TRY EASTERN TREES
ON PACIFIC COAST
INTERESTING EXPERIMENT WITH
HARDWOODS TO BE TESTED
IN CALIFORNIA.
Government Will Plant Small Patches
of Eastwood, Red Oak, Hickory,
Etc, for Experiments.

WASHINGTON, May 21.-The Pa
cific coast will soon be the scene of
an interesting tree growing expert
ment. The United States forest SER
vice is planning to introduce a num-
Der of the more important eastern
hardWOOds into California, and will
this year experiment with chestnut,
hickory, Eastwood, red oak, and yell
low poplar or tulip trees. Small patch
es of these trees will be planted near
the forest rangers cabins on the ma
tional forests, and if these do we'll
larger plantations on a commercial
scale will soon be established on wider
areas.
There are over 125 different species
of trees in California, a number Of
which produce some of the most valu-
able varieties of lumber in the cOun-
try. Although considerably over one
half of the species are hardwood or
brOad-leaved trees, yet, with the eXcep-
ton of the exotic eucalyptus, there is
not a single species of hardwood here
ranking in commercial importance
with the leading eastern hardwoods.
Climatic conditions in many parts Of
California are undoubtedly favorable
for the growth of number of the val
liable hardwoods, and the absence of
these trees is due mostly to unfavor-
able factors of seed distribution.
If the experiments are successful
valuable asset will have been added to
the forest resources of this state,
which should prove of special benefit
to the local furniture and vehicle in
dustries. Chestnut and red oak are
highly esteemed for furniture, While
with hickory, Eastwood, and eucalyp-
tus at its command, California should
lead all other states in the vehicle
industry.

PAINTING
To Be EXHIBITED
NEGOTIATIONS TO SECURE "SHA-
DOW OF THE CROSS" ARE
SUCCESSFUL.
Probably the Most Discussed Work
Ever Produced by Artist. Known
as Miracle Painting.

SEATTLE, May 21.-(SpeciaD-Af-
ter several weeks of delicate negotia-
ton, the directors of the Swedish
building and exhibits at the Alaska
Yukon-P Pacific exposition have sue
ceeded in gaining from DR.. w. l..
Wright, of Washington City, the privi-
lege of exhibiting Henry Hammond
Ahls miracle painting, THE Shadow
Of the Cross"
The Shadow of the Cross is prob
ably the most discussed work ever pro-
duced by an artist, not because the
artist intended that it should. be but
because of conditions over which he
had no control and which, down to
date, neither clergymen nor chemist
has been able to account for
The picture is of the Christ. Viewed
in the full light it is splendid, but
no unusual type. With the lights
turned off and in utter darkness, the
in the background there emanates a
vivid glow that throws out the figure
the head there appears luminous halo
and athwart the whole picture and be-
hind the figure falls the shadow of the
cross.
,Ahl, the artist, did not discover the
marvels of his work until it was nearly
finished. He had begun a conception
of the Christ at the earnest behest of
a close friend who was a biblical lee
turer He worked on it for awhile, but
felt that he was not realizing his ideal,
or that of his friend, so ne gave it up.
One day, while dining the idea that
he had sought to grasp but failed, came
to him in a flash and arising he hurried
to his studio and took up the work
upon his picture.
When it was near completion he had
occasion to go one night to his studio.
He entered in darkness and was as
founded to encounter a strange light
which, upon close inspection, proved
to be an emanation from the picture
upon which he was at work.
Before him was a shadowy form of
the Christ he was painting, but against
a background CT changing light and
with a magnificent aura which he had
never painted. AthWart it all was the
shadow of the cross and this too, he
had not intended.
Ali worked not another day upon his
picture. He was of a deeply religious
nature and his unintentional results
impressed him so strongly that he
would not again put brush to the can
vas, but left the picture in the uncom-
pleted state.
Later it went into the hands of DR..
Wright, also a man of deep religious
feeling, and ne has sent it about the
country at various times for exhibition
for the benefit of religious or semi
religious organizations.
No one has been able to account for
the effects which the artist did not
paint Chemists have tried, by analys-
is, to find some luminous quality in
the paint, but have found only the or
binary pigments. 1t has been the cause
of contentious of much heat between
theologians but it is today as much a
miracle unsOlved, as it was on the
night the artist came upon it in his
studio.

WHAT THEY WEAR in NEW YORK
MADAME cATHERYN MANN PAYZANT.

