obtained as flasmen. but may lack one
years experience in train service.
A Suggestion Made.
There was suggestion made at the
conference that the commission fur
nish the carriers respectively with the
formers source of information con.
corning all alleged violations alleged to
have been committed by them. There
was also a suggestion offered that as
the law does not prescribe qualifica-
tions for brakemen the commission
might construe the law so as TO allow
competent brakeman to perform the
duties of a flagman, though not hav-
ing had one years experience in train
service. .s-.
Commissioner Bowling makes the
following recommendations. which are
approved by the commission:
That the commission issue no state
ment in anywise relieving the carriers
from the duties imposed by the clear
intent of the law.
That the commission reissue its cir
cular of June ), 1907, continuing the
full train crew. and therein specify
certain classes of cases where the law
would probably apply. but in which
the commission would not be disposed
TO insist upon prosecutions. viz:
where in emergency cases train. aft
er it leaves a terminal with proper
crew, picks up one or more cars ell
route. the necessity for SO doing not
being known to the railroad officials
at the terminal when the train left,
whereby its number of cars is increas-
ed to the extent that another man
should be provided under the literal
terms of the law: where a flagman is
| suddenly incapacitated as his train is
about to leave the terminal. or en- route
and no reasonable opportunity exists
for supplying his place with train,
| man OF the statutory qualifications
where special. delayed or extra trains
are required to be run under excep
| tional and unforeseen circumstances
| and a crew of proper number is sup
Piled, but it is impracticable to secure
flagman of statutory qualifications.
Reports Confidential.
That the law be construed with spe'
cial reference to the qualifications re-
quired Of flagmen and the duties dis
| chargeable by brakemen and flagmen
That the commission treat all re
ports of violations as confidential. ane
not supply the carriers with the source
| of the commissions information con-
corning the same.
| That prosecutions already instituted
proceed to trial in the lower court, ant
that all other alleged violations be helG
in allegiance until it clearly appears the
offending carrier does not intend tc
obey the law, when prosecution:
should be begun for all violations by it

IT is CREATING A WON
DERFUL STIR HERE

People all over the town are talk
ing about the wonderful good Root
Juice is doing in this community, as
it has made many remarkable cures
during the past few months. A well
known lady who for social reasons
does not want her name published,
said: Il had been in poor health for
several years. The doctors gave me
medicine for catarrh of the stomach,
gastric ulcers, indigestion, dyspepsia
and stomach troubles generally, but
derived no benefit. My appetite was
variable-sometimes hungry as wolf.
then sickening at the mere thought of
food. was subject to dizzy spells
and sick headache. l was thin, weak,
respondent and nervous, and had to
take some kind of medicine all the
time on account of my badly consti-
pated condition. A lady friend told
me that she had suffered very much
as l did, but that Root Juice had COM
pletely cured her, SO l concluded to
try it, and before I had used the first
bottle l was rapidly improving in ev-
cry way. l continued taking the truly
great medicine about six weeks, and
il there is anything the matter with
me now l don't know it. T now enjoy
my food and digest it. l sleep we'll.
l am no longer constipated, weak or
nervous, and have plenty of flesh and
strength" Such good reports of the
great medicine are being heard all
over town. 1t is sold for one dollar a
bottle or three bottles for two dollars
and half. Those who are interested
can learn of many of the wonderful
things it is doing by going to A. G..

FOR MAN OF SMALL MEANS.

With land values rising in all parts
Of the country where the filling OF the
land can be done with any measure of
success, the problem which confronts
the man Of small means In the matter
Of getting a start and In the course of
q few years owning q piece OF land
which will give him q living Is one
which confronts an ever increasing
number Of people. A short time ago

eighty bushels per acre for the pre-
ceding i've years. Every other. year
he gives this land 4 coating Of manure.

which is a mile distant. The owner of
the land in giving some account Of his

mark that he fouad this more profita.

raised more weeds than they did po-
tatoes. One hundred hens were kept

being sold to the value Of $135. and
there were fried chicken and eggs

were kept, which produced seventeen
pigs. thirteen Of the pigs and the two
old sows being sold in November for
$146 One hundred swarms of bees
produced honey. which sold for $40
while the family consumed during the

STREET CAR HELD UP
 BY LONE H|GHWAYMAN

Roger Torpey, conductor on the c and A. street car run, after feeling the impress of cold steel upon his neck and then gazing down the muz' gle of an ominous appearing six shooter that was leveled upon him. gave over to the threatening hign' wayman what money he had on his person, about $15. and gold watch.
 This sensational incident. the first in the history of the local traction company, occurred last night at 10: f5 o'clock at the railroad crossing near est the c. and A.. while the car vas coming fin. Torpey. as is usual. left his ear to turn the derailer at the crossing. After walking few yards a shadowy form emerged from be. hind a telephone post and before Torpey knew what was up gun was pointed at him.
 Just come with me about fifty feet down the track" said the highway. man. And turning to Motorman Hig, gins he advised him to remain on the car or have daylight pumped into him.
 Torpey walked away with the high. wayman and when the latter indi cated that he should stop. the hold up man, toying with his gun, rubbed it against Torpey's neck and face evidently to impress him with the fact that what he carried was a real instrument of death and not a play thing. Then. taking the conductors cap from his head, the highwayman had him put all this money in the cap and after that Torpey's gold watch. As there was no money or the car, he had mace complete cleanup. Leaving the conductor alone in the gloom. the highwayman turned of and walked leisurely away.
 Higgins and Torpey came on ir with their car and reported the rob bery to the local police and the Pir tlevilie authorities. At the lattel place. three suspects have been ar rested. Forpey must depend largei, upon the sound of the highwayman'i voice to identify him at all, as 1t wa, dark and the mans features were not distinct He was an American.

