Snow 10 Scarce.

+. r. Chew, engineer Of irriga.
ton district No. 2. returned from
a trip of inspection along the ST
Charles river. He reports that
there has been but slight fall Of
snow in that section of the country
and at present there is little water.
He thinks that the outlook is as
favorable as in other years and
that II IS entirely TOO soon to feel
alarmed at what some consider the
poor outlook.
MIR. Chew says that as a general
rule the mountains are bare Of
snow until much later in the sea
son and that the heaviest SHOWS
are to come. He expects that
there will be plenty OF snow in the
late winter and early spring to
supply all the wants OF the farm
ers during the summeT-Pueblo

Of in,s,es. to nsehi.i.,s.

A move which is OF much inter.
est to the local. as we'll as to all,
mschinists, was before conven-
tion recently held in Topeka. II
is to obtain from the railroad com
pany contracts for the men in the
shops all over the system Al
present they are working without
contract, giving as they feel, all
the advantage to the railroad.
They desire the same privileges
gfanted to engineers, hremen and
other employees. The contract
they ask is year contract, cover
ing the matter of wages, extra
time and duties TO be demanded. .

Cut on 10 . Sure Go.

La unta is not the only town
on the Santa Fe pike that is worry

just as much il not more than il
would La unta. In Albuquerque
the other day prominent railroad
man delivered himself of the fol.
lowing:
Eyes, the cut off is sure 60;
there is no doubt Of it, but as the
cut -od progresses it seems to me
that the absurdity of the theory
that Albuquerque is to be put on =
sidetrack becomes evident. In this
connection it is significant that the

extensive improvements all along
the line in New Mexico. Ration

Lookout for Tyeheis Fever.

The typhoid fever epidemic at
Leadville has been traced to the
Arkansas river, il is said, and IS
believed TO have been due to sew
age. As a result towns and cities
IN the Arkansas valley winch rely
upon the river as a source OF water
supply for domestic purposes have
been warned, and advised to take
precautions Immediately to prevent
the development ofadditional local
epidemics.

the necessity of being on the alert
for any cases that may occur in
your town. it being situated on the
Arkansas river below Lesdville.
1t may be that the full force Of the

something sort of pitiful in the scared
faces that they turned up at me. A
little way off from the boat the old
squarehead was swimming for all he
was worth, his shoulders bumped up
! like box turtle. He was poor SWIM
mer, and his strokes were getting
! shorter and quicker and his breath
came like a grampus when he breaks.
Grade the side if you want" /
yelled: TN not harm We; but as you
love your life, don't try to climb up!"
| doubted that he'd ever reach the
boat, but he made it and chung there,
cycling me like q bear in q trap. Then
we waited in silence.
Soon the edege of the breeze struck
me, and behind it came the schooner,
tripping along like a girl going to
market. Straight down they came,
and soon I knew that we were sighted
/ from her decks, for she shifted her
course a bit and bore down directly
at us.
| When close aboard she luffed into
the wind and in minuate over went
a surf-boat and came bouncing along
! the rising sea. Then, as she drew near,
I knew that I was safe, for in the stern
sat O'Connell, whom I had met in
! Manila not long before we started for
the islands.
An hour later, in the cabin of the
schooner, I told the whole story over
q stiff glass of grog. Although Cap
tain McCree was Il good sort enough,
I could not persuade him to go back
for Boles and the others, as the wealth
err had changed the glass was falling,
and it was at the breaking up of the
monsoon. SO did not press it, know
ing that my mates were well found in
grub and that l could soon get them
taken off.
The schooner was bound for PulC
| Anna, and when we reached there
left her and not long after sailed by
another vessel for zap. On the way
we touched at the island, but the
others had gone.

Sealskin is admired the world over for

by a pestiferous parasite that saps the

(Communicated.) Alabama Leads.

From Editorial in Montgomery Adver-
 tser.
 The Advertiser a few days ago alluded to the vast amount of money invested Tn new industries along the line of the Lou isville and Nashville Railroad in the State of Alabama, as compared with such industries in all other States through which the Louisville and Nashville Sys- tem runs. The editorial Tn question al- Iuded to the annual report of the Gen ment of the Louisville and Nashville Sys- tenn for the year 1908.
 The Traffic Department of the Louls- vile and Nashville Railroad has within the past few days compiled supple fhentary statement from the General Im- migration Department, showing indus tAiSS AONdtSut ana IanllIleS and persons settled, along the line of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad for the period. January l, 1904 to March 10. 1904. The re- suit shows that during that period there were eighty-two industries established along the system, with capital stock of $2, ,4S4,5oO. Of these. forty-four were es- tablished in Alabama with capital stock of $2O6l,loO considerably over half fin number and nearly two-thirds in point of capital stock being in Alabama. Ala bGina leads in cotton and wooIen indus- tries, woodworking plants. fertilizer fac tories, car works, lime works, cotton seed products, marble and other quar- rles and miscellaneous plants. There were settled on the system PA families. CT 9o2 persons, of which lH families. or 62l persons. settled in Alabama.
 This is only cumulative evidence that Alabama leads, and does not follow Georgia or any other State in the race for commercial supremaey.-1t

Progress-Don't Tear Down.

Demopolis Express.
 Mir. B. B. Conner, who is flooding the State with circulars in advocacy of his candidacy for President of the Railroad Commission, will be either a very danger ous man (as Mir. vandiver of Montgom- cry characterizes him) in that position or a veritablo demsgogue.
 He Is either making promises to oppress the railroads for the purpose of catching the votes of the uninformed or he will hurt the State and every interest in 1t if he should be elected. He Is too extreme, too radical to make a good offlcer for the people. We need the railroads to better enable us to develop the great resources of our State. We can not lind where their property in this State has paid any fair dividends. and we do want them to prosper. We do want better tracks, bet ter service. We do want the probability of disastrous accidents reduced tp mini mum, but we can not have all these things if they are forced to put down their rates to a point where there Is no returns for betterment. interest On bonds and current expenses. ,
 How can we induce capital to come into our State and build railroads for us if we have a commission that will not allow them to make living, so to speak?-1t

The mysterious ether that is supposed to fill all space is the subject of a new theory by Mendeleef, the Russian chemist He would regard 1t as a def- nite chemical substance so light that its molecular velocity overcomes gravitatlon, a substance without chemical affinity, and with a power of diffusion so great that 1t can penetrate all bodies. He finds that there is. probably a lighter element than sydrogen with an atomic weight of about O.4 that may be the coronium of the suns atmosphere and volcanic gases. The ether must have a still smaller atomic weight, certainly not over 0.17, and probably about one millionth that of hydrogen. as the mole cule must have a velocity of at least 400 miles a second to escape the gravitatio. of the largest bodies of the universe. This hypothetical element. almost without weight, is named Newtonium.
