A. B. JOHNSON
Again In This Country Look
Ing After Affairs for Big
Company Operating
In Philippines.

Hon. A. B. Johnson. ex-U. S.
Consul to the port of Annoy. China,
left for the east last night on train
No. 6. He goes to Denver and from
there to the east to consult with his
financiers upon the many projects he
has under away in the Philippines.
Just before leaving Mr.. johnson
accodred The Sentinel editor short
interview. He has just completed
large electric lighting plant at Iloilo.
one of the chief cities of the Philip
pines. In charge of this plant is his
brother. W. r johnson. formerly
from here.
He says that the plant is successful
beyond his expectations and he will
enlarge and improve it and to operate
street railways in the future
The chief work to which Mr.. John
son is devoting his attention. is the
construction OF the electric street rail
way in the city of Manila. AS is
generally known the last time Mr..
johnson was here he had obtained a
franchise to build and operate rail
way in rhe city of Manila. This was
considered by Amer ican financiers one
of the choicest concessions that had
been given to any American. To
build this road he is now in this
country to purchase supplies and to
consult with those who are financier-
ing the affair, as the capital required
reaches several million dollars.
Mr.. johnson was looking very we'll.
although little aged since he left
this city first He has become man
of large affairs. through his associa-
tions with eminent Chinese who have
important holdings in the Philip
pines.
He says the Philippines are prosper
ous and that the natives are settling
down to American rule graciously.
While here yesterday, Mr.. johnson
was the guest of his brother. Russell
johnson on Ouray avenue. He here
met his sister also, Mrs. John d.
Reeder. of DeBeque. to whom he had
wired to meet him in this city, as his
stay was limited.
The number of miles of street rail
way which is now under construction
in the city of Manila is forty This
work has actually begun according to
Mr.. Johnson's statement and he takes
the trip east to purchase the motive
power, especially. The money for the
project was long ago subscribed and
there is an abundance more available
at any time.
In conjunction with the Iloilo elec-
trio plant is an ice plant of large ca.
pacity, which is making good money.

PASSES AWAY.
Hon. Meade Hammond Died
At His Late Home in Pa
Onia, Delta County
Last Night.

Hon. Meade Hammond. of Paonia.
died last night at his home at that
place.
This word was received in this city
this morning by phone by A. N.
Bucklin. exalted ruler of the Elks
lodge, from brother of the deceased
Fred Hammond, at Paonia.
The immediate cause of death was
Bright's disease. Although Mr..
Hammond has been a sick man for
many months past and unable to do
any work whatever He was arrang
ing to take southern trip. when the
summons came.
Hon. @. Meade Hammond was one
of the best known public men on this
side Of the range. He was elected to
and served in the Twelfth and Thir-
teenth general assemblies of this
state. as a momber from Delta coun-
ty. In the Legislative body he took a
foremost position as strong debater
and was generally recognized as a
leader in the body. He was a man
of large physical mould. Of determin-
ed character and had manner of
forcefulness that commanded recogni-
tion.
He was member of the state board
or commission that had the construc-
tion of the Gunnison canal project in
hand. previous to the government
taking hold of same He, worked for
the passage of the bill through the
Legislature and was active in securing
the passage OF other measures. He
was hale fellow we'll met every
where. He had a jovial spirit which
brooked no restraint and was liked
by all who knew him. He was quick
in manner and was no mean antago-
mist in debate.
He has resided in the county OF
Delta for many years. 1t is believed
that he was born in Pennsylvania and
later moved with his family to Iowa
and from there to this state at an
early date in the states history.
He was a member of the Elks or
ganization in this citv. having Joined
sometime last year. He thought a
great deal of the lodge and its men,
be1s here and was always most well
come member when here. He knew
almost everybody ON the western
slope and was known by everybody.
In all probability a delegation OF
Elks will go from this city to attend
his 1uneraI. which will take place at
his home in Paonia on Friday after
noon.

Hold-Up Captured.

Denver. Oct. 6.-While standing
on step ladder washing the windows
of his fuel and feed store at 1862 Lar
inner street this afternoon. Lewis S.
Tuttle, formerly sergeant of police.
was accosted by a stranger who had
entered the place and ordered him to
hold up his hands. Tuttle turned,
and found him ,elf gazing into the
muzzle of big pistol.
The former veteran policeman made
a pretense of complying with the de-
marid. and the next moment. as the
vigilence of the holdup was slightly
relaxed, he sprang from the ladder
upon the astonished desperate. In
an instant Tuttle grappled with the
man who had been carried to the
floor. He secured the hodlup's re-
volver. and soon beat him into sub
mission with it. The police were
notified and the would-be robber was
landed in jail.

 The legislature had no power to To. cate where the United States court should be held, that matter being wholly to be determined by the judges as members of the supreme court, but 1t is understood that all the judges who recommend the new formation of the judicial districts have agreed that the federal court of the Second judi cial district shall hereafter be held at Tombstone. This loca tion of the court will also be an accommodation to the people of Graham county. who in the past have been required to attend United States court at Florence. .-Bul- letin.

The law does not recognize mining as public utility and the right of em- inent domain cannot be exercised in come ction with mining operations, unless such operations are clearly a public benefit. The fact that mining in a general way is beneficial to the community and the state in which the operation are conducted is recognized but the benefit must be of more di- rect sort than this. One cannot build a pipeline or Hume over the land of an other without the consent of theIown- CT, and the builder of an aerial tram may not even string a wire over the property of another, though the tow.

