Cattleman’s Plan to Establish One In a Texas Canyon. NATURE’S RETREAT FOR THE WILD The Pre»erve Nenr Canyon City Woulil Be About Fifty MIIen Lome by From Five to Ten W’i<le—Con- ■ent of Stnte of Tcxna and Help From the National Government Are I Needed. J Charles Goodnight, u noted cattleman i of the Panhandle of Texas, proposes, If the consent of the Texas state govern- ! ment and financial aid of congress be ; given, to form an association for the | establishment in Palodura canyon, ! near Canyon City, of a preserve for buffalo and other wild animals native ] to the southwest and also of a ranch j for the propagation of a breed of beef ! animal, which he lias named “eatulo,” the same being a cross of the buffalo | and the thoroughbred domestic beef animal, says the Kansas City Star. The canyon Is a chasm through which runs Palodura creek, one of the head waters of Red river, and Is about fifty miles long by from five to ten wide. It begins with a series of precipices, by which It falls about 200 feet and thence by sharp declivities until its greatest depth Is 1,200 to 1,500 feet. Through the entire distance the little stream traverses a narrow valley, and all the way on both sides the walls are almost perjiendlcular. The valley Is fertile laud and Is cov ered with a growth of large forest trees which, wherever It Is possible for them to take root, even climb the rocky bluffs. These trees are the pecan, the elm, the Iwckberry, the walnut, the sycamore, the cottonwood and the ce dar. The cedar attains an enormous growth and Is claimed by scientific men who have visited the canyon to be the same as the cedar of Lebanon of Scriptural fame. The trees of the canyon and the bases of the bluffs which confine It are covered with wild grapevine, Virginia creeper and other climbing vegetation. Beneath It all the creek meanders, sometimes flowing peacefully, but more often brawling its way over rocky precipices. In the bluffs nature has made caves where bears, wolves, wildcat and pan ther live, and In crevices smaller fur animals make their homes. In the depths of the forest deer and antelope abound. In the trees song birds build their nests, and high up In crags of the bluffs eagles have their eyries. In the deeper waters of the creek game fish abound, and muskrat burrow in the yielding soil. It Is nature’s retreat for the wild, and to save the native wild animals from total extinction Mr. Goodnight is willing to head a move ment to collect them in pairs or herds and place them In the canyon for fu- I ture preservation. If the two governments do their part Mr. Goodnight offers to give outright to the association a herd of more than 100 buffalo which he has preserved on his ranch. This is the only herd of the American bison In the southwest, where it formerly found winter pasture In herds of countless thousands, and Mr. Goodnight thinks it ought to be preserved by government here on Its native health. Mr. Goodnight would corral the buffalo and the “oatalo” on the prairie adjacent to the rim of the canyon. The other animals he would confine in separate corrals In the depths of the canyon. He chooses the prairie for the buffalo and for the cross breed because the native grasses of the plains are na ture's food for these animals. They will eat other food, but they prefer the native pasture, and In no other part of America arc these grasses so nu tritious as here upon the staked plain In the Texas Panhandle. The land Is j not public domain, but enough, in cluding the canyon, may be purchased for the use Mr. Goodnight proposes. Indeed, many large holders have of fered for a nominal price to convey to the projiosed association lands which they own in the canyon and bordering It. The transfer must be done soon, however, for the Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fe by its main line and branch from Canyon City Is daily carrying a greater Immigration into that country. Collecting and propagating his herd of buffalo and breeding the “eatalo” have cost Mr. Goodnight much time, patience and money, and, although it has been and still Is a labor of love for him, he is willing for the government j to take the work over, for he now is ; seventy or more years old, past the age of active usefulness, and since he i has nobody to hand It down to he | wants to make sure that wdiat he has ! so well undertaken will not be sus pended or abandoned. He believes that j In the "eatalo” he has made a beef animal superior to any other breed and | that the next generation will even 1m- | prove upon it. President Roosevelt, It Is said, has signified a willingness to : recommend the project to congress if Texas will cede jurisdiction of the can yon. Xovelty In Hotela. A unique hotel which, owing to its slender shape, Is called the Toothpick Is being erected In San Francisco. It was being put up at the time of the earthquake, and the steel skeleton was uninjured. Now. Instead of finishing the walls with stone and brick, as was first Intended, great plates of boiler Iron will be riveted on, Just as tbe armor of battleships