Tucson Citizen !

From authoritative sources,
which cannot at this time be re-
vealed, the Citizen today pre-
>sents the proposed route of the
contemplated extension Of the
Ell Paso and western from
Benson to Tucson, together with
its northern and western con
nections.
The road will approach this
city, not by way of Hereford and
through the Davidson Canyon
gap of the Sahta Ritas west Of
that point of their present road,
and from thence up the Santa
Cruz river, as was first thought:
it viii come from the north in
stead of the south.
Was Survey Secret?
The new line, which has been
run with the greatest possible
secrecy consistent with the ma
ture of the work, is projected to
cross the Southern Pacific at
Benson, skirt the base Of the
Rincon mountains at Pantano,
come down the Pantano Greek
nearly to its junction with the
Rillito, then bend sharply and
swing 10 a bee line into Tucson,
arriving on the north edge of
the town.
Through to the Coast
But this is only u part of the
story. From Tucson the line
wilLbe run directly westward to
Yuma, avoiding the long bend to
the north which the Southern
Pacific now makes, shortening
the haul to this point by about
20 miles.
At the Colorado river it will
meet the San Diego and Eastern
line, projected by John Spreck-
els, and thus cut directly across
to the Pacific seaboard, making
its port San Diego.
Besides this, it is also stated
that the Ell Pdso people will
build to Globe to give the Old
Dominion and Miami properties,
both of which they now or
shortly will control, an outlet to
their other mines and Smelters.
The route will be by way of
Oracle, Mammoth and San Car
los, thence bending up the bank
of the Gila into enc of the best
towns in the the territory at this
time.
Tlis action, it is reported, is
= the contemplated answer to the
threatened extension OF the
Southern Pacific into Douglas,

interests, named after and the

A three-cornered platform is built

bolted to the front end of platform,

How to Check Rheumatism and
Kidney Trouble.

This is a simple home recipe now
being made known in all the larger
cities through the newspapers. 1t is
intended to check the many cases Of
Rheumatism and dread kidney trouble
which have made so many cripples,
invalids and weaklings of some of our
brightest and strongest people.
The druggists everywhere, even in
the smallest communities, have been
notified to supply themselves with the
ingredients, and the sufferer will have
no trouble to obtain them. The pre-
scription is as follows: Fluid Extract
Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound
Kargon, one ounce, and Compound
Syrup of Sarsaparilla, three ounces.
Mix by shaking we'll in bottle. The
dose is one teaspoonful after each
meal and at bedtime
Recent experiments in hospital
cases prove this simple mixture eff
fective in Rheumatism. Because Of
Its positive action upon the elimina-
tive tissues of the kidneys, 1t compels
these most vital organs TO filter from
the blood and system the waste i'm
purities and uric acid which are the
cause Of rheumatism. It cleanses the
kidneys. strengthens them and re-
moves quickly such symptoms as
backache, blood disorders, bladder
weakness, frequent urination, painful
scalding and discolored urine. It acts
as gentle, thorough regulator to the
entire kidney structure.
Those who suffer and are accus-
toned to purchase bottle of medi-
cine should not let little incon-
venience interfere with making this
up, or have your druggist do it for you.

Training Needed.

BY the aid of little training, to-
gether with the necessary tools and
supplies, the farmer can repair all
ordinary injuries to the farm equip
ment, and as a rule he can do this
in a shorter time than would be re-
quired to go to distant shop.
On most-tarms there Is a deficiency
of suitable repair tools and supplies,
and an increased investment along this
line is strongly recommended. Some
farmers, however, need to be caution
ed against hasty, indiscriminate pur-
chases A small, well selected outflt,
used to the best advantage and well
cared for, will prove more satisfactory
than a miscellaneous assortment I'M

tools and supplies with which to re-
pair the special farm equipment Will
be required. A workbench of some
kind is essential. Illustrations of

shown These will prove of great as
sistance to farmers in planning these
conveniences.
In deciding what tools and materials
to purchase, always give preference
to those most frequently and urgent
