eronnd If the logs were not large two were nut on for load. The logs were thus hauled direct from the stump to the landing on the river.
 It was a slow and tedious way com nared with the present day big double sleighs eight feet track and fourteen feet hunks, capable of loading on as high as twenty or thirty logs, hauled by four heavy horses. instead of a go-devil and ona yoke of cattle. The main roads are now cut and graded like railroad oed'
 When there is no snow, but good freezing weather. the road Is sprinkled with water, which. allowed to freeze. forms good ice road.
 The logging camp of the early days consisted of a mems shanty and novel for the cattle The shanty was built or logs. with scoop roof and large square hole in the center to let the smoke out. the fireplace being directly undeneath: on this the cooking was done in camp ket- tles and Dutch ovens-no stoves or steel ranges. It also heated the shanty and furnished plenty of smoke The men slept in one end in hunks, the dining room and kitchen were in the other.

CT Verona, at the Bush Terminal Stores, South Brooklyn, got meal yesterday. Early in the morning the serpent showed uneasiness. It's hide began to peel off, and that was d sure sign the python was ready for a chicken.
 Captain Debrons sent his steward to the nearest live-fowl market. He returned with a dozen pullets-mottled, fat and juicy. The python lives in a cage, and each fowl was in turn introduced to his fastidious snakeship. The hens seemed to know what had struck them. One at a time the greedy python gulped down the bullets, until eleven of the plump fowls had disappeared within his elastic cuticle. The snake was then as large around as a beer keg
 The hens were swallowed-feathers, claws, peaks and all. The python will be three months digesting the meal. It's skin soon began to take on a brighter and more healthy hue. The monster also got sleepy and when they put the last fowl into it's cage 1t was fast asleep. The twelfth hen roasted on the fold of the python, and became hungry herself while waiting to be eaten. So the steward brought her some bread crumbs and scraps of beef. which the snakes lunch devoured with great relish.
 At last the hen went to sleep, too, and last night she was taken from the cage and given to the ships cook

Rose Farm of 12 Acres.

T TUIH IHt 1OnOna Times.
 One of the most interesting sights In the Pomona valley is the development work now being done by the California Rose company on it's rose farm at the foot of White avenue. Here may be seen literally acres of roses, the slips being planted q few weeks ago, covering the entire twelve acre tract. in rows about three feet apart.
 The plants are about six inches in height, and here and there over the tract
The Birmingham age-herald., 1906-06-17

many of them are in bloom. It will be a beautiful sight when the rose bushes are grown to two or three feet in height, all in blossom.
 The work of irrigating and tending the plants at this time of year requires about twenty-five men From December until April, during the shipping season. prob ably fifty to seventy-five people will be kept busy. At thls season the young plants are being pushed rapidly as tender care. good soil. the available amount of sunshine and constant irrigat- Ing will accomplish it.

The ninth convention OF
ZiOn1sm American Federation Of III
onists recently held in Tannervllle, New
York, like former conventions, accom-
plished nothing. The delegates met, ex-
changed greetings, delivered few elo-
ouent but meaningless addresses, sang
several Hebrew songs, and left for home.
Nothing was done for Zion, nothing was
accomplished for Jews in general Inc
restoration of Palestine to the Jews IS IN
the same stage as before-an impossible
ity. -,
The return to Zion has been the desire
of the orthodox Jew since the destruction
Of the temple by the Roman legions un-
rTitus, but the accomplishment OF that
desire appears more remote now than
ever. There are many reasons which go
to make Zionism as advocated by vision
aries impracticable. To begin with, Pal
estine in it's palmiest days, was not pro
ductive enough to support more than
100000 people. In the next place, the
land is an arid and comparatively un-
fruitful country. The colonies estab-
lished in 1890 by Baron Rothschild are
not as yet self-supporting and according
to the recent report Of the Jewish Colon
ization Association Of London they will
never be self-supporting. Colonists who
depend on agriculture for living must

Gently come to hand.
Mr. Lamey in relating some of his ex-
periences while making the long jour
ney from ''office boy'' to manager OF
fire insurance companies, gives voice to
some keen observations which combine
some humor and great deal of truth.
Speaking of the Jews, he says:
1T is the vogue to jump upon the
Jew, but does he deserve the abuse
heaped upon him? Is he such pyro-
maniac as the baiters would imply?
There are bad ones-the good Jews ad-
nit it, and have as few dealings with
them as they have with bad Gentiles-
but it is unfair to blame race for the
misdeeds of an individual. We come in
contact with practically all the Jews-we
do business with possibly ten per cent.
Of the other races. They are all mer-
chants, manufacturers and property
owners, real and personal. They are
active, not passive citizens, and they are
trained to their avocations from youth.
"That they are more shrewd than
their competitors is reproach-to the
latter. They are good patrons to all
branches Of insurance, for they take no
chances against which they may guard.
This is but business prudence. They
never seek cheap, but always a good
article, so they rarely object to going
rates They abhor courts, avoid jails and
settle their disputes usually without in
tervention l am firmly convinced that
they. as class, are good subjects and
profitable.

necessarily be placed III proximity W H
market or port. AS yet there is no out
let for the colonists products. After tif-
teen years of hard struggle and the IN
vestment of many millions, colonization
in the Holy Land is as yet in the eXpedl-
mental stage The stout-hearted colonlsts
after all these years Of toll and hard
ship are not able to support them
selves and their families without constant
aid from their co-religiOnists in Europe
and America.
The political distractions in the way
of a restoration Of Israel in the Holy
Land are by no means the least OF the
obstacles to be encountered. Wholesale
Jewish immigration is forbidden by the
Turkish government. Restrictive meas
ures are vigorously enforced against the
Jews entering Palestine. The Ottoman
government refuses registration OF title
deeds of land held by Jews. There is,
however, another important factor to be
considered. In Palestine is the tomb OF
the founder of the Christian religion.
Germany and France claim to be protec-
tors of Eastern Christians, while Russia
will certainly never yield the custody OF
the Holy Place to the Jews without
struggle. With the exception OF kletf,
there is no sacred shrine for the orthodox
of the Greek church other than that Of
Jerusalem. The pilgrimage to Jerusalem
is obligatory upon the members of the
Russian branch Of the Eastern church.
Whenever the Jews return to Palestine it
will only be with the good will of the ma
tions which are now ready to fly at each
others throats. Turkish apprehension,
Russian antipathy, German ambition,
French suspicion and English interest at
present work against the embodiment Of
the Zionist dream.
The great mass of the Jewish people,
even in Russia and ROumania, could not
90 to Palestine if they would, and would
not be willing to live there if they could.
They have nothing in common but their
creed. They speak as many languages
as were spoken at the Tower Of Babel.
While the majority of Jews now living
under monarchial governments might be
content to live in kingdom, a very large
fraction would spurn the very idea of a
monarchy. The great majority are sin
cerely attached to the various countries
Of their birth or adoption, and could not
be recalled to Zion even if Gabriel blew
his horn.
The dream of the Zionists is therefore
impossible Of realization. The leaders Of
the movement are honest in their fruit
less endeavor, but are impractical men.
They are visionaries who do not seem to
comprehend that modern Judaism is as
