(E. H. Rydall.) Washington Territory, 1b Ivate the Struthlo camolus, or Irlcan ostrich. Tho Idea lo ouch to produco ostrlcheB no se the idto Amorlcan tourlst3 ik to tin west nnd Inspect ordinary featured in tho toast cities. Perhaps this In lit northern point on tho b continent at which os- havo heen known to live, nd multiply. American os- do exist In Arkansas, ! and North Carolina, but (tho diero they really thrive nnd aro Arizona nnd California, ire tho siinscorched mesas ro- their native land nnd thoro Irnal luminary fiercely shines from dawn to dark most of after .the manner of tho Blumlnntor over tho dusty bvcred waotos of tho Sahara Soudan. If It was not for bximlty of tho Pacific ocean ola would bo another Snhnha ere tho ostrich would thous- ycars ago llkoly hnvo boon The ostrich has not yot dono tho United States; ho nr 1SS2 from Africa nnd im ply was relogntod to Cull- for the Importers wlooly that wci3 tho bodt stnto In Ion for the ostrich; and oven ere are loss than flvo hundred (3 In California, but In Ari- irhlch contains nn Inferior for the African ostrich ire nearly two thousand. fcutcments In tho Washington pr papers regarding this Seat- are most amusing to tho Bit ostrich farmer; tho thoo- ullfornla Is that the placo Is north for tho ostrich to ho n although tho report sayB kperlenced artist has spent six I looking for n doslrablo loca- t'orty ostriches aro to form t start, thus making qulto n exhibit for tho dolocta- itourl8t3; these nro to occupy Icres of cround. Thl In n an affair compnrod with tho farms of tho Drltish In South some of which occupy n ten mllca square. It was not until tho California ostrich experimented that ostriches thrive In such confined quar ters, producing after their kind, both chicks nnd feathors and at tho Bame tlmo forming a holy show for ,tho wollfed Amorlcan tourists con tinually loafing through tho New Palestine. It has proved, however, at tho expense of foather quality, for It cannot bo expoctcd that os triches immured for fivo years In a spneo fifty fopt by fifty can produco such fine plumage as those fleeting centaurs continually traveling across tho African dosorts. Ono of tho California fnrmors, finding this, pur chased two hundred acres of adobe land nnd sot up a breeding ostrich farm a3 well as his show Institution. Various misstatements occur In tho newspaper reports from tho north that tho farmers horo feel It thoir duty to correct, In Justice to thoraselves as well as to tho crodul- ous newspaper nnd other public. For instanco tho following. "Somo Idea can bo obtained of the coast of starting such nn enterprise when it is known that tho birds aro tho best that could bo obtained and coat from $1,500 to $2,000 upleco;" "tho best that could bo obtained" necessarily under tho state of tho art must como from California; but ostriches of adult ago and full elzo In California nro worth throo hundred dollars a pair, not two thousand dollars each, jvnluo of $250 a pound." British California have hnd forty chicks in ono year, btit it Is bolloved to bo more than tho Seattle climnto will produce. Unwearied In fabrication this nothern Munchausen goes on to say: "As the egg.3 aro worth from $100 to $125 a pleco and tho young birds from $500 to $1,000, tho Scnttlo ostrich farm will represent a good value when well under way." Well, it will bo a long tlmo under wolgh, for California ostrich eggs, frosh and newlnld aro worth nix dollars each and at that prlco sold to tho cookB of thajo palatial hotels that dot this bailiwick and feed so many Bilk underwear-covorod Amorlcan tourists. Orfcrlch chicks just emerg ing from their shells are sold all ovor Arizona and California at $26 each; no egg shell is of moro valuo than a chick it contains; thoroforo tho statement that eggs nro worth $125 is a northern dream created for tho purpose of matching tho wild scenery of tho northern mountains, covored as they aro with Immenso redwood trees and saturated with wet. Somobody bettor posted in ostrich lore had better post tho northern press and thus prevent bona fldo and disinterested peoplo being docolved; for tho magnifying nnd multiplying of lies by tho press creatos so much error that much tlmo is lost in correcting. And tho last yarn printed in tho pnpor of this northorn newspaper man says: "Tho birds produco on nn nvorago nbout ono nnd ono half pounds of fenthors a year, with a KILLS A YARD OF 'GATOR Long Branch, N. J.. Auk. 19 ram Dametz, a lad living in Jollno nvenue, this city, killed nn alligator throo feet long today. Damotz was looking for a rowboat which broko from its moorings nt Port-au-Peck yesterday, and ran across the alligator basking In tho Bun on tho bank of tho South Shrews bury river. Fearing that tho alliga tor might turn on him, tho boy picked up n heavy club and dealt It a Btlnglng blow across tho back. Ho followed up the attack and finally killed it. . , Tho lnd lugged tho animal homo, whoro .it was measured. This Is tho third gator that has boon caught in tho Shrewsbury river this summor. Their presence in northern waters cannot bo accounted for. WERE POISONED. Somobody has boon lying. Thirty eight ostriches nt that prlco or a llttlo less have recently been pur chased by a new Los Angolos ostrich farm and nro now vegetating on tho outskirts of tho city. But this Is only ono of tho sldo steps from tho narrow paths of truth that Now England people, for Instance, lovo so well. Tho writer appears to hnvo boon an reckless as a circus poster In regard to voracity, but as ho is advertising a show this must bo excused. Another strnngo statemont cx- tromoly sanguine; vory nmuslng to practical ostrich farmora In Cali Cali eornia: "It Is estimated that with local conditions tho flock will In croaso at tho rato of, about nlnoty birds a year;" thin is fastor than California uitrlchcs ovor oven with tho glorious climnto of California to holp thorn; If Soattlo birds hnvo to bo crowded under -oof, then thoro will bo no progeny, for tho sholtorcd ostrich refuses to multiply: nny cnatorn monngorlo contnlnlng os trlchos will so roport. Tho nvorngo loai In chick llfo In California is nbout forty per cont; mnny of tho couplos nro barron; and numbors of Infant ostriches still born; that Is tho ogg cracks thoro is n solitary chirp, a convulsive wlgglo nnd thoro U Mr. Ortrlch dead; ho was born nnd porlshcd at tho samo instant, not oven rising to tho hoigltt of somo in sects ho oxplro whon thev multiply. Ninety ostrichos from forty birds In Scattlo sounds llttlo to tho African ostrich farmer; nnd somo pairs in domesticated ostriches establish tho valuo of ostrich feathers tho world ovor; theso aro from llttlo to about a hundred dollars n pound; each ostrich will yield about thlrty-llvo dollars worth por annum; thus la tho stufllng tnken out of that state ment nnd tho public mind corrected. But tho gulllblo roportor In Wash ington Territory will bo rewarded somehow, whllo tho experienced ostrich farmer In Callfornln, who corrects tho error mndo by tho Yahoo reporter, based on nn experi ence- of yenrs, will hardly recolvo tho thanks of tho community or any body else.
