There was some discussion as to
the right of the mayor to make this
detail, and Commissioner Oehlert of
fered a resolution that the Chief and
Lieutenant Belts take alternate
tricks at the station house and do
away with the necessity OF appoint

station house. This resolution was
defeated and the plan now in opera

at all times but does not have TO
remain at the station house for speci-
fed hours, will remain in effect.
The selection Of an officer to fill
a vacancy on the force was not made
but the board decided to hold spe-
cial meeting on next Wednesday night
when they will endeavor to find a
suitable man.
Applicants for the position are re-
quested to write to Thomas A.

The report Of Chief Goods showed
that the order of the city had been

that there was a smaller number of
arrests than usual. Nearly all the
men on the force have completed

CREEPING CACTUS.
Curious Planta That VIII Travel
Across a Desert.

Curious Planta That VIII Trave!
Across a Desert.
1.-THE isolation Of the desert lowlands
of Lower California, combined with
alterations Of long continued droughts
and heavy rains, has resulted In the
development OF the richest and most
extraordinary desert flora in the
world" says z W. Nelson in the Ma
tional Geographic Magazine.
"Cactuses OF many kinds abound,
varying from giants standing with
massive futed trunks fifty to sixty
feet tall to little struggling stemmed
species too weak to hold themselves
upright. The fruit Of many of these
cactuses is edible and much sought Tor
by birds and mammals. They were
once one of the main crops Of the In
dams who lived in this arid region.
The cactus forests often form thorny
iupgles through which it Is impossible
to pass.
After months among these thorny
plants we supposed we had seen them
in all their eccentric variations OF
forms. One morning. however, While
crossing the Llano de Irais, in front
OF MagGalena bay. rode out from
dense growth of bushes into an open
area and pulcd up my horse in amaze
ment ut sight of the most eXtraordl-
binary OF them all. Before me was
great bed OF the creeping devil Cactus
which appeared like swarm OF gisan-
tic caterpillars creeping in all dlrec-
tons. These plants actually travel
away from the common center OF the
group, and l saw many single sections
twenty or thirty yards away from the
others. The part OF the stem resting
on the ground sends down rootets,
and the older stems die in the rear at
about the same rate as they grow IN
front, so they slowly move away from
the colony across the fats where they
live"

Scrivener was hit, stole second and

a lucky double over first and scored
when Lynch hit liner straight
through the left flelder's hands.
With one out in the sixth, Snowden
singled to center and stole second.
Walker popped out. Trenary singled

The visitors scored only in the
third when three singles and dou-

minutes, or rather it was case OF
