Brakeman T. J. WomsEey Killed.

The crushed body of Brakeman T. J. Womsley. was brought to Yuma from Mohawk Summit last Friday morning, death having resulted from an accident at the foot of the Mohawk hill. The evidence before the Coroners jury went to show that, as is customary, the train was divided, and WomSley, the rear brakeman, was in the act of ap- plying the air brakes to prevent the lower half of the train from running away, when the forward section backed down pinning the brakeman between the two sectiQns, and crushing out his life. An inquest was held before Act ing Coroner Donald Mcintyre on Sa- turday. The verdict of the jury was that Womsley's death was purely ac- cidental and no one held responsible.
 T. J. Womsley came here about five weeks ago from New Mexico, where he had been railroading, and had only been running on extras for about three weeks.
 The remains were embalmed by the Sanguinetti undertaking department and shipped to Los Angeles, where Womsley's father is in the drug busi- ness on Pico street.

Lengt!ieEing fiunan Life.

It is established beyond doubt that uring the last half Of the nineteenth century there was an important length ening of the average life, due largely to the Improvement in living and the adyapeement in medicine. It was dur ;ng that time that Hc3tetter's Stomach Bitte*s made it's first appearance and 3ecatise of it's wonderful curatiTe pfop- critics so5n became the recognized leader among remedies to cure poor appetite, sour stomach, cramps, diarr- hoea, indigestion, dyspepsia, constipa< ton, biliousness, kidney ills or malaria, fever and ague. Doctors eld. dr0g- giats everywhere recommend it i'll the above cases. We hope you'n try a bottle and test it for yourself.

 The railroad Company began last Monday to build the spur, which runs on the southeast side of the passenger depot, nearer the river for c0uve- nience in transferring heavy machinery and supplies for the dam work on to the stcamboats. One of the things to be deplored in this shifting of the track is that the little three cornered spct Of blocm and verdure near the depot, is to be sacrificed.

Council rteeLtng

At called meeting of the town Council last night the railrOad com pany, locked horns with representa- tives of the Mexican-Colorado Nayi- gation Company on the question Of privileges on the river front. The latter company was granted franchise by the city two CT three years ago for 8 wharfage and landing at the foot of Main street for term of fifteen years. This company has erected a ware house near the landing. and the rail road company now wants this building removed. as it stands in the direct line Of the spur extension along the river front. The navigation company, asks for space on the Southern Pacific grounds for the ware house, but this is not likely to be granted, as the rail road company wants the ware house moved to the southeast side Of the track.
 The Council heard arguments from representatives of both companies, but took DO definite action beyond appoint ing Councililen Stahl and Munson &s 6 committee to investigate and report at specisl meeting called for tonight.
 The application of R. H. Lee for 8 saloon license was granted. the appli- cant to use the unexpired license of Ramirez, and will cCnduct a saloon in the new building at the corner of Second and Main streets.
 A profile of the survey of Second avenue was presented by Surveyor Elliott and was adopted. A motion prevailed authorizing the advertising for bids for grading this thoroughfare> First avenue was ordered surveyed from the town limits north to Second street.
 Franchise Ordinance Repealed.
 Wednesday nights meeting brought forth little history on the franchise proposition which changed the aspect of things materially. The investigat- ing committee, with the help of Clerk Redondo, fshed out from the musty labyrinths of the city archives vintage of 1904 , Ordinance No. 19, which re- peals the Ordinance No. 7 granting to the MexicanColorado Navigation Com pany ''the right to construct end main tain a wharf and landing for boats at the foot of Main strectl" The ordi- nance granting the franchise was pass ed May 2lst, 1902; the ordinance re- pealing the same was passed in March, 1904. The council appointed a com mittee to try to help adjust matters fairly between the conflicting interests. The committee will present it's report at tomorrow nights meeting!

PINEAPPLES
Visitor from Cuba Says Florida
Has Nothing to Fear.
OUR FRUIT IS SUPERIOR
Neither the Cuban Orange or Pineapple
the Equal of Florida Production.
Some Draw backs.

Two prominent visitors in the city
last Sunday were Mr.. VIM. Allan and
Mr., Holmes, of New York City, who
were enroute home from business trip
to Cuba, where they went for the ex-
press purpose of investigating tne
orange and pineapple conditions on the
land, says the Tropical Sun, of West
Palm Beach.
Mr.. Allan has for many years been a
prominent orange grower in Florida.
and at present, owns two fine groves in
Volusia county, one at Port Orange and
one at Holly Hill. The two gentlemen
are also extensively interested in orange
growing in Porto Rico, owning about
500 acres of valuable grove property
three miles from San Juan, which pro-
perty they anticipate visiting next
month.
While in the city Messrs. Allan and
Holmes called upon Captain G. {. Mat
thams, president of the Indian River
and Lake Worth Pineapple Growers
Association, and were shown through
his extensive pineries south of the city.
Mr.. Allan stated to Captain Matthams
that the Florida pineapple grower, as
well as the orange grower, had every
reason to feel encouraged over the out
look, as compared with Cuban products
If a similar nature. He stated that,
like the Cuban orange, the pineapple of
that country is inferior in quality to
the Florida product. Especially, dis
couraging, in comparison to Florida
conditions, is the pineapple outlook on
the island. The fields seem to deterlor-
ate after the third year to remarkable
degree, and by the fifth year the pines
become too small to command a respect
allie price when displayed ON the mar
kets. Mr.. Allan further stated that
several Of the large growers would soon
abandon their fields and the culture of
pincapples. lie thinks that the Florida
grower, in view of the fact that he has
uuick transportation, a better quality
of fruit and no duty to pay, has 1t all
coming his way.
MIR. Allan, agreeing with many of
IN, most successful growers, thinks
that the freight tariff ON pines has lit
tlr to do with the future of the industry
h,li,yng that 10 to - cents crate
viii amount to little either way with
the larger growers, while the producers
If four to five hundred crates, who are
termed as the smaller producers, it
amounts to practically nothing.
Altogether the report MIA Han b lgS
to the Florida grower, when it is taken
i,to consideration that he is among the
best experienced producers Interested
IN southcrn fruits, must he taken ~
encouraging news and should have the
effect of stimulating greater activity
in pineapple and citrus fruit culture
along the East Coast.
