M'NAMARA JUDGE
A MICHIGAN MAN
HON. WALTER BoRDWELL is SON
OF A WOLVERINE FARMER,
GRADUATE OF
OLIVET.

Los Angeles Nov. 7.-Fifty-six years
ago, on Feb. 26 1855, To be exact, a
Michigan farmers son opened his eyes
for the first time upon the world. and
so far as Is recorded had no comment
to make. 1t is probable that he ac-
cepted things as he found them. There
are grounds for this deduction.
Thirty three years later. on oct IT.,
1888 this same farmers boy stood be-
Michigan and said that he would con-
duct himself in the practice of law in
accordance with "the laws made and
provided" in the state.
Exactly twenty-three years from that
date. to the day, the same farmers
son sat before crowd gathered in

mia versus j. j. Mcnamara and James

Born and Bred in Michigan.
If the mental poise of Walter Bord-
we'll Judge of the superior court OF
Los Angeles. was at all disturbed in
opening this trial of world interest
he gave no sign of it. 1t is probable
that the contrary was the fact.
For that is Bordwell's habitual at
titude. Back of it is quiet, work
day philosophy which accounts largely
for the mental equilibrium which has
been marked characteristic of Rord-
well since the trial of Jim Mcnamara
opened There's a reason for this
philosophy.
Almost from babyhood the problem
of making the most Of things as he
found them" has been forced on Bord-
well. when he was lad of nine
years, back on the farm at Eckford,
Calhoun county. Mich, he lost his
father. Two years later the farm was
sold. He went with his mother to
Olvet, i'm Eaton county, Mich.
Went to olivet College.
Young Bordwell decided TO go after
an education He went through the
preparatory school and entered tie
Olivct college. He finished his fresh
man year, then turned his face toward
business.
His ambition was to carve n niche
FOR himself among the financially great.
He left Olivct college and entered a

VEGETABLE oDDITY.

The Sanuela is related botlnically TO
the Arboroecent yucca, or Joshua tree,
of the Mojave desert, and TO the Span

the semi-arid region of the southwest.
However, in appearance ii resembles

by the Indians in basket making, mat
weaving and for similar purposes.

MANY PRECIOUS STONES.
Gems Of All Kinds, From Diamonds To

Gems OF All Kinds, From Diamonds To
Agates Found In U. S.
1t may perhaps be surprising to
many people TO learn that the United
States produces almost every variety
of precious stone-from diamonds
down The precious stones produced
in this country last year had value
of $295,797, against $534,3SO in 1909,
according 20 an advance chapter from
Mineral Resources of the Unite0
States on the production of gems and
percious stones in 1910. by Douglas r.
Sterrctt just published by the United
States Geological Survey. The largo
decrease in the output of a few Of the
more important gem minerals-tour-
maline, turquoise, chrysoprase, ETC.
says Mr. Sterrett, readily accounted
for the fall i'm the value of production,
AS an instance of this decrease i'm pro-
duction. about s 1-2 tons of rough tur-
quoise, were produced i'm 1910 as COM
pared with more than II tons in 1909.
All the diamonds produced i'm this
country i'm 1910 came from Arkansas
ana 0dllIoInld, the oulDul OF AIhdllfdE
amounting to about 200 stones. Sew
eral diamonds were found i'm Califor-
Mia last year, one of which weighs
about half a carat and another be-
tween 1 "a and carats. The latter is
a brilliant clear, fawless stone, with n
tnge of yellow.
Colorado yields some very pretty
lagates and some are being successfully
handled i'm the tourist trade but a
number of these stones sold each year
at the summer resorts of the state
are imported from Germany, where
they have been polished. Others are
native stones polished abroad, although
some are polished in the United States
In Montana a sapphire weighing
over 1-2 carats has been found. This
stone when discovered had very much
the shape of a rough diamond crystal,
on account of which il had very great
rcfractive power.
Rediseovery Of Lost Mines.
In addition to discussing deposits of

Mr.. Sterrett also describes foreign

others are sending in their support

young charges To study nature and
/ fight for the protection of the native
birds. An advance guard of 10000
| children in the southern states has al
ready been formed for this purpose
| by some coo teachers and with the sup
/ port of the schools and the necessary
| fighting funds. the Audubon workers
hope To establish forces Of thousands
more in every section of the United
States.
As ammunition for the proposed
child host, millions of pamphlets tell
ing of the habits and uses of Amerl-
can birds will be sent out from Audi e.
hon headquarters here. Armed with
these and drilled i'm the study of ma
ture, the boys and girls are to skir-

and providing shelter for the starry

from thoughtless destruction by pot
hunters. In the training that is in

Though our annual meeting will
