mine the most practicable route also to secure expert estimates as to the value and extent ofcoal and mineral lands that may be tapped by the road.
 The thousands ofacres ofchoic- est and mature pine forests that may easily be converted into high grade lumber would be pene- trated by the proposed railway thus offering means oftransporta- tion that would place this valua- ble product on a ready market.
 There are many reasons why the building of the road would be paying investment. It is said that Mir. Campbell has been successful in promoting other en- terprlzes of this character and states that he already has capi talists interested in this proposi- tion and he is sanguine as to the successful continuation of this project providing an organiza- tion of a company can be affec- ted here who will subscribe suffi- cient funds to defray the neces- sary expenses of securing surveys, estimate of cost of construction as well as an approximate state ment of the amount of business that may be expected. 1t is ad- viseable that these surveys, esti- mates and a full report be ren- dered by reputable persons of good standing and well known to investors ot capital.

H. l.. Chilson of Winslow and E. S. Campbell of Chicago, who IS a brotherinlaw of MT. Chilson, were here recently for the pur- pose of discussing with the busi- ness men here the feasibility of organizing and incorporating themselves into a company whose purpose it will be to endeavor to enlist the investment of capital whereby the construction of a railway may be affected from Holbrook southward toward the White Mountains and Fort Apache.
 The matter was talked over at an informal meeting of the busi- men held here last Saturday even- ing. The proposals of the two above mentioned gentlemen met with the approval 1.-the majority of those present, but a definite decision was deferred for a few days pending further investiga- ton of the project in hand. If the company is organized, which now seems probable, tbe first steps in the new enterprise will be to have survey made to deter

Bowen's Shearing Ma chine to be Installed at and to Remain Perma- nentIy at Silver Creek.

Mir. Bowen who owns the shear ing machine that was recently shipped here from Mesa, states that it is his intention to set up the shearing machine at Silver Creek and be in readiness to shear during the balance of the season. We are informed that the ma chine will be kept there perma- nently, this being cheaper than to pay the freight charges on moving it about from place to place through the different shear ing districts. MT. Bowen says he is confident that he can con- vince the wool growers that it

will be to their interest to have their focks shorn by machine. From now on he proposes to hire only non. union shearers because of the threat of the union men to raise the price to ten cents per head which, as a matter ofcourse would correspondingly increase the cost of shearlng to the wool grower if he patronized the shear ing machine. MT. Bowen states that a week is sufficient time to enable the average hand shearer to become accustomed to hand ling the shearing blades. He will employ thirty men when the plant is in operation.

HOW TO GET RID OF MAD DOGS
Muzzling or All Dogs Would Stamp Out
Rabies-Real Value Of the Pasteur
Treatment.

n Washington special to the
News and Courier >evs: Rabies,
or hydrophobia. is known to be one
Of the most terrible diseases that al
flictS humanity. Wherever it is pre-
valcnt it causes constantly incrcas-
ing anxiety, sufferingg and death
to man and beast. not TO mention
the financial loss, and these penal
ties arc cNactcd Notwithstanding the
alienation offered BY the Pasteur
treatment
This is the statement made by
George II. Hart, V. NJ. D., assist
ant in pathology and bacteriology
in the department of agriculture
The question has recently been
brought directly to his attention
through the case Of DR.. Marsh. of
Brooklyn. who contracted hydro
phobia. suffered agonies while the
deadly commissions were on him and
finally, after undergoing untold
torturcs, succumbed to the disease.
THE enormous value Of the
Pasteur treatment" continues Mr..
Hart, "as a preventive agent is TIN
questioned. and. while it's effective
ness is extremely high when taken
in time, the actual figures from a
number of Pasteur Institutes in diff
fcrcnt parts Of the world show that
the failures have ranged from o.12
to T.5S per cent. 1t must be rcmcm-
bercd also that for number Of rca
sons a large proportion Of the per
Sonsand almost all the animals that
have received the virus through the
bites do not undergo the treatment.
All that is required to rid us Of
this scourgc is the muzzling Of all
dogs for a few years. This has
been amply proved by the expert
!cncc Of several European countries
where the disease has been stamped
out in this manner"
Until recently it was considered
that the dogs saliva became WRIT
lent only three days before the ap-
pearancc Of the symptoms Of ra-
bicS. According to some recent cx-
pcrimcnts it has been found that the
saliva may become virulcnt six or
seven Or eight days before the
symptoms develop. Therefore in
case the animal remains healthy for
ten days after it has bitten the per-
son or animal, no danger need be
apprchcndcd from that bite, even

DISPENSARY HEARING ENDS
Justice Fuller Indicates that Decision
Should be Rendered With All
Possible Haste.

