SUCCESSFUL HORSE RACE
Crowd of 700 Gathered at Riv-
erside Park Saturday.
FIVE Fhst Races Pulled or under AUS
pieces of Burlington Driving club
Horses from All over North
crn Vermont In Field.

Horse racing came back strong to Bur
linrton Saturday afternoon when the
matinee races at Riverside Park drew n
crowd of more than 700 people and near
~ everyone stayed until the five fast
races were completed. 1t Is a long time
since horses have drawn a similar crowd
In this territory and the remarkable sue
cess of the meet will result in another
being held week from next Saturday.
The field of horses was excellent and In
terest and excitement ran high The track
was a trifle slow on account or the
rains of the preceding night but that did
not interfere with the closeness Of the
races.
The verdict of all who went out to the
park is universal in praise of the meet
and the manner in which the affair was
handled won approval from all sides.
j. l.. Powers was in charge of the entries
and to him belongs tho credit for getting
such q field together Blankets were
given for prizes along with some other
things, but the horse owners who came
from the surrounding country as far as
the Canadian line wanted to win for the
sake of winning. rather than to obtain
TIE prizes. Tho race which created as
much interest as any was that between

REAL cAusEFoR ALARM.

Smith had just been operated on for appendicitis. During his period of convalesence he became quite chummy with the other two patients who shared the ward with him.
 How are you feeling, boys?" said Smith one morning to them.
 ''Oh, we are ali right" they both answered together, considering that we had to undergo two operations"
 Why, how was that?" questioned Smith, in an agitated voice.
 Because the doctor assigned to this ward is an idiot. In collecting his instruments after the operation, he missed needle and a pair of scis- sors. The former he found in me, and the latter in my friends here on the right. You see now the reason for the two operations.
 Just then the surgeon put his head in at the door and asked:
 Has anyone seen my silk hat?

Colon, c. Eff you wish to hear language" just say "Cucaracha" to one of the engineers engaged in build ing the central division of the Panama canal
 Cucaracha in Spanish means a cockroach. In the Canal Zone 1t means the greatest of the numerous slides that have made the completion of the Culebra cut so different and SO expensive. Why that slide was named Certainly even the Panamanian cock roach is not so large. and he moves much more swiftly.
 Before the first French company quit operations in 1889 the Cucaracha began to slide, and it first gave the Americans trouble in 1905, the second year of their work on the canal Be tween then and July 1, 1912, nearly 100000 cubic yards of material was removed from the canal because of it. The slide had broken nearly 1900 feet from the axis of the canal. and covered an area of AT acres. Last fall the engineers were congratulating themselves on having the cockroach stopped. but in January 1t started moving again. and nearly covered the bottom of the cut ya
 What is going to be the cost of that slide to the United Statesr' I asked Colonel Goethals as we stood at the edge of the Culebra cut and look ed across the chasm to where the steam shovels and hundredS of men were laboring to remove the vast mass of earth and rock.
 Well" the chief engineer replied, "our estimate is that by the time 1t Is all cleared up it will have required the expenditure of about 45,00o, 900 more than the cut would have cost if the slide had not occurred It is still nov ing, and kss broken 50 far back that

BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION AT

L. l.. Odle, superintendent of the Fort Yuma Indian school, who is holding $25,000 government money as third share toward the building of the Colorado bridge at Yuma, has re- ceived another inquiry from the De- partment of Indian Affairs as to when construction is going to begin, and when California is going to put up her $25,00O for the interstate bridge as Arizona has done.
 The supervisors of Imperial county have subscribed S7,000 of California s $25,000, but the resx of the California guarantee must be made before Sep tember 15 or the supervisors cannot place the amount in the budget for the years taxation assessment

EoR ARrEsiAN WATER.

TUCSON.-As the result of a letter sent to the chamber of commerce by Prof. R. H. Forbes, director of the university agricultural experiment sta tion at Tucson, it is probable that no work will be done in the near future toward drilling for artesian water in the Sulphur Springs valley, which project was authorized at the last meeting of the state legislature. The bill provides the sum of $7500 for the work and also provides that the well must be sunk on a school section, the site to be chosen by the county board of supervisors and the director of the station, the latter to have charge of the work which is to be done by contract, or otherwise, and is to continue until artesian water is struck or the $75OO is exhausted.

