About 175 miles cast ) of San Francisco as
the crow flics Is ono of the wonderlands of
North America , the Yosemlte Nallonaf park.
This park was set asldo by congress as a
national reserve In 1890 , In pursuance of Iho
wlso policy of husbanding Iho llmberland
near the headwaters of our great rivers.
Carved from the very heart of the Cowering
Sierra Novados , comprising an area of about
1,400 square miles , this reservation con
tains within its limits no less than twenty
snow-clad peaks , among the loftiest In the
United Stoles ; a forcsl of Iho grandest pro
portions , Including a grove of the celebrated
glgantea sequoia , or "big trees , " hundreds
ot beautiful lakes nnd mountain streams al
most without number. Thcso , fcjd from the
perpetual snows of the higher altitudes ,

and through gorges of amazing depth , to

Accordlngly , when the season advanced , and
the grass htd become poor In the taflcya
and foothills , the sheepmen , as usual , had
moved up Into the mountains , paying no at
tention to any of the warnings that they had
received.

Not long after Captain Wood had gone Into
camp the sheepmen had a chance to make
good their boasting. On one of his first
expeditions Davis had left h little party
In the canyon , and had climbed a steep ,
barren sopc , to take a general obse'natlon
of the country and catch the lay ot the land ,
After a while ho thought that ho detected
the faint tinkle of a bell In the distance ;
listening , ho made sure of the direction , and
started for It. After clambering over rocks
and through brush for some time , he came
In sight of the outnt a large flock of sheep
In charge of four Portuguese attendants , or
shepherds , and a motley collection of dogs.
The men were all armed with rifles and
had seen Davis as soon as ho saw them.
Not deterred , however , ho drew his revolver
and advanced upon them , ordering them at
the same time , both by word and gesture , to
throw up their hands a movement they
executed with haste. Davis then proceeded
to take them Into camp with htm. At first
they pretended not to understand English ,
but , seeing his determination , and overawed
by the threatening six-shooter , they changed
their tactics , and begged him not to take
thorn , away , promising to leave tha park
Immediately , and offering him a largo sum

These farts were to some extent known t <
the government w hen the Yosemlto Natlona
park was set aside ; and the War depart
tnent was requested ro furnish a troop o
cavalry for Its patrol. The late Captall
Abram C. Wood , with Troop I , Fourtl
United States cavalry , was assigned to thli
duty , and ho became , through the authorltj
of fho secretary of the Interior , the actlni
superintendent of the park. As soon as tin
snow had sufficiently disappeared to raaki
it practicable Captain Wood marched hli
troop into the park , and established hli
main camp on the south fork of the Mcrce <
rl\er. In a beautiful grove , not far fron
the southern boundary of the park. He a
once sent out details to patrol the park
establish trails , "blaze" the trees along th
boundary lines , and put up printed notice
furulshrd by the Interior department , warn
ing against ! the starting ot forest fires , th
trespassing of cattle , sheep , etc. , and era
bodying the other regulations of the depart
ment. The captain also took pains to writ
letters to all the stockmen and sheep own
crs In the San Joaquln valTey whose name
ho could obtain , In which ho defined th
limits ot the park , and enclosed a copy o
the regulations calling for the expulsion o
trespassing sheep and cattle. These , how
ever , while respected by the cattleraci
pretty generally , had little effect upon th
sheep herders. Mere paper regulations the
did not respect at all , and they cxpressei
the % lew frcsfy that , with their knowledg
of the country , they would graze their shee
where they chose ; and that , if any soldier
should come near to molest them , It woul
b oa y enough to draw back further int
the mounralns , where the soldiers woul
not dare to venture with their horses. In
deed , BO complete and autocratic had bee
their former sway , that they looked upo

precede him In the direction of his detach
ment. When the men In the detachment
saw "tho lieutenant" coming down the hill
with four burly Portuguese sheep herders in
advance , each carrying a Winchester rlllo on
his shoulder , they were considerably as
tonished ; and their astonishment was In
creased , when , as was soon ascertained , the
men ho had apprehended were proved to
bo the very ones that bad made the loudest
vaunts about how they would deal with the
"chucklo-headPd soldiers. "
Davis escorted them Into the main camp
before Captain Wood , who warned them nol
to trespass again upon the park , nnd
caused them to be ejected on the side ot the
reservation opposite to that near which thoj
had been apprehended. Dy the time the ;
had gathered together their flocks , now well
dispersed among the mountains , they were
willing enough to profit by the lesson. Thi
measure adopted may seem harsh , but II
was the only ono within the superintendent1 !
power that would effectively prevent tres.

