There are crude and there are subtle
methods of attaining the same results.
But when "crude" methods openly beat
down opposition they become frank"
and when subtle methods are exposed
and defeated they are tricky" Com
muters have discovered they have been
paying for an additional two or three
miles. under the mileage tables issued
by the New Haven railroad TO subur-
ban points. A basis of comparison was
afforded by the Now York Central
mileage tables. One set of tracks
suf1ces for both roads within the SUBJ
urban limits. President Mellen. OF the
New Haven. now declares, Someone
has blundered."

Apparently the members Of the
Board of Works are willing to move
from their granite block determination
toward the wood block desire of the
Market Street Business Mems Associa-
ton so far as an asphalt compromise.
This move will meet with popular
favor. Without going into the merits
of the case the public has instinctively
felt that the wishes of business men
along Market street concerning a pave
ment for that ~thoroughfare should re-
ceive consideration.

Certainly | am in favor of any action
necessary to insure a reduction of rail-
road rates to a reasonable basis" de-
clared Vivian M. Lewis, candidate for
the Republican gubernatorial nominal
ton, in answer to a direct question con-
corning his views on the situation aris-
ing from the proposed increase in pas
senger rates in this State. There is no
tendency to evade the issue in such an
answer Evasion. indeed. by candi-
dates on any clear-cut issues is not
likely to be tolerated this year.

That skeptic who declared that virtue
Is its only reward is asked to examine
for a moment the Ease of one Richard
J. Parr. deputy surveyor of the port
of New York and one time special
agent of the government. Mr.. Parr
uncovered the frauds practised by the
sugar trust; he refused brides aggre-
eating over 100000. AS the result of
his industry and probity considerably
over $4,000, 900 has been collected from
the American Sugar Refining Company.
Under the law the secretary of the
treasury can award Mr.. Parr from 80
to so per cent. of that amount His de-
cision is expected next week.

JEALOUSY.
A who Is said to have
earned $4,000 In four years from
transportation companies through
falls was arrested In New York.
She had fallen sixteen times in that
period and compromised as many
damage suits.
When a mar or woman p~erfects
a new and noiseless way to make an
honest living there are always jeal-

fraud. In this case 1t Is the police
and the managers of the transport
tation companies.

Little Rock, March 26.-"Ar- kansas should spend $100,00O year for the next ten years in advertising the resources of the state," said c. w. l.. Armour, a prominent real estate dealer of For Smith, after the close of the Arkansas Land Congress- yester- day, and this $1O0,OO0 so ex- pended would put the state so far ahead of anything else in the south or west, they would never catch up again. What Arkansas will do at the National Land and Irrigation Congress in Chicago next year will make the other states turn green with envy.

The last years of life are the sweet est, and yet the most difficult to pro- long. It is then that the greatest care is exercised in maintaining bodily health. But the chief care should all ways be with regard to the food you eat and whether you are digesting it properly. You should not allow your self to become constipated.

COMPLAINS TO
COMMISSIONERS
ABOUT, ROAD
WATER TROUBLES ARE AGAIN
CAUSED BY RESIDENTS OF
DUCKWATER SECTION

At special session of the board
Of county commissioners held this
morning, communication was re-
oeived from J. P, Tognini, of Duck
water, complaining about the pub
lie roads in that vicinity being bad
ly damaged by the overflow of water
used by w. F. Mendes. The CON-
plaint is the outcome of the fam
GUS Duckwater controversy over
water litigation, and it is evident
that the residents of that section
continue to exercise a petty spite
against their neighbors.
Tognini stated that Mendes was
allowing water to flood the road
and later after freezing the thor
oughfare was completely covered
with lice. The board instructed
County Clerk Robert G. Pohl, who
is also clerk of the board, to COM
municate with Mendes and in
struct him to discontinue using the
road for an outlet. If he continued
to do so, he would have to pay fol
all costs resulting in repairing the
damage.

ARSON CASE Is
To BE CALLED IN
DISTRICT COURT
DEFENDANT FROM BEATTY DE-
MANDS AND SECURES A
JURY TRIAL

Tomorrow morning at 10 O'Clock
the case of the State of Nevada ver-
sus w. H. Sanders will be called in
the district court. The trial will
be by jury and will be presided
over by Judge Mark r. Averill.
Some months ago it is alleged
that Sanders placed a. suit case con-
tanning a lighted candle in resi-
denec at Beatty. The candle was
so fixed that after it had burned To
a certain level the flame fired rags
which communicated to the dwell
ling. Sanders was arrested and
hailed before the Nye county grand
jury, which returned an indictment
against him charging arson. He
has since been confined in the coun-
ty jail in default of the necessary
amount of bail.
The venire of forty jurymen,
drawn some time ago, has been
notified to be in attendance upon
the court in the morning when the
work of securing the jury will be
started. 1t is expected that the jury
box will be filed during the first
days session.

SEATTLE. Dec. 12-No news
was received this morning from the
Alaska Steamship company's steam
er Olympia, which went ashore Sat
urday night on Bligh island, Prince
William Sound, while bound from
Cordova to Valdez with 106 persons
on board There is reason for be-
lieving that all will be saved by the
relief vessels sent to the scene. Of
ficers of the company say the hull
of the vessel is strong and will not
break up. There is an abundance
of food on the ship. The wireless
apparatus on the steamer is out OF
commission. Twenty-eight of the
SO passengers were bound for Val
dez, including United States Dis
trict Judge e. E. Cushman, his wife
and number of the officers of his
