The Maryland legislature adjourn
ed the other day out OF respect for a
man who was reported to be dead,
and then he was ungenerous enough
to send word that he was neither dead
nor sleeping. However, one can
hardly be expected to die just for the
purpose OF keeping a Legislature from
being embarrassed.

OPEN NEW CANA
DIAN LINE
Grand Trunk Will Open
Large Section in :
Manitoba.

Winnipeg, Man, Aug. 27.-Next
week the Grand Trunk Pacific Rail-
way will celebrate the fifth anniver-
sary Of the beginning of it's construc-
ton by opening the government sec
ton between Winnipeg and Superior
Junction, ESQ miles. The great pro-
ject of a national railway was start
ed in September, 1905, when Sir Will
frid Laurier turned the first sod at
Fort William. At about the same
time the actual construction was
commenced on the prairie section
west of Winnipeg. Since then thou
sands of men have been at work, with
the result that the great project,
which means SO much to western
Canada, is rapidly nearing compile
ton.
The line from Winnipeg to Ejmon-
ton was opened year ago. The COM
pletion Of the Superior Junction
branch will allow the road to be op-
Grated from Fort William through to
Edmonton, about LOO miles. This
will enable the new transcOntinental
line to move this years grain crop
next month.
The placing of Edmonton, which
is in the heart of the great wheat
belt, in direct communication with
Fort William, the great grain outlet
for western Canada, marks another
epoch of western development and
has deep significance to both cities.
Edmonton appears destined to be-
come the great railroad center of
Alberta and will rapidly take it's
place among the great cities of the
west. 1t is probable the opening of
the new line will be appropriately
celebrated.

ern in this territory,
The arrival of Engineer G. S.
Henning and his corps of assist
ants last Sunday morning in
Douglas and the departure of
that corps CT engineers for Here
ford, set all kinds of railroad
gossip going. Engineer Henning
engaged an automobile for a
three weeks trip out of Hereford

1t may be stated without fear
of contradiction that the engin-
GERS are going by automobile
over the proposed extension of
the Southwestern between Ben
son and Yuma, there to connect
with the Spreckels line now
pushing east with all speed out
of San Diego.
So authentic is the informa-
tisn regarding the plans of the
Southwestern that it may be ia
ken for granted that the Phelps
Dodge interests have become
largely in the Rock Island sys-
tenn and the Spreckels line is to
be the western outlet to the har-

Not in many months haye rail
road rumors of vital moment to
the future of Arizona been SO
prevalent in the city as they are
this week. In railroad circles
little else is discussed than the
purported plans of the Southern
Pacific and the E. P. & S. w.
The general opinion seems to
be that the negotiations which
have been pending between the
two companies for weeks past,
and which resulted in the suS-
pension of work by the Southern
Pacific on it's line between Kel-
ton and Naco were off and that
a great war is likely between the
two big companies which cannot
fail to be of much benefit to Ari-
iona.
According to a business man
who spent some weeks of last
summer in New York, an ar
rangement was made between
the Phelps-Dodge people and the
Southern Pacific whereby the
latter was to take over the Court
land line and be given an outlet
to Naco, Sonora, there to con-
meet with the Southern Pacific
building north from Guaymas.

DESTROYING Rats

Many devices have been recon-
mended for driving rats from
premises. Some are based on
superstitions, but it must be re-
membered that nothing is gained
when they are simply driven
from one place to another. Their
destruction must be sure and
complete. Traps are good, but
the rats are so cunning that
after a few are caught the others
seem to understand and stay
away. To destroy rats, each
evening when the COWS are
MIXED place little fresh milk
in seallOw pans around where
the rats can get it. Keep this
up for q week until they get bold
and impatient for it. Then mix
arsenic in the milk and await re-
suits. 1t will kill every rat that
likes milk, and that means al
mostevery one.-Missouri Dairy
