GREAT MEXICAN RANcHMAN.
Vast Landed Estate of Gen. Luis Ter
razas Employs 10000 Men.


Gen. Luis Terrazas is Mexico's
wealthiest man. Gen. Terrazas is 70
years old-the same age as President
Diaz. The lives of both men have
been full Of stirring adventure. 1t was
In reward for daring military service
that Gen. Terrazas obtained from the
government large gifts Of land which
placed him upon the road to the great
fortune which he now possesses.
1t Is conservatively estimated that
Gen. Terrazas is worth not less than
s200, 100000. His property holdings
are chiefly in the state of Chihuahua,
but he also has large investments In
other parts Of the republic.
Gen. Terrazas is the greatest land
and live stock baron in the world, 1t
Is said. He owns fifteen ranches in
the state of Chihuahua The ranches
embrace an aggregate area Of more
than 100000 acres. For many years
special attention has been given to
raising horses upon these ranches.
More than 100000 head of horses
are grazing upon the Terrazas land.
The mule supply for most Of Mexi-
co comes from the Terrazas ranches.
These animals now number more than
100000 head and are scattered
over the different properties. Gen.
Terrazass cattle holdings number
more than 100000 head. Several
hundred thousand head of goats and
sheep Craze upon his land. 1t is said
that the choicest grass lands in north
ern Mexico are embraced in the Ter
razas estate. Streams Of running wa
ter pass through them and the grass
grows luxuriantly the greater part of
the year.
Some idea of the vastness Of these
landed possessions may be had when
1t is known that more than 10000
men are kept constantly employed
looking after the live stock. The SER
vices Of 1000 men are required to
ride the fences" 1t Is the duty Of
these fence riders to see that the wires
are kept intact so that the live stock
cannot escape from the pastures. Many
thousand miles Of wire were used in
constructing the boundary fences.
More than a score of towns, some Of
them Of considerable size, are upon
the ranches.-Kansas City Star.

A TRAVELLERS TROUBLES.
The Little Japanese Bridge and the
Racing Automobile.

Racing Aucomooue.
This was practically the first Of the
Japanese bridges we had seen, says
George MacAdam in Across Japan
in a Motor Car" in Outing. The au-
tomobile was stopped and we investi-
gated. A single man, jumping upon
the bridge, proved it as springy as the
most-sung mattress in the advertising
pages of Americas magazines. TO
have run even the front wheels Of the
machine upon 1t would have meant
dropping them through into the stream
below. One little bridge that could
not be crossed: result-a 20-mile de-
tour through back country roads.
And let no one forget that a 2O-mile
detour in an automobile is one thing
in the United States, another thing In
Japan.
While we had been inspecting the
bridge, traffic had piled up before and
behind the automobile which COM
pletely filled the road. All the carts
that were behind us had to back up
while our car was backed to a cross
road; there the oncoming traffic was
allowed to pass by, and then we once
more got under way.
Bridges followed each other now

GRoG TIME.
An important Function in the Daily
Routine on British Man. of-War.

One of the important func-
tions in the daily life Of the British
bluejacket, is grog time. Grog is
composed Of rum and water and Is
served daily to the bluejackets on all
British warships. Dutchmen and
Germans have their beer, Frenchmen
and Italians their wine, but the Brit
ish "handyman" gets grog, the same
as his forefather in the days Of Nell
son. The grog barrel is generally
very elaborate affair." embellished with
notices, "God Save the King" being
most in favor. To be deprived Of
grog is one Of the punishments meted
out for serious breaches Of discipline
and one that is keenly felt by the cul-
prit.
Bluejackets who do not indulge in
spirituous beverages are allowed a
small amount of money in lieu Of
grog, but abstaining from grog for
several days in order to draw a large
quantity with Incorporate motives Is
made impossible by the regulation
that grog must be drawn daily and
that no more than a daily ration may
be served at any time.
Grog was served in the American
navy in the days preceding the civil
war, and while its re-establishment has
seldom been urged, prominent admir-
ais have Of late recommended that the
canteen be allowed to sell non-spiri-
tuous liquors in moderate quantities.
This would tend to promote temper
ance rather than otherwise, as sailors
who use stimulants and are constrain-
ed to total abstinence for long time
are more than likely to indulge i'm
moderately as soon as they set foot on
shore. Whatever arguments may be
advanced pro and con, however, grog
time is certainly the most picturesque
function in the daily routine of a
British warship and one that a stran-
ger will keenly enjoy upon first sight

PALMS MOVED 500 MILES.
Trees Weighing 1s Tons Taken From
San Francisco to Los Robles.

