The New Line TO the Coast.

Without noise or ostentation, a new
railroad from Phoenix to Los An
geles was opened yesterday, and PhOe-
nix took a new place on the railway
map. In any other community than
the Unconditional city of Phoenix, the
event would, have been the occasion of
a great celebration. The completion
of the Arizona & California railway is
in reality one of the most important
events in the commercial development
of the Salt River valley
All credit for the construction of
this railroad belongs to the indie
fatigable railroad builder of Arizona,
the man whose nerve and genius
brought to us the Santa Fe, Prescott
& Phoenix and the Phoenix & Eastern
railroads.&c.. Frank NJ Murphy. 1t
is no secret that the Arizona e. Cali
fornia was taken up by the Santa Fe
interests reluctantly, because of lack
of knowledge of the wonderful copn-
try it would develop, and it was I'M
dertaken solely because Mr.. Murphy
was daring enough to stake his repu-
tation on his prediction that it would
be a success. AS it was, he overcame
mayed a less determined man. The
event has, of course, more than justi-
fled the position he took at the incep-
ton of the enterprise. The new road
will be one of the most valuable lines
in the Santa Fes western system.
BY the way, the people of Arizona
will be glad to learn that there is no
truth in recent newspaper stories to
the effect that Mr.. Murphy is or has
been precariously ill. In response to
an inquiry from The Republican, he
telegraphed yesterday:
Thanks for your telegram. Just
returned from a rushing business trip
to Detroit. Nothing in the report
Probably be disappointing to some to
find | am not dangerously ill; such is
life"
AS our readers are aware, Mr.. Muir
ply is now devoting all his energies
to his latest railway project, a line to
connect Phoenix with Port Lobos, on
the upper coast of the Gulf of Cali
fornia If he succeeds with this en-
terprise, it will be of Unreasonable
value to the Salt River valley-in that
the new road will be a controlling
factor in freight rates between this
section and Pacific tide water for all
time.

to be hoped that the time is near at
hand when the department can rem
der a decision on the application of
the Arizona Eastern railway for a
right of way through the ella canyon.
That the decision, when rendered, will
be in favor of the railroad we do not
doubt, for common sense and equity
call for the granting of the right of
way. The question is of the utmost
concern to central Arizona. Waiting
upon the secretarys decision is a rail-
road of inestimable value to the CEN
trail part of this territory AS soon as
the right of way is obtained, the con-
struction of a transcontinental line on
a water grade through Arizona will
begin, and with it a line connecting
years thereafter Phoenix will be on
one of the greatest transcontinental
lines in the United States.
We understand that some of the
publications which are VIGOROUSLY hos
tile and unjust to Secretary Ballinger
have tried to make capital against
him out of this right of way question
on the pretense that to grant it
would destroy a reservoir. In our
judgment there is about as much pros
pect of money being found for reser-
voir at that point as there was that
Halleys comet would hit the earth.
BY courageously doing the right
thing, regardless of criticism, Secre-
tary Ballinger will strengthen himself
with the people of the Countryside
people have already taken the full
measure of his enemies. And the right
thing to do is to grant a right of way
through the ella canyon to the Ari-
IONA Eastern railway.
But please hurry, Mr.. Secretary
This section of Arizona is exceedingly
anxious for the construction of the
railroad to begin.

AN ACCOMPLISHED SAILOR.

THE master of a vessel in a port III
the Gulf of Mexico being in need of
money borrowed it and to secure it's
repayment executed what is called a
bottomry bond" writes a correspond
ent of the National magazine. BY
this bond it was agreed that if the
money was not paid within so many
days after the vessel arrived at New
York proceedings might be taken t"
have the vessel sold and the debt paid
out of the proceeds.
The money was not paid and | was
retained to enforce the bond and be-
gan a suit. Some one interested in
the vessel appeared in the suit and
denied that the bond had been eXecut-
ed by the master, as had been alleged.
1T became necessary to take the
testimony on this point of a sailor
whose name was subscribed to the
bond as having witnessed its eXecu
ton. In answer to my questions the
sailor said that the captain called him
into the vessels cabin and asked him
to be a witness to the bond, and he
signed his name to it as a witness.
and he spoke of the paper as the bot
tomry bond.
THE opposing counsel in a sharp
cross examination asked him how he
knew it was a bottomry bond, and the
witness answered that he read enough
Of it to know what it was. Some 9TH
er skillful questions brought out the
fact that when the sailor come into
the cabin the captain was sitting on
the other side of table with the
paper before him and the sailor sal
down at the side of the table facing
the captain, so that the paper was be-
tween them; that the paper was not
read to him, that the captain turned
over the first leaf of the paper and
signed his name at the end of it anc
told the sailor where to sign his name.
which he did and then left the cabin
MY heart sank, for / saw that y
was open to the other side to say that
the document lay on the table upsid'
down to the sailor, and that his state
ment that he read enough of the doc
ument to know it was a bottomr
bond was false, because, Of course, ne
could not read writing which was up
side down, and therefore his whole
evidence should be disbelieved.
THE lawyer opposed to me saw the
point also, but instead Of leaving the
matter where it was he concluded 10
clinch il, and taking the document II,
laid it down on the table before the
witness upside down and said to HIM,
Let us see you read the paper NV.
ITO my great surprise and relief he
witness read the writing, upside down
as it was, with nearly as much flu
ency as if it had been right side up.
That ended the contest over the
execution of the bond. This sailor's
ability To read, writing when II was
upside down was a curious instance of
the many curious things which sail
Ors do to occupy their time during
idle watches on long voyages"

Altogether creditable was the big
issue of the Arizona Democrat yester-
day in celebration of the opening of
the new railroad from Phoenix to Los
Angeles. The wide circulation of this
edition of the Democrat will be of
great value to Arizona. Comprehen-
sive special articles cover a wide range
of subjects, making the edition most
attractive immigration document

crat is rapidly jumping to the front as

with the wealthy office seeker, a poor
man being at a disadvantage in
placing his claims before the people.
But a tree is known by it's fruits. 1t
is to be noted that the most vigorous
opposition to direct primaries comes
from professional politicians; and as a
general thing it is a safe procedure
for the people to do precisely the
things the machine politicians don't
want done.

