TT IS probable that the city council
viii be asked to extend the time Of
employment Of the extra force Of
sanitary inspectors now engaged in the
crusade against filth in the city. The
work Of inspection is not nearly fin
ished and it IS evident to the board Of
health that it cannot be completed in
the remaining time during which they
are allowed the assistance of these ex-
ira men.
A thorough house TO house canvas

these men is secured until the work can

lieve they viii have a set Of records
that will make another crusade of this
kind unnecessary for many years TO
come. The men are being urged to
make all the speed possible, but the
authorities do not believe in making
haste at the expense of thoroughness.
Work of Inspectors.
The inspectors have been at work
about a month and half and the time
for which they were hired was only
sixty days. In the time they have been
employed a vast area of the city has
been thoroughly scrutinized and all Un-
sanitary conditions noted, but the time
necessary to do this leaves the inspect
OTs only about half through their can
vas. and with only a quarter of the full
time left to do it in.
Now that they have started the work
and it has been 50 successful as far
as It has gone. the health authorities
do not believe it would be to the good
of the city to leave the crusade half
finished.
The results obtained in the portions
Of the city already gone over, the au-
thOrities believe, are satisfactory
enough to raise a desire among the citi-
zens to have the crusade continued IN

FL Paso, Tex. April S.-A colonization
company has been organized and will
settle 10000 acres of land I'm the Rio
Grande valley below the city. Recent
experiments have demonstrated the fact
that water can be gotten from wells with
pumps to irrigate the lands at a small
cost. The land win be sold only to bona

cultivated for over 200 years. until recent
years but irrigation in New Mexico and

THE RACE WAR AT Ell DORADO, ILL.

The troubles in Adams county, Indiana and in
Ell Dorado, Saline county Illinois, were brought to pub

and individuals had thought fit to take the South to

the Souths eye when the beam in the Norths pro-

The race troubles in lei Dorado, ILL.,, have been the
worst. The Chicago Chronicle, democratic paper
but intensely anttSouthern in sentiment, in recent
issue devotes full page to account of the
troubles there, which absolutely unprovoked by
the negroes, who made to suffer simply because
of their race. The Chronicle confirms the stories
which have been printed In various papers through
out the country concerning these troubles with added
details of the cruelties porpetrated. The account
shows Enthusiastically that there is ample room for the
exercise of the zeal the Northern friends of the
