rescuer with all the clingi- ness with which he was capable. Hence the henceness of why MT. Pryor re- | moves no more bugs from anyone | Cincinnati Post.

DEMONSTRATION
Successful Replanting of Burned Dis
 tricts in California.

Gofford Pinch3t, chief forester of the United States. and Prof. J. w. Tou- mey. superintendent of tree planting, have been inspecting at the San Ga briel range the growth of the seeds of the pinus Tuberculata and the pinus Gonderosa, two specimens of pines planted b T. p. Lul.ans of Pasadena, under the auspices of the Los Angeles Forest and Water associ- ation. He had the assis.anc of the for est rangers and the result was that the portions of the mountains burned over two years ago were fairly well seeded in such portions as formed the most inn portant water shed. Prof. Tourney said:
 'The seeds in some places have not come up,. ewing to the dry season, but then pines are known sometimes to not come up under two years In other places. where there was some small at
 tempt at artificial irrigation, the seeds
 came up splendidly, and the trees are apparently as healthy as could be ex- pected. The idea is d good one and Mr. Lukers has done exceptionally well. TEe refcr5stization of the mountains is something of vital importance to all residents of the valleys. In San Ser nardino range We have been inspecting the section thoroughly. The associa- ton there has for years been keeping an accurate account of the rainfall; of 1 the amount which finally got into the valley from the water shed where it was covered with a timber growth where there was chaparral and where ! there was absolutely nothing. These
 figures are of immense interest to th= forestry department, and two men have | been left in the range to continue the calculations and measuremen ents.
 Concerning Mt Lowe and other mountains in the vicinity. I shall cer- ! tainly report to the department in fla vor of continuing the work of tree planting for the next two CT three years. One y5ar's work cannot be counted as much. It will require sever al years to practically demonstrate the utility of the idea. The seeds are com ing up and the denuded forl st may in
 time be covered with a good growth. But that cannot be told in one year. or two or three. It should be continued two or three years if any arrangement can be mad to do so. The government has not done much ir that lina. but of course it is interested in the matter i These mountains are the natural wa- ter sheds of this section and should be protected. The government is at present attending to the cutting of trails through the noun tains. so that in case of the discovery of fire the fam5s can be controlled. These trails are cut wide and kept cleared, so that the fires are easily reached in the first place
 and then also the trails act as a cut
 off for the flames. I thing careful con- sideration will demonstrate that the re- fore re=tization of the southerIr slope of the San Gabriel range is practical and shall report in favor of its continu- ance. San Bernardino Sun.

IN SAN MIGUELITO
Rich Prospects Are Being Worked in
 That Region.

Charles D. Ragsdale, who is one of the owners of the H5odoo group of mines at san Miguelito, Sonora, has been in town the last few days on bus mess connected with his mines, says the Cochise Review.
 MT. Ragsdale is an old resident in Bisbee, and was one of the solid mer- chants Of the town until the rich prizes offered in the field of mining lured him to try his fortune in the development of the promising group of Sonora mines know by the suspicious title of the Hoodoq.'
 These claims are In the San Miguel district and are now being actively de- veloped by MT. Ragsdale and others.
 The sinking on the lode is being as rapidly preceded with as possible. and the result is to lay bare an ore body which has 90 far proved to be wonder fully rich.
 In fact from the grass roots to it's present depth ore has been extracted which has assayed at sums proving it to be a bonanza.
 This fact of the discovery of paying propositions from the grass roots is no uncommon occurrence in the San Mi guelito region. and instances are nU merous where the ore bodies have prov ed rich from the first piece of cap rock knocked off to the depth that he pros peotor or owner in the first place has been able to drive his shaft.
 High assays have been numerous in these young mines of late and Rags dale says the r. zion is quile a poor mans camp. This however, is an as sertion that should not be taken to ms an that every man without means can rush in there and strike it rich. Time and labor are necessarily spent in the search for a paying proposition, and disappointment may result. What is sgnifisd is that that the mines discov- cred often prove good propositions from the very start.
 A good deal of bonding to wealthy syndicates has been done lately, and the result will be che exploiting of properties in a thorough and systematic manner.
 The future of this Sonora region is assured, and it is confidently asserted by prominent mining men that San Miguelito presents as rich field for the miner as any other portion of that great min=ral belt.

the prisoners that each of them had sub
stantial grounds for damage suits against
Mayor Kiefer, and though the more In.
5ignant ones declared athey would take
their grievances into court, this did not
let them out Of Jail. Their law
yers said no one had hl~fa fright
to keep. them in Jail, but in sail they
were, just the same, and itf1ooked as
though there they had to stay at Mayor
Kiefer's pleasure. Finally Assistant City
Attorneys Finehout and : Arnold were
called upon by the police for advice in
the premises. The police were somewhat
chary of putting themselves in the way
of big damage suits, and were willing
enough to get out of difficulty ifsthe re-
sponsibnity could be shifted. Both mem
bers of the city's legal department adj
vised Chief Goss that the prisoners should
be released if the law covering. the CIV
ing of bail was complied with. This was
at noon, but thesfear of Mayor Kiefer.

Illustrated by the fact that though the
bail and bonds were again rendered, the

MARKHAM TO THE RESCUE.
AS a last resort Corporation Attorney
Markham was communicated with. He
reached the central station shortly be-
fore o'clock and with brief COM
mentary upon Mayor kiefer's conduct in
the nature of a written statement, adj
vised the police to release the prisoners
What Mayor Kiefer would have directed
the police to do had he known of Cor
poration ATTORNEY Markhams action Is
matter of speculation, but the police
took pains that the mayor remained In

and allowed the prisoners to depart.

81 JUDGE ORR'S ORDER. IGNORED.

JOOUE O1tft . ORDEf- IGNOfSEO.
What was his surprise, however, when
this order was presented at the central
station, to be again informed that neither
the courts order nor an order from any
other source but Mayor Kiefer- could Sc
cure the prisoners release, no matter how
much bail they pnte up. An explanation
was requested, as Geveryone with any
knowledge of police affairs knows that
for years such an.6order from judge
of the municipal scOurt had been honored.
The only explanation accorded was that
Mayor Kiefer said mo ball. and that
settled it. Attorney Hall got out the
ordinance providing for the release of
prisoners on bail and read the require
nents, which sefl forth that the police
shall accept cash bail in double the
amount of the highest possible fine for
the offense chargeds For his clients At
torney Hall rendered cash bail and Of
Tered to furnish bonds. Again he was
turned down. Thenst was nothing to
do but wait for daylight.
AS early as possible, Attorney Hall
went to Mayor kiefer's home, with Judge
Orr's order. Mr.. Hail says Mayor Kiefer
accorded him only scant courtesy and
obstlnately refused to read the courts
order. Attorney Hall says Mayor Kiefer
clustered and stormed and absolutely de-
clined to discuss the situation, declaring
ne would nave nothing to do with the
case and refused to give his consent to
having bail for the prisoners fixed.
GOSS7 AFRAID TOO.
When Chief Goss showed up at the sta ,
tion,s later in the morning. the courts
order was presented to- him. He only
shrugged his shoulders and said he, too,
must stand by the mayors order.
By this time Attorney Hall was furious !
and his clients began to wonder If they
were citizens of free country or po- |
litical prisoners of some tyranny. Sew
eral other attorneys were called into the
case, and the consensus of opinion among
the lawyers was that Mayor Kiefer he'd
overstepped the bounds of the constitu-
