SCOTTY WOULD

CASE AGAINST ROAD

scotty to the limelight again.

Scotty to the limel1ght again.
Record breaking railroad runs and le-
gitimate theatricals are not sufficient to
satisfy the cravings of the Death Valley
mystery and now he will seek the foot
lights in another role-that of plain
tiff in a resort to law.
Scotty proposes to sue the Santa Fe
for 100000 damages because the rail-
way company has used the picture of
himself and his 'yaller pup" to adorn
an advertisement of the road.
When he was shown a copy of an
eastern magazine containing the latest
advertisement of the Santa Fe Scott
was very angry, so he said.
A half page cut of Scotty holding his
cur dog, which made the trip to New
York with the mysterious magnate-
spendthrift, attracts the attention to a
statement of his remarkable 45-hour run
to Chicago and it is this audacity, as
Scotty terms it, that cuts him every
time he thinks of their unapologetic re-
fusal to give him a chance TO oreaK MS
own record and possibly his neck.
To make his mad all the madder the
Santa Fe has issued a "Scotty Special
booklet which it advertises for free dis
tribution and all the high-balls Rol
King could manufacture yesterday had
no cooling effect upon Scotty's unsettled
state of mind.
Says He Will Sue Road
He became so angry finally that he
gave Rol King a power of attorney to
employ lawyers to institute a suit for
800, 900 damages and directed his busi-
ness manager and adviser to get busy
with the courts.
This having been done and his wrath
not vet being appeaSed, Scotty hired an
airship or something else more mysteri-
GUS and left for the Funeral mountaina
and seclusion at midnight, saying that
he would not return again until Slim,
the mule had a new pair of boots and
was ready for the trip to New York.
Scotty said last night that he would
be away from Los Angeles for two
months, during which time he will havG
Slim curried and shod, gather his In
dians, cowboys and other 'parapher-
nalia," including a carload of genuine
human skeletons from the desert, and
several sacks of ore, all to be used as
property" for his great extravaganza
which is to be staged IN New York on
the evening of January 15.
Scotty's plans for the opening night
are almost as gorgeous as his ideas of
the show itself. The entire house will
be reserved by him for members of the
press and the gang of good fellows on
Wall street who showed him such a
high old time when he was among them
several months ago.
Scotty says that every seat in the
house will have the name of its pro-
posed occupant attached and no one
will be admitted except those who have
been invited by him.

Legend of How 1t Lived and Died
md Lived Again.
The ancient tradition concerning the
pheniX has introduced into nearly ev-
cry language the habit Of applying that
name to whatever Is singular or un-
common among its kind. According to
ancient writers. the phenix was bird
of great beauty about the size of an
eagle. shining and most beautiful
crest adorned its head, its plumage
contained nearly every tint of the rain
Dow. and its eyes sparllied like dia-
monds. Only one Of these birds could
live ut time. but its existence covered
period of SOD or 600 years. When its
life drew to close the bird built for
Itself funeral pile Of wood and aro-
matte spices, with its wings famed tlre
pile into fame and therein consumed
itself. From its ashes worm was
produced. out of which another phenix
was formed, having all the vigor Of
youth. The first care OF the new phenix
was to solemnize its parents obseauies.
For that purpose it made ball Of
myrrh, frankincense and other fra
grant things At Hcliopolls. a city In
lower Egypt, there was magnificent
temple dedicated to the sun. To this
temple the phenix would carry the fra
grant ball and burn it on the altar Of
the sun as n sacrifice. The priests then
examined the register and found that
exactly 500 years or exactly GOO years
had elapsed since that same ceremony
had taken place.

grown from corn planted in here
and there through the field, but
1T all has ears this year.
After trying for nearly two years
to keep the price of ordinarily made
farm wagons up to $1,000 each, the
dealers have been compelled to come
down to the old price of SG5.OO. A
few still try to squeeze out S67.0
but the standard price may now be
said to be $65.0O. That is all a
farm wagon is worth, considering
the material it takes to make one.
Before the corn harvester may be
said to haxe reached perfection, an
improvement in the gathering in
apparatus that will not knock off
ears will have to be made. In corn
that is well cared, and especially
shere they hang out from the stalk
as they do this year, the ears knock
ed off amount to three or four bush
els to the acre, all of which must be
gathered up and fed out soon or it
will spoil. This is now the only
had feature of the corn binder
In years like this one, very few
acres of sowed cane furnish all of
that kind of roughness that can be
fed up lefore the first of the year,
especially if there is blue grass to
turn the stock on in the fall, We
have four acres of cane that we put
in with our grain drill, using a little
over bushel of seed to the acre,
and now it is as tall as person in
many places and about as thick as
it is possible to make such stuff
grow. There will surely be no lack
of roughness this winter.
In year of roughness, that there
be no waste, many buy up cattle in
the fall, winter them, then either
sell again in the spring or rent
pasture and keep them over until
another fall. This is poor way to
handle cattle. Where one makes by
doing this way, five make nothing
and three lose. We have seen this
worked out many time. The way
to make money out of cattle, in times
of low or high prices, is to always
have on hand what the farm can
keep. no more and no less.
1t will soon be time to tackle the
fall chore of manure hauling. The
cool days of September and the first
of October before starting in with
corn husking, is the best time to do
this work. There is usually weeks
siege of this kind of work on this
farm, and every year for ten years
vou can see to the exact foot in the
field where we commenced spreading
in the field and where we left off.
We commenced this week to cut
up new corn for all the hogs and
shoats on the place, ninety-four in
all. 1t is a semi-dialy chore that
takes two of us at least a half hour
each time to complete. Pro badly
by the time this is in print the corn
will be matured enough so that feed
ing it snapped will be best. When
corn is hardly dented, though, it
pays to feed it stalk and all. There
is now nothing but "checkings" left
where the feeding is done.-Home-
