the Brooks next Sunday evening: As
it is some weeks since black face ar
lists appeared on a local stage, it is
not improbable that few nights Of

Richards G. Pringle organization has
made several visits to Guthrie in the
past and has generally made a good
impression. II is said to be as strong
as ever, many Of the old favorites
having been retained and a number
of new first class men having been

PRESIDENT RIPLEY
DENIES ALLIANCE
General Manager Mudge's
Interview Was Simply
a Bluff

Some surprise was caused by the
conflicting statements given out by
General MANAGE Il-e Aad Pror'-
dent Ripley Of the Santa Fe. regard
ing an alliance with the Rock lslaad.
A short time ago Nudge came our in
Z, ii,,nsss, sutervie.s confirming the re
port of an alliance with the Rock L..
land whereby each would use sections
of the others tracks ia going TO the
coast The Rock Island especially
would 20 from El Paso west over
long stretch Of Santa Fe track while
the Santa Fe by means of the alliance
could abandon the New Mexico cui-
lon. Now after a week President Rip
LEY has come out and denied it an.
There Is to be no alliance he says ard
the Santa Fe cutoff win be built as
planned
When General Manager Nudge gave
out this statement it was the impress.
sion that such an alliance would send
the trunk line work through Dodge
City instead Of through Wichita This
later development leaves this matter
as it was and the Santa Fe win no
doubt carry out it's plan to make the
Panhandle a through route
But reports from the east of the al
liiance made between the Rock Island
and the Union and Southern Pacific
have clarified the situation considera-
bly, and tend TO show that the Rock
island simply used the Santa Fe as a
tool to swing the Hartman systems
into its line
A report fom the east throws some
Tight on the matter The Chicago Tri-
bune says:
1T turns out that the reported al
lliance between the Rock Island and
the Union and Southern Pacific rail-
ways is a long time legal traffic con
tract similar to those made between
the Northwestern and the Milwaukee
and St Paul with the Union Pacific.
IT, G. Stubbs. traffic director of the Har-
riman roads. returned to New York
yesterday with the contract in his pos
session. but said he was not at liberty
at this time to give out any details.
ut is learned, however, that the
Rock Island gains a number Of con-
lcessions from the Southern Pacific,
both on freight and passenger traffic
via FL Paso while on traffic via the
Ogden gatewsy & is put cn the same
footing with the Northwestern and
Milwaukee and ST. Paul roads. which
have through train privileges over the
Union and Southern Pacific roads

The Periods of Growth.

Children born between September
and February are, some authorities
state. not as tall as those born in sum
mer and spring months. and the growth
Of children is much more rapid from
March till August The eXremities
grow rapidly up 20 the sixteenth year;
then there is a slow growth until the
thiiueth year. The legs chiefly grow
between the tenth and seventeenth
years. Comparing the general results,
it appears that there are six periods Of
growth. The first extends up to the
sixth or eighth Jear and is one Of very
rapid growth; the second period. from
eleven TO fourteen years. growth Is
slow; the third period, from sixteen to
seventeen; the fourth period shows a
slow growth up to the age Of thirty for
height, up TO ffty for chest girth; the
fifth period is one Of rest, the sixth a
decrease i'm the body.

90 high up into the mountains and live
on the fruit Of that cow" Although
he knew nothing Of the cause Of phthi-

EIGHTH WARDERS OBJECT
TO HEAVY EXPLOSIONS
Ordinance Will Be Passed
Governing Use of Powder
and Dynamite in Blasting

Residents in the northeastern section Of
the city. particularly in the vicinity Of
Eleventh street bridge. are complaining
of The heavy blasting at the quarry in
Thatcher street. It Is claimed that on
many occasions houses in that locality
have been shaken 10 their foundation and
window glass broken, as a result Of heavy
blasts.
Pieces Of rock have been known to fan
IN IIirkwood Park and for the protection
Of lie and limb, it is proposed to have an
ordinance passed by City Council regu-
latlng the quantity of powder or dynamite
to be used in blasting. Councilman Reilly
OF the Eighth ward mas brought the mat
ter before City Council AMI City Solicitor
Robert G.. Harman. and Il IS expected
that some action will be taken within a
short time.
At present there IS no law governing
the quantity of exploding material to be
used in blasts and City Solicitor Harman
Is Of the opinion that Council can pass
an ordinance to that effect There As d
law, however, which provides that gun
powder must be stored in quantities OF
not more than so pounds I'm anyone place
but Il has no bearing on the present oase.
When the above law was enacted dyna.
mite was unknown or practically in as
infancy. and It is the opinion of Mr.. Har
man that an ordinance should be PASSED
