SANTA BARBARA, Cal, Oct. IL.

cisco and special detectives for the
Southern Pacific railroad and Sheriff
Stewart, OF Santa Barbara county,
are engaged today In an investigation
OF plot reported by Stewart to dyna-
mite President Taft's special train,
20 miles north of here. The secret
service operatives are said to have
evidence that the guilty person has
1ed to the mountains. where he Is
hiding.
Both Sheriff Stewart and Special
Agent w. F. Wines, Of the Southern
Pacific, assert that there Is complete
evidence of the plot They were busy
on the case today. after having spent
"a hours at the scene OF the alleged
attempt.
They declare that the plan was to
blow up a long bridge over which the
presidents special was to pass, early
Monday. At midnight Sunday, Mex
lean watchman saw a man running In
the gully below the bridge. He called
to the man, who increased his pace
and disappeared. after the watchman
had fred several shots at him.
The watchman investigated and
found twenty one sticks of dynamite
hidden in q section of one OF the steel
piers near the middle of the bridge
A@song fuse hung from the side Of the
pier. He also found Is sticks OF dyna-
mite in the next pier, similarly ar
ranged.
The watchman notified Sheriff
Stewart and Special Agent Wines. the
latter OF whom was on the presidents
train. They removed the dynamite
and instituted an investigation. The
officers declare that the explosive was
so placed that the dynamiter could
have started the fuse after seeing the
! presidents train approach and could
have had time to escape. There was
sufficient dynamite to have blown the
bridge and train to bits.

PEKIN, Oct. 17.-All passengers
trafec between Pekin and Tien Tsln
has been suspended by the govern
ment, which Is using every train cut
OF the capital for the transportation OF
troops. The closing OF the railways
has caused a panic here, for Thousands
of the lesser officials and business men
were arranging to send their families
away.
In the absence Of reliable informa
ton the widest rumors are current
and the unrest among the people is
increasing rapidly. One report tina;
may have the most serious conse
quences Is that the rebellion has been
caused by Japanese intrigues. There
is good reason to believe that this
story originated from government
sources and Is being circulated fol
the purpose of. alternating popular sym
pathy from the rebels.
The acceptance Of the viceroyalty
of Human and Hu Peh by Yuan Sh
Kai has not had the quieting effect
that was looked for. The people SEE
in 1t merely a successful attempt or
the part Of the government and the
viceroy is being bitterly attacked as
a traitor to his countrymen.
The government seems at least tC
be awakening from the stupor In
which the first news Of the outbreak
plunged It. Twenty-four troop trains
have left Paotingfu and the sixth army
division will be entrained today. How
far, however, the troops can be de
pended upon remains very doubtful
Gen. Yin Tchang, the war minister
who Is personal command Of the
army, has frankly admitted that ht
has no confidence In the soldiers.

 one of the most picturesque ways of hunting the wolf. perhaps, is that which one may see in the vest of Asia, on the bleak KirghiZ steppes. The Tartar tribes are wonderful horsemen, and they ride after the wolf in very large parties Not only are dogs used to overtake the quarry but because fleet wolf may get away from them, eagles are used being trained tO help the hunter in very much the same manner as falcons in olden times The great bird sits on the hunters wrist until it is let loose; then it scars into the air. sails after the quarry, and swOops down upon it. Its duty is not to kill, but to bother" the wolf. by Tapping it's wings in it's face and driv- ing its sharp claws into the animals back. Such hunting makes capital sport for the riders, but apart from this. wolf hunting is a real necessity in those parts. the brutes being. far too partial to the lambs and kids of the Tartar's flocks.

Wells-Far also operate on this lire. and this is an important convenience to farmer and business man.
 Glendale has mercantile houses with ample stocks and in sufficient variety tO supply all ordinary demands of all the fat countryside. There are three groceries, three hardware stores. three lumber yards. one bank, two meat markets. three blacksmith shops, one livery barn. one feed and wood yard, one second hand store, one harness shoe bicycle repair shop. one plumb ing and tin shop. one dry goods and clothing store. one jcweler. one hotel, two restaurants, two bakeries, two barber shops. one confectionery and news and drug store.
 There are two practicing physicians.
 
 one picture show and two fire insur- ance agencies.
 The following denominations have church edifices and conduct regular services: Church of the Brethren DunkardD, Methodist EpiscopI and Baptist. Five teachers are employed in the grade schools
 The Glendale Union high school was organized during the past year and comprises the Glendale, Johnstone and Peoria districts. The trustees fitted up temporary quarters and the regu- lar high school course is being taken by gratifying number of pupils.

if he doesn't want to work so hard OF all the time, this country will come to its own and not before.
 The growth of Glendale has been SO natural and continued that her people are hardly aware themselves of the extent of it until the results are itemized. New industries and inn provements have come in response to evident demand So they are at once 9 fair index of business conditions and an earnest of future growth.
 The Glendale Ice company com pleted its twenty ton plant early iu the spring and with ample storage capacity was able to supply the ice for the two hundred and fifty cars of cantaloupes that were loaded this season besides supplying ordinary household and commercial demands. It has delivery routes in the sun- rounding country for several miles and ships extensively to points on the Santa Fe north and west. They con- slider it good business to maintain the quality of the product at the highest possible point.
 In connection with the ice plant the company also operates electric works which supply Glendale with light and power. This part of the enterprise while operated on linn tied scale is sufficient for present de- mands within the town. When power from the reservoir becomes available it is planned to extend the system so as to cover all the surrounding coun- try which demands the service. A cold storage pant is also one of the additions planned for the future.
 The Glendale water works has greatly improved and added to the system formerly in use. A twenty thousand gallon steel tank erected on 9 sixty-foot tower fournishes de- pendable supply for domestic pur- poses and fore fire hylrants which have been erected by the town to cover the business section. Mains have been laid to all sections of the town where the demand justfies the installation. and extensions will be made whenever required Water rates as well as charges for electric service are fixed by the town council at the beginning of every year.
 The new depot of the Santa Fe is 8 creditable structure and supplies ample facilities for the business transacted which requires the services of two men beside the agent, and four men during the cantaloupe and been season

But a few years more of develop ment and the ten miles of the state highway northwest will see a home on every ten acres or less. Then Glendale may be considered merely an appendage Of the capital. But just TOW this town, of the fruitful Cave Creek Wash is tenaciously jealous of her individuality and proud of her growing eminence.s And there are reasons-any number. No need to grind out laborious array of facts and figures A careful look about and comparison of conditions will rrove the abounding faith the men of Glendale have in this section Of the valley.
 The other day a man from the east who had come to investigate another section remarked. That Glendale country out points-two to one" And he had drifted out that way pretty much by accident Now the average Glendale resident would be the first to appreciate any attempt at invidious comparison with any other section of the valley.
