DRIED AN INLAND SEA

In 1906 the Colorado river broke
through its banks and inundated
thousands of acres of land in South
Iern California, threatened the expen-
sive Laguna dam of the government
and caused hundreds Of families to
become homeless. The rush Of the
waters was SO great that quick action
was urgent and the then president
OF the United States, Theodore Roose-
welt, requested the Southern Pacific
company to aid both the government
and the stricken people in that terri
tory. This the Southern Pacific com
pany did.
The work was accomplished swiftly
and capably. The Southern Pacific
expended $1,s36,367 In stopping this
rush Of mad water. Ever since that
time--six years ago--the claim Of
the railroad for reimbursement has
been before tho government. There
is now before congress bill, intro
duced by Representative Smith Of
California, calling for such reimburse
ment, less the sum OF $552,6s3. O3,
which the government engineer in
sists should be eliminated, that sum
representing the difference between
the commercial rate on the material
hauled to the scene Of the trouble,
and what Is known as the rate
charged for railroad material. No
account is taken Of the interest on
this vast sum, which. up to and in

Cooperative Not to Move.

The Wayne County COOPERATIVE
Association are not going to move
into the Cortright store and have
decided to stay in their Main street
store for the present. The Cooper
atiye Association had signed a lease
for one year starting April 1st for
the Cortright store, but it seems
that the term of he present leasee,
B. l.. Holbert, did not expire until
May /, Conrad and Williams having
signed an ironclad S-year lease in the
meantime for the Richmond store,
the present location of the Co-Opera-
tive Association, it made things look
rather bad for the COOPERATIVE AS
sociation, but Conrad and Williams
have decided not to go into business
and were therefore glad enough to re-
lease the store to the Cooperative
Association.

Our Annual Sick Bill.

According to Prof Fisher, in
Hampton's Magazine, 100000 per-
sons in Uncle Sans domain answer
the sick call every morning. This
estimate he bases upon the well
known rule of DR.. William Farr, of
England, that for each death per
year there are two cases of illness.
In the United States there were in
the year 1907, the year upon which
Prof. Fisher based his figures, l.
100000.
OF these 100000 invalids about
100000 are suffering from tubercu-
losis, preventable disease. One
half of these tuberculosis patients
are totally incapacitated. the re-
mainder about so per cent. effective
as workers. Every return of a pull
monary case, every case of incipient
tuberculosis nipped in the pleurisy
bud, every patient saved from the
hospitals for chronic invahds by the
social service arm is a step toward
the reduction of that awful total.
According to Prof. Fisher, all lives
are useful when judged by the hard
and fast rule of average, which takes
account of every individual from the
vagrant up to the railroad president.
and cents he puts at $4,000, and the
average value of the 100000 dying
every year from preventable diseases
at $1,700. The latter figure is lower
than the general average in order to
equalize the higher average age of
the dying. These 100000 prevent
able deaths therefore represent an
economic loss to the country every
year of over $1,000, 100000 in po-
tential earnings.
The loss from illness not resulting
in death is even greater. OF the 81
100000 sick folks 100000 are in
the working period, about three
fourths of these actually workers.
These workers must lose, from day
laborer to railroad president, an av-
erage of 800 in wages per year.
making the total loss from illness
$500, 100000. Adding to this an
other 500,0OO,0O0 expended in
medicines, special foods, ct cetera,
We find Uncle Sans total doctor bill
every year to amount to $1,OO0,0OO,-
600, about one-half of which is pre-
Ventable.

The reports are all in from Wayne

number of births in the county was
$50 while the deaths numbered only

registrars of vital statistics from the
various districts are as follows;
w. c. Knapp, registrar, of Haw-
ley, Paupack, Palmyra, ,CherryRidge
and South Canaan, reports Sc deaths

chester and buckingham township,
reports 32 deaths and 35 births.

KILLED BY BOX CAR
Supposed to Have Been Murdered but
Friend Tells Police of Accident.
Especial to The CitizenO

Avoca, April q Miss Louisa
Burns, aged II years, a Moosic young
lady, was found dead this morning
lying on the Delaware and Hudson
tracks under a freight car. Death is
supposed to have been caused by the
wheels of a car passing over her
body. An overcoat was found near
the remains. An Avoca youth is sus-
pected. Miss Burns was a daughter
of Samuel Burns and took music les
sons in Moosic. She walked between
the two places and always took the
railroad track.
Later-A bulletin from Wilkes
Barre received at o'clock this af-
ternoon states that Raymond Curl,
aged 1S years, of Avoca, was arrest
ed by the Avoca police on suspicion
of knowing something about the af-
fair. He stated that he accompanied
Louisa down the track and after
walking some distance they sat down
upon rail under a box car. He
claims that an engine bumped into
the car and she was run down by the
wheels. He stated that he too near
ly met like fate. When he discov-
cred what had happened he claims
that he became frightened, left his
overcoat behind and ran away. The
police believe Curl told a straight
story and he was later released. He
is son of silk manufacturer and
an exemplary young man.

BILL TO KILL CONVENTIONS.
Cummins Offers Plan for National
Presidential Primaries.

Washington, ID. c., April g.
Senator Cummings of Iowa, an an
nounced progressive Republican can
didate for the Presidential nomina-
tion, to-day introduced a nationwide
primary elections bill which would
make unlawful and prohibit both
the Republican and Democratic ma
ional conventions in June. 1t pro-
vides for national primary July 8.
The Senator hopes to have it become
a law Its passage at this session of
Congress is declared by many to be
doubtful.
The plan of Senator Cummins is to
have national primary July 8, to be
followed each four years with a ma
tional primary election upon the sec
ond Monday of July. The results of
such primary election would be can
vassed by a national board for pri-
mary elections, and the candidate of
each political party receiving the
greatest number of votes would be
certified by that board as the candi-
date to be voted upon in the No
vember elections.
The bill would require primary
elections of candidates for President,
Vice-President and Presidential cleo
tors. The names of candidates on
the primary ballot, under the bill
would be arranged in separate col
umns for each party, with one col
umn headed " Independent of par
ty." All candidates would be re-
quired to file their nomination pa
pers As days prior to the primary
to have their names appear on the
ballots

Portsmouth, N. H., April 2.-Zep
Nichols was arrested here last night
charged with drunkenness. He
startled the police court by confess
ing to the murder of DR.. Helen
knabe in Indiana last October.
Nichols told the police that he was
a sailor on the United States Dixie
and was visiting in Indiana at the
time. While there he stated that he
met a man by the name of Knight
who Nichols says offered him 81 500
to kill the Indiana doctor. Knight
led Nichols to the home of DR.. Knabe
and it was in her home that Nicols
claims he slashed her throat from ear
to ear with a knife. The police are
now looking for knight.
1t was thought at the time that
DR.. Knabe committed suicide, but
since NicoIs confession it is clear
enough that she was murdered. A
knife was found lying by her side,
which gave the impression of a self
inflicted wound.
