!" HAT which is rare in the world
of nature is always richly
priced by man, be it some
strange fantastic form, some
exotic growth, or some very
beautiful bloom. The stonecrop, the
sage-brush and the cactus have
claimed California for their own,
spreading out into the desert-lands
which lie to the eastward, and climb

a tiny wayside station neal San Di-
ego, perched on the top of a high cliff
above the wash of the blue Pacific
v For days I had stepped my
soul in the delights of the woods and
wastes, found companionship with
birds and things that creep, and gath
cred here and there fragile fragrant
flowers. But now the rarest tree in
the whole wide world had called to
me from it's isolation; the report of
its marvellous characteristics, it's
rugged beauty, its picturesque habitat
had all been detailed, and so one
glorious day, when the California sky
was domed like lapis lazuli, I travelled
to Del Mar to see the famous Torrey
pines.
1t 10 e%nthralling to think how ma
ture has set this handful of conifers
on a Californian cliff, the only speci-
mems of their kind ever found on
earth, save for a few on the near by
island of Santa Rosa. 1t was not un-
til the year 1850 that these trees were
discovered by Mr.. j. L. lie Conte, who
forthwith named them Pinus torrey-
ana, after DR.. John Torrey of New
and nature-lovers have made a pill
grimage to this lonely shrine on the
summit of the windswept bluffs,
among them Engelmann, Asa Gray,
Bayard Taylor and Charles F. Holder.
Leaving the station at Del Mar, I fol-
lowed the railroad for a mile or so,
emerging out of a cutting on to a
strip of track which skirted a deep
ravine chiseled and c~hanneled like the
Grand Canon of Colorado in miniature:
thence rounding a rampant of rock 1
came upon a mass of quarried quarts
shimmering in the sunlight, such as is
used for the foundation of roads in
this vicinity. The shining pyramid
was my signpost to leave the steel
rails and turn towards the sea.
A steep, sandy trail led down to join
the oiled road which skirted the shore
as far as the foot of the southerly
headland, and then wound away
among the hills behind the cliffs. From
this point 1 gained my first view of
the Torrey pines, a cluster of tortured
trunks and twisted branches covered
with fascicles of immensely long
leaves outlined against the sky sew

LIND DECLINES
STATES REASON WHY HE SHOULD
NOT HEAD DEMOCRATIC
TICKET.
IN A LETTER TO CHAIRMAN DAY
Disposition Exists Not to Accept State
ment as Last Word-Believes
He is lnelig-
ible.

st. Paul.-John Lind's statement
that he will not be a candidate on the
Democratic ticket for the governor
ship is now in the hands of the Mime
sofa Democratic leaders.
Frank A. Day, chairman of the com
mittee, to whom the letter was ad
dressed, returned from Fairmont, and
found the letter waiting for him. Mr.
Day is consulting with his friends and
the exact text of the letters will not
be given out until the matter has been
fully considered.
Mr.. Lind takes the position, 1t is
understood, that the law relative to
the members of the board of regents
being candidates for any other office
during the time for which they have
been elected, is inhibitive, and that
der the conditions.
He recites his reasons for not being
a candidate and expressed the opinion
that some other man can be nominal
ed and elected.
The Democrats are apparently moi
Willie " oSSCpI NIL. I<liiu . SSAA
ton as final. They say the law rela'
tive to the board of regents is not
binding, because the constitution it
self fixes the status of candidates fol
office, and that any law which as
sumes to override the constitution
would not necessarily be binding.
Not Last Word.
Although the Democratic leaders are
considerably taken off their feet by
Mr.. Lind's letter, they are not dis
posed, at once, to accept it as the last
word.
In addition tt their Interpretation
of the law passed by the Legislature
relative to the eligibility of men hold
ing Office while on the board of re
gents, they say that Mr.. Lind owes a
duty to the party and say no man has
been known to ignore a unanimous
call to duty.
The only thing that puzzles them is
whether or not Mr.. Lind will make
good on his statement. They acknowl
edge that the former governor is in
clined to have his own way and that
he may absolutely decline to run il
nominated without his consent. In
spite of this, their first inclination is
to nominate him and leave the rest
to chance.
In the background, the name of Con
gresham w. S. Hammond, looms UP
largely as a possibility.
With the head of the ticket in doubt
Democrats are busily engaged in nam
ing the rest of their ticket. If Lind
were nominated for governor, one OF
the most likely candidates for the sec
ond place would be Charles A. Nye
Of Moorhead. 1t seems unlikely that
Fred w. Johnson, of New Ulm, will
be named for second place if either
Lind or Hammond were nominated
The nomination of Lind and Johnson
would place too many Scandinavians
at the head of the ticket, while Ham
mond and Johnson would overload the
ticket with candidates from the sec
pnd district.