TO STUDY DESERT GROWTHS
A Branch of the Carnegie Institute to Be Lo.
 cated at Tucson.

cated at Tucson.
 A botanical laboratory for the study of desert growth will be established near Tucson. It will be branch of the Carnegie institute which is established in Washington for the further study of all plant life. Ten millions Of dol lars has been donated by MT. Carnegie for this purpose and branch labOrato- rieS are being esta bliShed in different parts of the world to study the flora of the respective sections. and this is the first and only institution of its kind in the world for the exclusive study of the desert plants.
 All the arrangements for the new in- sttution are nearly completed. The grounds have been selected, the con tract for the building has been award ed and the chamber of commerce met this afternoon and perfected all the plans which they agreed to do in fos- tering the institution and in a few days active work on the grounds will commence. The building and expert mental fields will be located about three miles west of Tucson, in the Tue son mountains and the laboratory will be built in the side of the mountain overlooking the city.
 The institution will be in the charge of Dr. Cannon, now of the New York botanical laboratory, who has won laurels by his researches in his profes- sion.
 What this institution will accom- plSh time alone will tell. The facts that will be found out within it's walls will be applied to the vast acreage of desert lands. The primary idea of the laboratory is the study of the geology and physiology of the desert fora. Not much attention will be paid to the plants that have life, spring mp, bloom and decay in the short period when we have rain, but to the grass and herbs that grow ill the sumner when we have no rain and live through the drouth. They will alSD see what changes and conditions have wrought upon plants. Although the institution is purely scientific in its nature the facts ascert lined, which otherwise would never be known, will be taken up by the university and applied prac- tically, so the two institutions will work in conjun ;tion in trying to re. store vegetation to the desert lands.- Citizens.

Arbor Day.

Today is Arbor Day, and all
over Oklahoma the school child
rem and property owners are
planting trees which in a few
years will be worth a great deal
to the school grounds, city resi-
dence lots, farmers, or roadsides
thus beautified. But the good
work should not stop with what
is done today. Any day for a
month or two ear be very fitting
ly observed as an arbor day.
Good sized trees, suitable for
transplanting, may be had for a
small sum, and the little boys
around town would be glad to
earn a few dimes by bringing in
such trees from the timber. If
you didn't plant a tree today,
make up your mind to have an
extra session of this Arbor Day
business and plant a number of
them later on.

The Prayer and social meeting

in commenting on the lesson re-
viewed the history of Southern
Methodism in Anadarko, showing
that the 115 Southern Methodists

Horseback Survey Being Made.


Oklahoma City, March IA
horseback survey for the FL Paso,
Mountain Park and Oklahoma
Central is being made from st.
Louis 10 the mouth of Snowy
river, Gulf of California. The
survey is a short line from st.
Louis to the Pacific, passing
through Missouri, Oklahoma,
western Texas, southeastern New
Mexico, entering into Mexico
from FL Paso. The Route has
been located from Mountain Park
Oklahoma to Quanah, Texas. 1t
is not given out what interests are
behind the survey but ii is stated
that it is backed by Kansas City,
st. Louis and New York capital.
1t is thought this is a move of
one of the railways entering st.
Louis to secure a trans-continen-
tai line.

The Last Day OF the legislature.

10y " ~ LNkoAahANs
Today will be the last day of
the legislature-the seventh that
Oklahoma has entertained. 1t
will mark the close of an assem-
bly, that has not been in any sem
sational sense remarkable, and
therein is its best recommend
alton. The legislatures that enact
the fewest laws are sometimes
the best. The legislatures that
create the least furore are some
times the most worthy of the peo-
pie who make them. 1t has been
frequently surmised that the ex-
piring legislature is the probably
last assembly that Oklahoma will
have as a territory. 1t is prob
able that the members of this
legislature have a feeling of that
sort. They are no doubt con-
WINGED that the creation of a state
from Oklahoma territory is a mat
ter of the near future. Among
the acts of this assembly there
are several measures that are for
the good of the people. There
are few if any that are of doubt
full utility. There has been a very
small element Of the freak sort Of
legislation. There has been little
tendency to %sumptuary laws.
The city of Guthrie has been
glad to have the assembly of
distinguished men here this win
ter. 1t has been trying to take
care of them in a fitting manner.
1t has hopes that in future years
these men of the seventh legis-
lative assembly will return to
Guthrie as the members of a
state Legislature and enact laws
for one of the greatest of states
instead of the great territory of
Oklahoma which is now being
legislated for.-StateC apital.

Inc HIgh Waters Sim Threnten.

At the Kansas City Offices of
the Missouri Pacific railway it
was stated last evening that the
company's tracks had so far suf-
fered no damage from the high
waters of the Missouri river and
it was believed that the time of
greatest danger had passed. Ac-
cording to Geographic dispatches
from Lincoln, Neb., yesterday
afternoon the breaking of ice
gorges had threatened the COM
pany's main line between Kansas
City and Omaha for a distance of
several miles. Yesterdays trains
from Omaha arrived on schedule
time.
Patrick Connor, weather OBJ
server, predicted last night that
the rise in the Missouri river at
Kansas City between yesterday
morning and this morning would
amount to about two and one
half feet. This would bring the
river up to the fourteen foot
mark, which is seven feet below
the danger line. Mr.. Conner be-
lieves that by Saturday the river
will fall.-Star.