FACTS ABOUT HALLEY'S
COMET.
Interesting Information About
the Celestial Visitor Soon to
Appear

A2pea-.
set lille Landmark
Prof. j. F. Lannear. Of Wake
Forest College, said to be one of
the hest informed astronomers in
me State, has given the Raleigh
News and Observer some inter-
rsling facts about Ha'ley's comet.
AS the comet has attracted
general attention and excited
much interest, the following ex-
tracts from Prof. Lanneau's in
terview are OF interest:
Haliey's comet, the most in
teresting Of all comets and the
Que that always filled the hearts
Of the middle ages with terror.
will become visible to the naked
eye about the first of April. Dur
ing April and the first half of |
May,it will be visible in the east !
Just before sunrise and after
that time will be seen in the
western skies just after sunset,
and will make fine display.
Halley's comet is a periodic
comet, making it's appearance
every 76 years. 1t derived it's
name from the great astronomer,
Sir Edmund HALEY, who observ-
ed it when it appeared in 1852
and had the courage to predict
it's temperance, fixing 1853 as
the date. Sure enough in 1853
it reappeared, being visible for
some time, and again in 1885.
Already it can again be seen by
the astronomers, and is moving
rapidly towards the earth.
Is Halley's comet an i'll omen?
Does it have anything to do with
the happenings on earth? This is
a question that has puzzled the
minds Of men for two thousand
years. Halley's comet mot so
named until 1892 has appeared
% times during the past 2,150
years, and according to tradition,
many notable events have trans
pired. 1t is stated that it was
visible in the year 70 A. D. when
Jerusalem was destroyed by Tit
us. 1t was visible in 1456, three
years after the Turks conquered
Constantinople. and when they
were again about to terrorize
'Christendcm. Its appearance
has never since equaled that O
1456, but it is supposed that i
will do 80 this time.
This comet is the one that wa!
visible in 1866 A. D., during tn
Norman Conquest and at tina
time it was called 1.-The comet G
William the Conqueror" for tn
want of a better name. 1t wa
visible when the French los
Canada to England in the frs
half Of 1850.
Coming nearer home, it is sal
that Halley's comet was visibl
in 1907. when Jamestown VIZ
settled by John Smith, and
1885 not long after the nullific;
ton act was passed by SouthCa
DINA.

Sanitary Inspector P. K. Nielsen was
found in his room at boarding house
on East Intendencia street about q
o'clock last evening suffering from a
dose of laudanum which he had evil

was found lying face downward on his

him to get up, be man and stop act

speak at the time but managed to
point to a dresser on which was found
an emptied vial Taking this down
stairs hurriedly it was found that the
vial had contained laudanum. Parties
in the house hurriedly teIephoned for
physicians. DR.. F. B. Bruce was
there in short time and started en-
ergetically to get him to vomit After
some time the poisonous drug was
taken from the stomach with the aid
of powerful emetics, and after the Gus.
tomary practice in such cases of walk.
ing him about for some two hours he
was apparently out of danger.
The alleged attempt at suicide
caused much of stir when it became
generally known. Various caus es
were assigned for the act, one iot
which was on account of his having
been suspended from duty Monday hy
the city health officer.
Nielsen ordinarily is a man who
usually attends strictly to his oNu
business. AS an employee of the health
department, he performed his duty as
he saw it without favoritism.

4. A. SERAPH|C
ARRESTS A BOY
IN PENSACOLA
WAS BROUGHT TO THIS cOUN-
TRY IN VIOLATION OF THE
ALIEN LABOR LAWS, AND MAY
BE ORDERED DEPoRTED.

A. A. Seraphic, an immigration Of
ficer well-known in Pensacola, reach
ed the city yesterday morning, and
within a short time had arrested
Vasilios Stasino, Greek boy, about
II years of age, who, it is claimed,
was brought to this city a little over

has since had the boy in his en-
ploy.
The department is investigating
cases of this nature in many cities
and Mr.. Seraphic, who is thoroughly
familiar with the work, has been as
signed to duty in this connection. He
has caused arrests to be made il

Greeks were found in conditions
similar to the boy arrested yester
day.

A NOCTURNAL
VISITOR GIVEN
A BAD FRIGHT
ATTEMPTED BURGLARY OF RESI-
DENCE OF ALDERMAN CONCAN-
NON WAS FRUSTRATED WHEN
OCCUPANTS HEARD A NOISE,

A burglar made an attempt to bur
glarize the home of Alderman Concan-
non, on North Hill, at late hour last
night but was frightened away by a
noise made by people in the house
who were trying to get a glimpse of
the would-be thief who was working
so boldly. The man was block, but
not enough was seen of him, it was
stated, to permit of any possible iden-
tification.
The police station was notified by
telephone of the attempt, and Patrol
man Roach was hurried to the scene,
but nothing was found in the form of
thief on the premises. Evidences
that an attempt had been made to get
into window, however, were discov-
cred.
