J. |. WILCOX. CROSSES OVER.

A letter from George H.
RamsdrlI dated at San Francisco
December 18th says:
1T is my sad duty to inform you
that j. L Wilcox died here at the
Hotel Netherlands, somewhere
between . I'D 6 o'clock Sunday
morning, December 18th.
He was alone when he passed
away, ard imagine | saw him
last Of any ere, as ] was with him
Saturday evening until s o'clock."
Mr.. Wilcox formerly conducted
an upholstering business in the
building now occupied by the o.
K. Repair Shop. He left here
several months ago and went to
San Francisco in the hope that
the lower altitude would relieve
the heart trouble from which he
was suffering. In 1910, he was
candidate for justice of the peace
of Elko. but was defeated.
He was an industrious man and
although crippled by the loss of
one of his legs made his way in
the world and won the respect and
confidence Of our people. His
many friends here will regret to
learn of his death.
May his last. long rest be
peaceful.

REBUILDING {. 8 P. R. R

The Palisade correspondent Of
the Eureka Sentinel wrote as
follows on the 18th, regarding the
progress of the work on the
Eureka & Palisade Railroad:
The work of rebuilding the
Eureka & PaIisade Railroad has
been considerably delayed during
the p.st 10 days on account of the
non-arrival here of the rails for
laying down the track. The track
has only been completed for a dis
lance of about two an q half miles
cut of Palisade, from which point
the building of the road IS being
delayed for want Of rails. The
work of building the bridge across
Pine Creek is progressing slowly,
but most of the piling work
through the canyon is yet to be
done. II is said that just about
half OF the work Though Palisade
canyon has been finished.
The steel rails-35 pounds-are
to be furnished by the rolling mill
at Pueblo Colorado, and the con.
tractors here have been notified
that good sized shipment Of these
rails was delivered to the Rio
Grand Railroad the first Of this
..:veek and are cue to arrive at
~alisade any day now.
In the meantime. the men, teams
and scrapers Of the grading outfits
are strung out as far as Blackburns,
where q new construction camp
was established last Saturday.
The grading work has been rom.
pleted for about four miles out Of
Palisade and the construction camp
at the Stump Ranch has been
moved to a new point further up
the road.
About rs men are now en-
ploysd.

WHERE WOMEN RULE

The Hopi Indians. who are max
ing considerable trouble just now
by their refusals to send their
children to the government
schools. are an interesting survival
of state of soriety which anthro-
poligists tell US, preceded the
present "and rocentric" stage.
Among the Hopis an agitation for
mems rights would be quite in
order, for the women enjoy that
supremacy of authority and
ownership which among the people
called CIVILIZED telon: to the men.
"ln the Chaco Canyon, in north
western New Mexico" says
Edward S. Curtis, the historian of
the American Indi an, there are
today many villages, or, as they
were originally called. pueblos,. in.
which the women rule. The
HopiS are agriculturalists and
home builders, and while the men
do the heavier work Of building,
the houses are owned by the
women. In like manner the corn
is planted and tended to by men,
but after it is garncred the hu$-
band cannot legally sell or trade it
without the consent of the wife.
I'm the matter of divorce the
Hopi wife needs neither lawyer
nor court. She has the laws of the
clan or tribe behind her. If the
husband does not fulfil his mar
riage obligations according to the
established code he will find upon
his return from the fields that the
door of his house is closed against
him and that is personal belongings
are more or less carefully depos
tied outside. He then realizes that
a decree of divorce has beer
granted to his wife, and to argue
the question then and there would
be a needless waste of time and
loss of dignity. He can, if he
objects to his summary dismissal
ask for a family council on the
matter. with the respective clan.
represented, for arbitration. Ii
that event he may hope for assist
ance from his wife's clan, but no
from his own. If he loses on ap
peal, he simply returns to his owr
clan and the children remain with
the wife. The children trace
their descent through the mother
clan. never through the fathers.
Women of this tribe have
many secret orders to which mer
cannot belong, and there are man,
dances in which only women car
participate.
