GO TO THE Oak Barber Shop BRUTES GIVEN TO DRINK. Many Animals Become Intoxicated on Nature's Beverages. Although it has often been said when speaking of drunkenness that even the beasts of the field do not get drunk It is nevertheless a fact that a great many animals do get intoxicated. Take the elephant, for instance. He is particularly fond of the fruit of the unganu tree, and although he appears to have some idea that it is not good for him he will go on eating when he has once begun until he is wildly excited and so intoxicated that he will stagger from side to side. Every now and then he will pull himself up, shake his huge head and tear madly through the forest, trumpeting at the top of his voice and terrifying every living creature. It is said that he will even dare and defy his most dreaded enemy, the tiger, when in this condition, but we have no means of verifying this. It is well known, however, that an elephant is in a most dangerous condition when suffering from the effects of eating this beautiful fruit, and all who can take care to keep out of his way as much as possible. The sloth bear is another animal given to this falling. The natives of India are in the habit of hanging little vessels on the palm trees for the purpose of catching the juice. This juice is so attractive to the sloth bear that, although such a poor climber, he will scramble up and go on drinking the juice until he is so drunk that he can only slip helplessly to the ground and lie there in a drunken stupor until the effects have passed off.

The natives of India are in the habit of hanging little vessels on the palm trees for the purpose of catching the juice. This juice is so attractive to the sloth bear that, although such a poor climber, he will scramble up and go on drinking the juice until he is so drunk that he can only alp helplessly to the ground and lie there in a drunken stupor until the effects have passed off. But the sloth bear is not the only animal who is so partial to this juice of the palm tree. The curious fruit (or fox) bats (family pteropodidae) are particularly fond of it. This peculiar little combination of beast and bird, with its foxlike face, reddish, furry body and black, uncanny looking wings, the delicate membrane of which is always quivering down to the very tips, will fly to these vessels in company with some hundreds of his companions and they will suck the juice until the ground below the tree will be dark with the bodies of these bats, who will lie there too helplessly intoxicated to move or defend themselves no matter what may turn up. The biggest drunkard of all is perhaps the palm clvet. So addicted is this animal to the drinking habit that he has been termed the toddy cat. And a more helpless, foolish looking creature than he is when he is thoroughly intoxicated with the palm juice it would be difficult to find. There are many other animals given to this failing, but all those I have spoken of live in India, and it may be that the beat which induces extreme thirst, a frequent excuse among men, is the direct cause of it—Collier's Weekly.

PREPARATORY to sailing on a cruise of 16,000 miles to the Philippine Islands as escort of a torpedo boat flotilla, the first of the kind ever sent out from these shores on such a voyage, the cruiser Baltimore this week leaves the New York navy yard under command of Captain Briggs. The Baltimore has been out of commission since she returned from Manila, where she participated in the great battle under Admiral Dewey. It is figured that six months will be required for the torpedo flotilla to reach Manila. Five boats—the Decatur, Bainbridge, the Barry, Chauncey and Dale, will go. A remarkable course has been mapped out. A straight course will be taken past Hatteras to Bermuda. Then the Barbadoes will be made and continuing south by east, the northern shores of South America will be hugged, stops being made every day or two. From Brazil a course will be steered back over the equator for the open sea. The flotilla will proceed up the West African coast and past the Cape Verde group to the Canaries. The next stop will be the Madeira islands. Thence the course will be set for the Mediterranean and the Suez canal. which Canada wins. All that now remains to be done is for the commissioners to affix their signatures to the decision and complete the map which will accompany it. On the map will be marked the boundary line definitely fixing the division of American and British territory on such a basis that no American citizen will lose a foot of land he already believed he held, while the United States will get all the waterways to the rich Alaskan territory, with the exception of the Portland canal, which gives Canada the one outlet she much needed. The long standing dispute was only settled after a week of keen, trying, secret deliberations between the arbitrators. Even up to noon today there was acute possibility that a disagreement might result, and the whole proceedings fall to the ground. Lord Alverstone, though openly inclined to believe in the justice of the American argument, that the United States was entitled to the heads of inlets as contained in question 5, held out that Canada had established her case in questions 2 and 3, not including the Portland canal, After lunch Senator Lodge, Secretary Root and Senator Turner agreed to cede those points and start the American boundary line from the head of the Portland canal, thus giving the Canadians that channel and some small islands on which there are only a few disused storehouses. This accomplished, PRIZE FOR GRAPE GROWER Twenty-five Thousand Dollars Offer for Discovery of Method of Making Cream of Tartar. A. Sbarboro, chairman of the California Promotion committee, has announced to the committee that an association of vineyardists has been formed for the