Richmond, Va, May 27.-Argu-
mcnt was concluded tonight in the
South Carolina dispcnsarv case and
an early decision is expected by the
United States circuit court Of ap-
pcalS.
Chief Justice Fuller did not in
diCatc when 4 decision might be
expected. The Justices question as
to whether. State funds were tied
up by the reccivership proceedings
and other inquiries Of similar
character indicated that he felt that
the matter ought to be adjudicatcd
with all reasonable haste.
The chief contention Of the ap-
pellants in the argument was that
he suit was in effect a suit against
&hc State and that the commission
4Sppointcd by the legislature to wind
q the affairs Of the dispcnsary was
court and could not be en- joined
another court; no one save the
; ate had any interest III the busi-
ss to be liquidated and that the
tate was therefore an indispcn-
bic party to the proceedings.
If this argument holds good the
1it fails upon the principle that an
Individual can not sue State.
7. NJ. Mordccai completed his
rgumcnt for the appellant at the
1orning session and was followed
by A. S. Barnard representing ths
bane side.
1 The case was closed for the State
by B. l.. Abney Of South Caro-
lima.

The curative value of the mad
stone is still dcvoutly believed in bv
a great many people. Within the
last few years 4 maidstone was for
warded 70 the department OF agri-
culture. the owner stating that it
had prevented several cases OF ra
bics, and he was anxious for it to
be tried by the department. Some Of
these madstones, properly called
hair balls, are obtained from the
Stomachs Of various wild and do
mcstic animals. They arc in some
cases composed Of matted hair,
which the animal has licked from
its body and swallowed, but in the
ma jOrity Of cases they consist OF
masses Of vegetable fibre. such as
the lawns Of clover and beard Of
grain. which have gradually col
lcctcd over considerable period
of time and are formed into sphc-
rical shape by the contraction Of
the gastric walls. Gall stones, in
tcstinal calculi, and in fact any por-
ous stones may be used as mad
stones.
After person has been bitten
the maidstone is applied to the
wound. and it is believed that the
longer it adhcrcs the more certain
it is Of preventing the disease.
Whether it will stick or not depends
entirely on the amount Of hcmor-
rhagc or discharge from the wound.
/ Where this is profusc the blood in
filtratcs the mcshcS Of the mad
stone, soon coagulatcs or dries. and
tends to hold it III place, and it adj
heres for considerable time under
such circumstances. On the other
hand. where the wound is small and
the discharge slight, there is notll-
ing to hold the stone in place and it
immediately falls off. Certain of
these madstoncS have been held in
families for three or four genera
tons and are guarded as careful ,
~ as precious heirloom. It's spcci-
iic value against rabies is no great
cr than that Of piece Of blotting
paper applied in the same manner
The difference between human
beings and dogs suffering from
hydrophobia is that the former can
not bear the $ ight of water, while
dogs will often attempt to drink I'M
til the throat has become entirely
paralyzcd.
Mr.. Hart and other experts on
hydrophobia state that many per-
sons arc often mistaken in regard
to the color of a dogs mouth some
times believing that because til"
animals mouth is black it is sure
to be infected. This is erroneous.
for the reason that ir some cog
tions OF the country there Is Gog
disease known as "black tongue
There are half 4 dozen symptoms
by any one Of which the ordinary
person may gcncraly be able to tel
when a dog is suffering from rabies
and these are: CD Change in dis
position; (2) alteration Of voice
CD inability to swallow; CD leav-
ing home and returning home in an
exhausted and elnaciatcG condition
| (5) paralysis Of the jaw; CO. swal.
lowing abnormal substances, such
as small sticks, stones, etc.
TO protect persons from the ter
rorS of hydrophobia Mr.. Hart say
there is only one certain way. and
that is to muzzlc the dogs before
the damage is done and keep them
muzzlcd.

RAGE TRACK TEST CASE.

As with most public matters, there are two distinct viewpoints from which the new race-track gambling law in New York Is considered To the gover- nor and his forces the bills recently passed mean a strict enforcement of the state constitution which, they believe, is essential to the continuance of a democratic government, irrespective of whether gambling in the abstract Is right or wrong; to the bookmakers and race-track devotees there comes the one thought that the legislature has imperiled, perhaps made profltless, what is to them a business
 Just as the officers of the law are looking about them to see that the new law is enforced with that strictness that the dignity of the state demands, the horsemen have been seeking every means to test 1t and If possible, to make 1t intellectual Certain dispatches have told how the race-track men have raised fund of million dollars and have retained the services of twelve lawyers to discover some means to 'le- gally' dodge the new Agnew- Hart law It is said that the situation Is critical Already two prominent horse-owners have decided to ship their string of an imals elsewhere because they foresee that the new law means the death of the sport in New York and vicinity; and others are expected to follow shortly.
 Again the race-track men announced that they would have three bookmakers at the Gravesond track purposely that they might be arrested and that tests be made of the law. But later reports said that the district attorney would
