Too Many Railways.

There are, ii is said, about 125, 600
miles of railroad In this country, much
more than there ought TO be. 1t has
often been asserted that 1000 people
are required to support mile of road,
and we have more than a mile to every
500. In no other land are there any
thing like so many railways, and they
have all been built within 56 years. In
1880 there were % miles of road; in
1910, nearly 5000; in 1850, 5000; and
in 1861, 10000 miles were in operation.
In the past 10 years more roads have
been built than were built during the
previous forty years. Railroad build
ing is irregular. We overbuild for a
while, and then q reaction ensues. In
1882 we built IL, 800 miles; in 1888,
1000 miles; and we are at present
building about 1000 or 5000 miles a
year. The average cost of construc-
ton and equipment of q railroad is
$4,000 mile. The value of railway
property in the United States is enor-
mous-about one-seventh. it is said, of
the entire property of the republic.
The excessive building will no doubt
continue. Many persons predict that
at the close of the century we shall
probably have 100000 miles. 1t
scarcely seems credible, but it may be,
nevertheless. The trouble is that par
alleling continually goes on. The men
Immediately interested in the construc-
tion make money, and do not care fig
for the stockholders and the general
public. Enterprise is often another
name for downright swindling. -Ne,c

No error can be fraugM with more
dangerous consequences than that Of
failing to discriminate between heat
exhaustion and true sunstrske. The
former is comparatively a mild affec-
ton, which does not differ in symptoms
from any other form of acute exhaus-
ton. IL is characterized by dilated
pupils, q cold, pale, and perspiring
skin, a quick but feeble pulse, with
great general prostration, and ten
dency to syncOpe. Recovery ensues
within twenty-four hours under rest
and the administration of stimulants.
True sunstroke, or coup de soleil, is
a far more terrible affection. 1t is
characterized by contracted pupils;
hot, dry, and flushed skin; rapid and
forcible pulse; throbbing carotids;
labored or stertorous breathing, with
profound coma, or delirium and con-
vuision ending in coma. In the full
minant cases that have been observed
the unfortunate persons have dropped
dead as If struck mortal blow 10y an
unseen hand. Contrary to the popular
opinion, it is not necessary that the
patient should have been exposed to
Vic oilICtb VI Vic sun III, 10 ~ Who
noticed by many distinguished observ-
ers. and practically demonstrated by
DIR. II. 9. Wood, Jr., in his expert
ments on animals, excessive heat, and
heat alone, is the essential factor IN
this disease. Many Of the worst cases
have occurred at night, in houses, in
tents, and In narrow defiles where the
sun never entered, but where the at
mosphere was hot and sitting. 1t is,
therefore, true fever; and, as sug-
gested by DR.. Wood, should be desig
mated thermic fever, as expressive of
its exciting cause.
The treatment, which must be instl-
tuted promptly, can be summed up In
three words: Reduce the temperature.
1t is the extraordinarily high tempera-
ture which is burning up the patient,
and which, unless speedily reduced,
will cause death by paralysis of the
heart He should, therefore, be at
fresh air, his head slightly elevated,
and his whole body, especially his head
and chest, kept deluged with ice-water.
An ice-cap, in addition, should be APP
piled to the back of the head until his
temperature and pulse have fallen.
Aconite internally will probably be
found beneficial in controlling the cir
culation. Morphia, hypodermatically,
has been found to be of great value in
cases characterized by restlessness and
commissions. If the attack has come
On shortly after meal, there can be
no doubt of the propriety of at once
unloading the stomach by an emetic.
If the patient is insensible, apomorphia
-gr. one tenth-may be given hypoder-
matically. The Australian physicians
produce emesis in these cases by the
rectal injection OF twenty grains of
ipecac. They have always noticed an
abatement of the symptoms as soon as
vomiting began. Science Ne1US.

 The public road from here to Thomas IS continually changed by settlers coming in, and in every change the road becomes worse.

Tragedy at the netcalr.

Regino Ornelas, a Mexican, was killed in a drunken row at tue foot of the Metcalf Hill on Saturday morning last. A coroner's inquest was held and the facts ellcited that the deceased with others had been drinking and gambling all night at Pedro Russe's saloon, and at about 3 30 o'clock Saturday morn ing, two shots were fired and short ly afterward the body of Ornelas was found with a pistol wound through the heart. A number of witnesses were examined, but no evidence was adduced to show who fired the fatal shot.
 The following is the verdict of the coroner's jury:
 "We, the undersigned, jurors empaneled by the coroner of Ora ham county, to enquire into the cause of the death of Regino Or nelas. find that deceased was a na- tive of the City of Mexico. age 2S years, and unmarried, and that he came to his death on the morning of April 24th, 1886, from the result of a gunshot wound through the heart, and that said wound was in- iicted by the hand of some person or persons unknown to the jury"

Fishing Notes.

A fishing excursion, of which NIT Alex. Davidson was the master spirit, was organized here las week. A special train was charter ed for the occasion and Easter Sunday was the day appointed fol the iudiscriminate slaughter of the innocent little fish. 4 number oi warlike characters appeared at the depot platform on Sunday morn ing last, and the tram left prompt ly at 10 o'clock. Engineer David son, who took a fatherly interest in the affair, pulled the excursion ists down the road below the Coro- nado Ranch, where the neighbor hood not proving desirable, vote was taken and the train was back ed down to York's canyon, where it was presumed to be more satis- factory to majority of those talk ing part in the proceedings. Our reporter accompanied the crowd and relates what befel the compa- ny on their pilgrimage.
 Fred Newell had more fun than anybody. He secured four fish cost, $50, lost his teeth, and got wet.
 Davy Strang is ready for anoth- CT trip.
 About fourteen fish in all were caught.
 Tom Scott took bath-invol- untarily.
 Sig, Weisl caught two diminu- tive specimens.
 Sunday is not good day for fishing anyhow.
 Bread and milk is filling; so is salt and onions.
 Fred. Merrill didn't get much game or many fish but he had lots of fun.
 Some one forgot to put the cork ID the bottle and the bait all leak ed out.
 Henry Hill, Mann and Fred New ell are strongly suspected of know ing something about the stolen lunch.
 Alex. Davidson originated the excursion, but he says it was not his fault, that so few fish were caught.
 A Mexican boy in the party had the best success, catching the larg- est and best fish, which he sold to Fred Newell.
 The returning excursionists were the subject of considerable merri- ment to those who remained at home-they felt very cheap.
 A delegation of dudes in the out fit visited Mrs. York's ranch, os- tensibly to get something to eat but the schoolma'am wasn't home.
 The Clifton delegation desires to express thanks to Mrs. s. B. York for courtesies extended upon the occasion of their recent raid: they entertain no hard feelings against her for mistaking them for band of bloodthirsty injuns.
