THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1895 ALONG THE COAST. Coahuilla Fire Dance at the San Bernardino Fiesta. WEIRD SCENE AT NIGHT. Squaws Unite in a Gutturza! Chant While Bucks Cut Grotesque Capers. STAMPING OUT THE FLAMES. Strange Religlous Performance for the Delectatlon of Carnival Guests. SAN BERNARDINO, CAL., Sept. 17.— The Indian -d by about 100 braves of the Coahuilla tribe drew a crowd of 10,000 to the ampl ater this evening. By far the finest spectacle was the crowd itself. Mo 1alf were ladies in holi- day attire. multitude was seated tier upon tier in a perfect circle over 500 feet in circum topmost bench at the height of twer feet from the gronnd, over ther f alternating American while the covering was Twelve arc brightness to the e the crowds were gathering, endid Mexican military band of its very prettiest in a musical and Mexic a bl lig! orty squaws—young, old and middle- d—sat on the ground and chanted a onotonous dirge in a minor key with un- 2 pitch and volume of sound.

The most showy ornaments were | long plumes of pampas grass. The body | ad to feet was colored, many spotted othersa glaring red, but all painted. dozen or more of the group were of ma nificent physiques. All were barefooted. After the preliminaries, which lasted half an hour, forty sticks of cordwood were | brought in and lighted. When the fire | had reached a good biaze the clectrfci | ike young fawns, others striped, A lights were turned out. The scene was weird, indeed. The bucks circled around the flames with a sort of jumping-sidewise step, the squaws varying the hitherto monotonous chant into caden In the center stood an old chief with gray beard, wearing a tattered over- | coat and a dirty white turban.

The Famous Desert Queen Bought by a Denver Syndicate. SAN BERNARDINO, CaL., Sept. 17.— The Desert Queen mine was sold to-day to a Denver mining syndicate for $145,000. The mine was owned by James McHaney, W. L. McHaney and Mrs. C. sister. The Denver bonded six adjoining mines, owned by the | same firm, taking thirty days’ option.

Celebration of the Fiftleth Anni- versary of the Worthy Couple’s Marriage. SANTA BARBARA, Car., Sept. 17.— The golden wedding of the Rev. Samuel B. Bell and wife was celebrated by a large gathering at the house of Mrs. Milo Sawyer last night. Many prominent Eanta Barbara people united to do honor to the pair who had concluded a happy | journey of fifty years together. | Dr. Bell has been for nearly half a cen- tury prominent in theological, literary and | educational circles of the West. He| settled in Oakland in 1852, and through his efforts the first Presbyterian church in | that city of churches was built. He gerved several terms in early Legislatures of this State,in both Senate and House, and was the chairman of the first State Republican convention.

T PROTEST OF Begin a Campaign Against the Proposed Paving Schem SANTA BARBARA, Car., Sept. 17.— The Woman’s club, an influential Santa Barbara organization, comprising about 100 ladies, held a meeting to secure an ex- pression of opinion on the street-paving proposition, now under discussion by the City Council. This proposition, which involves the plan of paving twelve miles of graded streets with a strip of asphaltum down the rounded middle and two other separate strips along the curb, with intervals of dust or mud between, is in imminent danger of being rushed through the coun- cil, an endeavor being made to accomplish this by a suspension of rules. Citizens have made vigorous and repeat- ed protests, and now this club of women, many of whom are large property-owners and taxpayers, has resolved to draft a pe- tition asking the Council to refrain from calling the bond election proposed for this doubtful experiment, and the women of the club are making an individual canvass for signatures. WOMEN. P Wedded in Trinity Church. SANTA BARBARA, Car., Sept. 17.— Henry Livingston Center and Susan War- ren Innes, New York people, who have for the past six months been residing in Santa Barbara, were married in Trinity Church this noon, the Rev.

