MAKING WAMPUM.
A Process That Requires Both Pa

A Process That Requires Both Pa
thence and Skill.
With certain tribes wampum Is still
highly pFizsd and necklaces are worn
by men, women and children when
they are the fortunate possessors Of
them. To make wampum various kinds
Of shells are used, white and those
having a lavender hue being most
liked.
The thin shells are broken into little
pieces and by aid of nippers are made
as nearly round as possible. When
each piece is drilled in the center, the
old time fire kindling style of drill be-
ing used, the shells are then strung and
rolled with the hand ON a fat stone,
which grinds them until they are
smooth and even,
Comparatively few Indians among
those who prize wampum beads most
highly have the skill or patience to
make them, even though they had the
materials. The fact is there are but
few wampum bead makers in the coun-
try, and IL often happens that long pill
grimages must be made to secure the
requisites for really fine beads, and, as
with the white mans trinkets, that
which Is ''far fetched and dear bought"
Is most sought after far ornamentation.

Forest Reserve Rules.

Chief Potter of the Forest Reserve
service has addressed a letter to
supervisor Ellis of Sonora, CAL, in
regard to the rules to govern the
Stanislaus Forest Reserve of which
the reserved lands of this county
form a part. The rules are:
That during 1907 grazing is restI lot
ed to 10, 800 head of cattle and horses
and 90, QUO head of sheep within the
reservation.
The regular grain period is from
June 1st to October 3lst. and the rate
35 cents per head on cattle and 10
cents per head on horses. A special
grazing period is permitted from
May lst to November 30th at 45 cents
for cattle and 60 cents for horses.
Yearlong permits may be issued to
persons living within or adjacent to
the reserve at rs cents per head for
cattle and 30 cents per head for
horses. The super visor can permit
stock to enter the reserve fifteen days
earlier than the opening of the season
il the condition of the grazing Is
right. The half-ra allowance has
been discontinued.
The grazing period for sheep is
from June 10Th to October 10Th and
the charge is 9 cents per head, ami
oI civ ho 90
heing counted. A grazing period of
three months for sheep Is permitted
714 cents per head. The reservation Ia
divided into five grazing districts and
sheep will only be allowed to Craze in
Nos. l and 2. In districts 3 and 4, of
which the lands in this county form
a part, the grazing of sheep is not to
be allowed.
Small owners are protected by
establishing "a class A limit of $50
head of cattle, and in the approval of
applications for permits, the super
visors may allow renewal without
reduction on all permits for not
more than this number of stock. p"
Glass A applicants may also increase
their number % per cent provided
this does not make the total 150 head.
To avoid monopoly in grazing. a
maximum limit of 300 head of cattle
and horses and 5000 head of sheep Is
also established for one ownership.
A date will be announced by the
supervisor for filing applications for
grazing privileges. IT the information
Is right that sheep are ruled out OF
the reserves in this county, some of
our stockmen will be seriously affect
ed thereby.

STOPPED THE OVATION.
Richard Wagner's Peculiar ExpoFs.
ence In Vienna.

When Wagner was at the height Of
his popularity he visited Vienna. Bar
on Won Beust, then chancellor Of the
empire, was informed that the Prus-
sian party intended to give him an I'm
mense serenade-a serenade which
would have the air Of German protest
against the tendency of the ministry to
make the union Of Hungary and Aus
tria more intimate. The demonstration
promised to arouse strong feeling.
'Your excellency is warned" said
the chancellor's advisers. 1T Is impos-
sible to stop this manifestation unless
Wagner goes away, and he loves ova-
tiOns too well. Nothing will induce him
to depart"
"You think So" said Beust, with
smile.
An hour later Wagner was invited to
dine with the chancellor. He was fat
tered by the invitation and accepted 1t.
After dinner, at which Beust was de-
lightfully atfabie and entertaining, the
chancellor remarked: Herr Wagner,
are you interested In autographs?
have some very curious ones to show
you" And he opened a portfolio where
were letters Of Palmerston, Bismarck,
Napoleon I'LL, Heine and others.
Suddenly turning to a paper, dated
1848, he said: "Ah, look at this. 1t Is
very curious. What would your friend
his highness the king Of Bavaria say II
this paper, which would .be significant
in connection with the pelltical sere=
nede which the Germans are going to
give you, should be published tomor.
row In the Vienna papersT
The composer examined the paper
and recognized, with surprise, an old
proclamation Of one Richard Wagner,
who, au ardent revolutionist in 1S48,
had proposed to the youth of that time
to set fire to the palace of the king Of
SaxOny. He saw his autograph and
that it might be the means Of getting
him into serious trouble.
'fVery curious, is it not. Herr Wag-
neR7" said the minister,
"Very curious. your exeeliency," re-

Owl Barber Shop and Cruise Jewelry
Store Broken into.

Some time during Sunday night
parties entered the Owl Barber Shop
and Cruise Jewelry Store (both in same
room and made their getaway with
some rings, razors and other valu-
ables.
Entrance was gained by earring
the wire netting from little window
which was used as ventilator, from
the narrow passage-way to the Owl
wine rooms. Mr.. Cruise takes all
watches and other valuables with him
when leaving the store at night, so
the burglars only found few rings
to take.
They must have been after the
jewelry. chiefly, for they took but one
razor from the barber shop side, also
valuable military" hair brush.

Was quite startling at the time and

o. C. Miller, the brakeman. was
handling a fussee while near Perth,
three miles west of Loyelock, when
it fell and exploded, setting off a
number of others that were near by.
The conclusion threw the brakeman
down, tore off the end of bunk and
did other damage to the inside furni-
ture of the Caboose. Particles of
the burning fusee were shot into the

LIFT ear and SCARED and burned the

DR.. Pinniger, railroad physician at

feared will be of permanent injury to
