Myrtle Point West Oregonian It Wt Hot. Some wretch, who evidently delights to see mankind sweltering in perspira tion, played a rascally practical joko on about two hundred passengers who were in the waiting room of the Staten Island ferry.

A Rival of the Toaemlte. In the vast Sierra wilderness far to the southward of the famous Yosemite val ley there is a yet grander valley of the' same kind. It is situated on the South Fork of King's river, above the most ex tensive groves and forests of the giant sequoia and beneath the shadows of the highest mountains in the range, where the canyons are deepest and the snow laden peaks are crowded most closely together. It is called the Big King's River canyon or King's River Yosemite, and is reached by way of Visalia, the nearest point on the Southern Pacific railroad, from which the distance is about forty-five miles, or by the Kear sarge pass from the east side of the range. It is about ten miles long, half a mile wide and the stupendous rocks of pur plish gray granite that form the walls are from 2,500 to 5,000 feet in height, while the depth of the valley below the general, surface of the mountain mass from which it has been carved is consid erably more than a mile. Thus it ap pears that this new Yosemite is longer and deeper, and lies imbedded in grander mountains than the well known Yosem ite of the Merced. Their general char acters, however, are wonderfully alike, and they bear the same relationship to the fountains of the ancient glaciers above them. John Muir in Century.