Is. The steel plates strengthen the structure of the build ing, It Is said, cannot be shaken off and present a smooth surface for paint ing. THE KING of BLOOD PURIFIERS No other Remedy has given such perfect satisfaction as a blood purifier and tonic or is so reliable in the cure of blood dis eases of every character as S. S. S. It is known as “The King of Blood Purifiers,” and the secret of its success and its right to this title is because “IT CURES DISEASE.” It is an honest medicine, madd entirely of purifying, healing roots, herbs and barks, which are acknowledged to be specifics for "im| ; .. diseases arising from an impure or poisoned condition of the blood and possessing tonic properties that act genlly and admirably in the up-building of a run-' down, weakened or disordered condition of the system. One of the greatest points in favor of & S. S. is that it is the only blood remedy on the market which does not contain a mineral ingredient of some kind to derange or damage the system. It is the one medicine that can be taken with absolute safety by the youngest child or the oldest member of the family, and persons who have allowed their systems to get is such condition that most medicines are repulsive to the stomach will find that S. S. S., while thorough, is gentle and pleasant in its action, and has none of the nauseating effects of the different mineral mixtures and concoctions offered as blood purifiers. As every part of the body is dependent on the blood for nourishment and strength, it is necessary that this vital fluid be kept free from germs and poisons. So long as it remains uncontamin ated we are fortified against dis- Gentlemen:—S. S. S. Is used as a family medicine In oar home. I myself have taken and always found it what It !• claimed to be. It thoroughly cleanses the system of Inv- pnrities, increases the appetite, improves the digestion, and bnilds up the general health. I have given It to my children with fine results. It promptly restores the appe tite and clears the skin of all eruptions. It Is a very fiao blood tonic and has my hearty endorsement. 124 8. 9th St., Lebanon, Pa. P. H. THOMPSON ease, and health is assured; but any impurity humor or poison acts injuriously on the sys tem and affects the general health. Pus- '.ular eruptions, pimples, rashes and the differeut skin affections show that the blood is in a feverish and diseased condition as a result of too much acid or the presence of some irritating humor. Sores and Ulcers are the result of morbid, unhealthy matter in th* blood, and Rheumatism, Catarrh, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison etc., are all deep-se&tod blood disorders that continue to grow worse as long as the poison remains. But all blood diseases are not acquired; some persons are born with an hereditary taint in the blood and we see this great affliction manifested in many ways. The skin has a waxy, pallid appearance, the eyes are often weak, glands of the neck enlarged, and as the taint has been in the blood since birth the entire health is usually affected. In all blood troubles S. S. S. has proved itself a perfect remedy and has well earned the title of “KING OP BLOOD PURIFIERS.” It goes down into the circulation and removee all poisons, humors, waste or foreign matter, and makes this stream of life pure and health- sustaining. Nothing reaches inherited blood troubles like S. S. S.; it removes every particle of the taint, purifies and strengthens the weak, deteriorated blood, and supplies it with the healthful properties it needs and establishes the foundation for good health. As a tonic this great mediciue has no equal, and it will be found RELY VEGETABLE especially bracing to weak, anaemic persons. Rheumatism, Catarrh, Sores and Ulcers, Skin Diseases, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison and all other blood troubles are cured perma nently by S. S. S., and so thorough is the cleansing of the blood that no trace of the dis ease is left to break out in future years or to be transmitted to offspring. If you are in need of a blood purifier get “THE KING” of them all, S. S. S.—and good results are assured. ' Book on the blood and any medical advice desired furnished without charge to all who write.

George Washington No Sailor.” A Baltimore school teacher, says the American Boy, was telling one day of how often the instructor of “the young idea” is astonished by the quickness of wit exhibited by the pu pil who is otherwise deficient. One day. says this teacher, she had encountered such a degree of ignor ance and mental obtuseness on the part of one of her hoys that she be came disheartened. So it was with considerable sarcasm that she said to the youngster: “I wonder if you could tell me whether George Washington was a soldier or a sailor.” The kid grinned. “He was a sold ier. all right,” was his reply. “How do you know?” asked the weary teacher. “Because I seen a picture of him crossin’ the Delaware,” explained the hoy. “Any sailor’d know enough not to stand up in a boat.” LETTER OF ADMINISTRATION.
