Pranks of Politicians.

Albany is infected with practical boys who make the telephone the chief instru- ment of torture. At 4 o'clock one morning Assembiymen Colne, chairman of the as : sembly committee on canals, was called out of bed. The conversation was in this order:
 This you, Colne? Were you asleep?"
 NO, no; was playing bridge whist out on the lawn tennis court
 Well, we dislike to disturb you. but we have an argument down town. One man says you are the best authority .a these parts on canals. Is that right?'
 Well, I consider myself pretty good in the daytime, but don't care to be pulled out of bed and asked to discuss canals at ociock in the morning..
 You're little sensitive, Is that it?'
 Sensitive nothing; don't you think g man has a right to be little sensitive over such trick as this? ?'
 But you're not angry?'
 "No I'm delighted"
 "Well, what we wanted to know Is this: Is there any statute prohibiting mem Der of the legislature from taking a bath in any portion or the Erie canal which is not used for drinking purposes?"
 What MT. Colne said then will never be printed

anything else At the time stocks were dull and the prospects for an improve ment on the coast were small. Baldwin had an idea that there was money to be made in China, so he tried to sell 5000 shares of Crown Point, which he had bought at s3 a share and which were at considerably lower figure at the time. The price offered for the stock was so small that he refused to sell raised the money in another way, and went off to China, leaving his stock in the hands of friend with orders for him to sell when the price reached $8.
 Soon after Baldwin left for China the Comstock struck bonanza and prices of stocks began to soar. The friend watched the market, and when 8 was reached for Crown Point he rushed to broker and told him to sell the stock. The broker asked for the shares, and then 1t was dis covered that, while Baldwin had left or ders to sell, he had forgotten the neces- sary power of attorney, and the stock could not be disposed of. It was for tunate mistake. as the sequel showed. Of course Baldwin's trip to China was failure, and he arrived in California broke, as he supposed. But he soon found that his mistake had been of great profit to him, for the 5000 shares were then worth an even million dollars, and lie promptly sold out
 Daring Speculator.
 With his big capital he went into min ing speculation harder than ever, and made money right and left; but it was not until he made his big deal in Ophlr that he got the title of Lucky" The big brokers were envious of his success with Crown Point, and made plans to re- lieve him of his money. They filled him up with stories of the richness of the mi Ia, upon him at from s10 to $15 share enough stock to take about half his for tune. No sooner had he secured posses sion of the stock than the bonanza was struck in Consolidated Virginia and Cali fornia adjoining Ophir. and that stock doubled in sympathy, The conspirators then took another tack and tried to ob- tain control of a majority of the stock and levy an unneeded assessment, which was then a favorite way of freezing out stockholders. Baldwin was too smart for them. however, and quietly disposed of his stock at the top of the market his profits on the deal being about sS,5o0,000.
 The deal, however, worked havoc with the Bank of California, for the stock fell rapidly after that. and the bank went under in the decline. Baldwin then was in New York buying government bonds for investment, and still had balance of something more than s2,00o,OOo on deposit there; but he promptly returned to Cali fornia, and by means which were more or less forcible succeeded in recovering all but $25,000 of the money After that he turned his attention exclusively to real estate, and never again dabbled in mining stocks.
 His first big investment in real estate was 60,000 acres of land in the San Gabriel valley. about 20 miles from Los Angeles. which he bought for 5A0.000. and upon

THE WHEAT
 GROWERS TRUST
From Leslie's Weekly.

From Leslie's Weekly.
 The trust-busters must get to work in Nebraska. recent dispatch from Has tings announces that the wheat growers of Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma, in which section one-third of the winter wheat crop of the country is produced, have formed an association to advance and maintain the price of winter wheat. All the members signed a pledge not to sell their next years crop, except at prices to be fixed by the association. Two thousand wheat growers have joined in a pledge to put up the price of wheat. and we presume that every one of these members feels that he is justified in get ting as good a price for his crops as he possibly can. But what would be said if wheat was produced by corporation and the latter combined its interests In three different states, controlling one third of the output, to put up prices and maintain them at high figures? How long before the Attorney-General of the United States, with the Big Stick behind him. would be raising rumpus over this pal pablo violation of the sherman antitrust

which he spent an enormous amount of money. He chrstened 1t the Santa Anita ranch. The property Is conceded to be the most beautiful and fertile in the state. On one side the mountains tower 5000 feet above 1t and on the other about half that altitude. Baldwin's residence was at the foot of Wilson's Peak and in park skirted by an artificial lake. There is diversity of soil that adapts the place to almost every kind of agriculture, while the climate Is beautiful It is wa tered by hundred natural springs, score of artesian wells and three noun tain streams which are pped a distance of three miles, so that there is a never failing water supply at all times of the year. Fully s2,5OO.OOO has been spent on improvements. and at his death the only mortgage was one of s1, 600 held on the whole estate of s20,0o0,000 by the Hibernia bank of San Francisco.
 As Racing Man.
 It was not until 1874 that he became in- terested In thoroughbred horses. purchas- ing in that year Grinstead and Rutherford as the nucleus of stud farm, and in tho next year buying a number of yearling Allies from Kentucky, one of them, Clara D, winning in her first race all he had paid for the bunch. After that Baldwin became regular breeder and buyer of Allies to be raced and afterward sent to the ranch as brood mares. He generally selected the get of Gleneg, as he believed them to be stronger in the legs than any other stock Tis only colt purchases were Pendennis and Emperor of Norfolk, the former a counterfeit and the latter a phe- nomenon, for which he paid 315,001 at auction, paying the odd dollar in order that he might win bet that colt of ethat famous sire, Lexington, would sell for more than the sire.
 Baldwin was always fortunate with his stable, both from the breeding and racing standpoint. He won the American derby four times, with Emperor of Norfolk, Silver Cloud, volante, and Key el Santa Anita; while Ganymede, Molly McCarty, and Grimer made a good deal of money

Our Center of Population.

From the Geographical Journal.
 Then center of population in 1900 was In the state of Indiana In 17So the center was 23 miles east of Baltimore, in the state of Maryland. or virtually on the At lantic shore line. It's migration has been slow and remarkably uniform, both in rate and direction. It has hovered for 110 years along the 3sth parallel of latitude, and its total variation in latitude has been less than one-third of a degree.
 The western movement has averaged less than a degree in a decade, not with standing the incredibly swift occupation of vacant continent by movement of population westward. The eastern posi- tion of the center of population Is in part due to the fact that the eastern part of the continent was first settled and was

settled from the east. The easteriy posi- ton of the center of population is also due to the more evenly distributed and more abundant resources of the eastern half of the United States.
 It should not be forgotten that the geogra phical center of the Unfted States lies some hundreds of miles west of the Mississippi river. The eastern half of the country therefore, embraces the Atlantic lowlands, the prairies and the great lakes plains. the gulf lowlands and the forests and minerals of the Appalachian noun tains and Appalachian plateaus. Over against these are the arid and mountain- ous areas of the west.
 Certain areas will be reclaimed to in- credible produotiveness. and the mineral wealth Is vast, but the center of popula- ton may be expected to remain perma- nenty to the eastward of the geograph- ical center of the land.
