And so 1t came about, though the
struggle lasted three days. The Rough

imperturbable on the deacon seat look

stretched comfortably aslant. one hand
supporting the elbow of the other,
which in turn held his short brier pipe.
The cook, a thin faced, sly man,
secretly admired him.

he passed the silent scaler.
But in the three days the Rough Red
put his men to work on a little cabin.
Fitz Patrick ut once took his scaling
rule from the corner and set out into
the forest.
His business was, by measuring the
diameter of each log, to ascertain and
tabulate the number of board feet put
In by the contractor. On h basis of
his single report James Bourke would

had cheated you in favor of his mas
ter-that you had been compelled by
false figures to work a day or so for
nothing?
Fitz Patrick scaled honestly, for he
was a just man, but exaetitude and
optimism of estimate never have ap-
pr~oxiIhated, and they did not in this
case. The Rough Red grumbled, ac-
-cused, swore, threatened. Fitz Patrick
smoked steadily and said nothing.
The two men early came to a clash
over the methods of cutting. Thu

was theirs. Small timber they skipped,
large timber they sawed high. tops
they left rather than trim them into
logs. Fitz Patrick would not a the

Finally In looking owe a skidway he
noticed that one log had not beer blue

would not be paid for his b in cut

to below through the woods:

The scaler swung leisurely down the
travoy trail and fronted the other with
level eyes
"Well?' said he.
"Why amt that log marked?"

"Ain't it sound and good? Is there a

The following day he culled a log in
another and distant skidway whose
butt showed a slant of a good six
inches. The day following he culled
another of the same sort on still an
other skidway. He examined it close
ly, then sought the Rough Red.
1T is useless, Jimmy Bourke,'' said
he, ito be hauling of that same poor
log from skidway to skidway. You
can shift her to every travoy trail in

The Rough Red raised his hand, then
dropped it again, whirled away with a
curse, whirled back with another and
spat out:
"By -, Fitz Patrick. we go too far!
we've bounded me and harried me

"Yo' IN yore old fellows is robbers

Fitz Patrick turned ON his heel and
resumed his work. The men ceased
theirs and began to talk.

display of horticultural products as
any In Manitoba. The whole Of his
holding is in high state Of cultivation

vegetable specimens. which have fortu-
natcly escaped damage by hail, al,

once occurred within a few miles. The
potatoes are a wonderful crop, and he
expects to raise 1900 bushels from his
patch of Az acres. A half-doZen Of
tubers selected yesterday average more
than a pound each. Adjoining the po-
tatoes may be seen marvellous collec-
ton of tomatoes. There are GOO plants,
all growing under an enormous weight
of fruit. One single stock picked yes
terday contained eighteen tomatoes and
weighed four pounds. This extraordin-
ary example of marvellous growth. to-
gether with some of the potatoes, were
sent to the Free Press office. ~
The proprietor was the first in town
with several specimens. including green
corn. The season has been very favor
able for onions, and one square patch
of nearly an acre is looking remark
ably healthy. In addition, there are
good crops of cabbages, caulifower,
turnips, parsnips, carrots, pumpkins,
marrows, cucumbers, celery, peas, let
tuce, rhubarb, etc. The floral depart
ment has not been neglected, and a
charming display OF all the well-known
blooms were shown. including a spe-
eially choice lottof asters.

VALLEJO WATER FRONT
TERMINALS IN DEMAND
Rival Corporations Battle
for Wharfage Rights in
Solano City
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

VALLEJO. Feb. 17.-Further compli-
cation in the battle for supremacy
now being waged by the proposed in
terurban electric lines in this sec
tion is promised in the application of
the Monticello Steamship Company to
the City Trustees for a franchise on
the local water front to erect wharf
go feet long north of the present land
ing of the San Francisco and Vallejo
line of the steamship company. This it
is said, would shut out the Vallejo and
Northern Railway Company from it's
desired terminal near the Georgia street
wharf.
The Sacramento and Vallejo Railway
Company, which was recently incorpo-
rated by San Francisco and Sausalito
capitalists to build a road from this
city to the State capital, is taking it's
part in the battle for rights of way
through the strategic points in the
Jamison Canyon. Thus far the Vallejo
and Northern has had the better of it
in Jamison Canyon and the upper end
of the county, owning franchises in Sui
sun, Vacaville, Fairfield and Woodland
and having filed an application in VAL
lejo. 1t has purchased the land through
the narrow canyon.
II the Monticello Steamship Company
procures the wharf which 1t desires in
addition to its present water front
holdings 1t will either force the new
company, which intends to operate a
line of steamships between Vallejo and
San Francisco, to give up this part of its
project or to use the city wharf at the
foot of Virginia street. 1t is said that
the Vallejo and Northern has planned
to put on a line of steamships which
will make the trip from Vallejo to San
Francisco in an hour and fifteen min
utes-nearly an hour quicker than the
Monticello boats now make the trip.
valle5oites are very anxious to see a
competingNl line put on and the battle
which will be fought out at the meet
ing of the Board of Trustees Wednes-
day evening will be watched with keen
interest.

PUGET SOUND ANXIOUS
To GET MANEUVER CAMP

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-Represen-
tative Cushman is at work trying to
secure an item in the Sundry Civil bill
appropriating 100000 for the pur-
chase of land on American Lake,
Washington, for a Pacific Coast bril-
gade and maneuver camp. Secretary
Taft, when asked about 1t by the ap-
propriatiGns committee, pointed out
that an army board had already rec
commended the Henry ranch in San
Luis Obispo County for such a ma
neuver camp. The committee seemed
to think the law should specify the
location, but should give the depart
ment an opportunity to choose its own
site anywhere between San Diego and
the British Columbia line. General
Funston has strongly recommended
such a camp.
After some discussion the commit
tee decided to leave the question of
establishing a brigade post to the fu-
ture. 1t is probable that provision
will be made at this session for pur-
chasing a maneuver camp somewhere
on the coast. Puget Sound people will
make a strong effort to h@vc it To-
Gated at American Lake.
