California interests are now agitating the building of roads into the district in order to divert the prospective trade of the locality from Southern Oregon into Northern Califor- nia.

TACOMA, Nov. 8.—James J. Hill, presi- dent of the Great Northern Railway, has at last been convinced that. the railroad department of the Young Men's Christian Association work is a good thing and, as a consequence, plans are being drawn by the company’s architects for three build- ings to be erected at three division points | —one in Montana and two in Minnesota. | This information is brought to Tacoma by W. M. Parsons, State secretary of the California Young Men’s Christian Associ- ation, who arrived this morning. Referring to the development of the work on the Great Northern, Mr. Parsons told of the way in which ™r. Hill was convinced as to the efficiency of the Young Men's * Christian Association for the men in the service of his road. Cyrus McCormick of reaper fame, T. B. Walker, the lumberman of Minneapolis, and C. J. international railroad secretary of Young Men's Cleristian Associations, called upon .Mr. Hill, who said to them in substance: “Géntlemen, 1 am glad to see you per- sonally, but I may as well tell you at the beginning that I have no use for your work for my men.” Mr. McCormick asked him to at least listen to a statement concerning the re- sults of the work on other systems. With- in an hour Mr. Hill consented to the erec- tion of buildings at three division points, provided Mr. Hicks could get the men themselves interested sufficiently to prom- ise to join the assoclations when organ- ized. At the point in Montana within a very short time all the railroad men.in the place except two agreed to_join the association if established. Similar suc- cess was had at the other places. LOSS OF WATSONVILLE'S HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING Handsome Structure Destroyed by a Supposedly Incendiary Blaze. WATSONVILLE, Nov. &—The Watson- ville High School building, one of the most modern educational bufldings in this section of the State, was destroyed by fire early this morning. The fire is sup- posed to have been of incendiary origin. It started in the principal's office on the floor below the laboratory. After com- municating to the laboratory room the flames spread rapidly, owing to the ex- picsions of the liquids and chemicals. The loss on the building is $25,00, cov- ered by $15,000 insurance. The loss on li- brary, fixtures and children's school books will be $5000. The School Trustees will take immedi- ate steps toward the erection of a new building, which is likely to be built of stone and brick and will exceed the cost of the destroyed structure. COMBINE OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GROCERS Form a Corporation With the Object of Eliminating the Middle Man. PASADENA, Nov. 8—J. D.

It will have a store in Los Angeles and order goods in carload lots from the East for distritution among members of the com- pany.

Nov. 8.—Tne people of Te- ama County are congratulating them- selves upon the fact that a large beet sugar factory is soon to be built near Teharfxa. The speculation and experi- ments of the past year appear to have crystailized into action that will have the factory complete in time to handle the beet crop of next season.

Special Dispatch to The Call. VICTORIA, B. C., Nov. 8.—The steamer Adelaide, which arrived from the Orient to-day, brought news of the loss of the 2000-ton Japanese steamer Tsurohika Maru, owned by Ohkura & Co. of Tokio. All hands were lost excepting one man of her crew of fifty, who was washed ashore on the wreckage at Fukuye and who gave news of the disaster. After taking on coal at Moji, the Tsuro- hika. cleared early on the 6th for Keelung. On the morning of the 7th she went ashore on Mejima island, Goto Archipelago, and became a total wreck. The cargo consistell of two locomotives for the Formosan Rallway and a large quantity of miscellaneous goods. The ves- sel was bought in February, last, for 130,- en. Thye scene of the wreck Is an island ahout fifty miles from the Fukuye, Coto island. There were no passengers on the steamer. ‘Lne torpedo buat destroyer Mu- rakumo left Sasebo for the scene of the disaster. The Sasebo naval station au- thorities were awalting intelligence in the signal house at Ose, Goto island, before dispatching further assistance, when the Queen Adelaide left Kobe. — Mexican Aristocrats. The cultivated Mexican, priding himself on his “educacion,” looks for its manifes- tations in the person who claims his friendship and intimacy. He insists on good breeding among his own people, or they may not pass his threshold; all the more is he likely to insist that the for- eigrer who would visit him be a man of pci'sh and with the ability to say and dc things the right way. A Mexican of excellent family was say- ing to me the other day that going to an interior state he had sojourned at a ha~| clenda where the men there assembled, on engineering and other matters, were not of his kind, and “so I did not eat at the same table,” for they were not ‘“‘ca- balleros,” or gentlemen. “I demand brains and good breeding in my asso- ciutes, or I live alone!” This gentleman speaks English perfectly and reads our best authors and he is equally well grounded in other foreign larguages. He has none of that snobbish pride that offends, would not hurt an- other’s felings and does not insist on nicety of dress, but does demand of his associates that fine breeding and perfect tact that characterize people who have in- herited the courtly traditions of old Spain. It struck me that he went too far, that the technically trained men he met in the country were quite good enough to asso- ciate with, but to all objections he would reply: “They were not of my kind!™ A "Mexican lady of the old nobility of the country, wealthy and of long resi- dence abroad, witty, of linguistic accom- | lishments and much social experience in g:urope ag at home, said: “I do not invite foreigners to my table, not even diplomats, for they are too criti- cal of the service, and here you know that it is impossible to have such well- trained servants as in France or England. I have been hurt in my feelings at my own table at the quiet amusement of guests when something went Wwrong, some blunder in service. And, as for- eigners will make no allowances for our domestic shortcomings, I close my doors to them. In Paris I should entertain for- elgners, for there I could be sure of my servants. But we Mexicans do not want to be laughed at, and that, perhaps, by people who are not.at home, in their own courtries, of our class. One does not know who they are or what is their origin. The lower their extraction the greater their presu ion here.” —_———————— Definition of Mugwump. The late Secretary Evarts liked fun, and there was a dry wit in his public utter- ances at times that nearly convulsed those who clearly understood his meaning. It was almost impossible for him to avoid being deep, even in humor, and many a | good fling at political opponents was lost because he talked above the heads of his audlence, or because his sentences were too involved. At the time when the Mug- wu!‘llpfi were just beginning to show their teeth he delivered one of his long political speeches from the stage of the Grand Opera-house and in 'the course of it re- marked that he believed the Republican rarty need not fear the Mugwumps, as the atter were only a lot of ‘‘marsupials.” Some 3500 men heard the word, and after the meeting groups got together to discuss the meaning of it and its application. Some went home to look in their diction- aries, while others called on Mr. Evarts for an explanation. ‘‘Marsupials,” said he, “are born extremely small, imperfect and quite helpless, and have to be carried in pouches on the bellies of their moth- ers.”'—Pittsburg Press. The Forbidden Fruit. A fruit supposed to bear the mark of Eve's teeth is one of the many botanical curiosities of Ceylon. The tree on which it grows is known by the significant name of “the forbidden fruit,” or “Eve's lrple tree.” The blossom has a very pleasant scent, but the really remark- able feature of the tree, the one to which it owes its name, is the fruit. It is beau- tiful and hangs from the tree in a_pe- Guliar manner. Orange on the outside and deep crimson within, each fruit has the appearance of having had a piece bitten out of it. This fact, together with Mohamme- dans to represent it as the forbidden fruit of the Garden of Eden and to warn men against its noxious properties. The mark upon the fruit is attributed to Eve.

During the Nevada State Falr at Reno, held from the 16th to the st of last September. the Vulcan Company had one of its plants on exhibition just outside the Fair Grounds and treated all ores offered for treatment for test runs.