purpose of solving the problem of how to produce cream of tartar from grapes. The association is entitled to "American Grape Acid Association" and has offered a prize of $25,000 to the ingenious individual who can produce a successful formula. Such well known men as Prof. E. W. Hilgard, director of the Agricultural Experiment Station at the University of California, Schilling, of the firm of A. Schilling Co., C. De Cuigne, president of the American Cream Tartar Co., Percy Morgan, president of the California Wine association, the largest distributors of wine in the United States, and A. Sbarboro, president of the Manufacturers and Producers' association will constitute the jury which will award the decision. “This is a bona fide proposition said Mr. Sbarboro," and the Grape Acid association has deposited securities with Daniel Meyer, the bank guaranteeing the payment of the award. There is no advertizing scheme about this proposition. If anyone is successful in discovering the process formula for the utilization of California grapes to produce tartaric acid or commercial basis, such a process would be of inestimable value to California. William Jennings Bryan has at last given up the free silver idea, according to Professor James W. Bradshaw of the Commercial College of Iowa City, Iowa. Professor Bradshaw met Bryan on a train on the way from New York to Lincoln recently. The two are old friends. In conversation on the train Bryan said, according to Bradshaw: "While still believing that free silver would be a good thing for our country, the nations of the world have settled down to a gold basis to such an extent that it would be practically impossible to substitute anything for the gold standard. I think free silver will not be considered at the National Democratic convention of 1904. Moreover, I believe it will never again be an issue. "I am out of politics forever. I shall give all my attention to the law, my lectures and the Commoner, hereafter." No man can say who the next Democratic nominee will be. No other man in the Republican party equals Roosevelt in the esteem of the common people, especially in the west. None equals Roosevelt in his power to command the respect of all nations and to wield an influence on the world at large." "Nevada will within the next thirty or forty years become a state of half a million people," says F. H. Newell, chief hydrographer of the Geological Survey, who is in charge of the irrigation work. This prediction represents the aims of irrigationists, and if it can be anywhere nearly realized, the advantage to the country in converting a "rotten borough" into a State of agricultural homes can hardly be exaggerated. The passage of the national irrigation act has been followed by an early start of the reclamation of Nevada. Truckee Dam is now under construction. A contract for $900,000 there has already been let, while its ultimate cost will be several millions. A definite policy has been adopted regarding the cost of irrigation works. The government United States was entitled to the heads of inlets as contained in question 5, held out that Canada had established her case in questions 2 and 3, not including the Portland canal, After lunch Senator Lodge, Secretary Root and Senator Turner agreed to code those points and start the American boundary line from the head of the Portland canal, thus giving the Canadians that channel and some small islands on which there are only a few disused storehouses. This accomplished, the majority of the tribunal agreed to fix, with this exception, the entire boundary as outlined in the American case. The only really disquieting feature of the situation for the Americans during the last few days had been a vague idea that Chief Justice Alverstone, even if he concluded to take the American view, might be unwilling to go on record with a decision to that effect and that a disagreement was likely. There was revelry in Phoenix one night last week, says a press dispatch from that town the forepart of the week, with red fire, cannon, music and speeches. Word had been received that the Secretary of the Interior had formally ordered work to begin on preliminary constructions at the Tonto Basin dam site on the Salt River, sixty miles east of Phoenix. This enterprise, costing, with appurtenant canals, about $3,000,000, is to double the cultivated area of the Salt River valley and fourfold increase its productive capacity. At the meeting last evening Frank Cox presided. Gov. A. F. Brodie was the principal speaker, the concluding talk being by B. A. Fowler, president of the Salt River Valley Water Users Association, in whose hands has been most of the local work of preparation, wherein the farmers have bound themselves to repay the government the cost of the new irrigation works. The highest praise was given George H. Maxwell, chairman of the Irrigation Congress Executive Committee, who has been one of the most potent forces in the work. During the afternoon a committee of the Board of Trade sent the following message to President Roosevelt: "The citizens of Phoenix and Maricopa county are in mass meeting assembled to rejoice over the decision of the Secretary of the Interior to construct the Salt River reservoir, to put themselves on record as heartily indorsing your great irrigation policy, and to assure you of our hearty support to the government in the consummation of A.Sbarboro, president of the Manitou factories and Producers' association will constitute the jury which will award the decision. “This is a bona fide proposition,” said Mr. Sbarboro, “and the Grant Acid association has deposited securities with Daniel Meyer, the bank guaranteeing the payment of this award. There is no advertising scheme about this proposition. If anyone successful in discovering the process formula for the utilization of