Coal Dredge Sinks in River.

The Danville MOrning MeaoS says:
Hopewelps monster coal dredge,
the Great Eastern" which left
Danville last week for its home
port, Northumberland, never reach
ed its destination. At some dis
tance above the town it struck a
snag and went to the bottom of the
river where it remains at present.
The Great Eastern was famous
as the largest coal dredge on the
Susquehanna, The big dredge was
not considered as paying expenses
unless it extracted as minimum
quantity twenty-eight tons of coal
from the river bottom daily, 1t
was heavily weighted with engine,
boiler and other machinery and it
drew nearly two feet of water.
On returning to Northumberland
Friday, when in about seven feet of
water the dredge struck a stump
which had sunk i'll the river. The
men were thrown from their feet
by the impact as the collision &C.
Cured. At the same moment it was
discovered that a large hole had
been broken in the bottom of the
boat and that the water was pour
ing in. In two minutes time the
dredge sank, the crew having bare
ly time to escape to the flat boat,
which was being towed i'll the rear.

aud he was plainly talked of to
President Roosevelt as the possible
head Of the opposition ticket. Marse
Henry Watterson has not come out
for anybody yet in the Democratic
ranks. He has selected Governor
Hughes to make the running for the
Republican party and says he has
something good in reserve for his
own party, but he has not yet TAX
ell the public into his confidence as
to who it is.
XIX
Commissioner OF Patents Allen
has left his happy official home
where he was a good deal happier
here than the public that had to
deal with him, and there is some
prospect of a different and decided.
" better Patent Office administra-
tion than there has been for some
years past. Commissioner Allen
has won the reputation for allow
ing worse condition of affairs to
grow up in and around the Patent
Office than any previous incumbent.
Not ouly has the work of the gov
ernment fallen so far behind hand
that it will take months to catch up
with it, but the Commissioner has
encouraged by allowing a class of
patent attorneys to practice before
the Office who have done nothing
but bring the profession into disre-
pute. These fake attorneys, most
of whom know nothing about Pat
ent Law, make the most extrava-
giant claims in their advertisements
as to the things they can do for
their clients. But when the claims
are investigated, they invariably
prove valueless if not absolutely
fraudulent. 1t is believed that the
new commissioner, Mr.. Moore who
has been the assistant commissioner
for some years is about to institute
a thorough house cleaning and that
one of the first effects of his in
cumbency will be a number of dis
barments.
~
The Department of Justice has
announced its intention of institut-
ing proceedings in a few days
against the Powder Trust whose
head is Dupont, the new Senator
from Delaware. The Bureau of
Corporations has been hard at work
investigating the operations of this
trust for months past, and has dis
covered that not only has it been
powerful enough to almost COM
pletely stifle competition, but that
it now has the government entirely
at its mercy and in case of war
could exact any price that it chose
for the powder necessary to the
country's defense. Whatever is
the outcome of the prosecution, it
is almost assured that the govern
ment will establish a number of
factories of its own for service man
ufacture.

All Lines Renew COlonist Rates

T. c. Peck, general passenger agent of the Salt Lake road, re- turned to Los Angeles this week from the meeting of the Trans continental Passenger Associa- tion recently held in Chicago, and announced that colonist rates to California would not only be maintained next spring by all of the roads, but that they would in all probability be con- tinued just as long as people of the Middle West desired to come to California to make their homes.
 The colonist rate and the 2 cent-a-mile laws adopted by sev- eral eastern States worried the meeting of passenger agents until they decided that the low rate to California for homeseek- CTS each fall and spring should be discontinued. This decision was hastily reached and when genial Tom" Peck of the Salt Lake and Charles s. Fee of the Southern Pacific vigorously pro- tested against the action taken it was almost immediately re- scinded.
 California will still get her colonist rates," said MT. Peck, and this means that we will have more settlers here next spring thrn we have ever had before. The fall ibusiness has been good, but with the same rates in vogue from March l to April 30 of next year after ev- erybody thought they would be discontinued-the business will be something phenomenal.

A Bounty

The huntsman who kills a Cal ifornia lion or panther can get S25 for its hide from the state board of game and fish commits sioners. This is another avenue into which the commissioners have turned the proceeds from the license tax. In order to se- cure the reward the huntsman must send the pelt to the office of the commissioners at San Francisco, accompanied by an affidavit sworn to before a mag istrate, certifying that the ani- nal was killed since October.
 It will be recalled that some weeks ago publicity was given to complaints of hunters and others over the slaughter of deer and quail by lions, how this slaughter was widespread, and bade fair to result in the extermination of deer at least. It was from this that the commissioners awoke to the necessity of protecting the game by imposing bounty on belts of mountain lions. It is expected that the determination of the commissioners to pay such a liberial bounty will send many a-huntsman to the mountains eX- pressly to hunt down these ani- mals, which have become very numerous.

Why Colds are DanOerous

Because you have contracted ordinary colds and recovered from them without treatment of any kind, do not for a moment imagine that colds are not dan gerous. Everyone knows that pneu- monia and chronic chtarrh have their origin in a common cold. Consumption is not caused by a cold but the cold prepares the system for the reception and development of the germs that would not otherwise have found lodg- ment. 1t is the same with all infecti- ous diseases. Diphtheria, scarlet fever, measles and whooping cough are much more likely to be contracted when the child has a cold You will see from this that more real danger turks in a cold than in any other of the common ailments. The easiest and quickest way to cure a cold is to take Chamber lain's Cough Remedy. The many re- markable cures effected by this prepa- ration have made it a staple article of trade over a large part of the world. For sale by Fl Centro Drug Store.

Colt Show and Farmers Institute

A meeting of the Imperial Val ley Stock Breeders Association will be held Saturday afternoon at the office of the Ira Aten Land Co. to make preparations for the Farmers Institute which will be held in El Centro Dec. 6 and z and the colt show which will oc- cur Dec. z. At this meeting a program will be prepared and the matter of awards for colts in various classes will be decided.
 The institute will undoubtedly be the largest and most success full ever held in the valley. Pa pers will be read by agricultur- ists of prominence and matters of importance to farmers of the valley will be informally discuss ed. It is expected that J. F.. Roth, of Brawley will talk on cantaloupe and potato culture. MT. Roth was formerly of Rocky Ford and it was he who gave the first instructions to Fl Centro melon growers two years ago.

A Warning

As the time for irrigating is at hand and the careless irrigator is apt to flood the public roads more or less, I wish to call the attention of the public to the fact that there is a strict law against the flooding of roads and that the road commissioner has received instructions to prosecute any and all offenders.
