TAKES A TRIP
TO FAR CATHAY.

James Legget is in Glenwood
today. He has Just -retpraea from
Hong Kong. China, and Intends
to make bee-line back to that
yellow country.
For about seventeen years Mr..
Legget was resident of this
part of the world. He served as
marshal of Carbondale for a long
period, and at one time owned Al
ranch on the present site of Red
stone.
When things became little
dull Legget packed up his grips
md started for China and Japan
He had plenty of entertainment
both going and coming. He tray
eled out of Portland on freight
steamer. and was 30 days reach
ing the Orient and 45 days on
The way home.
"There are plenty of opportuni-
ties in China for Americans who
have some capital" said Mr.. Leg
aet this morning. Il am think
ing of going into the dairy buSi-
ness in Hong Kong. That branch
of trade is conducted there almost
exclusively by Americans and
Europeans. The Chinese in Hong
Kong don't use milk.
1T sells for 95 cents a gallon.
orr money, or .$1.95 Chinese. The
English people are in control OF
Hong Kong. as you undoubtedly
know"
Mr.. Legget is thinking of tax
ing charge of big dairy, and he
secs where he will make big
profit by so doing. He is expert.
enced in this line of business, and
does not fear competition.
CAS- far as war between Japan
and the United States is concern
cd" said he, 81 see no immedi-
ate danger. I was in Kobe, how
ever, the day after the outbreak
in Vancouver, and on that same
day three American war vessels
dropped anchor there. The Jap
nnese seemed to think that the ar
rival of the ships was bluff on
the part of Uncle Sam, and con-
sequently the feeling over the
natter got pretty strong"
This was Mr.. Legget's first
trip to the Orient. He is we'll
pleased with what he learned.
Ills friends in Carbondale and vi
cinity will be sorry to lose him.
hut wish him good luck in his
new ventures.

smallest trifes-traits of charac-
ter of which his majesty has been
free all his life. He grasped with
alacrity the excuse afforded by
the death of King Carlos to aban-
don all of the functions planned
for the English court for the
spring months. He has come to
find such things decided bore
and is glad of any opportunity to
escape them. On the advice Of
his physicians the king is plan
ming to go to the continent much
earlier this year than has been his
custom, and if the news regard
ing the Czarina 's condition con
tinues of the same unfavorable
character he probably will pay an
early visit to St. Petersburg.

GOOD ADVICE
FOR YOUNG FOLKS

Denver, Feb. 13.-One of the
most interesting as well AS in
structive talks ever given in the
chapel at Denver university was
that yesterday morning by Mr..
J. B. Wiley on the subject of
Preparation for Life From the
Standpoint of Business. Mr.
Wiley is handling one of the iarg-
est irrigation projects ever plan
ned in the Arkansas valley. lie
is also interested in the beet sn-
gar industry, having built the
factories at Holly and Sugar
City. 1t was but a very few min
utes after Mr.. Wiley started talk.
ing that he had convinced the stu
dent body of his sincerity. lie
gave few pointed hints to one
Intending to enter a business GA
,.ecr.
First of all. he said. ''be
prompt and on time. Don't GU
work and stand around wait
'ng for the bell to ring before
YOU think about working. BE
here on time and ready to d.
omething
when your boss, whoever ho
nay be. the president of the con,
amy or forcman-whenever he
ellis you to do anything, do it
md do it all over. Don't stanG
,round and make excuses or tell
him you know of a better way
If you cant do as he says and dc
It promptly, get out and make
"oom for better man.
cone thing l want to impress
On your minds thoroughly is this.
Don t make excuses. The fellow
who always has a headache or a
lame foot. or who says his folks
are rich and he doesn't have tc
work. is just the fellow who is
pushed out of the business world
INTO the crowd, and the crowd
passes on, leaving him there max
ing excuses.
"Get the habit of doing things
right and thoroughly. After you
have acquired this habit, You dc
it unconsciously, it becomes q
part of your personality.
"Be wide awake and be quick
at grasping ideas. Don't slouch
around and dream Of everything
except your own business.
"Be neat. A successful bust
ness man always has his clothes
brushed and his hair combed
Shave every morning. Don't put
it off until you just happen to
think about it. And, ladies, for
goodness sake, fix your hair. /
can't imagine anything more
maddening than stenographer
taking dictation and stopping ev-
cry minute or two to fix her hair.
above all things, have conf
dence in yourself and in others as
we'll. That is one of the best
hints I can give you. Don't draw
your pay before it is due or Dor
row from your friends in the Of
flee. They will all learn to hate
YOU and you will hate yourself.
"Don't criticise the way the
business is conducted. Probably
you would do no better. If you

With a Load Of Buckshot Dim
Matevi Puts End to Life Of
Antonio Angelo
SOME MYSTERY IN CASE

