SOMETHING ABOUT MAGDALENA BAY
AND SIGHTS FOR UNCLE SANS TARS

brethren of Lower California, they live
largely by hunting and fishing. and
pay little attention to agricultural
pursuits. Their original weapon was
the bow, which they still handle with
great proficiency but in the last de-
cade or two a number Of old rifles
have fallen into their hands, and upon
these they now place most OF their de-
pendence in hunting. They are poor
shots. but wonderful stalkers, and an
Indian with ammunition never goes
hungry.
Water fowl of many varieties are
very numerous about the bay, and the
duck shooting along the shore is no
whit inferior to the quail shooting 10
miles inland. Pelican shooting also
affords no little sport, besides furnish
ing the Officers with most unique SOU
venirs In the form of robes made by
sewing together the skin of the breasts
of number of these great birds. The
pelican is one of the most tenaciously
feathered birds known to natural his
tory. and one of these robes, besides
being very beautiful, is practically in
destructible in the course of ordinary
wear. They may be bought from the
Indians, but as those so obtained are
Invariably filthy beyond description,
there is practically no other course
open for the would-be possessor but
to kill his own birds. AS 1t is rarely
possible to approach a flock of .peli-
cans close enough for a shotgun to be
used effectively. they must be killed |
one by one with rifle, a feat which |
requires no little skill with that wea-
pom. A prime pelican robe is worth |
from 500 to 5000, according to Its
size, the value being usually comput'
ed at the rate of about a dollar a skin.

CouRsrNG TRACK FOR BOISE.
Sportsmen Are Planning Novel Fea-
ture i'm Amusements.

Boise sportsmen may soon have an
opportunity to see something real
along the line of sports If the present
plans of H. L. Nutting meet with ap-
proyal by local enthusiasts, says the
Boise Capital News. Mr.. Nutting
proposes to establish a cOursing meet
i'm one of the local parks, probably
that of Riverside, in which the fast
hounds of this city and the northwest
will have a chance to enter races ana
carry off big money,
For some time past Mr.. Nutting has
been working to perfect a new motor
which would be suitable TO work un-
der ground on a race course. He pro-
poses to secure the privilege of one
of the Boise parks and In II TO lay
a temporary race track in which he
will use the motor.
The track will be from a quarter
to a half mile round and in the cen'
ter Of this he will have a small rail-
road track buried with just an inch
of space over the top somewhat on
the plan of a cable car track.
The motor will therefore run un-
derground around the course and on
the top of the motor will be attached
a sharp needle or spike which will
travel above ground around the slit
in the track. On this spike will be
fastened a real rabbit, the animal be-
ing frozen stiff in the form OF what
live running rabbit would be. This
is the object that the fast dogs are
to race after about the track, the
winner taking the purse offered fer
the race.
The race track will be shut in by
high wire fences, thus keeping the
hounds from prosecuting after the
rabbit. The motor can be started at
any point along the track, but the
general plan is to start it before a
grand stand containing the spectators
at one end of the track and let it
pass the dogs which are being held
waiting to make the start. When
the frozen rabbit on his spiked pass
them they all start at once and the
race is on. Should a hound catch up
with the rabbit he can pick it off the
spike without injury to himself.

PRODUCE HONEY
Over 1000 Hives of Bees I'm the Walla
Walla River Valley-New Flowers
Offer Inducements for Early Spring
Work-Production Amounts 90
From 81 TO $12 Per Hlve-Alfalfa
and Orchards Furnish Immense
Supply OF Bloom.

A correspondent at Freewater
writes as follows Of the development
of the bee industry in that district:
About 1000 hives of bees have just
gotten busy for a summers work, the
little fellows now being found in the
buttercups and other early flowers in
great numbers. In the section OF
oregon surrounding Freewater 1t is
estimated that fully 1000 hives are
kept, and this year the number will
be considerably increased.
One of the largest bee raisers is C.
G. Rogers, who lives two miles from
Freewater. He has 125 stands, and
this year will increase the number
nearly one-half. Last year his bees
ranged in production OF honey from
81 to $12 hive, many OF the strong
colonies making fully the latter
amount Of sweetness Around Mr..
Rogers farm are a number Of other
farmers who make bees part of their
stock in trade, and thousands of dol
lars worth of honey is sent out every
year.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-03-14
Took Many Prizes.

