 David Tate, of Flagstaff, was visitor in town Tuesday confer ring with MT. Shingle of the local ice plant and visiting with some of his old time friends in this city. MT. Tate is an enthusiastic worker for good roads and the National Highway, which is now assured will come this way. He informs us that business is good in Flagstaff at the present time, especially since the beginning of the double tracking in the vicinity of that city, the grading camp being stationed on the very out skirts of the city.-Wlnslow Mail.
 Two parties of Santa Fe men have been in the city this week, in the interest of company matters pertaining to the water proposi- tion, and they went out to the res- ervoir and the site of the new pro- posed reservoir, where they have been busy Investigating conditions relative to the construction of the new reservoir. It looks very much like the railway company was going to get busy with their end of the water business and in that event it will not be long until active work will be in full blast on the construction work. It will be a welcome sight to see the teams and other things going out there to work on a proposition that is muchly needed as this one is.
 N. G. Layton returned last Monday from trip to Phoenix, where he went to attend a meeting of the superintendents of the state to discuss matters pertaining to the school interests of the different counties of the state. MT. Layton is also interested in the matter of handling the books for the counties. Under the present con ditions the books for each county must be handled by the superin- tendent, from one central point. This will necessitate the hand ling of the books by the superin- tendent, the renting of the store room and the reshipping of the same to the different parts of the county and there has been no provisions made by the state leg islature for the expense incurred.
 F. Mcclure of Washington, D. C., was in the city the first of the week m the interest ot the road building in the county by the for est service.

Mills is one of those clever artists in his line and the crowds that went to see him perform were. very much pleased with his work. Many of those who saw him are practicing some of the shots which he accomplished so easily.
 Gene Sliker returned the first of the week from Phoenix where he went on a business trip. MT. Sliker says it is hotter than Dutch love in August down in the south ern part of the state and many of the people down there ought to know about this summer climate. We would suggest that some en- terprising citizen get out nice booklet telling about our pleasant summer climate. It would be a kindness to the people of the south and benefit to the north.

We may judge a mans character
by what he does-or by what pleases
him. If man manifests delight in
low and sordid objects-the vulgar
song and debasing language-in the
misfortunes OF his fellows, or break

mine the complexion of his character.
On the contrary, if he loves purity,
modesty, truth-if virtuous pursuits
engage his heart and mind-we are
satisfied that he is an upright man.

A SIMPLE PROBLEM.
The Section Boss Easily Got the Tool
House In the Right Spot.

About ten years before the Eastern
railroad was leased by the Boston and
Maine that portion of the old road be-
tween Swampscott and Salem was In
charge Of Section Foreman Timothy
Moynahan.
His strongest point was in doing
Just as he was told and doing that
with energy and accuracy. So when
he was notified from Beverly by Road
master Stevens that the section lengths
were to be changed and that he was to
move his tool house from the westerly
end of Salem yard to halfway between
mileposts Is and 16 he started out with
the determination to move the house
halfway, no more, no less.
To get this halfway point he sta
toned one Of his men at mllepost 10
and another at milepost 10, and at
signal they started to walk toward
each other until they met, and TO a
point opposite their meeting place the
shanty was moved. This method OF
getting the correct distance did not
quite suit MOynahan, especially when
he remembered that one of the walk
ers was taller than the other and the
other tripped several times on the way
down.
He carried this in his mind for near
" a year, when he met the engineers
measuring through for signals and
asked them to tell him as they meas
ured II bis house was just halfway or
not.
When the measurement was taken,
the house was found TO be sixty feet
nearer milepost 16 than Is, and Moy-
nahan, on being told, remarked that he
thought he could fix things just right.
Later IN the year the engineer met
Moynahan in Salem and asked him If
his tool house was now halfway be-
tween the mile posts.
ut is" he replied. TITS just half
way"
Did you have much trouble moving
itT
mo trouble at all. Just let 1t stay
as it was and moved the milepost."

INSTINCT IN PLANTS.
Actions That Seem to indicate Some
Sort of Nervous System.

Plants sometimes appear TO possess
reasoning power. Charles Darwin in
staDced the case of the rootlet, which,
piercing its way through the soil and
detecting a stone or lump Of hard clay
In its path, will go round It without
touching It. How does the rootlet or
plant know that the stone is thereT
he asks. Certainly 1t cannot see 1t
and as 1t does not touch 1t cannot feel
Il. The avoidance therefore seems to
be In the nature OF perception Of some
kind which is a mental operation"
The species of mimosa known as the
sensitive plant will contract its leaves
even at the sound Of footstesp, and
when such plant is being transplant
ed It crumples up during the process in
such way that 1t really appears to be
suffering from fear. Afterward 1t re-
covers and resumes rs ordinary mode
Of life.
Plants undoubtedly possess con.
seriousness of a kind which enables
them to carry out certain operations
necessary TO their preservation. and
this can only be done through the pos
session Of some sort of nervous sys
