you, as superintendent of the de-

of its character ever held in the

Many ne~ Improvements are
now being made by the Delta
County Cooperative Telephone
company. Another line is being
built on Rogers mesa which will
make the service much better.
The line at present is very
crowded and the new line is a
necessity. A new line will be
built to the Crystal creek country
just as soon as the men can be OBJ
tanned ia do the work.
A contract was let last week for
450 poles, for the lines around

that two much arsenic is used in

goes to the soil and enters into
the fruit raised: Professor Head
den gives his Investigations as
follows:
Before good sized audience

Scientific Society last night. DR..
William P. Headden of the State

that through the excessive use of
arsenic in spraying fluids in or
chards soil where fruit trees were
raised was gradually accumulat-
ing an amount of arsenic that
might prove to be dangerous to
the general health. From the
soil. he asserted. the arsenic is
absorbed by fruit, by hay and
gram grown on orchard lands and
by animals and people. He said
that he had by experiment found
"a satisfactory amount of arsenic

piles from nearly every market in

with myself and two members of
my family. After eating apples

our systems. Arsenic is notice
ably present in the viscera OF AMI
mails fed on alfalfa that is grown
IN orchards where arsenic sprays
have been used. The amount
was about LIP of a grain. IA of
a grain has been known to kill a
man.
1.-The result OF it is that there
is arsenic in everybody's system
which got there through eating
fruit and also the flesh of animals
fed on hay grown on orchard
lands. The disastrous effect OF
this is especially felt by toxicolo-
gists. since it practically ruins the
chance of finding out whether a
person has been poisoned with
arsenic. A post mortem exam
ination for arseniral poisoning
would be absolutely useless where
the poison is already present.
The trouble is that fruit grow
ers use too much arsenic in the
spraying fluids. One pound iu
fifty is sufficient, but many grow
ers use ten pounds.

INDIAN CREMATION MUST STOP.

Some time ago the agent and other officers In
charge OF the Yuma reservation asked the braves
to refrain from burning the houses of the dead.
They showed how easy 1t would be for a fire to
sweep over a part of the reservation and put gov.
ernment property in jeopardy.
For a time the Indians observed the request
the Los Angeles Times says. but a few days ago
celebrated the departure OF one Of their number
in the most approved redskin style. The personal
effects of the deceased were burned and his house
was set on fire. He was supposed to have arrived
in the happy hunting ground. ready for enthu
siastic reception
But inasmuch as the personal property of
deceased person belongs to the heirs by the Cali
foTna law. there Is no doubt that jealous friends
overstepped the law when they cremated every
thing the dead Indian had owned
The practice of the Yuma Indians in burning
their dead. together with the possessions left by
the departed braves. has aroused the federal au
thorities to action. While there wouldn't be in
