feet recently, the Emeryville and every
other race track in California have
been closed tight as tar. Horse racing
in this state, with a history as long as
its civilization, will stop on account Of
a law which no more interferes with
the running of horses in competition
than it inEibits the annual speed trial
of this earth on its orbital track.
For, while horse racing may be the
sport of kings, it is the business of
betting men.
What the Walker-Young law does
is to prohibit under penalty of a Jail
sentence, betting or wagering upon the
result or purported result of any trial,
or purported trial, or contest or pur-
ported contest, of skill, speed or power
of endurance Of man or beast, or be-
tween men, beasts or mechanical ap-
paratus, or upon the result, or purport-
ed result, of any lot, chance. casualty,
unknown or contingent event whatso-
ever"
betting on horseraces, oral or written,
and the scope of the law is so extensive
that the owners or lessees of property
on which betting is done are equally
culpable with the betters.
That ends racing in California. The
''puritans" have cut off the head of the
''ldng."

morals, with Senator Walker and AS

ageous point for good shooting, leaving
him there. About ten minutes later a
flight of sprig came in, according to
Brown, just 100000 of them coming
straight at him at mile-a-minute
clip. He raised his gun to shoot just
as a big sprig flew against it, knocking
it out of his hands caromed off
Browns head and another one struck
him squarely in the chest, knocking
him down. He jumped up just as a big
one whizzed past his ear.
According to Overall Brown was
yelling:
''Take me out, take me out"

and helped him up. Brown was dazed.

McGRAw PICKS ONE GOOD BET.
Six to Five Against Connie Mack Best
on Louisville Card,

Six to Five Against Connie Mack Best
on Louisville Card.
Marlin, Tex, March 1o.-"The only
good bet on the card" said Manager
McGraw of the Few York Nationals
yesterday as he looked over the prices
laid against the clubs of both big
leagues by a Louisville future book
concern, lis the 6 to 5 offered against
Connie Macks athletics in the Ameri-
can league.
Most of the other prices are false
odds. They have the Giants quoted as
to g., favorites in the National league.
while we ought to be about to 1, with
the Cubs at the top of the list.
Just because Chances team was
beaten in the worlds championship
last fall is no reason why they should
not have first call in the betting this
fall. I may have different ideas on
how the race will result, but on past
performances the Cubs should be
favorites.
six to five, though, is not too short
a price against the Athletics. They
won the American league pennant and
the worlds championship last year
without half trying and with a team
that ought to be even better this sea-
son. The Tigers, though they finished
third a year ago, are naturally second
choicers.

good ball club in the New York Amer
leans, but Detroit is the logical betting
choice for second place"

The Chilean and Argentine govern

meet the two republics by another
railway some 400 miles north of the
present Transandean railway between
Valparaiso and Buenos Aires. 1t is
proposed to have this line of the same
gauge all the way, thus avoiding the
transfer of freight as is the case via
the present Transandean line. This
line would require a tunnel of only
I1.64O feet to pierce the Andes at the
point selected, and only about thirty
six miles of road is needed to connect
it with the longitudinal railway now
building and the port of Caldera,
which would bring the farms of Ar

of Chile than the present route,

NEW r. I. ST. LOUIS TERMINALS.
Improvement Will Cost $4,000 When
COmpleted.

The new Rock Island terminal yards
at North st. Louis, being built under
the name of 1.-THE Rock Island Frisco
Terminal Railway company at an es-
timated cost of $250,O0O. is nearing COM
pletion.
The work was started the latter part
of June. 1910, and was carried on at a
considerable disadvantage at first, due
to the lack of sidetracks on which ma
terial and equipment might be stored
and also to the fact that everything
had to be handled into the yard over
the st. Louis Terminal company's rails.
The grading consisted of $4,000 cubic
yards of earth fill, which was taken out
by steam shovel from a cut on Termi-
nal Railway company property, and
handled by work trains about three or
four miles to the yards.
The completed yard comprises 13
storage tracks with a capacity of 500
cars; 10 repair tracks with a working
capacity of $50 cars; one scale track;
one caboose track; two warehouse
tracks; one cinder pit and two coaling
tracks.
Sand and cinders are being used for
ballasting, something over $1,000
cubic yards of sand and 1900 yards
of cinders having been put under the
tracks to date.

IN LOOKING over drops.
San Bernardino, Cal. March 10.-A
new departure of the Wells-Farg in
this section has reached the local Of
fees and brings a new man on new
mission into the orange belt.
The office is that of industrial agent
and is being copied from similar de-
partments which have been establish
ed on transcontinental lines.
The business of the new industrial
agent will be to watch every section
of the country, over which he has
jurisdiction, what crops are planted,
how they are planted, and how they
are growing, the time when they will
be ready for market, how best and
quickest to get them to market and
the best market in which to place
them for the benefit of the grower or
shipper. Incidentally, the industrial
agent is expected to furnish a lot of in
formation to the farmer and fruit
grower. The position promises to be
one of the most important ever created
by an express company.

SMALL EQUIPMENT ORDERS.
But Requests for Steel and Wire Help

But Requests for Steel and Wire Help
Out the Market.
- New York, March 1O.-Sma4 orders
for railroad equipment and supplies
We're placed last week and similar in
qulr1es now are more numerous than
at any other time in six months. SuS-
pended shipments on rails, because of
the adverse freight rate decision, were
countermanded, and cancellations of
other railroad orders were nullined.
Rail orders were received from do
meSt1c lines aggregating q 900 tons. ex-
port orders called for 10000 tons, and
Canadian railroads ordered $4,000 tons
from home mills. The significance of
the latter business is that the Domin-
ion mills are now sold up ard that
other Canadian rail orders-20,000 to
10000 tons-may come to this eoun-
try.
The Pan-American railway of Uru-
quay has ordered only 5000 tons TINS
far, but is negotiating for $4,000 tons
additional. Other prospective export
orders will call for as much more.
Domestic roads are negotiating for
100000 tons, including 10000 tons for
the Hartman lines.
Recent large orders for wire prod
ucts, black sheets and tubes soon will
lead to an advance of dollar a ton,
but low prices were again made las.
week for fabricated structural steel
with keen competition for business.
Bookings of the subsidiary companies
of the steel corporation in February
seem to have exceeded shipments at an
average of $4,000 tons a day, indicating
an increase of 1872 600 tons in untitled
orders. Active capacity was increas-
ed to 20 per cent.

BLOOD TROUBLES
CONSTITUTIONAL NFECTI0N

Constitutional Blood Poison is the
most insidious of all diseases. It
begins in an insignificant manner,
usually the appearance of tiny sore
being the only outward evidence of its
presence. But down in the blood the
treacherous infection is at work, and
in a short time its chain of symptoms
begin to crop out. The mouth and
throat u1cerate, skin eruptions break
out, sores and ulcers appear on the
body, the glands in the groin swell,
and sometimes the hair comes out.
Mineral medicines cannot cure Con-
stitutiona1 Blood Poison; they only
shut the disease up in the system to
shoulder and await an opportunity OF
breaking out afresh. The only pos
sible way to cure the disease is to
REMOVE the germs from the blood.
S. S. S. goes into the blood, and while
removing the infection makes the
blood pure, fresh and healthy. This
