When Mr.. Sankey First Sang the
Famed "Ninety and Nine"

The story of Ninety and Nine" the
wellknown hymn the music for which
Mr.. Ira d. Sankey improvised in burst
of deep feeling, was told by Rev. DR..
c. E. Locke, at the funeral of Mr..
Sankey. The evangelist had found a
little poem, The Lost Sheep" in a
Scotch newspaper. SO runs DR.. Locke's
account in the Brooklyn Eagle, and
had clipped it. One night. in Edin-
burgh Mr.. Moody asked him to sing.
Mr.. Moody had just finished his SER

Sankey had no thought of composing
a new song but as he used to tell the
story:

fell on A fiat and my eyes fell on that
little poo. I began to sing. and ]
sang the words of that poem"
When he had finished, Mr.. Moody
rushed down from the platform and

vaaced at his natural gait, the quick,
tireless stride of an American railroad
surveyor. His feet. trained to swamp
travel in Louisiana and Panama,
seemed to find the firmest ground as
by instinct, and whether on the half
dried mud of the hummocks or in the
ankle-deep water of the boys, they felt
their way without slip or stumble.
Winthrope, though burdened only
with the half-eaten coryphene, toiled
along behind, greatly troubled by the
mud and the tangled reeds, and now
and then flung down by some unlucky
misstep. His modish suit, already
much damaged by the salt water, was
soon smeared afresh with coating of
greenish slime. His one consolation
was that Blake, after jeering at his first
tumble, paid no more attention to
him., On the other hand, he was cut
by the seeming Indifference of Miss
Leslie. Intent on his own misery, he
failed to consider that the girl might
be suffering far greater discomfort and
humiliation.
More than three miles had been COW
cred before Blake stopped on a hum
mock. Releasing Miss Leslie, he
stretched out on the dry crest of the
knoll and called for a slice of the fish.
At his urging the others took a few
mouthfuls, although their threats were
SO parched that even the moist flesh
afforded scant relief. Fortunately for
them all, Blake had been thoroughly
trained to endure thirst. He rested
Miss Leslie up again like a rag doll,
he swung away at a good pace.
The trees were less than half a
mile distant when he halted for the
second time. He would have gone to
them without a pause, though his mus
cles were quivering with exhaustion,
had not Miss Leslie CHANGED to look
around and discover that Winthrope
was no longer following them. For
the last mile he had been tagging
farther and farther behind, and now
he had suddenly disappeared. At the

leased his hold and she found herself
standing in a foot or more of mud and
water. The sweat was streaming
down Blake's face. AS he turned
around, he wiped it of with his shirt

SAYS CONCESSIONS
WERE AGAINST LAW
Sidney Dell Declares That the Miner
and Huntington Leases at the
Harbor Were Never
Legal

Sidney Dell, who writes from Casa
Verdugo and says he is a member of
the Los Angeles bar, has filed a state
ment with the city council that he
believes will have an important bearing
in the fight against the corporations
for a free harbor.
Mr. Dell makes the unqualified
statement that Randolph II. Miner
and II. E. Huntington have no Valld
leases to the concessions they hold IN
the outer harbor. He declares that'
at the date of the leases, the southern
boundary line of san Pedro extended
from the southwest corner of block "a
on an east and west line across the
harbor intersectlng the southerly eX-
tremity of Deadman's Island. rms
line included about one-third of these
two supposed concessions.
Soon after the Miner concession, Mr'
Dell says, the city limits of San Pedro
were extended so as to include all
the outer harbor.
He declares he lived in San Pedro
at the time of the Miner concession,
and helped in the fight against 1t, ana
that when the limits were extended he
Caught on" to the fatal defect in
the lease, but said nothing at the
time, preferring to keep his informa-
ton to himself for use at the proper
time. He declares there was no sub
seuuent ratification of the lease, nor
does the confirmation act of 1907 cure
the defect in the concessions, as II
mentions only the lines included in the
original grant.

the explorers claim TO have reached
the North Pole, will be shipped

it will be guarded on the voyage by
the explorers secretary, Walter Ions

Municipal Affairs
WOULD PLANT TREES
ON AQUEDUCT LINE
American Forestration Company Asks
for Lease of Forty Thousand
Acres from Los Angeles
City Council

The proposal of the American Fores-
tration company to pay the city mil
lions of dollars for the use of lands
along the aqueduct, owned by the city
was filed yesterday and will be con-
sidered by the council at its session
today.
In it's petition the company states
it desires to lease all the land along
the owens river aqueduct that is
available for growing eucalyptus trees,
This is supposed to be about 10000
acres of land, and should it prove
more or less the offer will be altered
in proportion.
A lease of this land is asked for
fifteen years, with the right to use
the water from the aqueduct to such
an extent as may be necessary. The
trees that are grown on the land are
TO be cut by the forestration company
in a scientific manner that will insure
healthy stumps. The land is to be
divided into three tracts, one forest
OF 5000 acres, one of 10000 and one
Of $4,000. All of the small forest will
be planted in one year, the next largest
in two years and the third in three
years.
For this privilege the company offers
to pay the city $25O,O00 at once, $4,000
in one year and $500,000 in two years,
a total of a million dollars in two
years.
At the end of fifteen years the entire
forest Is to be turned over to the city,
the company to surrender the lease to
the city, and in this way the city will
come into developed property worth
$50 100000 on its estimated earning
capacity of s15, 100000 yearly.

INY0 COUNTY TAXES TO
BE PAID UNDER PROTEST
Los Angeles Will EndeaVor to Recover
the Fifteen Thousand Dollars
to Be Forwarded

The assessor of Inyo county has fig
ured the amount of taxes the city
owes Inyo county for the fiscal year al
about $4,000, and the board of public
works will ask the council today for
authority to pay these taxes. Most OF
the money will be paid under protest
and an effort will be made to collect it
back through the courts, as the law
holds that city property is not subject
to taxes and the lands on which the
taxes are levied are held entirely for
municipal purposes.
Some of the property is assessed in
the name of the Inyo Canal company,
the New Stevens Ditch company and
the Dell Ditch company, but the city
has acquired all the stock of these
companies and their holdings are own
ed by the municipality.

In connection with the tidelands suits.
The council must find the money to
pay this demand somewhere, for the
council authorized the work to be
done, but Dromgold insists there is
nothing in the general expense fund,
and is endeavoring to have the money
paid out of some other fund.
Last week, by Councilman Drom-
COLDS resolution, the board of public
works was authorized to pay Anderson
& Anderson $500 out of the harbor
fund. The board will report to the
council today that it does not propose
to do anything of the kind, as the
appropriation for the harbor made by
the council was expressly for the pur-
pose of paying the cost of incidental
work in connection with the engineer
ing features of the harbor.
