The Archins Yucca Tree.

In the antelope valley of California
grows the strangest yucca tree OF all
the western desert. The yucca Is n
tree not given to whims. II has been
described by Van Dyke as having "a
tall stalk rising like Shaft from Il
bowl and capped ut the top by nodding
creamy flowers" But the strange arch
ing yucca has made itselfi famous by
its curious form. Nobody watched II
grow. All that is known about 1t is
that 1t has two roots, its create stall;
or trunk describing n GRACEFUL arch
rooted firmly into the ground ut eacl

branch like an extended arm. ishoots

arch is so high that taliyhot coach
could easily pass under 1t.

The railroad situation is again
hopeful. The presence of forcs
of O. R. & N. engineers in the vi
cinity of Aohlsr this week and the
reported activity of the N. P. all
portsnd something for the future if
not the immediate present. The de-
eision of the United States supreme
court on the railway merger again
places the N. P. in the control of
Hill and his associates, leaving Har-
riman minority stakeholder.

know that nothing will stand in the
way of his cherished ambition, the
control of the Pacific coast trade.
