NATURAL WONDERS.

There are many curious things to
be seen out Oh the Colorado Desert t,
which section is likely to come into
prominence vsth,a the asxt few yea. .,
owing to the large irrigation prof ct
now under way there. Among ott-r
things, you may travel there FOR many
mlles in depression 200 feet or more
below the level Of the sea. There are
also strange mud volcanoes, where hit
water bubbles up from the bowls Of
the earth. Another cnriouss feature
of the desert is the cow tracks, whis.h
stand almost a foot high. TIL se
tracks are generally made duries a
rainstorrn. and as .he ground is them
soft, it is compressed where the ca tie

Special Agent s. j. Holsinger against

The former protested, when Solomon
abused the special agent in shape-

rage and it is not likely that the
prosecution of the cases against NJ.
Solomon will be any the less vigorous

DUN's MONTHLY REPORT FOR
SOUTHERN CALEDONIA.

The monah Of April showed some
reaction from the 'abnorGal business
expansion and rise of prices during
year past. It has become the ex
pected program to have at this season
industries and trades more or less
interrupted by strikes. The number
this year is not greater than usual, but
is a little surprising because Of the
mar y advances which have been in
wages without controversy. often
without demand by employees.
The reaction in prices came where
least expected, in iron and steel in
dustries,, but reduction has brough,
ou. much new 6dsiness.
In our immediate district the out :
look has changed materially. An un-
precpdanttd rainfall of two inches i'll
May has done an immense lot of good.
To be sure some hay has been dam :
aged, but as an Offset the rain has
wonderfully ben, fitted late sown grain
and assured good bean crop. A full
term run at Los Alamitos sugar fse
tory is also one of the outcomes OF the
downpour. At Oxnard the beet crop
has been under irrigation, so campaign
is not so materially affected by the
downpoar. The rain was of special
Ya!ue, too. to thousands of acres OF
daciduous fruit, orchards now promis-
Ing fair crop where the outlook was
