RACE WITH A MOOSE.
Nr. .Judkins's Odd Experience on Highway
In Maine.

KINEo. Me. Oct l0.-Ernest G.. Judkins
bookkeeper for the kineo Company, had
a remarkable experience with bull moose
on the carriage road to Deer Head Farm,
two miles from here, early in the week.
Mr.. Judkns was taking morning ride.
galoping along level stretch, when the
horse came to a sudden standstill with a
Jolt and snort. Looking ahead. MIR. judi
kins saw large bull moose feeding on the
tender sprouts of the bushes growing by
the roadside, not sixty yards away. The
moose apparently did not see the horse and
rider.
Mr.. Judkinss first impulse was to ride
the moose down, but he thought better OF
this and hooted to attract the animals
attention and possibly brighten him from
the road, so that he could proceed, but the
moose fed calmly on. At the end OF few
minutes the beast moved down the ROAD IN
search of more food, and Mr.. Judkins fol.
lowed at respectful distance, hOoting until
his throat was hoarse. This process was
; repeated over half a mile OF road.
AT the end of that distance the moose
| faced about and began feeding toward the
horse and rider, casting an unconcerned
look in their direction every now and then.
and Mr.. .Judkins's steed did the backstep
| for few rods. This was little too much
| for the horseman and, becoming impatient.
| he shouted to attract the attention OF the
! moose, plunged spurs into his horse and
made for the big animal.
With the first leap Of the horse the in
| different attitude of the moose changed to
one of concern and, turning bruptly about
| he started down the road at a clumsy trot.
| This gave new and more interesting pha SO
to the situation; and urging on his horse,

of the sport, only hoping that the moose

good one. entered into the spirit Of the race.
but try as he could the distan between
him and the fleeing animal did not lessen
| materially.
Il never saw anything like it," said Mr.
Judkins to The SUN correspondent. That
great, ungainly animal trotted on ahead
as clumsily as razorback and maintained
his lead with apparently no effort what
ever, while my horse legged it for all that
was in him had heard that moose had
speed, but when I started after that bull

another bull hears the noise and thinks
il a challenge from the one that is roofing
up things, and comes along in hopes OF

me tearing my bark of the tree, and
thought it was another moose on the
rampage.
Sometimes the best kind of call is rip

sticks together to initiate the rubbing OF

there was a magnificent old chap looking

DEER HUNTING WITH A noe.

The man who gets most deer with least

many OF them break II anyhow, either In
the number of deer they kill or in the man

not matter.
The dogs used in trailing deer In the
northern woods are seldom purely bred
hounds. The hound Of good blood is readily
and an almost faultlees nose. but he has
also bugle-like voice and cannot be dis
suaded from using it.
1t is not the desire Of the dog hunter to
notify all the deputy wardens in the county
that he il out with his assistant. Conse-

Such a dog, when he has been properly
handled, is invaluable in finding and driving
deer.
The hunter does not trouble himself to

has noticed plenty Of sign and tells the
animal to 90 ahead.
The dog slips through the trees like a
shadow, questing here and there eagerly

makes himself small. His business is to
wait until the deer comes along. and II there

sure to see it.

and never hurries the deer. He goes at 9

Another Baseball ACCIDENT.

There seems to be something wrong
with the bones of the Elko baseball
club. A few weeks ago Hayden Hen
derson broke the bone of his right
arm in throwing the ball in prac-
tice game and yesterday w. R. Hyatt,
the pitcher for the Elko club in the
game with the Ryndon boys, broke
his right arm while pitching. The
first and second innings had been
played and the Ryndon boys were at
the bat in the beginning Of the third.
Mr. Hyatt was in the box pitching
along as usual when the bone of his
right arm snapped just above the eli
bow and the ball flew off to one side.
He was taken to his home at once
and DR.. Hood was summoned and set
the arm at once.

