Lost River Suckers.

Klamath county Is famous for snakes.
1t has other maryels also, as the follow.
ing story from the Klamath Falls Ex
press Witnesses;
During the spawning season The suckers
crowd Lost river at the Gap SO thickly
hat people use them for bridge In
preference to the one built by the
county because they say it is solder.
The people OF the county throw them
into wagons with pitchlorks without
lessening the supply as those further
down the stream crowd into the vacant
places. Nearly any day this time OF the
year, a stream OF double bed wagons can
be- seen coming from the Fishery"
loaded TO the top with suckers. The
only accident in years that has occurred
there was when one Of the citizens tried
TO drive across on the suckers In strong
wind storm, when the fish were blown
apart and in the rebound caught the
horses and threw them with such force
that they became entangled and upset
the wagon. The fortunate presence Of
an Indian woman on the bank reduced a
probable fatality to a mere accident.
To one who has seen q aulky rake
driven in and out Of the stream and
dumped each time on either bank till
two windows Of suckers hall mile long
was the result it is not necessary to
bring corroboraliye evidence, but the
tenderioot is very wary, and we not
expect the full credence TO which VIZ
are entitled.

THE WILD WEST SHOW arrived IL
Alexandris at al early hour yesterday
morning on q special train belonging tC
the company. The tents were pitched
on the commons 10 the extreme north
ern section of the city between Patrick
and Alfred streets. Apart from the
animals the show Is cosmopolitan In
part, representatives of many nstions
Of the earth being ia the company.
Hundreds OF people, young and old,
visited the grounds after the tents had
been pitched. They were allowed to
enter them and look at the animals
and talk with Iodians, Turks, Chinese,
Japsneee, BulgaTiaps and those OF
other nationslities. Several sborigine
Wigwams we're on the west side of the
enclosure, and braves, squaws and
pspooses afforded study to many. The
little Indians orawled In and out OF the
tents and the men wrapped themselves
10 blankets although the temperature
was uncomfortsbly high for the specta-
tors. Like everything else, the travel
ing show exemplifies a steady evolu.
ton. Many now living contrast
present conditions with those OF
half 3 century ago when railroads
were not as numerous as now
and never pstronizsd by show men.
The circus was then literally ION the
road" 1t moved from place to place
over turnpikes, subj ct to all sorts Of
Inconvenience. 1t 10 different now.
They have trains of cars of their own,
the expedition Is greater and 1T is pos
sible to give several performances now
10 the time il took to give one years ago.
But lt is thought by many that the
charm of circus Is eclipsed in |
q measure by the colossal pro-
portions of those Of the present |
day. The old .time show with its
one ring which ell could watch has long |
since given way to triple-rings, huge |
mep ageries and features uoknown |
years ago. The modern ones doubtless
appeal to the younger eenerstiOn, but
those who patronizsd them ia the days |
of Van Ambugh, Dan Rice, Sam La
throp and other artists OF the ring fail
10 become as much Interested ne their
juniors. Pawnee Bills show Is up-to
date in every particular, and large
audience was present at the afternoon
performance. A larger attendance Is
expected tonight.
