SEA IN A DESERT.
Wide foundations In Lower Califor-
 mia and Arizona.

Wide foundations In Lower C0llfore
 mia and Arizona.
 The Salton sea, the phenomenon which led to so much talk few years ago, has again appeared, and there is once more vast inland sea in the Colorado desert, says San Fran cisco dispatch. This time the men who are engaged in engineering work in bringing the waters of the Colorado river under control for irrigation pur- poses are blamed for the inundation. The Colorado river, which is high, has simply backed up in the canals and in the new river and thus forced it's way into the heart of the desert, which is 300 feet below sea level.
 The oasis is thus filled. The sea stretches from Ocean Beach to Wal ters. There is complete tie-up of salt works at Salton. This. however, can not be called a disaster, for when the sea came in for the first time it helped enormously to increase the output of salt, as 1t enabled the managers to use gang blows to cut deep into the salt layers.
 In Arizona, where there was never known to be any water, great lakes have been formed, and the presence of this water is said to have changed the climate considerably. These lakes prove the value of irrigating, for since the appearance of this water there have come into existence vast fields of grass, which proves that the soil under irrigation would be capable of support ing crops.

Homemade Violin,

H. II. c. Q. James of Bullitt county, Ky, who is an expert performer on the violin. finished making a new vio- lin recently, says the Salt River Tiger. He played on 1t the next day and thinks it has got the best tone of any that he ever heard. The lightest touch of the bow will produce clear, even and we'll sustained sound. He made the top of cedar and the back and ribs of maple. Two years ago he cut a ce- dar tree that was known to be seven ty-tive years old and sawed from the first cut the piece with which he made the top of the violin, and at the same time he cut the maple. and after thor Oughly seasoning he has with a spe- cially shaped knife and q file made what he considers one of the finest toned violins he ever heard. All of his friends are congratulating him on his success, and as the violin ages Mir James expects it to improve in tone.

The collapse of the trading stamp daily in Detroit may or may not prove that the scheme was without merit, says the American Press. Indications show that the paper was eXtravagart- ly run and spent lots of money for which no adequate value was received. Experience shows that few papers are what may be called instantaneous sue cesses. The paper that starts in mod estly and husbands its resources for q long campaign usually wins out on the grounds that conditions change and circumstances which seem to fortify the strong to-day may in the course of events favor the weak and waiting. This does not mean that newspaper should always be waiting for some thing to turn up. but that 1t cannot expect to do all things in a day. MT Hutchinson. the trading stamp king. did not make good angel because he realized he was on the wrong end of the deal. and consequently lowering of inc circulation and accompanying cold feet was inevitable where newspaper man would have remained game. An interesting development of the failure is the schedule of creditors claims. in which the Goss Printing Press company. the Mergenthaler com pany and the big typefounders are all lined up. showing that the foxy Mir Hutchinson traded on his name, but carefully limited his liability.

General Miller, one of the three brothers who own the famous 101 ranch in Oklahoma, whose annual cele- brations have become famous, has re- gently been staying in Hot Springs, Ark, as the guest of Colonel William Maurice. says Hot Springs corre- spondcnt of the St. Louis Post-Dis- patch.
 Plans for this years celebration, which will take place June Il, have been made on a scale which surpasses everything heretofore attempted, 2,500 guests being expected to attend. In conversation MT. Miller stated:
 Tt is anticipated that fully 25,OC0 people will be there to attend the cele- bration, and the entertainment prepar- ed will be something the like of which has never been attempted before The event will symbolize the passing of Oklahoma as territory. Chiefs rep resenting every tribe of Indians in ex- istence have signified their intention of attending. A great buffalo will be killed. Reeves will also be killed. and a great barbecue will be held at which thousands of people will be fed. There are at present twenty-one buffaloes at the 101 ranch.
 The following tribes of Indians will have representatives in attendance: Sioux, Cheyennes, Arapahoes. Caddoes. Utes. Ponces. Missouras. Osages. Kaws, Neg Perces and Otoes. The In- dians will participate in the buffalo hunt and will also have a part in the remainder of the programme.
 -'sThe National Editorial association will hold its annual convention at this time and will attend the celebration with 600 delegates.
 "The greatest thing on the pro- gramme will be the representation of the evolution of Oklahoma. The good by to the old life as a territory and its greetings as a state will be given This will be a spectacular affair which the people will travel hundreds of miles to see The first part will be a portrayal of Indian life In the territory's earliest days. The Indian will be seen moving his tepee across the country on the drag poles with the bands of squaws in the rear.
 The second part of the programme will introduce the scouting parties and soldiers of the army. Then will come herds of cattle and COW punchers.' also the buffalo. At this celebration will be seen probably for the last time herd of a.oO cattle.
 Next will be seen the old fashioned stayecoach which was used in crossing the prairies. The farm wagons will

then come and last of all the autome,

then come and last of all the autome- piles.
 Another feature of the programme which will attract thousands will be a representation of the opening of the Cherokee strip. Hundreds of vehicles of all kinds, horseback riders and ev- cry method used in the run for the claims will be on hand at given time, and at signal the run for the home- steads will be made. This will give those who failed to witness the famous run chance to realize what it must have been like. Other features have been arranged, and little in the line of entertainment will be lacking. There are 400 men employed on the 101 ranch, and this day is their annual hol- iday."

Track Clearer For Automobiles.

On the principle that ''an ounce of prevention is worth pound of cure" a Boston genius has designed a new form of guard to protect pneumatic tires from puncture. says the Automobile. The device consists of series of V shaped steel pieces connected by a cen tral bar and dragged on the road just in front of the rear tire by means of a chain attached to the fender or other convenient support The action is sin- liar to that of . snowplow. small loose objects being thrown aside clear of the tire.

To Move the Stock Pens.

There is growing sentiment
among the residents of that sec
ton of the city near the stock
pens iii favor of forcing that in
stitution to move outside the city
limits. Whether this sentiment
will assume the proportions which
will enable the citizens of that
portion of the city at an early
date, to go before the city council
with a petition for the removal
of the stock pens, it cannot be
said. The Santa Fee would be put
to considerable expense If the peo-
pie should make this demand
but it would be better for the
railroad to have this question
come up now before the dipping
watts are located than to wait until
this is done. The people Of that
section of San Angelo appreciate
the fact that it would entail a
good deal of eXsense upon the part
of the Santa Fe company but
they put the comforts of home
and the health of their families
above everything else, They say
that the presence of the stock
pens closely adjacent to their
homes causes discomfort and is a
menace to the health of their fam
lilies. The Press sees in this an
illustration of the trend of local
events and the. outgrowth of San
Angelo, The Santa Fe people,
we believe, will fall in with the
