UNIQUE AND BEAUTIFUL
 ARIZONA PILLOW TAPE
Handsome Lot On Display At Balke's
 Big Curio Store.

Those who take delight in the beau tiful and the unique should hasten to visit Balkes Big Curio Store where there has just been received a lot of Arizona" pilolw tops. They are called Arizona" for the reason that that word appears on them in appliqued letters.
 These are goat skin pillow tops; each made of two skins of different color. Some are green on one side and red on the other, while still others are made of tan colored skins.
 Beside the appliqued word there are overlaid on the face of the tops var ious forms of cactus in flower. These pillow tops have just been received and are being sold surprisingly cheap.
 There is a lot of Arizona pennants worth looking at considering their beauty and price. Though there is no special occasion just now for pennants there will be many such occasions in the course of the year.
 These are of exceedingly handsome color and texture and each is over laid with an artistic western design in leather.

WATCH REGULATION ON SOUTHERN PACIFIC
employes Time Pieces Must be Accu-
 rate to the Second.

Does your watch vary ten seconds fin
 any twenty-four hours? Does it vary
 thirty seconds in a week. whether in
 hot or cold weather or if held upside
 down, or other unusual positions? The
 watches of the employees of the South ern Pacific Company must show such record as the above. At any time
 that they show their variations they must be regulated But this regula- 1 ton is only a part of the tests that
 are made of the time pieces of the Southern Pacific employees.
 Every employe. who in any way
 comes in contact with the operation
 Of trains on the Southern Pacific. be
 he superintendent, signal man or sec
 ton foreman, is required to own a
 watch so adjusted as not to exceed
 a variation of ten seconds in any
 twenty-four hours. The examination
 of each mans watch includes the sub
 jecting of the instrument to a severe
 tests Of temperature and the placing Of the watch in several different po-
 sitions in an endeavor to discover variation. To be retained in service a
 watch must not show a variation of more than 30 seconds per week. All employeS-the term employees includ-
 ing officials-are required to have their time piece inspected at least four times a year. The watches must be compared with a regulator every two weeks and the watch loaned by the jeweler during repairs must be equally as good as the one being repaired.
 The employees of the Southern Pacif- ic Company have taken an active in- terest in the time service" work. as IS manifested in the report of the watch inspection for the first quar- ter of the present year. Within the jur- lsdiction of F.. F. Gavin. vice president and general manager 6223 watches are regularly inspected. During the first quarter Of 1911 5632 watches were com pared withstandard regulators and the general average of thetime kept by these watches show record of nearly per feet. The superintendent of the com pany subject the men to discipline if their watches are not compared and in | spected regularly and the system of watch inspection ol the Southern Pa 1 cific Is now almost perfect. Trains 1 meet trains exactly upon the second | at sidings. and arrivals and depart ures are much more perfect than by former years as is demonstrated by | the recent report of the general su- perintendent of the northern district | to the effect that for the week ending | June 10, 1911, out of 4164 surburban trains arriving at the Oakland pier and | Alameda mole of the company, only 2 | failed to connect with the ferry boats

ANCIENT EXAMPLES OF
 SCIENTIFIC IRRIGATION

Chicago, H., August ,. Especial
 Correspondence of The Republican)-
 There is no irrigation state in the
 West that should be without state
 laws similar to those of Texas rela- tive to drainage districts supplement
 tary to irrigation enterprises, for there
 is no irrigation plant in the United States which would not be greatly
 benefited if the state in which it is developed pursued such a course" George F.. Barstow, of Barstow, Texas, chairman of the Pan-Ameri- can committee of the Nineteenth National Irrigation Congress, which meets here December to 9. thus
 UT ges that one of the important un- doriakings of the Chicago gathering of irrigationists should be to edu-
 cate the people of the nation to the
 importance of state-aided drainage
 for the benefit of settlers on irri- gatioL projects. He asserts that at the December gathering he will seek to have such action taken by the delegates as will interest irrigation states in the idea to the extent that each state may adopt it as an irri- gation statute.
 Some fifteen years ago I began Ito study the question of having a drainage system installed in cOnnec- tiOn with an irrigation plant con sisting of thirty thousand acres which had been reclaimed near Barstow. Texas. The apparent need of this was evidenced by the fact that seep- age water from irrigating the land lodged and remained stagnant in sev- eral draws here and there in the area. To rid this part of the land, which was otherwise most valuable. of this seepage water was the ques- tion.
 The idea of accomplishing this was not original except as it applied to the United States. Babylon and Syria had practiced irrigation by this means in past ages. With this fact. however, as an argument that such methods should be followed in this country, I urged the land owners of the project to join me in establish ing drainage ditches. It was plainly unjust that one man should establish them all.
 After some years the idea of per suading the state legislature to pass q district drainage act was taken up. l. met with ultimate success and now all irrigation plants may properly avail themselves of this valuable prin- ciple along just lines. The act men toned became a law in Texas in January of 1909.
 The land owners under the irri- gation system at Barstow had by that time become so convinced of the value of drainage that they at once occupied themselves in taking fur ther advantage of the legislative act, and installed at large cost a complete drainage system. This has been of untold value to the project as whole. Similar action in other states will certainly bring about greatly beneficial results for irrigation farm CTS and leading irrigationists over the country often have expressed themselves as of the belief that every irrigation state should have a drain age act like that given to Texas"

Those who were present at the time
or shortly before say that the troub-
lie was caused by the jealousy Of the
negro woman. The two had been
keeping company" for some time
but of late Agnew had desehted the
fair charms of Miss Johnson for an
other lady. This aroused tho anger
and jealousy of the discarded sweet
heart and when Agnew appeared at
the place kept by her Monday eve
ming, an alteration followed which
led to the shooting OF Agnew.
Agnew was removed to his room
by the police and the woman arrested
The bullet took effect in Agnew's
stomach. He lived through the night
but breathed his last at an early hour