California grapes to produce tartaric acid on commercial basis, such a process would be inestimable value to California and to the United States. This county is a very large importer of grape acetate (which are material for cream of tartar), despite the fact that California a very large producer of grapes. When we wish is to cease importing grape acid and turn our grapes into tartaric acid in this country. The present value of tartaric acid wholesale.” continued Mr. Sbarboro, “is 31 cents pound. A gallon of wine weighs six cooperage about 10 pounds, and if many from grapes costing $10 a ton in this gross is valued at only 10 cents. That the value of the wine of that grade would be only one cent a pound, when the value of a pound of tartaric acid would be 31 cents.” A great deal of tartaric acid is made in Europe and elsewhere from more expensive grapes. California vineyards assert that tartaric acid produces from most costly grade of grapes no better than that which is produced from the cheap. Prominent wine riders say that in the ripening of grape a part of the acid is transformed into sugar. There is a probability that the opposite operation can formed, i.e., the transformation of sugar into acid, and particularly tartaric acid. ALFALFA A FORAGE PLANT. Alfalfa has been grown with more less success in every state and territory in the union, from Maine to Washington and from California to Florida says an article issued by the California Promotion committee. From bullet published by the United States Department of Agriculture there is evidence that alfalfa has gained recognition best hay and soiling crop in West. There is not a state from where the report has not gone out that alfalfa will, when properly treated, become one of the best fodder plants. In South it has been widely recommended as a valuable addition to the list of age grasses and clovers. In The Middle and Eastern states it promises become a rival of the better known more widely grown red clover. California, with 298,898 acres planted to alfalfa, is the second most important state in point of alfalfa acreage in union, being only exceeded by Colorado. Land planted in California is productive throughout the year; however while in Colorado the growth of plant is necessarily arrested at three or four months of the year in inging the season of snows, frosts and tern cold. Despite the fact that alfalfa is so nearly realized, the advantage to the country in converting a "rotten borough" into a State of agricultural homes can hardly be exaggerated. The passage of the national irrigation act has been followed by an early start of the reclamation of Nevada. Truckee Dam is now under construction, a contract for $900,000 there has already been let, while its ultimate cost will be several millions. A definite policy has been adopted regarding the cost of irrigation works. The government intends to undertake only those improvements on which it can get its money back within ten years, but without interest and without profit. Whenever the work is completed, its cost will be divided into ten parts, and each made an annual assessment on the land which is to be benefitted. Homeseekers will then take up land upon these terms, and not until their tenth installment has been paid will they get a title to it. Default in payments at an early stage will throw the land open for new entry. When irrigation works are undertaken in a community where title to the land has already passed from the government, private owners will have to give a mortgage on their property, binding them to pay these ten annual installments before they can have water. It will be for them to decide whether to make the connection. The terms of these contracts have been carefully examined by the law officers of the department, and it is believed that there is no loop-hole left for government loss, except through the construction of works which the private owners would not be willing to shoulder on the proposed basis. The Alaskan boundary commission, which has been in session in London for some weeks past, has reached an agreement whereby all the American contentions are sustained with the exception of those in relation to the Portland canal, of the most potent forces in the work. During the afternoon a committee of the Board of Trade sent the following message to President Roosevelt: "The citizens of Phoenix and Maricopa county are in mass meeting assembled to rejoice over the decision of the Secretary of the Interior to construct the Salt River reservoir, to put themselves on record as heartily indorsing your great irrigation policy, and to assure you of our hearty support to the government in the consummation of its plans not only in this valley, but throughout the arid west." One of the most important moves in irrigation for Riverside was made last Friday when Edmund T. Perkins, on behalf of the United States, filed on four million miners' inches or water for use in that county and vicinity. The document filed with the Riverside county recorder is as follows: "Notice is hereby given that Edmund T. Perkins thereunto duly authorized by the Secretary of the Interior for and on behalf of the United States of America, under the provisions of the act of congress, approved June 17, 1902, claims at the point where this notice is posted all the unappropriated waters of the Colorado rivers, both surface and underflow, to the extent of 100,000 cubic second feet—4,000,000 miuer's inches. "The point where this notice is described as follows: At a point of rocks known as Black's Point in California, county of Riverside, about section 7, township 5 south, range 24 east, San Bernardino meridian, California, this notice is posted in box and box nailed to a tree. That said water is claimed for irrigation, manufacturing purposes, water power, domestic use, and other