NATURAL Dixie IN CALIFORNIA.
strange Volcanic Formation Along Bank
OF Fall River.

FROM the american inventor.
Nature is full of strange freaks. and her
agents-rains. storms. winds and even dust -
produce results that might often be mistaken
for the works Of human hands. though IRE
quently on colossal scale.
Volcanic activities are mighty factors,
and through them some wonderful phenom-
ena are wrought. One of these may be seen
along the course OF Fall River, in northern
California. This stream Is Of considerable size.
and the work of natures gigantic forces may
be seen between the upper and lower cascades
OF the river.
1t is what might properly be called vol
canic dixie" This dixie extends for some
distance along Fall River. near Its banks
and nearly parallel to the course. 1t bears
close resem blance to roughly constructed
wall. The top OF this dixie Is very ragged
and the height of varying attitudes. In
some places 1t Is twenty feet high and several
feet in thickness, and again may be easily
clambered over. The rock OF which this wall
Of nature Is composed is OF very porous
character. bearing some resemblance to
pumicestone though much more solid and
OF greater specific gravity.
That entire region Ia Of volcanic origin and
evidently was once the scene of great erup-
tive activity. ScOria and lava abound.
though the face Of the country is now thlckly
clad with timber and brush The dixie begins
and ends abruptly.
The wall of the dixie Is evidently the result
of volcanic forces and has no doubt stood for
many centuries 1t stands clear from cling
Ing rocks. has a narrow foundation. with
vertical walls, and Is very straight. The
mystery Ia what forces OF nature could have
piled up or left standing this rock formation
so uniform, This dixie has puzzled not few
geolo zsts who have visited and examined 1t.

Alarm Clocks Oh Grayest ones.

tn. Indians OF Pala, in the foothills OF tho
Coast Range in he southern part OF the STATE

stitions prevail. their belief in the Resurrec..
ion Is strong ~.
Believing that the dead must remain for,
some time in the grave. they observe exactly
the hour at which the spirit departs. and the
rude wooden cross over each grave in ,tAt

day on which the person died. Suspended
from the arms Of one OF the crosses is an
alarm clock with the hands set at $50. ThS

The Power Of Advertising.


There used TO be q man who lived
In Skeetersville, N. J.
Who opened up little store
And went to making hay.
The country roundabout was good.
The people sure but slow.
And Ellington, which was his name.
Set out to make them 90.
The old time town OF Skeetersvllle
Was dead enough TO skin
When Ellington took hold-but say.
He got hold 10 win.
lie introduced a line of goods
That made the people stare,
And when they came TO take look
They found the prices fair.
And then they bought. and business boo med.
And Ellington did more
Than anybody ever did
In that town with . store.
But what he did was not enough
To suit his growing size.
And Ellington OF Skeetersvtlle
Just yeaned to advertise.
He yearned TO see his dazzling Ads
Glow In the business sky,
Attracting people everywhere
To come his way to buy.
Blu, 10. the town Of skeetersvine.
It's pity to confess,
Had never felt . hong felt want
To have . printing press.
So Ellington turned TO at once
To sec what he could get.
And pretty soon the people had
The Sksesvsr1ls Gssete.
And Ellington was In II. big:
Such advertising ways
Were never known to Skeetersvrie
As Billngton's displaya
Tho old time merchants saw the Ads
OF Ellington. and they
Began 70 use . line or two
To make their business pay.
Tho town began 10 get alive,
It's shell began 10 crack.
And every now and then you'd hear
Tho moss fall on It's back.
And outside people on tho look
For better means TO NIL
Their empty Golfers. thought they'd take
A chance at Skeetersyille.
The town was growing good and strong:
Another paper came
To meet the advertisers wants
And spread the city's fame.
The town grew on. No power could thwart
The enterprise and will
OF Ellington ct al. and yet
They called II Skeetersvtlle.
Then Ellington broke loose and said
The old name ought 10 60,
And something be adopted which
Would let tho whole world know
II was a hustling sort OF town.
Where things were on the run
And In two minutes Skeetersvtlle
Was changed 10 Ellington.

Should this line become a real.
ity it would be worth much to
San Angelo and all OF West
Texas. 1t would relieve the San.
ia Fe of the necessity of putting
on two trains day. 1t would
establish closer communications
between San Angelo and Miles
and the country surrounding that
wonderful little city. 1t would
start the ball to rolling aud the
time when other interurban con-
nections would be assured would
be only a matter Of very brief de-
lay. Sonora would soon be IN
touch with San Angelo in the
same manner. This would mean
Christoval and FL Dorado too.
Then there is the northern coun-
try,--Robert Lee, Sterling City
aud Water Valley. And equally
important as any is the Ozona
route with Sherwood between.
The coming of this Miles and
Ballinger line would make of San
Angelo sooner or later a great hub
from which would run four inter.
urban lines, connecting the whole
of West Texas more closely with
this city and more closely each
town with the other,

CARNIVAL DATES SET
Fall Carnival VIII Be Held September
10, 20, FL, ~ and 23--More
Money Needed.

The Carnival Association has
set the date for holding the fall
carnival, fat stock and poultry
shows and agricultural exhibit for
September 1928, 1905. This date
has been determined upon after
due deliberation because the Dali
las and San Antonio Fairs will be
held through almost the whole Of
October, precluding the POSSIBLE
ity of the management being able
to secure desirable attractions
during that month. Not only
that but November is too late to
have carnival and the manage
ment thinks the latter part of
September more suitable time
than November. They argue that
the crowds will come in Septem-
Der better than in November, that
better attractions can be secured
and that everything will work to
a better advantage.
But more money is needed.
The Business Club has guaranteed
to raise $1,000 to $500. The car
nival board of managers will need
$1,000. A less amount will not
suffice to put everything in that
shape which will be credltable to
San Angelo and which will do
good. Five days has been deter
mined upon as the length of the
carnival. Monday being given
over to the making of preparations
and by Tuesday morning every
thing will be in full blast.
The Importance of making the
carnival of 1905 success cannot
be overestimated. San Angelo is
more prosperous now than ut any
time in the history of the city.
The eyes of all Texas are turned
towards this section and this city
cannot afford to lose or misuse
the opportunity afforded for fur
Their advertisement of the re-
sources and advantages of the
Great Concho Country. BY all
means let's raise that $4,000 and
do it cheerfully.

COnchO Cuttings.

Some few who have spent their
lives in the canons of the Conchos
may not have heard of a definite
place called Concho. But those
who have travelled are aware that
the embryonic village bearing the
name is justly entitled to it, since
it is situated in the very heart of
the finest agricultural belt of the
Great Concho Country. Our viii
lage is situated ten miles south
east of the confluence of the Con-
chos, and who ever saw a finer
belt of country? We are sure to
get a gin, since we have six thous-
and acres of fine cotton to offer
one. A blacksmith shop is al
ready contemplated, and when we
get the three business firms we
confidently expect, together with
the one we already have, we will
then have no more than half what
we could support, as our nearest
town, San Angelo. is eleven miles
distant. But We look forward to
the day when that town will be a
valuable addition to our village.
Crops are simply tine-growing
at an unheard-of rate, and |
might add, land prices are advan-
