ing on the State tree In the matter
of the Superior Judges where the in
cumbents have not resigned the Gov
ernor is no longer in doubt about the
now is about whom to make Judges.
And about one of these places the
doubt has been removed.
The Governors construction of the
law is that under the constitution those
members of the Superior bench who
have been elected to the appellate
bench cease to be Superior Judges at
IL O'Clock Sunday night, when they be-
come Appellate Judges and absolutely
disqualified to sit as Superior Judges.
Acting on this construction, the Gov
ernor viii on Monday morning appoint
Judge John A. Hosmer to the San
Francisco Superior bench TO succeed
Judge Kerrigan, and end the suspense
Of the legal gentlemen seeking the
other three places.
Pardee was expected to relieve the
strained local situation today but
either he has, as he claims, not decided
who will succeed Judge Hart or he too
thoroughly enjoys the situation to spoil
it before the last practicable moment.
The fight seems to be narrowed down
to c w Post and James Devine.
APPOINTMENT ICE BROKEN
Aram appears to be out of it, and
while Philip s. Driver has presented a
Voluminous petition and numerous let
ters, some of his written indorsers have
found opportunity to advise Pardee
they signed as a mere matter of form.
The appointment ice was broken today
by the firing of three members of the
State Board of Agriculture, as fore
casted by The Call Fox, Paine and
Land retired from official life.
AS if to furnish salutary refutation
Of the claim that he will appoint all his
friends to four-year terms, Pardee
carefully figured out the retirement
clause of the law before naming the
terms for his today's appointees. Each
term is so fixed that vacancies will oc-
cur as provided by the law creating the
board. And in the case of those men,
bers who have been holding over for
year or more their terms are fixed to
expire as they would expire had the
incumbents been reappointed the day
their previous terms expired.

there was no fog at sea. In this he is

Garden Show to Have Complete For
eign Exhibits

The most important feature of the
seventh National Automobile Show, TO
be held January 1913 at Madison
Square Garden. New York. will be the
foreign exhibit. At the recent meet
ing of the Importers Automobile
Salon it was unanimously decided that
the Salon should endeavor to make
the foreign exhibit surpass any OF for
mer years. This will be made possible
as the date of the Garden Show is such
that all the interesting exhibits of the
Paris Salon can be shipped in time to
be here by January IL. Carlton r:
Mabley, president of the Importers
Automobile Salon and a member of the
Association OF Licensed Automobile
Manufacturers Show Committee, pre-
diets that the foreign exhibits, which
will include the famous racing cars
that did such wonderful work in the
recent Vanderbilt race, will attract
as much attention as, if not more than,
any other feature of the show. If the
foreign section can be made as inter-
esting and attractive as the American
exhibits promise to be. the show will
undoubtedly surpass anything of it's
kind ever attempted.

MUST WE'D, ELSE NO FORTUNE.
Bachelor Uncle Makes Short stipula-
tion for His Nephew.

Findlay, O.-According to John r.
Lowery, of Toledo, he will soon. he
hopes, set out for Australia to take
possession of s2O,O0O,OO0 left to him
by an uncle.
Duncan Cameron. the uncle, was a
resident of that country and accumu-
lated his money in mines, bank
stocks and ships. He died at the age
of 80 years. He was member of
parliament and a man of influence ac-
,cordipg to the story. He never took
a wife and by the terms of the will
81, ,000, 900 is to be divided among the
servants.
One of the provisions of the will is
that bowery is to marry before he
receives the legacy. and for that rea-
son he will not consent to have his
picture published fearing an ava.
lanche of letters from many irrespon.
sfble women. He will marry as soon
as he finds a woman to his liking and
will then go to Australia to claim the
fortune. He says his wife must be
able to maintain the dignity his vast
wealth will bring.
Lowery was left an orphan at the
age of IL years and has been making
his own way since that time. For
years he has operated In the Michigan
mining country and owns several

ICE ouARRieD IN THE ALPS.
Swiss conmunes Make Money Ship.
ping Glaciers.

Washington.-Ice quarrying is
new industry that has sprung up in
Switzerland, according to a report re-
ceived here by the consular bureau.
While blasting Alpine glaciers threat
ems to destroy some of the magni-
ficence of the scenery. Swiss COM
munes are making money granting
concessions for quarrying these great
masses of ice for distribution in large
cities of the continent.
According to the information re-
ceived here, large sums have been ex-
pended constructing ice slides, or "
shaped troughs, in which blocks of ice.
often of large size, blasted out of the
glacier are transported to the vicini-
ty of the stations for conveyance, in
carefully refrigerated cars to Lyon,
and other large cities remote from
the Alps.
The method of blasting with black
powder SO as to avoid the dis
coloration and soiling of the ice,
and engineering ability displayed
in erecting slides and in pro-
viding sufficient friction by means of
curves to avoid excessive speed in
the downward journey of the ice
blocks. are spoken of as examples of
considerable ingenuity and skill.
Glacier ice, which is perfectly pure
and transparent, and which has many
qualities greatly appreciated by con.
sumers, commands a higher value
than that of the usual kind obtained
from the surface of frozen ponds or
lakes.
A singular feature in connection
with the preparation of the ice for the
market is that it has been found nee
essary to store it several days in spe-
cial warehouses, formed of double
thickness of boarding with stratum
of sawdust interposed. in order to re-
move a coating of frosted or non
transparent ice which tends to form

MOST ANCIENT APPLE TREES.
Planted by Spaniards in New Mexico,
They Have Borne Fruit 300 Years.

Ell Paso, Textile oldest apple
is in the center of the ancient town
of ManZano, IS miles southwest of
Estancia. Torrance county, New Mex
leo. Many of the trees are more than
six feet in circumference, but all are
still fruitful and vigorous although
neglected for generations. Little is
known of the history of this orchard,
but the oldest inhabitants of the val
ley OF the Rio Grande remember the
orchard from childhood and claim
that the trees have not changed in
appearance since then. Venerable
Mexicans and Pueblo Indians tell of
visiting the orchard as far back as
they can remember and finding apples
on the ground in all stages of decom-
position at least two feet deep.
The Estancia valley has been peo-
pied for ages. probably by the kins-
men of the natives found by the Span
ish explorers at Gran Quivra. Abo
and other ancient cities. Probably in
the early days of the Spanish occupa-
tion some Franciscan monk found his
way to Manzano and there planted the
seeds that have developed into these
venerable trees. They are no doubt
fully 300 years old.
Close by the orchard is little lake
fed by large spring. A short dis
tance away is grove of pines and
cedars. making an ideal place for
picnic and camping parties.

Long Sermons.

Mark Twain tells this story, the
moral of which you may supply your
self: Il went to church one time and
was so impressed by what the preach
er told me about the poor heather
that l was ready to give up hundred
dollars OF my own money and even go
out and borrow more to send to the
heather. But the minister preached
too long, and my enthusiasm began to
drop about $25 drop till there was
nothing left for the poor heather, and
by the time he was through and the
collection was taken up l stole ten
cents on the plate. e."-Southwestern's