beneficial uses, and the terminus and place of intended use is in the valley extending from said point along the Colorado river to and below Picacho in California, and along the line of the proposed conduit. The water would be diverted by means of a diversion dam and will be conveyed through canals, flumes, wooden iron, steel and cement pipes to the place of intended use." California, with 298,898 acres planted to alfalfa, is the second most important state in point alfalfa acreage in union, being only exceeded by Colorado. Land planted in California is ductive throughout the year, bowing while in Colorado the growth of plant is necessarily arrested at least three or four months of the year due to the season of snows, frosts and ter cold. Despite the fact that alfalfa is so generally grown, care must be observed in its cultivation if one is to secure best results. It has its enemies, with any sort of attention there were few crops in California so hardy dependable. Alfalfa makes a splendid food hogs, and the success with which it grown in this state should be a factor in encouraging the raising of saffron. "One acre of alfalfa will furnish for from 10 to 20 hogs per season," clares Farmers' Bulletin No. 31 of United States Department of Agriculture. There is not a cheaper or better way of producing pork than to grow pigs to run in a field of alfalfa. At a conservative estimate ten per acre will gain 100 pounds each during the season from May to September and 1,000 pounds of pork cannot be produced so cheaply on any other farm. The pigs will come out of the field autumn in capital condition to face with corn or small grain. The alfalfa in a hog pasture should be mowed or twice during the summer, or even it begins to get hard and woody. The wide distribution and importance of alfalfa in California and influence exerted by this foreign building isolated agricultural communities, as well as its contribution to the importance of districts more likely populated, recommends it to the intention of everyone interested in agricultural progress of the state. Alfalfa has made the dairying industry of this state. Hogs, turkeys and animals thrive on it. When the sense of getting bulky crops to maize has made their cultivation in diverse communities profitless, alfalfa opened a way to prosperity through encouraging stock raising. Much alfalfa already been done, the possibility which alfalfa offers have scarcely hinted at. FOR GRAPE GROWERS Five Thousand Dollars Offered Discovery of Method of Making Cream of Tartar. Barboro, chairman of the Call-Promotion committee, has an attitude to the committee that an assortment of vineyardists has been formed purpose of solving the problem to produce cream of tartar from the association is entitled the Can Grape Acid association," offered a prize of $25,000 to the individual who can produce useful formula. Such well known Prof. E. W. Hilgard, director Agricultural Experiment Station University of California, A. G., of the firm of A. Schilling & De Cuigne, president of the Can Cream Tartar Co., Percy T. T., president of the California Association, the largest distributor wine in the United States, and Barboro, president of the Manuscripts and Producers' association, institute the jury which will decide. There is a bona fide proposition," Mr. Sbarboro, "and the Grape Association has deposited security Daniel Meyer, the banker, seeing the payment of the. There is no advertizing scheme this proposition. If anyone is foolish in discovering the process or for the utilization of California to produce tartaric acid on a social basis, such a process would destimiiable value to California. CHILEAN NUTS' POOR QUALITY Crop Is Large and Much of It Will Be Imported Into This Country. Prices Ruling. [Report of R. E. Mansfield, U. S. Consul, Valparaiso, Chile, August 20, 1903.] There are no statistics available concerning the production of walnuts in Chile. The crop this year is about equal to that of last season, in quantity, but the quality is reported not so good. Careful estimates place the total production this year at 50,000 sacks, averaging about 53 kilograms, or 117 pounds to the sack—2,650,000 kilograms, or 5,800,000 pounds aggregate weight. The market price in Valparaiso this season has averaged about 28 cents, Chile currency, per kilogram, or from $14.50 to $15 per sack of 53 kilograms. (The Chilean dollar is worth 36½ cents in U. S. gold). The walnuts grown in Chile are known as the "English" walnut and are very similar to those grown in California. The size and condition of the nut varies according to soil and climate where grown. In the provinces of Valparaiso and Santiago the nuts attain a much greater size than those grown further south where it is much colder. The shell on the larger nuts is much thinner and less firm than those grown in the territory further south. The finest walnuts produced in Chile, both in size and flavor, are grown at Quillota and Linache. They are very large, of excellent quality, and a small part of them defective. The crop is RETURNS FROM EUROPE Frank Huch spent several weeks in Berlin and London—Is Looking for His Walnut Crop. Frank Huch returned some days ago from Europe, where he has been visiting with relatives and friends for the past six months. It had been nineteen years since he saw the old country and he found many changes, but saw many familiar places, nevertheless. He spent several weeks in Berlin, where a sister resides, and put in a fortnight in London, where he has a brother in business. Mr. Huch was twelve days on the water going over, preferring one of the slower boats, for comfort as well as safety. The weather he found warm and rainy. The oldest inhabitant assured him that never had such disagreeable weather prevailed in the Fatherland. Travel this way was found to be so brisk that while in