mountains were high and the trails of
the toughest sort. To me the perilous
part of the ride was when we came to
a chasm some 1000 feet deep with a
wire pulley stretched across 1t and
large baskets suspended from the pull

across 1t was necessary to sit In the
basket and be hauled over on the
pulley.
A Delightful Country.
Nicaragua is one of the most de-
lightful of countries. The climate Is
charming. The moonlight of the even

forget. In the cities there are many
handsome buildings, and much atten-s
ton Is given to art. The natives are
kind and generous, and the well to do
families, most Of whom have Travelled
much and are educated abroad, are
very hospitable.
Leon, our final destination, has 40
BOO inhabitants and is very picturesque,
with its old churches and its pretty
little houses and courtyards filed with
tropical plants. The place was I'M
spoiled by tourists. and an American
woman was a great curiosity. When
ever one passed through the streets
people rushed out Of doors to see her.

Pets at Juja Farm,

In the same article Mr. Roosevelt
tells as follows OF some of the inter
esting pets kept by Mr.. and Mrs. Nc
MILAN on their farm In East Africa:
AT JULIA farm many animals were
kept In cages They included fairly
friendly leopard and five lions. two OF
which were anything but friendly.
There were three chectahs nearly full
grown. These were continually taken
out on leashes, Mrs. Mcmillan strolling
about with them and Leading them To

tempered. but they did not lead wen.
Cheetahs are interesting beasts. They
are aherrant cats. standing very high
on their legs and with nouretractile
claws like dog They are nearly the
size of leopard. but are not ordinari-

Picturesque Ride on Mules.

In describing n ride of 30 miles or
muleback from the mountain town OF
Madagalpa during her first visit to
Leon she says:
That ride from Leon to Madagalpa
was the most picturesque and in many
ways the most exciting of the trip. 1t
was five days climb through noun
tain wilderness to this quaint little
town, which is several thousand feet
above Sea level. We had to have an
Indian guide, and it was so hot that
we could travel only at night
There was not much enchantment
about the houses where we stopped
along the route. however These were
Indian huts made of straw and grass
aud mud. We slept in hammocks. and
1t was necessary to have the hammocks
swung high because the pigs of that
vicinity are numerous and also friend
ly. and If hammock happens to be
low enough they insist on scratching
their backs against the sleeper. We
carried some of our own provisions
with us, but much of the time had to
eat the native dishes. the principal one
being rice fried in grease. with cold
water poured over IT, | ate this. but
never could persuade myself to try
tortlllas, the native bread.
Menaced by Robbers.
MANY travellers are held up and rob-
bed along this route. On our first
night out we thought we were going to
be. We We're ut an inn when several
rough looking men rode up armed to
the teeth. They had good horses and
no baggage. You do not need detec-
tive 20 tell you that men who ride
swift steeds and don't carry luggage
on the Madagalpan trail are freeboot-
ers. They watched us continually I'M
til we left the inn.
I'VE feared they would follow us
and expected TO be held up on the trail
Our Indian guide evidently thought so
too. He was clearly frightened and
hurried us along AT such pace that
we became lost and wandered about
nearly all night before we got back TO
the trail. Perhaps that circumstance
saved us from the robbers, for we saw
no more Of them"

The city council held meeting last night. designated the polling places for the sewer bond election to be held June Is. and named the election of ficers. Registration of voters will be- gin next Monday and it is urged by the council that every citizen register at the first opportunity
 It is we'll known that there will be opposition to the bonds and that it can not be overcome unless the people generally take an interest in the cleo ton. It is explained that ae an cleo tion of this kind almost any person is eligible to vote who could vote at a regular city election for candidates for office Aside from the residence qualification. all else that is required is that the voter have some taxable property, real or personal. regardless of whether the assessor caught him in his last round. or in any previous round There is hardly citizen. therefore. who would have any desire to vote. except the very latest corners. who is not eligible to do so.

The great day when the Adams hotel baseball nine is to cross bats with the Maiestics is near at hand. Tomorrow afternoon at Eastlake park the thes plans are to be made to pull down their flag and send 1t aloft upside down. At least that is the program outlined by the hotel athletes.
 Trained down to the minute. the heavyweights of both teams will rest today. No grilling work under the hot sun. no bases to he circled. no elusive flies to be captured. Just peace and calm. Perhaps it's the calm before the storm. The jury in the form of an umpire and critical audience will de- termine this tomorrow afternoon.
 That it will be great game there is no doubt There is some pretty good material upon both teams. and defeat means the crushing of any champion ship aspirations the losing team may have previously entertained With Jimmie Lee in the box for the Ma jestics the game is bound to be worth the price of admission, even if all tn" other stars are benched during the first inning And the Majcstics will ap- pear III iueiT new uli'oiiHS.

MORTGAGE LIFTING

New York Store Combines a Celebra : ton With a Price Mas

This morning. May 1. 1910. the New York Store launches its big mort gage lifting sale sale designed to raise enough money to pay off the s2O.O00 mortgage shortly to become due on it's property at the corner of First and Washington streets. now occupied by Goldberg brothers This event is both celebration and business pro- ject for it is just fifteen years since the late sam koirick laid the founda- tions of what is now one of the big
 torres in the territory. The store some years ago succeeded to his brother Charles Korrick. and since then has continued to grow and expand until the time draws near when it will be absolutely necessary for larger quaI- ters and desirable to make. them per lnament.
 The fact that Mir. Korricl< has |. mortgage to meet is no reflection on his business saSacity. no intimation that business with him has not been all that il should have been. Quite the contrary. It only shows that Mir. Kor rick had the sagacity and nerve some time back to buy something he could hpt HtsN ApA.

Everybody has turned out just as he expected it would. but he has to pay for the building now and needs the money" It IS not question: uf being unable to get money" on the usual terms. but a mere question of turning some of his big stock into money that will be his own and that he can handle with out any terms. The mortgage part of the story is well explained in the New York Stores double page aJ. elsewhere in this paper. where there is repro duCcd an explanatory letter from simon oberfelder to Mir.
