IF we are to have colonies, we
must have a big navy to protect
them,-- declared President Roosevelt
as he signed the naval appropriation
bill passed by congress yester-

true-if we are to have colonies we
must have a big navy to protect
them, but how long since the repub-
licans have been admitting the colo
NAL idea. Was not the impefuous
president .trifie too rank that time?

Death of Mir. Garvin.

at Terminal Island, Cal, Wed nesday. Mir. Garvin was section foreman here and at St. Joseph for several years, and all who knew him held him in high esteem as an honest, hardworking man, good to his family, good to his neighbors and always a good citizen.
 Besides his family who have been with him in California. he has two daughters, Mrs. Levi NJ. Savage, of this place, and Miss Zilpha Garvin of Winslow, also sister, Mrs. Zilpha Moon ey, who resides here. The rel. atives from here went down to St. Joseph today, where the re- mains will be laid to rest as soon as they arrive which will probab- ly be tomorrow.
 The Los Angeles Times has the following report of his untimely death:
 P. L. Garvin, an aged section boss with a wife and seven child ren dependent on him, was de- capitated by a train on the Salt Lake road this morning.
 The wheels of two freight cars passed over his neck, severlng the head from the body as quick ly and surely as would the death dealing French guillotine. The shocking tragedy was purely ac- cidental and the crew in charge of the train are exonerated from blame.
 Garvin was about 50 years of age, and had been in the employ of the Salt Lake Railroad Com- pany for a number of years as section foreman. Yesterday he had been looking after the com- pany's bath-house at the upper end of the island, after which he started for home. Seeing the switching train going his way he decided to ride down. The cars were moving slowly and the old man got aboard and climbed to the top of one of the box cars without difficulty.
 While standing at one end. the train suddenly gave a forward jerk, precipitating Garvin down onto the rails between the cars. Before the crew discovered that he had fallen of, two cars had passed over his neck. The head was completely severed from the trunk and rolled several feet away from the track. Death had evidently been instantaneous the wheels catching the unfortun- ate mans throat the instant he touched the ground.
 Deceased lived in frame house located near the Crescent Lumber Company's wharves, east San Pedro. There widow and sev-

NO RELIEF APPARENT
IN COAL SITUATION

So far as is known there has been
no actual suffering for want of coal
in this city, but there is no increase
n the amount being received by the
local dealers. Yesterday the Port By
ron Lime association had the only ear
of coal brought in by the Burlington
and today the Coal Valley Mining
company had but one car out of
which all the dealers supplied by that
company were delivering. Lately the
wires have been kept hot telegraph
ing to the mines all over the state,
but invariably without result.
Generally there has been DISPOSE
ton to do the right thing in the matter
of prices, but a wholesale dealer from
an adjoining city is charged with
holding a dozen cars on the tracks in
this city, paying demurrage and wait
ing for a rise in prices.

RING WORM AND DANDRUFF
They Are Each Cured by a Pestiferous


They Are Each Cured by a Pestiferous
Germ.
Ring worm and dandruff are some
what similar in their origin; each is
caused by parasite. The germ that
causes dandruff digs to the root of
the hair. and saps it vitality, causing
falling hair, and, finally. badness.
Without dandruff there would never
be badness, and to cure dandrutf it
is necessary to kill the germ. There
has been no hair preparation that
would do this until the discovery of
Newbro's Herpicide, which positively
kills the dandruff germ, allays itch
ing instantly and makes hair glossy

there is any reason in, and figures this
way:
Cost of Mining In Illinois.
Il have found that in Illinois coaT
miner gets 10 7-10' cents a ton for min
ing coal. The freight rate from north
ern Indiana to Chicago is 60 cents a
ton, from southern Indiana 90 cents.
tits no more than 81 from any point
in Illinois to Chicago, and therefore
Illinois soft coal ought to be laid down
in Chicago f. o. b. at not more than
$50 cost to the operator. The price
of from S4.15 to IS n ton for Illinois
soft coal is therefore preposterous.
What Pennsylvanls Mines Get.
Pennsylvania miners get at the
highest 81 cents per ton for mining
anthracite coal. The freight to Chica-
go is about $1.5O a ton. The price
in Chicago should therefore be some
where in the neighborhood of So a ton
