Work Progressing Weekly on The

Work is moving along some now,
The steel is within q miles Of Bell.
flower on the west and miles on the
east. The entire grading is done with
the exception Of about one mile on the
contract Of Flick s. johnson between
Bear Creek and Truxton, but this one
mile contains large amount Of work.
However, they will cut space through
wide enough for the track and then
finish afterwards. Mike Elmore has
complicated his contract all but ''inish-
ing"
The bridges over Elkhorn and Wolf
Creek, between Bellfiower and Wells
vile, have been put In.
The ballast has been put on, fence
built, telegraph poles and mile posts
put in from Mexico to Elkhorn. AS
soon as the ballast work is completed
to Buell., steel will be laid In this
place and on to Bear Greek so they
may put In the bridge at that place.
So we will not have to wait much
longer before we hear the toot Of the
locomotive and smell the coal smoke.
And when they get here the road will
be In first-class shape between Bell
flower and Mexico.

Triumphs Of Modern Surgery,

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out and scraped and polished
and put back, or they may be removed
entirely; bones are spliced; pipes take
the place of diseased sections Of veins;
antiseptic dressings are applied to
wounds, bruises, burns and like in
juries before Inflammation sets in,
which causes them to heal without
maturation and in one-third the time
required by the old treatment.
Chamberlain's Pain Balm acts on this
same principle. 1t is an antisceptic
and when applied to such injuries,
causing them to heal very quickly. 1t
also allays the pain and soreness.
Keep bottle Of Pain Balm In your
home and II will save time and money,
not to mention the Inconvenience and
suffering which such injuries entail.

FAT DOGS IN DEMAND.
Worlds Fair Igorrotes Compelled to
Advertise in st. Louis Papers.

ST., LOUIS, June 10.-Fat dogs, good
for roasting, are in great demand in
st. Louis. The excessive demand has
raised the price.
The Bontoc Igorrote dedicated their
large theatre In the Philippine Village
last Sunday with the sprinkling Of
chicken blood, a sumptuous chicken
feast and special dances. The Bontocs
were unable to enjoy their dish Of
dog stew owing to the strike of the
dog merchants, who have raised their
prices. Gov. T. K. Hunt, refuses to
pay the advanced price and in order
to relieve the dog famine has placed
in the papers an advertisement read
ing as follows:
"Dogs Wanted-Nice fat male dogs
for feasting purposes, breed or color
lmmaterial. One dollar cash will be
paid for each on delivery to T. X.
Hunt, Igorrote Village, Philippine
Exposition Grounds"
Pending the results Of the advertise
ment the Igorrotes are on strict diet
of chicken and rice.

been properly plowed and put In prop
Ter condition for the seed, this loosen
Ing up, root-breaklng process, can vel
be dispensed with. Experiments are
quite uniformly In favor Of medium
or shallow plowing. Even in killing
weeds plow as shallow as will be eff
fectiye. In cultivation to save mois
ture land probably this should be the
object more often than any other), the
object should always be a fine, loose,
level mulch Of two or two and hall
inches. This saves moisture and In.
creases the warmth In the soil. Prob.
ably everyone has noticed that the
tracks Of the plowman, where the sur
face OF the soil is fine and In good con-
dition, will be moist. while where IT
is not thus packed the surface will be
dry. Not only does large amount OF
moisture evaporate from the COM
pressed soil, but it cools the ground to
considerable depths. Just how much
heat ii takes to evaporate a pound OF
water is probably not necessary to
state, for IT is difficult to believe; but
it is always well to prevent surface
evaporation as much as possible,
The times that crop should be cul-
tivated depend on these two princi-
pies. II clear from weeds, and the
surface is covered by light mulch,
cultivation will probably do no good,
and the energy can well afford to be
saved and applied after rain. 1t is
worth while to make a special effort
to get the surface Of the ground stirred
after a rain just as quickly as 1t will
work we'll. Nothing is gained by fire.
