 Not Later Than March
TWAS DECIDED YESTERDAY
At an s. F. P. & P. Directors
 Meeting Held in Chicago
The Movement to Secure the Reten- ton of Whippie also Likely to Suc- ceed and the Post will be EnlarR- ed and Better Equipped.

Chicago, Jan. 25.-GSpecia'. .)-Work on the Prescott & Ease railroad, connecting the Big Bug and Chap paral mining district of Arizona with the outside, world, will begin not later than March 1. This was decided upon today at meeting of the directors of the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix fee in this city. The road will leave the main line at the Point of Rocks, five miles north of Prescott, and run in an easterly and sou-herly direc- tion twenty-six miles to Joe Mayors, at Big Bug.
 The cost of construction will be in the neighborhood of half a million dollars. The road will be operated by the s. F. P. & P. and il is expected that trains will be running over the hae not later than July 1. The opea- iLg of this railroad will mean much to Arizona. The line will tap one of the richest mining regions in the terri tory, and Prescott will be given de-
  of business.
 It now looks as if the movement to secure the retention of Fort Whippie would succeed and that the post would be we'll established army pos- with a water and sewerage system as contemplated in a law which con- gross will be asked 70 pass and with this new railroad, Prescott ought to gain largely in population and wealth. The farmers and merchants of the Salt River valley also have re4on to be pleased with the outlook. 1te Big Bug district will advance rapidly in imp0ftaffce and d%wfH afrord-a fine market for supplies from the valley. The action of the s. F. P. & P. people is certain to have a good effect on the territory at large. It attests the confidence these capitalists have in the future of Arizona and it will i.fluence other capitalists who already have their eye on the treasure territory

She came home after the exercises and it was while the two young people were spending their vacations at home they decided to run off and get married"
 John went to college, while Jennie stayed at home content to read his daily letters encoura ging her to ke p quiet and all would come out all right. The husband came home Christmas from Notre Dame. Ten days ago when his mother wanted John to go back to the university he told her he could not go, as he had a wife to look after.
 At first Mrs. Burke thought her son was joking, but when he convinced her of the truth she became angry and it was some days before she be- came reconciled.
 Miss McCormick's parents did not object to the union. They gave their parental blessings Both Mir. and Mrs. Burke have sisters who are yet single and they consider their mar riage a feat of courage. They will start housekeeping next week in a newly furnished flat at 2500 Halsted street.

: FRANKS AT STANFORD.
Nocturnal Episode That Nearly Vio-
lated the "No-Rushingv Order.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Sept. a.
mo rushing is the order which has been
given out at Stanford, but that order was
nearly violated by a false alarm which
was spread this evening among the So
phomores by large crowd of upper class
men. The sophomores, thinking the fresh
men were preparing. receded to a posi-
ton near University avenue and got
ready for rushing. 1t proved to be merely
a body of upper classmen, but they,
thinking to form a fitting finale, bore
down on the awaiting sophomores The
crash proved an entire surprise The
joke was learned too late, and juniors
and seniors We're piled pell-mell in the
dust. Mr.. Adams, editor-in-chief of Sc
quota, was among the first of the jokers
to fall.
:"I am Bristow Adams, boys; I'm Bris-
tow - he cried as he fell
80 we see!" was the response, as the
sophomores removed themselves from his
carcass
The crowd then proceeded to DR.. Jor-
dams house, and after giving him rous-
ing ovation returned to the hall. 1t is
doubtful whether the rush can be abol-
iShed

FOREsTERS' AID.
An Association That Is Ministering
to the Needs of the Sick
Soldiers

The Relief Association of the Foresters
and Companions of the Forest of America
at its meeting last night had presented TO
1t reports from the several committees
showing what work had been done since
the previous meeting. These showed that
the association, which has for its object
the rendering of aid to Foresters in the
volunteer army and TO any sick soldiers
who may need assistance, has established
two tents at the Preside, at which each
day there are number of ladies from
circles who attend to the wants of the
soldiers, particularly those in the hos
pital tents, furnishing them beef tea,
soups and delicacies. During the past
week they ministered to the wants of
from so to 12O invalid soldiers each day,
and the gratefulness of those they attend
ed repaid the Companions for all the Ia
Dor expended. The members of the asso-
citation have cheerfully volunteered their
services, and all the expenses thus far
have been met by the courts and circles.
On the 10Th an entertainment will be
given to increase the fund of the associa-
ton so that the good work may be kept

QUESTIONS OF POPULATION.

In the United States and Canada the in
crease In population is about 20 per cent
per annum, but this is partly owing to
immigration from other countries already
full. In South America, owing to the
general unhealthfulness of the country
and the mixed composition of the inhab-
itants, the increase is only about per
cent per annum, 1t being an acknowl-
edged fact that mulattoes and half
breeds cannot rival the purer races.
The vast colonies of Australia are fast
in population of about 80 per cent. and
this as in the case of the United States
and Canada, is partly owing to the enor-
nous immigration from other parts of
England, Australia has at present
small average population to the square
mile. and this Is the country that con-
gested Europe will look to as harbor
for her surplus population. Africa has
during the last few years been well ex-
plored. and from all accounts the cen
ter OF that vast continent seems to be
untitled for other than the native in
three times that of Europe; the popula-
ton is roughly estimated at 2O5,OOO, 600.
We will now come nearer home and
look at our own teeming population; that
of Ireland is las to the square mile. Scot
land 1885, whereas that of England runs
up to about 4s7 to the square mile. The
population of the British Isles in 1891 was
.764. The increase in the population
of London has been most remarkable. In
1901 the census showed S64, 900 inhabit-
ants, in 1871 there were over 1000, 600. in
1851 there were 1882 900, and in 1881
3,S15.534 while at the last census, in 1891,
there were $3.50. SOC, being an increase of
about AZ per cent in the last decade, but
many suburbs have been added since 1901.
Statistics show that the population of
this immense city, the largest in the
world, doubles Itself in about forty
three years. and it is not improbable that
in the year 1884 the population may at
tain the enormous magnitude of upward
of 100000 souls.-Westminster Review
