After lying in the bottom Of the
Mississippi at Canton for the past five
or six weeks, the ferry boat Cantonia
was finally brought to the surface with
the aid OF the government dredge boat
Aetna which has been working in the
canal during the past season and
which only assisted the stricken ferry
by special request OF the owners
who had become discouraged by the
repeated failures OF other outfits to
bring the craft to the surface. The
work of pumping the water from the
boat was, however. not without Incl.
dent.

The dredge was towed to the scene
from this place Saturday afternoon
and upon arrival Immediately got to
work. As soon as everything was ad-
5usted the pump was started and In
three minutes the boat was dry and
floating. It seems though, that the
work was being done too fast as be-
fore they could get siphon started
she had sunk again. having filled with

repeated with the same results and
then Major Meigs, who was in charge
of the work, hit upon scheme for
choking the discharge and thereby
causing a slower fiow of'water. Work
ing this way the boat was kept on top
and .siphon put in place. AS soon
as possible steam was gotten up and
things put in place.

NEW HOSPITAL PLANS
 HAVE LEFT NEW YORK

Plans for the new hospital fer the Copper Queen company, mention Of of which was made in the Review sev- weeks ago. are or their way from New York. After their Eeceipt here, and inspection. they will be sent back to the metropolis fer the architect there to make such changes as are suggest, ed. This will probably be done sev. eral times before the finished plans are ready for acceptance.
 Aside from the need of larger hospitaly a new one is made impera- tive by the constant shifting of the ground in the neighborhood of tine hos pital. This is caused by the under mining. from workings in the Czar and Holbrook shafts of the company. Sev- eral times fills have been made and some of the smaller outlying buildings connected with the hospital are rais. ed several feet.
 iA The building will cost in the neigh borhood of s100.000 Just when work will begin is not definitely known, de pending somewhat on circumstances. The site, however. has been practical ly agreed upon, it is understood The new hospital will be near the ice plant of the Bisbee Improvement com. pany, a place which will be conysn- tent to all the mines of the company.

Tn the little graveyard al Agua Prieta skeleton was found yester day of which there is no record of burial. and the authorities of that town, suspecting the interment follow ed some foul deed. are Investigating
 The body. HOW little more than a skeleton, was buried not deeper than two feet and had even been denied plain box for it's final repose.

NEW YORK. May 22.-The Nation al Board of Censorship which has, since March 26th passed upon the anthe output. of the ten principal film manufacturers Of the world, is now confronted with situation that threatens to hamper its future activ- ities.
 The Motion Picture Patents com pany licensing all the American and about 90 per cent Of the European finn makers. has worked hand in hand with the board of censorship. and iias not only submitted to them all of it's films. averaging 1S.o0o feet hibition room in it's own offices. where the films are shown as soon, as they are received from the factor iss. Not single film is alloweds to reach the exchanges for distribution among the 5000 licensed theaprs throughout the United States until il has been examined and officially approved by the censorship board,
 So far this arrangement has work ed admirably. Complaints about un- desirable pictures have almost en- tirely ceased, and there has been a marked improvement in the films as they come from manufacturers so that recently the censorship board has fonnf very little indeed to cri- ticise' But there are still some Mms of European make that do not come nder the license of the patents com pany. and which are used in about two thousand theaters in the United States.
 Up to the present time tno board cfs censorship has been unable to reach an -sgreement with the men who control these unlicensed films, except in the City 0; New York.
 In ss far as New York is concern- d, everything has worked smoothly between rae censors and the Nn- licensed film users, but in ordes to make the, inovenelr national in scope. 1t Is absoartely Snecessary that the. unlicensed firms shall agree to submit all aof their output to the censorship board. The necessity Of such cooperation is obvious, . If the board of censorship whose

 In tlat case theIn will be no need Of local censorship boards which have already sprung up in the vari- ous parts of the country, and which reexamine films that have already been passed by the National board.
 On the other hand if an occasional ndersirabhs film, the output of some company that has not submitted it's fiims to the national board. shall be shown, an immediate outcry will be raised against indecent motion pic tures' with the probable result that a local censorship board will be formed either by the police or civic authori- ties.
 Such local censors are apt to go to extremes. and to work so drastic ally as to not only harm the picture business in their own localities. but to cause great loss to the renters through the rejection or mutilation of taeir films
 Unless the work of the national censorship board can be made ur- limited and truly national. mucn of the good work that has already been accomplished through weeks of con scientious and efficient labor will be done. @
 There is lots of room and just de- mand for local censorship boards that will deal with the conditions of the theater. in which pictures are shown. Ventilation, lighting. safety and sani- tatien are far more important right now than the pictures. and local boards could do much toward better ig such conditions. put the actual censoring of the pictures themseiye' should be left entirely to the intelli- gent and splendidly qualified national board whose work, thus far has been most meritorious.
