METCALF ROAD ID BE EXPENSIVE
 PROPOSITION
Some Contractors Say That Cost of Road According to Specifications of County Surveyor Will Reach
 Sum of Forty Thousand.

In the event that Greenlee County constructs proposed road between Clifton and Metcalf according to the plans and specifications drawn by County Surveyor Tunis it will cost the county between thirty and forty thousand dollars. One intending con- tractor, who has had some experience in this kind of work, made the state ment this week that the actual cost would be approximately thirty-seven thousand dollars.
 When the question of building the wagon road to Metcalf was first brought forward by Supervisor Camp bell, of Metcalf, it was estimated that the cost of the road could be kept within the limit of fifteen thousand dollars. But careful inspection of the plans and specifications according to the intending bidders, show a much greater cost. County Surveyor Tunis says that his plans and specifications will insure a good road and one that will be permanent. He is of the opin- ion that the road will be built for much less than thirty thousand dol lars.

New York-Naturalists all over the

in a beach some 400 yards long by 80

remarkable marine mammals existing

dogs and the success of the expert.
ment that reports have been officially
asked for by the various European mil
itary authorities concerning the spe-
clal training of the dogs.
For several years perfectly trained
police dogs have been found Invaluable
In Paris and they have been assigned
TO important duties. All along the
banks Of the Seine dogs watch for ac-
cidents. II a careless passenger or an
unwary boatman falls off one OF the
many boats and barges plying con
stantly up and down the Seine one OF
the big, beautiful Newfoundland river
guards bounds into the water 10 the
rescue, barking to give the alarm and
often swimming with the limp body to
the shore. Even the bridges are close
iy watched by the dogs, for from the
Seine bridges many despairing men
and women leap into the river. hoping
thus to end their misery.
1t is now believed that countless
railway wrecks due to deliberate de
sign could be prevented if railroad sec
tons were policed by dogs. Their eff
ficacy in this duty has been unques
tionably proved in the Balkan war.
Dogs are now used to escort prison
ers to and from Jail in Paris. They
will courageously attack their enemy
even when fred upon, as a notorious
bandit found to his cost during a re-
cent struggle to escape while being
conveyed to trial. This is a result
obtained by careful training.
How to defend his master is another
important lesson taught the police dog.
The dog must snarl and bite as soon
ms an attempt to hold up his master is
made. In this the police dog is de
veloping marvellous qualities.
Guarding property is another Of the
police dogs duties, and in this also
he has proved himself an adept. Ar
ticles left in his care are safe and
faithfully watched.
His moral training forms as much of
a police dogs education as his pro
fessional lessons. He is taught to be
honest and faithful and not to accept
a bride. The latter Is important be-
cause poisoned meat is often offered
to these dogs. The police dog soon
learns to eat nothing but what his
master seryes him and is an example

and many of them did not raise their
heads from the sand until closely APP
preached, although wide awake. When
driven from a comfortable resting
place they would soon settle down,
and, after throwing sand on their
backs with their front fippers, become
quiet again. Both young and old have
sand when settling down to rest. The
females, although but little molested,
appeared to be even more passive than
the males. Some of the large males
after being driven into the sea soon
returned.
The most striking and remarkable
feature of this animal, and from which
it takes its name, is a curious ~elongat-
ed trunk or snout which attains a
length equal to the remainder Of the
head. This thick and heavy append
age has a length Of ten inches or more
forward from the canine teeth and is
fibrous and fieshy throughout. When
fully expanded it exhibits three bulg-
ing transverse folds On top separated
by deep grooves. The trunk is not
capable of initiation, but is retracted
into heavy folds on top OF the head by
muscular action. This sncut is some
what protrusible, but when not
elongated hangs in a pendulous fash
ion over the mouth; when sleeping it
rests upon the sands, a ~shapeless

SPEED THE RAILROADS. CURSE
Writer Claims That Sole Aim of the
Employe Seems to Be to Make
Up Lost Time.

FXsessive speed has always been the
underlying curse Of the railroad bust
ness, writes Albert w. Atwood in the
American Magazine. Employees do not
consider it professional to be careful
Their one aim is to make up time. The
whole theory OF railroad operation is
based on getting more speed than the
conditions warrant. The moment ar
-engineman reports for duty he is bur,
ried. With watch and time card in
hand he waits impatiently to gel
started. He is officially instructed tc
be careful and not go at excessive
speeds, but, owing to the innumerable
delays and small happenings, it is
practically impossible for him tc
make his schedules without speeding
Then, too, to use the words of a re
cent report of the interstate com
merce commission. the remarkable in
crease in the speed and weight OF
trains In recent years, and the crowd
ing of tracks and terminals caused
by movement of the enormously en-
larged volume of railroad traffic
have greatly increased the duties OF
employees and multiplied the chances
Of error on their part. OF course, il
an employe meets with an accident
he Is damned and the company points
to its rules. but if he always runs
carefully ard keeps down speed, anc
