AFTERMATH OF TUG-OF.WAR.
Anchor Man of Portuguese Team
Haunts the Police Station.

HauntS the Police Station.
The anchor of the Portuguese team
is sure now that they are after him.
He did not sleep we'll Sunday night on
account of the inklings he had gotten
of the i'll feeling against him, and rose
early yesterday morning. He thought
the safest place for him would be the
Police Station, so he sauntered down
that way. Portuguese to the number Of
about 20 followed him down and gath
cred just opposite the Police Station,
where they began conversing in angry
tones. Soon the anchor man ran across
and into the Police Station doorway,
complaining to Captain Parker that his
countrymen had threatened to kill him.
Captain Parker walked over to the
group and tried to find out who had
done the threatening. Of course, no
one volunteered an affirmative answer
but one fellow spoke up, saying: 1--WE
told him we don't want him here any
more. The best thing he can do is to
get out of the country"
In a conversation with one Of the
Portuguese who had quite little to do
with the tug-of-war, that man said: L
do not think the anchor man sold the
contest, but I do believe that he was
intoxicated when he went upon the
platform I firmly believe that the ma
tives could not have beaten our team if
the men had all been in their normal
condition.

SANTA FE AFTER COPPER.
Their New Proposed Line to the
Grand Canon Will Tap Inn
menSe Beds

Denver, July IA special dispatch to
the Republican from Phoenix, Ariz.,
gives further particulars of the Santa
Fe line to the Grand Canon, from Will
liams, mentioned in yesterday dispatch
eS. 1t says:
The route considered is directly north
TO the canon at O'Neill's point, a dis
lance of So miles, thence branching east
and west. The eastern branch would
skirt the canon to the well known
Hance trail, 25 miles; the western
branch would take the traveller to the
rim above Cataract Greek canon, the
Yosemite of the southwest. No engi-
neering difficulties are in the way, as
the route is wholly over a level pine
covered plateau.
The tourist travel into the Grand Can
on region has grown so heavy that the
promoters of the line believe it would
pay on the passenger traffic alone aid
ed as it would be by the provisions of a
specific tax exemption act passed by the
last legislature.
Yet the main business feature attend
ing the construction lies in the fact
that the line will for Is miles traverse
one of the richest copper bearing sec
lions of Arizona, a district newly dis
covered, where millions of tons of ore
have been exposed but cannot be work
ed because of lack of transportation.

PAPER TELEGRAPH POLES.
Stanch and Reliable, They Fool the
Busy Woodpecker.

New York, July Now that a large
number of telegraph lines that were put
up many years since need renewal the
announcement is timely that the latest
adaptation of paper is to telegraph and
telephone poles. These poles are said
to be staunch and reliable, possessing a
toughnesS which gives them exceptional
weather-resisting power and durability
over a long period.
Such a pole would be extremely well
come in Oregon, where they have a
busy woodpecker which makes it's lar
der in the telegraph poles. Like the
ant of La Fontaine, it lays in a stock
of acornS for the winter, and chooses
for it's storehouse, by preference, the
top of cedar telegraph poles. After
pecking a hole in the wood the bird in
serts the nut and drives it home with
strokes of his beak. No less mischiev-
Gus a pest is the Norway woodpecker,
which is deluded by the humming of the
telegraph poles, and thinking there is
swarm of insects inside, bores the pole
through and through to reach them.
1t has been objected to the paper
poles that they will serve but a tenn
porary purpose, as before long all wires
will be carried in cOnduits. The in
ventor of the paper pole says this con-
tingency does not disturb him, for by
the time it arrives he will have a paper
conduit to put the wires into.

AMONG RAILROAD MEN.
Santa Fe to Adopt the Brown
System August 1.
LIS a System of Demerit Marks
for Violations.
Employees Will Receive Marks In
stead of Layofs-When the
Agreed Number is Reach
ed Discharge Follows.

An important change as regards en-
pIoyes of the operating department of the
road will take effect on the Atchison, To-
peka & Santa Fe railway on August 1.
on that day the Brown system of disci-
pline in the government of employees will
be inaugurated.
This is the system of demerit marks
in cases of violation of rules or neglect OF
duty now in force on any of the largest
railroads of the United States. Two years
ago it was inaugurated on the Southern
Pacific a year ago the M, K. & T. and
Rock Island roads adopted it, and last
week it was established the Georgia
Southern railway. The Santa Fe will
now join the procession.
After August 1 suspensions will be
things of the past on the Santa Fe. In
stead of receiving lay off for ten, TWEEN
ty, thirty or sixty days, employee of
the engine or train service who violates
rules, neglects duty or fails in any man
ner to carry out his work properly will
be charged with so many dement's, the
number to be regulated by the gravity of
the Offense When the number of de-
merits reaches the limit, some road so,
on others 80, and still on others 100, the
employee is discharged. Discharge under
the system is final
III lHe OIlce Oh 0dcn DIVISION SupeTlH-
tendent a book containing the record of
every employe in the engine and train SER
vice on the respective divisions will be
kept. Every employee will have the right
to inspect his own record, but no en-
plOye will be allowed to see that of
other. In this book dement's will be en-
tered for every offense, and every en-
ploye will know his exact standing.
Three years of service without "a de-
merit mark wipes out all demerit marks
received prior to that time under this
system.
Collisions, drunkenness and gross or i'm
system. In all of these instances dis
charge will follow after the Inauguration
of the system it does at present.
The system will in way affect inves-
LEGATIONS. Investigations will be carried
on at present, but when a man is found
to have violated a rule or neglected his
duty he will be charged with demerit
marks instead of being suspended from
service for stated length of time.
The limit of demerit marks has not yet
been decided upon on the Santa Fe.
Representatives of the o. R. C. and B. of
L. q. have held one conference with Gem
action has been taken. Another confer
ence will be held and the details of the
system agreed upon.
1t is possible that the Inauguration of
the system on the Santa Fe road proper
may result in its adoption on the entire
Santa Fe system.

A WEEPING ELM.
Phenomenal Discovery in the White
House Grounds,

Washington, July There is a phe-
nomenon near the northeast corner of
the White House, which has attracted
the attention of several people, notably
the policemen who do duty ON the
grounds.
1t is black elm tree and it stands
on the side of the asphalted side walk
which leads from the northeast gate
to the White House. During the very
warm, clear days of the past few weeks
it has been noticed that the pavement
under the tree was wet, as if it had
been sprinkled.
Investigations revealed that the water
or wha tever kind of fluid it is comes
from the tree. 1t always falls in the
dryest of weather and keeps the pave
xnent well SprinkIed. Various reasons
have been given for the phenomenon,
but so far none of a scientific nature.
