of transportation from the railway to

roads and trails lie across the almost

the Little Colorado valley and around
a few springs or wells, has scant vege-

in August the weather is warm. The

cool nights, and the daytime heat is

WOMEN TICKET AGENTS BARREL
Erie Railroad VIII Install a Civil Ser
vice Plan of Promotion.

The old story that the Erie proposes
to install women ticket agents at va
rious points on the line has bobbed up
again. General Passenger Agent Wal
lace states that the story has no foun-
dation whatever, as the plan was never
dignified by consideration.
It is announced that the civil service
method of promotions will be used on
the system, and lists of men available
furnished to Mr.. Wallace by his subor-
dinates in their weekly reports These
lists will be tabulated. and promotions
and appointments will be made from
them after conferences are held with
the men at the head of each depart
ment.
A further provision is that only men

mors about women being appointed

The Hudson Observer helps along
the good fight in the following editor
ial on Senator Jackson's antitoxin
bill:
The antitoXin trust is ably repre-
scented at Trenton, and at this session.,
as at former ones, its interests seem
well protected. The twice defeated
bill, somewhat modified, providing for
the manufacture and free distribution
of the remedy by the State Board OF
Health, has again made its appear
ance and is enco%untering the same
strenuous opposition.
Former Assemblyman Henry, OF
MiddleseX, who drew up the first bill
of the kind, again championed before
a senate committee the manufacture
and free distribution by the state. He
showed that the trust now charges
$3.50 per dose for the serum, while
the State Board of Health of Massa-
chusetts, makes it for thirty cents
and distributes it without charge to
those unable to pay that small price,
Newark has made a%ntitoxin for some
time and after paying all the eX-
penses of Manufacture can afford to
sell it for ST. a dose.
But this is not pure serum de-
clared the advocates of the combina-
ton, that his, it is charged, cornered
the market, No reputable physician,
it was claimed, would employ anti
toxin that was supplied by a board OF
health. "God help the children who
use it," was the exclamation of one
opponent of the bill.
The labor organizations Of the
state have taken o than ordinary
interest in securing Il law providing
.&ntitoxin for those unable to pay the
exorbitant prices demanded for it by
the manufacturers, and strong pleas
in favor were made by their %represen-
t~atives.
1t looks as if the antitoXin combi-
nation still has it's grip. If this years
bill gets through the legislature 1t
will be a surprise.

CHICAGO SWIMMERS WON.

club. The east scored in the swim
ming races, but the Chicago Athletic
association sprang Il surprise by de-
feating the New York Athletic club
team at water polo, 4 goals to g..
When the water polo teams lined up
the betting was clearly in favor Of the
New York seXtet, which has won so
long as to be well nigh invincible. The
local men took the water at the outset
with confidence in every move, but in
exactly . minutes and ) seconds of
clever work Laughlin made Chicago's
first goal.
Exceptionally clever passing by the
western swimmers as they worked
the ball toward New York's end had
the effect of getting the local men
away from the goal, so that Kehoe had
little trouble in scoring Chicago's sec
ond goal in 3S seconds.
~Trubenbach made New York's first
goal in l minute and 6 seconds later,
but nee again the local swimmers be-
came too much scattered, and Gaid-
zlik scored Chicago's third goal in .
minutes and 30 seconds. Shortly after
that the first half ended, leaving Chica-
go with q 3 TO 1 advantage.
In the second half Trubenbach and
Spencer scored goals in rapid success
sion for New York, thereby tieing the
score mt 3 all. Neither could score for
the remainder of the period, and after
a short intermission the captains
agreed TO play an extra period till one
side or the other scored.
There was action every second Of the
extra game, Laughlin finally scoring
for Chicago after a fierce miXup in
front of New York's goal. The time
of this goal was 9 minutes 90 seconds.
