OPEN PUBLICITY THE BEST
GUARANTY OF MERIT.

When the maker OF a medicine, sold
through druggists for family use, takes
frankly and fearlessly publishing broad
cast as well as on its bottle wrappers,
a full list of all its ingredients IN pldtrt
En0Jtsh, this action on his part Is the
best possible evidence that he is not
afraid to have the search light of inves-
tigatiOn turned full upon his formula
and that it will bear the fullest scrutiny
and the most thorough investigation.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription for the
cure of the weaknesses, periodical pains
and functional arrangements of the or
gans distinctly feminine, is the only medi-
cine put up for sale through druggists for
woman's special use, the maker of which
is not AFRAID to take his patients into
his full confidence by such open and
honest publicity,
A glance at the published ingredients
on each bottle wrapper, will show that it
is made wholly from native, American,
medicinal roots, that it contains no poi
sonous or habit-forming drugs, no mar
cotics and no alcohol-pure, .triple-refned
glycorine, OF proper strength being used
instead OF the commonly employed alco-
hol, both for extracting and preserving
the active medicinal properties found in
the roots Of the American forest plants
employed. 1t is the only medicine for
women's peculiar diseases, sold by drug
BlcISs Ondb uOeS nOb contain large per-
centage OF alcohol, which is In the long
run so harmful to woman's delicate, nerv-
GUS system. Now, glycerine is perfectly
harmless, and serves q valuable purpose
by possessing intrinsic value all Its own,
and besides it enhances the curative
effect OF the other ingredients entering
into the uFayorite Prescription"
Some OF the ablest medical writer's and
teachers endorse these views and praise
all the several ingredients OF which "Fa-
vorite Prescription" is composed - rec
ommending them for the cure Of the
very same diseases for which this world
famed medicine is advised. No other

BAKERS WELL is TERMINAL
Tonopa'r Branch Now Within Seventy
four Miles of Rhyolite

Next Wednesday, July 4, the change
of terminal of the Las Vegas & Tono-
pah branch of the Salt Lake system
will become effective and the 100 miles
of costly railroad work will have been
ended.
The trip to Beatty will hereafter be
robbed of it's terrors. BY the opening
of the new terminal team haul across
twelve miles of d sandy desert trail
will be avoided as hereafter stage con-
nection for Beatty will be made at
Bakers well. instead of Johnny siding,
until another new terminal is opened.
]. Ross Clark, vice president of the
Salt Lake road, who returned from a
trip over a part of the line, said that
the new terminal will positively be
opened Wednesday to Bakers well,
twenty-five miles beyond the present
terminal at Johnny siding. From
Bakers well to Beatty mining city is
cnly nineteen miles. and the distance
to Rhyolte is twenty-four miles from
the terminal.
Work on the Bullfrog line is delayed
on account of a lack of ties, but will
be rushed when the material arrives.
The chief engineer of the Salt Lake
route made a reconnoisance between
Rhyolite and Goldfield recently and will
put on a locating party to determine
definite line between the two points.

which there was land under cultiva-
tion, while the flooded land for time
threa tened serious damage to Calexico
and Mexicah, the twin towns Of the
international line.
Three or four days since the river cut
a channel across the line. passing
.Calexico at sufficient distance to relieve
II from the pressure of water, but cut
ting into the Mexican town to such an
extent that the Southern Pacific depot
was undermined and fell into the
stream. Three or four small adobe
houses on the outskirts of the town
have also gone, into the river, but as
yet the business portion of the town
remains intact.
Whether the town will escape further
damage cannot be told, though there
is fear that large portion of the place
will yet be taken away.
There is a bare possibility that Calex-
leo may be damaged, though this is
believed improbable.
MexicaH is town of about 500 in
habltants, of neat appearance, but of no
large investment in buildings. The
Southern Pacific railroad is the heavi-
est sufferer.
Aside from the damage to these
towns, the water situation has seemed
to improve from the standpoint of this
valley.
The flood season is believed to be
drawing to close, and the Southern
Pacific company is accumulating
great force of teams and men on the
lower Colorado, with view to turning
the river back to it's old channel when
the water falls to the twenty-foot level.
which should be by July 20 at least.
Two large headings have been COM
pleted for this work and engineers in
charge state that the chances are 95 in
100 that the water will be turned
within ninety days.
1t is an open question, however,
whether the turning of the river this
fall will be in time to prevent the
flooding Of the Southern Pacific main
line across the desert, and among the
possibilities is that for a short time
the railroad may transfer passengers
on the desert by means of the waters.

