AIlfoator's Affection.

It seems that if you only begin
early enough, it is possible to tame
even the fiercest animals. A baby
alligator, caught in a swamp, was
taken to the home of its captor in New
York. and in the course Of time it
would follow him about like a dog.
What was even more curious was that
it and the cat became great chums.
When pussy slept before the fire the
alligator used to lay its head on the
cat and go to sleep, too. The only
creature that excited the alligator was
a fox, chained in a yard. It did not try
to bite the fox, but lashed it with its
tail. Once, had the chain not broken,
poor Reynard would have been beaten
to death. The alligator was fed on
raw flesh and milk, Of which 1t was
very fond When the weather was
cold it was kept in a box with wool in
1t. One frosty night the wool had
been forgotten, and next morning the
alligator was found dead.

Row station over the Illinois Central

the clubs colors and all the members
Of the party seemed in jovial spirits.
The White Sox are the only team tc
undertake such Journey as they have
started upon, all the other club teams
have been contented to stay within the
boundry lines of the good old Z. S. A
President Comiskey of the White Sox
told his men last year that II they
won the pennant he would take them
on a long training trip and 1eW
weeks ago he chose the Mexican city
as their destination because it possesses
many advantages that are not to be
found in other communities, the wealth
er in Mexico is dry and the team is not
liable tc be handicapped from their
training on account of the heavy rains.
There were forty-nine people In
the party that left Chicago this
morning and six others will be picked

the hardest kind of a road to travel.
There are no cinch teams in the Ameri-

the strongest organization from a play

Chicago White Sox proved this asser-
tion last fall when they won the
worlds championship from the Chicago
Cubs, who had previously won the
National league pennant in a walk.
Those same White Sox are selected to
carry off another pennant this year
by all the Windy City critics and fans.
but that remains to be seen. Mean
while, in addition to the Sox. Grifith's
team must contend with the mighty
Clevelands, headed by the famous La

New York, March 5.-The New York
Americans began their campaign of
1907 yesterday when Clark Griffith and
several of his ball players left here for
their training quarters in Atlanta.
Willie Keeler, the star right fielder,
was the first to show up at the Flat
Iron building. Following him came
Jack Kleinow, the catcher, and Wal
ter Clarkson, the former Harvard
pitcher Danny Hoffman and George
Moriarity arrived in time to take
the trip. These men left for Atlanta at
4:30. Conroy, Williams and Orth are
slated to meet them at different points
on the way. Griffith said he expected
Chase and all the other men to show
up at Atlanta within day or two, with
the possible exception of Hickey, the
catcher secured from st. Louis, who is
coaching a college team at Delaware,
10. Chesbro, true to his word, did not
show up, but his absence did not seem
to worry Griffith or Owner Farrell,
who was on hand to wish the players
good luck. Patsy Donovan, manager of
Brooklyn club and his squad of players
will leave here for their training
quarters at Jacksonville, Fla, on a
Clyde line steam today.

NEVADA MAN SEEKS
 GOLD tN CALIFORNIA

RENO, Ncv" oct. 11.-Last week an agent of George Wingfeld. the young Nevada millionaire, closed a deal with the owner of the old Cook ranch near Auburn, Ca. handing him check for $25 900 to pay for the place and talk ing possession The ranch consists of about 300 acres in old broken-down fruit trees, with a dilapidated house on it. Many have speculated on what induced Wingfield to make the pur- chase but it has just leaked out that the lucky Nevada mining man believes he has obtained hidden treasure in the old river channel which runs through the place

EMINENT
 CHINESE

ANN ARBOR.-Chenting R. Wang. the eminent Chinaman. and advocate of reform in his own country, predicts Ia mighty struggle between the United States and the yellow race.
 Within ten years at the most" says Wang, Japan and America will be- come involved in conflict The sym pathy of China will be with Japan and she will join in the struggle to pre- serve the independence of the two Ori- ental powers and maintain control of the Far East"
 Wang was secretary of the Chinese Y. NJ. C. A. at Tokio. and is in close touch with the attitude of his own peo- pie and those of Japan. He has been a constant worker for reform in China and believes complete civilization soon will dawn on his country He says that within a year an imperial edict will go forth ordering the Chinese to Cemove thar queues. and that one regiment already has been attired in a European style.
 Wang expects to return to his own people when he finishes his course here.

situation. Realizing that they repre- scented servants of the public, they were careful to take what the diploma lists called "corrcct attitude" and to rest their cause entirely upon it's merits.
 To the surprise of all concerned, they succeeded in getting a bill through the legislature in a remarkably short time authorizing the levy of an extra mill for school purposes including addi- tional salaries The natural reluctance of some members of the board of edu- cation to add to what they felt to be a budget already ovcr-heavy was over come by the united efforts of the ma jority of the board led by it's presi- dent and of the committee. The board of tax levy has now added it's unani- nous approval and it only remains for the board of education to carry out the plan of distributing the increases of salaries laid down in its resolution adopted last Thursday evening
 Of the justice of paying higher sala- rios to the faithful but underpaid teachers, there is mo question. They de- serve a wage that will enable them to live properly and do the best work of which they are capable. on the other hand a higher wage level will attract to the schools a higher grade of teacher. From every point of view the action taken is wise and prudent

one important effect which the dis covcry of the beach lines has had upon this district is to turn away the thoughts of the miners from the creek benches.
 Probably, with the exception of An vii and Dexter creeks. the benches of this section have received less pros pecting than the benches of any other mining district containing popula- ton of about the same size There are almost innumcrablc creeks in Sew ard peninsula which carry enough gold in their bottoms to show that several of them must have benches which hold gold enough to make fortunes for the operators, if the conditions are at all favorable for working.
 The great majority of the creeks which carry little gold have hardly been touched. The beach lines are too rich and magnetic to let the thoughts wander away from them. Sometimes the worker on such creeks is bothered with water and throws his shovel down and hikes to the tundra.
 He believes he might as we'll put his energy into the search for bigger game if the smaller does not come with less trouble

Several weeks ago Wingfields man visited Auburn and in game of cards at the hotel learned the story of the wonderfully rich placer gold once taken in the old channel by the Spaniards, who lost the paystreak and abandoned the property. He inspected it carefully later returning with experts, and last week handed over the $25,000 check. giving as his reason for paying the high value that the ranch was on the route surveyed by the Southern Pacific to connect with the tunnel through the high Sierras It is understood that Wingfield will soon send a crew of men to start searching for the gold-bear- ing streak.
