the tabulated statements of the con-

question of fuctuation in position Of
the lake of lava brings up an amusing
query as to the boundary of the Bishop

if the lake changes its position the

Howerd S. Hill, cucumber-grower %
Gardiner. The new fruit. or vegeta-
bic resulted from an experiment triel
several weeks ago by Mr.. Hill.
An orange tree was in full bloom in
the cucumber hothouse at the time
the blossom of the cucumber vines first
appeared. Mr.. Hill transferred the pol
len from orange blossoms TO several
cucumber flowers. The first appeaEan
of the fruit was the same as that of
an ordinary infant cucumber, but as
1t grew abe result OF the incubation
became apparent
TIE cucumber remained round like
an orange, with the orange bloom scar
but the skin was that of a cucumber,
with tue smae corrugauons. When ri
pened the new product assumed a
bright orange color, and from dis
lance appeared Tire same as an orangs.
With tie seeds from the best specimen
Mr.. Hill is growing number of vines
and thinks that tae new fruit will
become established and prove favorite
as the taste of the orange and cucum-
Der blends in an excellent manner.

A Lincoln Poem.

great president flickers across his few
attempts at versifying. In The Wis

Company a collection of Encoln's best
utterances, these lines appear as part
Of poem written in 1886:
My chlldhood's home / see again,
And sadden with the view;
And still, as memory crowds my brain
There's pleasure in it, too
o Memory! thou midway world
.Twixt earth and paradise,
Where things deoaying and loved ones
lost
In dreamy shadows rise.
And freed from all that's earthly vile,
Seem hallowed, pure and bright,
Like scenes in some enchanted isle
All bathed in liquid light.
AS dusky mountains please the eye
When twilight chases day;
AS bugle notes that, passing by,
In distance die away.

R Ii. Pratt and His Wife Cele=

Many Friends of Couple Journey
Into Sonoma County to
Pay Their Respects

r. H Pratt and Mrs. Pratt celebra ted
the sixtieth ahniv ersary of their we'd
ding day at Zinfandel. Sonoma county,
yesterday. and a large number OF
friends of the old ra5lreadman went TO
his country honle to give their con-
gratulations in person.
There are few men whose name IS
so linked with western railroad work
As that of r. H. Pratt. He resigned
from the service of the Southern Pa
cific some % odd years ago, ana re-
tired to his vineyard where he now
lives. cultivating the fruits OF the
earth and striving to make those VINO
are around him happy.
When Stanford, Huntington, Crocker
and Hopkins were building the Old
Central Pacific they required the sery-
ices of man at the front, as the
Union Pacific and the Central Pacif1e
were to receive a bonus fom the gov
ernment of so much a mile and the
Central Pacific was behind in the
work. By unanimous choice Pratt was
Sent to Nevada and Utah to hurry 1T
along. He gathered up all the men
and teams he could secure. and the
Union Pacific accused him of steal
ing men and horses and a few other
crimes.

Pacific ought to take a higher grade
over the mountains and began to con-
struct his road some feet above the
Union Pacific grade. The dirt and rock
had TO go somewhere. so it was sent
down on the Union Pacific grade, and
not only was its track covered up, but
the men working on it came near to
being buried alive.
Pratt won. The Central Pacific was
awarded the longer mileage; and it
is presumed that the Central Pacific
changed its grade to that of the Union
Pacific after the earth had been dug
away.
Mrs. Pratt accompanied r. II. Pratt
to the frontier, and in the town of Car
lin their youngest daughter, Mrs. Car
lin Eastwood. was born and was
named after Carlin.
Pratt retired after he became as
sistant general superintendent of the
Southern Pacific. and he is the only one
left alive of the old operating force

THREATEN loss OF
FOOD SUPPLY As A
SYMPATHETIC MOVE

BORDEAUX, Nov. 25.-The* situa-
tlon. in the street railway employe
strike became more serious for the
company Wednesday. when the
butchers and bakers of this city
threatened to cut off the citys food
supply by joining a general strike of
sympathy.
The employees Of the city lighting
plant have already joined the strik-
ers, and last night they darkened the
Streets of the city for few mo-
lments, to show their strength. The
officials fear that unless the strike
is soon settled, the strikers will per-
manently darken the streets, and
thus turn the city over to vandals
after nightfall.
. Despite the fact that 5000 troops
are already on hand, and the city
now has the appearance a mill
tary camp, reinforcenents continue
to arrive. The street railway COM
pany, however, is making no attempt
to move its cars, knowing that sucl,
an attempt would result in demon
srrations.N ~ + ,:~,.. liz, -;
