 F0R POINTS
Close Contest Between an Auto and a Santa Fe Train. Latter Got the De cision, but Auto Was Up Before the Count

The S. F. P & P train that reached here at 10:45 o'clock last night had a very narrow escape just as it crossed Seventh avenue in the railroad yards. Only for the presence of mind of a young man named R. Wilson, his auto mabile would have pushed it clear off the right of way. Rather than do such a thing Wilson took long chance himself tore up his machine more or less and severely jolted himself and another young man named Smith, who was riding with him. The auto was travelling south on Seventh avenue at d lively rate of speed, the driver un- conscious of the fact that the train was just backing across the street from behind the buildings that con- cealed it from view. When he saw the train he was too near the track 10 stop. The question arose instantly as to which could negotiate the cross ing first. Wilson thought his ma chine could but he was not disposed to put his argument to the test. It was too late to back out but he tried to compromise and possibly the com promise saved his life though it wrecked his car.
 He turned to the left as much as he could without turning over and angled across the track figuring that he could in that way give the train a few feet of distance and make ur loss of time by adding speed and circling it. The plan worked but 1t carried the motor car off the graded street to the parallel tracks in the wards. A front tire hit a rail and blew LID and the velocity of the machine took it across the tracks the train was on, but it tipped up on one side, pin ming Wilson beneath it. Smith fell or jumped clear and came at once to wilson's assistance, lifting the car which was not a large one, off him Neither was severely hurt.

NEW PUBLIC BUILDING
 OF BUCKEYE DISTRICT
Alfalfa Seed has Suffered Little Dam.
 age From Recent Rains

Supervisors Luke and Orme accom- panied by Architect Loescher and Contractor Tucker went down to Buckeye yesterday to make a final and official inspection of the new city hall and jail which the county had ordered built there at cost of s3.OO0. They found that the specifications had been complied with and they found the citizens of the neighbOrhood puffed up with pride over the new public building.
 It had been reported, or rather the fear had been reported, that the alf- alfa seed crop for which Buckeye has been famous for several years, had been greatly damaged by recent rains But this fortunately turns out not to have been the ease There has of course been some damage but it has been so light that it will not greatly reduce the output per acre.
 Concerning reports of smallpox in that section, the supervisors said that there was no alarm and that the dis ease which was found in two or three Mexican families is fully under con- trOl.

USE FOR ANONYMOUS LETTERS

It is a pity that the anonymous letter, by a long alliance with libel and blackmail, has sunk out of reach of the respectable. A force which might have been used for good has thus been lost to the community.
 There is no reason why the anony- nous letter should not have become as necessary a part of our social as the anonymous book review has of our literary life. Criticism, admittedly helpful to the artist, is even more de sirable in the field of manners and morals; yet few individuals in maturi- ty, except those in public life, are sub- jected to this salutary process, al- though it is a commonplace that the older we grow the more we need it. In youth, under our present mild sys- tenn, discipline is primarily criticism; and here no false reticence. on the part of schoolmaster or parent prevents children from knowing whenever they have committed breach of taste or of the ten commandments. For the first fifteen years of their lives they live in the eye of a public, small but conscientiously determined to express the minutest comment But as we
 
 grows fainter and fainter, and it's tones entirely have died away by the time We reach the age when our mistakes may have the most serious conse- quences. Many of the faults of old age are doubtless due to this condition. One of the first uses most of us make of independence is to repel all hostile criticism, to secure ourselves for the future against one touch of that mold ing process which has made us as we are. We become reticent, not to say secretive; refuse to discuss our opin-
 ions and actions with those who disa-
 gree with us, and, in extreme cases,
 withdraw from those friendships in which the faintest flavor of criticism may be detected.
 Many of uS it is true, can count among our nearest and dearest some people of sufficient candor, courage and skill to convey even a disagreeable truth-who. for the sake of the love they bear us, will risk not only pain ful interview, but a possible breach But unhappily, not only are our near est and dearest the last people to see us as we really are, but their utter ances cannot always achieve the ter rible finality of those of an utter stranger.
 And that is where the anonymous letter might be useful-Scribner.

THE NEED OF AN ARTIST,

Do you know what is the great es- sen+ial to the artist-to whoever ere ates? The sense of privacy, the power to isolate his own genius from every thing in the world. to be absolutely concentrated. To create we must be alone have strange unuttered thoughts just as m the realm of the soul every human being must have moments of complete iso11tion-thoughts, reveries, moods. flat cannot be shared with even those we love best. You don't understand that"
 "Yes, I do"
 "At the bottom we human beings come and depart absolutely alone. Friendship. love, all that we instinct ivery seek to rid ourselves of. this aw- fuI solitude of the soul. avail nothing. We'll. what others shrink from the ar list must seek"