FreeWater claims the distinction of
having captured all of the prizes Of
fered by the Lewis and Clark expo
sition at Portland, three prizes, gold,
silver and bronze medals, being
awarded this section. Mr.. RAIDER, re-
siding a few miles from town, Sc
cured the gold medal, while to Mr..
Rogers was awarded the bronze. The
silver medal came to a man residing
a few miles south of town.
Honey put up here bears the brand
of the owner of the bees, as a guar
anty of Its purity. Each package
bears the information that the pro-
duct is made at and sent from this
place. In this way the California
product has almost been driven fron
the field in Walla Walla, Pendleton
and other places. Large quantities
are sent to Portland and Seattle.
Thrive on Alfalfa.
Bees thrive splendidly on alfalfa
fields and orchards, and this valley
is almost solidly planted to these two
crops. In addition plenty Of water
must be supplied the little workers.
This is found In the irrigation ditch
es, which are found all over the little
farms, along the highways, and prac-
tically everywhere Only within the
past few years has the bee industry
been developed to any great extent,
and then In the face Of the strongest
competition from the old bee districts
Of California.

might have become the Hon. Stokes
Jackson, Consul General 10 Paris.
During IL of the last Is years that
position has been held by a Hoosier,
and it has become the custom of the
newspaper writer's throughout Indiana
to predict that the chairman of the
republican or democratic committee
would be appointed to it. This has
been done in spite of the fact that the
French of the average Hoosier politi-
clan is as bad az 1t could possibly be
made. With the Paris consulate out

himself a receptive candidate for the
United States Senate and more may
be heard of his embryo boom within
the next month.

VaudeviIie-New Phillips,

Two legitimate actors, two who
made successes in that line of theatre
calls will be at the New Phillips this
week, and should add class and tone
that vaudeville production rarely
gets. They are Mildred Williams. in

pany presents that sketch and George
Shorty Edwards, former comedian of
the Simple Simon company.
Miss Williams was the leading lady
of the Adamless Eden company and
proves bigger hit in her present pre-
sentation than ever before. Her fea-
ture is the appearance as THE HUI
man Ocarino.''
George Shorty Edwards has few
equals as comedian. In the role of
monologuist he finds his real place.

here Is about to make another trip
incognito to the United States in the
hope of strengthening the tangled
skein of his love afafir with Miss
Katherine Elkins.
His proposed trip of exploration. ac-
cording to this rumor, is merely a
cloak to conceal his proposed visit to
America.
The report is emphatically denied
by the dukes friends. These admit,
however that the duke is as deeply in
love with Miss Elkins as ever and
still hopes to make her his wife.

May Irwin.

Charles Frohman will present Am
erica's foremost Coincidence, Miss
May Irwin, at the .Gennett theater on
Dec. Is in The Mollusc", the brilliant
comedy in three acts by Herbert
Henry Davies and Mrs. Peckham s
Carouse," the best farce that George
AIDE has ever written. Seats will be
on sale on Dec. II. 1t would be well
to make early reservations. This big
double bill affords Miss Irwin the best
opportunities of her career for her
inimitable style of fun making Both
plays were the conspicuous laughing
hits of the season at the Garrick the
alter in New York The Mollusc" is
by the author of Cousin Kate" in
which Miss Ethel Barrymore is so
pleasantly remembered, and was pro-
duced in London by Sir Wyndham's
company three seasons ago. 1t is run
ming there yet. Mrs. Peckham's Ca
rouse" the George AIDE farce was
written especially for Miss Irwin by
Mr.. AIDE and is his wittieSt contribu-
ton TO stage literature. A double bill
of this character with Miss Irwin in
the stellar roles is easily the notable
theatrical event of the season and one
which theatergoers can scarcely af-
ford to miss.
