SAN LEANDRO,' Cal, Feb. 10.
Surgeons at the county infirm-
airy today declared their belief
that Eng Sing, Chinese powder
mixer, will die from his injuries
sustained in the destruction of
several buildings of the Trojan
powder works at Roberts Landing
yesterday. The Chinese received
serious injuries, and his death
would add a ninth victim to the
list of those killed by the explo-
sion.
All others injured will recover.
Officers of the Trojan powder
works today began an investiga-
ton into the cause of the disaster,
although the injury is regarded as
hopeless. The men who could have
thrown light on the cause were
torn to pieces by the explosion.

AUDIENCE

I'm Congoland," presented last
night at the Tacoma theater by
the National Union for the benefit
of the Children's Industrial Home,

pleasing local talent productions
seen in the city, and the large
audience filed out after the closing
number wiping away tears of
laughter. Every one of the cast
entered into the spirit and the
line between actors and nea :
actors would have to be finely

means so much for the health of the
people, and the elimination of ty-
phoid and other fevers when a sew
age system is accomplished in each
town, there are other benefits to
come, especially through the electric
light, which would give an econom-
ical system of lighting the homes
and business houses in the towns of
the valley, as well as the ranch
homes.
With good water, electric lights,
telephone and transcontinental line
down the valley, the people of the
Gila Valley would have all the mod
ern improvements of the East, a
condition everyone should want.
The superb climatic conditions OBJ
tanned in the Gila Valley are not
surpassed anywhere in Arizona.
Our rich soil will produce the finest
crops of wheat, barley, corn, alfalfa
and vegetables of all kinds, besides
every kind of fruit. All we need
to place our beautiful valley above
other places is a good water system
and electric lighting, and now is the
time to get it.

WRONG VIEWS or THE CENSUS
No Harm Can Come to Any
Person Who Answers
the Questions
WASHINGTON, D. c.,

II
Letters from the census supervis.
ors to the United States Census Bu-
reau show the erroneous apprehen-
sion of a considerable element of
the population that their answers
to the enumerators' questions in
the next census, beginning April
18th, this year, will cause increased
taxation, legal entanglements, or
injurious consequences to their per-
sons and property.
In order to quiet such unfounded
fears, which would, unless removed,
materially affect the accuracy of the
census, the bureau has prepared an
official statement relative to the
decennial census, its origin, purpose
and uses.
This statement should furnish
complete assurance to those con-
cerned that information given the
enumerators is held by the Census
Bureau in the strictest confidence
with reference to the identity of the
informants, as required by the pol
icy of the bureau and commanded
by the law of the United States.
The bureau earnestly hopes that
clergymen, priests, physicians, en-
ployers, school teachers and other
public-spirited citizens who come in
contact with large numbers of peo-
pie, will cooperate with the bureau
by telling persons who are believed
to entertain erroneous opinions of
the census the real facts and urging
them to give full replies to the
enumerators. Teachers are particu-
larly requested to speak of the GEN.
sus to the school children and ask
them to tell their parents about it.
The statement issued by the bu-
reau explains that the Constitution
requires census of the population
be taken every ten years in order to
reapportion State representation in
the National House of Representa-
tives. 1t is the means also to ascer-
tain the increase in the population,
agriculture, industries and resources
of the nation since the last census.
1t is emphatically declared, by
the statement, that the information
sought from the people of the
United States is used solely for gen.
eral statistical purposes. 1t will
neither be published nor used in any
other way to disclose facts regard
ing any individual or enterprise.
The census, it goes on to say, is not,
never has been, and can not be en-
ployed to obtain information that
can be used in any way in the as
sessment of property for purposes
of taxation or the collection of taxes,
either national, state or local; or for
deportation proceedings, extradition
measures, army or navy conscrip-
ton, internal-revenue Investigations,
compulsory school attendance, child
labor law prosecutions, quarantine
regulations, or in any way affect the

