In spite of the disineiination of GER

likely that Great Britain. through her

THE EXPERIMENT. AT eARr

George W. Perkins is convinced that
the steel trust city of Gary to be found
ed in Indiana will be a model munich
pality. As he has dreamed itnDut, the
new town will present in practice the
best of the plans put forward by
public ownership advocates.
Thus far it is pretty project in mu-
nicipal idealism- And 80 many people
in different parts of the country own
Mr.. Perkins feels satisfied in his san
guine view of the prospects.
Undoubtedly there will be many
things TO make Gary a place of pleas
ant living The city will have well
built houses, cheerful streets. parks.
assembly rooms, churches and excellent
schools. There will be for it's people
the usual proportions of work and play.
Mr. Perkins announcessas to the local
government that .'the citizens can have
their own way about any municipal
proposition which may come up. aside
from what the steel corporation de-
sires.'
Reading that aside and remember
ing what came to pass in the model city
of Pullman. one perceives the rock
upon which the idealism of Gary also
must split. With all the freedom
many affairs. they will still be pro-
prietary city Its principles will NOT be
those of the town meeting About the
right of initiative home rule will be
the limits fixed by overlooking cor
poration.
Experiments in model city building
by holding companies have not yet pro-
duced an enduring success in the Amer
lean atmosphere.-New York World.

HYBRID BUFFALOES OF
MONTEREY EXTERMINATED
Killing of These Animals Ends
Once Promising
Industry

With the Staying of three hafbreed
buffaloes in the seventeen mile for
est reserve of the Pacific improvement
company was enacted the closing chap
ter of what was believed at one time
would BECOME a big Industry in this
section of the country. The animals
had been running with the cattle In
the reserve and were regarded with
great interest by the tourists who
made the drive, to whom they were
always pointed out when in view.
About II years ago B. c. Winston
killed the two parents of a buffalo calf,
then but few hours old. captured the
calf and brought him to camp. The
calf grew and thrived and its owner
purchased a COW. With these two and
several other animals of wild nature
Mr.. Winston made UP show and
travelled with it through the United
States. bringing UP finally at Pacific
Grove.
Here. with the encouragement and
aid of the Pacific Improvement COM
pany which imported a number of head
of Galloway cattle, Mr.. Winston began
raising hybrids for beef and fur.
The Galloway cattle are coal black.
with the fur that alpost equals the
coat of the seal in gloss and fineness,
and the beef, 1t is claimed, Is juieier
and better than that of the ordinary
bovine.
The buffalo was by General Miles
pronounced to be the finest specimen
he had ever seen.
While exhibiting him one morning
to Del Monte guests the animal became
unmanageable, and. making a path, for
himself, landed in the center of the
maze.
With great expense to Mr.. Winston
and the Pacific improvement company
the hybrids increased to five. At the
end of the second year a disease un-
fortunately attacked the buffaloes and
carried off all but one. when Mr.. Wins
ton, becoming discouraged. gave up
the buffalo breeding business and came
to town.
These hybrids inherited all the cum
ming and woodcraft of their wild
parents and few traits of the mother,
For this reason they were a menace to
the land about the town. One of them
was killed and one was strangled to
death at Spanish siesta in 1896. An
other was shot because fences could
not be built too high for him to find
his way over.
Many residents of the Grove will
recall his last escapade, the wild chase
with the lariat through town after him.
the buffalos leap into the bay to avoid
being lassoed and the big fellows long
swim around Lighthouse point to make
his way back over the sand dunes into
the forest. The remainder of them
have come to their death at the hands
of employees of the Pacific Improvement
company.-Monterey Cypress
