It is said that Santa Fe engineers have made a survey through Crozier canyon, north of the line of road, re gently washed out, and that it will be built at once. The road from Truxton to Crozier runs through box canyon and it will be found impossible to keep the track from being washed out by torrential summer floods. In the Crozier canyon it will be possible to keep out of the wash by building along the lower rim of the canyon. The new work will probably require several months to complete.

About one hundred Japanese passed through Kingman few days ago on their way to Mexico, where they will be used on plantations. They will realize about thirty cents per day, a lower figure than peons can be hired for. They are the poorest laborers in the world and it will be but short time until their services are dispensed with. It seems queer that the railroads of this country go to Mexico for cheap la bor and Mexico goes to Japan for still cheaper workmen.

The heavy rains of Thursday last above Truxton carried out all the cribbing in the washed out section, leaving the road in the same condition it was last Saturday morning. At least t 800 men are at work repairing the break and it is thought trains will be run through today, unless another heavy rain occurs. The damage 10 the road in Trnxton Canyon will amount to more than 100,OO0S.

Pure Food Legislation.

The Legislature can do no bett o
work than perfect the legislation pro. I
viding for pure foods. The present
laws. according to DR.. Warren, Com :
missioner, are defective in various par
ticulars. 1t is impossible to prevent
food adulterations under them, he
adds. II that be true new laws should
be enacted or else th old ones improv-
e1. It seems almost incredible that
avarice could run to tie limit of in
f1uenciDg men to sell poisoned foods
But experience shows that to be the
case and therefore the most stringent
lave should be enacted.
During the Spanish War General
Miles got himself disliked at Washing
ton because he protested against sup
plying the troops in the field with
beef preserved by the use of poisonous
fluids. At present. according to Foot
Commissioner Warren, meats, milk aud
other foods are preserved by similar
AhCihOdo nuu bOlL, III lblS Cedlc, W tiI6
public. especially the poor who with
out means to procure antihotes are
murdered or made invalids for all
time.
1t should be the aim of legislators to
avoid peStiferou4 legislation and it
may be difficult to achieve the desired
result in the matter in mind, without
making Objectionable laws. In other
words legislation regulating the sale
of food is necessarily more or less sump-
tuary. Therefore the greatest care
should be taken in the construction of
pure food laws so that the best results
may be obtained at the least expense
in evil. We believe, however, that
DR.. Warren is sincere in his purpose
and intelligent IN his work and that
such laws as he recommends will de-
serve support.

MRS. PARKER
WILL RECOVER

Mrs. William Parker, of Jackson

laudanum Tuesday morning in des-
perate attempt to take her life.

life was saved During every moment
from the time the dose was taken un-
til last night the fight for life was
kept up. She regained consciousness
at $3.50 O'Clock Tuesday afternoon,
The battle, however. was only partial
ly won, ss the drug in such cases opens
the way for complications Of fatal
nature and the woman was at any mo-
ment likely to relapse in to a stupor
or to suddenly expire. The only hope
lay in keeping her upon her feet and
obliging her to move about. During
the afternoon, therefore, during the
whole night and up to last even
ing the poor woman has been OBJ
liged 30 pay the penalty Of her rash
ness by remaining upon her feet with
some one by her side constantly urging
her onward and not permitting her for
q moment TO yield to fatigue.
Mrs Parker now seems anxious enough
30 live; at least she offered no resist
Auce TO the strenuous efforts that were
made 10 save her life.

Sprinkle Ashes or Sawdust.

The rain during Monday night and
the warm weather Tuesday turned the
snow into sluIh, but from many side
walks it did not clear the ice and on
some streets yesterday the walking
was desperately dangerous.
The promised cold wave arrived yes
terdsy and the situation will be much
worse now. 1t will be impossible to
travel some sections of sidewalks with
out imminent danger of falls that may
result in broken arms or legs or worse
injuries.
Much of this dangerous condition
could have been avoided if every one
had cleaned off the snow as soon as
the storm ceased. After the snow is
tramped down and turned TO ice it is
too late.
II every one will sprinkle ashes or
sswdust on the icy pavement in front
Of his house or place of business this
morning, some of the danger can still
be removed.
This is such an obvious duty that it
would seem that no one would need to
be reminded of it.

