Fighting the SaIton Sea.

Ranger Harry McPhaul, who for some time past has been stationed at Yuma, passed through the city yes- terday en route to the section sur- rounding Salome on business of an official nature. He says that the day before he left Yuma the great dredger which has been under con- struction for several weeks was Launched and will at once be put to work digging a channel for the Colorado river to take when the in- take at the Salton sea is closed up. He was very positive that the present operations of the Southern Pacific company in dealing with the situations will be rewarded by sue cess. The channel which is being dug is eighteen feet deep and mile wide, and rapid headway will now be made. The government is assist ing the railroad in its work, and between 300 and 400 men, formerly employed on government work in and around Yuma, have been loaned the contracting company in charge of the work.

Cattle and Sheep Market.
Stock Yards, Kansas City, Mo.
 August 13, 1906.


 August 13, 1906.
 This promises to be another week of moderate cattle receipts, supply 1l,000 head today, same as on last Monday. The run last week was 42,000 head. decrese of more than 2,000 head for the same week lats year. Pastures are in fine condition generally all over the west, and owners dislike to market stuff when it is doing so well. Kansas and Missouri also marketed good many steers in July that ordinarily would come about this time, and another thing, which is affecting qaaran- tine receipts, is the excellent pros poets for corn in Oklahoma and Indian territories, causing owners to hold some of their caS Sle for feed ing this fall. Some medium to common New Mexico and panhandle stockers have sold lately at $2.85 to $40, panhandle cows today at $2.- 35 to $2.S0, veals $3.50 to $4.00 for heavy ones, light weights quotable up to $500. No cattle direct from Colorado are here to-day, but some wintered Coloradoss grazed in Kan sas sold to feeders at $4 .00 and $4. .15 to-day. Late last week a shipment from Wolcott, Colorado, contained heifers at $40, cows $3.l l5, and some light cows at $2.6O, but this was not considered full test of the market, as finish was lacking. h. dications favor another week or two of light receipts, and strong markets A good many country buyers had to go home empty handed last week, account of small supply of that class. The enormous yield of corn now assured will likely cause an extraordinary demand for stockers and feedres all fall.
 The sheep market advanced l5 to 9 cents last week, on the small supply of 15, 900 head, but buyers demanded concessions to-day, and lambs particularly sold 10 to 15 cents lower, run 4,500 head. The market is likely to rule uneven for awhile, as packers claim their stuff is costing them too much money, and will insist on lower prices whenever there is a heavy run. Shippers should dist. ibute their consignments, and try to avoid centering too many sheep at the Northern markets, while this point is lightly supplied. Arizona spring lambs sold at $7.00 to $7.20 to-day, not extra quality, Utah sheep and yearlings to killers at $4.S5, New Mexico sheep A.65. Large orders for feeding stuff are held here, a round $4.75 for wethers, $500 for good lambs, and up to S5.25 for breeding ewes, but present volume of receipts is altogether inad equate to fill these orders.

Bitten by a Dog.

| Tuesday evening at the Branni- gan ranch north of Bellemont a stray dog came to the ranch and en- tered the house, and while betting the dog the little daughter of MT. Brannigan was bitten in the face by the animal.
 The child was brought to Flag staff and the injury was dressed by Dr. Brannen. The injuries were of such nature as to require the taking of a number of stitches in the wounded cheek of the child. The dog belonged to a neighbor and was killed shortly after its att tack on the child. While the ani- maj was vicious one, no danger from the wound is expected. Mir. Albert Blair returned from the Heiser ranch Sunday with Mir. c. w. Heiser. They report that the flies were so numerous that they could not do any of the branding which they had expected to do. MT. Heiser will return to his ranch the first of the week.
 H. c. Hibben. for county re- corder, as always in the past, was the first to announce. This week J. w. Francis and James Kennedy announce their candidates for sher- if on the democratic ticket, and Jesse Gregg announces he is can- didate for member of the board of supervisors on the same ticket. J. o. Harrington announces his can didacy for the nomination of mem- Der of the board of supervisors on the republican ticket.
 Mrs. M..J. Kennedy, who recently returned to Williams from New Castle. Ind, came up from Williams Monday evening and will remain in town until after the quarterly ex- aminations for teachers. Mrs. Kennedy expects to return to Willi- ans after the examinations and teach in the public school there. Mrs. Kennedy reports that her little girl, for the benefit of whose health she went east last year, has greatly improved and it is now expected that she will be quite well in short time.

