the types shown in G. T. Dazey's pop
ular play are well drawn and clearly
defined. With the possible exception
of Uncle Toms Cabin" no play on
the boards today has a cast of char
acters better known or more instantly
recognized on their first appearance
at each performance. "In Old Ken
lucky" has rapid action, exciting epi-
sodes, an idyllic love romance and
breezy humor and a strong, clear-cut
story. The pickaninnies, and there
are more than score of them in the
play, are an entertainment in them
selves. They sing, dance, perform on
musical instruments las a brass

which the various species of eucalyp-
Il are remarkable. and the great value
or the timber as substitute for oak
hickory and the other common hard
woods, these are the trees that are
being most largely planted. Forty
thousand seedlings of the sugar
gum'-Eucalyptus corynocalyx-were
purchased from nurserymen and set
out in the spring of the present year.
The federal bureau of forestry. in Of
fetal publications, discourages the
expectation of extraordinary profits
from eucalyptus culture; but, on the
other hand, the pioneers in eucalyptus
culture, who have been growing tim
Der for profit for a quarter of a CEN
tury or longer, exhibit statements of
their business that seem of more prac-
tical value than any amount of the
orizing. One conservative statement
is given by the owner of a large euca-
lyptus grove planted more than twen-
ty-five years ago. He says that he
harvests annually timber to the value
OF $3.50 from each acre, and that the
timber remaining becomes of greater
value each year, the natural growth
OF what is left more than compensat-
ing for what is cut. Groves of this
kind will continue productive forever.
with no diminution of the annual har-
vest, young trees springing up from
the old stumps, or being replanted. so
that the stand of timber is kent as
heavy as the land is capable of sup
porting to the best advantage.
Let us grant the contention - al |
though advocates of Eucalyptus cul-
ture will never do so-that San Diego
can never approach the record re-
ferred to. Suppose that the city for
est, when 25 years old, can do only
half as well, and can yield only S175 |
worth of timber to the acre. That
means that the annual harvest from

will be left profit that should go

pie of San Diego.-November Tech

HAD FIERCE
BATTLE WITH
A BIG BEAR

The Cottage Grove Leader this
week has the following story of a
bear fight, that reminds one of early
days:
On Thursday afternoon of last
week Lee Wetmore, of this city. had
terrible experience with a rather
large black bear in the Bohemia
mountains near the old warehouse
He was on his way to the Champion
mine, accompanied by a couple of fox
terrier pups, when he discoered the
bear near the road, and promptly
fired two shots into its body. The
enraged animal at once made a rush
for Mr.. Wetmore, who had fred his
last shell, but was not aware of the
fact, and waited for the bear to come
within a few feet of him. expecting
TO give it a dead shot, but when he
pulled the trigger there was no ex-
plosion, and he was left for a hand
to-hand contest with the brute. He
used the gun as a club, but was no
match for the bear, which dealt him
blow on the side of the head, its
claws cutting several ugly gashes
near his left ear, and one Just under
MS right eye, which felled him TO the
ground, after which it proceeded to
chew up Mr.. Whitmore in a fearful
manner. In an attempt to protect his
head and face with his arms, those
members We're virtually given up to
the animal, and were bitten and lac
Grated in a fearful manner. While
this was going on the pups mentioned
were doing what they could to attract
the bears attention in which they
succeeded in time, no doubt saving
their masters life. Being on slant |

a day to look over all the girls who
thought they had bright ewes and
wanted to go on the stage. With the
manager of the company and the gem
eral stage director, Mr.. Gates Dre-
pared for the final effort. Nor was
TINS eIIort unrewarded. Nearly three
hundred women and girls of all sorts
ana sizes presented themselves. each
one prepared to prove that her ewes
were the brightest ever seen. There
were eyes of all sorts, shapes and
colors, most of their owners abso-
lutely useless to the manager. but
out of the lot the required dozen were
found and Mr. Gates was at peace.
A census of the eyes selected for
the chorus shows that but seven pairs
are blue, while nineteen pairs are ab-
solutely black. Three girls have light
brown eyes, while the orbs of the
eleven others are dark brown. Grew
comes next with five pairs, while two
pairs are classed as hazel. One pair
are OF deep violet, one pair are unde-
niably yellow, and one girl brides her
self, more than on her good looks or
her singing voice, on the fact that
her eyes are positively green. The
fact that there are thirty-three pairs
OF dark eyes to seventeen pairs of
light ones, leads Mr.. Gates and his
associates, all of whom now declare
themselves to be experts on glowing
optics, that as a rule dark eyes are
more scintillating than light ones, a
consolation that will probably be
agreed to by all dark-eyed women.
but may find some opposition from
women whose eyes are classed as
light.

BRIGHT EYES" AND A BEvY
OF BRIGHT EYED GIRLS
AT THE GRAND TONIGHT

Finding a chorus for a musical play
of girls that can dance and sing as
well as attract the eye, is a matter
that any theatrical manager will ad-
nit is very difficult The great vogue
of musical plays of late has exhausted
the supply of regular chorus girls,
and every season it is becoming
harder to find girls who can ade-
Quately fill the places, in spite of the
many recruits from society and other
walks of life. But when it becomes
necessary to take into consideration
in addition to the usual requirements
the eyes of the girls selected the task
seems almost an impossible one. Yet
Jos, NJ. Gates, the discoverer and
producer of Three Twins" has ac-
complished this. When Mr. Gates got
ready to produce Bright Eyes"
new musical play by the authors of
"Three Twins" which will be seen at
the Grand Opera house, Friday night.
October 9th, he decided that the la
dies OF the chorus, in order to carry
out the name of the play, must be
possessed of unusually bright eyes. So
when it came to selecting the girls
the brightness of their eyes was con-
sidered as possession fully equal to
beauty or the ability to sing and
dance 1t took Mr.. Gates weeks to
select this chorus and at times it
seemed impossible of accomplishment. |
After he had looked over every avail |
able girl who applied for a position
or who could be heard of at the agen- |
cies he was still short about a dozen |
of the fifty required Finally in des-
peration he inserted advertisements
in all the New York papers appointing

San Diego, in the extreme south

to inaugurate a great forestry enter
