however those which occurred on their
frequent excursions up to the Valley
of the Giants impressed themselves
imperishably upon Bryce's memory.
How we'll he remembered their first
trip, when, seated astride his fathers
shoulders with his sturdy little legs
around Cardigan's neck and his chubby
little hands clasping the old mans
ears. they had gone up the abandon

THUNDERSToRMS SOUR MILK
Theory Held by Many People, but Au-
thorities Attribute Trouble
TO other Causes.

The season for thunderstornls is at
hacd and a good many farmers wives
will be concerned about the souring
of the milk. The theory is held by
good many that thunder will sour the
milk, but authorities say the souring
should be attributed to other causes.
They say that the souring is caused
normally by the acldity which results
from bacterial growth and sterilized
milk viii not sour during thunder

on ice. The probable explanation lies
In the fact that during the storms Of
this kind the temperature Is raised
sufficiently to favor the multiplication
of the milk-souring bacteria where the
temperature is not regulated by the
use of ice.

timber, he quietly moved south with
his Squaw creek woods-gang and join
ed the crew already getting out logs
in the San Hedrin watershed. Nor
until then did Bill Henderson realize
that John Cardigan had called his
bluff-whereat he cursed himself for
fool and poor judge Of human ma
ture. He had tried a hold-up game
and had failed; a dollar q thousand
feet stumpage was a fair price; for
years he had needed the money; and
now, when 1t was too late, he realized
his error. Luck was with Henderson.

came again to Sequoia one Colonel
Pennington. a millionaire white pine
operator from Michigan. From

tho tale of how stiff-necked old John
Cardigan had called the bluff Of equal

on Squaw creek, managed to make
fairly accurate cursory cruise of the
Henderson timber-followlng which
he purchased 1t from the delighted
Bill for a dollar and a quarter per
thousand feet stumpage.
No man is infallible, and In plan
ming his logging operations in the San
Hedrn watershed John Cardigan
presently made the discovery that he
had erred In Judgment That season.
from May to November, his woods
crew put thirty million feet OF logs
into the San Hedrin river, while the
mill sawed on a reserve supply Of logs
