As the average length ‘ | | | | | of acar is thirty-seven feet this annual output of sugar, if loaded on a cc train of cars, would require a trai seven miles long.

H. Larg, the most prominent real estate | dealer in Salinas Valley, told me that from Pences to Moss Landing, a distance of twenty miles, there could be purcnased in all, outside of the lands of the German Colonization Association of Cahfornia, not to exceed 500 acres. He said also that the price oi this land referred to, was in no case less than §100 per acre, the vrice generally ranging from $100 to $250 per | acre. | | | “‘Claus Spreckels has purchased recently there about 8000 acres, in prices ranging from $90 to $150 ver acre. His investment in land alone amounts to about $800,000. “I know of no point in the State of California where it is so difficult to buy real estate, where so few ranches are morigaged, and the ranchers so weil-to-do as in Salinas Valley. Itis expected that there will be a large influx of settlers | thither within the next few months, Jargely so influenced by the erection of the =ugar factory. “Within the next few weeks, theGerman Colonization Associatlon of California will have irom various points in the East, settlers on their lands not fewer than 150 | families. Already fifty or sixiy f:milies | have left various points from the East and are expected to arrive there next Sunday. Altogether, my visit to Salinas was most satistactory, and convinced me that at least there is one point in the State of California where the wave of prosperity bas reached.” Park Music To-Day.

KRART IS A PROFESSIONAL The Crack Amateur Cyclist Violated a Rule of His Class. He Accepted Money From the Santa Rosa Race Meet Promoters, Programme for the Races at Vallejo October 17—Fresno Wants the Racers, Robert M. Welch, chairman of the track racing committee of the California Asso- ciated Cycling Clubs, has declared Charles A. Kraft of the Bay City Wheelmen a pro- fessional for violation of certain rules of There is no redress Saturday evening in this city, and the board will probably uphold Mr. Welch’s position. Some time before the Admission day races at Santa Rosa the track-owners | there decided to hold an amateur meet, principaily to test the speed of the track, ana L. W. Burris, president of the Santa Rosa Wheelmen, wrote and asked Kraft tocome up and ride an unpaced mile. Kraft replied that he would do so if Bur- ris would vay the expense of a man to take his place at his work, an item of §2 a day, which Burris agreed to do. Kraft went there and rode a mile in 2:15, which so pleased Burris that he asked Kraft what his entire expenses for the trip were and offered Kraft §10 to defray them, which Kraft accepted. This was a direct violation of the amateur rules, ana when it leaked out, as such things do, Mr. Welch had no other course but to declare Kraft a professional, which he has just done. As an amateur Charles A. Kraft was one of the most remarkable riders in the world, Except at unpaced work his rid- ing on the track never gained him fame, but on the road, behind good pacing, time after time he shattered world’s records. He has gloriously upheld the colors of his club twice in the annual 100-mile relay, which he won for the bay City Wheelmen both times, and twice in the 20-mile asse- ciation race. 1n 1896 he beat all other men in this race four minutes, and in 1897 he placed the race to the credit of his ciub by a good margin, lowering his own previous 20-mile record. Shortly after, when E. A. Bozio went after Kraft’s record and low- ered it considerably, Kraft again went at it and that time put it down so low that it has never been touched since, and is the world’s record for tweaty miles, 48 min- utes 56 seconds, made August 15 last. Krait's career as a roadracer is now ended, however, as there are no events for felt in the amateur team ot the Bay City ‘Wheelmen, however. Charles J. Birdsall of the California Cycling Club has filed a complaint with the racing board that he has not received the prize won by him at Santa Rosa r cently. The matter is being investigated. It seems Charley won a suit of clothes, which was displayed in a window with other prizes. When he went to get i he found the suit was for & man of medium size, and as the worthy scion of tbe house of Birdsall is over six feet tall, there wasa discrepancy in the trouser legs and coat sleeves that was awkward at best. A suit of longer dimensions would cost more, which Charles dia not feel justified in put- ting up and the meet-promoters declared they would not. The racing board has been appealed to to adjust the difficulty. The