construction of railroad 1865 miles
long from Clifton. via Gallup, New

mayor of Durango and president Of

range. Is the principal mover In the
project. The road would traverse a
section of Arizona and New Mexico
now without railroads. At Gallup Ii
would cross the Santa Fe and would
cross the southwest corner OF the Nav.
njo Indian reservation. At Clifton 1t
would connect with the Arizona &
New Mexico road, which extends sew
cnty-onc miles from Clifton to Lords
burg, on the Southern Pacific. giving
n short and direct route from Durango
to FL Paso and Mexico.
The line would be of great benefit to
the Durango smelters, as It would
open scores OF mining properties and
would make 1t easy to ship Mexican
ores TO be smeltcd.

DENVER SALOONS ARE
NOW OPEN TO WOMEN

Denver, May 27.-The close season
on the midnight and Sunday restau-
rant-saloon in Denver has been official
ly declared off by Judge Palmer in the
district court and by the fire and police
board in obedience to the action of the
court. Judge Palmer also decided that
women were entitled to the same privi-
lege as men to purchase liquors. This
decision was the result of n petition
for an injunction filed by ]. J. Cronin,
who conducts the saloon and wine
room at Eighteenth and Champa
streets.
The opening of the saloons after mid
night and on Sunday was the result of
an application for an injunction made
by /. +. Stauer of the Chesapeake Oys-
ter & Fish Company against the fire
and police board of the city restrain
ing the board from interfering with
him in the selling of liquors with
meals.
Judge Palmer issued the injunction
without hesitation. The application of
the plaintiff recites that the board and
chief of police are acting in violation
of the statute in interfering with the
sale of liquors Mt meals.
The arguments used in the case of
. Cronin's application We're that women
have the same rights as men in this
state and these rights extend to the
purchase of liquors at the public bars.
If the suit is decided in favor of Gro
min 1t will have the effect of intro
ducing an Anglican feature into our
civilization.
Concerning the action of the police
authorities in the matter. President
Adams of the fire and police board
said there would be no attempt to close
restaurants Sunday because liquor was
sold.
Police Commissioner Bottom ex-
pressed himself in much the same
language as President Adams.
1--WE will refer this matter to the
city attorney and he can file his an
swer as soon ms he pleases. Until the
injunction is dissolved. however, they
should all be treated alike"
Excise Commissioner Griffith was in
favor Of bringing the matter to a hear
ing as soon as possible.

Brooklyn navy yard. 1t was for that
day the finest war vessel Of its class

10000 yards of canvass With it's sails

Our country was at peace then with

great ape. He soon caught glimpse
of him between two branches of a

from this lofty hiding place, he fired
twice, and struck him each time IN
the lower jaw, with the result that
he lost his hold on the tree and came
crashing down through the branches.

only then did Herr Paschen realize
that no man before him had ever
killed such large gorilla. He or
dered the negroes who accompanied
him to skin the animal, but to take
care not to injure the skeleton. This
they did, and then the gorilla's flesh
was eaten by the older negroes, but
not by the younger ones, since they
believe that there is something of
human spirit in a gorilla, and that
harm would come to them If they de-
voured him.
Immediately after killing the ami
NAL Herr Paschen took a photograph
of him in a sitting position, in which
he was placed and held by three
strong negroes. This photograph
shows clearly the great size of the
gorilla. On his return to Germany
