%Schuylkill county companies of the
Eighth regiment, arrived here at $40
this morning. He said that he has
ordered out the entire Twelfth and
Eighth regiments and the governors
troops, and, if he finds the conditions
here warrant it, he intends calling out
two batteries of artillery. {
Considerable delay was experienced
in securing the necessary 20 sigma

clined to append their names for fear
of the boycott likely to follow.

PLANS OF EXPLORER.

Will Establish Wireless Telegraph
From Dawson to Pole.
Seattle, Wash, July 31.-Bernier,
the famous Canadian explorer, who is
to go in quest of the north pole, will
establish Marconi wireless telegraph
communication between his party and
Dawson.
Details are given by Governor Ross
of Yukon territory, who met Captain
Bernier and discussed the plan with
him. The governor said:
Captain Bernier intends to sail for
the north by way Of the Boring sea.
1t is his opinion that he ear catch a
current by taking this course that
will carry his ship to within $50 miles
of the pole.
"The short remaining stretch be-
tween the ship and the pole is to be
covered by a trip over the ice. For
this he has made special arrange
ments for supplying himself and his

going.
"They will take long metallic tubes
sharpened at one end and hollow with
an opening at the other end. Into
these tubes will be placed %concentrat-
ed foods of a wide variety.
"The food pots will be placed in
the ice and will bear flags. Within
a reasonable range of vision, one of
the poles will be placed.
"In this manner, the curse pursued
from the ship will be followed easily
and the return trip will be made by
going from pole to pole.
mot only this, but on arrival at
each pole, the party will find food
waiting. The Marconi system is to
have an instrument in full sympathy
in Dawson and news of the progress
of the expedition will be sent from the
front back to Dawson, thus keeping
the world informed of the fortunes
or misfortunes of the party

EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS FRIGHT.
EN- PEOPLE. v.
The DISTURBANCE IS LOCAL
Los Aiamos, California, Feels Many
shocks-Last One the Most
~ Severe.

Los Alamos, Santa Barbara county,
CAL, July 31.-The people of this city
and vicinity are terror stricken and
are fleeing from their homes to places
of safety on account Of the increas-
ing severity of the earthquakes which
have visited this section since the
night of the 9th inst, since which
time it is estimated Is distinct shocks
of earthquake have been felt. The
most severe shock occurred at 1:2O
O'Clock this morning, when the earth
seemed to lurch from the south to the
north and then to twist back again,
destroying brick walls and piling ev.
erything indoors into unrecognizable
heaps, topping I'VE heavy iron safes
and destroying thousands of dollars
worth Of goods.
Inhabitants Terror-Stricken.
The people are panic stricken and
many are leaving town by train and
in all available vehicles. Three, dis
tinct shocks were recorded between
1925 and 1880 this morning, and these
latter disturbances added much to
the terror of the inhabitants.
President Benjamin Wheeler of the
University of California was COM
municated with by telephone and adj
vised that the people be ready to
at a moments notice, and for
the doors of residences and places of
business be left open, so those inside
might escape in the event of further
disturbances. The advice of Presi-
dent Wheeler was communicated to
the people and was Immediately act
ed upon.
Heavy Financial Loss.
1t is impossible to estimate the
financial loss at this time with any
accuracy, but it is believed that the
disturbances of the last three or four
days have damaged at least 100000
worth of property. Reports from 9th
err vicinities in the valley will doubt
less increase the amount by thousands
of dollars. No loss of life has as yet
been reported. The Presbyterian
church, the only church in town, is
demolished and not a business house
or residence escaped damage.
The West Union Oil company is
the heaviest loser, two of its immense
storage tanks being demolished, re-
leasing thousands of gallons of oil.
Later two more distinct shocks
were felt. Word comes from the towns
of Santa Maria and Lomper, each
distant about 20 miles from Los Ala
mos, that the disturbances Of last
night were bat slightly felt in the
vicinity of those towns, showing that
this place was the center of the dis
turbances.
Los Alamos is a town of about 900
inhabitants, in Santa Barbara county,
and is the center of a large oil-produc-
ing territory. 1t is situated in the
Los Alamos valley, one of the most
productive valleys in the state. wheat,
olives and citrus fruits being produc-
ed in abundance.

