Think of the exhilarating joy of an uninterrupted slide of fifty miles, through the great forests, along the brinks of precipices and down rugged canons, amid the wild- est and most picturesque scenery to bo found in the country—fifty miles with- out a break. Such a thrilling experience has been made possible by the recent eompletion of the great Pine Ridge lumber flume, says a writer in the San Franciseo Chronicle. No other fluma surpasses it, and it is doubtful'if any other is equal to it in length and gradceur of tho scenery passed through in a journey from the summit of one of the high spurs of the Sierra Nevada to the plaius beneath, fifty miles distant. The flume has just been completed to the little town of Clovis, twelve miles north of Fresno, and is fifty-two miles in length. Flumes for floating lumber are 8o numerous in California that description is superfluous, except to say that this is in general like all others, consisting of boxes shaped like the letter V, and on trestles varying in height from a few feet to a hundved, depending on the charac- ter of the country traversed. The flume starts at Stephenson creek, one of the tributaries of the San Foaquin river, at an elevation of nearly 6,000 feet above , and, after a winding course of fifty-two miles, it términates in a vine- yard twelve miles out on tho plains be- yond the foot of the mountain. The V-shaped trough carries the water which floats the lumber. The Stide, The flume-boats, in which the rapid journeys are made down the flumes, are Simple. They are made the same shape as the V boxes of the flumes. The upper end of the boats are closed by a board nailed across, but the iower end, which points down stream, is left open to let out the water which spldshes over the sides of the boats from time to time. One, two or three short boards are laid across for seats, depend- ing upon how many areto make the journey. A carpenter can manufacture one of these boats in less, than half an hour. The boat is meant for only one journey, for none is ever hauled back for another voyage. Only little prepar ation is necessary for g trip of this kind, and 50 cents will buy @nough lumber for the boat, and a man is.a poor carpenter indeed who cannot make his own vessel. The trip is made with,but little danger. The principal trouble,is, when once started, there are gomparatively few places where one can stop, T'he current, is generally so strong and so rapid that it makes landing impessibie, and the voyager can only sit; still and let the boat run. The first ride down the Pine Ridge flume, from start to finish, was made in the winter a few days a; Many per- sons had passed over different parts of the distance as the flume was being built, but no one had made the whole distance without stopping. ® The boat was made the evening before at the reservoir on Stephenson creek, the eastern terminus of the flume, and everything was prepared for an early start, and ample provision was made for all emergencies, even to taking along a shotgun and rifle, the former for killing quail and birds, the latter for bear or any large game that might be seen, for the flume during more than thirty miles of its course passes through a wild re- gion of mountains, hills and forests, abounding in game from the smallest bird to the largest animal. The person who has mot had the experi- ence of a ride of that sort is apt to imagine many vain things, among them being the false theory that he can shoot things while he is being shot down the narrow trough at the rate of from four to twenty miles an hotir. But it only requires one trip to relieve him of all these notions, and ho will appreciate the fact that birds and Hears have little to fear from passengersin a flume boat. After a cold December night was passed on the bank of the reservoir, with a pile of shavings for a béd and an overcoat or Ywo for blankets, the start was made. The mountains, in that high altitude, wero frosty, the ground frozen hard and the ice nearly thick enough to bear a man's weight. f"nl‘ some days the weather had been clondy, but on this particular morning the sky was clear and beautiful and the tops of the giant pines were touched with the gold of the rising sun almost before one on the ground knew that day had come. Useless Traps. The guns, traps and equipage were placed in the boat, and when all things were ready the boat was lifted into the flume and was held there until the two passengers could get aboard. The sides of the flume were covered with ice, caused by the cold night and the splash- ing water. Scarcely had the boat touched the enrrent befove its edges also were slippery with ice. That was no matter, and ina second or 8o the boat, with the two passengers, was swecping down the trough of waten aud trees were spinning past so rapidly that many seemed like the spokes of a swifily turn- m'f’ wheel, 5t he passenger does, not vealize just how he gets into the hogt nor how he makes the start. It ilulx over before he has’time to think. Hohas an ungoverr able desive to clutch at things, but before he can do so he by gone, and the speed mulkes him catehghis breath and that is all he can do,..'ho stact has been made and it mujt be o race to the finish. If one u.u.nfi Attempt to stop when the speed is so gigat it would re- sult in something serious. Even if he should see a broken plagg abead of him, where the flume hadggone ovor u precipice, he ecould nat,ptop, but must IS THE BEST, N\ B RELIEVES PROMPTLY a Chilcago Limited. .. OMAHA & 87 LOUIS.

