GOLD IN BIG CHUNKS.
Indiar Chief Says Legend of Tribe
Tells of II.

Chief Good of the Nanaimo tribe
SAYS there has been a legend In his
tribe for several generations that
about the center OF Vancouver Island
there Is a stream with small falls.
over the falls gold descends all the
time and il basin Is thrust into the
water golden grains can be caught
therein. There" says the chief, is
plenty of the stuff that the white man
worships in blind obliteration of all
that is good and noble. At the base
OF the falls is almost solid mass OF
gold and in earlier days many Indians
cut away chunks to make bullets so
that he might hunt and get his daily
food"
1t is a matter of history that in 1862
two Frenchmen left Victoria to hunt
for the Midas stream. They returned
some months later with well filled
pokes, but money or persuasion could
not induce them to make the trip
again. and their faces blanched with
terror when they spoke OF this curious
Eldorado. This bears out the super
stition of the Indians that terrible
god holds guard over the treasure.
that there is something supernatural,
something dreadful about the golden
river.
On this account few redskins have
ever been induced to Joint the white
parties which from time to time have
been made up TO look for the source OF
the gold.

SHELDON ISSUES BULLETIN.
HAS SOMETHING MORE TO SAY
AsoUT PEACH WILLOWS.
says That Affected Trees Are worthless
aud Urges That They Be Dug Ont
and Burned Immediately

DR.. John L. Sheldon OF he state
experiment station at MoJgantown,
who was in Berkeley county for sew
eral DAYS recently investigating the
peach yellows, has embodied the re-
suit Of his visit in a bulletin which
has been sent to manv growers in
this section DIR. Sheldon says in
part
Peach yellows are known to he a
contagious disease, and like other con.
tagious diseases, it will in time spread
from one tree and locality to other
unless something Il done to it. so that
in few years at most, an epidemic
of neach yellows may be expected in
those localities where it is now pres.
ent. While there may not yet be
sufficient cause for general alarm,
in the writer's opinion. judging from
what he has seen in q number of
large peach orchards. an extra effort
should be made to control this disease
which is such menace to the peach
industry in other parts Of the United
States.
Those who have had experience
with yellows know that when tree
has the genuine yellows it is DOOMED
sooner or later. A tree may live for
several years after it begins TO show
signs of having the yellows. and may
possibly bear few, small, insipid
peaches, bat for all practical pur-
poses it is worthless and becomes a
source of infection for O. her peach
trees growing near it. There is no
known cure for peach yellows.
Affected trees are always worth
less. and the sooner they are converted
into stovewood the sooner the new
healthy tree can be grown in their
places. Dig out. thsns and burn and
do it PROMPTLY

Birds Made to Order.

"The Japanese can make birds to
ORDER" said an ornithologist. With
their indomitable patience and their
Incompatible ingenuity. they can pro-
duce new kinds of birds as a mil
liner can produce new kinds of hats.
"They have pet sparrow that is
perfectly white Do you know how
they make him? Well, they take a
pair Of the palest sparrows they can
find, and keep them in a white cage
in white room. where their only
attendant is a white-robed servant.
The result, after a series Of genera
tons, is pure white sparrow. Or
so, at least, the Japanese have told
me.
"They breed also a rooster with a
tail almost as big as peacock's.
First, they say, they select a rooster
with very fine tail. They make him
stand on a high perch, and they drag
his tail downward they stretch 1t out,
with weights So they do with the
best-tailed OF his descendants for
some years, and in the end an enor'
