Ranch Hand Badly Injured.

A terrible accident happened to Alejo
Astorquia, a young Basque, about II
years of age, at Jenkins ranch last Sun
day morning. The young fellow was
employed on the ranch and when the ac-
cident occurred was going after some
hay with which to feed the stock.
He had hitched two horses to a large
hay wagon and on going through one Of
the large gates leading into the field he
stood by the gate post to keep the gate
from closing and as the horses passed
through with the wagon he was IN such
a position that he could not get out OF
the way and his head was caught
between the gate post and the
hay rack and before the horses were
stopped he had received very painful
and serious injuries.
He was brought to town as o as
possible and DIR. Pope made an examina-
ton of his injuries and found that his
jaws were badly fractured Oh either side
and a horrible cash was inflicted on one
side Of his face which required a number
Of stitches to bring the wound together
Several teeth were also knocked out
DR.. Pope performed an operation on hin
soon after he was brought from the
ranch. Monday DR.. Charlie Hood came
down from Elko and assisted DIR. Pope
10 performing another operation on the
young mac. The jaw bone on either
side had to be wired together and two Oh
three pieces of bone was extracted which
was shattered from the jaw.
The boys injuries are very severe, but
the doctors think he will pull through al
right. At this writing he is resting al
easily as possible.

nurse from Elko, came down Monda,
to be in attendance to the young man

err of Galen ma, Nevada, and president of
the Boston 4 Maine Gold Mining com-
pany, being. as well, manager OF the
company's valuable property, was in
Salt Lake last week visiting old-time

then a nine-year-old boy, without a hat,

deprived him OF his head gear. Mr..
Eckman stands six feet six, and is

RAILWAYS OF INDIA.
There Are Now Nearly $1,000 Biies
of Line There.

There Are Now Nearly $1,000 Miles
of Line There.
There are now nearly 1900 miles
of railway lines In India, and before
the close of 1905 the total will pass the
10000 mark, says the Montreal Family
Herald. The Increase has been quite
rapid during the last five years, owing
to the experience of the last famine,
when it was demonstrated that facili-
ties for the rapid transportation Of
food supplies from one part of the
country to another were an absolute
necessity. 1t Is usually the case that
when the inhabitants of one province
are dying of starvation those of an
other are blessed with abundant crops,
and the most effective remedy for fam
inc is the means of distributing the
food supply where it is needed.
Before the great mutiny of 1897
there were few railroads in India, and
the lesson taught by that experience
was of incalculable value. If re-en-
rail to the beleaguered garrisons, in
stead of making the long marches. the
massacres might have been prevented
and thousands of precious lives might
have been saved.
In 1880 the railway system amount
had been doubled; in 1901 it had pass
ed the 25,0OO-mile mark. and now the
existing lines are being extended and
branches and feeders are being built
for military as well as famine emer-
gencies. All the principal districts and
cities are connected by rail. All of the
important strategical points and mill
tary environments can be reached
promptly, as necessity requires, and in
case of a rebellion troops could be
poured into any particular point from
the farthermost limits of India within
seventy or eighty hours.
India is a very big country and it re-
quires a great many miles of rails to
furnish even necessary transportation
facilities. The time between Bombay
and Calcutta is forty hours by fast
train. From Madras, the most impor-
tant city of Southern India, to Delhi.
the most important in the north, sixty
two hours of travel are required. From
Peshawur, the extreme frontier post
in the north, which commands the Ky
Der pass, leading into Afghanistan. to
Tuticorin, the southern terminus of
the system, 1t is 3,4OO miles by the reg
ular railway route. via Calcutta. and
four days and nights will be necessary
to make the journey under ordinary
circumstances. Troops could be hur-
ried through more rapidly

FARMERS OF THE SOUTH.

Improved Methods of Cultivation Are
Rewarding the Husbandman.
The truth begins to dawn upon the
minds of the agricultural writers OF
the North that the Southern farmer is
not such a thriftless fellow as he has
heretofore been represented to be,
says the Southern Farm magazine.
The tendency to an improved agrl-
culture among Southern farmers Is be.
coming very marked within recent
years. The fact Is admitted that \
greater yield of crops with less labor
is the proper direction in which to
work. Less land is being abandoned
aud more manure employed. I'm
proved agricultural implements are be-
Ing introduced everywhere. On many
farms where fifteen or twenty hands
were formerly employed the force has
been reduced to five or six, and this,
too, without reducing the profits of the
| farm.
Indeed, this change has, with prop
er fertilization, increased the profits
and bettered the condition of the soil.
| The soils which were formerly under
slave labor put in cultivation every
year are now rotated, rested, covered
and made to do duty once in two or
three years instead of every year. 1t
Is not to be disguised, however, that
all over the South are many quilted
fields that will require years OF pa
tient labor to restore to their original
producdveness, but every effort Is
pointing in the right direction. Less
land in cultivation and greater yield,
less labor and more labor-saving ma
chimes employed, less clearing forests
and more manurial applications, less
attention to large crops and more to
the profits of the farm, better stock
and better attention to them-these
are the channels into which the best
agricultural thought of the South Is
drifting, and continuance In this d.
rection will work marvels of success
0nd prosperity.
