The arrests were made by Sheriff

The officials are charged with taking
some wood that belonged to a Jap

along the right of way.
When the sheriff went to Schnd-
ler's house, the official notified his at
torney by telephone. In few min
utes almost every lawyer in Chico
was on the scene. They tried to argue
and demonstrate with Bailey, but he
was obdurate.

4 VICTIM OF TRADE.
Natures "Crsssy Oeean Pyramid"
Leased to a Quarry Firm.

Leased to Quarry FIRM.
Great indignation has been excited
by the story that the Marquis of Ailsa
has leased for the purpose Of quarry
ing its granite the noble rock known as
Ailsa crag. says the London News.
This stupendous crag. rising abrupt.
~ from the sea to height OF Lila
feet and having circumference of
nearly two miles. stands sentinel at the
entrance to the estuary of the Clyde,
almost cQnidiStant between the PENN
sula of Kintyre and the County of Ayr
and within sight of the Irish coast:
hence its sobriquet. Paddy's milestone.
The rock is an object of great nat
ural beauty and inspires feelings of
wonder ana admiration. The thought
of its demolition to make paving stones
raises bitter resentment among peo-
pie who are at present collecting $780,
900 to preserve the 'auld brig o Ayr
against the adaptations Of time, sim
ply because their beloved peasant poet
had endeared that structure in their
hearts. Ailsa crag, storm beaten by
the foaming pillows. has enlisted the
muse of Keats and Wordsworth, and
Daniel Defoe is among the many prose
writer's who have paid it homage.
Apart from it's recognition as ma
lures ''craggy ocean pyramid as
Keats called il, the rock is of great
strategic Importance. 1t is the Gibral-
tar of the Clyde. Although unprotect-
ed, the rock commands the waterway
that leads to Greenock and Glasgow
1t has besides great geological and his
torical value. Scientists say it is Of
volcanic orgin-thrown up from the
bed of Il crater like Berwick. Low and
Edinburgh castle rock. Many basalt
! columns, four, five and six sided, re-
semblng those seen at the Giants
| Causeway and the island of Staffa. are
also found there, and there are besides
| several interesting caves.
Above the lighthouse on Tie eastern
side there stand the ruins of an old
castle. and the ruins of an old church
and burying ground are known to have
| existed near by. The castle is said to
| have been the property of early monks.
| Quarrying operations 10 the extent Of
the material for 1000 pairs Of curling
stones have been permitted at the rock
| for number Of years, but the whole
sale deprivation Of the granite, Of
which it is largely composed, Is excit-
Ing stern opposition.