PEG LEG OUTLAW IS
 KILLED BY RANGER. Noted Desperate shot Near Belle

Noted Desperate Shot Near Belle
 mont By Ed. Johnson.
 FLAGSTAFF, Sept. 5.-A man known as Peg Leg, who for years has terrorized the railroad and COW camps in this section for seven or eight years, was killed near Wild Bilrs ranch yesterday by County Ranger Ed Johnson, after an altercation.
 The man, armed with a six-shooter and rife was accosted by the ranger as suspicious character. Imme- diately he tried to use his rife. He was commanded to throw up his hands by the deputy, but instead, after the deputy had taken his rife away from him, attempted to draw his revolver. Johnson then shot the man dead.
 The scene of the killing is about six miles north of Bellemont in this county. The account of the affray did not reach here until today.
 Peg Leg has terroized this section for years He was desperate char acter and made his living by robbing camps and ranch houses. He is sup posed to be a fugitive from justice. When Sheriff Tom Pulliam was a deputy under Sheriff Francis, he en- countered Peg Leg on one occasion and was held up at the point of his rifle and sent back to town. A gen. eral spirit of relief is felt here now that he has been made away with.

now we are shoveling the crest away from the canal in order to relieve the pressure from above. Before the move ment in January began the excavation in the cut at that point had been carried to within 15 feet Of the canal bottom. Digging out that 15 feet of material removed the support of the Cucaracha, and down it came If we could have turned in the water and taken out the 15 feet with dredges, I think the pressure of the water would have done much to prevent the slide"

Ten Garden Pointers.

Breaking ground in winter
makes the ground more loose
and mellow than spring break
ing. 1t also destroys insect
larvae.
Loosening the subsoil allows
the winter rains to soak in.
Planting in straight rows is
better than planting in raised
beds.
Planting only such vegetables
as are liked by the family is
better than planting a great
variety.
Manure saved in the cattle
shed in April and May is more
free from weed and clover seed
than that saved at any other
time of year.
Tying tomatoes to stakes is
better than letting them be on
the ground.
Raking the ground after each
rain conServes moisture. The
rake is the best tool to use in
cultivation.
Sub-surface irrigation is bet
ter than sprinkling or pouring
water on the surface.
By keeping all the ground
busy al! the time, about three
times as much truck can be
raised.
No ordinary sized family can
possibly make use of all the
truck and berries that can be
raised on a half-acre of ground.

I'VE have missed him so much

for his wisdom. But if he
could come back today and
pluck one flower from the beau
tiful coverlet under which he
sleeps waiting for the morning
call, he would take a bud from
the wreath sent by the train
men, for he knew their strug-
giles, their hopes and he loved
them.

81 have been called over the

"and told by lady that her
daughter was on one of the
floats in the parade and that a
ruffian climbed on the float and
insulted her daughter"
REPLY FROM MANN.
Her daughter ought to have
been at home," interjected Rep
resentative Mann of Illinois,
the Republican leader.
The remark aroused a num-
Der of members.
"She had as much right there

ative Raker of California, "the
gentleman ought to be ashamed
of himself"
Before Woodrow Wilson has
been President many hours, he
will have placed in his hands by
the incensed suffragists a copy
of the vigorous resolution of
denunciation they adopted at
their mass-meeting last night.
The resolution read:
Resolved, That this meeting
unqualifiedly censures and de-
nounces the shameful conduct
b, the police during the suffrage
pageant just ended, which de-
MED to the marchers for suf-
frage their rights to parade
freely and unmolested in the
main streets of the capital and
subjected them to frequent
ribald insults from the crowds
which all but overwhelmed. To
these insults the police in many
cases listened without effort to
repress as they were but mildly
interested when the marchers
were compelled to go in single
file. Mismanagement would
have been a disgrace in any
city, but it is doubly and trebly
a disgrace in the national capi-
tai, which belongs to our citi-
zenS, men and women alike"
