Gasoline Cars the Thing.

Chicago, June 1.-THE management
of the Hartman lines has ordered six
additional gasoline motors to be used
on their branch lines. The original
motor has proved such an eminent suc-
cess that it has been decided to use
motors eventually on all branch line
work.

MEXICAN TIGERS.
Driven by Hunger, Enter House to
Seize Their
Food.

Tigers, driven from their noun
tain lairs, in the the territory of
Topic, by the the scarcity of food,
are ravaging the haciendas of the
valleys. They are becoming such a
general danger that the municipal
authorities have offered reward of
$40 each for their skins.
For the past several months great
numbers of the animals have swarm
ed through the marshes of the low
lands along the coasts and in the
valleys of the territory of Topic,
having been driving out of the
states of Sinaloa and Sonoro by the
floods and the extremely cold
weather. The damage caused to the
haciendados and the dangar incurred
by the animals were such that many
of them offered rewards for the skins
of the animals sometime ago.
The tigers have become so hold
that they will enter the house on the
plantations and help themselves to
whatever comes in their path. Sew
eral deaths are reported in differ
ent parts of the territory. In many
sections of the state it is necessary
to have armed guards stationed at
night to insure the safety of the other
people in the settlements.
Live stock is suffering more than
anything else. With the slight pro-
visions that are necessary for the
shelter Of stock it leaves them in
most cases without any protection
trom the breasts. Even the pres
ence of numerous guards around a
herd Of cattle is oftentimes insutii-
cient to keep the tigers from getting
away with an animal or two from
the edge Of the herd.
Hunting for the animals has been
greatly stimulated by the offer Of the
Government, and scores of hunters
are securing the country for the ami
mails. The number Of the skins that
have been turned in thus far is large
and it is believed that it will not be
long before the animals are driven
back 10 the mountains.

COLORADO RIVER
Has Bridged Itself and Supplied
Another Natural Won
der.

Unless we can find some means
of breaking up the huge raft that
stretches in solid mass for 22 miles
up and down tte Colorado River,
in Texas. the river will have to find
an outlet to the sea by joining its
tremendous force with smaller riv-
er n miles away. and the American
continent will be provided with an
other natural wonder. said Govern
ment Engineer Gillespie at the Hotel
Bresln. AT present we are rehc-
tant to admit that we have found no
means of breaking up the raft. 1t
was at first only jam of logs that
three or four men might break up
in an hour. But it has grown at t1e
rate of mile or more each year.
until now it stretches across the riv-
er from bank to bank. all the way
from the mouth TO Bay City, q
miles from the sea. In some places
it has become solid ground. with
vegetation and trees growing upon
il. Roads have been cut through
over which teams cross from bank to
bank as unconcernedly as though a
great river were not rolling swiftly
underneath them. fretting at its
Seh-imposed barrier.
This monst er raft has already be-
come an object of interest to tour
lists. The water in the river is back
ed up so much by the bridge that
much of the lowlands in Matagorda
county has been inundated. and the
safety of Bay City is threatened.
Thousands of acres of rich-produc-
ing land have become barren. The
worst of it is that as this raft that
covers the river grows larger the
tunnel through which it has to pass
is becoming smaller. Drift logs
brought down by the spring freshets
are driven deep into the sides of the
raft and into the soft mud Of the
river, and form a frame for the ac-
emulation of more mud. Thus
damned, the river is rising foot by
foot and overhowing the country.
1t is not improbable, unless this dam
can be broken, that the whole face
of the country in that part of Texas
will be changed within p years.
The river is about one quarter of
"a mile wide and 80 feet deep where
the raft has formed. 1t maintains
these proportions for many miles
from the coast. 1t is subject to
sharp floods when the spring rains
fall. and a rise of % feet in ~ hours
is not uncommon. As this raft has
broadened and stretched further up
and down the river 1t has thickened.

PANAMA HATS.
Are Completely Gone, and a Freak
Variety Will Be
Worn.

New York Ii-rald.l
After a season of lingering strug-
gle the Panama hat passed. One
may be seen here and there, but it
will mark the wearer as one either
of extravagant taste or having no
need to limit his expenditure; for
the only varities on sale in the high
class hat stores range in price from
$50 up. In the Bowery imitation
Panama will be sold at about half
price as compared with even year
ago.
To take the place of the Panama
for the man who abhors a hard hat,
whether in straw or derbies, bamboo
straws, with telescope crowns, will
be very popular this year at $40 or
tiereabout. They are finely woven
and have the advantage over the Pan
amas in having no stiffening to be
washed out by the first shower.
They are also to be had in the re-
gular Panama shape. but the latter
will not be greatly in demand.
Another soft straw hat that is
expected to be popular is the Macki-
nav. so called, though the hats are
woven in Japan. Young men will
prefer them in a rather extreme
stple, with crown and brim each of
two and three-quarter inches.
Then there is a novelty in the way
of straw coachmen's hats. in black
and white. A very few Of these
were seen last year. but they will
not be uncommon this summer in the
judgment of high grade hatters. For
automobilists there is straw cap in
various colors which follows the lines
of the regulation cap of felt or
leather.
For elderly men there is what is
known as the Milan straw, a finely
woven hat. resembling the Panama
in shape, large, but very light.
But. as was the case last year, the
hat that will be seen everywhere and
that will be sold by the hundred to
every one of the other designs will
be the regulation hard straw, with
fiat crown and hard strength brim.
In the extreme height of crown and
narrowness of brim it is believed by
hatters that the limit has been reach
ed. 1t certainly has so far as appear
ance go. The tendency in this direc-
tion was stretched last year, but has
gone still further in the new style
displayed for this season.
The rough sennit braie will be
chiefly worn, though the split straws
at slightly higher price will be
generally in evidence. Black bands
will be most popular, but dark
blue and Oxford blue band will be
seen farmore generally than year
ago, while the college youth will be
less conspicuous in haring colOred
band than he was year ago.
For those whom the most extreme
of America-made hats are too mod
crate there will be English straws.

The Veta Grande mine, situated about ten miles south of Bacoachi, is one of the biggest mines ever opened up iS>the state of Sonora. The ledge measures ffty-six feet across, and the values are most surprising for ledge of this size It is a silver proposition. carrying good value in gold and copper From all the assays ever taken of the ore the lowest grade assay has paid s46 and the highest has reached s19,- 900 to the ton. These values are most surprising for a mine the size of the Veta Grande. There have already been immense bodies of ore uncovered, and this property is no longer a pros pect but a big, rich mine.