Such a mishap is not likely, but it is possible. Thore are places here and there where the flume passes over ground moroe nearly leve £ and. ilie cucrent is eorrespondingly - slow, and a person can spring out and let the boat go; or he might, when safely out, run along the foot plank, and, by holding the boat, bring that to a stop also. But in the stenpost places a man could not run fast enough to keep up with the boat. Refore the passenger has time to look back or forward, or to ask any question, he has run the first half-mile and is sweeping around a curve which opens to his vision a sight not pleasant to con- template. The flume passes between two walls of rock, and then outalong the face of a solid rock forming the side of Stephenson mountain. If oné can look down while speeding across this giddy height he will see benedth him Jjust how far he has no power to estimate “the canyon of the creek, deep down in the shadows of morning, almost dark with the depths. The boat scems 4 bo flying through space. It is but a fno- ment till the giddy place is passod and the boat drifts into a mass of gloomy pines growing against the side of the mountain. Peritous Places, The place just lelt bahind was one of the most perilous on the flume. In building the structure the workmen could not find footing, and were let down by ropes from thee brink of the cliff above, and thus they bung while with hammer and drill they cut holes in the solid rock and made anchorages in which to hang the flumt. Now it rests there, perhaps solid enough and proba- bly safe enough, but one has strange feelings as he sits in a narrow boat and makes the voyaze in mid.air like a bird, not knowing when some one of the cleats will snap and let the whole structure plunge into the depth beneath. On that morning there were many and large icicles hanging under the flume, They could be seon while thé boat passed around curves, thus bringing, perhaps, hall & mile of the flume into vie For several days the weather had been cold, and as the flume leaks all along large icicles are the result. Some of thewm weighed not less than 100 pounds each, and they covered ull the timbers beneath the box, often giving the structure a fantastic and fairy-like anpearance. Sometimes the ice was piled up from the ground to the flume, twenty ov thirty feet in columns and arches. having the appearance of marble of intense white- ness. If the water is permitted to flow all winter in the flume there might be danger that the ice would accumulate till the weight on some of the high trestles would be sufilcient to drag the entire structure down. After a four-mile run the boat sud- denly emerges from a forest of pines and firs, and those in the boat experience the fecling of a person in a balloon, when the world, seems to drop away from under him. The flume runs out over a high trestle, and at first glance nothing is visible underneath. There seems to be nothing but unfath- omable space sheer down. This is near the turn, around the point of Stephen- son mountain, and the vast abyss be- neath, which had seemed bottomless, is the canyon of the San Joaquin river, down, just how far beneath, would be hard to guess. It looks not less than 3,000 feot: it may be le But by lean- ing over as the boat hurries by one can catch a momentary view of the white foam of the river, like a narrow ribbon of white, in the vast depth of the can- yon. Not a sound is heard. The plung- ing of the river over the sunken rocks that fret its channel cannot send even a murmir up to the summitof the cliff from which the passenger in the flume- boat looks down as he hurries on. Nearly everywhere in sight the canyon is dark at that hour in the morning, but at two or three places the sunlight pours through gateways.in the cliffs and the beams fall on foaming floods, silent in the distance, and gild the blackness of granite cliffs which hang like walls 1,000 feet above the river. Rushing Through the Timber. The passenger: cannot look twice at the scene. The next minute he has passed again into the timbor; then comes curve after curve around arocky moun- tain, and aiter a little the canyon which had seemed so. nearly bottomiess has been left behind. The first twelve miles of the journey brings the traveler to tho" western face of Pine ridge, the last drift of snow disappears and the stately groves of sugar pine and -arbor vita begin to give place to tangled thicket of manzanita and chapal'rul and the starved and stunted digger pines and gnarled jack oaks take the place of the tamaracks which grow about tho reser- voir at the starting place. Climate suc- ceeds climate as the boat rushes down from ridge to ridge. * Pagsing around the mountain at the head of Dry creck Fresna City, forty- five miles distant, is scen, with the morning sun_kindling the metal roofs and glaneing from the dome of the court house so far away.that it seems only a speck of light. The sun by this time has also risen above the ridges and the warmth falls gratefully upon the chilled and benumbed passengers in the littlo boat. Although the roughest parts of the mountains arve left behind after the head of Dry ereck is reached the flume has still some of its steepest grades