Judged hy our stand ard!', they have very little to :al. :and that little is far (run heing ql Vtfie hest quality. The country it too poor ' lo yield mueh (or thi iroarket. . The meat we had wa ihrouglit in from afar und had been .frozen and thawed uutillt flavor was gone. - Suet, a beefsteak as ,can get, here, for Jour, bits would .cost about $4- down .theire,' if.it .could be had at all. The land there is uo old and lean that com mercial fertilities have to be used .in large quantities, and Strawber ries and vegetables are so strongly iimprcgnated with potash (rom the fertilizers that I couldn't eat them. There is no grass for cattle, only weeds growing wild, and the i:ows :are wretchedly poor in fact keep ing with the whole country. Winds blow worse there than in San Fran ,cisco and keep the light soil parch- .ed and the air full of dust much of ..... the time. The white people down there would better abandon the icountry to the negroes. "From my experience with birth jaees I think the Chinese are away : . ahead of. the negroes. ' They nre better to' get along with and better ior the slate." ... : .Alter Mr, Johnson shall have re covered his normal weight, he will .resume his business of collecting forest seeds for the United States :and foreign" governments. He hue a considerable order to fill for the Chilean Government, seeds of lum ber trees, and will go to Southern Oregon to begin the harvest. He gathers the cones in large quanti ties and either dries or shells the seeds .on the gromnd or sends them to Astoria .and there gets the seed ,frora the cone. He packs the seed carefully and labels the packages -with the true name and sends them to the governments that order them. Nearly every European government is a patron of Mr. Johnson, as well m all the large botanical gardens. The foreigners have been so frequ ently imposed upon by getting stale seed and seed not true to name, that they are very cautious and demand the most indubitable' as surance that what they buy is what they ,' ordered.-' Mr. Johnson hag been in this business so long, how ever" his customers have learned 5 trust him. The frt order came t'irougli the Department of State at Washington, and our Government became, in a manner, pledged, to see that the foreigners did not get swindled. Mr. Johnson gathers not only the seeds of lumber trees; but also of all other trees and plant desir-1 ed, that are native to this country, his field beinn' California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho mid Montana. He sashc has lianilleil.yOOO Vari eties of seeds and plants. " The lily-bull) industry alone is quite important, a3 many as 100,00Q having been shipped by him in a ,nle season to his foreign patrons. He rinds his tield vovy. rich in bul bs 'H plain's, anil there' Li an active .demand fir them abroad. All thi time Mr. Johnson is en-, gi.?ed in special wink for the I)e srtflt,'f "Wie-IaUuiier,, in ex amining mid reporting upon forest reserves aud other forest lands and (fees under i'oj-iy.is conditions of growth.

"I've traveled for thirty years in the employ of various individuals and firms," said a gentlemen in the lobby of Ja Detroit hotel the oilier evening, " and you'd natur ally think I was up to all the tricks, but I got beaten p, few weeks ago with my eyes ide open, I was in Chicago, and while I j;is writing a letter in thu reading-room two other men, both of whom looked liked country merchants, got into a dispute as how to spell the word 'successor,' One contended that there was only one V in it while the other hung on for two. After wrangling awhile they appealed to me to decide it. A minute before they did so I'd ha .o let a thousand to one that there w;is a double V in the word, but a luiiiulo alter I was not at ail su e.

"I could not well refuso," said the traveler, "and I took the two tens and put them into nny vl pocket.' Ten minutes later the bet was decided in favor of the double '8,' and as I handed the two tens to the man who had won he asked me if I couldn't accoraoda e him with four fives. I did so, und shoved the tens back into my pocket, and that's the way I was beaten. The tens were countcrfit silver certifi cates, and hud I looked, at them closely I should have; spotted them." "And about the rrlen?"'was ask- ed . "Oh. they got but soon- after the transaction, of course. They were a couple of fellows working the ho tels (or suckers. It wasut such a bad swipe to lose 120, but I pre sume they warked the racket five or six time a day. No f don't (eel so bad about tho loss of the money, but, what makes me tired is to rea lize that after beating the old Louisina lottery and about 50 con fidence games, including three card montc, I should be taken in and done for by a simple twist of the wrist. I'm not so certain yet how 'successor1 is spelled, butf. I'm sure that 'sucker' has only one 's' in it." ; ' Trespass Notioj.
