Structural Steel in Mine Workings.

Steel has long been employed in un- derground workings in Europe. The
 Carnegie Steel Co. has for some time
 in this country been making steel mine supports. Numerous installa- tions have been made in tubular form in the most important mines of Ger many. The first use of steel in the mines of the United States was made by the Susquehanna Coal Cos, and there is in use today, in the anthra- cite region, steel supports which have been used for 15 years in the deepest and wettest part of the mine, with out sign ot failure or corrosion, the only protection being coats of paint, and there are now three to four miles of gangway timbered with steel. Beyond its long life, steel possesses other advantages over wood. It can be cut to length and fashioned in con- ve1ient units ready for erection, and its smaller weight is convenient for this purpose. Steel is fireproof, and so there is no danger of the frightful losses of life and property from mine fires. It can be manufactured of any size, according to the amount of weight or stress it has to bear.

Territorial Fair Racing to be Best.

Commissioner J. c. Adams of the territorial fair has returned after an absence of more than six weeks, in which he visited almost every point on both the Grand and Great West ern circuits. He brought back with him enthusiasm regarding the racing department of the Arizona fair, the entries for which he says will be more than double the number of those at any previous territorial fair. He believes moreover that there will be a bigger meet in Phoenix next November than was witnessed at auy point on either of the great circuits.
 MT. Adams said that the Arizona Copper stake for trotting and pacing would bring in practically all the famous horses on the two great cir cults.
 A majority of all the noted trainers and horses in the United States will be here.
 Dr. Stone will be the official starter under contract with Commissioner Packarg made last fall before the appointment of Commissioners Adams and Campbell, but the other racing officials have not been appointed.
 Among the noted trainers, with strings of horses, who will be at the fair are Ed Geers, Gus Macey, Char lie Dean, Dan McMahon, Dick Will son and Lou Mcdonald.

Alfalfa Meal Making Profitable Industry.

James Gulley, who sold his ranch in the Cartwright neighborhood two years, ago and left the country be- cause he thought he could do better elsewhere, understands that he has made a mistake. He has undertaken to repair it as far as possible by re- turning, though he finds that posi- tions on the ground floor are not as easily obtainable as they were two years ago.
 He has spent the last two years in Kansas, where he picked up some in formation which may be valuable to him and other farmers of the Salt River valley, regarding the manu- facture of alfalfa meal. That has become a great industry in many parts of Kansas and the meal has an extensive and growing sale through out the east, where it is used for all kinds of feeding purposes. The meal not only brings out all the substance in the alfalfa, but includes all of the alfalfa, much of which is lost ;n the ordinary process of feeding.
 MT. Gulley believes that the meal, which could be made in this country, would be far superior to the Kansas meal, which is frequently yellow. The green is more highly prized by purchasers. The manufacture of al- falfa meal is an industry which does not require a great deal of capital as plant can be installed at an eX- penditure of from s1O,OOO to Sl5, 5,OOO.-

-FOUR SCORE, BUT
WILL wed AGAIN,
Divorced From Wife of 10 and
Will Now Take Bride
of so.

Des Moines, Ia, April 10.-Nine
months after his divorce from the 10
year-old wife, N. b, Thompson, who
has seen the light of 81 summers, will
be the principal In a marriage this
afternoon. Justice of the Peace Liy-
ingstone will pronounce the words that
Will make him the husband Of Mrs.
Mary Cowling, aged so,
Before the marriage license could be
issued 1t was necessary for the aged
man to secure permission from one of
the district judges to marry within a
year from the time he secured his last
divorce. Judge Brennan, who granted
the divorce last June. signed the de-
cree which gave him the right to be-
come q benedict again.
In applying for his d~ispensation
Thompson said that he was without
relatives or friends and that lie need
ed some one to care for him. He said
that his intended bride had done this
Tor the last three years and was per-
fectly willing to continue to do so
when she became his wife.
Mr.. Thompson came to Des Moines
from Boone, Ia, where he owns a con-
siderable amount of property. His d.
yorced wife lives there. In his petit
ton he accused her of marrying him
for the purpose OF getting his property
and of treating him in a cruel and in
human manne Mrs. Thompson filed
4 cross petition and by an agreement
h was given the decree and a part
of the property.

to draw q law on this subject OF com
binations and trusts which will be of-
fective and constitutional. This he
looks upon as the great work ahead OF
himself, and to do IL he will devote both

No Immunity Bath"
The greatest effort has been made
by the government to take no chance
of granting immunity as was done In
the beet trust case. The Standard OIL
people are expected to argue that this
was done, Notwithstanding the EFFORT
Of the government: and II the COM
pany's contention shall be sustained.
1t is said. 1t will practically demon-
strate that NO trust a be convicted
because in the process OF conyfctinE
II the government is certain to COM
NIT some act which under the immu-
nifty law will give 1t immunity. This
is one OF the important matters IN
volved in the case.
The court may pursue either OF threc
courses. 1t may grant the full prayer
of the governments petition, ISSUING
an order for the dissolution OF the
Standard oil company, and the dis
tribution OF Its assets pro rata, back
10 the various corporations and indi-
viduals for which It Is alleged to be q
holding company. Or, the court may
find I'm part for both sides: or, 1t may
decide entirely in favor OF the defend
ant. Beyond this there is the possible
ity that the court, being doubtful,
might certify Up the whole matter TO
the circuit court of appeals, without
a decision; but this liz extremely I'M
likely.
