Sometimes we were in great danger of being run over by herds of buffalo. Should herd of two or three thousand stampede they would run over anything In their route. At such times we could hear them coming for five or ten miles, the sound of their coming being like distant thunder. Should we hear them coming in the night time we would arise build up fire and shoot off our fire arms to turn them in aonther direction"
 MT. Thayer says the prejudice of the Mexicans ran high against the Americans in those days, it being unsafe for an American to go out after night. Murders were frequent. Saloons and gamy,ng houses were run all night.
 Cliff DweIIers Park.
 One of Santa E'es attractions for tour ists is the Cliff Dweller's park, twenty miles west. The number of dwellings is put down at 10000. some of them being communal buildings having as high as 1200 rooms. In the cliff dwellings proper the back walls are formed by natural cliffs, while the front and partition walls are of masonry, consisting of rudely dress ed stone laid in adobe mortar. In the Ca- vite lodges, another kind of cliff dwelling. a doorway is hewn into the face of the cliff to depth of from to 5 feet. Then the excavation of the dwelling began. A front room was dug out which may be from to 20 feet in diameter, according to the use for which 1t was designed. If for a sleeping room only it Is liable 10 be from to feet in diameter Those designed for living rooms are usually from 8 to 12 feet in diameter, with ceil- ings not oyer feet above the floor. The cliff dwellings are in park of great natural beauty being for the most part a plateau of from 5000 to 5000 feet in alti- tude and cut by deep canyons. con- siderable part of the tract is underlaid by volcanic tufa. In some places this tufa has been entirely eroded away, while in other places 1t rises abruptly to height of 100 to 15O feet. The face of the country presents many miles of almost perpendie- ular cliffs and in these elii.s are found the cliff dwellings
 Who were these people who dwet here in the long ago? This is a controverted question Charles r. Lummis who has lived among the Pueblo In,,ians. studied their quaint habits, their folk lore and their legends says these cliff dwellers were the ancestors of the Pueblo Indians now living in New Mexico. I think the opinion of MT. Lummis upon this question Is entitled to the highest consideration.

 BEDROCK BASIS.
 These are not the views of visionaries but of practical men who have studied tine situation carefully, and whose con- clusions are based upon two great facts, namely d) the superiority of basic open hearth steel over Bessemer steel for most industrial purposes, and (2) basic open hearth steel can be manufactured in the Birmingham district cheaper than any where else on earth and on larger scale because of the abundance of the raw materials and their proximity to each other

An enormous sum of money is to be ex- pended in the Birmingham district as a result of the merging of the interests of the Tennessee and Republic companies.
 The most conservative estimate of tho amount is $15,000,000, but 1t is said by those who are entitled to speak with some authority that $250Oo,000 will be nearer the mark.
 GIGANTIC DEVELOPMENT SCHEME.
 This can mean nothing less than the de- velopment of the properties to the fullest extent-the doubling of the capacity of the steel plant at Ensley, for instance, as soon as possible; the probable erection of @ steel plant at Thomas and additional blast furnaces at different points, and the opening of more e0e' and iron ore mines.
 The scattering of these millions will give employment to thousands of skilled mechanics. miners and laborers, and sig nifies a steady and heavy increase in

The prosperity of the city and district may, therefore, be re- garded as assured for years to come. as fl will require q long time to carry out the extensive scheme of development which is said to have been practically de- cided upon already.

SEEKS A RULING.
Point Raised by Electric Engineer Re-
ferred to Corporation Counsel.

Electrical Engineer Walter c. Allen has
applied to Corporation Counsel A. B. Du-
vail for an opinion on the question as to
whether private electric plants in the Dis
trict can furnish current for lamps on adj
jacent premises by authority of the Dis
trict Mr.. Allen states that there are a
number of these private plants located, as
a rule, in squares in which there are no
alleys, so that the wires connecting the
plant with the private premises do not
pass over public space. In a number of
instances, however. the current is fur
nished to lamps outside the building lines,
for the installation of which permits are
necessary.
Mr.. Allen says he is not sure that his
department should recognize the right of
the owners of these plants TO furnish such
current by issuing these permits. He says
that the wires connecting with these lamps
must pass over and through public space.
and the only corporation enjoying such a
privilege under the law, so far he
knows is the Potomac Electric and Power
Company. the semi-public lighting corpori n
ton.

BICYCLE REGULATIONS.
Mr.. Stephen Vail Writes Commission
ers on the Subject.

Commissioner mcfarland today received
q communication from Mr.. Stephen Vail of
this city suggesting that there should be
a regulation in the District requiring bicy-
ciists to ring a bell when approaching a
pedestrian. He also complained that the
regulations prohibiting splitting the side
walks is not strictly enforced.
Major Sylvester informed Commissioner
Macfarland that there is regulate in
force in the District requiring bicyclists
to ring a bell when approaching persons
on the streets and that cases of violation
of that regulation are prosecuted in the
Police Court nearly every week He also
stated that effort is made TO enforce
the anticipating regulations but that the
strict enforcement of that law is handi-
capped by the limited police force.
II was stated today that of the 625 officers
In the metropolitan police force. forty of
them are detailed for duty al the White
House. The increase in the number of
officers stationed at the executive mansion.
ii is learned, has been considerable this
year over the number there last year IT
is also stated that during the middle of
the day there are only about sighty-four
policemen on duty on the streets in the
city of Washington. The difficulty expert
enced in securing a strict enforcement OF
all the laws and regulations in the Dis
trict is obvious when there are so few
arms of the law to enforce the laws.

TRIED TO SEE PRESIDENT.
First Attempt of Unwelcome Visitor
in New York Today.

NEW YORK, February 1.-THE first at
| tempt of an unwelcome visitor to call upon
/ President Roosevelt since his arrival in
| New York, occurred early today, when a
man who called himself William Waldorf
Jackson, jr., of Lowell, Mass, called at the
home of Douglas Robinson, 400 Madison
avenue where the President stopped for
! the night, and asked to have his card sent
! to the President. The secret service men
and policemen on guard about the entrance
informed the man that the President had
not yet arisen and asked him to call again.
He was not arrested, but went to a hotel,
saying he would return later to the Rob
inSon home.
In answer to questions as to his identity
and why he wanted to see the President,
Jackson said he wished to confer with the
President to reforms in government and
that he was self-nominated candidate for
the presidency in 1896, 1900 and 1904. He
declared that he was the proprietor of the
Hotel Hamilton in Lowell. His movements
are being watched by the police.
Jackson seemed perfectly willing to talk
about himself and his plans.
Il wished to speak with President RooSe-
velt,' he-said, with view to imparting
to him some valuable information as to
how the office he holds should be con-

best style the pretty German song, Sing

The concluding address was by Represen-
tative B. B. Dovener of West Virginia. He
said in his boyhood days in Virginia he
had heard that abolitonists had horns and
were a type of the DOGGY man. This boy
hood dream had been beautifully shattered
in his after life when he became aware of
the true situation, and raised company of
loyal Virginians to fight for the Union and
protect the flag of our fathers.
when Lincoln uttered those grand
words, With charity for all and malice for
none he conquered my prejudices. What
some people term Lincoln's ambition was
mistake 1t was not ambition, but his
recognition of duty. Even during the civil
war the people of the south admired Lin
coin, though they did not openly confess it.
His memory and his name Is now revered
by those who wore the gray as well as
those who wore the blue. Let us never for
