Excursion to Salt Lake.

The Denver and Rio Grande
Railroad Sixth Annual Excursion
to Salt Lake City, Utah. Aug l1th,
at very low rates. Salt Lake is a
most quaint and picturesque place
and well worth the journey. It's
Norman Temple, Tabernacle, Tith-
ing Office and church institutions !;
it's hot sulphur springs within the
city limits and it's Great Salt Lake
-deader and denser than the
Dead Sea in Palestine-are but a
few features of Salt Lake City's
countless attractions. There are
parks, drives, canons and beautiful
outlying mountain and lake resorts.
Imagine, if you can, a bath in
salt water a mile above sea level
and in water in which the human
body cannot sink. Call on local
agent for futher information.

Antonito's Marshal Murdered.


Rafael Pena. marshal of Anto-
nito, was shot and fatally injured
last night about eleven o'clock as
he was going to his home after
completing his duties for the day.
The assassin lay in hiding behind
Il board fence a few yards from
Peua's house and when the mar
shal came along, took three shots
in rapid succession at him, one
taking effect in the back and
penetrating the bowels. Romulo
Atencio was arrested for, the crime,
having been tracked from the
scene of the shooting to his home,
but processes his innocence and
claims to be able to prove an alibi
At his preliminary hearing to-
day he waived examination and
was bound over to the next term
of the district court. AS we 90 to
press the report is received that
Marshal Pena has died.
The little baby boy of Mr.. and
Mrs. Ed. Haley, who has been so

where an automobile was in wait

Haley is brother of Mrs. Walter
w. Seyfer at whose home his wife
and baby have been visiting for a
couple of weeks We express the
sentiment of an ANXIOUS and solic-
itous community in hoping that
even yet the clouds may break and
this little life be spared to brighten
the future of his fond parents.
The Home Lumber, Coal and
Grain Co. this week received three
cars of the finest lumber ever
brought into the valley, it being
the very best grade of Oregon fir
and Oregon spruce. The large
shipment is entirely composed of
flooring, siding. sealing and finish,
and is a sight to bring joy to the
hearts of the carpenter and home
builder, especially so when the
exceptionally low prices the com
pany will ask for their lumber are
quoted. 1t is all seasoned, clear
as bell and straight as an arrow.
No finer lumber was ever produced
and lucky indeed is the man who
gets house built of it.

EDISON'S CONDITION CRAVE
A SECOED OPERATION NECESSARY,
THIS TINE on THE MASTOID.

Seat Of Old wound Had Become Infected
From the Abscess Opened Last sunday
-Four Surgeons Issue q Bulletin Saying
That the Patients Recovery Is Probable.
The condition Of Thomas A. Edison. who
was taken from his homo in Orange. N. j.,
last Sunday night to the Manhattan Eye
and Ear Hospital. has become grave.
though his physicians say that his recovery
is probable.
Mr.. Edison was operated on last Sunday
to open an abscess OF the middle ear. and
second operation has been necessary
as a consequence Of the first. Mr.. Edison
had been operated on three years before
for an abscess in the left mastoid process
and u was spprehended when the new
abscSss was opened that complications
might arise in the seat Of the old trouble.
That is what happened: The patient do
veloped a high temperature yesterday and
an infection Of the mastoid was suspected
Drs. James F. McKernon and w. Gill Wylie
were called in in consultation and it was
decided that the mastoid must be reentered
and cleaned out. The operation, like the
one Of Sunday, was performed by DR.. Arthur
d. Buel, who was assisted by DIR. John X.
Page. DR.. John H. Bradshaw OF Orange.
Mr.. Edison's family physician, was present.
A bulletin signed by the four surgeons
and issued last night says:
"A second operation was performed on
Mr.. Edison this afternoon owing to the fact
that the infection has extended back into
the old mastoid wound. He was seen in
consultation by DR.. J. +. McKernon and
Or. Gill Wylie Of New York and DR.. Brad
shaw OF Orange. While Mr.. Edison's con-
dition is grave it Is probable that he will
recover"
Mr.. Edison celebrated his sixty-first
birthday two weeks ago. Recently he has
been in III health, suffering from a chronic
kidney complaint, il was said
Mr.. Edison has been very deaf for many
years. last week an abscess in the middle
ear began to cause him intense pain
and he went to tho hospital, accompanied
by bis wife, a son and a daughter, who have
taken rooms there. DR.. Duel was reluctant
to discuss the case last night further than
he had expressed himself with the other
surgeons in the bulletin. Mr. Edison's con-
dition was undoubtedly grave, he said, but
there was an excellent chance that he would
pull through.

Why QUEBEC BRIDGE FELL.
Structure Too BIg for standard Formula
OO Weight and strain.

Oh NehBnt anu eVTAu.
OTTAWA. Ont Feb. 27.-The report Of
the Royal Commission appointed to in
vestigate the collapse Of the Quebec bridge
has been presented to the Minister Of Rail-
ways. and after consideration by the Cabi-
net will be laid before Parliament next
week. 1t is understood that the findings
are that the collapse was due not TO any
defect in material or the constTtlc ion but
to a defect in the design,
In an undertaking greater than any
ever before attempted in bridge construc-
ton, il appears that he engineers failed
to recognize that the usual working formulas
as to weight and strain were not applicable
without considerable mod fication. The
weight of the great middle span was too
great for the supporting members. hence
the collapse.
The chief engineer Of the Phonix Bridge
Company was primarily responsible. but
his design was approved by Mr.. Cooper.
consulting engineer Of the Quebec Bridge
Company both being recognized as authori-
ties on this continent on bridge construc-
ton. The design was further approved
by the Government
That the defects Of the design can be rem
edied and the bridge finally constructed is
now the opinion Of the engineers