Arel Bicycle Club of Vailejo has prepared the following programme of events for an amateur meet to be held on Sunday, October 17: Two-thirds of & mile, invitation, for all who have ridden a mile in competition in 2:18 or under; half mile, open; one mile, 2:25 class; one mile, novice; match race between Bruce, y, Winchall and Melvin of Vallejo, best two In three mile heats. Entries can be sent to S. J. McKnight, secretary, Vallejo. Fresno will hold a meet on October 17 for professionals and amateurs, if the “pros” will ride for §60 purses. Chairman Welch of the racing board went to Sacra- mento yesterday afterndon, where all the riders now are, to submit the proposition to them. The Fresno people ought to hold their mest on the 24th, however, as most of the amateurs are billed for Vallejo for the 17th, and would willingly go 1o Fresno the following week. Syduey B. Vincent of the Bay City Wheelmen will attempt to lower the ama- teur one and five mile paced records at the Olympic Club Wheelmen's meet at the Velodrome on October 3. The highest po ever attained by man was that reached by Cox and Glaisher, the aeronauts, in 1862, being 37,000 feet above the sea. A MEDAL FOR A HERO. Another Californian has begn honored by having conferred upon him the *‘Congres- sional medal » given for distinguished deeds of bravery. The fortunate recipient is Colouel W. R. Parnell, army and one of the few survivors of the famous ** retired veteran of the United States Light Brigade’” at Balaklava. The deed for which he received the honor was performed during the Indian war of 1877 at White Bird Canyon, Idaho. The troop was retreatiug through the canyon pursued by a much stronger force of Indians. While crossing a marsh a trooper’s horse was killed, and its rider was left in the tule swamp. Colonel (then Lieutenant) Parnell, with & few men and in the face of & very heavy fire, returned and rescued the man. The loss in Troop H'was fourteen killed and one wounded out oi fifty-four officers and men. Colonel Parnell entered the regular army as second lieutenant in 1866, and was moted to first lieutenant in the same ye: The medal presentea b{ the national colors from a “*The Congress 10 Captain William R.

Fletcher Bredin Gives Distances, Rapids, Portages and Climate. Details of the Trip and Interesting Facts About the Cost of Guides and Necessaries. W. F. Bredin and party arrived on the 9th of September at Edmonton, N. W. T., from Fort Wrigley, near the mouth of the Mackenzie River, having made a survey of this new route to the Yukon. They left Edmonton on their journey down on distance of 100 miles, thence by water in a sturgeon-head boat, 45 feet over all, 11 feet beam, costing $220. Her cargo was about 12,000 pounds. A guide was hired at Athabasca Land- ing to take the party through the rapids. The story of the trip is tersely told as fol- lows: *Left Athabasca Landing on July 29, Water at a good stage. Drifted to Grand Rapids in two and one-half days. Portaged boats and loads at Grand Rapids, taking three days’ hard work. Portaged the load about 100 yards at the Cas- cads Rapid and let the boat down with a line—all the rapids are dangerous with- out a pilot. Ran from the foot of Grand Rapids to McMurray in two and one-balf days. “Drifted down to Lake Athabasca, but were delayed by head winds; took the wrong channel in entering Lake Atha- basca and had to row and sail eighteen milesacross the lake to Chipewyvan; from MeMurray to Chipewyan nine days. “AtChipewyan had to hire a new guide to take them over the Smith rapids. Paid him forty skins, equal to §20 cash. From Chipewyan to Smiths portage it took one and a half days, drifting and sailing. At Smith Landing bired Souzie Boulieau as guide over the rapids. Paid him fiity skins, equal to $25. There are three port- ages over which boats d cargoes must be hauled, and one rapid, at which half the cargo has to be taken out, Three and a half days were occupied passing over the rapids. The three portages are about half a mile each, and one of them is over arise of 100 feet. Block and tackle are nsed to haul the boats. Reached Fort Resolution on September 1, a littie over a month from Edmonton. From Fort Resolution to Fort Provi- dence they had a slow and siormy pass- age along Slave Lake, the waves rising twenty feet. They sed Hay River, then Rocky Point, and in a day and half sailed into the Mackenzie River. The party reached Fort Providence in another half-day, on October 1,a month after leav- ing Fort Resolution; arrived at Fort Wrigley, 134 miles, in iwo and a half days, reaching this point on October 8, seventy-five days from Edmonton. The party