SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
Topographic Map Of the TETON Quad
rangle Just Issued.

A topographic map of the TETON quad
rangle, in southern California, has just
been issued by the geological survey, the
southern part of which lies in the Pine
mountain and Zaca Lake forest reserve,
and the northern part In Los Angeles and
Kern counties. This map, drawn to the
scale of two miles to one inch, covers
about 044 square miles of territory, the
most Of which Is extremely mountainous,
ranging from 5000 to 5000 feet above sea
level The northern part Of the map shows
the Tehachapi mountains. the southern end
OF San Joaquin valley. and Antelope val
ley, part Of the western end OF the Mo-
have desert The southern half of the map
embracing parts of Los Angeles and Ven
tura counties, shows perfect maze Of mar
row canyons and mountain peaks.
Some fine timber Of merchantable value
Is found on the Tehachapi mountains and
but the southern part of the quadrangle
contains little except a dense growth Of
manzanita and chaparral. At Gold HILL in
Ventura county, are some mining claims,
but the larger part Of the area is without
inhabitants.
Between Antelope valley and San Joaquin
valley Is shown TETON pass, with old Fort
Teton SO famous in the early history of
California.
The map can be obtained for the nominal
price Of cents by applying to the director
of the United States geological survey.

DoCKERY'S WHISPERS.
Flowing Beard Of Missouri's Governor
is Gone Forever.

From Kansas City the following dispatch
has been received: Dispatches from Jeffer-
son City today relate that Gov. Alexander
Monroe Dockery has caused what remained
Of his beard, beard of thirty-years stand
ing, to be cut of. He startled the state
house people when he returned from q
visit to the barber yesterday. and some
even failed to recognize him.
Gov. Dockery had worn his beard SO long
that he did not have the heart to part with
1t all at once 1t covered his whole face,
but was trimmed on the sides. and extended
down to cover his shirt front. One day
when the weather was hot he told the bar
Der to trim 1t down to a small chin beard.
The barber did his work WELL but the eff
feet on his friends worried the governor.
You look like Bill Phelps" they would
say to him. and when the governors face
would flush the explanation that 1t was the
beard that resembled one worn by the
leader Of the Missouri lobby would be forth
coming.
Dockery would rather look like any other
man in the state than like Phelps, who has
been a campaign issue.
But there was something in the cut OF
that beard that really did suggest Phelps,
and the governor heard Of 1t often enough
to begin to believe 1t himself.
Gov. Dockery became beardless yesterday.
He says he is tired of seeing those whiskers
in print.