HER NEW SHOE

When woman has pair of
new shoes sent home," said the
cynical salesman, she goes to work
at 'em very unlike man under
similar circumstances.
She never shoves her toes into
them and yanks at 'em till she's red
in the face, nor after getting then
on at last does she go stamping
around, telling those shoes with
great frankness what her opinion is
of 'em and of herself for ever coun.
tenancing 'em. No.
"She pulls 'em carefully part
way on; twitches 'em off again tc
take another look at 'em to see
whether she has got the right one
on the left foot and the left one on
the right; pulls 'em all the way on;
looks at 'em dreamily; says they
seem to fit so we'll that she's afraid
they'll get too big by and by; takes
another look at 'em; twists 'em
around to take side view of 'em;
gives a little scream, and exclaims:
"Oh, my, there's wrinkle al
ready! Mercy, how loose they arev
Then she looks at 'em again,
square in front; works the feet
around to find if she can't induce
the shoes not to hurt quite so much;
takes the shoes off, looks at the
heels, the toes, the soles, and the
interior; puts 'em on again, walks
up and down the room once or
twice, and declares positively to her
husband, sitting by:
They're horrid! l won't have
them at any price!'
Then she tits down the looking
glass on the dresser so she can see
how they appear viewed from all the
positions the mirror will reflect 'em
to her, backs off, trips sidewise,
steps nearer, nearly dislocates her
neck trying to see how they look
from impossible points of view,
takes a farewell glance at 'em,
moves away, takes another farewell
Graham guardian., 1910-03-11

glance at 'em from all positions, sits
down, and says:
They make my feet look toe
horrid for anything, and as if
were wearing at least threes and a
half! They never will do in the
world!'
Then she takes 'em off, turns
'em over, inspects the heel, toe,
sole, and inside all over again,
smooths out a wrinkle, pulls at the
buttons. and says:
Every button on them will drop
off the first time go out in them,
| know! And those heels! They
look almost ridiculously low enough
to be common sense heels. The
idea!
Then she draws 'em on again,
takes 'em off, puts 'em on, looks
'em over again in the mirror this,
that, and the other way; takes 'em
off, and says to her husband:
John, dear, won't you give me
your idea about these shoes? You
have such excellent taste and judg-
ment in such things
Then if John is wise he will
look 'em over and say that they
look to him absurdly high as to
heel, thin as to sole, and certainly
too tight around the instep.
oh, do you, dear?' She will
say, and thank him sweetly.
Then she will try 'em on again,
show them off before the mirror,
sit down, run her hand over 'em
gently, smile, ring for the maid,
and say to her:
You may tell the messenger,
Jane, that | will keep the shoes
And everybody is satisfied. So
much better than a mans is the
way of woman with a pair of new
shoes"

Stiff neck caused by rheumatism
of the muscles of the neck. 1t is
usually confined to one side, or to
the back of the neck and one side.
While it is often quite painful, quick
relief may be had by applying Cham

WHAT is LICKING THE RE.
PUBLICANS


editor is the Keeper of the Book o.
jefferson, the Oklahoman says tha
whenever a Republican is corneret
on the tariff question, he alway!
sidesteps and speaks of the wonder
full prosperity of the farmer, the
high prices the latter is getting fol
his hogs, etc.
This reminds the Times-Herald o1
a story out of Salem, N. j., that
illustrates the farmers part in our
national prosperity: A farmer kill.
ed two hogs and a Salem butcher
agreed to buy them, the price be.
ing satisfactory. The farmer said
he'd like to have the hams and
shoulders, and again the butcher
agreed. After the farmer put the
hams and shoulders on his wagon,
he remarked: well, what's the
balance coming to me?" The
butcher figured a moment and re.
piled: There's nothing coming to
you; you owe me $685." And
the farmer was obliged to pay it.
The butchers figures were correct
the farmers were correct. The
butcher bought the entire hog at a
wholesale price and the farmer was
charged at retail prices for the
hams and shoulders-although that
was not understood when he made
the bargain.
The fact of the business is, says
the Ell Paso Times, the increased
cost of living is licking the stuffing
out of the Republican party and its
leaders know it. The people, who
are being oppressed as never before
in the history of the government,
are beginning to awaken to the
fact that the Republican party and
its legislation are responsible for
the high cost of living. 1t is not
necessary for them to hold an in
vestigation to determine the cause
of the high prices, because the con-
crete fact that prices of the neces-
sites of life are abnormally and
outrageously high is present with
them as well as the knowledge that
they are not due to natural causes,
and the public has arrived at the
correct conclusion that legislation is
responsible for the high prices and
the Republican party is responsible
for the legislation.
There will be reckoning follow
ed by reform and radical re-
form at that. If the Democratic
party can secure harmony and its
wings flop together the defeat of
the Republicans in the congression-
al elections this fall is assured. If
we stop there it will be barren
since the administration and
the senate will remain Republican
and can render nugatory any effort
of Democratic house. In order
to work relief. it will be necessary
not only to win this year, but to go
further and win all the rest two
years hence.
This is the one hope of relief for
the people and for an equalization
of the burdens and benefits of citi-
zenship.
The present high cost Of living
calls to mind the following adver-
ment inserted in Los Angeles
paper by the proprietor of one of
the leading restaurants, on March
ith, the day on which hog meat
reached the highest notch in thirty |
years:
WANTED-Fifty dogs; will pay
81 to $40. Come between IL and l.