1t IS an encouraging sign that little
by little the men who run the railroads
are learning a few things One Of these
things is that the American people do
not propose to allow the railroads to
run other peoples business in addition
to their own. Neither do they propose
to allow the railroads to make the laws
for the country.
An indication that the railroad mag
mates are learning is evident in the an
nouncement that the Kansas roads do
not propose to attack the maximum oil
rate law in the courts. but will try to
show to the next legislature that it is
unjust and try to g,t it changed. IN
the meantime they win obey the law.
There was a time not so very long ago
when the big traffic managers and gen
eral solicitors would have ordered their
agents to pay no attention to the law
and the railroad lawyers would have
been expected to find a way to defend
the agents and knock the law out. The
railroad lawyers are not always to
blame for the fool things that are DONE
They realize many times that 1t is a
mistake to override public sentiment.
but the magnates back in New York
or some other place refuse to pay any
attention to public sentiment. They
order the lawyers to see that legislators
and railroad commissioners and asses
sors and United States senators and all
other officers whom they need, are
friendly to the railroads.
Now that sort of thing IS rapidly
coming to an end, and the wise railroad
man sees it. If the railroads insist on
dunning the politics of the country and
making the laws controlling the OFFICERS.
tn ? railroads are going to get the worst
OF it in the long run. because the peo-
pie are tired OF it.
The people have nothing against the
railroads on their own account The
railroads are a great public necessity.
For that reason they have been foster
ed and built up by public aid. But the
people wish them run according TO the
square deal idea. The people are will
ing that they should make a fair profit
on their investment. but the people are
not willing that railroad n1agnates
should water their stock, and charge
enormously excessive rates in order to
pay interest on big bond issues and divi-
dends on inflated values besides. The
people are not willing that the rail-
roads should try to own legislators and
other public OFFICERS in order that they
may make laws or override laws as
they wish.
The State Journal believes it Is all
right for railroads to lobby in their own
interests. provided they do it openly and
on the square. But they should not use
their great influence TO secure undue

INsIrRANCE TERNIs.

The April Worlds Work which Is
special life insurance number gives
the following dehnition OF insurance
words and terms which every policy
holder ought to know:
A level premium is a premium
which is the same at every payment:
that is. which becomes no greater as
the policyholder grows older.
The reserve is the excess amount
charged in the early years of level
premium policies to offset the failure
to increase the premium during the
later years. This reserve is invested
by the company, and the proceeds
from it make up the deficiencies in the
later premium payments.
The annual surplus IS the excess
amount paid in by policyholders above
the sum paid out in death claims, and
in expenses of management plus the
interest earned by the reserve above
the percentage of the requirement.
Dividends are the portion of the sur
plus divided among the policyholders.
Deferred dividends are dividends
that are not distributed among the
poiicyhoIders annually but are held by
the company and paid to the policy
holder at longer. periods, usually TWEEN
ty years.
A surrender is the act of policy
holder in giving UP his policy for a
consideration from the company.
The surrender value. or cash sur
render value, of a policy is the amount
the company agrees to pay if the
policyholder surrenders his policy.
This is less than the sum that he has
paid in premiums.
A participating policy is one en-
titling the policyholder to share IN any
dividends that the company may pay.
A nonparticipating policy is one that
gives the holder no right to dividends.
An annuity is money paid back an
nually to policyholder at stated in
tervals after certain date. in consid-
Grafton of the money that he has paid
into the company.
Installment policies. return pre-
1niums, gold bonds, and other similar
arrangements are varieties of annuities
in combination with life insurance.
A tontine policy is one on which the
holder receives nothing if he fails to
keep up his premium till he dies.
Term insurance is insurance for a
specified number of years. The
amount for which the policyhoFder is
insured is paid only in case he dies be-
fore the expiration of the agreed term.
Renewable term insurance is term
insurance with the additional privilege
of renewal of the policy at the end of
the first term or succeeding terms of
years without further medical exanni-
nation.

Ben Baker gives this historical remin-
/ fscence in the Smith County Journal:
Osborne and Downs papers don't APP
pear to agree as to the date of the IN
dian scare on Covert creek along the
latter part of the 70ties. If there are
any records regarding the runaway it
will be shown that all the people drove
to Osborne as fast as the teams would
take them, some time during the fall
of 1878. The writer was one of the
boys in the party of excursionists and
the. balance of the children in the fam
lily were admonished to keep their
heads below the top of the wagon box
and allow people who knew how. have
a chance to do the fighting. We can
remember very distinctly the time. A
neighbor called at the door Of the dug
out and said we had better get to safe
ty as the Indians had killed every fam
ily on the creek. The little town of
/ Osborne was a fortress filled with all
the families from the Covert creek
country and at the same time there
was not an Indian within Is miles of
them.
