Leading Citizens Start Move
ment for Better thorough

Perfect Organization There.

Some of the leading men OF the
city met Sunday night and inaugural
ed q move for better roads in Cochise
county. Those who took the initiative
In securing the meeting are the old
members of the Good Roads Associa-
ton, which was formed some time ago
and Incorporated. The meeting last
night was practically reorganization
of the old association on a basis of
securing better roads for the county,
as good public policy. The new or
ganization win be an association of all
who are interested 10 seeing the coun-
ty have good public thorough ares,
and any who are SO interested are
invited to join.
1t being the first meeting on the new
basis, but little more was done than
to perfect the organization, and map
out as well as could be done the next
steps to be taken to accomplish the
purpose OF the order. A committee
was appointed to go among the bust
ness and professional men and ask
them TO lend their influence to the
movement by joining the organization.
The committee was out for a little
while yesterday with the result that
already thirty have either joined or
pledged themselves to do so.
Among the plans discussed for the
furtherance of the objects of the asso-
citation was trip to Douglas, to or
ganize similar association in that
city. In accordance with the decis-
ion the following left yesterday in au-
tomobiles FOR the Shelter City:
Messrs. McNeish, Cunningham, Jack
McGregor, w. P. Sims, C. L. Caven,
F. E, Shine, W. H. Brophy and A L.
Mammalian. They started about 4 p. m.
and expect to return to the city early
in the morning.
That the men who compose the or.
ganization will be successful in ac-
complishing all that can be done to-
ward lettering the roads OF Cochise
county is not to be doubted by those
who know them, and their efforts will
no doubt receive the support and help
of the public.

VERDICT NOT GUILTY
IN REED CASE
Case Against Brannon On
Same Charge Dismissed.
Meal Ticket Dispute.

Ed Reed, who was arrested on a
charge OF having appropriated to his
own use q meal ticket which he found,
without making proper effort TO mad
the owner, was found not guilty by the
jury. The trial was in Judge Burdicks
court.
Ed Brannon. who was arrested on
the same charge as Reed, upon the
jury having returned q verdict Of not
guilty In the case Of Reed, was dis
charged upon the motion of the dis
trict attorney.
The evidence in the case showed
that Reed was in a saloon on Brewery
Gulch the night the owner OF the
ticket lost il, the evidence going to
show that the owner had been drink
ing. He dropped a number OF papers
On the floor, among them the meal
ticket, which Reed picked up. He
afterwards showed the ticket to the
bartender and asked him who the fell
low was whose name was on the
ticket.
Reed and Brannan were next seen
in the Edelweiss Cafe, where the lat
ter presented the ticket in payment
for what the two mad eaten. Later
when they were arrested the meal
ticket was found on Reed. The attor-
ney for the defense made the point
that there was no. evidence to show
that Reed had use the ticket, the same
having been presented by Brannon in
payment for the meal. The prosecu
ton claimed that Reed had benefited
by the ticket, that he could have easily
found the owner by inquiring at the
cafe, and that the ticket had been

recovery of damages to the amount

tiff. The case attracted considerable
interest in the local courts on account
Of some legal points that were IN
yolyed.
TIE goods for which, Mrs. Hurst
claimed damages were Christmas
presents consisting or SIS in money
and So worth of merchandise. The
points involved were whether Mrs.
Hurst could bring suit, as the prop
erty was consigned to a messenger
and was a present TO another. Did the
property no longer belong to her as
soon as she entrusted it to a mes
senger, and did it not after so
consigned become the property of
the person to whom it was sent, wAo
alone would be entitled to bring suit
for recovery? These questions were
involved as well as the claim Of the
company that inasmuch as money had
been put in the package with the meT-
chandise and the company had not
been notified that it contained money,
il was therefore nor duly warned so
that it could take the. pTcIer precad-
ton In forwarding it.
Judge Burdich, in whose court the
case was tried, decided in favor of the
plaintiff. upon which the attorneys
for the company, carried it to high

Keen Your Blood Pure.

