road of Giradot. which, in the near
future, will reach the Savannah on
which Bogota is located. and provide
direct communication with the capital.
In commenting on this complex sys-
tenn it is well to note that until 1t was
proposed by President Reyes. these diff
ferent railroads were each pursuing
its own course without reference to
forming an actual network that would
prove of benefit to all. They will not
only place the mountain capital of Bo-
gotta in quick communication with dis
tant and diverse parts of the repub-
lie, but they will provide for each sec
tion an excellent means of reaching its
best markets. The change in the route
of the Cauca road. while it will make
a little longer the time between Bogota
ana Buenaventura, on the Pacific. will
develop instead one of the richest parts
of the country and give the great in
terror department of Antioquia access
to the Pacific as well as to the Atlantic,
which 1t will have by the Antioquia
Railroad and the Magdalena River. A
newspaper of Bogota says OF these
plans:
The cost will not exceed $40, ,o00, 900
gold, and the interest which the repub-
lie will have to pay on this capital un
til they are completed will be alone
about s1,S00,000 gold per annum, which,
in view of the development Of public
resources and commerce aided by this
same foreign capital and by these rail-
roads, it will be able to pay without
difficulty. This system will place IN
communication the most important CEN
ters of the country and will pass
through the richest sections, and, above
all, will facilitate the exploitation of
these sections with adequate ma
chinery, and aid In the development Of
the rich mines of gold and silver in
the province of Maramato and in the
center of Antioquia, which can un-
doubtedly be described as another

SWEET SIMPLICITY.

In the old days there was professor
of psychology at Dartmouth who was
so abstruse that it is doubtful it at
times he fully understood himself.
One day he was profounder than usu-
al. He lectured for nearly an hour on
topics away over in the back of the
book
The class was dazed wa, far
above their heads, and they did not
understand even the edges of =.
When he had finished the old man
took out his watch and said genially:

Canada Likes Goods

THE fact that Canada buys much

more from the United States than
from England is a never-ending
source of complaint on the part
of British exporters. The Canadi-
an tariff gives a preference of 33 1-3
per cent to British products. but that
does not stop the increased purchases
from the United States.
correspondent of the Glasgow Her
aid. writing from Ottawa, says that
the tariff preference arrested the de-
cline of British trade with the Domin-

much with the growth of the United
States trade. This correspondent gives
the imports of iron and steel articles
into Canada for the fiscal year 1905
from Great Britain and the United

as to trade with Canada on the part of
those two countries. The figures are

expected testimony of the chief witness for the plaintiff, MT. Morrison. Sever al days ago, Morrison, the engineer on the night shift at the government pow CT plant, accused Jones of the mach inc shop of some trival thing that had occurred during the execution of their work. Whereupon Jones called Nor rison liar, so the story goes, and Morrison immediately wanted to fight. Jones, not wishing any trouble, told him to keep away or there would be trouble. Morrison was very insiStent, and following Jones into the next room told him that he must fight and ad- vanced towards him with his hand in his trousers pocket. Jones fearing that he had gun and it was about to be used on him, made a lunge at Nor rison with a hammer and before the latter could dodge the blow received it's full force in his face. Stunned for a moment, Morrison turned away but turned again on Jones who again struck him another terrible blow al- most in the same place as before. Be- ing rather an elderly man, this was more than Morrison could stand and in a second he was down and out.
 At the trial Dr. Palmer, who was the first witness called, testified that he had attended the plaintiff and that upon his first examination of Morri- son, shortly after the fight took place, he had found him in a rather critical condition. His cheek bone was frac- tured and there were a few bruises further up the side of his head. At the time of the trial, however he was in a much better condition and unless complications set in, which was thought improbable by the doctor, he would soon be around all right
 Several other witnesses were called, among whom were A. c. Demerick, Ben Fakes and O. L. Mcintyre.
 Fakes testified to having heard words between Jones and Morrison and to having heard the former say that "he did not want to have any trouble" and flor him to keep away" He also testified to having seen Jones strike Morrison, and that he and Mcintyre had carried Morrison out of the ma chine shop and that they had washed the blood from his face immediately after the fight.
 When called to testify in his own behalf Morrison refused to say any thing that would in any way incrimi nate Jones. He admitted that he had provoked Jones to a fight, and that he was wholly to blame.
 After his short time in the witness chair. which in this case happened to be an old trunk, he asked to be excus cd that he might go home. Justice Evans granted this request and called Jones to the stand immediately. Jones swore to practically everything as it has been stated here and at the end of a short cross examination by the justice he was discharged, there being insufficient evidence to convict him.
 Jones was back at work the next day and Morrison is reported as rest ing very easily after his most exciting experience.

 IN GREAT NUMBERS
A Team Which Fir. Holiday Cant
 Get Off His Hands.

There is number of persons in this city and elsewhere who are very much interested in learning what the out come of raffle of a fine team of black driving horses was. young man by the name of M. P. Holladay of Mesa conducted the affair, and there were several drawings to decide Wno held the winning number, but each drawing brought forth a confusion as to the owner of the lucky ticket and the raffle was several times postponed.
 The numbers run from 1 to 450, and if all had been sold the sale would have netted the owner $1,014.75. The sale of the tickets was carried on dur ing fair week and many persons from outside towns took chances. The tick cts cost the purchasers just what the number drawn amounted to. All of the tickets with the exception of fifty were disposed of by the evening of the day the drawing was to take place, and in order to close the tickets out the chances remaining unsold were dispos- ed of at S1 a piece. The drawing was then had and number 331 was drawn.
 No one in the crowd attending the drawing held the lucky ticket. and Mir. Holiday took the team to Mesa City. The next day, according to a letter he wrote to friends in Phoenix, he found that ticket in the bottom of the buggy and presumed through an over sight it had not been sold. Accordingly he announced a second drawing to take place at Mesa on the morning of January G.. This took place and so far no one holding the winning num- Der at that drawing has been found.
 This drawing having been held sev- eral days ago and as yet no word of it's result having been brought to the city by MT. Holladay, many of those hold ing tickets have become curious to know when this thing is going to come to an end. The team is still in the possession of Mr. Holladay.
 The publication of this affair and the mailing of it is not a violation of any postal regulation. It is neither the advertisement of raffle nor is it the announcement of a result of one. So far there has been no result.
