 OF TRANSMISSION LINE
What IS Being Done in Other Depart rnents of the Work at Roosevelt.

Roosevelt. April l3.--(Speciai Core
 spondence of The Republican.)- )-Wed
 nesday evening the water-Wheel shaft which transmits power to the gener- ator at the power plant broke. This shaft has operated steady for two years. The break was probably due to specialization of the steel. A new shaft was ordered in the rough by wire of the Llewellyn Iron Works of Los Angeles and while this was being hammered out the blue prints wero made and despatched 10 Fish Creek by a-special messenger on fleet horse. where the plans were looked over by A Il. Denrick and sent on the morn- ing mail for Los Angeles. IL is eX- pected that the new wheei will arrive on Friday or Saturday and d couple of days later it will furnish power In the meantime the new machinery in the power house is to be tested and If the water wheel that furnishes power to this machinery works satisfactorily the new machinery will furnish power until the repairs are made on the small machinery. The power being off all the work has been shut down. At the cement mill the time will be well spent in making much needed repairs. Many are taking advantage of this shut down to view the fleet at San Diego as it is probable that worK cannot be resumed for several days yet.
 The transformer house IS building rapidly and will be one of the finest buildings in the territory. Made of red sandstone pointed wItn black the effect is quite artistic. There will be no steel in this building osI-y the rein forced concrete. The building will be rushed as all the machinery for the transformer house has already arri\ed at Mesa.

HoMING PIGEONS LET LOOSE
Fifteen Birds Are Released In Omaha

Fifteen homing pigeons were liberated
from a crate at the Wells-Fargo Express
eompany's office at Union station Satur-
day morning at 5 o'clock. They rose into
the air. circled around and then started
swiftly toward the east and disappeared
scross the Missouri river.
The birds were the property Of L. schel-

W~ells-Fargo agent in Omaha several days
ago giving Instructions that the birds

The crate arrived on the Chicago, Great
Western railroad Friday morning.
There was much speculation among those
who saw the living flying machines rise
on strong, sure pinions regarding the time
required for them 10 make the trip from
Omaha TO st, Charles. The distance by
rail is about 475 miles. 81. Charles being a
station thirty-one miles east Of Chicago on
the Great Western railroad. One man who
spoke with an air Of authority declared
that the pigeons would be In 81. Charles IN

point to = change In the method
OF determining the competitions. II ia rep
resented that the attendance will be 30
large as to necessitate from two to three
weeks shooting, Of which ten days will be
devoted to national matches alone. Many
shooters are unable to take this time to-
Eether with that necessary for home prac-
tice and competitors for places on the team.
The question Of expense Is also entering
largely into the calculations of the state
authorities. Accordingly the project Of
dividing the country into districts and hav-
ing district contracts. instead OF one great
meeting, is likely to be the result. The
winning teams will then be brought to-
sether at a central point and a national
competition held. Under this plan the

chance TO secure a prize in the big competi.

the time consumed would be shortened.

be noted he did not get further along than

WHAT SHE GRAVES.

While there may be now and then
married women whose desires are sat
isfied if they have all the clothes they
want and modest sum of spending
money, it is more then likely that
the lives of great many are unhappy
and cheerless for lack of love and ap-
probation for the humdrum work OF
life which so many perform uncom-
plainingly. When woman goes as q
bride to the marriage altar she dedi-
Gates her life to the h1oni"ess and
welfare of her husband in 4 far more
complete and unrocc!Tcd manner thar
he does to her. This the "onsi si!erate
husband will keep in mind. He has
interests which prc:.:arly take him
, abroad among his fellows. Hers keep
her much at home This he should
try to make bright and attractive not
only with PAINT and paper. but with
smiles, appreciation and rcn Iteration
In the vast majority of instances
homes are not unhappy because of 4
lack of clothes, furniture or ready mon
ey, but for lack of unselfishness and
sincere affection The greatest bless.
hgs of life are thus within reach OF
the poorest, yet are often unrealized
in the hines of the most wealthy.