WHAT is CALLED A TwlsTER.
Seismic Wave Had Rotary Motion
With 1t This Morning.

Santa Barbara, july 31.-A strip of
the territory north OF Santa Barbara
in which is situated the towns of Lom-
poe, Santa Ynez, Ballard, Los Alamos,
Los Yves and several smaller towns,
was again visited by an earthquake
early this morning. It was much the
heaviest of the series reported from
Los Alamos. The first shock occurred
at 1920 a. m. and was what is called
a twister, owing to the rotary motion
of the seismic wave. 1t lasted fully
10 seconds and was followed by others
of more or less severity until 4 o'clock.
The principal damage was to the
drug store Of H. H. Yarris, where the
bottled goods and glassware were
thrown down, completely wrecking the
place. Kahn's saloon shared a like
fate. The stores of Fred Wickenden
and G. Pierson were badly shaken up,
in some places the walls have caved
in and merchandise smashed. A large
safe in Wickenden's saloon was over
turned and went crashing through, the
floor. The home of Attorney A. Les
lie is completely wrecked. Other re-
ports of damage are coming in, but
thus far there is no loss of life or
serious injury to anyone. Telephone
communication with the district is
interrupted. A slight shock was felt
at Santa Barbara at 1:2O a. m.

Mr.. King would call and get
them. Ali of which was done.
A short time ago the eggs hatch
| ed out and four of the young
chicks are as ssblack as the ace
of spades. y Mr.. King suspects
Gene, and the latter in turn
would swear that Ed aGrefD
"jobbed' him. Mr.. Grefoz,
like our friend Mr.. Simpson, is
quite chicken fancier and raises
a breed of fowl called the 'black
devils" or some other appropri-
ate name, and if he didn't '.job"
Simpson when he had such
splendid opportunity the latter
will always think he should have
done SO. Both of our chicken
raisingisfriends are great ''josh~
ers. - But what is Mr.. King to
do? He has four little 'sdarkies''
in his brood that are a disgrace
to the flock.

Windmill Or Fountain?

In the last issue Of the GA =
zETTE, among the court notes,
appeared an item showing that
the county judge had been au-
thorized to find out the cost of a
windmill and the construction of
a tower for the same, to be erect
ed Oh the court house grounds.
Since then there has been some
discussion of the matter and
there are those who are not wild
ly enthusiastic about the scheme.
1t has been figured out that it
costs just $113 per year for water
and the idea is to save this item
Of expense. The matter of saw
ing money is the only argument
advanced by the few who are in
favor of putting a windmill on
the court house grounds. On the
other hand, the notion of erect
ing a ''squeaky" mill, it is ar
gued, will greatly mar the ap-
pearanee of things about the
yard. 1t is believed that there
are more against the proposition
than for it.
"The grounds are a source of
pride to townsmen and country
men alike, and if they are to be
considered in the light of
money-saving proposition it
might be we'll to fell the trees
that constitute the grove and
plant the square in peanuts"
said a gentleman a day or two
ago. Another gentleman said
he ''would like to know whose
idea it was, anyway" and sug.
gested that a beautiful fountain
that would throw spray
of illuminated water-be placed
on the grounds. The court will
determine the matter at its next
regular session.

ssSwinging In the Lane."

| U. B. Vogle sends the follow
ing communication on the earth
quakes which recently occurred
in the section in which he lives
and takes occasion to moralize a
trihe:
1 have often been told that
cities have been destroyed be-
cause the people have been so
wicked. If Pompeii had been
100 miles from the burning vol.
cano it would have beea in ex-
istence today; but the people
built Pompeii in the wrong place.
St. Pierre, on the island, was as
religious city as there is in any
country. 1t was also destroyed
because the people built it i'll a
dangerous place.
Los Alamos, one of the most
sanity villages on the coast, with
the finest people in all the land,
descendants of the Quakers and
Shakers, had their village de-
stroyed, not because they were
wicked, but because they built
their town in a s'shaky" place,
while San Pedro still stands.
Ten miles from Lompoc (where
Mr.. Vogle lives), is the little
town of Santa Rita-all the
chimneys were shaken from the
roofs. There has been explo-
sions there, mostly on the pin-
nacles of the mountains, which
has scattered the dust for miles
over uncut crops.
There is great deal of irnini-
grafton just after a quake. From
this eminence felt as though
were Swinging in the lane"
A garden of flowers that ad-
mired few weeks ago is now
blighted and covered with dust,
aud looks like a witherea boquet.