YACHTS ARE READY
FOR ANNUAL EVENT
Many South Coast Craft Will Sail
Today in NordEinger Tro-
ply Race
SHOULD GET BACK TONIGHT
Trip of Fifty Miles Expected to Be
Easy for Local Skip
perS
GET BACK TONIGHT
AHOY, YACHTSMENl

The race to Bird Rock at the 18th
mus on Catalina island and return
which will be sailed today for the
Nordlinger perpetual trophy promises
to be the biggest affair on the South
Coast Yacht clubs program for the
season of 1910. Considerable interest
has been manifested in it's outcome and
judging from the excitement aroused,
the event will eclipse everything OF its
kind in Southern California yachting.
All final details have been complet-
ed for the race and with practically
every boat anchored in front OF the
club house in Los Angeles outer harbor,
eligible for the race, a long string OF
entries is looked for.
1t is likely that not all the boats
will be entered, but 1t Is believed that
at least eight sailing craft will don
their racing canvas and attempt TO
lift the Nordlinger cup.
The boats that are almost sure TO
start are Siwash, Charlie Fulton; Id
Ter, eX-Commodore X. r. Bradley;
Wasp, Paul Jeffords; Venus, John
Farnham; Winsome, Francis Hay;
Michief I, Warren Wood; Mischief II,
Walter Folsom; Wave, Grover Gar
land, and Minerva, Algy Best.
The preparatory gun will be fired at
9:55 o'clock and the starting gun at
10 o'clock. With the normal winds,
the boats should finish before o'clock
In the evening. The course is fifty
nautical miles In length.
Warren Wood returned from Cata-
lima island, where he has been SPEND
ing a week, yesterday morning and
Immediately went to work to put his
"black box" in shape for today's event.
Folsom and several others of the en-
trants have journeyed down to San Pc
dro during the w HEX and saw to 1t
that their "machii .s'' were in tip-top
shape for the race
Folsom's craft viii be the scratch
boat, but he is confident he can more
than make up the time he will allow
the other boats and win the race hands
down. Folsom has been doing little
sailing this year ON account or Ill
health and 1t will be against doctors
orders that he will sail in today's race.
With a large number of boats en-
tered, a pretty spectacle will be fur
nished In the outer harbor before the
start of the race. Many motorboats
and auxiliary yachts are expected to
be present at the start and to follow
the racers ways up the coast towards
Point Vincente.

AMATEUR BOXERS TO Be

Irish American Athletic Club Is
Planning to Hold Large

quently of offense, which has been get
ting counted out in many quarters
lately, is about to get a much needed
boost in this locality from that vigor-.
Gus organization, the Irish-American
Athletic club. After a lapse of five
years during which there has not been
an amateur boxing competition in this
district, it has been decided to hold
a tournament embracing all classes
The preliminaries will be held Septem-
Der Is and the finals September II.
The interest being manifested in the
idea by the athletic clubs insures q
big and classy entry. Every club In
this district has signifled its intention
OF enterting a team. There viii be
seven weight classes contested. Close
attention will be paid to the heavy
weight class, owing to the lack OF
good white heavyweights now before
the public. Amateur boxing has al
ways been the school for champions,
and this meet will no doubt produce
at least one good heavyweight, who
NAV possibly take up the white man $
burden for the supremacy of the world

