FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Some Figures Gathered From Liquor
Sale Records at Prosecutors
Office.

November was the sixth month of
/ local option in Gratiot county. 1t is
interesting to compare the figures of
sales made In that month in the drug
stores throughout the county. These
figures furnish some food for thought.
The total sales in the county were 6546,
practically one sale to every male voter
in Gratiot county. -
Ithaca, the county seat leads all in
total sales. The three Ithaca druggists
made 1894 registered liquor sales in the
month of November This was "a more
than were made in Alma and st. Louis
combined. The sales in these two cities
combined only totaled 1904. Compared
with the sales of the county there were
made at Ithaca only 554 less sales than
were made in Breckenridge, Wheeler,
Bannister Middleton, Ashley, River
dale, Pompeii and Pennington combined.
st. Louis alone has 9l0 sales and Alma
694 One st. Louis druggist made only
g. sales during the month. Earl
Sranard of this city stands next with
135 The list of sales for all drug stores
in the county is as follows:
Ithaca, 1894; ST. Louis, 90; Alma,
694; Breckenridge, 1856; Bannister, 400;
Riverdsle. 265; Middleton, 247; Ashley,
219; Pompeii, 2l3; Pennington, 1863;
Wheeler. l54.
The Alma druggists made the follow
ing sales: Sharrar, $40; Rhodes, 24O;
Stanard, 1876.
Druggist Watson of Ithaca, alone
made 20 more sales than the three Alma
druggists. His sales for the month of
November were $50. an excess of rs
over the total Alma sales.-Alms

of Angelenos visited the Crescent bay
beaches, seeking relief after one of the
hottest weeks in the history of South
ern California. A welcome sea breeze
cooled the land all day, and the
beaches were crowded with bathers

their way on the bouleVards and
through the speedway, while many
others were parked on Windward ave-

According to F. K. McCawer of the
Abbot Kinney company, the present
season is the most successful ever ex-

ments and special celebrations being
the means of bringing the number of
visitors into the hundreds of thou

SHEEP USED TO
RESEED RANGE
FOUND BEST FOR PLANTING
MOUNTAIN GRASS
FOREST SERVICE CARRIES ON
NOVEL EXPERIME ENTS
Denser and More Drouth Resistant
Stand Secured Where Animals
Are Allowed on Area
After Sowing

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19-Stockmen
throughout the west will be gratified
to learn that Uncle Sam is studying
means for using sheep to regenerate
overgrazed ranges. Unique experiments
now being conducted by the United
States forest service at the experiment
station within the Wallowa National
forest in northeastern Oregon demon
strate that the grazing of sheep under
proper restrictions is an important
factor in the work of reseeding over
grazed ranges.
The problem being studied Is that of
restoring to depleted ranges their
original covering of mountain bunch
grass the scientific name Of which is
festuca yiridula. This grass is one of
the most important of the summer for
age plants in the higher ranges of the
northwest and its rapid disappearance
from the ranges by reason of over
stocking could only be regarded as a
direct economic loss to the stockmen.
Special attention has therefore been
given to the restoration Of the grass
by the plant ecologist of the forest
service, and his latest report shows that
a thorough reseeding has been secured
upon the areas to which a protective
grazing system has been applied.
In the initial stages three different
methods of reseeding were used. On
one area the seed was allowed to drop
to the ground without treatment. The
seed was brushed in with brush drag
or harrow on the second tract, and on
the third band of sheep was. passed
over the area in compact body twice.
Natural Means Best
This summer it has been found the
area not treated has the lightest stand
of seedlings, while the resulting seed
ling stand on the other two areas
showed but little variation in density,
but later, during the period of drought,
the seedlings on the area brushed over
died out badly, while on the area on
which the sheep narrowed in the seed
there was very little loss.
Closer examination developed the fact
that the root systems of the seed which
had been tramped in were one-half to
one inch deeper in the soil than the
root systems of the seed which had
been brushed in, this condition being
due to the fact that the seed was
ground into the soil more deeply by the
sheep than by the brush harrow.
So far as the investigation has been
carried it indicates that a denser and
more drought resistant stand of bunch
grass can be secured where the sheep
are allowed on an area after the
plants have seeded and dropped the
seed than where they are excluded
throughout the entire season. This dis
covery is confirmation of the prac-
ticability of the plan to use ranges
during alternate spring and fall periods
so that a thorough reseeding may be
secured by natural means.

SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 19.-The
protests of leading merchants of the
city against the freight rates in ef-
feet between Los Angeles and San
Bernardino has led the Merchants as
sociation to appoint a committee in
Guiding the most influential and large

James Russell, w. G. Mullen, w. G..

The chamber of commerce may take
some action in the matter, although
that body has previously declined to
take up the case. despite the fact the
rate between the two cities is such
that local merchants are forced to
pay from 20 to SO 1-3 per cent more
on charges for freight from the east

Pioneer of San Bernardino Claimed
to Have Prepared Cyanide Long
Time Ago-He Swallowed
Poison Saturday Night

SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 19.-For
thirteen years George Craig, the
pioneer locksmith and assayer who
committed suicide here last night, is
said to have contemplated taking his
life, and during that time had kept a
cial of cyanide secreted, awaiting an
opportune time.
1t is said he prepared the deadly
poison thirteen years ago with the
avowed intention of ending his life with
it some day, and although the cyanide
had deteriorated during the years he
had it hid away it was of sufficient
strength to accomplish its purpose,
Craig dying within few minutes after
he had taken the fatal draught
For days his relatives realized he was
seriously contemplating taking his life,
and although his every move was
watched he finally eluded their watch
full eyes, and taking the poison from its
hiding place spread a number Of quilts
with a pillow at one end, and lying
down drank the contents of the vial.
As his brother. Charles Craig, entered
the home a second later he exclaimed:

GOLD DISCOVERY TIES UP
CONSTRUCTION OF TRACK

ST. PETERBURG, Sept. ia sue
cession of discoveries of gold along
the track of the projected Amur rail-
road has demoralized the labor market
in the trans Baikal province. The
western section of the railway passes
through an uninhabited tract where
there is no vegetation, but the clear
ance gangs have found frequent gold
deposits near the surface and several
big nuggets.
The gold fever has infected the con-
tract labor, and only those who have
spent their findings will return to work.
Some men have picked up a thousand
roubles' worth of gold in a week.