Dodge, is now in the insane asylum. Mrs. Dodge and her son are the unhappy vic- tims of a recent attempt at suicide, which elicited the sympathy of the entire com- munity. Mrs. Dodge is 61 years of ageand helpless to aid herseli 10 any appreciable extent. She has been kindly cared for by various individuals. She was not made aware of the application to the board, the action being purely voluntary on the part of the petitioners, The board referred the matter to Supervisor Kinsella with in- structions to provide temporarily for Mrs, Dodge and to report to_the board at its regular meeting in October. District Attorney Martinelli referred to the recent decision on the game law or- dinance and suggested that the board con- sider the passage of a new one. He was directed to draw up_a suitable ordinance and submit to the board at a future meet- ing, when the matter will be considered. ey TO THE ARCTIC IN A CANOE. Remarkable Trip of a Daring Spokane Explorer. SPOKANE, Wasg., Sept. 17.—8. N. Mal- terner, the well-known sportsman and ex- plorer of this city, has justreturned from a trip down Athabasca, Slave and Macken- zie rivers to the Arctic Ocean. He was only about six weeks on the way, making the entire trip, over 2000 miles, in a birch- bark canoe, all alone. Without a soul within 100 miles of him, he stood at the mouth of the middle channel of the Mac- kenzie River and saw the sun shining brightly at midnight. Malterner tells an interesting story of his trip. He had no cther object in view than pleasure and ' curiosity, and the details of the remarkable trip that he made—the first of the kind ever attempted by a white man_alone in ncanoe—wifi probably not be given to the reading public. e Peculiar Suit at Santa Rosa. SANTA ROSA, CaL., Sept. 17.—Marcus Rosenthal has cominenced a peculiar suit in the Superior Court here. Itis a claim of $3100 against the Austin estate, of which Rosenthal is executor. The charge of $3000 is for services prior to the death of Charles Austin. The amount was included in a former claim filed against the estate by Rosenthal and rejected by Judge Do:s:uny. ‘the charge of §100 being al- low ALONG ‘THE COAST. Governor Budd Fully Recovered From His Illness. LIFE ON THE POLLIWOG. The Executive Matches His Skill Against Italian Fishermen. DODGING THE POLITICIANS. Will Be Able In a Short Time to Resume His Dutles at the Capitol. 8TCCKTON, CaL., Sept. 17.—Oscar Mar- shall, the only companion of Governor Budd on the Polliwog, other than Mrs. Budd and Miss Todman, has returned to the city for a few days. He says: “The Governor is a well man, and if he can avoid catching a cold I think he will return to Sacramento in a few weeks in better health than he has enjoyed in a long time. I left him down below Antioch, but he changes his position on the river and upper bay daily in order to evade re- porters and politicians. About the only company he has are the Italian and Greek fishermen, and they can hardly believe he is the Governor from the way he climbs around their boats, cracks jokes and tries to outfish them. I do not think he will %o to Klamath Hot Springs or to Tiburon, as he is having a good time where he is. I usually go ashore and get the papers and he reads them carefully, but nothing of a political nature is ever mentioned on the boat.” “What does he think of the action of the Railroad Commission .on the rate ques- tion ?”’ asked a reporter. “I never even heard him mention it,” replied Mr. Marshall, smiling. ‘Harbor Commissioner Colnon is the only man who has met Governor Budd since he left Stockton. Colnon had about an hour’s audience when we were off Antioch. We kept out of the way of everybody. Ithink the talk of the Governor going to Tiburon was only a ruse, but there is no telling ex- actly where he is now, as he is alwayson the move. Governor Budd will be in Sac- ramento in a few weeks, and up to his ears in work.” JOHNSON PLEDGES AID. Ready to Work for Stockton’s New Govern- ment Building. STOCKTON, CaL., Sept. 17.