AT the sheriff 5 Office last night
news was received of a murder
at Marion, the C. F. & l. coal
camp, located about II miles
south of Glenwood.
Jim Matevi, an Italian coal
miner. formerly employed as a
bartender. fired load of buck
shot into the breast of Antonio
Angelo, known also as Vaselein,
one of his countrymen, killing
him Instantly. The bloody affair
occurred in Markati's saloon
about $50 o'clock last night in
the presence of a number of wit
nesses, who were so Mortified that
they did not undertake to pursue
the murderer. Matevi was not
located last night, though officers
were after him.
Full details of the tragedy are
not obtainable this morning, and
only a general story of the affair
reached Glenwood. 1t appears
that Matevi entertained no per-
sonal hatred for Angelo, and that
the latter, to certain extent,
brought his fate upon himself.
Matevi had a quarrel with an
other Italian in the saloon, and in
a rage, left the place and hast
ened to his cabin, where he seized
his shotgun. He returned to the
saloon and, standing in the door
way, declared that he would kill
the first man who moved. What
his intentions were at the time no
one seems to understand. Ange.
10, it appears, had an idea that
Matevi was either trying to run Il
bluff or play joke. He got up
from his chair and undertook to
push Matevi ont of the door. The
shot then was fired, and Angelo
fell upon the barroom floor with
blood gushing from gaping
wound in his breast. He suffered
hut little, as death occurred iii
few moments.
1t is believed that the murder
was due to ill-temper on the part
Of Matevi. and it is probable that
he had been drinking more liquor
han was good for him.
Matevi is well known in Sun
shine. where he formerly worked
as bartender in Horace Haff's sa-
loon. and also in Cardiff. During
the absence of Sheriff Zimmer-
man, who is in Denver to take
charge of a prisoner wanted here,
Under Sheriff Bert Cardnell is
directing the search for Matevi.
Deputy Sheriff Horace Half is
hunting for Matevi, and there is
good chance that he will be able
to locate him. Cardnell left this
morning for the scene of the
crime and will conduct an active
search for Matevi. The latter is
sometimes called "Ferro" by his
countrymen, this being nick
name
On account of the lack OF de-
mand for coal, Marion was closed
ND about six weeks ago by the C..
F. & |.

nuar el trabajo de Ia Comision de Ia
Anemia.
FL tr4bajo que Sc ha estado veri-
fcando tn Puerto Rico, durante los
u(timos cuatro amos, para Ia supre-
sion De la unclnariasis, ha llamado la
atenci6n iversalm entc. Cuando el
.Gobierno Ingles trato de extinguir
esa enfermedad en- la India. sc men
.cion6 Puerto Rico como el pals que
tenfa establ ecido eli metodo ideal pa
.ra csc traba lo Alemania gasto
1900 600 marcos tn In Suppression dc
la enfermedAd EN- Westfaiia. donde
estuvieron empleados goo mcdicos y
solo fueron tratados 10000 pacientes
y cuandO las autorldades medlcas
italianas trataron de combatir Ia en-
fermedad en- su pals, al preparar su
plan para clio. citaron Puerto Rice
como modelo mejor que Alemania
Debido al trabaj0 realizado en- Puer-
ID Rico, mucaos de los Estados del
Sud de los Es.ados Unidos de Anne
rica practicaron investigaciones y en-
contraron casOs dc dlcha enferm edad,
habieudo varios dc ellos adoptado el
plan dc Puerto Rico para su supre-
sion, especialmente el Estado de
Florida.
Puerto Rico ha venido 4 ocupar el
lugar mas promlnente en- la lucha
contra esta enfermedad, y no solo ha
beneficiado 4 su propio pueblo. sino
que con su ejemplo IA ayudado al
mundo entero, y yo creo que seria I'm
grave error permitir que el traba 10
no siguiera adelante despues de obte-
ner resultados tan esplendidos.
Creo, no obstante, que ese ira baj 10
ha llegado ahora a punto tal que
puede llevarse adelante por los GO
biernos locales, extendiendo los be-
nehcios del plan a todos los munici-
pios que deseen cooperar con el go
bierno para su realization.
Debe proveerse 10 necesario para
que cualquier municipio que desee
establecer una estacion de anemia,
y este dispuesto a suplir la inspec-
cion medica necesaria, reciba q ex-
pensas del goblerno, los materiales
y medicinas que fueren precisos, y
los servicios de un practicante para
que atienda al dispensario,
ASA1NACIONES,
No creo acertado tratar question al
guna de asignaciones relacionadas
con Ell corriente affo economico, mas
que 10 que fuese necesario para gas
tos de la session, pero 81 resultase que
alg1n departamento tiene obligacio-
mes por pagar correspondence a
afios economicos anteriores, que de-
ban satisfacerse inmediatamente y
que tendrfan que esperar hasta la
session ordinaria para SD pago, en- ese
case, recomiendo que esas obligacio-
nes sean tomadas en- consideration Y
atendidas.