NEW YORK, May 21.-In spite of the
fact that linen has been worn so many
seasons. there seems to be no abate-
ment of the favor shown towards it.
Moreover, as if comes in many weights
from a very fine sheer variety suita-
BILE to the dressiest costumes to those
heavier sorts used for walking skirts
and coats, it is one Of the most used
materials for summer gowns.
The first linen suits, which were
were made upon the plainest lines
long close fieeting sleeves, extremely
scant skirts and only a slight sugges-
ton of the Empire at the Waistline.
The gown really looks as though the
ways an absolute absence of any gath

any frills, for the linen frock of the

heavy embroidery or braiding for it's
establishment Heavy linen and en-
broidery of the eyelet variety COM
bine to form handsome frocks made
in princess style with a panel yoke
and part sleeves of the embroidery.
For street wear the short skirt after
all is voted quite SNARE and if worn
for business or for morning wear is
the correct thing.
Considering the dressy appearance
of these goods, some very beautiful
effects are to be found at most reason
able rates. A beautifully meshed and
striped linen was sold recently at
"a cents a yard, and the linen fabrics
are to be found in all the fashionable
shades, some of which have fine pin
stripes set an inch or half an inch
apart. Manly OIL CHeSe cOlOreu linens are
finished in hand embroidery; even the
home dressmaker could do a large fig
ured pattern on the revers, cuffs, vest
or panel. A heavy linen floss that fills

while others have small self-cOlored
figures. There is pretty brown with
a quarter inch stripe of a lighter shade
while a dull pink linen having a figure
in it is used for the cuffs, collar and
revers and outlines the front panel on
the skirt. There are certG.n shades
of pink and old rose that combine in a
most harmonious way The suede
dress, the gloves and bag are in brown
suede and the brown hat may have

be of old rose also.
For early summer While coats are

more expensive fabrics. One linen

cream colored yoke finished with
sleeveless coat of heavy linen lace

practically no warmth an extra dressy

So far we have spoken generally of
those heavier linens intended for
street and travelling and general wear,
but great many linens come, fine and
soft and silky in appearance that make
beautiful house and afternoon cos
tunes.
fects are seen and a new idea is pale
gray and black.
One of the newest tAings in the
way of cotton dress fabrics is a heavy
crash which has the advantage of not
Wrinkling. They are rather heavier
than the regular linens, which means
extra warmth and somewhat limits
their suitability for all times, but for
the present days they are particularly
suitable for the house dress as they
come in a variety of cOlors as well
as the natural tint
a model adapted for a house dress
made from the crash is easy of con-
struction, being made on the old
model of the gored skirt with a high
waistline and joined to an ordinary
shirtwaist having a plat over the
shoulders. The waistline is higher in
the back than in the front and the
dress opens down the front from
yoke to hem. The neck is cut low,
the sleeves are long and close fitting,
being set plainly, without gathers,
into the armhole. At the wrist was

Garrison, April 3.-There is consid
cradle interest here in roll of money
which no one seems willing to claim,
owing to the damaging character OF
circumst ances evidently surrounding its
loss.
One day last week, while Miss Beu-
lah Crossley was passing between the
house and meat house, at her home,
south of town, she discovered the bunch
of bills at one side of the path, and up
to this time the owner of the money
has not been found. The day previous
to the find, Mr. Crossley butchered a
hog. which was hanging in the meat
house, and it is supposed the loser of
the money was looking for some fresh
pork For some reason, however, he
didn't get his meat. but lost his roll"
which would pay for more meat than
he could carry.
Mr. Crossley says the owner can
have the money if they will come after
it. prove the amount and satisfactorily
explain how 1t came to be in his yard.
Only last fall. four live hogs We're stolen
from Mr. Crossley's herd. About the
same time Lee Clark lost eight head,
and not long since J.. w. Antilles had
three hogs and a calf stolen from his
pasture 1t is only a question of time
until some of the thieves get caught
with cold lead.

Boone, April 3.--To have long lost

to Nebraska, then later to California.
All track of each other was lost by the

each one thought the other dead.
In the meantime John had moved out
to Iowa, and any means of finding out
about his brother seemed useless, until
he wrote to the pension office at Wash
ington, asking if they had any record
of him there. His postoffce address
was sent the people here, and they inn
mediately wrote to the postmaster at
Napa. and he turned the letter over
to William Moore, who answered 1t.
Then without any word of warning, he
made the trip east to see his brother,
and together they are planning TO
make the same kind of a surprise visit
