SEQU0lA GlGANTEA.
CALIFORNIA; Giant Redwoods the Great
est of Living Things.

The big tree (Sequoia gigantea) is
natures forest masterpiece and, as
far as know, the greatest of living
things. 1t belongs TO an ancient
stock, as its remains in an old rock
show. and has a strange air of other
DAYS about it-a thoroughbred look
inherited from the long ago, the
auld lang svne of trees.
The Pacific coast in general is the
paradise of conifers. Here nearly
all of them are giants and display a
beauty and magniticence unknown
elsewhere. The climate is mild, the
ground never freezes and moisture
and sunshine abound all the wear.
Nevertheless, il is not easy to ac-
count for the collosal size of the
sequoias. The largest are about 800
feet high and thirty in diameter.
Who of all the jewellers of the plains
and prairies and fertile home for
ests of round headed oak and maple,
hickory and elm ever dreamed that
earth could bear such growths-
trees that the familiar pines and
frs seem to know nothing about
lonely, silent. serene. with a phvsi-
ognomy almost godlike. and so old
thousands of them still living had
counted their years by tens of cen
turies when Columbus set sail from
Spain and were in the vigor of
youth or middle aye when the star
led the Chaldean sageS TO the infant
SaviOur'S cradle?
As far as man Is concerned they
are the same yesterday, today and
foreXer-emblems of permanence.

THE GuL.Ls.

Soft is the sky In the mist kirtied ssses
Light Is abroad ON the sea.
All Of the heaven with silver Is neeced.
Holding the sunrise in Zee.
10. with fash and uplifting Of wings
Down where the long ripples break.
Cometh a bevy OF glad hearted things;
lis morn. for the gulls are awake.
Slumberous calm on the ocean and shore
Comes with the turn Of the tide:
Never a strong sweeping pinson may soar
Where the tame fishing boats ridei
Far and beyond In blue deserts Of SEA.
Where the wild winds are at play.
There may the spirits Of sea birds be free;
IT'S noon. for the gulls are away.
Over the rim OF the sunset is blown
Sea dusk Of purple and gold;
Speed now the wanderers back to their own.
Wings the most tirclcSS must fold.
Homcward Together at twilight they fock.
Stated with joys OF the deep.
DrowSily huddlcj on headlSnd and rock:
lis night, for the gulls arc asleep.

a Bird That SeNgs.

The sewing or tailor bird of India
is little yellow creature not much
larger than ones thumb. TO es-
cape falling prey TO snakes and
monkeys the tailor bird, travellers
say, picks up a dead leaf and flies
up into a high tree and. with a Cher
for a thread and its bill for a needle,
sews the leaf on to green one
hanging from the tree, the sides be-
ing sewed up and an opening left at
the top. That a nest is swinging
IN the tree no snake or monkey, OF
even man, would suspect.

Washington, Oct. THE sunshine at
opening of the Grand Army of the Re-

ceeded today by cloudy weather, but
the change had no effect on the spirits
of the vast crowds waiting for the big
naval parade which was to be the chief

that over 100000 visitors were in the
city. The parade was under the com
mand of General Haywood, commandant

day and consisted of all the regular
troops located in and about Washington,
marines and jackes from the warships,
District of Columbia National Guard,
Spanish war veterans, Sons of Veterans,

has decided to make him ambassador to
Rome. The appointment, however, is
not to be made Immediately. Mr.. Meyer,

just returned to that post from visit

THE CITY COUNCIL.
Franchise Of the Santa Fe Light & Power Company
Referred Back For Correction,

The city council last night referred
back to the ordinance committee the
franchise of the Santa Fe Light and
Power Company for correction. 1t had
a serious defect as it was and no written
report had been made by the committee.
The accounts were received and the city
attorney was instructed to enforce the
ordinances regarding building permits
and forbidding the erection of frame
buildings within the city limits. 1t was
decided that there will be no change in
the notices of the side walk ordinance
and that it will be enforced as it stands.
The city attorney reported that but two
cases against the city are pending in
district court, one in which Ernestina
Hersch is plaintiff, claiming $1,000 and
the other of Ricardo Alarid claiming
$43s. 35. Both suits are for alleged SER
vices rendered the city. 1t is thought
the Hersch case may be amicably settled
as efforts to that end are now being
made. The council adjourned until
Wednesday evening.

SANTA FE LINES.
New Branches Which viii Enable it to Meet Compe.
tlOn In the Southwest.

The St. Louis Globe-Democrat is au-
thority for the statement that the Santa
Fe Railroad Company will soon engage
in extensive building operations in the
southwest. To meet the competition of
the Rock Island, it is said the Santa Fe
will build from Roswell to Ell Paso, a
distance of about 200 miles, and thus
give the Santa Fe a shorter route from
Kansas City than the Rock Island. An
other line to be built will be an extern
sion of the Lampasas branch from San
Angelo to Pecos, Texas, where connec-
tion will be made with the Pecos Valley
line. This will give the Santa Fe a
through route to Galveston and shorten
the haul of its transcontinental traffic.
The cutoff from the Pecos Valley line
to the Santa Fe Pacific will shorten the
line to the coast.

PROPOSITION
TO MERGE
Committee Of the Irrigation Congress Voted
to Consolidate With the Trans-Miss-
ssippi Congress.
MANY DELEGATES OPPOSED
The Only Address by Woman Was Delivered This
Morning by Mrs. Gilbert McCIurg Of Denver Ex-
teneng Greetings From the Federation Of
wOman's Clubs.

| Colorado Springs Colo, Oct. 7.-At
| the opening of the National irrigation
congress this morning, the committee
on credentials made its report. The or
ganization was perfected without con-
test or difficulty of any kind. The COM
mittee consisted of three delegates
from each of the 16 states included in
what is termed the arid belt. This
committee of 4S upon organization,
elected John Hall of Kansas, as chair
man, and II. r. Morrows of Roswell,
N. NJ, as secretary. Fred l.. Allies of
California was elected assistant secre-
tary, and G. j. Gavin of New Mexico,
reading clerk of the congress. Before
taking up the program for the morn
ing, two kilograms of general interest
were read, one from Secretary James
Wilson of the department of agricul-
ture, and the other from Abbott and
Richardson, government commissions
ers for good roads in Oregon. Wilson's
telegram said: Hon. Thomas F.
Walsh, Colorado Springs.-I cordially
greet the delegates to the Irrigation
congress. Your meeting to consider ir-
rigation proclaims the dawning of
new day for the great west. Let the
forest be preserved to husband rain
fall: let streams be led out over the
valleys that homes may be multiplied
for American farmers and still greater
prosperity come to all our people.
Signed James Wilson, Sec. Of Agric."
Secretary Maxson of the association.
made his annual report which showed
good growth and an increase of interest
in irrigation generally. The only adj
dress of the congress delivered by wo-
man, was given this morning by Mrs.
Gilbert McClurg Of this city, who, re-
spending for Mrs. Denison, president Of
the General Federation of Womans'
Clubs, gave Greetings" A decided
sensation was sprung in the action of
the executive committee in voting to
recommend that the meetings of the
irrigation congress be merged with the
Trans Mississippi congress next year.
The executive committee must in order
to be parliamentary make this sugges-
ton through the committee on perma-
nent organiza ton which will report to
congress during the day. When the
first breath of news regarding the pro-
posed consolidation reached the con-
gress, delegates from the several states
sought their respective committee room
and held hurried caucuses. The Utah
delegation of 40 members, the largest
outside of Colorado, came to a speedy
conclusion and decided emphatically
against the merger, Chairman Keisel