Thcso Httlo detachments were always oc
companlcd by a small train of pack mules
For a detachment of ten men It would b <
necessary to have along four or five of thes <
hardy llttlo animate , to carry the necessar :
supplies for the men. The pack mule Is i
small , wiry beast that develops a wondcrfu
amount of sagacity and ability to look ou
for himself. They are loaded with about 151
pounds of luggage each , being as much ai
they can carry' over such rough trails , am
with the scanty forage that they can plcl
up on such trips as these. They are nofl led
but are trained to follow on behind the trooi
or detachment. Generally ono or two expe
rlenccd soldiers are detailed as packers o
muleteers , to see that the mules come aloni
all right , and the most capable and doctl
raulo is put In the lead , the others follow
Ing In single file. On account of tbo wldtl
of their packs , it is not always possible to
the mures to go between obstructions tha
afford sufficient space for a horse and rider
and they learn with a wonderful nicety jus
what size of hole they can slip through.

was any way by which he could shake hi

and so It was In all other species ot devlltr ;

j Xcce l < > ' fur Military Protection ,
The park bss now been under mllltar
a protection since May , 1891 , when it wa
a first opened , and the beneficial results ar
a very marked and freely commented upo
T by Ibose familiar with the country , Tb
boundaries of the park have been careful !
marked out and the trespass of sheep an
cattle prevented. Many ot ( he lakes an
streams , once flMilcsi , have been stocked
with trout and other Huh. Torest fires ha\e
become almost n thing of the past , young
trees are gran Ing up with astonishing
vigor , lawlessness has given place to order
and tha natural haunts of the quail and
deer have been restored to them.
At a time when so much discussion Is
being carried on concerning Ihe preserva
tion of our remaining forests and theories
freely advanced as to the best methods for
Its accAmpllshment , It will be well to take
a glance at the facts here presented. The
first great requirement for forest preserva
tion Is protection ; no mere printed notices ,
be they posted upon every tree , will ac
complish this. The class of men by whom
the monstrous depredations In our forests
are committed Is the class to which force
and force alone appeals. And the sight ot
a blue uniform , entoppcd with the broad
brim of a campaign hat , and engirdled with
a woven belt , well stocked with cartridges ,
Is to them a more potent argument than
all the enactments contained In the great
volume called the "Revised Statutes of the
United States. "

The vicissitudes which accompany the

SKAOWAY , Aug. 30. After long travel
and some tribulation n genuine "stampede"
has been found. The latest "rush" has In-
\olved the correspondent along with almost
everybody else In this dl'trlct. Skagway
Is as quiet as n pralrlo town ' In winter.
There Is no shooting , no "grafting , " no
"rolling" of newly arrived Dawson miners
and very little gambling.
Every man who can get away has gone or
Is going to the now strike at Pine Creek
and those w.ho can't get away arc sending
some one. They believe In this utrlke.
They were hot carried away by the stampede
to Walsh creek last winter , but they nro
excited now. Out of l.SOO men working on
the railway nearly 1,000 have quit work.
Many of the small shopkeepers have locked
their doors or turned their business over
to their wives. On every sldo ono may see
men with packs on their backs plodding
along the trails to Join a long procession of
other heavily laden two-legged beetles With
noses set to the north.
The excitement began a week ago yester
day. The story goes that a man by the
name ot Roberts has been quietly working
on a small creek which runs Into Atlln
lake from the easterly side. Ho thought
ho was In Northwest Territory and subject
to royalty , therefore ho said little about his
output. Some ten days ago he came Into
Bennett City to buy some provisions and In
a moment of Indiscretion his secret escaped

when a steamer came up the Yukon with
some Daw son ad > enturers aboard and Borne
of them turned back and made a determined

Two of these men ha\o returned to Skag

to an evacuation. Ono man ( Mr. Tcnnant ,

Souio of the party became snow blind and

There Is a little scene of rural nature en

which make tholr homes In the big chimney
of a church , gather from e > ery direction
about sunset and circle around over Trinity
cemetery , retiring gradually to their nests.
At daybreak they rise from the chimney In
clouds and scatter to all points of the com

As I stood near the cemetery the other even

north and south , cast and west. Hocks of the
graceful birds were arriving e > ery moment
to Join the swirling multitudes. There were
literally thousands of them , swooping in a
wide circle over the silent graveyard and
filling the nlr with plaintive cries. Sud
denly the old man addressed me.
"What a beautiful sight that Is , " he said.
"I have watched these flights for years.
During the summer the birds come every
evening about C o'clock and for nn hour or
more fly In that swift circle overhead before
seeking rest. "
"Why have they chosen this spot ? " I
asked.
"It has been their haunt for many yeans ,

because their friend sleeps yonder. Can

Dut It Is not many } ears since this piti
ful end was denied It. From the year 839 ,
In which a furious tempest had ircii'rii-
lated mountains of sand at Its mouth , unrll
the beginning of the present century the
Old Rhine lost Itself in tbo eaud before
reaching the sea and covered a vast tract of
country with pools nnd marshes. Under the
reign of Louis Ronoparto the waters were
collected Into a largo canal , protected by
three enormous sluice gates , and from that
time the Rhine flows directly to the sea.
These sluices are the greatest monument In
Hoi/and , and , perhaps , the most admirable
hydraulic work In Europe. The dykes ,
which protect the mouth of the canal , the
walls , pillars and gates , present altogether
the aspect of a cyclopean fortress , against
which it seems that not only that sea , but
0 the united forces of all seas , must break as
against a granite mountain.
That enormous fortification which , on a
desert shore , defends a dying river and a
fallen city from the ocean , has something ot
solemnity which commands respect and ad
miration.
