DENCE STREETS
PEOPLE OF F AND ALSO KING
STREET WANT REGRADE
RK-RESOLUTION ON WE.
NATCHEE Regarding.

A meeting of the city council was
| held last night for the transaction OF
business. The improvement of the
residence districts of the city came in
for long inning. A petition was

while the quarry would mix with the
other cattle in the pen. On such oc-
casions the men on horseback must
move with lightninglike rapidity in or
der that neither of the horses should be
gored. The men on the ground also had
to be on their guard against a sudden
move on the part of the herd. Every
body was on the move. Yet nothing
seemed hurried. Everybody knew his
business and attended to it strictly. We
did not care to leave. but our schedule
called for camp in Tehipiti,valley that
night
So when we had stayed as long as we
dared we started to travel again at a
rapid rate. The descent into Tehipiti
valley is journey which I shall never
forget. The trail descends 5000 feet
while covering distance of one mile

by section lines. OF course the trail is
zigzag. SO that 1t covers three or four
miles In actual travel. but the map
would indicate only one mile. This is
frankly acknowledged to be one of the
most difficult trails in all of the Sierra
Nevada mountains. There are more
dried bones Of horses which have gone
over the grade on this trail than on any
OF the other trails which we traversed,
or on all of them.
Our first thought was for Skoozicks.
Never before had we considered what
serious predicament his loss would en-
tail Skoozicks, however, had no
thought for his own safety. Before we
could realize 1t we found him walking
on the outer edge Of the trail and pay
ing about as little attention to the path
as If he had a landing net ready to
catch him when he should slip. Pal

the way easy for myself as I had done
on that previous occasion to which
am not inclined to refer with pride. I

How Cattle Are Branded

The branding pen was an tnolosure
about 20 yards in diameter 1t was
made of heavy poles piled in the old
stake and rider fashion. About so
cattle were driven in through gap in
the fence and then shut in by placing
bars across the entrance. Once Inside,
two of the cattlemen on horseback
would separate a yearling from the
rest of the herd and cut him out" as
they call it. One of them would then
lasso him by the horns and the other
by a hind foot. BY backing up the
horses on which they were riding in
opposite directions they soon had the
animal in a very unsteady position on
its feet At this time the two men on
the ground would rush in and upset the
beast Once down the ropes prevented
him from rising.
AS soon as the "critter" had been
thrown the two men on the ground i'm
mediately got busy. One OF them at
tended to the marking. With the aid
of a remarkably sharp knife he whit
tied the ears of the animal into one of
the queer shapes to be found every
where in the cattle regions In the
meantime the other man had procured
been built conveniently Just outside of
the fence. The smoking iron was car
ried on the run to where the animal
lay While still helpless and unable to
rise the hot iron was pressed firmly
against the flank, leaving the mark OF
the owner indelibly stamped In the
flesh. For those OF the calves and
yearlings who were old enough to be
weaned the additional operation of
.'blabbing'' was performed. The blab
consisted of a fat piece of tin which

steering him round the dangerous turns

streets.

He did try to roll, and once down we
had time of 1t to get him on his feet
again. We were ready to start by
o'clock and quickly covered the last
stretch of level road which brought US
to the beginning of the mountain traii.
This was to be our highway for the
remainder of our tour.

respects 10 the owner of the camp,
Mr.. Chamberlain. So we turned aside
and selected camping place on the
lower ground where a stream OF con-
siderable size emerged from the
meadow on its short course to Dinkey
creek, quarter OF mile distant
The next day we were on the trail
bright and early. We crossed Dinkey
creek and climbed the ridge on the op-
posite side. At noon we rested on tho
banks of Deer creek. In crossing Ahart
meadow we had great difficulty in To-
eating the trail Had 1t not been for
the geological survey maps which we
carried, supplemented by the aid of
a compass we would probably have
met some insurmountable difficulty
This meadow is about half mills
across. The trail into it was plain
enough, but the recent growth Of grass
had so obscured the trail across 1t that
we might have spent several hours in
the search had we not had the assist
ance mentioned
Farther on the route Skoozicks had
the misfortune to cast a shoe, but we
were able to fix him up SO that we
could reach camp that night. Late in
the afternoon we crossed the north
fork of the Kings. The pool below
where the crossing was made was by
far the largest and deepest that we
had crossed was made by the rangers.
They had hewn the lumber from stand
ing timber on the spot and had carried
the hardware in with the aid of pack
mules. We camped for the night at
Cliff camp. This was another cattle
camp. Here we secured the services of
one of the cattlemen in fixing Skoo-
zicks' shoe. This was so well done
that it gave no further trouble during
the entire trip.
Again we were up early and got an
early start We quite exceeded our
record by travelling to Collins meadow
by noon. This was very good going,
considering that the distance was 10
miles. Here was located the last of
the cattle camps that we were to visit
When we had finished our lunch the
cattlemen paid us visit and invited
us to witness the annual rodeo, which
was to take place that afternoon. As
we Were aware of the fact that rodeo
is a roundup and includes the spring
branding we gladly accepted.

Disastrous Speculation in Mines Said To Re Cause of the Failure of Bank Gt Mineral
 Point

Mineral Point. Wis, Oct, 1e-A con. ference was held tonight by United States District Attorney Hardy Nor gan and National Bank Examiner R. W. Goodhart, to decide what steps shall be taken to bring 10 account those responsible for the failure of the First National Bank of this place which was closed following the disap- pearance of more than $2O0.000 of it's funds,
 That fraud is behind the failure is admitted. The cause is sa1d to be dis astrous speculation in mines. The manner In which the bank was de- frauded. 1t is alleged. was through the substitution of notes in the forged names of well-known business men for negotiable securities. The repeated oc- currence of these notes and certain uniformity in their character. aroused the suspicious of the bank examiner. and a further probing into the books of the concern determined his sudden ae- ton in closing the bank

 MT. Allen. a Sunday y-school super, intendent, who some times occupied the pulpit was implicitly trusted.

 Finally referring to the jail sentence resting against him on a charge Of con tempt of court. Mir. Gompers added that Justice Wright had decided the case Of the Buck Stove and RanEe Company against him because he was preJudioed against men that work.
 There is no man 10 whom I will bend the knee. there is no man to whom will look unless he possess the at. tributes of honesty and fair dsaiing |" he said
 After has reference to the contempt prooeedinKs, Mfr. Gompers expressed hts respect for courts in general.