i lighter colored and more starchy each
 year, consequently less valuable, from a
 macaroni point of view Manifestly,
 the macaroni wheats of commerce from
 this coast, if we produce any, will come
 from those parts of the State where this
 tendency is least likely to be manifested.
 For this reason all wheat growers in California who are not sure that they can produce good, dark-coored wheat continually, should be careful about un- dertaking a crop of it at once. It is en- terprising to make q small sowing and note how the crop compares with the seed-keeping a little of the latter for that purpose. Until this assurance is gained, we doubt whether it would be desirable for your district to make much of an effort in the proposed direc- tion. You could get seed enough for trial by corresponding with the Division of Seed and Plant Introduction of the United States Department at Washing ton. Larger quantities for commercial sowing would have to be secured from wholesale seed dealers. There is local milling demand for more glutinous wheat than the common California crop, and a certain amount of dark wheat is brought into the State for mixing. It requires wider trial to determine whether certain amount of this kind cannot well be grown here. The coast districts are best for this purpose, for the tendency to. become starchy seems to be more rapidly advanced in the in- terior valleys, where the best white wheat comes from. Of course, the whiteness of the wheat from the interior valleys of the whole Pacific coast is commercial advantage; still there re- mains the chance for profit in growing more glutinous wheats in districts where they preserve this character.

AUGUST WEATHER
Host Disagreeable Month in the Year
 on the Desert

August is the most disagreeable month in the year on the desert, as it is in most parts of the country, for during this month there is an increased hu- midity and the nights are not so cool as during most of the summer. This week has been something of a record maker in the way of heat, Sunday being the hottest day of the year, not only att Inn perial, but throughout Southern Calif- ornia, mercury here registering l24, , while even so near the coast aS Ontario it went to 107
 While this atmospheric temperature was excessively high, the automatic natural regulator of bodily heat here prevented any suffering, and men and teams have proceeded throughout the week with their work without interrup- tion and without anything more serious than some degree of inconvenience.
 The regulator of bodily heat which nature has provided is precipitation.
 The hotter the weather, the more moisture pouring from the body, and the more moisture there is with the con sequent increase in evaporation, the more heat about the body is rendered latent. Because of this natural regu- lator of bodily heat in an atmosphere so dry as that of this valley, increased temperature brings increased inconven- fence from wet and sticky clothing, but does not bring much greater feeling of the heat itself than when the atmospheric temperature is much lower.
 Thus, while August is the most disa- greeable month on the desert, the heat does not interrupt work or bring any more serious sensation than annoyance

They Will Look at the Valley Early

Many newspaper men of Southern California have accepted invitations given them by the Imperial Land Com pany to visit Imperial valley, leaving Los Angeles October 3. The newspaper writers are not slow to grasp the idea that the development of this valley on the lines in which it is being brought to the front is beneficial to every other locality in Southern California, furnish ing new market for their products while at the same time producing staple articles which the orange and lemon growing districts cannot produce for themselves.
 It looks now as though there would be in the neighborhood of twenty news papers represented in the party, and they will certainly have cordial recep- tion.

caused by increased precipitation, while even this outpouring of water from every pore of the body is beneficial to the general health.
 August, however, is welcome month, because it foretells the change to the cooler days of fall and winter. There will be some hot days in the first half of September, but the end of the summer is in sight, and already business O. every kind is beginning to boom in an ticipation and preparation for greater activity which will be upon us in the course of a few weeks.

Kicked by Horses

Two men were badly injured in the valley by being kicked by horses this week, and third had narrow escape.
 At Calexico Antone Gastelum had three or four ribs broken and received internal injuries. He is the same man who was stabbed by another Mexican some months since, and whose life was in danger for several weeks.
 In Imperial, E. w. Harrington, col ored, was kicked in the stomach by a horse, which doubled him up, the horse kicking again and landing hoof on Herrington's temple and another on his leg. While he is badly bruised Her rington is able to be around with the aid of a crutch.
 Isaac Lothian undertook to stop runaway team and one of the horses kicked him in the chest, with very slight in niury.

The Rothschilds are all noted as
