WANT GOVERNOR TO
INVESTIGATE ACCIDENT

Bandon citizens have petitioned
Governor West to investigate the acci-
dent which recently occurred on a
logging railroad near that place, in
which seven men lost their lives. A
log train crashed through a trestle
which was 1O5 feet high.
The governor has referred the petit
ton to the state railroad commission
but the latter disclaim Jurisdiction in
the case, because the road is not a
common carrier. Certain Of the peti-
TONERS stated in the communication
that they believed the builders of the
road we're common carriers, and that
in their opinion, the commission
would have power in the matter

know nothing about American ways
of doing business. Then he starts a

first decoration of an Italian grocery
window is a string Of garlic As he
prospers the strings become more
numerous. Soon all the windows in
front are festooned with them. To
the ignorant Italian these strings
look like strings of real money. The
Italian immigrant is a peculiarly gull

Garlic as
Evidence
Of Wealth

Chicago, Nov. 30.-Be thankful; a
neat, new way to sidestep the heroic
sacrifice of a square foot or so of
ones skin for grating operations has
been provided by the success reported
by a Chicago surgeon who utilized
the cuticle of dog. Instead Of show
ing nerve enough to be skinned alive
for a dear friend who happened to be
a bit shy of cuticle, one can suggest
to the surgeon who invites ones con-
tributlons, that he has not kept quite
posted on such matters and would
better look into the dog-skin ques-
ton. The chances are that will work
just as we'll and be much more pain
less--to you. Moreover, you can save
your face as we'll as your skin. How
the canine pets will come to look
upon surgical feats of this new sys-
TEN is not hard to surmise, The first
dog to try it was a skye terrier and
he prefers dog catchers to the surgeon
who got him into the scrape. To
cover a wound on the arm of Wis
cOnsin woman, a large section Of skin
was wanted, and her friends were re-
lieved to learn that her surgeon had
a new plan for supplying it. After
ward the patient took the dog home
with her to be a pet. eve had to
keep the skin and flesh alive while
we transferred it from the dog to our
patient" said the surgeon who per-
formed the operation; $50 we sewed
two-thirds of the skin on the arm and
left the remaining one-third on the
dog Then we bound the dog and pa
tient together in a plaster cast and

Mexico Will 30 Stopped.

Washington, March 13-President
Taft today pointed out to members of
the foreign relations committee OF. the
Texas congressional delegation at a
conference at the White House that the
neutrality laws Of the United States
were not specific enough, and is re-
ported to have said that unless con-
gress enacted new measures it would
be difficult to preserve peace with
Mexico.
The president appealed to this COM
mittee to help him preserve peace by
preventing neutrality law violations
and suggested that some steps be taken
at once for the enactment Of moro
adequate measures.
The conference was direct result OF
the appeal of President Madero that
the United States put into effect a
stricter neutrality in Texas.
After the conference the senate COM
mittee on foreign relations held 9
meeting and framed a joint resolution
which would prohibit the shipment Of
arms from the United States into any
state on the American continent which
Is in q condition Of disorder. The
resolution would impose heavy penal
ties, the intention being to make 1t i'm
mediately applicable to the Mexican
situation. The resolution was adopted
unanimously in committee and was re-
ported to the senate Immediately.
