TO PENETRATE
RICH COUNTRY.
River Branch Of Iron
Mountain Will Reach Mining
and Agricultural Re-
sources Of Missouri
and Arkansas.

The new railroad known as the
White River Branch OF the Iron
Mountain will be opened for traffic
In about a month, and then an ex-
ceedingly rich section OF Missouri
and Arkansas will receive the advant-
ages OF transportation facilities to
promote retarded development, says
the Reoublic. The new route will ex-
tendfrom Carthage, Mo-, to Newport,
Ark.
Upon reflection, it seems strange
that so resourseful u part OF two
States should be without railroad
connections up to this time, and
particularly when the main lines Of
several systems are comparatively
near.
The mining and agricultural and
horticulture capacities OF the
White River country are, without
exsggeration, large. The whole
section is celebrated for it's pictur.
sequences and Its health giving prop
critics. There was every inducement
for the construction Of a railroad.
The road taps the lead and zinc
lands OF Arkansas. The hardwood
forest OF Arkansas and the fruit sec.
tions Of Missouri. Already consider
able progress has been made with
mining, and few mining towns
have come into existence. Along
the river are found vast quantities
OF different kinds of marble and
building and cement stone. Farm
ing, too, has been carried on success
fully.
The advancement which has been
made since the two divided lengths
OF the railroad have been in opera
ton, and since capital has acted
upon the advice OF prospectors, is an
assurance that the opening of the
through line will produce notable
development.
The town of Yellville, Ark, situated
in the mining district, is exploited
by the Iron Mountains representa-.
tives as having many OF the pros
poets which Joplin has realized. AT.
tention is also directed to Buffalo
City and other towns around which
mines are worked. Near Yellville is
the new town OF Cotter, which was
Incorporated In 1908. Cotter has a
population OF nearly 1000, and it's
railroad traffic averages $4,000 a
month.
The announcement that the
through line will soon be opened has
created high enthusiasm in the White
River country, and, in fact, through
out all Missouri and all Arkansas.
The natural resources and the beauty
OF this section OF the two States are
sufficient justification for expressing
patriotic feeling

Counties Are Not Sanitary
FIGHTS FOR PURER GAS
Will Urge Supervisors to
Pass Ordinance Limiting
Use of Carbon MOnoxide

Health Officer Ragan yesterday
completed the official rating of nine
ty-nine dairies in Alameda, Santa
Clara, San Mateo, Contra Costa and
Marin counties inspected during the
present month by Dairy Inspectors
Brady and Landrum. who filed their
reports thereon few days ago. OF
the dairies inspected thirty-nine are
rated as good, twenty-five as fair and
th1rty-eignt as poor. The names of
the dairies, together with their stand
ing as 10 sanitary conditions, water
supply and condition of cows, will be
posted in the health office so that the
public may be informed as to the ex-
act status of dairies In outside coun-
ties. Although the local health Of
ficialS have no immediate control over
the dairies in other counties, they
have the power to prevent the milk
shipped from unsanitary dairies from
being distributed among families by
local milk depots. This course will
be pursued in order to compel the
placing of all such dairies in such
condition as to comply in every re-
spect with the existing ordinance.
Ragan will shortly appear before
the Board of Supervisors to urge the
passage of his proposed ordinance
prohibiting the presence of more than
% per cent of carbon monoxide in il
Illuminating gas. On account of the in
vestigation now on for the purpose of
fixing rates to be charged for gas Ra-
gan thinks this an opportune time to
show the Supervisors that the gas
