BRYAN'S TEXAS HOME A MODEL
Plans Game Preserve Near His House
and Will Protect Deer from
Slaughter.

The 100 acres OF Rio Grande Valley land
which William ]. Bryan, the democratic
leader, purchased near Mission nearly one
year ago is being rapidly converted into
a tropical garden. When here on his last
visit Mr.. Bryan said that he Intends to
make this tract Of land one Of the finest
country seats in the United States.
He has selected the site for his winter
residence upon the land and its construc-
ton will be started soon. Mr.. Bryan went
on to explain his statement by saying that
while his residence will not be anything
like as expensive as some other country
homes, it will be surrounded by orchards
Of citrus and other fruits, and the whole
estate will be brought up to the highest
possible standard OF beauty and produc-
tiveness
All of Mr.. Bryan's land here is already
under ditch, and that part which is now
planted and In cultivation is irrigated at
regular intervals from the canal system
which runs through the property.
The preliminary work of Identification
has already received a good start. A broad,
curved driveway, leading from the main
road to the site Of the proposed residence,
has been laid out, and upon each side of 1t

These trees are doing we'll and have
made a good growth during the summer.
To the left of the driveway is an orchard
of several acres Of young English walnut
and pecan trees, while bordering the drive
way on the right is a large orchard of
range trees.
In addition to these trees, Mr.. Bryan
has had many acres planted in fig trees,
Iaronr traau anA MANI aNhan ,araatt,. "a
tropical and semi-tropical fruit and nut
bearing trees. He sent to remote parts of
the world for strange varieties OF trees
and plants which he has had set out upon
his farm.
One of the attractive features of Mr..
Bryan's farm is a large vineyard which
fruit.
W~indbrakes of bamboo will be planted
around the several fields and orchards up
on the place. 1t is planned to utilize the
bamboo for commercial purposes. 1t at
tains a quick and large growth in the soil
of the valley and, the manufacture Of
furniture out of the wood is to be carried
on on a large scale when the supply Of
the material is sufficient to warrant the
establishment OF the proposed plant.
Mr.. Bryan also will nave a game pre-
serve Of several acres upon his land. Many
wild deer are now found upon tho un-
cleared portion of the tract. These ami
mails he will not allow anyone TO kill.
When here during the last open deer sea-
son Mr.. Bryan was invited to go out on
a hunt after the animals, but he declined
the Invitation on the ground that he Is
opposed to staying innocent wild animals,
such as deer.
He enjoys duck shooting, for he says
these birds have a good ohance for their
lives, while 1t is mere slaughter to kill
deer. During the late fall and all through
the winter season the irrigating canals
around Mission abound with wild ducks,
and Mr.. Bryan expects to indulge freely
in shooting these birds when he comes to
his valley farm to make his winter home.

mas" Referring to this press dispatch
dated Omaha, August 20. which has ap-
peared in papers over the country. ! am
surprised that newspaper men, who are
supposed to be the best informed, could
be guilty Of such a ridiculous statement as
contained therein.
1 do not know who the author OF the
5O-cent prophecy is, but IL a Dreamer man
he must be classed alongside OF the ridicu-
lous newspaper man.
Then, again, to say that there Is 50Vo
pounds of butter in cold storage passes
the comprehension OF any man who Is
posted as to such an infinites sinai quantity,
We have oreameries In Omaha that can
make 10000 pounds Of butter in one day,
and to think Of holding in cold storage e
one-day supply in order to compel the 90
cent price Of butter does not appeal to
anybody who is posted as a very serious
matter,
II there is a combipation on butter in
the state of Nebraska the writer does not
know it, and certainly is not q member
of 1t. The price of butter, as far as /
know, is regulated wholly by the laws of

Since the recent arrival in San Fran

vague rumor has floated from that re-
doubtable little craft, circled Goat Island,

out Of the Army and Navy club to the
effect that q naval branch OF the Mature
Takers club is to be established. The
rumor was first seen, II is reported, shortly

It and stretches across the neck OF land,
thus shutting off the buffRlo's retreat.

MONTEREY IN WAR HISTORY

The people OF Monterey are doubtless
feeling today that their handsome city has

but IL there are resident there any sur

Of a baptism OF fire that was infinitely

eral Ampudia and his 10000 men who had
fortified themselves at Monterey.
1t was not until September q that the
fighting began. Then It continued for
three days, the Americans repeatedly
storming the Notifications about the city,
sometimes gaining ground. sometimes re-
pulsed. Finally on September %, the Mex
lean commander made overtures Of sur

oath. The Mexicans were allowed to march
out OF the city with small arms and &C
coutrements, twenty-one rounds OF anu
milton, and one field battery of artillery.
They were allowed eight days In which to
evaouate. Such liberal terms by victor
TO vanquished were unheard Of at that
time, and General Taylor had some trouble
IN q~uieting the storm OF Indignation which
his ~leniency aroused in Washington. but he
finally succeeded In convincing both
the authorities and the people that his
action was for the best.