A PLAN TO

Dozens of small boys may be seen

Mr.. McOauley wants 10000 dead

Cauley is a warden in the employ of
the State Game Commission, and the

BACH of the little feathered nuisances

the animals which prey upo2 game
birds. State Game Commissioner Kaih
fus say that the vermin which roam
the fields of the State must be killed
off; poisoning the foxes is one of the
radical means adopted.
A year ago similar measures were
taken to reduce the number of foxes,
but not on so large a scale. With the
snow covered gro1nd the foxes are
hard pressed for food. They have re-
gular runways, aud it is along these
paths that the sparIows will be placed.
There will be no danger of any ami.

Pennsylvania which will touch dead

famished, and valuable dogs are not
allowed by their owner to roam about
the countryside.
With his voIacious appetite a fox
can do more harm in killing game
birds and domestic animals during a
year than any hunters who ever walk
ed the fields, and he is far more skill.

The State Game Commission has
just concluded a conference which was
held for the purpose OF amending the
present game laws, and new bill is
being prepared for introduction at the
coming session. 1t will modify all Of
the existing laws and contain several
important amendments.

TO LIMIT SALE
OF FIRE ARMS

A bill which is designed to limit
the sales Of revolvers, to the end that
murders aud suicides may be lessened,
will be introduced at the next session
Of the Legislature. The bill provides
for license to sell pistols or firearms
and the registering of all persons who
buy them. together with a statement
showing that the purchase is lawful.
In cases where the purchaser is not
personally known to the license he
must be vouohed for by two reputable
citizens. This register is at all times
to be open to the inspection of the au-
horities. Any person or firm gocnvict-
ed of selling or Offering for sale pistols
or any kind Of firearms of shorter
tenth than twenty-four inches shall
be sentenced to pay a fine of not less
than 300 nor more than $500 or to i'm
prisonment for not less than one month
nor more than six months or botlI.
The number of murders and hom;cides
resulting directly from the promiscu-
Gus sale Of firearms is appalling. Many
OF the murders in recent years have
been discovered to have resulted from
the ease and cheapness with which
pistols can be purchased by any one.
Revolvers bought for as low rs quart
er Of dollar. There are a number of
Instances where crszed individuals
have bought pistols for fifty cents and
less and then gone out and killed peo-
pie against whom they had imaginary
grievances. Others Of the same class
have com mitted suicide.

STRANGE MURDER
PARTLY SOLVED

The Hickory Ridge murder mystery
has without doubt been solved in so
far as the identity OF the murdered
man is concerned. Thursday evening
Detective Reuben Schwartz returned
90 his home at Shamokin from Natalie
and stated that the murdered man was
Antonio Cerrelli. To prove that he is
correct Schwartz produced photo
graph OF Cerrelli which tailed exact
ly with the murdered mans head
which was found hidden under q pile
of stones near Marion Heights.
According to the story as told by
Schwartz, Cerrelli left his home In
Italy TO come to this country TO attend
his sisters wedding, who resides at
Natalie. He arrived at Natalie on
October II. On October 81, his sister
WAS married to Emisls Pspula aud fol-
lowing the wedding ceremony there
was a2 after celebration at the home
of the new.y married couple which
continued for several weeks. Accord.
ing to the story az believed Dy Sch
wartz, some time before the body of
the man was found, which was on
November 1S, a big celebration was
held at the Papula home to which a
number of Italians residing in the vic
Unity were invited. Whiskey and beer
flowed like water and in the early
morning when the guests left for their
homes Cerrelli accompanied them
down the road toward Hickory Ridge
aud Marion Heights and was then shot
and cruelty murdered, the guests from
Marion Heights taking the head while
the guests from Hickory Ridge carried
away and concealed the body. This
accounts for the finding of the hea d
near Marion Heights and the body
near Hickory Ridge.
1t Is reported that the parents OF Ger
relli, who reside in Italy, are wealthy
and that he was to receive the greater
part of their wealth at their death
Detective Schwartz has been unabl,
to secure enough evidence to warrant
any arrests in the case. 1t is a we'll

had suddenly disappeared and learn
