sE0UoYA, INDIANS PATRON
Cherokee by That Name Was Coda
Their Of Famous Giant Trees
Of California.

Every American and nearly
every other civilized man recogniz-
es the queer name "Sequoya" at
once as referring to the wonder
full big trees of California. But
how many people know where the
name comes from?
The godfather of the great trees
was Sequoya, a Cherokee Indian.
He died in 1S43, at the age of SO
years, and he left behind him
something that makes his name
much more famous among the
CherOkees than the fact that the
big trees are named after him.
The great thing that he be-
queathed to the Cherokee was a
syllable alphabet. 1t is a won
derful yet simple device. AS soon
as a Cherokee has mastered the S.
characters he can read and write.
Within a few months after Sc.
quoya first introduced it thou
sands of Indians had learned to
read and write iuently without n
teacher.

DUTY HOLDS KINGS CUP.
Customs officials Of Spain and Francs
Would Stop Trophy for
Revenue.

A comic incident occurred after
the races at San Sebastian a few
days ago. The king of Spain pre-
scented a silver cup for one of the
races, which was won by a French
gentleman rider.
The winner duly received the
cup and set off for home; but when
he arrived at Hendaye, the from
tier town, the French custom
house officers demanded the duty
which is levied on works of art en-
tering France.
This the sportsman refused to
pay, considering the circumstan-
ces, but the officers insisted and
sent him back across the frontier
in default of payment.
AS he reentered Spain he was
pounced upon by Spanish cara
biniers, who in their turn de-
manded the duty for the import Of
works of art into Spain.
In a furious rage, the French
sportsman telegraphed to King
Alfonso, and it needed the person
al interposition of the sovereign
before the unfortunate French
man was allowed to take his
trophy home without being taxed
on both sides of the frontier for
the privilege of having won a sill.

Profit in Pheasants.

The Reeves pheasant is one OF the
largest varieties and its great size and
beauty combine to make it an orna.
ment anywhere. There is considerable
demand for stocking estates and game
preserves.
The meatlof this bird is delicious and
excellent for the table. The birds are
hardy and stand any climate: they
will stand confinement well, but re
quire a good yarG about 2Ox3O feet,
and do not want to be annoyed.
The hen will lay as high as fifty
eggs in a season, and the eggs hatch
within twenty-six days. The young
are very easy raised, much easier than
the Ring Neck phesants; they have
their plumage when SIX months old.
The plumage is of brilliant golden
yellow, margined with black; the tall
feathers grow about 6 feet long and
valuable for millinery purposes,
Each tail averages eighteen feathers.

Despite Closed Season Pacific Coast
Fishermen Ply Trade Thus Pre-

They say unknown conditions

the salmon hatcheries, so that not
One-ifth part of the eggs expected
have been obtained, says the Port
land Oregonian. The conditions
are not unknown. Contrary to
law, the fishing season was ex-
tended, or at least was not closed,
as required by law. Again, there
should be closed intervals, even in
the fishing season, so the fish may
have a chance. Artificial prOpa-
cation will do wonders, if the fish
are allowed to come in from the
ocean. But when the massacre
cuts off life in its source, what is to
be expected? Most of the fish
having been caught in the lower
river, there are few to produce
young for the hatchies. The greed
of to-day often cuts off the gain
for tomorrow. A few years more
and there will be no salmon in the
Columbia-unless more vigorous
enforcement Of the law of the
closed season can be had, and the
law itself requires amendment
that the closed season may be
longer. Again there is need of ar
