PURE FOODS DISCUSSED

Professor Ross Of the Pare Food
Commission Of Nevada gave out
the following common sense inter-
view to the Churchill Standard:
In speaking Of the work of the
commission he said that one great
trouble to contend with was the
people themselves; that many
times when the merchant tries to
place the pure foods on the market
the purchasers will send them back
because the articles are not what
they have been accustomed to
getting when, as a matter Of fact,
the general public has become so
we'll accustomed to adulterated food
that they imagine there is some
thing wrong when the atultera-
tinns are eliminated. This is found

ready sees that it did not build for the
future, and that it can no more than
comfortably handle the present volume
of business.
The Southern Pacific business has
entirely outgrown its present termi-
nails, and, while plans have been drawn
and estimates submitted for a modern
concrete structure, with much greater
trackage, work will not begin dur
ing the current year, the delay no
doubt, being due to the great amount
of money necessary to operate the
line during the recent labor troubles

Il. d Prs Fine Terminal.
The Texas & Pacific railway has
just completed a modern steel and con-
crete freight terminal building, which
has every facility for the safe and
prompt handling of freight. The build

in pressed brick with stone trim

this can be remedied after the re-
sumption of business in the troubled
section, is a problem which is worry
ing the railways not little. 1t seems
to be the opinion that in a short time
another location must be found where
a much larger building can be erected
and space had for sufficient trackage
to allow the business to be handled
without delays.
The union station management sees
the necessity of additional trackage
to properly handle passenger trains
without delay, and this VIII probably

time Not MANY realize the number
of passengers handled through the
union station that either start OF COM,
plete their journey here, to say nothing
of the through travel which passes
through its gates, but when it is con-
sidered that the ticket sales of one
railway line for one month this year
amounted to more than $4,000 it can
be more nearly appreciated.

chased in this city, following out the
policy of that company to favor FL

this company will benefit this city in
many ways. not the least being that

North Western Extensions.
The Mexico North Western a short
time ago relaid its line between II
Paso and Casas Grandes with heavy
rails preparatory to handling a heavy
tonnage, and the trouble in Mexico
recently stopped construction work on
the Chuichupa branch, which is to be
40 kilometers in length. The same
trouble forced out of the field the en-
gineers who were locating a line to be
built from Pearson to Douglas, AriZ.,
distance Of approximately zoo kllo-
meters. An early resumption OF work
is expected The construction Of these
lines is of material benefit to this
city After the completion of the Pear
son-DOuglas line, the next extension TO
be considered will be that down tho
Rio YaQui valley to TOnichi, Sonora
Road to PecOs valley.
One OF the big things for the future

handled under cover, and the wagon
runways are to be paved. At the rear
of the building will be a car transfer
platform, where through freight which
must be transferred, can be handled in
a most expeditions manner. The team
track, from which car loads are hand
led for city delivery, has a capacity
of SIS cars, and the wagon runway will
be paved to the street paving. AS an
illustration Of the care taken to have
this terminal building modern in every
respect, it may be mentioned that all
the guttering and drain work is OF
copper, and the concrete roof covering
the warehouse is placed on rollers to
overcome the contraction and expan-
sion caused by the heat and cold. All
the material and every article used in
the construction and furnishing OF
this building was purchased in FL

MUNICIPAL COURT NOTES.

Mike Welch, who is employed on the

Monday to charge of being drunk and
disorderly. Judge Hall imposed fine of
81 and costs, S5.44, which was promptly
paid.
Alvin Webster was arrested by Night
Officer Mitchell Tuesday of last week,
charged with being drunk and disorderly.
He pleaded guilty in the Ellsworth mu-
nicipal court, and was sentenced by Judge

in Jail, with ten days additional impris-
onment in default of fine.
Edward Mcfarland, of Bar Harbor,
celebrated his discharge from the county

Ellsworth brand of contraband goods.
Before night he was back in familiar
quarters in the Jail. He pleaded guilty
yesterday, and was sentenced to fine OF
S. and costs. Judge Hall suspended exc
cution of sentence, and MIR. Mcfarland

Automobiles Collide.

The automobiles of John o. Whitney, of
Ellsworth. and John Norris, of Bangor,
collided on the old Bangor road, short
distance beyond the woolen mill, early
Sunday evening. Mr.. Whitney was driv-
ing his large Eanier car and Mr.. Norris,
who had been visiting his brother Chester,
was driving his Overland roadster.
The cars met at turn in the narrow
road, where bushes hid the road beyond,
and the occupants of neither car could see
the othe until the cars were close upon
each other. Mr.. Whitney swung his car
into the ditch as far as he dared go, while
Mr.. Norris in turning out struck large
rock at the side of the road which swerved
his car back into the road.
The cars met in glancing blow, which
crumpled up the mud-guards on both cars
and sprung the frame and axle of Mr..
Norris car. Fortunately both cars were
running at moderate speed, or the occu-
pants could hardly have escaped severe in
juries. As it was none of the occupants
was thrown from the cars, though Mr.
Norris sister, who was with him, received
severe bruises.
The accident calls attention to the need
OF cutting the bushes and underground
from the sides of the country roads at al
turns and narrow places, so that ap-
preaching automobiles or teams may bt
seen for some distance. Last year the city
did this at several danger points, though
| it is understood there is no State law re-
| curing it. Drivers of automobiles art
now advocating State law to require this
| 1t would also be well to limit by law the
speed at which automobiles may take
turns beyond which the road cannot bt
seen for specified distance.

serves Birthday.
Ex-Chief- Justice Lucilius A. Emery was
seventy-two years of age last Saturday,
and the event was observed in quiet way
at his beautiful home in Ellsworth-"Fir-
lands"
Judge Emery has not been in the best
of health for some weeks past, and for
that reason is passing the summer here in
stead of at his summer cottage at Hancock
Point, as is his custom.
With him for the day besides Mrs.
Emery--whose health, by the way, is, her
hosts of friends will be glad to learn,
greatly improved were his daughter, Mrs.
F. G. Ailinson, of Providence, r. L., Prof.
Allinson, Daniel Crosby, Mrs. Emery's
brother, and Mrs. NJ. c. Hammatt, Mrs.
Emery's sister, of Topeka, Kansas.
A year ago in Bangor the members of
the Maine bar gave to the retiring chief
justice parting banquet. 1t marked the
close of many years upon the bench OF the
State, the last four of which had been as
its head
Since then Judge Emery has devoted
himself to rest, recreation and such work
as his health would permit.
Among his plans for the future is the
preparation of judicial history of Maine.
This will take up the story of the courts of
the State from the time when it was part
of Massachusetts to the present. 1t will
show the evolution of methods of practice
and will be profuse with personal recol-
lections of members Of the court during
the life of the author. These, OF them
selves, will be valuable. They will be of
exceptional interest, for the active life OF
the writer embraced fifty years. 31e
also proposes 10 do what he can to
bring about further changes in legal pro-
cedure in Maine, having for their object
the fastening of legal actions to a termi-
nation.