Sheriff Receives am Order.
Petition Of the Coast Land 8

Petition OF the Coast Land 8,
| Live Stock Company for a com
| promise in the matter of taxes
| has been pretty freely discussed
lately in the columns cf the GA
zETTE. The. court has made an
i order that the tax rolls for the
years from 1895 to 1905, inclu-
sive, be turned over to the sheriff
and he be ordered to proceed to
sell the lands.
In the past there seems to have
been some confusion regarding
the cognomen of Mr.. Masten, re-
ceiver, AMI he appears on the
rolls as "Arthur H. Masten"
and "Arthur S. Masten.' 1t is
thought that the former is the
proper name of this person.
Here is the order of the court: !:
sit appearing to the court that
the lands now belonging to the
Coast Land & Live Stock Com
pany were assessed for the years
1895, 1896, and 1897 in the
name of George S. Coe, trustee,
and for the years 1898, 1899 and
1000 were assessed in the name
of Arthur H. Masten, receiver,
and said taxes have not been
paid in full for said years, but
are now delinquent as shown by
the assessment roll of Benton
county for said years, it is order
ed that the clerk of this court
turn said delinquent taxes over
to the sheriff of said county with
a warrant attached thereto for
the collection of said taxes as
provided by law
In 1895, 2o,43o acres of land
III this county were assessed to
George S. Coe, trustee. In 1896
these lands were assessed to the
same party. In this year a good
part of this tract of land was sold
to M. M. Davis and the taxes for
this year were paid in this man
ner. In 1897 the lands were as
sessed to George S. Coe. The
following year, 1898, they were
assessed to Arthur H. Masten,
receiver. In 1899, 20, 200 acres
were assessed to Arthur S. Mas
ten, receiver. In the following
year the same number of acres
were again assessed to Arthur S.
Masten. In 1901, this land was
assessed to the Coast Land &
Live Stock Co.
1t is understood that, with the
of the year 1896. no
axes have been paid on these
ands from 1895 up to the present
ime.
Sheriff Burnett will proceed at
'nce in the usual manner to
erve notices, ETC., ana advertise
he sale of said lands for delin-
Iuent taxes. There is thought
o be errors in the descriptions of
ONE parcels of this tract of land
nd that Sheriff Burnett will
ave considerable of a task to get
be matter Strengthened out.

Our sidewalks in certain portions
of the city are certainly disgrace,
to say nothing of the danger of
them. If something is not done in
this matter, it is only & question of
time when somebody is going to be
most seriously injured. Then there
may be an expensive law suit to re-
cord for somebody. Last Monday,
while walking along the street in
the southern part of town, Mrs. E.
II. Taylor stepped on a loose plank,
one end of which flew up in such
manner as to trip and give her
bad fall. One of her ankles was so
badly sprained that for a period it
was feared that her leg was broken.
She has not been able to get around
any since.
Wednesday evening, DR.. Row.
ley and friend concluded that
they would drive down to Sui
phur Springs. Doc creased his
buggy in good shape, but must
have been pondering about the
most approved plan for saving
a fellows leg off, for he neglect
ed to screw the burr onto the
last wheel that he creased. The
result was that Doc and his
friend did not drive a great dis
tance ere the wheel ran off and
they were ''spilled OUT" as the
story goes. Luckily no one was
hurt or any damage done. Our
doctor walked back and found
the missing burr sticking to his
buggy wrench in the barn.
Have Doc tell you about it.
