Aa we glide along over the smoothe

most artistic clubs in the city. Turning

principal hunka, insurance offices, w hole

that the picture of the two gives a double effect; first, one sees a fair and
excellent picture of a pair of beautiful women and 2d, it is a relief map of North
ami South America. These two women are chisled from life on a Madallion and
are selected as types of American beauty. Miss Maud Coleman Woods, of Char
lotteville, Virginia, is the beautiful blonde who represents North America, and
Maxine Iilliot, the actress, is the beautiful brunette representing South America.
The two are clasping hands, in the act of uniting the Americas.

then croRHing the Huntley street bridge
to Hloor street and down Jarvis street
w hich are among the uiOHt faNhionable
street in the city, along Carlton and
College strtH-ta to Queen's I'ark, where
is one of the tuoat beautiful drives in
the city. Here was instituted the "Hut
ten Itaw" of Toronto, and on Saturday
afternoons bands of music played while
all that was styliah in vehicles and
prancing horms were brought out. We
soon come to the new Parliament build
ing, erected by the Ontario legislature
at a coat of l,ir0,(KK) and completed in
1X1)2. Here wo stay for awhile to in-
Bect this grand building which covers
over 7(1,000 square feet of ground. It is
of massive brown stone, and the cliarac-
teriatic feature of the structure is the
sculpture work. In the interior are
many corridois, flights of stairs, offices
and rooms; prominent among the apart
ments being the legislative chamber
where the laws of Ontario are framed.
As our guide conducts us through the
vast building we are struck with its
beauty and fine arrangements.
We pass along St. George street and
University avenue, upon which is situa
ted the armories and also Oagoode Hall,
where the highest courts of law in the
Province of Ontario are held. The guide
draws our attention to the Lieutenant-
Governor's house aud introduces us to To
ronto's four corners the Government
House, St. Andrew's church, old Upier
Canada College (now in ruins) aud a
hotel. They have been humorously
named "Legislation, Salvation, Educa
tion and Damnation."
Finally we return to thu hotel delight
ed with our trip, hungry but not tired.
The site of Toronto was originally very
marshy, and in consequence it was of
old called "Muddy York." The history
of the tow n is comparatively uninterest
ing until tho year 1812-15, when the

place was sacked and partially destroyed
by the Americana. Time, however, has
obliterated old scars, and the Toronto
of today shows no signs of that early
conflict.
The town was incorporated in 1834
and the name of York was dropied, and
the old name resumed.
At present there are 52,000 public and
private buildings. Toronto has advant
age over most cities, owning large tracts
of freehold proerty in the best business
centres, for which it receives a large an
nual revenue fiom leaseholders. The
yearly civic income and expenditure is
over $3,000,000 as an average. Tho as
sessed value on the property last year
was 1151,000,000.
There are 55 public schools and 62
kindergartens, employing 423 teachers.
Tlv total cost of these schools has been

