Ittakes whole tons of credulity
to enable one, however free from
scepticism, to swallow that wild
and woolly tale about 8 -day-old
baby talking. But the most diff
cult feature of the story to ac-

allegation that the child was a

AT its meeting in Columbia
this week the state board of rail-
road assessors certainly "waxed

panies in South Carolina. The
board practically doubled the as
sessment of all railroad property,
increasing the total assessment
of last year from 2,O40,3I9 TO
$63 800, 900. The increase was
made In pursuance of a decision
on the part of the board to assess
railroad property at its true mark.

mother to cut OF a child. Fathers

something that displeases him, and to

obedient offspring five dollars and lets

The state Of Nevada, was at
a recent convention of the Epis-
copal church held at Richmond,
Va, divided into a missionary
district of itself and bishop has
been elected to take charge of
this district. Nevada has for
merly been divided between the
bishops of Sacramento and Salt
Lake, but the recent phenomenal
growth of the state has entailed
too much work on these men and
the recent action was made nee
essary.
State Superintendent of Public
Schools Orvis Ring has recovered
from the effects of the operation
recently underwent by him in
San Francisco. He is still quite
weak, however, and will be I'M
able to attend to the duties of
his Office for some time, which,
in the meantime, will be under
the supervision of the district
deputies.
The state board of education
and the district deputies have
been comforting with a view of
establishing uniform course of
study throughout the state.

PROSPECT OF ANOTHER
RAILROAD IN PANHANDLE

From Ell Paso Herald.
FL Paso has held off so long in the
matter of the new short line railroad
to the Pecos Valley and the Texas
Panhadle that it is not unlikely ano-
ther railroad will be built, tending to
draw traffic in an opposite direction
and cement those sections rather to
Fort Worth and Dallas tnan to Ell
PaSo.
FL Paso has everything in it's fav-
or that nature could do. The distances
are shorter and the natural channels
of trade are this way, but Transports
ton facilities are lacking. 1t is now
proposed to build road from Here
ford south by way of Odessa to con
nection with the Texas & Pacific and
the Orient road. If this is done, it is
easy to see that the trade of tnat vast
region, now wholly without railroad
facilities, will drift south to Fort
yer and Kansas City, rather than west
to FL Paso by roundabout and cost
ly route.
Moreover, if that north and south
road should be built, it would there
after be hard to finance an east and
west road through the same terrific
ry-at least for good many years.
If Ell Paso wants the trade of the
Pecos Valley and the Panhadle, El
Paso will have to lend generous aid
in the promoting of the short line
railroad. 1t is the best railroad prop
osition in the United States today.
and there is no reason why our peo-
pie should not get part of the benefit
directly as well as Indirectly.
