stalled for two days at this little cluster of buildings in the middle of the desert where adequate supplies could not be obtained for so large a crowd. Indio is in the Salton sea dis trict and several hundred feet below the level of the sea The heat was intense and. according to reports from passengers on the trains, the suffer- ing was considerable. alt,rough the railroad people did all in their power to alleviate 1t.
 Trains which left Los Angeles later than Sunday night were stalled at Indio on account of the severe wash outs between that place and Yuma. At first the passengers were fed from the company's hotel but even under the most suspicious conditions it is difficult to get adequate accommoda- tions in the town and with thOus- and hungry people waiting to be fed the stores soon gave out.
 Then passengers were given checks on the dining car and everybody ate there as long as the supplies lasted When they gave out they went hun gry.
 One of the most vivid descriptions of the scenes at Indio was furnished by Dr. Francis II. Redewill, who was a passenger on one of the trains.
 'I happened to be the only physi clan on my train" he said last night, and I was kept constantly busy at tending the sick. Three passengers became so i'll they were sent back to Los Angeles. where they could be better cared for than on d day coach. Some of the passengers went a day without eating and that with the in tense heat contributed to the illness aboard.
 There were many amusing incl dents also. Indio is dry-very dry. It was fifty-mile walk to the nearest saloon, yet there was serious talk among the male passengers of organ izing an expedition for the relief of the thirsty and walking that distance. Many of them came to me~and de- manded prescriptions. They had been bitten by scorpions and other venom ous insects and had toshave whiskey. The best I could do for them was to supply ammonia"
 Among those who came in on the belated train were Dr. John w. FOss and H. F. Cleaveland. Dr. Foss was philosophic about his experience and did not appear to have suffered for lack of proper nourishment He did admit that it was warm in Indio.
 The procession of six passenger trains got into Maricopa between six and nine o'clock last night and was met by a train from Phoenix of two coaches and two baggage cars and Pullman. The mail was not brought up, but was left in Maricopa over night for distribution. It will come up

on the early train today all ready to be delivered.
 There are probably few spots in the country where two days could be spent less comfortably than in Indio. Those who have been there know. Three of the westbound trains were held up at Yuma and those who were camping out at Indio with their throats parched were envious when they heard of it from the train men. One passenger was heard to remark to another. q would rather spend a year in Yuma than two days in this hole" The other aptly retorted. I'll bet you have spent d year in Yuma.e
 The worst washouts of the road were near Imperial Junction and there were lesser ones east of Yuma. The ground is soggy in wet weather, mak- ing it difficult to maintain the Foad- bed in proper shape. According to Perry Williams of Maricopa it is the worst washout since 1891.
 Superintendent C. NJ. Scott of the local office went to Maricopa and re- turned with the weary tourists. IIe said that all had been done to make their enforced stay at Indio tolerable that could be done. 'I don't think they had such hard time," he said: "We fed a thousand passengers at our own expense. We even provided amusement for them by letting them fish out of the car windows over the Salton sea with bent pins and strings.

A train load of 175 weary and de- jected passengers, who had been held up for from 36 to 4S hours at Indio and some of whom had gone without food and places to sleep, arrived in Phoenix from Maricopa at 1O:3O last night It was the first train to reach this city from the west over the Southern Pacific in three days and for the first time in three days, Phoeni clans will find mail from coast cities at their breakfast tables.

The Pure Food Law.

Secretary Wilson says, Zone Of the
objects Of the law is to inform the
consumer Of the presence Of certain
harmful drugs in medicines" The
law requires that the amount Of chlo-
roform, opium, morphine, and other
habit forming drugs be stated on the
label OF each bottle. The manufac-
turers Of Chamberlains cough remedy
have always claimed that their RENE.
dy did not contain any OF these drugs,
and the truth Of this claim is now
fully proven, as no mention Of them
is made on the label. This remedy Is
not only one Of the safest, but one Of
the best in use for coughs and colds.

the police department, fled report
OF the arrests and other details Of the
work of the department for the year
1908, and save for these few matters
the board took no action
The fact that the police commits
sioners did not appoint a chief al
their meeting last night came as
surprise to those most interested
and to many who had understood
that the appointment was to have
been at last nights session. II was
announced that this matter would BE-
taken up at the next meeting, on the
first Tuesday night in February.
1t was generally understood ycster-
day that the acting chief, Mr.. Oberg
was to receive the appointment last
night, and there we're many Of his
friends who were averring that al
least two of the commissioners had
announced their intention to make
him chief OF the department., Some