put of 155,000,000. The exports of the
city amount to $3,084,000 a year, and
the imports to $17,731,000.
In taking an eastern trip for pleasure
and sight-seeing Toronto Bhould not be
overlooked ia the itinerary. It will al
ways remain as one of tho most pleasant
memories of the writer's eastern visit,
and were it not for the severe cold in
winter it would bo an ideal spot. There
is only one other objection to making
Toronto a home, and that is it is not in
the United States.
Belgian Hares In Lakeview.
The fad of raising Belgian hares for
market was pretty general all over the
Coast last season, but it has about died
out this year. Tho fad, however, has
just struck this section but we predict a
short season for them here. It is
claimed that it costs less to raise them
than chickens and are better eating.
Mrs. L. N. Jaquish of this place recent
ly secured a full blooded female Belgian
and a few days ago eight young ones
were found iu the nest. The hare is
very productive and the young are born
every mouth of the year except two.
From S to 16 is the average and it is
said w hen 1G are born the mother di
vides them into two nests away from
each other. But when more than 8 and
less than 16 are found in the nest, the
mother proceeds to kill off all but 8 so
as to have the proper size family.
Rabbits that are so particular as that
should be classed with the jack rabbits
so numerous in this county and all killed
off for lack of sense.
Coyote Scalps Presented.
Secretary of State F. I. Dundar issued
his semi-aonual statement July 31, show
ing the number of wild animal scalps
presented for bounties during the first
six months of 1901 ; also the number
presented every six months since thi
law of 1899, providing for bounty scalps,
went into effect, and the total so pre
sented, by counties, from February 18,
1899 to June 3, 1901. Every scalp re
presents the expenditure of $2, and the
total number of scalps presented during
the first six months of 1901, 21,719, cost
the state and tho several counties, in the
aggregate $43,438. Since the law went
into effect, 71,(S94 scalps have been pre
sented.the aggregate of the bounties
claimed by the state and several count
ies, being $143,388. For the last nix
mouths euding June 30, Lake county has
presented 1336 scalps, and the total pre
sented since the law went into effect was
5,485, while Harney county had a total
of 12,725, and Umatilla and Malheur,
each had 7,965 and 7,366 respectively,
tho only counties that were ahead of
Lake county.
GOOSE LAKE
FOREST
RESERVE
Land Frauds Extend to
Lake County from "
California.
The Forest Hescrve grafts it would ap
pear have not entirely beet stopped.
Recommendations not generally known
are being made constantly. While it is
announced that no more reserves will be
created until the law has been changed,
no one w ho is familiar with the work of
timber grahbera believes that there will
be a permanent interruption of the work
of securing control of the timber lands,
ays the Oregoniao. Speculators who
have hundreds of thousands of dollars to
gain by the creation of a forest reserve
have not as much regard for public
opinion as have Government officials
and the prediction has been made by a
man in touch with the timber land busi
ness, that the graft will continue to
have the countenance and aid of Federal
law.
In a apecial report made by Commis
sioner Binger Hermann on May 18, 1900,
there is a brief statement of the loca
tions of some of the proposed reserves,
though in some cases neither the loca
tion nor area are stated with sufficient
detail to permit of the boundaries being
defined. On page 3 of this report is the
following regarding proposed reserve in
California which will extend across the
line into Oregon :
"Reserve registered by Y. G. Kenney
an.'i GeorgLJLve)I-JakoiiUr.
Ore. A petition signed by 15 citizens
residing in the vicinity of townships 47
X. R. 9 and 10 W., and fractional town
ships 43 X., R 9 and 10 W., M. D. M.,
in Siskiyou county, California, praying
that said property be set aside as a re- -serve.
"Reports of Forest Superintendent B. -F.
Allen recommending that the above
described area be set apart as a forest
reserve ; also report by Forest Supervisor
Grant I. Taggart stating: 'I found that
there were large areas of timber land in
Oregon adjoining and adjacent to the
line that should be embodied within the
limits of forest reservations, notably on
and in the vicinity of the proposed War
ner Mountains and Goose Lake forest
reserve, and the Mount Sterling ant?
Cioabar Springs.'
"Supervisor Taggart directs to make
further careful examination of said town
ship and of the surrounding region of
country, with a view to ascertaining
whether the above described townships
embrace all the lands which it would be
advisable to include in the proposed re
serve. "Statement by Forest Supervisor N.
Langell, of Jacksonville, Ore., as follows :
'Effort has been made to create a for
est reserve on the Siskiyou range of
mountains known as the Cinnabar dis
trict. The people here are very anxious
to have that made a reserve so as to in
sure to the public the free use of the
mineral springs as well as protecting the
water supply.' "
A feature of thia portion of the report
that is worth more than a passing notice
is that clause of the above which says
that Taggart was directed to make a fur
ther examination in order to determine
whether the townships mentioned em
brace all the land w hich it would be ad
visable to include in the proposed re
serve, mere is in this an evident de
sire to have the reserve aa large as the
conditions will warrant. Somewhat of a
singular sound can be observed in the
following:
"Recommendations having been made
by William H. Mills, San Fraucisco,
William Thompton, Alturas, Cal., For
est Supervisor Grant I. Taggart, and
Forest Superintendent B. F. Allen, for
the establishment of forest reserves in
various localities in Northern California
and extending over the state line into
Oregon, instructions have been sent to
Supertisor laggartto examine and re
port upon the regions suitable for forest
reservations iu the northern part of the
state of California and across the state
line in Southern Oregon, directing him
to be 'careful to include, among the re
gions examined, the country surround
ing Mount Shasta, and also the region
Iving between Goose Lake and surprise
Valley.' ... 'It is also desired that you
will extend your examinations to in
clude the general region of country lying
between Redding and busanvule and
exteuding from township 23 N. to the
seventh standard parellel north.' -