willfully lost about twenty-one days hunting, prospecting or trading, which brings the total journey down to tifty-four days. The Mackenzie remained open at Fort Wrigley during the whole of October and closed finally at that point on the 191h of Novem ber. the Mackenzie closes first at the Arctic coast and the 1ce backs up all the way to Slave Lake. The fall season was very fine last year iu the arctic. There was very little snow until December -‘and no " reaily cold weather until New Year. The climate is exactly similar on both sides of the range of mountains and there is no difference to speak of in the climate of Alaska and the Northwest. However, in places the ground cever thawsout. They struck eter- nal frost a foot below the moss. The coldest weather was 58 be'ow, in January. The Indians belong to the Hare tribe of the Siave nation and are cowardly to an extreme degree. The Nehanines and Secanines occupy the eastern side of the mountains, while the *'Louchieux’’ occupy the Ynkon region. Bredin ascertained from the Indians that the statement made by B. Pelon was exact, i. e, that there is a ¢ ommunica- tion between the headsof the Scewart or McMillans rivers, affiluents of the Yukon, and the Peel River, on the eastern slope of the range. March last was very beautiful in the arctic. April was also very mild, and the snow was all gone by the midale of May. Its greatest depth has been t¥oanda half feet. The Mackenzie opened on May 23, and the streams on the western slopes began 10 run on May 25. A great number of people from the United States passed Bredin on their way to the Yukon,via the Mackenzie, and they were all reported having reached there grow lettuce, radishes, spinach, celery, cabbages, turnips, beets and potatoes. Che latter do not always grow to matur- ity. Salt from Salt River is used in all the northern country. White fish is plen- tiful, they weizh about four pounds apiece, asd over 100,000 were taken out of Siave Lake during the past season. On the lower Athabasca the trackers walked for over 100 miies on petroleum tar oozing out of the river bank.

He Wanted the Records in the Case of Captain Charles A. Jenks Altered. Justice of the Peace Groezinger ap- peared in Judge Conlan’s court yesterday morning in the role of counsel for Captain Charles A. Jenks of Troop A, N. G. C. The Justice had been asked by friends of Jenks to interest himself in his behelf, and believing that he saw a chance to do so effectively he startled Judge Conian by informing him thata mistake had been made in entering the judgment rendered against Jenks. Secretary Holbrook of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals jumped to his feet and forcibly objected to the Justice appearin- in tne case, as he was di-qualified under the law from prac- ticing as an attorney and was making a less are you qualified to pose as an ob- jector. 1f you represent the defendant, why is he not here with you? Your ac- Like most Northern rivers, | tions are unwarranted and undignified, jand I shall not recognize you in the future, even if you come here with the de- fendant.” The Justice claimed that he had a right | to practice in any court of competent | jurisdiction, and said he only wanted to see that the records were correct in view of the appeal to the Superior Court. “Well,” said the Judge, “it shouldn’t make any difference to you how they are entered. You are meddling for some un- known reason with a matter in which you have no lezal right whatever to interfere. You are apparently using your endeavors to secure the freedom of a man whom I regret under the law I could not have sentenced to a heavier penalty.” The Justice was considersbly taken aback by his reception, and retired after intimating that he would be heard from again in the matter. The Justice claims that Judge Conlan in passing sentence on Jenks did not specify that the defendant should remain in jail until his fine was paid at the rate of $1 per day, not to exceed six months, for the nn- expired portion of the sentence, but Ser- geant McDonald in entering up the record so specified it. In the appeal bona it is stated to be “'§500 or in default six mon{ns in the County Jail,"’ and he has witnesses who will swear that that was the form of sentence imposed, which he contends is illegal. Judge Conlan is of opinion that he passed a legal and binding sentence. He inflicted tbe maximum punishment and faw no reason why he should change it. { Besides the record was presumed to be correct, and as it was in legal form the point was not weil taken. * * Z » »* »* » » * T R B TR IS Big Rocker in solid oak and birch - mahogany.
