FAIL TO F|NO LOPEZ
Levels of Utah-Apex Mine Are
Explored In Vain Hunt For
the Gunman

Bingham, Utah, January 3.---Ralph
Lopez, who declared that six men
would have to die before his pur-
suers got him." seemed to have
made good his boast tonight, when
search for him in the Utah-Apex mine
was abandoned. Sheriff Smith at a
late hour suddenly called his posses
from the workings and left the por-
tails unguarded for the first time
since November 81.

Bingham, Utah, January 3.---No
trace of Ralph Lopez was found by
the posse searching the Utah-Apex
mine to-day. A fresh party continued
exploring every nook in the Andy,
Minnie and Parnell levels tonight,
but at a late hour had discovered
nothing to indicate the fate of the
gunman who made the workings his
stronghold on November 27.
Sheriff Smith, who is in charge of
the man hunt, remained of the opin-
ion that the slayer of six men will be
found dead, although the added area
gone over to-day without result made
many of the searchers lose hope. All
those entering the mine continued to
go heavily armed in case of encoun-
tering the desperate alive, but this
had reduced itself to a formality, as
it was unanimously conceded that he
either escaped some weeks ago or is
dead.
If Lopez did escape, it is said that
he had many friends in Bingham who
would have helped him out of the
country. He was very popular, es-
pecially with the Americans here,
where his debonair air and quick wit
won him numerous admirers. He
was one of the leasers of the mine
in which he took refuge and always
carried much money on his person.
On November Il Lopez killed a
fellow Mexican countryman in a
quarrel over a woman. The same
day he killed three pursuing officers.
The day after taking refuge in the
mine he killed two more officers.
The mine was entered yesterday af-
ter having been kept sealed for over
two weeks.

THE MYSTERIOUS. EEL.
From the Saturday Globe.

From the Saturday Globe.
The life story of the eel is mystic
rious and as slippery as its skin, It's
breeding grounds are the mid-Atlan-
tic, at what depth nobody knows;
and while the larval eel remains a
year at sea it never eats, and grows
constantly smaller in swimming a
thousand miles to the mouth of some
fresh water stream. 1t then changes
from the thinness of visiting card
and a transparency that permits only
it's glistening black eyes to be seen
to the augmented. snake-like fish that
is trapped and speared on the coast
and in rivers. They all die after the
first spawning of 100000 to 90
100000 eggs-nobody knows how.
No adults ever come in from the sea,
no adults remain in the streams.
Fish Commissioner Smith says of the
eel in the National Geographic Maya
zine:
Here is a vertebrate animal,
emerging from an egg less than one
twenty-fifth of an inch in. diameter,
grows to a length of three inches
in perhaps a year, buffeted about on
the high seas, and drifting over
distance of 1000 miles Or more, and
yet during this entire period taking
no food whatever and doubtless inca
pable of doing so, owing to the I'M
prepared condition of its digestive
organs.

The Mysterious Sausage.

Never trust a sausage, says the
New York state board of health.
Many non-off1cial individuals have
worked out that aphorism for them
selves long ago, perhaps, under the
unconscious spell of the dreadful fate
which overlook the now forgotten
pup of Snyder's. They have credit
ed the package of mystery with con-
tanning many disagreeable and OBJ
jectionable ingredients from mince
meat to old boots, and even when
they have plucked up courage to
break the casing they have hesitated
to pry further into secrets that the
peace and comfort of their fellow
men demanded should remain inyio-
late. They felt that they were on
sacred ground; or their uneducated
olfactory nerves may have registered
a protest. At any rate, they felt that
they had no business among the sau-
sage eating elect.

BIRDS AND MILLINERY.

From the National Humane Review.
Our birds give us crop protection,
beautiful flashes of wing and gushes
of song. yet they receive in return
injustice and cruelty.
But more heartless than all is the
tragedy of causing birds to be butch
cred for the sake of personal adOrn-
ment! A woman who would take a
gun and deliberately go forth to
shoot a bird for her hat" would be
thought a cruel person. Yet this is
what she really does in effect when
her demand upon Fashion is such
that hunters engage in the business
to supply the demand. The jingling
of dollars exchanged for life and JOY
and song!
If she were to see one of the hunt
ers wrenching the gay wings from
the birds writhing body, as is so Of
ten done, would she not cry out in
protest? Yet this is all because she
will not say mo" to a style that is
barbarous and out of harmony with
our high state of civilization!
May the millinery windows contin-
ue to smile Ikea garden of May, but
let there be one thing lacking-the
wings of birds.

Congress Doing PenanCe.

