Cost of Railroad Ties.

The railroads of this country are each year calling for more crossties, and they are rapidly shrinking in number and increasing in cost. The total number of ties purchased in 1907 was 153, ,699, ,62O, an increase of 50, S65, ,578 over 1906. The total cost of the crossties purchased in 1907 was SIS, ,95S, 1895, au average of 5l cents a tie. The total cost of the crossties purchased in 1906 was S4S, ,Sl9, ,l24, an average of 47 cents d tie. The ip- crease in total cost was, therefore, $50, l39 ,571, or 6l.7 per cent. For 1907 the largest average cost, 59 cents, was reported for redwood ties. Many experiments have been made with metal ties, with a view of finding a substitute for wood, but nothing sat istactOry has yet been produced. Several of the leading roads have large tracts of trees growing, and may in dozen years or more be able to supply their own wants. Growing trees on railroad lands seems to be the most practical way to provide for the future.-Utica Press.

ARREST VAS A SURPRISE.
Test Will be Made of New Measure
 Against Card Playing.

Martin Costello, millionaire land owner, mine owner, old timer in the southwest, and credited with having more ready cash than any other citi- zen of Cochise county, was in Bisbee looking after his various interests, says a Bisbee dispatch. In addition to the distinction named above, Cos tello has recently added that of hav- ing been among those were rounded up at Tombstone in the first raid fol lowing the recent enactment of the anti-gambling law.
 Costello talked interestingly con- corning his unusual experience. q knew nothing of the new anti-gam- bling law'' he said. 'I was as sur prised when the officers showed up, as any tenderfoot at his first badger fight, with him doing first honors- We had just finished eating, and as it was too early to go to bed-about 7 o'clock-some one suggested that we have game of solo. The game started with myself, Otto Kaiser, of Los Angeles, and Al Miller, of Tue son.
 "We were in Mayor Wentworth's saloon at the time. The mayor was arrested along with the rest of us, but was not, as was reported, partici- pating in the game. I was leaning back comfortably, looking at hand so good that it was a shame to hold it, and ruminating on the liberties and comforts of the average Ari- zonan when the shock came. I had been in Los Angeles, and knew nothing of the law, and thought the arrest was a practical joke. It did not take me long to learn my mis- take"
 Costello stated that they were play ing merely for the pleasure of the game, that there were no stakes up, and that they had no drinks during the game. As interpreted by the district attorney. no card or dice game is allowed under the new law in any place where booze is sold.
 II suppose we will take the case to the highest court, and see what the result will be. I am not worrying. At the worst it can mean only a small fne," said Costello. He was subjected to many queries regarding the circumstances of his arrest, sev- eraI of his friends inquiring in mock apviafv tO mhatbar ar not he ha d any difficulty in making bond.

An Opini-n on the New Arizona Anti.
 Gambling Law.

"Women playing cards for a prize at clubhouse are as much amenable to the anti-gambling act as men play ing poker in club for money or drinks"
 This is the opinion of District At torney Williams of Cochise county.
 Ever since the law put in effect there has been speculation as to the construction that the district attorney would place upon this phase. His in- terview effectually dispells all doubts whatever. He will act up to the letter regardless of persons or conditions in life.
 "Will this sweeping law be applica- ble to card playing in incorporated clubs?'
 "Assuredly it will, replied he. If, however, you or any other man or woman chooses to invite d party of your friends to gather at your house to play cards for a prize, neither the guests or yourself can be touched so 1OuR do lnClC lo hO DNl oOAldA AOoo AOA them involved. They might play stud poker for a prize if they so wished.
 "Raffies, whether for a church, a lodge or for private benefit, will come under the law, and those engag- ing in or promoting them will be as amenable to the law as if they were playing poker. Pool games, bowling, golf, lawn tennis, or any other game of skill in which payment of certain fee for playing is involved can be considered gambling unless each participant bears their portion of the expense of the games. ~hat is my opinion. Say for instance that two men are playing golf and the cost is 50 cents round the course, the only way they can evade the letter of the law is to divide the cost evenly.
 eff a cup or other trophy is offered for contest of skill, we will say a billiard game or bowling contest, so long as no entrance fee is demanded, and the element of chance of per sonal loss is kept out, I cannot see how it could be construed as gambling. Say however, that you offer trophy yourself and then enter the competi- tion for it, there is an element of personal loss, and you are liable uu- der the law. If game of golf is to be played for trophy and your en- trance fee is used to defray the cost Of the tronhv for the match that would be gambling under the statute strictly construed.
 "That is the opinion I hold of the law. It may be that I am wrong. Various courts throughout the coun- try place different construction upon what constitutes gambling. It is probable that the law will be tested soou."

Stiff Neck.

Stiff neck is caused by rheumatism of the muscles of the neck. It is usually confined to one side, or to the back ot the neck and one side. While it is often quite painful, quick relief may be had by applying Chamberlain $ Liniment. Not one case of rheuma- tlsm in ten requires internal treat ment. When there is no fever and no swelling as in muscular and chronic rheumatism, Cha mberlain's Liniment will accomplish more than any inter nal treatment For sale by all drug gists.

SITE Of GOULD DEPOT
ASSUMES NEW ASPECT
Denver & Rio Grande Passenger
Terminal Soon to Be a
Reality.

The site Of the new Denver & Rio
terminal at the bottom Of Third South
street is now beginning TO assume 4
very different aspect, A force of nearly
100 is now at work lcvcling off the
grounds and laying the tracks for the
accommodation Of the trains. In fact,
although the now structure will moi be
completed by that time, il is the design
of the officials Of the Rio Graudc to
deliver all of the people coming into
the city for the G. A. K. cncampment
next August TO tho new station instead
of the old one on West Second South
street
BY the time of the cucampmcnt it is
hoped that the sidewalks and pave
ments around the depot yards will be
completed and under these conditions
il viii be seen that it will be Il great
deal easier to accommodate the crowds
al the new station, even If il is not
completely finished.
Representatives Of the Eilenbergcr
Construction company of Chicago, TO
whom was awarded the general contract
for the erection of the new station, are
now on the ground supervising the as
sembling Of the material and getting
things into shape for active construc-
tion work a carload of steel is now
on the way 10 this city and it is ex.
pected that a carload each of both

have already been built and those which
