AMeSSage from Atlanta.

One Of the best painters in Atlanta
says, 1.-THE
Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1907-11-22

The bull, after amusing himself for
some minutes in tossing about the re-
mains of the framework, stopped and
looked cunningly around, and soon no
ticed the tree, the only obstacle left to
remove in order to completely empty the
arena.
He remained motionless for an instant,
as if hesitating ere he formed resolu-
ton, then bowed his head, made the sand
fly with his fore feet, lashed his tail
violently, and rushing at the tree, dealt
it repeated powerful Llows.
The leperos uttered a cry of despair.
The tree, which was overladen, and in
cessantly sapped at its base by the bull,
swayed, and at last fell sideways, carry
ing down in its fall the leperos clinging
to its branches. The audience clapped
their hands and broke into frenzied
bravos, which changed into perfect yells
Of delight when a poor fellow who was
limplng away was suddenly caught up by
the bull and tossed ten feet high in the
air.
All at once, and at the moment when
the Joy was attaining Its paro1ysm, sew
eral rounds of artillery were heard, fol-
lowed by a well sustained musketry fire.
AS II by magic the bull was driven back
to the torril, the soldiers scattered about
the circus leaped into the ring, and be-
coming actors instead of spectators, drew
up in good order and leveled their muskets
at the occupants of the galleries and
boxes, who remained motionless with ter
ror, for they did not understand what
was going on.
A door opened and twenty bandsmen,
followed by eight officers and escorted by
dozen soldiers, entered the ring and be-
gan beating the drums. 1t was a gov
ernmental bando. So soon as silence was
restored martial law was proclaimed and
sentence of outlawry passed on General
Don Sebastian Guerrero and his adher-
ents, who had just raised the standard Of
revolt and pronounced against the estab-
lished government.
Mexico was once again the prey Of one
of those scenes Of murder and carnage
which, since the proclamation Of indepen-
dence, has too often stained her streets
and squares with blood.
The President was on horseback In the
center of the arena, sending of orders,
listening to messages or detaching re-en-
forcements wherever they were wanted.
The circus was converted into the head
quarters Of the army of order, and the
spectators, although allowed to depart
after some arrests had been effected
among them, remained trembling in their
seats, preferring not to venture into the
streets, which had been converted into
real battlefelds.
Ito be continued.)

into foreign ports in time of peace,
marking the advent of new navy.
Admiral Walker was born In Hills
borough, N. H., March 20, 1895. He
was graduated from the Naval Acad-
emy In 1856. Promoted lieutenant CON-
mander in 1862, he was ordered to the
Mississippi Squadron, in which he had
command Of the Chilllcothe and subse-
quently Of the Baron De Kalb A year
afterward he was ordered to the Bos-
ton navy yard. He was promoted to
commander In 1866 and In 1869 took
command Of the Sabine. In the Baron
De Kalb he saw much active fighting
along the Mississippi. In the siege Of
Vicksburg he commanded the naval
battery Of the Fifteenth Army Corps
and commanded gunboat In the North
Atlantic squadron in the capture OF
Wilmington. He was especially pro-
NOTED In 1865 for war service.
In 1877 Walker was promoted cap
tain and was made a member of the
Lighthouse Board in 1873. Three years
afterward he was made chief of the
bureau Of navigation. He was ordered
to England, Germany and France on
duty in connection with the building
Of the new navy. Promoted commodore
In 1899, he was put in command of the
squadron Of evolution, which visited
European waters. In 1892 this became
known as the White Squadron, with
Walker still In command. Walker was
promoted rear admiral In 1894, and was
ordered to command the Pacific squad
ron. After five months he was ordered
to the presidency of the Lighthouse
Board. On March 20, 1897, he was re-
tired for age. He was the first presi-
dent Of the reconst tructed Panama
Canal Commission.

