Ho also stated that though he could not attend to the matter in person, General Manager OM.rien would net in his place. It is encouraging that Mr. Harriman has thus expressed himself, and that Mr. O'Brien will be delegated to tako his jiluco on the committee ap pointed. This is really an important movement.

The average tenderfoot is not a cow ard. He siuiply lacks ranch experi ence. An frustration of this fact oc curred down In New Mexico several year ago. One day n pile looking, thin and sickly young man alighted from the train and put up at the lit tie adobe hotel nt Hernal Springs. The tenderfoot walked up to the bar and called for a bottle of soda pop. "'Tain't allowed to drink that sort o' stuff out hero," Bald a toughy. "What you want 1b a stiff drink o' red llrjuor. Mr. Barkeeper, set out the plson for this young feller." "You bare the best f nie," replied the tenderfoot, "and I'll have to drink the HtulT, but I hope the time may come when I can make you drink my choice of liquid." The tenderfoot raised tho glass and gulped down the whisky. Sandy bud had bis wny ulwut it. nnd he made no effort to comprehend the vague remark of the stranger. The tenderfoot left for a ranch down the Pecos the next day after the Incident In the saloon, and be was forgotten until one after uooa more than a year afterward a strong, lieu I thy looking young man rod up to the hotel on a broncbo, j dropped the bridle reins upon the ground and dismounted. Ho bad the up pea ran cc of a typical young man of tho range. Ills face was bronzed and his eyes clear nnd peuetratlng. "I owe a fellow a debt which I believe I will pny right now," the stranger said. No sooner bad he made the remark than ho walked off in the dlreetlou of Sandy, who had his gun in bis right hand and was firing It Into the air every few steps. The stranger ap proached Sandy, pulled bis gun and unceremoniously drugged the bully up to the saloon and led him in that fash ion up to the bar. "Get mo a pan of water nnd set It upon the floor," he said to the barkeeper. Tho order was complied with, Sandy standing there meekly, wondering whut was going to hnppeu to him. "Now, get down on the floor and drink water out of that pau like a dog," the former tenderfoot ordered. Sandy at llrst re fused, but wheu the stranger begau twirling his gun around on his fore lin ger and said the order must be obeyed the cowed fellow unlluibercd nnd lay down upon the floor and began drink ing water out of the pan.

Niehaus & Co. in a disastrous lumber yard fire lust nigl.t will amount to up to a quur ter of a million dollars. Starting from some unknown cause, the flumes gained such headway In the lumber yardB at Fifth and Brannon streets that it was impossible to save the costly stock of hardwood and the mills, which occupied the property. Aft ter a fight of four hours, the flames were checked and prevented from spreading through the lumber und plan ing mill district. F. Calhoun and L. Phoenix precinct aro market with peaches ity. H.

Pes 'lite the prohibition by the governineni of an official eelubratiun in honor ot the Silih birthday of Count Leo To! itoi, yesterday was virtually a holiday in Russia. The efforts uf (he govern nieiit to prevent any celebration hm served only to increase the entliusiasu f the people, and all classes are cele braling the anniversary of the birthday f the great Russian philosopher. All atlempts at formal demount rn tion have been suppressed. The gov mm. 'id has ordered every theater ti the rmpiro closed iu order to prevent anay demonstration by Tolstoi's ad mirers. Count Tolstoi is spending a quiet day nt his home at Yiumnva, Poliana.

Signs' orps men freely t press (ho belief hat Orvillo Wright, who shattered al records iu his three story making nor tplane flights yesterday, will be aid. to exceed by a wide margin tho re quiioinents of the war department. One oOIcial predicted that the Wright leroplane Mondl be able to make 4:' niles an hour. The matter of remain ;ng in the air fur a given length of times bothers no one now. since Wright "ailed last t'veiiinif for til! minutes nnd. l,"i seconds with perfect ease. f Orville Wright is the hero of the I lay and his claim to the title uf king 'f the air," though not nduinced bv I himself, is not disputed. Ho has re 1 congratulations from aeronauts! from all parts of the Knited Staten nnd Europe, but is calm and unassuming as Me has little to av except that ' the machine would do it. I the First Pony Express Nearing Sacramento. Cornelius One, ex-senntor from Cull fornla, ltd Is in bis uieiuofrs how the first "pony express" reached Sacra mento, Cal., long before the llrst trans continental railroad was surveyed: J ' loose who were there to witness It will never fovget the arrival of the first of these exprcsH messengers at Sacramento. It was an iteration of great rejoicing, u ml everybody, bigninl little, old a ml young, turned out to see the fun. All business for the time was suspended. Even the courts ad journed for the event. A largo num ber of the citizens of all classes, grave and gay, mounted on font horses, rot It; out some miles on (he line to meet l!u- Incumiug wonder. The waiting was not long. The lit- . tie rider upon his blooded charger, un der whip and spur, came down upon them like a meteor, but made not the! slightest ball to greet bis many visit- 1 ors. Then began a race of all that waiting throng over the stretch tm.U to the city, the like of which bus never been seen. It may have been rivaled In speed and confusion by mnne of tho cavalry disasters dining the war that presently followed, but the peaceful people uf Sacramento, 1 mil sure, never beheld anything of the hind before or afterward. The whole eiivahaile, tdmi'ihtg nnd cheering, some waving banners and bareheaded, tiding al (be top of their speed, dashing down .1 street, might have been taken, had It occurred on the plains for a bund of wild Co manclten, but the little mail eani.-, paid no intention to them and kept iu the lead."