San Francisco TO Los hopleS.
A difficult undertaking and one
which required the work Of nearly six
men for two weeks was recently ac-
complished in California, when two
thirty-foot palms were moved from the
abandoned residence Of H. E.. Hunt
ington, on the top Of Mob Hill, San
Francisco, and transported distance
of 500 miles to his new residence at
Los Robles, near San Gabriel, Cal.
Palm moving is q common occur
renee in California, but it is not likely
that any have ever been moved so
great a distance with 80 much success,
says the Chicago Evening Post. Each
palm when boxed weighed eighteen
tons, and a string Of ten horses was
required in order to transport the
palms to the railway station, a dis
tance Of two miles, through some OF
the busiest streets in San Francisco.
The palms figured were also Of more
than ordinary interest to the citizens
Of San Francisco, having stood there
for more than twenty years. In addi-
ton to this fact, they might be class
ed as most interesting relics Of the
earthquake-fi fire of 1906, at which time
Mr.. Huntington's magnificent resi-
dence was Destroyed, along with ev-
erything in that district.
The fire stripped the palms COM
pletely of their foliage, leaving only
the bare and blackened stems. Since
that time in the course of three years
fresh growth has been made by them,
new, well-developed crowns have ap-
peared, and they bid fair to become
two of the most interesting objects on
the Huntington estate.

with a more than desirable rapidity

with a more than desirable rapidity.
The native carts can be turned so
easily on their two wheels that the
bridges, for the sake Of economy In
construction, always cross streams by
the shortest line, no matter what the
resulting road angle may be. How
this facilitated automobile travel, when
both roads and bridges are just wide
enough to let the machine pass over
them, can easily be imagined.

THE "REGENT."
A Diamond That Restored the Fortune
of the House of Pitt.

A Diamond That Restored the Fortune
Of the House of Pitt.
Men have never collected great
crystals for personal adornment.
Even that "fribble in lace and span
gles," the rival Of Beau Brummel and
afterward George Nv. of England
even he sought them simply for some
Perdita he was pursuing.
Louis XIV, lie grand monarque,
purchased twenty-five large diamonds,
mostly for La Valliere, Montespan,
Fontanges, Maintenon. Among them
was the wondrous Pitt" A slave in
India found it. Having found it, his
heart shouted for liberty. Cutting the
calf Of his leg in order to hide the
diamond within the slit, he limped
to the coast. To an English ship cap
tain he offered 1t for passage to any
country where men were free.
The captain, quite casually and with
nice humor, took the gem and threw
the slave into the sea.
The guerdon Of such jesting release
from servitude was sold to a dealer
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1909-12-03

for $4,000 and through him reached
Sir Robert Pitt, governor Of Fort St.
George, for 100000, who shipped it
home to England to be faceted.
A Scotch f1nancier, John Law, then
doing business in France, negotiated
for a fee of $4,000 for the sale Of the
diamond to the regent (afterward
Louis XIV at $775,000.
1t Is pleasant to remember that
thereby the fortunes Of the house Of
Pitt were restored and that the SELL
er's son, William Pitt, and his grand
son, the Earl of Chatham, were as
sisted to high place in the service by
opportunities made possible through
the profit on the diamond for which
a poor slave, seeking freedom, was
thrown into the sea.-Everybody's

TO MAKE TEST
OF OIL ON THE
CITY STREET
QUANTITY HAS BEEN ORDERED
AND UPON ARRIVAL WILL BE
GIVEN THOROUGH TRY-oUT ON
STRETCH OF STREET WHICH
HAS BEEN AGREED UPON.

City officials connected with the
public works, and which will include
the engineer and street superintend-
ent, are looking forward with much
interest to the arrival of a quantity OF
oil which has been ordered for use in
spTinkling streets. A stretch, pos
sihIy one hundred yards in length
and from fifteen to twenty feet wide,
Will be given the first practical test.
The stretch is on North Palafox
street considerably beyond the thick
ly settled section The road there
has been built Of cinders from the
GoUlding plants, and the belief is ex-
pressed that the oil, spTinkled lightly
over such a surface, will prove effect
i've for weeks afterward. Should this
prove true, the first experiment will
be followed by a determination to
make more practical use Of the pro-
duct over a larger stretch OF street
and in different parts Of the city. A
temporary sprinkler will be used for
the first experiment, but should salts
factory results be obtained, an up-to-
date oil sprinkler may be ordered.
This subject has been thoroughly
discussed in several sessions of the
board Of works with the result that a
real road test was decided upon.

H. MONK GETS
CONTRACT FOR
BIG SEA WALL
WAS LOWEST BIDDER FOR CON-
STRUGGLING 1900 FEET OF 49,
FOOT WALL AT FORT MRAE TO
PROTECT THE BATTERIES
THERE-HIs BID WAS $72,7os.

Henry Monk, Of this city, was the
lowest bidder for the construction OF
an immense sea wall at Fort McRae
TO protect the batteries at that place,
He received this information last
phone from Montgomery, where the
proposals were opened Friday in the
Office Of the engineer in charge of
work done here.
The work to be done consists in
erecting a thirteen foot wall 1900
fest in length on the gulf side, which
will afford protection TO the two bat
terieS at that point. This will, it is
estimated, break any seas that may
be experienced in storms Of the flu
ture. In the big storm of 1906 the
batteries at AIcRae suffered consider
ably, as well as those stationed al
the fort at that time, two or three
being drowned. 1t is to protect the
property as well as lives from storms
of this kind in the future that the
wall is to be constructed.
Mr. Monks bid was S72, 7OS. Other
bids were submitted as follows: R.
c. Storrie. S73,4OS; Brewer & Jones,
Of Birmingham. sS6,5S6; s. P. Thomp-
son, of Birmin CHAM, S76,S6S, while
several others we're received which
were over 100000.
Mr.. Monk will begin preparing TO
place material on the ground at once,
and will begin work on the wall in
about thirty days. He estimated he
will have it completed in eight
months.
