A Freak of Nature.

Wednesday it was discovered that the pipe
leading from the water main on Federal street
to the fountain in Lincoln Park was stopped
up After some digging the trouble was
found. 1t seems there was small crack in the
pipe near the park fence on Federal street, and
into this crack small root from an adjacent
tree had crept. This root appeared to find in
the pipe conditions favorable to remarkable
development, for when this section of the pipe
was laid bare, it was discovered that this root
had sent its fbres fully four feet into the pipe,
in fact completely filling the pipe and conse-
quently checking the flow of water. Alder
man Tukesbury has given the strange looking
fbrous mass to Mr.. Fuller, curator of the
Natural History rooms.

The property of the Company consists of $500
head of cattle, houses, six ranches, controlling
twenty miles of river front, which controls 2o0,-
600 acres Of land houses, corrals and other build
ings necessary to conduct the business located in
Tonic Basin, centre part of Arizona Territory.
It has long been known that the raising Of Cattle
in Texas, NewMexico Arizona and other States and
Territories of the great west is and for many years
has been immensely profitable and the fame of the
Cattle Kings is world wide. Starting with small
means, these men within a comparatively short
time, attained positions in the World of business
and finance rivalling the famous Bonanza Kings of
the Pacific Coast. Their success shows the results
of intelligent and perseverng efforts, and the short
time which has been necessary for the achievement
of that success proves conclusivey that investment
made la the cattle business rarely fails of returning
ratio of profit fairly astonishing to those not IA
miliar with the resources OF the great west And
the almost absolute certainty with which the profit
can be relied upon, will at once commend this class
of investment to anyone who viii take the trouble
to study the history of Stock in the western portions
of the United States and more particularly Texas,
New Mexico and Arizona. Capital invested in cattle
viii return larger per centage of interest than is
returned by any other legitimate investment, and at
the same time be free from the risks and uncer-
speculative business.
No safer investment could be offered.
The management of the Company's affairs is in
the hands of parties whose long experiences renders
them familiar with all details and are emnently fit
ted to conduct the enterprise with success.

The Physiology of Teesotnlism.


Rev. Mr.. Annear delivered his lecture on
the Physiology of Teetotalism" at the Con-
gress Street Methodist Church last evening.
The speaker divided his subject into three
heads: First, the body and its wants. secondly,
alcohol in Its nature and effects; third, why
should be teetotaler.
Under the first head the speaker analysed
the human frame, the brain that legislates,
the arms and legs and hands thataexecute the
masters will-that is the brains-the nerves
that keep the heart beating, the lungs breath
ing, and enable man to do the work Of life.
Under the second head the speaker said God
gave the grape and corn but man made alco-
hol. Before alcohol could be made the grain
must decay. So alcohol is the product Of
death. 1t does not nourish, it does not aid d.
gestion, it is not heat producing, it does not
give strength. All these points we're carefully
illustrated and forcibly put, and for all these
reasons the speaker declared he was teeto-
taller.
The lecture held the closest attention of the
audience until its close and the speaker was
frequently applsuded.

In John Meals Yankie of May 14th, 1928, a
writer requested the editor Ito enlighten a
friend to sailors on subject of deep interest to
him by answering this question respecting
the marine Hospital-why is it located al
Bath?" To his query a Bath correspondent
in communication dated May 18th, replied
that in 1921 the President of the United States
determined on the establishment of the hospi-
tai at that place "for reasons-which were
probably considered by him sufficient"
Can anybody give the PRESS the reasons the
President considered sufficient, and any other
interesting facts in reference to the matter?
