HILL STAPLES CANADA
First Wedge Towards the An nexation of the Canadian Northwest by U. s.
WAR TO THE KNIFE
 BETWEEN RIVAL ROADS.

MONTREAL, April 19--It looks like war to the knife between James J. Hill and the Canadian Pacific. Sir Thomas Shaughnessy and Sir William Van Horne have been away and the Hill attack has been so sudden that the Canadian Pacific Railroad officials are "up in the air" One leading man connected with the Canadian Pacific Railroad takes a very gloomy view of the situation. "In fact" he remarked. "T look on the invasion of Canadian territory by an American railway magnate as the first wedge towards the annexation of the Canadian Norrn- west by the United States
 Do you seriously think such a thing is possible?"
 Most undoubtedly do. You must remember that Americans are going into the Northwest now literally by thousands. They would be only too glad to support an American rail- way, and they certainly at present support American manufactures in preference to Canadian, even though they have to pay a highnr rrice for them. With their produce carried to market by American railways via American ports, and with American manufactures brought to their doors by American railways, you can easily see how the American sentiment will be fostered in the Northwest"
 Will the result of MT. Hills prof ect be inevitably to divert the grain traffic from the Northwest to Ameri- can ports?"
 ''Of course it will. Just look at this map. You will see that MT. Hills present trunk line in the United States stretches from Duluth to Seat tie. You will also see that he already has no fewer than sixteen branch lines running up from this trunk line to the Canadian border. His project is to build another trunk line in Canada parallel with his present one in the United States, and connect the two by numerous branches. In this way he will drain the whole of the richest portion of Western Canada to feed his trunk lines ill the United States"
 will he be able ;o supply as short a route to the Atlantic seaboard as that supplied by the Canadian rail- ways?"
 "Yes. His project is not 10 build trarscontinental through to Cana dian ports, but to transport the grain to Duluth, and ship it through the Great Lakes to Buffalo. Thence it is a comparatively short distance to Boston, New York, Baltimore, Phila- delphia and other American ports"
 If such a project be permitted. Eastern Canada will be divided from the wess by something more than dis tance, and it is quite possible that it will find it's western trade lost to it altogether"

NEW SANTA FEE BRIDGE.

The greater portion Of the material for the new Phoenix & Eastern bridge across the Gila river at Ripsy wash, three miles west of KeIvin, has ar rived on the ground and the bridge crew is busy installing the extra false work upon which the new bridge will rest while undergoing construction.
 The piers on either bank are of sol i'd masonry. resting upon solid bed rock. The one on the north bank was the more expensive, as it was about eighty feet to bed rock at that point, and very large air compressors had to be used to keep the water out of the caisson while the workmen were excavating to the bed rock and lay ing the pier below water level. The two piers cost about $S5,000. They are massive. and will successfully re- sist the great force of the Gila cur rent when the river is in flood.
 The main structure of the bridge will be a steel span 360 feet long, of the camelback pattern, and will car ry the heaviest freight engines with perfect safety. It is modern in every feature and heavier than the magnifi- cent steel structure which spans the Gila at Buttes. There is no finer railroad bridge of the same length in the United States than this one will be when completed. We are in formed by the bridge crew that it will be completed inside of seven months.

MOCK MARRIAGE
Pretty San Bernardino Girl De- celved by False Arizona
 Railroad Man.

PRESCOTT, April 19.-Believing herself to be the wife of James liar yey King, a brakeman, who has been running out of Winslow, Miss Nellie Weis of San Bernardino has arrived in Prescott, only to find that King was a gay deceiver, and that she is the victim of a mock marriage which was performed in this city last October with the aid of man who pretended to be a justice of the peace.
 It is sad story of a young woman's shattered love and hopes. and a mans infamous heartlessness and shameful knavery.
 A few days ago press dispatches narratated the fact that Mrs. James King No. 2. then in Los Angeles, was taking steps to have the supposed hus- band prosecuted for bigamy, as she believed him to he already possessed of another wife and three children. Later the Los Angeles authorities, before whom she laid her case, tele- graphed to Prescott to ascertain if a marriage license had been issued here last October, and receiving a negative reply. the same inquiry was made of Holbrook, from which a similar re- sponse was received. Up until that time Miss Weis believed that she had been lawfully married to King. What she supposed to have been a marriage ceremony had been performed at Pres colt. and a paper purporting to be a marriage license was exhibited at the time.
 The pretended marriage is a felony offense under the laws of Arizona, and the Los Angeles officials advised her to come to Prescott and swear out a warrant for the arrest of King, who is now said to be in hospital at Los Angeles.

Texas Woman Makes Life Study of Garden of
 PrickIy Things.

Cactus, the distinctive plant of southwest Texas, Mexico and Arizona, has been the life study of a woman who is surrounded in her home on the Rio Grande by the most weird and forbidden garden of prickly things than can be imagined.
 Mrs. Anna B. Nickels of Laredo, Texas, is the recognized authority on cactus growth and has made list of more than 1000 distinct varieties of the plant.
 Mrs. Nickels is visited every winter by scientists, tourists and curiosity seekers who are interested in her cac. tus collection. She has devoted long life to study of the growths of the mesa and mountains, and is still en- thusiastic in her work. She has gone on foot over nearly every mountain of consequence in northern Mexico, and has examined the plant growths on many of the peaks further south.
 Mrs. Nickel is not a botanisL and has not studied that subject at all, but she knows all about cactus be- cause when she came to Texas as a girl she began the collection and clas- sification of the plants until she dis covered every variety and won for herself the name Mother of the Cacti.' In her explorations in Mexico and America Mrs. Nickels has met with many strange experiences and was party to many thrilling episodes out in the open, on the mountains and plains. She has been captured by Mexican bandits and robbed by Amer ican road agents, and rattlesnakes have bitten her.

QUEEN 0F CACT||LONE[Y SUICIDE
An Aged Prospector Gives Up Claim to Go on Long
 Night Shift.

PRESCOTT. April 19.-Lying face right ear, with his face and head steeped in his life blood, congealed by two days of exposure, and with a 32 caliber Smith & Wessan revolver tightly grasped in his right hand, John Cumro, aged 62, was found cold in death by MT. and Mrs. E. A. Hurley yesterday afternoon on the floor of his cabin in a lonely place in the Weaver mountains, along Antelope creek, about ten miles from any human habi- tation.
 Hastily returning to Octave they notified the authorities at Congress by phone of their frightful and sickening find. Justice of the Peace Hall, De- putty Sheriff Czarnowski, District At torney Talbot and a number of other citizens and acQuaintances of the de- ceased. led by Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Hurley, left for the place for the pur- pose of holding an inquest and giving the remains a Christian burial. An ex- animation of the premises and sur roundings showed beyond any doubt that he came to death by his own hand, and verdict to that effect was rendered by the jury.
 In the cabin where he lay every thing appeared to be in it's usual place, nothing having been disturbed. The sum of sS8 was found in an old tin can near the head of the bed. which showed beyond doubt that no robbery had been committed.
