OAKLAND. Cal, November 23.-The

forcement of the Otis Walker anti-betting

copied bonds provided by the New Cali

day. The case will be made test.

CENTER OF THE EARTH.
How the Zuni Indians Have Marked
the Spot by q Crude Shrine.

From the Kansas City Star.
Why all this fuss and controversy as to
whether it was Cook or Peary, or either
of them, or both, that discovered the
north pole? Surely the center of the
earth is as important as either extremity;
and the Zuni Indians have the center
safely corralled and appropriately marked
upon their reservation. They feel quite
sure Of it, and that ought to be sufficient
In the Zuni cosmogony the earth is
conceived of as fat and shaped like a
pancake. Being a chosen people of the
gods. they were commanded early in their
triba! career to go to the exact center of
the world and there build their homes:
and one of the most interesting legends of
the people relates the story of their wan
derings in search of the middle place, and
tells how they knew II when they reached
it. 1t Is about 200 yards south of their
village in western New Mexico, thirty-five
miles south Of Gallup. on the Santa FEE
route. 1t is marked by a crude shrine,
built like bake oven out of fiat stones.
Two large removable fiagstones close the
entrance, which faces the rising sun.
On the top are a number of concretiOn-
airy formations, known to the Indians as
thunder stones. In the interior are large
numbers of feather-tufted prayer sticks
and several earthenware vessels filled
with sacred meal. Numerous ceremonial
dances, in the nature of rainmaking rites,
are performed around this holy place.

Japanese Dwarf Trees.

From st. Nicholas.
These charming dwarfed trees are en-
tirely a product of the patience and skill
of Japanese gardeners. The dwarfing of
these is kept a secret by them and has
as yet never been found out or initiated
to such a marvellous degree by any other
nation. While there are dwarf fruit trees
grown in Europe. especially in Germany
and Holland. no such tiny specimens
have ever been produced there. The trees
which are used for dwarf1ng by the Japa-
nese embrace all varieties of conifers
such as pines, cedars. cryptomerias. junf-
pers: many evergreen. such as Hex, ci-
trus trifoiiata, ETC.: some towering
plants like azaleas. naples: also some
fruit trees. such as oranges and plums
which blossom and bear the most tiny
fruits to perfection. 1t is claimed for
some specimens OF cedars that they are
over 500 years old. These very ancient
trees are handed down from father to
son in some families regarded as price
less heirlooms 1t is to be regretted that
are lost through ignorance of the atten-
ton they require. The danger lies In
overcare more than in neglect. Too MANY
people imagine that these pretty foreign
ers need especial attention and coddling
when, on the contrary, great deal Of
fresh air, a reasonable amount of water
and not too much warmth are the chief
requirements. They are all hardy, and
too much warmth In overheated rooms Is
sure to kill them,

Great Britain's Wild Cattle.

From Farm and Home.
The wild cattle Of Great Britain have
become one Of the curiosities of the bo-
vine race in this country. There are
only very few herds of them remaining,
and most OF these are diminishing from
very natural cause OF course, they are
confined in parks, and are jealousy
guarded from any admixture OF alien
blood. They are as wild as buffaloes. and
are treated In the same way as deer In
color they are white. with red ears. and
historians assert that they had large
share IN the evolution of the shorthorn

How Welsh Women Garry Babies.

From The London Chronicle
The quaint old Welsh way in which
swansea women carry their babies at
tracts every ones notice when visiting
that town for the first time. A big shawl
over the right shoulder is drawn down
to the left hip, where the two ends Of
the shawl are met and held together
forming sort of pouch or pocket, in
which the baby snuggles cozily and
safely.
It's weight is so supported by the hip and
distributed by the shawl over the whole up-
per part of the body that there is no strain
at all nor any firing of the arms This
probably accounts for the upright car
riage OF the Welsh mother. Moreover.

A Lighthouse in q Church.

Some time ago an account appeared in

situated in It's steeple.
1t was stated that 1t was the only one
OF its kind in the world. A vigilant and
patriotic Danish reader, however. points
out that his own country possesses a
similar curiosity in the steeple of the
church at Thuno, small island In the

maintains the lighthouse and the minister
is the official inspector. This the Danish
correspondent believes, is unique.

COMMISSION SCORES VICTORY
q. s. COURT SUSTAINS INTER
STATE COMMERCE BODY.
Dismissal Of Suit Brought by Rail-
ways for 1njunction-Tarif
Rates Involved.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, November 23.-
The interstate commerce commission Sc
cured an important victory in the matter
of the establishment of freight rate yester-
day, when the United States circuit court
for the eastern district Of Pennsylvania
| sustained the demurrer filed by the COM
mission asking for the dismissal of the
suit brought by the Baltimore and Ohio
and other railroads to enjoin the COM
mission from enforcing its order Of June
Z, 1900, whereby it established tariff
| rate on big vein coal carried from the
Georges Creek and Elk River regions in
Maryland to Atlantic coast points in other
states
The decision is also important to the
shippers of coal in the Somerset region
in Pennsylvania and the Austen-Newburg
fields in West Virginia. as we'll as the
Georges Greek and Elk River interests in
Maryland These three fields ave been
in sharp competition for a long time for
the New England and other eastern
trade.
Discrimination Alleged.
The big vein coal from Maryland had
been charged a higher freight rate when
shipped beyond the Chesapeake and Della
ware capes than the coal for the other
two fields. and the interstate commerce
commission reduced the rate, making it
uniform with the rate from the Penn
sylvania and West Virginia regions.
The railroads sought to have the COM
mission enjoined from reducing the rate,
and the commission filed demurrer, ask
ing for the dismissal of the suit, which
the court sustained
The case was heard by Judges Gray
Burlington and Lanning and the opinion
was filed late this afternoon by Judge
Burlington. The complainants in the &C.
ton besides the Baltimore and Ohio were
the Philadelphia and Reading, Western
Maryland. the Pennsylvania. Cumberland
Valley and the Lehigh and New England
railroads.

Substance of the Decision.

In its opinion the court says: ut re-
mains to consider an argument peculiar
to the Pennsylvania railroad advanced at
the hearing. 1t was in effect said that as
the lines of that railroad enter the
Georges Creek basin only and do not en-
ter the West Virginia and Pennsylvania
fields in question, the order will subject
it to pains and penalties should the Bal
timore and Ohio hereafter change its
rates from the West Virginia and Penn
sylvania fields. 1t suffices to say that
such danger is too remote to invoke in
junction relief and that If any such con-
struction is placed upon the order as is
now suggested there will be opportunity
to that road to apply to the commission
for modification of the order, or to this
court for injunction relief

never work and laugh and play

ed, a destroyed life, without hope,

During the recent conferences of
the judges Of the Juvenile court,
much stress was laid on the fact
that although much good work was
being accomplished for the refor-
nation of youth gone wrong, little
was done to keep youth straight in
the first place; and that against
the force for evil of the low sa-
looms selling liquor to children, and
the cheap, vulgar theaters, and
the cheap dance halls, the work of
helping, and boosting, and making

and girls pulled down and hurt
and stunted in the dangerous
depths of city life, became a losing
fight.

Mr.. Taylor went from Portland
to Roseberg by rail, driving from
