A WESTERN EMPIRE.
CALIFORNIA; Vast Domain and Equally Vast
Industrial utiook.

California occupies on the Pacific
slope strip about two hundred miles
wide, and extends in latitude from the
southern line of South Carolina to the
southern line of Massachusetts, To
make up It's area from the Atlantic
States requires Connecticut, Rhode
Island, New Jersey, Delaware, Mary

lima and about forty thousand square

vania,

river In the Mississippi Valley ii cuts

takes In Arkansas, Missouri and Iowa,
In the great San Joaquin Valley could
be placed New Hampshire. Vermont,
Massachusetts, Connecticut Rhode ISL
and and one-half of Maine.
The State Is traVersed almost its en-
tire length by two mountain chains,
the Sierra and the Coast Range, but,
while these ranges contain consider
able land not suitable for home-mak-
ing, they also give great natural
parks, like the Yosemite Valley. con

Year by year the rancher has crept

valleys.
The uplonds on the Coast Range, es-

Country Club Team Proved Too
Much for Them on Satur-
day Afternoon.
WILL PLAY ANOTHER GAME.
IL Now Looks as If the Salt Lake
Club Would Hang on to the
Silver Trophy.

The golhng match played on the
noon between six players from the Salt
Lake team, aud an equal number of
Butte golfers, resulted in defeat for the
visitors and II now looks as II the home
team would hang onto the Leyson silver
trophy, and also the intermountain
championship. 1t Is likely that next
June the teams will meet again at
Butte when the Montana players hope
TO turn the tables ON the Salt Lake
golfers.
Saturdays contest was between six
players from each team for the first Is
holes of the S6-hole team match for the
championship, aud the result was al
most as much q surprise to the visitors
ms to ne losers. BY this II is not meant
that the home team expected To be de-
feated, but II did not expect to have
such an easy time with the visitors.
The Butte men did some fine work bur
every man on the Salt Lake team play
ed some better and won their games,
some of which We're so one sided as TO
rob them OF interest
This Ia the first time the Country club
golfers have hade the pleasure OF meet =
ing an ouside team but they played like
veterans aud demonstrated that they
had a team strong enough to contest
with the best of them in this neck o.
the woods.
The teams will not meet again until
June when the home team will go to the
smoky town. The Butte team will then
have an advantage as their course Is
much longer than salt Lakes, and the
local players will have to go some to re-
peat Saturdays victory. In October,
unless something occurs to prevent, the
Butte team will play Salt Lake here
again, and there is some talk Of a team
from Colorado coming here, and It. is
probable that California team will
also visit this city to compete for the
championship, The results of Saturday s

Indian Bits Wild West Show.

The famous Wild West Show of In
dian Bill will exhibit in Shepherds
town next Monday, August Oath.
The grand parade Will be one Of the
most striking and dramatic pageants
ever witnessed by the public in the
streets of any city. There will be In
dams in all their native picturesque
ness and grandeur-bucks, chiefs,
squaws, pappooses, ponies; in fact,
everything belonging to the great
tribes represented will march through
the streets Just as they do on the
plains. Trappers, cowboys, vaqueros,
scouts, ranchmen, pioneers, and their
animals, outfits and appurtenances
will pass in review before the people.
This show, though picturesque as it
can be, because of its almost kaleldo-
scopic changes Of costumes, is wholly
unlike circus. 1t is, in fact, as diff
ferent from circus as could be i'm
agined, as its parade, which Will be-
gin daily at 1880, will show most ell
oquently. Indian Bills grand pa
rade is a show in itself, furnished gra-
tuitously to the public daily.

Mad Dog In Berkeley County.

The neighborhood Of Gerardstown
has been much disturbed for the past
week or two over the appearance of a
mad dog there. The cur, which was
a right large hound, passed through
Gerardstown on Wednesday of last
week and snapped and bit every dog
that came in his way. He was seen
to pass down past Willett's Mil, and
was seen next day about or near the
home of Al Chrisman, near Inwood.
The following day, Friday, he was
seen at the home of John D. Gray, on
Mil Creek, at the red-house farm.
Stephen Hutzler, son of J. W. Hutz-
Ter, who lives on the Gray farm, saw
the dog in the meadow among the cat
tie and noticed him swapping. He
went down where be was and with a
good club drove him away from the
cattle and over the creek. By that
time Mr.. Gray arrived with his shot
gun and killed the cur. Everywhere
be went he was swapping everything
that came near him, and II is not
known how much mischief has been
done. All Of Mr.. HutzIer's dogs were
bitten and have been killed. Mr..
Gray's valuable trained shepherd dog
was also bitten, but Mr.. Gray is keep
ing him in close pen awaiting de-
velopments So far there have been
no developments, but there are grave
fears that great damage has been done.

For Dollar Wheat.
A dispatch from Chicago says:

A dispatch from Chicago says:
Dollar wheat" seems to be assured.
Expert students Of government crop
conditions and of domestic and for
eign demands declare that ninety-cent
wheat will be certainty within a
few weeks, and that in all probability
the dollar mark will be passed by
good margin. There has already been
nearly a cent advance for September
and May, and nearly three-eighths ola
cent for December. Already the price
of September wheat is well established
above so cents, whereas three months
ago it was quoted at 10 cents. Al
most every day since August l the
price of September has been more than
so cents. Saturday it was sought at
834 cents. With a falling Oft of one
hundred million bushels in the winter
wheat crop and half that amo0nt in
the spring crop, there presents a stu
alton full of promise for higher level
of prices. Vital interest attaches to
the demand from Europe and the
amount Of wheat this country will be
able to spare. The London Statist
says Europe will need 2O0,0OO,OOO
bushels of American wheat. Amerl-
can exports of wheat are said to have
averaged more than 200,000,00O bush
els for the last FIVE years. In that
time Europe has raised come bumper
crops. This year short crop abroad
is expected. If Europe will call on
this country for 2OO,00O,00O bushels,
it is figured that prices will, by the
natural laws of supply and demand
alone, go to plane where consump.
ton at home and the export demand
will be curtailed sufficiently to make
both ends meet.
Some traders see right now condi-
tons as bullish as they were in the
fall OF 1897, the Letter corner year.
In the spring following wheat sold for
$1.05 bushel.

Attempt at Burglary.

Tuesday night an attempt was made
by burglar to enter the dwelling
house of Postmaster H. E. Mundey
about midnight The thief had his
head in the window of the room &C.
cupied by Frank Mundey, when the
latter, who had been awakened by
noises, discovered him. Frank jumped
up and got a gun and fired at the
man, who quickly ran and jumped
from the low roof upon which he had
climbed, firing a shot at Frank from
a revolver as he ran. Frank shot
again, but nobody was hurt by the
volleys. 1t is supposed that the thief
was seeking to rob Postmaster Nun
dey or to get the postofice funds, the
postoflice being in the same building.