London July 16th he was unable to engage steamer passage for the homeward trip, all lists being sold out to August 29th. He secured accommodations by engaging ahead as far as September 12th. Mr. Huch left for Europe in April, the day of the heavy rainfall which has played smash with the walnut crop. His trees promised the heaviest crop in years, but he returns to discover the yield is the smallest. He regrets he did not bring a microscope along to help locate the crop. But he is no worse off than other growers, who report only half a crop or less. He reports a thoroughly enjoyable train and ride. Mr. Sbarboro, "and the Grape Association has deposited security Daniel Meyer, the banker, receiving the payment of the. There is no advertising scheme this proposition. If anyone is in discovering the process or for the utilization of California to produce tartaric acid on a special basis, such a process would be attainable value to California in the United States. This country is large importer of grape acids are material for cream of tartar the fact that California is large producer of grapes. What is to cease importing grape and turn our grapes into tartaric acid this country. The present tartaric acid wholesale." Conan Mr. Sbarboro, "is 31 cents a gallon of wine weighs with about 10 pounds, and if made grape costing $10 a ton in the valued at only 10 cents. Thus due of the wine of that grade only one cent a pound, while due of a pound of tartaric acid the 31 cents." What deal of tartaric acid is made up and elsewhere from the most valuable grapes. California vineyard that tartaric acid produced the most costly grade of grapes is less than that which is produced the cheap. Prominent wine raises that in the ripening of the part of the acid is transformed sugar. There is a probability the opposite operation can be i.e., the transformation of the nitrate acid, and particularly tartaric acid. FALFA A FORAGE PLANT. Alfalfa has been grown with more or less access in every state and territory union, from Maine to Washington from California to Florida, an article issued by the California onion committee. From bulletins filed by the United States Department of Agriculture there is evidence alfalfa has gained recognition as best hay and soiling crop in the country. There is not a state from which alfalfa when properly treated, become the best fodder plants. In the past it has been widely recommended suitable addition to the list of forages and clovers. In the Mid-Eastern states it promises to rival a rival of the better known and widely grown red clover. Alfalfa, with 298,898 acres planted, is the second most important point of alfalfa acreage in the being only exceeded by Colorado and planted in California is proclaimed throughout the year, however, in Colorado the growth of the is necessarily arrested at least for four months of the year during season of snows, frosts and bittern. The fact that alfalfa is so genetically similar to those grown in California. The size and condition of the nut varies according to soil and climate where grown. In the provinces of Valparaiso and Santiago the nuts attain a much greater size than those grown further south where it is much colder. The shell on the larger nuts is much thinner and less firm than those grown in the territory further south. The finest walnuts produced in Chile, both in size and flavor, are grown at Quillota and Linache. They are very large, of excellent quality, and a small per cent. of them defective. The crop is harvested in March. About four-fifths of the nuts produced in Chile are exported. They go to the United States, England, Germany, Argentine Republic and Brazil. The freight rates vary from $10 to $12 (U.S. currency) per ton to the United States and Europe. There have been exported to the United States this season about 20,000 sacks of walnuts—1,000,000 kilograms, or in the aggregate about 2,200,000 pounds. This represents a value of something like $280,000 Chile currency. The shipments to the States this year represent about two-fifths of the total walnut crop of Chile, and much of the crop still remains in the country. The principal exporters to the United States are W. R. Grace & Co.; Beache; Duval & Co.; Williamson, Balfour & Co., all of Valparaiso. Fox Club's Hunt The semi-annual meeting and hunt of the Santiago Fox Club will be held today and tomorrow at Orange County Park in Santiago canyon. The program of the event includes a big barbecue and business meeting on the evening of the 21st, followed by a dance and music at the pavilion in the park, while the chase after the big game which lurks in the canyon will be held at daybreak on Friday morning. At other hunts of the club in past years the dogs and horsemen have generally succeeded in capturing one or more "bob" cats, and as the game is said to be more plentiful this season than usual, a day of rare sport is looked forward to. Beds of straw for the men and tents for the ladies are to be provided at the park for the night's stay. WHEN BURGLARS CALL. The Proper Thing to Do and the Proper Way to Do It. "Events that are apparently trivial in the daytime assume an immense importance in the dead of night. A slight noise, out of the ordinary, will sometimes have its bearing on the married lives of two people," says Tom Masson in Life. When therefore your wife wakes you up with that intensely nervous movement that indicates a brooding horror do not lose your presence of mind. Keep from shaking if possible, and while secretly your heart may be in your throat do not betray yourself Above all, do not wake up too soon. Begin by groaning slightly, and roll over. At the second pull on her part it will be entirely proper for you to he unable as long as they grow in California. The size and condition of the nut varies according to soil and climate where grown.
