 Mrs Friedman dreamed that her eldest boy was in the United States navy. He stood before her as in real life, grown stalwart, looking every inch blue jacket Then she awoke.
 The more Mrs. Friedman thought of the vision the more she felt that it was true. She wrote to the navy de- partment at Washington in the hope of ascertaining whether a boy named Mervyn Friedman was in the ranks The letter was referred to the bureau of navigation. The roll was exam ined, with the result that the boy was found

She sold the few effects she had, and with barely enough money to pay her fare, she hurried on tn New York She went to the home of her sister, Mrs E. Schumacher, and at the first opportunity visited the navy yard With her heart full of expectation. she boarded the Prairie and asked to see young Friedman. The boy came on deck. Mother gazed upon son, son upon mother. There was no recogni- tion. The mother yearned to take the boy of her dream in her arms, but she feared that she might be mistaken Her voice trembled as she asked if he were Mervyn Friedman and whether he came from San Francisco Then the boy quickly identified him self.

As the moose rose and fell cleanly over the steers neck shout of derision went up from the crowd, They thought it impossible for any man to throw a steer in that way But, quick as a flash, Purdy made fast the rope to the horn of the saddle, and almost before the spectators knew what had hap pened, the steer was struggling on the ground The final result of that tie is famous. Purdy ran to the steer and had it properly tied in one minute and three seconds, making the best time of the day and beating Archie Kaaua's time by six seconds. When the finals came off Purdy was more used to his horse and tied his steer in 56 seconds.
 The man to whom much of the credit for the Hawaiian's victory is due is Eben Low, brother of Jack Low, half-brother to Archie Kaaua, and cousin to Purdy. Mr. Low is a retired rancher. who now lives in Hon. olulu He it was who started the fund

LAVA FOR RAILROAD BALLAST
Hitherto Regarded as Entirely Use less Found to Make Excellent
 Foundation for Road Bed.

Bend, Ore.-The railroad survey south from Bend has now reached the lava fields. distant some eight miles LID the Deschutes. It has just become known that this lava, which has hith erto been regarded as entirely useless. will supply the very best ballast for the new road and will probably be used on the entire central stretch of the line. Not only will it fill this pur- pose excellently well. but contrary to the belief that has previously existed, obtaining it will be an economical task.

gists as to the Shifting of Heat Zones.

Washington.-The reports that Dr. Cook and Commander Peary have both succeeded in reaching the north pole have renewed scientific interest in the theory that was so prevalent some thirty years ago-that the first habita- tion of man was in the region of the north pole, and that there was located the true Garden of Eden. Biologists hold that the earth was originally a huge molten mass, and that the cool ing process was more rapid at the poles than anywhere else. Hence the two extremities would have been the first parts of the earth's surface to sustain animal lits. It was argued that as the surface gradually cooled and became habitable man migrated southward. and that after the lapse of many cen turies the cold at the poles was too extreme for man.
 As far north as man has been able to make any research the bones of

 Purdy's first appearance in public was made in Honolulu a year ago, when Eben Low produced wild west show at Kapiolani park. Angus Nc Phee, then champion of the world, was present and took part in the con- petition, beating Purdy and Kaaua, but using a tied rope instead of loose one, to which the Hawaiians had been accustomed
 Purdy Is typical Hawaiian of the mountains. 1.-the as a Greek god, the symmetry of his well-muscled limbs is something to wonder at. His face is dark and has many of the features of Wyoming Indian, but he has none of their characteristics, for he is well educated and speaks three languages with ease and fluency. In manner he is quiet and talks but little. He is in no way conceited about his won derful victory, but chats of his trip and his doings in the easiest and most modest way in the world.

ORIGINAL POLES NOT FOUND

prehistoric mammals have been found. The remains of mastodons have been found imbedded in the ice of Siberia and Alaska, furnishing proof that at some time those animals ranged over those regions. The vast coal fields of Spitzbergen and Alaska are cited as another instance that at some time in ages past rank vegetation must have existed there. It is known that the coal measures of Alaska cover a vast area of territory. If vegetation once covered the area around the pole, why should it not have been the home of man?

Mrs. Friedman enlisted the services of Sen ator Bourne of Oregon and Congress man Julius Kahn of this city. She wrote letters to each, telling of her need for her boy Congressman Kahn, touched by her apepal, submitted the correspondence to the secretary of the navy
 After some delay the navy depart ment acquiesced in the recommends tions of the Pacific coast representa- tives. Young Friedman was given an honorable discharge. Bidding his mother good-by, he hurried to San Francisco to find employment. He was accompanied by his younger brother. Mrs. Friedman remained with her sister in New York.

OHIO-TEXAS SUGAR co.
START GRINDING SOON
Repairs and Improvement Nearly
Completely. F. DeIbert Says
Damage in Louisiana Exaggerated.

A F. Delbert, builder of the big
mill of the Ohio-Texas Sugar Co.
left this morning for New Orleans
after putting in half week at the
plantation. Mr. Delbert said. last
night that all the repairs and i'm
provements to the mill would be
completed in a couple of weeks and
it would be ready to start up just as
soon as the crop is in condition to
grind.
Speaking of conditions in Louis
lana, Mr. Delbert said that the re-
ports of heavy damage to sugar mills
and the cane crop in the recent hur-
ricane were greatly exaggerated, the
loss in reality being very slight.
Before the grinding season opens,
Delbert will make one more visit to
the mill to see that everything is in
readiness.

morning, Mr.. Miller said that he was
delighted to notice the many improve
ments that had taken place in
Brownsville since his last visit here in
February of this year His faith in
the future of this valley and of this
city had always been great
and now was greater than ever. Geo
graphically, Mr.. Miller pointed out
Brownsville is situated better than
any other border city and when the
railroad to Tampico is built (and
there is no doubt that it will be built)
Brownsville will profit thereby more
than any other river town.
Mr.. Miller said that he had run
over merely to call on his friends
and look into some investments he
had in the valley. He expects to re-
main here several days,
Mr.. Church, who is manager of
the Corpus Christi Steamship Co.,

that the water line to Galveston has
been such a success, that the company

owns now not being able to handle
all the freight that is offered,
Great preparations are being made
in Corpus, Mr. Church sad, to enter
tain President Taft On behalf of his
friend Col Miller, who is running
the show, he said he wished to extend
an invitation to the people of the
border 10 go to Corpus and see real
live president on parade. Judging
from the plans already made and in
the making Mr.. Church said, it would
easily be the biggest event that has
happened in Southwest Texas in
some years and one that should be at
tended by everybody who can pos
sibly get to Corpus.
