 For the first time in several years the railroads and mining companies have maintained lobby at Phenix to prevent the passage of measures in- imical to their interests. The rail- roads are trying to prevent the pas sage of a freights and fares bill and it now looks as though they would suc- ceed. The bills that have been intro duced with the object of giving Ari- zona fare rate over it's railroad have been killed by heavy votes in bol h houses. Yet the men who Lave been elected to represent the different coun- ties have been in a way pledged to give the people relief from almost con- fiscatory freight and passenger rates. It is noticeable that few legislators are returned by their constituents af- ter one term in either house in Ari- zona and the reason is quite apparent when their votes on important meas uses is needed by the corporations against the peoples interests. But Arizona need not think she has leg islature that is exclusive in this par ticular. There are others.

Frank c. Hendrickson Accidently
 Killed.

Last Sunday evening Frank G. Hen- drickson met death at his own hands, , at the camp of the Tawa Development company, five miles east of Blackberry. With James Willard Hendrickson oc- , cupied tent at the rOadcamp of the company, and on Sunday evening the two men were in their tent preparing for bed. Willard had undressed and Hendrickson had examined the fasten- ings of the tent flap, taken off his tie and collar and apparently bent down to lay the collar and tie on box at the foot of his bed, when his gun start ed to fall from his inside vest pocket. The gun was evidently cooked, as in grasping it to prevent it falling to the ground it was discharged, the bullet striking Hendrickson in the center of the breast and ranging downward through the heart and other vitals and passing out on the left side of the backbone, near the hip and into the dirt floor of the tent. The report of the gun startled Willard and he sat up in bed to ascertain it's cause. Hen- drickson gasped out, 'Damn that gun"' and was struggling to keep on his feet. Willard asked him if he was hit and he answered yes. Then the wounded man gradually sank to the floor and Willard picked him up and placed him on the bed. A few gasps and he was dead. Willard called for help and in few minutes men came from the oth- CT tents, but found that Hendrickson was beyond the aid of man.
 Hendrickson was foreman of the roadwork on the new road being built into the big copper camp east of Hack berry and was building large bridge through the canyon. He was sober, industrious fellow, but was somewhat peculiar. He evidently had little experience with firearms and his man. ner of handling pistol lead the men to believe that sooner or later he would shoot himself or someone else with his pistol. He carried the weap- on in his inside vest pocket and it had fallen to the ground several times. He was warned of the danger, but refused to change his manner of carrying the gun. Sheriff Brown and Coroner An son IT. Smith went ont tO the camn Tuesday where an inquest was held on the remains. A verdict of accidental death was returned by the jury. Hen- drickson had been employed on many important contracts throughout the country, but appeared to be down on his luck. He leaves relatives in Vir- ginia, who have been notified of his unfortunate ending.

Last Tuesday one of the heaviest general rains of the year fell over this county. In many places it amounted almost to cloudburst, but little dam age was done. In California and Nev- ada the railroads were washed out and at the intake tD Salton sea it was fear ed there would be another break in the levee. While the danger to that work is not past it is believed that the entertainments will stand. The Salt and Gila rivers are as high as when they caused the great break through New River a few years ago.

Money Plays No Part in Human
 Happiness

Whenever and wherever I travel. l am always impressed with a growing conviction of the small part which money plays in human happiness Some of the most unhappy people l have ever encountered were lowered with earthly boon.
 During this season there has been a man worth millions, pos ses sed of bright children and gentle faced wife; yet the mans disposition ruined his own life and that of his family.
 His face looked like the envel- ope of a forwarded letter. It was marked all over with the stamp of ill-tenper and discontent. His wife's face expressed disap- pointment, Weariness and fear, and cynic at 20.
 They had travelled the world over, yet found nothing of inter est anywhere, and for people -.ss.,;E ,-.sas.,;E had little but criticism; ey0 for one another No laborer's family could be more unhappy, surely.

stantiated by the history of great souls, The most noble, the most successful, the m ost ad- mirable, the most beautiful lives in the worlds galaxy, were not those who from youth to matur- ity found the condition by which they were surrounded to their liking. Every great soul makes it's environment serve it's purpose of development. And once a man does this, he begins the mastery of circumstances. He begins to create his own environment, he begins to understand what the word Happiness" means. He knows it is independent of money, place, or position; it is within.

