A Mild Winter Predicted.

Here's the prediction that will
fall on the ears of the man whose
coal bin is still empty like choice
music. Prof. G. E. Myers, of the
government weather department,
says the summer season will be
prolonged until late in the fall
He also predicts a mild winter.
His theory is that the volume of
water which has fallen during
May, June and July cannot be
evaporated from the earth during
the summer and that the water
in the earth will hold the sum-
mer heat far into the winter.

ia, says The News reaches us
regularly, and is read with much
pleasure. This is a busy season,

anywhere from 100 to 1900 acres
Of wheat, all getting ripe at once,
have something to do to get it cut,

IS CALLED A "GOLD BRICK. ~
New Executive Offices at Washin ton

criticized as being squatty i'll appear
ance. entirely too small, cheap in con-

we'll founded, and, considering the
amount of money expended and the
character of the structure. the gov
ernment has purchased a gold brick.
After conference with the presi-
dent the other day, Secretary Root en-
tered the room provided for the eN~
elusive use of the correspondents and
said to a group of newspaper men:
''Hoet do you like the new building?''
1--WE do not like it, replied one. 1T

It is too SMALL
''The small size and unpretentious
proportions of the building were in
tended by the architect who designed
the building and the repairs to the
white house." said Secretary Root. "It
was not intended that the white house
should have rival. and so the presi-
dents office is made small so as not to
detract from the simple beauty of the
historic white house. larger build
dent would have drawn some attention

chief aim the harvesting of the
waters of the Puyallup glacier on
Mount Tacoma, state of Washington.
for commercial purposes. 1t is said
that if successful this will be the
first instance where glacial waters
have been used directly to provide
power. Stone and Webster. of Bos-
ton, who have installed great many
street railways in all parts of the
country, are undertaking the work
in order to provide the cities of
Tacoma and Seattle with electric
light and power. The plan is to con-
struct from the glacier a fu,ne four
teen miles long, through which a
head of water will flow sufficient to
generate $4,000 horsepower. The
water in running through the fiume
will drop 600 feet and through PEN
stocks will be diverted into turbines
connected with electric generators.

FAMOUSDEERBAGGED
Largest Buck Ever Seen in. califor-
MIA Is Finally Killed.
ss Old Whfxkers,,, ~ He Was known
to the Hunters, Eluded Capture
So Long as to Create Belief
Ne R0re q Charmed Life.

For several years Santa Clara
county. Cal, sportsmen have been
eagerly seeking the life of one par
ticular buck, to which has been given
the name of s.Old Whiskers.''
So successfully did this magnificent
specimen of the deer tribe thwart
the hunters and anticipate their
every attempt to ambush him that it
became a belief with some that he
bore charmed life. The charm,
if any, which hung over him. has been
dispelled and "Old Whlskers" has fall
len a prey to the hunter. Sake Shell
ton, of San Jose. was the fortunate
man to bring down this the largest
and most cunning buck that the state
has known for many years. The
head of 'Old Whiskers,' ornamented
with its e1even-pointed antlers, now
graces the mante1 of his successful
enemy;
Shelton had steadily stalked the
apimal for three weeks before sue
cess, crowned his efforts. Now and
then he would get sight of his
quarry, but never from point near
enough to make shot of any use.
He had plenty of opportunity to bring
down other deer. but it was "Old
Whiskers" he was after and he did
not care to alarm him by taking a
shot at any other game.
The last day Of the hunt he lost
the trail entirely. He was on Pine
| Ridge, a spur of Mount Hamilton, and
he believed that the buck had gone
down the western slope and struck
across to the mountain beyond. He
| confessed himself outclassed and gave
ND the chase. Below him lay the
Hyde ranch and he determined te
seek shelter there for the night ane
return home the following morning
While passing through an almone
| orchard on the outskirts of the ranch
he discovered "Old Whiskers'' placidl,
browsing off the rancher's choic'
trees. He raised his. rife and free
the shot that put the old fellow ou
! of business.
This is the largest deer which ha
been killed in the state during th'
| generation and the hunters of th
county have presented Mr.. Shelter
with pair of silver antlers as
memento of his proves.

comes to the surface to see what

very promptly satisfies the curiosity
