figures of last week.
The opening was steady at an ad-
vance of to 10 points in response
to higher cables and the general list
sold about ten to thirteen points net
higher during the first few minutes
of covering of shorts and buying OF
near months by trade interests who
were said to be taking up January

bales. There was also good demand
here from houses with Liverpool con-
neCtiuns and the market made quite
a steady showing during the first hour.

Here are the main points in the ac-
tion brought by the government
against the Southern Pacific and 9th.
ers to recover lands valued at $780,
600, 900.
That the defendants be enjoined
from asserting any right in the lands
in question:
That the defendants be enJoined
from going on these lands or from
moving anything away from them.
That the defendants be enjoined
from pleading the statute of limi-
tatlons;
That the defendants give an Item
lied account Of the minerals remov-
ed from the lands:
That receiver be appointed to
take possession of the lands and all
property thereon with power to con-
tinuo the operation Of these lands.
The suit differs radically as TO pro-
cedure from the Elk Hills case. but
the aim is the same in both cases,
VIZ: TO dispossess the railroad com
pany Of oil lands alleged to have been
unlawfully acquired At least two
others will be filed very shortly. This
covers Coallnga and vicinity What
the others will cover win be known
only when they are nled.
II has been necessary to make CO.
defendants all leasing railroad land,
as this is Southern Pacific holdings
which will go back to the same
whenever the leases run out or are
forfeited or surrendered. However,
no action is taken against those who
bought oil lands from the railroads
and have purchased the title outright.
Thus. it seems clear that the gov
crnment is not after any innocent
third parties and will not seek to
enforce the mineral exception where
the railroad has ceased to have any
interest This point should be
noted 10y individuals seeking to dis,
possess such holders 1t seems clear
that the government is not going to
help them out There are number

Arizona sentinel and Yuma weekly examiner., 1912-08-08

1 After a slight diminution of the fe- yer, complete paralysis of one or more of the limbs supervenes After a day or two the acute symptoms clear up, but there is left behind more or less muscular weakness which generally amounts to actual paralysis, the legs mortality is high, and the proportion of complete recoveries very low, 75 to 90 per cent of the recovered victims being more or less crippled for life
 Paralysis is due to the attack of the disease on the spinal cord, and in some of it's manifestations resembles those of cerebro spinal meningitis. The section controlling the motor nerves is in part destroyed by the progress of the disease.
 Experiments have proved that the disease is a germ disease and easily transferable. The source of infection, in most cases, is the discharge from the mucous membranes of the nose and throat; and it is believed that the or ganism reaches the body by the same route. This immediately suggests as a preventive the disinfection of the nasal passages by suitable germicidal washes. Patients known to have or suspected of having the disease, should be isolated and screened for a period of at least three weeks. All discharges should be disinfected and the premises fumigated with formaldehyde
 Care should be observed in eating and in the sources of the food supply; and the system should be kept in good condition, and children especially should be guarded from over-heating or over-exertion. With these obser- vations, let us hope that the people of Yuma may be spared the visitation of Anterior Poliomyehtis, or Infantile Paralysis.