looking out, never in, for happi ness. Happiness is like woman and so long as the human heart is like a pursuing lover she turns her face away
 When lover ceases to pursue, and business himself in other ways, happiness looks and smiles. The object of life is not personal happiness sit is self development self completion.
 Keep that in mind, oh, you who seek joy! No matter whether .you are rich or poor, the idle tourist or the day laborer; the spender of unearned inheritance or the wage earner. The object of life is the development of the best in you.
 Once you realize this, happiness will be possible to you. The very realization brings it nearer.
 Until you realize, believe and know it to be true, nothing can give you happiness. You will seek, and seek vainly, for last ing pleasure as fast as you at tain some desired object, its value will depart; as soon as joy is seized, it will perish. But once you understand that life is given you as a season for self development, the great search light of the soul will fall on the way to happiness, and you will know that you are on the road.
 1t Is useless to say that in order to develop your best self you must have money and a change of environment.

There are many flowers that change
color" said the old gardener. There
is the mutabue phlox, for instance
At sunrise it is blue and In the after

three changes in the day, from white
in the morning to rose at noon and to

The lantana is yellow one day, orange
the next and red the third. Its
changes are slow. There are other
flowers, too, that change. There's the

white to yellow and from yellow to

ARRESTED ON CHARGE OF
BUYING STOLEN BRASS
Chicago Junk Man in the Tolls in West
Hammond - Questionable Property
Thought to Have Been Taken From
GrasseIi Chemical Works.

Solomon Koslof, a junk dealer, was
arrested in West Hammond last night
on the charge of buying stolen brass.
Koslof, who is from Chicago, comes to
West Hammond every two weeks and
always goes back to the city with a
wagon load of brass, rags, etc.
For some time the Graselh Chem
ical works have been the victim of
brass thieves but were never able TO
find the thieves.
The West Hammond police were no
tilted and started searching in West
Hammond for the culprits. Yesterday
as Koslof was in the village, Officer
Kulczyk followed him until he came
to the residence of Martin Dumbrowski,
who carried several brass castings.
Kulczyk waited until the junk dealer
had bought the brass and then arrested
him on a charge of buying stolen
property.
Young Dombrowski was also arrest
ed and will be given a chance to eX-
plain at his trial how he came into pos
session of the brass. The trial is
slated for this afternoon. Koslof who
is occupying a cell insists that he did
not know the brass was stolen and is
pleading to be released.

MAY START DRUG STORE.
Rensselaer, Man Looks For Site Near
Standard Steel Car Company.

+. B. Meyers Of Rensselaer,, Ind, is
still looking for a drug store location.
he was in Hammond yesterday and in
vestigated the big suburb where the
steel car works are being built. There
are some 1000 people there now and
no drug store. About 20 saloons have
been started there already. and the
population is almost totally foreign
and beer drinkers all. The steel cor
poration has erected about 40 frame
fat houses, each containing ten four
room apartments. They are roughly
built but rent for SIS each apartment,
and are crowded with Polanders, Rus
slams Greeks Scandinavians, Norwegian
and other nationalities. It is a little
doubtful if a drug store would pay
there until the better class Of mechan-
les begin coming in and better habita-
ton conditions are provided but there
seems no doubt it will be a big city
within a few years as the plant is eX-
pected to employ from 5000 to 1000
workmen many Of them skilled me-
chanics. Only one brick building has
been started there and it is a two
story two-roomed one, with a corner
frontage well suited for a drug store
but $45 a month rent is wanted from
the start and Frank questions the ad-
visibility of tackling it until there are
more prospects of misunderstanding

Real Estate Business Enjoys UnwOnted
Activity; Interurban Responsible.

Steglitz Park is enjoying a boom
as a result of the numerous industries
that have located in the Calumet region
and there has been great activity in
real estate circles.
1t is said that the Chicago Lake
shore and South Bend interurban line
will give the people of Steglitz Park
perfect communication with all of the
big industries of the region.
1t is only five minutes walk TO the
big plants in Whiting and Indiana
Harbor and the location of the park is
a good one.
It is also said that one man has
already advertised a subdivision fol
sale and that another is TO be put on
the market soon.
The low prices of real estate are ex-
pected TO attract purchasers and 1t is
thought there will be quite town
