ExPEDITING TITLES
Encouraging Report of Progress in Clear Listing by Agent
 SatterNhlte.

Raymond Satterwhite, agent of the Land Office in charge of investigation work in Imperial Valley, arrived in in El Centro yesterday and will re- main here a month adjusting school section conflicts and clear listing lands for patent. MT. Satterwhite says no protests have been made in the thir- ty-two cases advertised for clear list ing and there should be no delay in the issue of patents. He will attend to cases as fast as they are sent to him from Washington. There are about 1900 claims ready for patent, and the patents should be issued as fast as the clerks in the Land Of flee can write them out. The Wash ington authorities appear to have got move on, and if they can be induc- ed by judicious kicking to maintain their initial velocity, the title troubles of the valley will soon disappear Sat terwhite surely is doing his part wig orously.

A WOLF WITH WILD DOGS.
The Hard Combination for Wyoming
Ranchmen to Overcome.

C. E. Goyen, the foreman of former
Senator j. M. Carey's Horse Creek ranch,
is in the city with the hide of one of the
largest gray wolves seen in this neighbor-
hood for years. This wolf, which had been
running with two large dogs in the Horse
Creek Valley for some weeks, is the second
known case of dogs going wild and killing
stock with wolves in this neighborhood.
For several weeks Horse Greek ranchmen
have been trying to kill large she-wolf
and two dogs which have been travelling
through that country killing stock and
causing other depredations about the
ranches. One of the dogs formerly belonged
to Mr.. Britton, and he captured the animal
at one time after it went wild, but men,
bers of his family dssuaded him from
shooting it. Other ranchmen have since
vainiy tried to shoot or poison the dogs.
The domesticated wisdom of the dogs and
the ferocity of the sbig wolf made hard
combination for the ranchmen to overcome.
Yesterday Foreman Goyen located the
destructive trio on the prairie, and mounted
on swift horse gave chase and after
hard ride of about ten miles he succeeded
in running them down and roping the wolf.
He could have shot the wolf, but knowing
that the dogs would follow her he decided
to lead her to the ranch, where all three
could be killed With the rope well
fastened about the VOLTS body he pulled
her into the ranch, and the dogs followed.
All three were then shot.
Wolves have been killing stock in the
Horse Creek Valley, but the dog trio was
the worst, and ranchmen rejoice over their
determination. This same trio had even

Carrying 100, 1000 Volts over the Rockies

The electrical engineer is every day
achieving what seemed impossible the day
before, says writer who tells how Col
orado power company is carrying an enor-
nous current over the Rocky mountains,
exposed to wind, snow, hail and lightning.
This plant, it appears, transmits energy at
100000 volts for distance of $50 miles
over attitudes that run up to a maximum
of 1900 feet. In The Electrical World
New York, Jan. ~ we read:
The lines are exposed not only to the
ordinary contingencies of wind and snow,
but to sleet conditions which are excep-
tionally severe. The sleet recorded in the
region has reached diameter as high as
six inches, condition quite unheard of
in most sections of the country. Success
has been obtained by thorough and skillful
tower construction, together with the use
of suspension insulators, which are und-
doubtedly very considerable factor in
the success of the installation. The aver
age spacing of the towers is about $50 feet
and they carry three hempcore cables
supported on single top-cross-arm in
horizontal plane, the distance between
the conductors being 10 feet four inches.
The insulators are four suspension disks,
each of which is rated at $4,000 volts work
ng-pressure. The suspension insulator
has the greatest recent improvement in
the electrical transmission of energy and
this line, subjected as it is to enormous
strains, is an admirable example of the sue
cess of the device. The towers are not
high, the normal height of the conductors
at the tower being only 40 feet. This
gives unusual stability to the line, sta
bility which is greatly needed in winter.
The lightning protection consists of
galvanized steel-stranded cable, or some
times pair of them, carried at the level
of the upper cross-arm and supported di-
rectly on the tower structures. This pro-

Our Sacrifice Of Children.

Discussing the Fourth of July cele.
bration question in the March Popular
Mechanics, II. II. Windsor uses a novel
but convincing hypothesis. He says:
Suppose, for example, that congress
voted to sacrifice one boy each year as a
national Fourth of July offering-just
one single boy. What an uproar we
would make. Suppose, in due process
of law, the victim was selected and his
name and residence announced some
morning Suppose, also, he was as UNI
promising and unlovable youngster as
could be found and he lived in cross
roads village so small IL was unknown
beyond the county line. In few hours
the daily press would flood the country
with extra editions, while editorial
writer's would hurl denunciation at the
lawmakers while demanding a special
session of congress, If necessary, to re,
peal so infamous thing. Matters OF
greatest business Importance, social
events of the first order and other do
ings of equal magnitude would have to
appear in obscure portions of the pa
pers. In every city, town and hamlet
petitions to the president would form as
if by magic; people of every occupation
would neglect their business in order
to atlix their signature, and before night
several million names of angry and de-
termined men and women would have
signed the demand. To carry the argu-
ment to its extreme, we may even as
sumo that congress refused to repeal, the
president declined to intercede and the
highest court did not Interfere. An at
tempt to execute the decree would pre-
cipitate civil war.
All this to save one unknown boy.
And yet on July 4th, 1910, two hun.
bred or more boys and girls will yield
their lives to form of celebration
which has long ago ceased to be even
patriotic.
While the basis is an impossible one,
