New Health Laws.
amount

The county board of health wishes to inform the public of the provisions of the new health law, entitled 'An Act to protect public health," says the Copper Era.
 It provides for the establishment of county boards of health which shall have supervision of county sanitary affairs; and for the estab- lishment of city boards of health in all incorporated cities. towns and villages. It further states that "whenever any nuisance, source of filth or cause of sickness is found on private ground, any member of the local board of health may order the owner or occupant thereof, at his own expense, to remove the same within twenty-four hours, and such order may be given to such owner or occupant personally, or at his usual place of abode" On failure to comply the board may cause the removal of nuisance and collect expense of same from the owner or occupant as fines are col lected.
 Whenever it becomes known to a physician or other person that con- tagious diseases exist, it becomes his duty to immediately report name of afflicted person and his place of residence to the board of health. All hotel, boarding or lodging house keepers must comply with above when a sick person is in their property within twentyfour hours. No one shall remove per son afflicted with contagious dis ease or body dying from such with out permit from the local or ter ritorial board of health.
 All children must be vaccinated. No children suffering from, or from families in which there exists, con- tagious disease, shall be permitted to attend school until permission is granted by the local board of health.
 Any physician or midwife hay ing attended case of confinement shall, within five days thereafter, furnish for registration to county health superintendent, certificate of the date of birth, sex and color of the child, with the names, dates, and places of birth of the parents.
 Parents shall notify local health officer of the births and deaths of their children; each householder shall give like notice of births and deaths of their children; each house. holder shall give notice of births and deaths occurring in his house. Whoever neglects or refuses to give such notice within a period of ten days after the occurrence of a birth or death; "and any person who shall violate any published order or regulation made by any local board of health shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and punished by a fine not exceeding one hundred dollars, or by imprisonment in the county jail not exceeding thirty days, or both"

SANTA FEE AND ROCK ISLAND
Trackage Agreement Between the Two
 Roads Officially Announced.

Roads Officially Announced.
 President c. B. Eddy of the Fl Paso < Northeastern system made an official announcement to the Evening News on August 26, which, though it has been predicted for many days, has never been officially confirmed. That is the announce ment of the trackage alliance be- tween the Santa Fe, the Rock Island and the Fl Paso and North eastern systems.
 This announcement was simply stated as follows by President Eddy in a note to The News:
 "The Rock Island has given the Santa Fe a tiackage agreement from Liberal, Kansas, to Santa Rosa, and the El Paso & North eastern has given trackage to Llano on it's line. In return the Santa Fe has agreed to give trackage to the Rock Island from Llano to Albu- querque."
 This gives the Rock Island access to Albuquerque from Llano ar.d is a great thing for the Duke city, as it gives it an outlet by another system.
 Although no official notice has been given, it is stated by the rail- road men here that the notice of the agreement is sufficient to an acknowledgement of the oft-repeat- ed story of the absorption of the Santa Fe by the Rock Island.
 The trackage agreement with the Santa Fe from Liberal to Santa Rosa will stop, it is claimed, the building of the cutoff from Dodge City to Liberal, which has been contemplated by the A., T. & s. F. and gives the latter line a much shortened line into Santa Rosa and Llano, where its cutoff is being built from Belen.
 The announcement means that the long anticipated outlet of the | Rock Island has been secured to the Pacific coast and that Albu- querque instead of Fl Paso will be the through point of the Rock Island in the western business.
 Llano station, on the Ell Paso & Northeastern, is the junction point of the Santa Fe cutoff, or the Albu- querque Eastern railroad, which joins the Santa Fe branch to Fl Paso, at Belen, a few miles below Albuquerque, and which is ulti- mately intended to tap the Pecos Valley x Northeastern branch at Roswell, N. M. Thus the distance of about 225 miles to this city will be cut off the road, as the El Paso & Northeastern system will be used by the Rock Island, under tLe new agreement only from Santa Rosa to Llano Instead of from Santa Rosa into Fl Paso, as is now the case.
 The new route will give the Rock Island Pacific outlet, which will make it the shortest trans-conti- mental line in the country. It is already more than day shorter in the route between Chicago and the west and this use of the cutoff through Albuquerque will shorten the distance to the Pacific a num- Der of additional miles.
 The change will make the route to Fl Paso branch line, as is the case with the Santa Fe to this city from Albuquerque. The change will not affect the prosperity of this city materially, as the through business here had very little to do with the growth of Fl Paso.
 The additional road into Albu- querque is bound to be good thing for that town and will no doubt give it substantial upward tend ency in real estate and improve ments of all kinds.-El Paso News.

CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE
In the Surveyor Generals Office as Set
 Forth by the Yuma Sun.

Forth by the Yuma Sun.
 "Scare" headlines are, as were to be expected, now a feature of Ari- zona daily papers, in relation to the expeeted-since it is the unexpected that happens of Repub- lican grating in the territory.
 This time the surveyor generals office receives the puncture of the tack in the road; the eomical fea- ture of the case being that it was uniEtentionally placed there by an administration man.
 In brief: The agent of ex-Sen- ator Pettigrew, Harry Carpenter, wanted to get the patents on prop erty owned by his principal. The surveyor generals office returned the known formula: "Owing to great pressure of business x x unable to issue for some months, ** payment of over time, charges of clerks amounting to - hundred dollars will, as matter of accommodation etc., etc." Nat urally this looked all right and the ex-senator was appealed to for the ''boodle."
 Here the cog slipped, inasmuch as the ex-senator is built on Morgan lines, l. e., to never pay for what can be procured for nothing, hence Washington influence was brought to bear to learn why Pettigrew should "dig up' when Arizona was good fodder for the G. o. P. ele- phant.
 Washington noted first that the chief clerk was democratic ''hold- over" civil service man, so put the wheels in motion. The total results of the failure to work their think tanks" up to. date may be thus summed: Surveyor General Price held up pending investigation and resigna ton refused; M. E. Murphy, chief clerk, suspended, and Harry Carpenter losing sleep in wishing he hadn't done it.
 The redeeming feature of it all is that Major F. D. Ingalls of this city is conceded to win the soon-to- be-vacant chair of the surveyor general.
