The Arizona Copper company is
grading a new road bed for the Coro-
nado railroad for a distance of more
than mile below Longfellow. The
new grade will straighten the curves
and also give a better grade. In
some places it will be from four to
six feet higher than the present
trackway. AS this road accommo-
dates practically nothing but heavy
traffic it is necessary to keep the
roadbed in perfect condition. The
road is equipped with heavy steel
and in every particular compares
with the main lines of the larger
railroads. 1t is seldom the case that
an accident occurs as a result of the
condition of the track. Trains are
running on this road nearly every
hour in the day and it has an extra
ordinary good record as far as wrecks
are concerned.

held last Friday evening the council
passed an order that after the first

suit of petition which was recently
filed with the council. The petition
contained a number of signatures.
1t is understood that counter petit
ton is in circulation and it is also
being signed freely.

The work of laying pipe on the new
Shannon line was interrupted few
days last week on account of con-
troversy between the company and
Dell M. Potter. Potter claimed the
right to the ground and objected to
the water line being laid, while the
Shannon claimed that they were on
the right-of-way of the Clifton North
ern r. T.. Later Mr.. Potter insisted
that this work should not proceed
and by the aid of British bull dog
succeeded in driving the men from
the work. The arrest of Mr.. Potter
followed and the case was referred to
the next grand jury. Fortunately
nobody was injured and the work is
now going along as rapidly as pOss-

This caused change in the program
and the contract was later awarded
to Harry Westlake, who will hustle

Chinaman Shot al NardeIIi Camp.

The first shooting on the Shannon
railroad occurred last Thursday morn
ing at the Nardelli camp, below Met
calf, when Antonio Nardelli shot and
killed Lem King, the Chinese cook.
The coroners jury rendered verdict
exhonerating Nardelli, as it appeared
to them that the killing was done in
self defense. The main witness w.
e. Kelly, book-keeper at the camp
and who was asleep in an adjoining
tent when the shooting occurred,
testified at the preliminary trial at
Clifton that he heard the Chinaman
speak several words before the shot
was fired, but that he did not see any
thing until after the man was dead.
The only other party on the scene
was Nardelli, who testified that the
Chinaman was after him with large
butcher knife when he shot him.
The knife was found near the China
man where he fell. District Attorney
McAlister, assisted by Frank B
Lame conducted the preliminary
nearing at CllIIOu M Onudy anu sue
ceeded in showing sufficient evidence
against Nardelli before Judge Moder
to cause the judge to order that Mar
delli be bound over to the grand jury
to await the action of that
body. At a preliminary trial it was
shown that the Chinaman had trou-
BILE with Mr.. Kelly at the camp and
had threatened him with a candle
stick and that the Chinaman seemed
to haye trouble at every place that
he had worked, though his trouble
never proved to be of a serious
nature until this time. Nardelli was
after his breakfast when the trouble
arose. The only evide nee against
Nardelli is circumstantial. His
statement before Judge Moder was
exceedingly short and his bond was
fixed at $500.

BROWN IN THE FIGHT

Brown of Independence opened the
fight for the Gam Statutory Bill as
opposed to submission, and a brave,
manly, strong and timely argument
he made. All along We have said that
it would be worth trip to Little Rock
to hear Brown speak on prohibition,
and we do not take it back. Just out
side in the lobby was the liquorite
who had him arrested last year. Brown
will stay, while that man will move, or

THE GREATEST DANGER

According to Mr.. Carnegie, the very
gravest of the dangers that beset
young men who aim at success in BUSH
ness is the habit of intoxicating
liquors. He says in his book, "The
Empire of Business.
"The first and most seductive peril,
and the destroyer of most young men,
is the drinking of liquor. am no
temperance lecturer in disguise, but a
man who knows and tells you what OBJ
servation has proved to him; and l
say to you that you are more likely to
fail in your career from acquiring the
habit of drinking liquor than from any
or all of the other temptations likely
to assail you. You may yield to
almost any other temptation, and re-
form-may brace up, and, if not re-
cover lost ground, at least remain in
the race, and secure and maintain a
respectable position. But from the
insane thirst for liquor, escape is
almost impossible. l have known but
few exceptions to this rule"

Where diversified farming is pro-
perly appreciated and carried on in
the South there will be found general
agricultural prosperity. In any coun-
try where diversity of crops and in
dustries is generally engaged in, the
farmers are progressing;o out ofdebtand
accommodating property. In the coun-
tries where but one crop is the rule, and
that crop made to bear all the burdens
and expenses of the farm, we find the
people generally behind with their
creditors, and but little or no pro-
gress being made either in agricultural
development or money accumulation

The home paper is one of the most
telling and forceful advertisements of
towns progressiveness. 1t speaks
for the enterprise of the place, and to
strangers it illustrates the spirit and
enterprise of its people. 1t is always
we'll to bear in mind that seekers for
homes and for business locations new

town where the people are alive and
enterprising often holds forth to the
progressive home-seeker greater OPP

THE CONVICT AND JUSTICE

During every political campaign
and every session of the legislature,
enough is said on the convict question
to solve the problem over and over
again, we're those who do SO much
talking sincere in their assumed anx-
iety over the welfare Of tho poor con-
Wet.
We hear great deal about justice,
and that convicts must not be kept
idle, that they must earn their living,
that the people should not be taxed to
feed an army OF conyicts and so on
and SO forth.
When it comes to justice, there is
absolutely no semblance of justice in
the system by which the state Furnishes
the man who violates /. penal
statutes.
Let US see how this works. The state
arrests a young fellow, who, let Us
say, in drunken quarrel has sta bbed
a companion. He is hurried away to
prison. He is brought into court,
tried and convicted. He is sent to
prison for five, or for ten years, or
for life-all the while a young wife
and perhaps three or four little chill
dren are left without their natural pro-
tector and supporter. They huddle in
in a corner Of the court room. They
hear the lawyers yawp. They listen

Of the one % itself, leaving the other
upon tha aareies (?) of the world to
take care af themselves as best they
may.
The mother dies of despair. The boys
grow UP thieves. The girls grow up
harlots. The Jaw is indicated. The
taxpayer is protected. The criminal
classes are replenished. Is it not dam
nable? Does not the society which
tolerates such monstrosities deserve
all the evils It entails upon itself?
The state has no right to take that
mans labor from his wife and chill
dren and give them no equivalent. It
should punish the guilty, not the inno-
cent. Every dollar that is diverted in
this way from the natural needs of the
helpless to the uses of the public, is
base blood money that should and
does carry with it the curse of God.