SEEDLESS TOMATOES.
Much Expected from New Jersey Bx-
pertinent

Much Expected from New Jersey Ex-
pertinent.
Professor Halsted and his associates
at the New Jersey stations have Sue
ceeded In evolving a nearly seedless to-
mato. Whereas each fruit Of the ordi-
nary tomato contains hundreds of
seeds, the form which Prof. Halsted
has developed seldom contains no more
than fifty seeds and frequently there
are not more than five or six and often
none. This variety has become pretty
well established now and is called the
Giant. 1t originated as result of a
cross of Golden Sunrise upon Dwarf
Champion. The flesh Is particularly
fine favored. The plants, three feet
apart each way, covered the ground d.
voted to the block, and fowered up to
the killing frosts near November l..
The type appears to be well fixed. At
tempts to cross other sorts upon it
have uniformly failed. Seedless fruits
have also been produced by Professor
Halsted on several varieties and crosses
Of tomatoes. but these crosses were
quite uniformly dwarfed in size, many
in cluster being not larger than peas,
but solid heshed, and often of good
quality. In one instance the fruit had
the flavor Of the strawberry. Cuttings
taken from plants which produced nu-
merous seedless fruits of this sort
when planted out in the garden gave
only normal fruits.
q. p. Sandsten, working at the Wis
cousin station, produced seedless tomar
toes by an entirely different method, |.
e., the use Of excessive amounts of fer
tillzers. Cuttings taken from these
types and set outdoors remained true
to type, but produced more and larger
fruit than in the greenhouse. The work
with seedless tomatoes at both these
stations is being continued and prom
lses to result in the establishment Of
varieties with far less seeds than the
sorts commonly grown.

USES OF REDWOOD.
California Coast Product n Strong
Competitor of Cypress.

California Coast Product n Strong
Competitor of Cypress.
In searching for substitute for
ordinary woods employed in construc-
tion work, the supply Of many Of which
is rapidly decreasing, 1t has been found
that the coast redwood forests Of Cal
ifornia offer a product which can be
put to excellent commercial use, says
the Boston Transcript. California red
wood Is very durable and its fine work.
ing qualities make 1t strong competi-
tor Of cypress, and also adaptable to
many Of the uses to which white and
yellow pine are put Redwood, as
sold on the market, may be the product
of either Of the giant sequoias or ''big
trees" the commercial utilization of
which has very properly called forth
great protests, or Of the coast redwood.
Cutting the big trees would mean the
speedy extinction Of this unique and
wonderful species, which is found only
In isolated groves and which repro
duces abundantly, so that 1t Is a good
tree for the forester to utilize for Sue
cessive timber crops.
1t Is likely that the lumber trade
will encourage the use Of redwood more
and more in the future, as comparative
ly little practical use has been made Of
the products Of these extensive forests
Of California up to the present time.
The use of redwood Is now about IA
per cent Of the total consumption Of
lumber. 1t Is estimated that the for
ests Of California have about 75,00O,-
100000 feet Of standing redwood tim
Der and the wise use of these products
by conservative numbering will In a
degree make up for the greatly lessen
ed supply Of other useful woods.
The Redwood Association has recent
ly requested the forest service Of the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture to make a complete study of the
physical and mechanical properties of
redwood lumber In order to obtain re-
liable information concerning Its prop
critics. The forest service has decided
to comply with this request and will
conduct a series Of experiments in CO.
operation with the University of Call
fornia at the testing laboratory at
Berkeley.
Redwood timber for long time has
had extensive use in California, but
not until recently has entered the east
ern markets. Its use in the East, thus
far, has been for shingles, finishing,
flooring, siding and laths. 1t Is proba-
BILE that in the near future Its useful
ness as a structural material will ex-
tend because of the rising price Of the
commoner eastern woods, and because
of Its durability and strength In COM
parison with Its weight. It's fire-resist-
ing quality Is another argument for its
use which has caused it to find favor
In the West. Citizens of San Fran
cisco have always held that the fire
risk In that city was less than In other
cities with an equal number of wooden
structures because Of this quality ot
redwood.

Boil as much spinach as Is needed,
drain 1t well, add to 1t little pure
olive oil and put it in saucepan to
simmer with a taste Of shallot, some
chopped parsley, and salt and pepper
to taste. Season with stoned raisins,
currants and little sugar. Put the
spinach into rounds of paste about two
inches In diameter, making the paste
Of flour and eggs. Fold the paste over
the spinach (as one would for turn
overs) and fry in pure olive oil.

Bread Panada.

Toast on both sides slices Of stale
bread from which all the crust has been
removed. Put In bowl, sprinkle each
slice with little salt and sugar and
pour in enough boiling water to cover
all. Fit lid on top of the bowl and
set 1t In an outer pan Of boiling water.
Simmer gently until the bread Is as
tender as jelly. Eat hot, with powdered
sugar and little nutmeg.
Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1907-11-22
Baked Toast,

Cut the crust from the bread, slice
and toast. AS each slice Is toasted dip
1t in salted hot water, then lay in
pudding dish, putting few bits Of
butter and little salt on each slice.
When the dish is packed full of the
toast pour over 1t scaldlng milk, to
which add a little cream If you have
any to spare. Fill the dish to the brlm
with the milk, then cover closely and
set In the oven to bake for twenty min
utes. The toast should be tender all
through and absorb most Of the milk.
