HoibroOk May Have Railroad

A new railway from Holbrook south to Fort Apache, penetrating the beautiful and wild White mountain country is proposed and there is every indication that the scheme will go through. The rail- road if built will tap a country with almost inexhaustible forests and coal deposits and would be a paying proposition from the start. Those who are pushing the proposi- tion with this view are H. L. Chil son, of Winslow, and k. s. Camp bell, of Chicago. brother-in-law of Mir. Chilson. The gentlemen were in Hoblrook a few days ago discussing the feasibility of the project with local business men. Such a railroad has long been need- ed, and the suggestion met with in- stant favor from the business men who are making further investiga- tions with a view to having a sur vey started. Mir. Campbell has been especially successful in pro- noting other similar enterprises.

a Freak Nature

What local physicians state is one of the most remarkable freaks ever known wera twins born to Mrs. Antonio Herrera of Silver Bell. last week The twins were born grown together Their bodies were joined breast to breast, but their hands and feet and heads were normal.
 Both of the twins were dead when they were born and the shock of the operation that was necessis- tated resulted in the death of the mother also.
 Physicians state that similar freaks have been known in several previous instances. but it is seldom that the twins have lived. and in most instances they were born dead
 The famous Siamese twins were an example of the fact that it is possible for twins born grown to- gether to live. These twins were born at Bangesau. Siam. in 1911 and lived to be 6} years old. One passed away within an hour of the other. They were , feet two inch es in height when they had attained their growth. They could walk run and swim.
 It was stated today that the bod ies of the Herrera twins would be preserved and will probably be giy- en to some scientific institution. Tucson Citizen.

LBy Telegraph to The Tribune. J

pectations, Harry x. Thaw's attorney, Charles

SOME BRYAN OMISSIONS.
Facts about Oklahoma Guarantee
Lac Which Aren't Mentioned.


Guthrie, Okla, Sept. 12.-There are some
tee law that W. J. Bryan doesn't refer to in his
campaign boosts of the oklahoma idea
For instance a statement recently pre-
pared by Governor c. n. Haskell, quoting fig
ures to show that the deposits in Okla ahoma
guarantee banks had increased 459,22 To
since the law went into effect February 4 OF
this year Mr. Bryan comments gloatingly upon
the fact as proving that the people like the
deposit guarantee plan.
What Mr. Bryan doesn't dwell upon however,
is the fact that of the increase in deposits in
the state guarantee banks So 1000 was de-
posted by the state officials and is state school
funds Under the enabling act Congress set
aside S5.0O0,000 of the proceeds of the lan.i
sales for the benefit of the Oklahoma schools.
OF this amount Oklahoma had withdrawn
81, 100000 leaving S3.5OO.OOO in the United
States Treasury. When the guarantee plan
went into operation the state officials withdrew
the balance S3,50O.OOO. from the United States
Treasury and deposited it in the state banks.
That accounts for most of the increase in de-
posits" In Oklahoma state banks.
Another feature of the guarantee plan, it
is working in Oklahoma, has not been dwet
upon by Mr. Bryan It is the fact that the
fund which is being held TO guarantee losses by
bank failures is deposited in some bank or banks
of the state, and the bankers who getting
the use of the money are not required TO pay
interest upon ii to the state. This furnishes a
snug sum upon which some one may speculate
without any outlay of interest if he should So
