should also be considered that with this 81, ,1o0,
900 only about two hundred miles OF highway
were built In favored counties, and these in
small stretches connecting no part or one county
with another Under the bond issue complete
systems would be built in all counties within
period of ten years, and the entire highway
mileage Of the state, both main and lateral.
brought TO state Of perfection. The proposed
bond issue simply takes advantage of the credit
of the state to obtain modern highways in the
lifetime of those now living, and to handle
great internal improvement just as a private
corporation would do If IT owned the State of
New-York and were laying out a system of
roads which would yield it the greatest amount
of profit in the smallest possible time
There are seventy thousand miles of main
and branch highways in the state, and the
money system law, which was put on the stat
ute books in 1898, provides for a contribution
of 90 cents by the state for each dollar raised
by a town for road improvement. If every one
of the towns had adopted the money system
the amount raised by their local taxation for
road improvement would be about S3.O00.000
yearly, TO which the state would add S1,500,000,
making an aggregate of S45,000,000 available
In the next ten years for the minor or lateral
roads But all the towns have not come in
under the provisions Of the money system,
which IS in reality a communication of the an
nual draft for labor on the highways by the
payment of a proportionate tax, and those
which have adopted the system will be the first
to benefit under the comprehensive plans which
the several county boards have adopted. 1t is
not believed that those who have been diatory
will lag behind much longer when the benefits
of the plan are fully understood.
From every point of view the proposed amend
ment seems desirable and advantageous. The
plans which may be carried out under its pro-
visions will insure to the Empire State that pre-
eminence in the matter of highways which it
has in other lines. and for roads as we'll as
canals the state should hold fast TO the idea
that 1.-The best are rome too good.

CURING CANCER.

Professor X. T. Hewlett, a leading British
pathologist contributes 10 Nature a paper on
cancer that deserves the attention OF his pro-
fessiOnal brethren in this country. Incidental
ly, he expresses the opinion that there has been
no material increase in the occurrence of ma
lignant tumorS in the United Kingdom. The
apparent growth in frequency, he says, may be
attributable to a disposition correctly to report
disorders that were not accurately diagnosed in
the past and that were classified as unexplained.
Obviously, if such be the case in Great Britain,
it is not unlikely that there has been similar
misinterpretatiOn of statistics in this country.
The most important feature of Professor Hew-
let's discussion. though, is his treatment OF the
germ theory Of cancer. He affirms with great
pOstiveness that it is still without adequate
foundation. One fact that has been construed
as supporting the doctrine is that cancer seems
to spread from one part Of the body to another
say, from lip TO lip-and also from one animal
of given species TO another. The phenOme.
non in question is regarded by Professor Hew-
lett mere transportation. He shows fur
thermore. how mistaken conclusions have been
drawn from certain other observations whose
accuracy cannot be challenged. MicroscOpic
bodies that are occasionally present with can
Ger will, if introduced into healthy tissue. now
and then excite morbid growths. but examina-
ton Of the latter indicates that the product of
noculatiOn is not true cancer.
The significance of this negative testimony
lies in its bearing on the possibility of cura-
tive serum. OF course. if there is no germ. if
will be hard to manufacture a remedy analogous
to the antitoxn of dphtheria. Some day it
may be practicable 10 evolve one; but Profes-
sor Hewlett evidently takes no stock in the
claims Of Continental specialists that cure has
already been found. For short time hope was
excited by the fact that inoculating one diseased
mouse with blood from another which had been
spontaneously cured seemed to produce a bene-
fetal effect. However. the mouse cancer and
human cancer, according to Professor Hewlett
are two different things and a mouse serum
would not. in his judgment help man or woman
Only the blood of a spontaneously cured human
being would meet the requirements For the
present, then, the knife is almost the only re-
source and the sooner it is used the better "a
the prospect of recovery.

DRAWING 1T Much too y1rD,

Those chaps up in Great harrington who
want the selectmen to reserve one or two roads
for the owners of automobiles are altogether
too modest in their demands Why don't they
come out and ask for all that they are reason
ably entitled TO. and all that an enlightened
public sentiment would concede? Would IL not
be far better TO demand the exclusive use Of all
highways? Again. instead OF merely barring
horses from these roads. would 1t not be much
wiser to make the ownership of horses a Grim.
inal offence? What rights have either those
animals or persons who are foolish enough To
possess them which any civilized government
ought 10 respect? If horses are to be tolerated
at all, why not compel the people TO whom they
belong TO purchase special parks or racecourses
for their exercise? Consider for an instant the
pecuniary resources Of the two classes who are
chiefly interested In this matter. Are not the
old fogies who continue to evince a regard for
effete ideas and customs far better able to nav
for private reservation than those exemplars
OF true progress who have just asked for nm
official recognition of rights they already pos.

Some day the section of country north of Cerbat Wash and reaching as far north as Qnail Springs, will become the greatest producer of copper ore in the county There are few. veins in that region that does not carry copper to some extent. Some of the veins are very large, carrying bodies of low grade copper, but there are other veins that carry ores rich in gold and silver, as we'll as copper. The Cerbat mine, at Cerbat, is one of the notable instances of the veins carrying big values in all the metals. In the early days it was worked exclusively as gold mine, but it is now considered among the possi. ble coppe. mines of the county. It still ret ins it's gold values and in the lower workings carries considerable copper s0lphides.

The Blus Ridge mountains are at tracting large namber of prospectors aud before spring fully opens there will be hundreds of men in there searching for gold. There is no doubt tha: the region embraced in this chain of mountains is the richest gold section of the territory and mining men from all over the United States are making an effort to get property in that coun- try. The ores are ideal for milling and handling by the cyanide process and the big mills now running are saving values to high percentage. Soon there will be power plants supplying the wants of the mine and mill owner with necess sary power and solving the costly fuel problem. The veins of that section are large and we'll defined and while the values in general are not high, yet they average far above the ores from mines hat are now paying big dividends in other parts of the United States. Heretofore capital was lacking in the exploitation of the mines of the river section, but now money is coming that way and it will soon be plentiful enough to take in the good things the miner and pros pector has to offer.

Wreck on Santa Fe.

Last Saturday evening at about five
 o'clock bad wreck occurred at the sharp curve, one half mile weet of town, by the work train colliding with light engine. The work train, con. sisting of eleven flat cars and Ill Mexi. cans and nun Der of Americans, was coming up the canyon at a slow rate of speed when it came in collision with one of the big decapod engines. The men saw the engine in time for nearly all to get away safely. but many were caught and one man. Clementa Ramos, was instantly killed by being crushed between two cars. Another man, Giavino Salez, was so badly in. jured that he died within few hours after the accident. 4 score or more of men were injured in jumping and be ing thrown from the wrecked cars, sev. eral of whom are seriously injured. Seven cars were totally wrecked and the first car on the work train was broken into tooth picks. As soon as possible the injured were cared for and the dead taken to the morgue. The wreck delayed traffic for twelve hours. An inquest was held on the bodies of the two dead m en and the jury found that the conductor of the work train was responsible for the accident, by his failure to properly protect his train with flag. Un the finding of the jury rrant was issued by the coroner and F. B. Scougsle, conductor of the work train, was taken into GUS tody at Needles last Monday evening. At the preliminary examination held in Kingman last Thursday Conductor Scougale was acquitted of responsibil ity for the wreck.
