HIS FAMILY HONOR VERY DEAR.
Senator Daniels Struggle to Pay Oit
 the Debts His Father Left.

Senator Daniels Struggle to Pay Of
 the Debts His Father Left.
 One chapter in the life of Senator Daniel is sufficient to tell the whole story. Until now it never has been written, and it is saId to be known to less than a dozen people in the country.
 Senator Daniels father was Judge William Daniel of Lynchburg. a man of prominence and considerable wealth. Although his fortune was considerably impaired by the war, he still hal d lucrative practice. and during the ten years which succeeded he was among those who foresaw the great commer- ciaI development of the country. and interested himself in numerous specula- tive enterprises. But he was sanguine to the point of being visionary. Every thing seemed to him promising, and it was his habit. when approached with any new scheme. first to subscribe for SlO.oOO worth of stock. and then to ask what was the nature of the enter prise.
 In 1873, when he died, it was found that his estate was hOpelessly insolv- cnt. There were claims by creditors over ana aDb\t lnt assets ttlllt'lliltIS lt' more than $lOO.0O0. These claims rhe son John assumed. He had been prac ticing law in his fathers office but there was no obligation on him of a moral or legal character. The schemes and speculations had been entered into without his Knowledge or advice. The bankruptcy law afforded a wide door for escape. He could have wiped the slate clean and started the world anew But he chose otherwise. To him it seemed that the only honorable course was to pay his fathers debts in full and with interest, if it took all the earnings of his life to do so. Accord ingly he notified the creditors of his ln- tention and began upon his herculcan task.
 That was twenty-seven years ego. Sixty thousand dollars of the indebted ness has been paid. Senator Daniels is 56 years old. All these years he has paid over the greater part of his in come to his fathers creditors. He lives on less than 5000 a year. When he

known as the Raquette Lake railway bill, was passed on June 20 of last year. while the road was under construction. and was immediately signed by RoOse- welt.
 The state law protecting the game and fish preserves in the Adirondacks is UnmistalIable in it's terms. It pro- vides that 'the lands of the state, now owned or hereafter acquired, cOnstitu ting the forest preserves as now fixed by law, shall be forever kept as wild forest lands. They shall not be leased. sold or exchanged, or be taken by any corporation, public or private, nor shall the timber thereon be sold removed or destroyed"
 And yet the Raquette Lake railway was incorporated February ', 1899, to build a street surface railroad from a station on the Mohawk & Malone rail- road, Clearwater, in Herkimer county. to Raquette lake, town of Long Lake, Hamilton county, nineteen miles.
 The capital stock was r million doi- lars, divided into 2.500 shares. Among the stockholders are w. Seward Webb, C. ?. HuntintOn, J. Pierpont Morgan. w. C. Whitney, H. P. Whitney and Chauncey M. DepeW.

TUCSON's ARTEsIAN WELL.

The electric light company has struck a good flow of water at 217 feet and has stopped drilling pending a test of the water The well is artesian and the water has risen to within thirty feet of the top. The cost of drilling and cas- ing the well is approximately $G00. Here again attention is called to the fact that there is arJesian water in the valley and that there is also plenty of land lying idle. To put that land to some use would be d step towards es- tablshing Tucson even more perma- nently and firmly in d high position among Arizona toWns.-Citizen.

WHERE IS ALVORD?

The memory of the famous jail break view in a forest of catclaw Is again stirred by the filing in the district court of q suit for divorce by Mrs. Lola Al word. The ground for the divorce is desertion which as a matter of fact is undeniabe and very plain from the fact that Alvord cannot come back if he wants to. The news stirs up a speculation too as to what has become of the man. The opinion is common that he came to his death in the hills at the hands of Stiles but no one knows enough about the matter to hazard more than a speculation Citizen.

ITO PLEASE HIS OLD FRIEND"
MT. Platt Rushed Through an Irregu-
 lar Bill for Huntington.


 
 The death of Collis r. Huntingdon at his camp in the far Blue mountain re- zion of the Adirondacks has directed public attention to the little nineteen mile railroad which penetrates the states forests, quite contrary to law. to land small cOterie of millionaires conveniently al the doors Of their summer homes.
 This road-styled the Raquette Lake railway-has but very recently been completed. When the bill chartering it was before the state legislature those who protested against its passage wers told by Boss Platt;
 "This is not an organization measure. l simply wish to please my old friaHd, Collis P. Huntington"
 So this toy for mlliOnaires was ordered. It mattered not that the route lay directly through one of the most beautiful sections Of the states game and fish preserves: it mattered not that mountain sides had to be wrecked by dynamite and pretty glades filled in with new soil to make proper grades for the roadbed: the direct violation Of the states laws and the trespass upon the states property were ignored. for Platt wished to please his old friend Coilis r. Huntington
 Huntington. W. West Durant. Tim othy Woodruff and few other wealthy camp owners wished to be able to travel in their private cars direct to their camp landings and be relieved of the necessity to make the trip over land and lake, as do others who make sum mer pilgrimages into the far north woods
 Timothy Woodruff. deeply interested himself. was at the head of the forest preserve board.
 The Raquette Lake railway was chartered-first as an electric railway. Then. last year. there Was introduced in the legislature by Platts whip. John Raines. d bill which ended as follows: Where a street surface railroad in tn" counties of Herkimer and Hamilton is located wholly outside the limits of an incorporated city or village. such rail- road may. with the approval of the state board of railroad commissioners. be operated by locomotive steam power. provided that such steam power IS generated by oil"
 All of this bill was old except the last sentence, referring. without naming i,. to the Raquette Lake railroad. It was
