Blowing to San Diego From Dulzura-
 "Col." Johnson Is There.

Dulzura may be as promising min ing district as the San Diego papers say it is, and the Los Angeles papers may be all wrong in declaring it a fake, but it is "to laugh" to see the Union quoting Col" J. Lovick John son as lone of the best known mining engineers in the country" and giving columns of space to an interview with that genial dispenser of tropic atmos- phere.
 "Col." Johnson, after an exhaustive investigation lasting day or two, pro- nounces Dulzura the most extensive and richest gold bearing deposit in the world today. There is such a vol ume of tonnage in prospect it far eX- ceeds any district in the world"
 The enthusiastic colonel, not long ago, had "the richest placer ground in the world" about thirty miles from Mojave. He was going to get the mug gets out with a steam shovel, and demonetize gold.

YskeuLArlvE SCHEME.
smoot Land Bill Not Approved In
 California.

"I am glad that action to exclude California from the Shoot bill has been taken" said Gen. Frank c. Pres colt, Register of the government land office, in discussing the bill now pend ing before Congress to give homestead CTS the right to take up 320 acres of government land instead of 160 acres.
 The bill is about to be reported fay orably in the Senate by the public lands committee, but it has been held up temporarily by Senator Flint until he determines if it is not desirable to exclude California from it's provisions.
 The public land laws are sufficient ly liberal now" continued General Prescott. "In the Imperial Valley, for instance, some land is worth a thous- and dollars an acre and it would not be right to allow individuals to take up more than they can already. It is simply a speculative scheme to make the laws broader"

CANADIANS LOOKING AHEAD.
Five-Eighths of British Columbia In
 New Forest Reserves.

The opponents of the national for estry policy in the United States have laid special stress upon the streams of American home builders flowing across the line into Canada. They have dwelt tearfully upon the loss of national strength caused by cruel government, which, by forbidding it's citizens to make holmes on its wood lands, drives them to a more hos pitable foreign land. But now the government in British Columbia has put into forest reserves at one stroke hundred and fifty million acres-as much in that single Province as all the forest reserves of the United States put together The entire area of British Columbia is less than two hundred and forty million acres, so that the government has reserved in one block about five-eighths of all the land in the Province. Yet Senator Hepburn of Idaho walls piteously be- cause the United States government has put about two-ffths of the area of his State into National Forests.
 In British Columbia there are prac- tically no timber lands in the market The lumberman who wishes to cut trees must deal with the Government Lands not in the forest reserves may be leased, subject to royalty on all timber cut. It Is to be noted that the enlightened policy which gives the people the control of their own timber resources Is carried out by the local government of the Province itself. Un like some of our Western States, Brit ish Columbia does not hang back in sullen protest while salvation is forced upon her by distant national auth ority.-Collier's

Speak gently

The timid and shrinking
Candidates boom
That comes to your door,
Asking in a low voice
For a crumb
Of comfort.
1t may appear robust
And able to care for itself,
But appearances
Are sometimes deceitful.
That same boom.
Now so full of life,
And high sounding words,
That now looks
The picture of life
And hope,
May in few brief weeks
Be lying
Cold and still
And very much Debated.
Not every one
Who runs for office
Is able later on
To invite his wife's relation
To lunch with him.
Some booms
Do not last
More than minute
After the discerning voter
Has fastened his piercing lamps
On them.
Others lead the victim on
Like a fiirtatious lady,
Only to throw him down
And at the last moment
Whisper in his listening ear.

MUNICIPAL ELECTION
FIRST UNDER NEW CODE FOR NEXT
 MONDAY
A Full Vote Is Urged In Montsomery
 Although There Is Nc 0pposi- X tfon To The Ticket.

Montgomery is to have another cleo tion on Monday. September 2i. It will be the first election held under the new municipal code and at it the ticket selected at the May primary will be ratified.
 There will be one ticket in the field, that headed by Hon. Gaston Gunter for Mayor. The ticket will of course be selected by an overwhelming majority as there is no opposition to 1t. The municipal election Is general through out Alabama. That Is, in all cities which have adopted the new municipal code. the first election under 1t will be held Monday
 In Birmingham there Is an opposi- ton to Captain Frank F. OBrien. the Democratic nominee. There Is no doubt whatever of the election of Captain OBrien. But the Republicans. the h. dependence Leaguers and all other po- iltica1 hybrids will support another ticket.
 In Montgomery. however. there is nothing of this sort. Hon. Gaston Gunter and his associates on the ticket are without opposition. U It was at one time determined by the City Council that the voters of the city should on Monday at the municipal election endorse or reject the proposed issue of bonds for the purpose of building school houses and for other improvements. But because of the Councils failure to select campaign managers the bond issue can not be voted for at this time.

A KENTUCKY EXPERIENcE
Coffee and Tea still at Work,

Ky. lady had very agreeable experience. in leaving off coffee drink ing which she found harmful. and talk . ing on Postum. She never loses an opportunity to tell others of her good fortune. She says:
 For over twenty years I suffered from nervous trouble. Four years ago I was down with nervous prostrat ton and heart trouble. After several months of misery. my doctor. one of the best in the country. told me must quit coffee and tea.
 What was to dor I must have some warm beverage for breakfast as I had never done without one in my life.
 T decided to try Postum, little thinking 1t would amount to anything. At first did not like 1t. but when we boiled 1t Is minutes. until 1t was dark and rich. 1t was delicious, and soon began to feel better.
 After using Postum constantly three years. feel well and am in per feet health. And l give the credit to Postum.
 My entire family now use IL in pref erence to any other beverage at meals. I am an enthusiastic friend of Postum and I know that what 1t has done for me it will do for others. so I never let a chance go by to recommend 1t to those who suffer from coffee drink ing"