News

That the Southern Pacific is to have
q stalwart competitor for business In
the southwestern territory is more
than evident from developments in the
El Paso & Southwestern line situa-
tion. This news indicates that San
Diego will be its western terminus
sooner than expected
This line is now closely affiliated with
the Rock Island and i'm this section is
regarded as being destined to pass into
full control of the Rock Island-Frisco
interests.
The contest being waged between the
I'll Paso & Southwestern and the
Southern Pacific in different localities
grows out of the fact that several sur
veys and extensions are being planned
by the corps representing the different
systems.
The Ell Paso line runs from FL Paso
west to Benson, Ariz., and has branches
to Tombstone, Deming and points in
Mexico. Originally Phelps, Dodge &
Co. of New York built the line for the
purpose of hauling ore, fuel and sup
plies for their mining and smelter in
dustry at Bisbee and Douglas. Excess
sive freight charges of the Southern
Pacific were given as the reason why
the line was built.
When the Rock Island became a fac

board began to reach out for this small
line as a link connecting the Pacific
coast with it's immense territory east.
Meantime the Southern Pacific was
not slow in building feeders and ex-
tensions, getting new business in neg
lected localities.
AS already printed, the Ell Paso &
Southwestern has an eye on San Diego
and b. F. Yoakum and associates for
the past two years have made care
full studies of the Intervening ground
between Benson and San Diego and its
possibilities as freight producers.
Latest advices are that terminals and
other property have been quietly pur-
chased in and near San Diego, so that
the project will from now on make
rapid strides.

City Council Is Prepared to Pass

Ii six members Of the city coun-

ance vetoed by the mayor abandoning
a portion of Fifth street for the bene-
fit of the Southern Pacific will he
passed over the mayors head ONLY six
votes are necessary to pass the ordin-
ance over the veto as no expenditure of
money is contemplated in the instru
ment.
only six members of the city council
are available for duty, three having
leaves of absence. One of the six is
Dock Houghton and the particular di-
rection in which the Dock will jump on
this street abandonment is causing
considerable interest among the other
members of the council. There seems
TO be no doubt that Kern, Hitler, Smith,
Summerland and Ford will vote to pass
the ordnance over the veto. 1t seems
unlikely that Houghton will do any
thing to support the mayor.
Offers Compromise
AS compromise measure the South
ern Pacific has offered to dedicate to
the city a strip of land twelve and one
nail leel Wlue Dy ABOUT eight hundred
feet long, but the Southern Pacific
steadily refuses to deed the land to the
CITY, The offer of dedication was made
yesterday by Walter Parker.
Dedication will have the same effect
as deed to the city with one excep-
tion and 1t is that one exception that
probably induces the railroad to offer
dedication and refuse deed.
H. e. Huntington owns lot $50 feet
south of the land that the Southern
Pacific has already acquired for it's new
depot and the railroad is anxious to Sc
cure that lot, it is said. Mr.. Hunting
ton refuses to give it up without some
adequate return and that return is said
to be perpetual privilege to run his
cars over the Southern Pacific's land in
front of the new depot
By simply dedicating the property to
the city the Southern Pacific could
grant this privilege to Mr.. Huntington
while if deed was executed in favor
of the city the city would have to grant
Huntington franchise and make him
pay for it.