PRACTICAL FORESTRY.

Among powerful agencies which are
taking up the matter of forest planting
and preservation in a practical and
effective manner is the Pennsylvania
railroad. The demand for lumber to
be used in the manufacture of freight
cars, bridges, stations, ETC., and for
telegraph poles and railroad ties has
become so great that this company, one
of the most extensive in the country,
has purchased farm lands, which are
used as nurseries for different varie-
ties of trees which are needed. The
company the past spring planted over
100000 trees, while it's total paintings
to date, including this years, aggre
gate 100000 trees. This years plant
ing included 100000 imported seed
lings, which were placed in the COM
pany's nursery at Morrisville, Pa.
When railroad companies, which are,
as rule, dominated by only the most
mercenary consideration, take such an
interest in the subject Of forestry, it
ought to be a thought provoker for
many a farmer who is quite likely
growing crops with Indifferent success
on land that during a term Of years
would give him as large or better
revenue per acre if set out to trees.

This is to give notice that the County
C Commissioners of Carroll county have

Better Than Police.


The first thing the victim Of a rob
berry should do, says Lincoln 1. Stef-
fens in the American Magazine, is to
telephone to the newspapers rather
than to the police. He says:
1.-THE police everywhere warn eitf-
zens not to let anybody but the police
know of such troubles. They say that
if the newspapers get hold of the news
they will publish it. This will frighten
away the thieves and prevent the po
lice from recovering the stolen prop
erty. This is only a police trick to
avoid criticism. They give to the press
all their successes; they suppress their
failures, and thus keep up the appear
ance of efficient service. AS matter
of fact, the first thing that the victim
Of robbery should do is to telephone
to the newspapers-all of them. Thai
would soon show what small pro
portion of the reported cases a de
tective bureau like that Of New York
detects, and it will make the police
work on your case"

Circular Storms.

Meteorologists are now agreed thai
what are called circular storms are not
circular in the proper sense of the
word. There is not merely flow OF
air round, but also conveyance to
ward central area There is also q
large upfiow over and near the central
area and also an outflow above and q
descent probably in the outskirts of the
storm area; hence the motion is sue
cessively complicated. 1t is also very
variable, as squalls and gusts of the
most violent character may alternate
with strong but less destructive winds
also in the cyclonic storms of the TEN
perate regions of the northern hemi
sphere the winds In the same quadrant
Of cyclonic storm and from the same
general direction differ largely In theil
meteorological character.

A ouAck GRASS WARNING.

A reader of a central Iowa paper in
which these notes appear regularly
contributes to it's column very timely
article touching the need of greater
precaution with a view to preventing
the spread of the quack grass pest
He points out the danger, previously
emphasized in these notes, of allowing
the grass to seed along highways,
fence rows and in vacant lots because
Of the possibility Of subsequent
spread Of the seed in the form of litter
or manure to gardens and farm lands
in the vicinity. He attributes the
rapid spread Of the grass in his own
and other localities to the careless way
in which hay is made of the roadside
grasses after the quack grass Is headed
out the same being used on the farms
Of the abutting landowners or sold and
fed out I'm other localities. He asserts
that the man who would set his barn
afire is q gentleman compared with
one who would knowingly sell him hay
containing quack grass seed. AS re-
suit Of ten years experience with the
pest he recommends summer fallow
ing of the land that Is infested with
the grass, with disking as often as
any of it shows head above ground,
deep plowing Of the land in the fall
and the growing of corn the next two
years, with the cleanest and most care
full cultivation possible. Even with
this method tufts Of the grass are like
ly to be found at the roots of the corn
in the fall Of the second year, when
they should be dug up by hand, root
and all, and burned. He estimates that
the value of land thoroughly infested
with quack grass is decreased one
half. The danger from the source in
dicated can hardly be overemphasized.
Every farmer should be keenly alive
to the situation
