There is a great amount of talk con-
cerniug the extension of the Englewood
branch of the Santa Fe out through
Beaver county, Okla, to a connection
with the California line from La Junta,
Colo to Albuquerque. N. NJ. 1t is
more than probable that the road will
be built this year as other roads have
threatened to enter that territory soon.
In fact the Frisco has announced that
it would extend its line west from Award
to Beaver county. Il is fact that the
surveying corps of the Santa Fe is now
at Englewood making the preliminary
survey from Englewood to Beaver City.
If this road is extended it will mean a
great deal to the people all along the
Englewood branch.

Nowhere are Life and Property So
Safe Ira Labrador.
A traveller who recently visited the
const of Labrador says thnt nowhere
on earth are life and property held so
sacred rs in that little known and bar
rem land. A thousand miles of lonely
saaboard. along which Is scattered a
population of some 10000 people, about
one-third Of whom are white, would
seem to give every opportunity for
crime. yet there is no police officer Of
any kind, no court and no Jail Nor
are they needed. The only criminal
charge within fifty years was one
against an Eskimo, who shot n rival In
love.
In addition to the resident popula-
ton the coast is visited every summer
by about 10000 Newfoundland fisher
men. and, while Newfoundland itself is
not by any means free from criminals,
none appear to come among the fishers
or else the example of the natives of
Labrador causes them to refrain from
any wrongdoing while there. Years
ago a circuit court visited the coast
every summer, but as 1t found nothing
to do 1t was abolished. Now should
any serious charge be made against n
man magistrate would be sent from
Newfoundland to investigate it.-Har-
