RODEO CITIZENS WANT
 ARTISAN WATER
Hope to Be Able to Cultivate Acres in San Simon Valley f Water Can Be Developed in Sufficient Quantities,

A. T. Prather and his father-in-iaw w. J. English, two of Rodeo's prom inent citizens and substantial busi- ness men, were visitors to Paradise, says the Paradise Record. Rodeo, these gentleman affirm, is brighten ing up, and the cause is to be found in the desirable farming land that lies in the San Simon valley round about Rodeo. -as
 During the past year quite a num- Der of families have moved into the valley from different portions of the Union, attracted hither by the climate and the land. And to get down to the gist of the matter, it is understood that the San Simon valley is one of the few sections where fertile govern ment land may be had practically for the asking. The result is as intimat- ed and the land is all taken up for exceeding a mile from RodeO in every | direction.
 Mir. Prather replied that if present plans should carry, the farmers need not depend on precipitation. Said he: we expect to demonstrate artes- l ian water in the valley. Every indi' l cation points to its presence. A land
 and irrigation company has been ] formed to induce new settlers to come and aid them in securing land (foI
 there is plenty of good land lefD ; also to furnish artesian water. A
 well-boring outfit is already on hand
 and has drilled 200 feet; not finding
 the formation desired, the drillers
 have begun to work at another point

fully dressed, was lying across the bed grooming. Mir Winn approached her and asked her if she was in pain. There was no answer, only groans. Then MT. Winn noticed the dark stain of blood, as it spread over the bed, and he immediately ran below, to tel ephone for physician, telling those in tine saloon he believed Mrs. Bed ford had killed herself No sound of the shot was heard in the saloon.
 Dr. c. E. Yount was summoned, and arrived at 2:24 o'clock. At 2:27 o'clock the unfortunate woman gasped her last. The body was left as it was found, while Justice Of the Peace McLane was notified, and a coroner's jury summoned After the jury had viewed the remains the body was removed to Ruffner's undertak. ing establishment.
 An examination of the dead woman showed that she had shot herself in the left breast, just below the nipple, the bullet. of 3S caiber, passing com pletely through her body aud lodging inside the feather pillow, upon which she was evidently leaning, when the shot was fired, where it was later found.
 So ar as the testimony of witness. es at the inquest, held yesterday after noon, and a search of her room re vealed, the suicide left no farewell notes or letters, or any message oI | reason as to the cause of her rash l act. After she was found. which was 1 but few moments, apparently, aftel the shot was fired. she never spoke Just before she had retired to hel
 room she spoke of going to Los An l geles, in a few days, to visit hel
 mother This, taken with the circum stances surrounding the committing O
 the deed itself, leads to the belief tha while she might have premeditateC
 self-destruction, she fired the shot oI | the impulse of the moment.
 l The dead woman, who is said to b.
 related to the Earnings, owners 0 the Catalina Island resort, is tn
 mother of little 3-year-old girl, re
 siding with Mrs. Mitchell in Los An geles.
 Mr. Bedford, divorced husband 0 ,, the suicide, is also residing in To Angeles at present.

PAINE WEBER COPPER LETTER.

BOSTON, April 10.-The market was comparatively dull with small fluctuations today. A report that the sellin agencies in New York has re- duced the price of copper created con. siderable bearish feelin and stocks were freely sold all through the list We feel fairly confident that the price of copper will be maintained above twenty cents for the balance of the year and we also feel sure that the good producing mines have not as yet begun to discount 20 cent copper mar ket as they are now selling on prac- tically the same basis as when cop per was 16 to IS cents. Any reduc- tion, however, in prices of metal Will naturally cause some frightened sell ing and will also stop all speculative buying so that we will probably have sagging market until the exact posi- tion of the metal is more clearly de termined. For the next few days we advise the sale of copper stocks on any rally.

D.&c. CANAL LOSES SUIT

Judge Morris. in the United States Cir.
cuit Court, at Baltimore, has decided
that the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal
Company has no right to prohibit owners
of tugs to tow only barges belonging to
them through the canal. The decision
was rendered in the suit of Charles
Gring, of Camden. N. j., against the
Chesapeake and Delaware Canal Com
pany.
Under a rule made and enforced by
the canal company owners OF tugs were
allowed to tow through the canal only
barges belonging to them. Barges not
belonging to the owners of the tugs were
required by the company TO be towed
through the canal by the tugs of the
Canal and Back Creek Towing Company.
Mr.. Gring brought suit because of the
enforcement of the rule against him.
Judge Morris decided that tine rule was
an unreasonable regulation and that he
would grant an injunction restraining the
canal company from enforcing it. The
Judge also said that he would require the
canal company to account to Mr.. Gring
for the money which Mr. Gring has lost
by reason of the enforcement of the rule

IN COMPETENT RA1IROAp1Ee

This is the way the New York Sunday
World looks at it, and we think, ii sizes
up the situation to perfection:
Sometimes it is a rear-end collision.
Sometimes it is an open switch. Some.
times it is misread order. Sometimes
it is a careless train dispatcher, Some.
times it is broken rail or broken axle
or a broken flange. Sometimes it is 8
reckless engineer. But it is always some.
thing. Nothing interferes with the
American railroads benefcent work ol
reducing its patrons to pulp.
,sThs wreck Of the New York Central
suburban express at Bronx Park bridge
in which % persons were killed and l5t
Injured, is the same old story Of incom-
petent railroading fts only new feature
was the element of the third rail. which
added to the terror of the injured and
hampered the work OF the rescuers.
Whether the disaster was due to the
spreading of the rails or an excessive rate
of speed, the indictment against the
management is the came. There is nc
excuse for spreading rails. There
is no excuse for fimsy coaches that can
not hold to the track. It is time that
the responsibility for railroad wrecks
was placed where it belongs-and that is
at headquarters.
Whatever the canse may be the fact
remains that, judged by the results ol
operation, the American railroad mana
ger is incompetent and the records Of
death and disaster prove it.
