New ZeaIand's White Island.

White Island derives its name from
the clouds of white steam in which it
appears TO be continually enveloped.
Its area is only 600 acres, and its
height about $50 feet above the sea
1evel.
In form and color il is like re-
posing camel, while it's interior with
its gray, weather beaten, almost per-
pendicular cliffs, recalls the Coliseum
at Rome. Overhanging the southern
landing place stands a column of rock
closely resembling a sentinel, which
has been dedicated to the memory OF
Captain Cook. The water of the is
land is of a pale green hue, and any
thing dipped into ii becomes of a red
brick color. The fumes of sulphur
are always plainly perceptible.
On a fine moonlight night Won
derful sight is afforded TO any one
who will sit in an open boat in one OF
the lakes of the island. Covering an
area of fifty acres is an immense cal
dron, kissing and snorting and send
ing forth volumes of poisonous steam,
while all chances of egress appear to
be denied by the steep, silent and
gloomy cliffs.-British Australian

Are Londoners Being Poisoned?

Though we may hear Of serious &C.
cidents. the fast remains that millions
OF cubic feet OF poisonous gas are an'
nually being distributed in the air OF
London. And at least ten per cent,
and probably more. Of this gas con-

J. .. n..sy Sue. s.... s..

j. b. Manly. former well known
resident of La Junta. has brought
suit in the federal court in Pueblo
against the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fee for damages because Of
the alleged negligence of the rail-
road company.in failing to furnish
cars for shipment of sheep.
Manly alleges that on july Z.
1906. he applied to the Santa Fe for
rate on sheep from Roswell. n.
NJ, to Omaha. Neb.. and was told
it would cost sl25.l5 per car for
thirty cars. which ne ordered. the
rate to become effective October 20.
1906.
MANLY alleges that on October
18th the company notified him that
the rate would not be effective until
November 4th. Although the COM
pany had contracted to have the cars
ready October 10Th. Manly alleges
that they were not delivered until
ten days later. and were used lnean-
while for other purposes.
The sheep were without water or
feed during that time Manly charges
and shrunk in weight 60. 600 pounds.
In addition he paid out $500 for
their care and when he turned them
over to the buyer received much less
than the contract price. because of
the bad condition of the sheep, due
to the neglect of the railroad in pro-
viding cars at the time agreed upon.
In all Manly wants to collect s5,l70
from the Santa Fe.

CRY COUNCIL porpouaaI.
Aldermen Transact Much Busine..
and Don't Go Home TIL Morning.

The city council INDUCED in a pro-
longed spasm last Monday night and
had so much municipal business to
consider that it was past the mid
night hour before an adjournment
was taken. Hizzoner Mayor Barr
presided at the municipal gabfest
and all of the aldermen were finally
among those present. including the
city attorney and the dog ordinance.
Under the head of communica.
tions the city clerk read a shor:
epistle from the Dodge Manufactur-
ing Company. of Denver. asking for
information as to whether the city
council was interested in supplying
La Junta with good pure water for
domestic purposes, and if they were
would probably be interested in
knowing that the Dodge Manufac-
turing Company was furnishing the
Eureka Water Softner at a very
moderate price with capacity of
furnishing 200 gallons or q, 900 gal.
Ions per hour They claim that they
can take any kind of water with any
amount Of impurty and by simple
automatic process transform it into
pure water. The expense of purify
ing water varies from five-tenths Of
a cent per thousand gallons to six
and ninety-nine one hundredth cents
per thousand gallons. according to
the impurity and chemical compo-
sition of the water. They further
cite the fact that you are probably
well aware that nothing will conduce
to the increase of population of a
town more than good pure water.
and everything else being equal the
town with the best water gets the
largest growth" The company sent
"a little leaflet. and will be glad to
send you our elaborate Red Book
if you will ask for it." The council
instructed the city clerk to order a
dozen copies of the "red book"
George H. Nichols presented pc
tition asking permission to shingle
his residence on the corner Of Cim-
arron avenue and Third street. which
is inside the FIRE limits. The petit
ton provoked vigorous discussion
of the numerous violations of the
fire ordinance during the past year.
Alderman Daimler was not in favor
Of discriminating against one citi-
zen and favoring another citing
the lumber sheds of tie McNeen
Lumber Company as double COM
pound fracture of the provisions Of
the fire ordinance, without a word
OF protest from the FIRE and police
committee or any other member Of
the city council. He moved that
the petition be granted. and it was
so ordered. Mr.. Daimler suggested
that It would be good idea to re
peal the ordinance defining the fire
limits = its provisions were never
complied with. The council. how