Wrong es,ims,. of Success.

Dr. Eliot, lately president of Harv- ard university, said recently at a re.
 ception in New York: My career ap
 pears to strike considerable number
 of people as a successful one. People
 congratulate me on what they call my
 success. But my career has certainly not been successful in what is consid-
 cred 10 be the American idea of sue
 cess in pecuniary way. It is sue. cess in terms of service-seryice to the community. Now. does not this refute the common opinion that the American estimate of success is a pc cuniary one?" Dr. Eliot then related an incident in one of his travels by boat when the vessels officers came to him and said: We officers want tc ask you a question. We know you are a smart man. We want to know why being a smart man, you are not rich?' Dr. Eliot did not repeat his reply, but concluded his remarks on the subject by saying: The real American esti mate of success in the world is sery iceableness and not wealth"

MEXICAN FAMILY AT
 DETENTION CAMP

On account of the increase in work at the Tucson immigration sta tion, Acting Chief Inspector J. j. Murphy has been compelled to trans fer another inspector to that city temporarily. w. H. Bishop, inspector at Bowie, is now at the Tucson sta. ton assisting in the work. a great deal of which is confined to prepara' tions for the beginning of the next fiscal year. July 1. The ordinary routine of work is also increased by the fact that a number of prisoners have been added to the list during the past few days.

Swearing to Validity of an Excuse.

Kissing the book seems to be on the point of being consigned to well-de- served oblivion. and England might easily take pattern by the form of oath that obtains in the Channel is lands. The i2 rectors are ex-officio members of the States of Jersey, and in common with other constituent ele- ments of the same body they may ire quently be seen with the uplifted hand swearing to the validity of the excuse that another member is absent through illness. The custom has been handed down from a Norman ancestry that ever recognized the sacred final ity of putting a man on his oath, and emphasizes most strikingly the par allei values of the right hand and of a mans plighted word.

RIDES OM FIRST TRAIN
 ON NEW RAILROAD

F.. G. Myers. travelling man of Dallas. Texas. by all means should have been handed ticket to Court.
 land on a Aver platter this morning by Ticket ent Bottorf. But do you think "Botty." as he is affectionately
 known in polite circles. would go the
 silver platter route with Mir. Myers?
 Hardly. He just ripped on ticket
 labeled Courtland and in the most
 matter of fact manner possible said.
 'one-eighty. please
 You see. Myers was the first man
 to buy a ticket on the first regular.
 irregular train out of Douglas to the new camp at the other end. past Cal iente. McNeal and those other bud ding towns. According to all ac- cepted ideas. especially of story wri-
 tsrs. Myers should have been present ed with oeticket. he being. as afore-
 said, the hrst man to buy a ticket on
 the first train. From a fiction stand
 point he should have been fiat
 broke" and then he should have
 gone to the agent with a large blum
 and demanded ticket. hoping. after displaying a hole in his right hand pocket. that some one would volun. teer to lend him the dollar-eighty.
 Just after getting the ticket and starting his blum would have been the agents cue to make neat lit
 tie speech telling him of his being
 the purchaser of the first ticket, and of the well established custom of the railroad always to present the first man with the first ticket. That's the way it should have been, but the railroads are so unromantic. Bottort demanded sl.S0 and Myers. who had
 a fat swad, paid it.
 So much for the first ticket sold. The train consisted of a chair car and fiat car. No caboose or obser vation car was run the first day
 neither win there be the second oi
 third day. This train is really trifie irregular at present though its time card was announced. It really will have no popular status until the ! inaugural train of June 27 shall bs run.
 Thirty-five or forty passengers
 were aboard the train on its initia l run.

EMPALME SHOPS OF
 $. P. ABOUT READY

In formation has been received that the big general shops of the Southern Pacific, which are being erected at Empalme at cost of ap- proximately s1,50o.000, are nearly completed.
 The shop buildings are being built of concrete and steel and will be ab- solutely fireproof. The shops will be among the largest and most modern along the Pacific coast.
 An idea of the magnitude of these shops may be gieaned from the fact that fbey are more than twice as large as the Southern Pacific shops in Tucson
 The Southern Pacific shops there have a capacity for handling from g to 1o locomotives while the new shops at Empalme will be able to take care of 100 locomotives.
 They are equipped with sufficient machinery to make all repairs and to completely overhaul all engines used on the Southern Pacific lines in Mexico. The old shops at Guaymas nave been discontinued and all re pair work is now being done at Elm apime, even though all of the build ings are not entirely completed
 Tn addition to the general shops al Empaime, the Southern Pacific has branch shops at Culiacan. and at Ma zatlan. However, buildings in which these latter shops are located ars only temporary structures as 1t hs: not been fully decided whether they will be located permanently in these cities or not The location of the per rnanent division shops will depend on traf5c conditions.