cided on Charley White to oftlciate as

stakes, one for colts and the other for
fillies, will be run during the Pimlico
meeting at Baltimore, which begins
October Is and runs to october 81.
These stakes were to have been feat
ures of the fall meeting at Belmont
park. Since the decision to shut down
on racing in the Empire State Septem-
ber 1, it has been found necessary to
run off the stakes elsewhere. Some of
Sheepshead's stakes will be crowded
into three days following August 27
here, but there was no room for the
Matron features, hence the plan to run
them at Baltimore. These big races
add some class to the already prom
ising program at Pimlico.

SAYS LAJOIE HAS
IT ON TY COBB
Eddie Plank Thinks Nap lnfleIder
Is the Harder to Slant
Them For
CAN'T oUTGUESS FRENCHMAN
Georgian Has the Speed to Make
Him Formidable, Thinks
Veteran TWirIer
CAN'T oUTeUESs FRENCHMAN

PHILADELPHIA Aug. H.-With
the Lajoie-Cobb batting feud the chief
attraction in the American league out
side of the battle for the pennant, Ed
die Plank, the veteran southpaw of
the Athletics, and ranked as one of
the shrewdest students of batsmen in
the league, analyses the style of bat
ting of the two players, and gives first
honors to Lajoie. Without qualifica-
ton, Plank declares that the Cleveland
second baseman is the harder man of
the pair to pitch to with the idea of
outguesslng him.
This Is the manner in which Plank
compares the two: "Lajoie hits any
thing, inside, outside, high or low, over
the plate, and it is almost impossible
to pitch and fool him. Stick one close
to his belt, and he will crash 1t over
the infield, maybe to the fence. Drop
one low, and he will hit 1t a mile.
Around his shoulders, he will do the
same thing. Groove one, and it is
suicide.
Il never try to outguess Lajoie, for
[ admit that I have nothing with
which L can fool him. I simply take
my chance, and confess that he is my
superior. The easiest time to pitch to
the big fellow is when there are men
on the bases. He does not hit then
as he does when the pillows are empty.
Two years ago in Cleveland 1 was.
trying to waste a ball. He hit it
lick with his bat and knocked it over
the roof of a building out of the
grounds. I pushed him one in the last
series with the Maps inside and down
around his knees. He bounced 1t to
left field.
"Thats the reason I pitch to Larry
and hope for luck. You can't outguess
him.
with Cobb 1t is different although
Ty can hit anything that is thrown to
him. However, he is not so hard for
me to pitch to, perhaps because he is
a left-hand batter and Lajoie a right.
You can fool the Georgian where you
cannot the Frenchman. When l am
pitching against Detroit I take a
chance with Cobb, and sometimes I
can outguess him, although I admit
his ability as a batsman. You must
pitch to Cobb. He will not reach out
and hit a waste ball out Of the lot like
Lajoie He waits for you to hand 1t to
him where he thinks he can hit 1t,
and unless he gets it there he is not
so formidable.
Now, if Lajoie were as fast as Cobb
and laid down bunts, he would stay at
the top No one could touch him in
the American league. For good, clean
hitting he is in a class by himself,
and when he gets one 1t is one on
which a boy could get to first, second,
third or home. He Is the real batter
In the league, the hard man to pitch
to, and a clean hitter"

the vachtsmen. At first it was the in
tention of the club to transport all the
paraphernalia necessary to care for the
club members and their friends, but
this was at last deemed inadvisable.
The cruise to the isthmus has been
an annual affair of the local club for
many years and has always been we'll
attended and looked forward to by
the members and their friends.
Arrangements are being made by the
club for accommodations at Avalon for
those making the cruise who do not
wish to sleep aboard the boats. Prac-
tically every boat in the clubs fleet Will
make the cruise.
During the three days stays at
Avalon a barbecue will be held at

entertainments are being planned for