—Congress- man Grove L. Johnson arrived here to-day and spent the day viewing new Stockton, with President Buell of the Commercial Association. A largely attended meeting of the asso- ciation was held this evening for the pur- pose of deciding upon some plan for secur- ing an additional appropriatisn of $250,000 for the postoffice building. Congressman Johnson advised the association todo little talking, pass few resolutions and go to work. Work, as he termea it, was for every business man whoisacqueinted with a member of Congress to secure his aid and make personal appeals wherever possible. Senators Perkins and White had promised to aid the proposed bill and the officials of the Treasury Department were also friendly. All that stood in the way was the members in the nextCongress who would try to make records for economy by cutting appropriations. He also suggested that )fajor Heuer’s supgon to the project of improving Stockton Channel be gained, as that would be half of the fight. President Buell was empowered to ap- point a committee of five to take charge of the *‘campaign,” and Congressman John- son pledged his aid on both matters. ST T STOCKTON BIMETALLIC LEAGUE. Speakers of National Reputation to Be Secured. STOCKTON, Car., Sept. 17.—The re- cently organized Stockton branch of the State Bimetallic League will lose no time in entering upon the campaign for the education of the people on the money question. Judge Joseph H. Budd, the Governor’s father; ). A. Plummer, J. H. Barney, Charles Light and Niela Mac- quarrie, the executive committee, have rented Pioneer Hall and will hold meet- ings from time to time, which are to be addressed by sgueakcrs of national reputa- tion. Phceebe Couzins has accepted an in- vitation to address the league at some future date. e e NEARING THE STANISLAUS. Sixty Teams at Work on the Valley Rail- road Grade. STOCKTON, CAL., Sept. 17.—Contractors Dunn and Rush had sixty teams at work to-day on the Valley Road line, ten miles from the city limits, toward the Stanislaus River. To-night the crossing of the Valley Railroaa with the electric line on San Joaquin street, which has been made by the Globe Iron Works of this city,. was placed in position. The work is being done at night, in order to interfere with travel as little as possible. CLOVIS THE TERMINUS To Be- the Distributing Point for a Gigantic Lumber- Carrier. A Great Flume to Convey Timber From the North Fork of the San Joaquin. FRESNO, CaL, Sept. 17.—Clovis is likely to become the terminus of another gigantic lumber-carrier and give the Val- ley Railroad another 3000 cars of lumber perannum. Wealthy lumber men of Grand Rapids, Mich., are in the enterprise. The White-Friant Company has the matter in charge and has secured 20,000 acres of the best timber land in the neighborhood of the North Fork of the San Joaquin River. If the great fortunes which have been piled up by the money kings of this country could be traced to their source it would "be found that the primeval forest furnished the principal revenue that had enriched these sons of wealth. At this time the forests of the East are being utterly denuded and this source ot wealth nearly exhausted, while the mountains of the West, which were originally supposed to be of no value except for their mineral resources, are now found to possess vastly more riches than the silver and gold taken from the mines. The sequoia gigantea are well known to the. mountain traveler, but there are few persons to-day with any just concevtion of the immense treasures stored away inf these splendid and almost limitless mountain forests of sugar and apple pine, superior redwood and oak. these' flumes the Iumber is easily and quickly floated down to the teeming vil- Jages and po?ulous cities that are now dot- ting our valleys and plains, and its trans- rtation is thus rendered rapid and cheap. }E‘?le last of these flumes already completed cost in the neighborhood of $1,000,000, and comes forty-two miles out of the Sierra Nevadas, from a vast forest of merchantable timber, to the thrifty town of Clovis, lo- cated but ten or twelve miles from the geo- graphical center of the State, on a branch of the Southern Pacific line, and on the survey of the Vallefv road. This flume has a lake in the mountains into which millions of logsare dumped and through which they float to the mills, where they meet gang saws and are con- verted, as if by a single stroke, into lum- ber, and at once pass into the waters cfjthe flume and are run rapidly down 1o the | terminus, where they are again converted | into material for the construction of houses and every variety of useful com- modity—indeed, the tree from its fall from the woodman’s saw or ax scarcely stops in its rapid movements until it is ready for the joiner's plane