No one can be happy, light-hearted
and healthy with a body full of blood
that cannot do its duty to every part
because of it's impurity; therefore, the
first and most important work in hand
is to purify the blood so that every
organ will get the full benefit Of a
healthy circulation. There is no rem
edy so good as that old family rem
edy, Brandreth's Pills. Each pill con-
tains one grain of the solid extract Of
sarsaparilla blended with two grains
Of a combination of pure and mild
vegetable products, making it blood
purifier unexcelled in character. One
or two taken every night for awhile
will produce surprising results.
Brandreths Pills have been in use
for over century, and are for sale
everywhere, plain or sugar-coated.

THE PROGRESS OF THE CANA
DIAN WEST.
Nearly 100000 of an Increase in Cana.
da's immigration in 1906.

| The progress OF a new country can
not be better ascertained than by not,
ing the increase Of railroad mileage in
its transportation system, and, judged
by this standard, the Canadian West
leads all the countries in the world
during the current year. Thirty years
ago there was not one hundred miles
OF railroad west of the Great Lakes,
and very little prospect OF trans
continental route for many years to
come, but by the end Of 1885 the
Canadian Pacific Railway was within
measurable distance of completion.
and last year-twenty years later
over 5000 miles of railroad traversed
the provinces OF Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta.
In the past year the work OF rail-
road construction has been vigorously
prosecuted, and by the end OF 1906,
some 5000 miles OF completed railroad
has been added, making a total Of
fully 1900 miles in the three great
grain producing provinces OF Canada.
Such an increase in the transportation
facilities of the country is bound to
make good times not only in the dis
tricts where the railroads are being
built, but throughout the entire west
Allowing $4,000 a mile for construc-
ton, the sum Of $100,000,000 will be
put in circulation, and this in itself
should cause good times to prevail in
a land where work is plentiful, wages
are high, and the cost OF living is mod
crate.
But the building OF new railroads
through Western Canada means a
greater benefit to the country than
merely the money put in circulation
by the cost Of construction. Addition
al railway building means the opening
OF new agricultural districts and an
additional area under crops; largely
increased output Of grain to foreign
markets with consequent financial re-
turns; the erection of elevators and
the growth Of villages, towns and cit
les; and everything else that makes
for the progress OF national life, and
the opening up Of additional thousands
OF free homesteads, SO extensively ad-
vertised by the Canadian government
agent, Whose address appears else
where.
1t was stated on the floor OF the
Canadian Parliament recently by a
prominent representative that ten
years from now would see the bulk OF
the population OF Canada residing
west Of the Great Lakes, and il the
work OF railway building during the
present year is any criterion, the
prophecy made by the Canadian states
man may be easily fulfilled inside OF
the time stated. During the present
year no less than 1S9,064 persons have
found homes in the Canadian west,
OF whom 57,796 were Americans who
have seen the great possibilities OF
this new West, and have decided to
cast in their lot with it. Certainly.
our neighbor north of the 49th parallel
is making a great record, and deserves
the success that appears to be coming
it's way.

MONKS FIRST PLAYED DOMINOES
Origin Of Game That Is Popular the
World Over.

with regard to the game OF dom
lnoes there is very interesting
story connected with its origin. 1t
runs thus: There were two monks
who had been committed to the pen
atty of long seClusiOn and were con
demned to keep absolute silence. To
relieve the monotony they played a
game by showing each other small
fiat stones marked with black dots.
BY MISUNDERSTOOD arrangement,
the monk whose hand was used at
first informed the other player by
repeating in an undertOue the first
line of the vesper hymn, "Cantate
Domino" (Sing unto the Lord. In
time the monks completed the set Of
stones and formulated the rules OF
the game, so that by the time they
were free to come out from their pun
ishment they had found the game so
Interesting that on teaching it to the
other members Of the monastery II
became a fayorite and lawful pastime.
1t soon became popular all through
Italy and from there extended to the
whole world. The first line OF the YES
per hymn which the monks had used
as signal was reduced to the word
domino. and the name has stuck to the
game ever since.