below that point. The declino s not uniform, from a hardly perceptible o as much as one foot in ight. Down the steepest placos Ihl_ boat rushes ataspeed which ap- Jaches very nearly the limit of safety. \\'llhm five or six miles further the flume sweeps round the brink of a high, bold granite cliff, and two miles awuy and 2,000 feet below the little village of Toll House bursts into view. Green fields survound it, even in winter, but it has a forsaken appeavance, for ity days of prosperity are numbered, It was for thirty years a stopping placo for team- sters hauling lumber from the” moun- tains, but the flume will bring the lum- ber down hereafter, and the teams will never return. Such is the life and death of towns, In the Foothills. When the flume has passed Toll House it has entered the foothills, and the ex- citement is over. The way leads for twenty miles down a narrow valley, and the passengers in the hoat have nothing to alarm them, as they glide ng so smoothly and peacefully that if they shut their eyes they would probably fall asleep. ‘The speed grows less and less as the plains are approached, and now and then a_little vineyard or an orange or- chard is seen, standing in pleasing con- trast with the ice and winter coldness of the mountains, now 4,000 feet above. From the foot of the hills the dirtance to the terminus of the flame at Clovis is about twelve miles, and the speed les- sens all the timé. Before the end is reached the flume boat passes over fine vineyards, in which, even so late in the soason as December, large quaotities of grapes load the vines. The end came at last, and so slowly was the little boat moving that the touch of a hand was sufficient to bring it toa stop, and the romantic ride of fifty-two milas was done. It had occupied six hours, aud the boat in that time had car- vied its passengers from u region of winter, with its ice and snow, into a country where grapes siill loaded the vines. LIFE BATTLE WITH WILDCATS Desperate Encounter with Two Members of the Feline Family. THEY WERE AFTER A’ DEER'S CARCASS A Texas Hunter Défends His Game and s Savagely Set Upon—A Rough and Tumble, Knife and Tooth Contest. A doctor of Harold, Tex., was recently awakened iate at night by J. B. Pickert ing, a prominent ranchman of this county, who, in u fight with a couple of wildeats, had reived several sorious injuries. Mr. Pickering's story, as re- lated to a correspondent of the Phila- phia Times, is as follows: 1 had been bunting along Beaver creek, and had killed one or two brace of wild turk when [ ran across the trail of a deer. My dog, Don Cuwsar, struck off the road at a gallop, and I followed, knowing that tho no was not far distant, and presently saw the deer break out of a clump of mesquite trees with the hound close to its heels, It would turn every now and then and lower its horns ab the dog, but run on nevortheloss. I whipped up my horse, and, when I was within rifle range of the deer, fired and succeeded in killing it. It was a fine bucl nd I had some difficulty in getting it into the back of my cart, but by the dint of tugging and hauling T at last got it in, and contented with my day's sport sct out for home. The deer had been shot in the side and was bleading considerably, leaving a little trail of blood behind us in the road. I had gone about six miles, T sup- pose, when I heard what [ at first took to be a scream from a woman or a child, but when it was repeated 1 knew that it must be that of a wildcat. “I paid little attention to it, however knowing that there were such crentures in the country, never supposing that [ should have any trouble with one. Presently the cry was heard again, this time & good deal nearer, and seemingiy just behind me. It was growing lute, and when I looked back [ could seo noth- ing of any animal. 1 went on. getting into the belt of timber that skirts the bed of Dr, and here I heard the scroam so near that it startied mo con- siderably, especially as it frightenad my horse so I could scarcely hold him. I whipped up and tricd to get ont of the timber as soon as possible. =~ All at once my horse gave a spring that nearly upsel the cart, and narrowly escaped throwing me out, and lpoking back I saw that there had leaped from a treo just in front of us a large animal, steiped and of the make of a (omestic cat, but with a short, stiff tail. Tho creature paused for a moment to look at us, then sprang to one side and was lost in the woods. [ now hoped that we had seen the lastof it, but, even as I thought this, there was a sudden fall of a body behind me, und turning about [ saw the cat _had leaped "into The cart and had landed right on the deer that lay there.

I threw up my avin and warded it off, at the same time aim- ing my pistol, but the shot I fired went wide of the mark and the first thing I knew the cat caught me by the collar of my shirt, in an attempt to sieze my throat, and I rolled backward into the carton the bleeding body of tho deer. As I did so I'saw, as ina dream, some- thing spring from a_tree near by onto my horse's back. and the animal leaped forward with a shvill neigh of terror, and with the cat still clinging 'to'me [ shot clear out of the cart into’ Ve’ road.