or carpenter’s square. The number of men employed at the mills at Clovis, in the mountains and along the line of this flume, shows it is one of the | greatest industries of the nineteenth cen- tury. In this lumber field numbers of horses and the old-time oxen are still em- ployed. By tapping these flumes the San ¥ran- cisco and San Joaquin Valley Railroad will secure for transportation nearly the entire output of the Sierra Nevada Moun- tains throughout Central California. ‘When it is remembered that one of these | flumes sends out 3000 cars per year some estimate can be made of the magnitude of this lumber trade. e gy A SACRAMENTO HOLD-UP. Electric Car No. 59 Again Boarded by Masked Men. SACRAMENTO, CaL., Sept. 17.—Two men whose faces were covered by white handkerchiefs boarded car 59 of the elec- tric street line at Twenty-first and Y streets, near the city limits, this evening and robbed the conductor of $7 in small change. This is the same car that was held up last week and the robbery occurred at the same place. ‘When the men boarded the car the mo- tor man, having reached the terminus of the line, was sitting in the car eating his | lunch and the conductor was standing | with his back to the door, when they were | confronted by a medium-sized man who | covered the conductor with a small, rusty- | appearing pistol. The conductor, seeing | the uselessness of resistance, handed over all his change and the robber sprang from the car, joined his companion who had been standing on the ground covering the two car men, and both rapidly aisappeared over the levee. Emgca sl Suit for Insurance Money. | PORTLAND, O=., Sept. 17.—The Oregon | Railway and Steam Navigation Company | has filed suit in the United States court | against the Liverpool, London and Globe | Insurance Company for nearly $37,000 on a large elevator and other property de- stroyed in Albinalast September. The de- fendant has not yet made answer. SMALLPOX AT CARSON. Five Well Defined Cases In the Stewart Indian School. The Institute Placed Under a Strict Quarantine by the At- tending Physiclan. CARSON, NEv., Sept. 17.—Five well de- fined cases of smallpox have been discov- ered at the Stewart Institute, where about 200 Indians attend school. Dr. Lee, the attending physician, has placed the school under a strict quarantine, and to-day told the attendants to leave now or wait until all was over. The attendants were badly frightened, but decided to stay. The first indication of the disease ap- peared on an Indian from Long Valley, Cal., who had just returned to school from a summer vacation. e RO SUE A FRESNO MONGOL. Officers Bring Action for Damages for Malicious Prosecution. FRESNO, Car., Sept. 17.—Policemen P. A. Canfield and George Matheson to-day filed suit in the Superior Court against P. Kong, a Chinese merchant of this city, for $6000 damages for malicious prosecution. Some time ago the officers made a raid on Kong’s place in search of a Chinese lot- tery. In their search of the place it was alleged that they had broken in two doors. They were arrested for malicious mischief on complaint of Kong. The case was tried before a jury and the policemen were ac- quitted. Several Chinese witnesses testi- fied that they saw the policemen ki¢k in the doors. he officers swore that they had not broken down any doors, and claimed that it was a conspiracy on the part of the Chinese to get even because the officers were trying to stop the lotteries. The seven lottery companies oi Chinatown raised a purse to prosecute the two offi- cers. But now one of the Chinese wit- nesses has a charge of perjury pending against him and Kong has the suit on his hands with prospects of having heavy damages to pay. WANTED AT LINCOLN. Charles McGowan’s Reported Suicide Was Only a Blind. SACRAMENTO, Cax., Sept. 17.—Some days ago a coat and vest were found on the river bank, with a note, signed ‘“Charles McGowan, Philadelrhia.” in which the writer declared his life had been a failure and bade g;))od-by to all. Chief of Police Drew yesterday received a letter from Lincoln, Placer County, in which the writer says McGowan is wanted there for defrauding a hotel-keeper, and that he is also wanted in Pennsylvania for robbing a postoffice. The writer thinks McGowan left the clothing and note on the river bank as a blind. BAN Deposi From ANY BOY - MAY HAVE A K ACCOUNT OF $100, §75, $50 ted in Hibernia Bank.