Congress is springing fresh sur
nrises on the nation. 1t IS passing
through a phase Of rigid self-denial,
at least in the intervals OF passing
hinge appropriations to keep the pork
barrel replenished. First, in response
m pathetic plea from Senator Till
man the senators denied themselves
tbe wonted luxury of a smoke while
in executiye session. Then the print
ing privileges were made the subject
of more drastic regulation and con-
gressmen have evinced a disposition
fo curtail their official allowances for
secretarial aid.
Rumors of further sacrifices are
circulating through the capitol. 1t
is charged that the grave and rever-
end signors eat and drink too much
and that their performances on the
light fantastic toe are becoming
dreadfully noticeable. Their longev-
ity. it is said, is threatened in con-
gress and on earth, and their next
conouest of the man Adam in them
will take the form of ousting the tam
90 and turning, with regretful sigh
for the last luxuries of the legislator,
to grape juice and the dishes that
mother used to make.

Studies In Road Building,

Detailed studies of local road
building systems in one hundred
counties are now being carried on by
the federal department of agricult-
ure in cooperation with state high
way departments and local authori-
ties. In Georgia the counties of
Clark, Dade, Floyd, Fulton, Glynn,
Gilmer Gordon, Greene, Rabun,
Sumter, Towns and Union have been
designated as those in which the in
vestigatim will be made. The pur-
pose of this study is to discover the
points of excellence and defects in
existing local methods of building
and maintaining roads which will aid
the state and local authorities to put
local road management on a system
atized basis.
This investigation is prompted by
the fact that there is at present very
little knowledge as to the most eff
fective and economical methods by
which a county can develop its roads.
At present the methods of financing
local road improvements vary from
calling on farmers for a certain
number of days labor in lieu of a
road tax or the use of prisoners in
road construction to bond issues.
There is, moreover, at present no
standard system of keeping accounts
for road building and maintenance.
and as a result some counties know
TO penny the purpose for which
money was spent
These Investigations, it is believed,
will yield important economic data
bearing especially on the benefits and
burdens of road improvement and
showing the extent to which fnan-
cial outlay under given typical con-
ditions is justifiable.

THE COOL STRANGER.

War and Business.

A pet Wall street illusion is that a
war with Mexico or anybody else
would help the United States finan-
cially.
Must have munitions and provis-
ions, therefore factories would be
stimulated to supply such articles.
Alas! Logic and history do not en-
dorse the petty theories of our Wall
street friends, says the Philadelphia
Public Ledger. When mans leg is
cut off activity is stimulated to the
extent of a rushing ambulance, a
busy surgeon, an employed nurse,
the consumption of absorbent cotton
and other supplies.
Mr.. Hurt Mans money stirs up all
these activities and pays for them
but he is no richer by the operation,
nor is the community.
For the United States to create
debt of $500, 100000 to pay for sup
plies, all of which would be wasted
in a war, is not the way for the
United States to get prosperous.
Brokers always recall the fact that
business bloomed in America during
and after the Spanish war. But the
war didn't cause any bloom. 1t was
simply not big enough war to pre-
vent the bloom which had already
started.
England never got anything to
compensate it for the $90O,0OO,OOO
which the Boer war cost. Japan
is now almost bankrupt on account
of it's war with Russia.
What goes into war is waste, and
waste cannot permanently be a good
thing for any people. If what is
spent for calvary horses bought plow
horses the latter would create
enough wealth to pay for themselves.
Not so the war charger. He never
earns a penny.
The canned food and clothing
soldier gets may stimulate Temporal
rily a factory, but these materials il
they went to a farm laborer would
be made to work to pay for them
selves.
No, you can't scarcely promote a
war as lever to lift business.

We are all familiar with those
startling upsets in the stability of the

probably few of us realize that most
of the land surface of the earth is

LIBERTY BELL IN "BED."
rom the PHILADELPHIA Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Recent investigation by the city
authorities shows that. the crack in
the Liberty Bell has been enlarged
and heightened, and in the fear that
the priceless relic may be saved from
more serious damage, if not actual
falling apart, they have placed four
automobile jacks under it in order to
relieve in some measure the strain
on the hanging support at the top.
Each jack has supporting capaci-
ty of four tons and heavy felt pads
have been inserted between the jacks
and the bell so that the metal will
not be Jared by the slightest tremor.
City officials are alarmed at the
continual enlargement of the crack.
Microscopic examinations and mathe-
NAUTICAL measurements have estab-
lished the fact that the new crack,
extending from the top of the old
crack, has increased in length until
it now extends diagonally around
about one-quarter 'of the bells cir
conference. A gradual widening of
the new crack also has been noticed.
As a result the Philadelphia au-
thorities who are familiar with the
conditions are convinced that the
projected trip of the Liberty Bell to
the Panama exposition would be ia
tai. If the bell goes to the coast
it is certain, they say, it will return
in pieces.

mon or Irish potatoes can be moved
out of Maine except under regula-
tons which the department Of agri-
culture will publish shortly. Pow

A New Divorce Market.

Those who object to the rapid-t1re

a while back when Nevada passed a
law making one years actual resi-
dence in the state necessary on the
part of all divorce applicants. That
is the doom of Reno as divorce
MILL" they told us, didn't they? But
it wasn't the end of the divorce as an
institution-not by a considerable
distance, anyway. In West Virginia
now only six months residence
is required of applicants for disso-
luton of matrimonial partnerships.
Already Wheeling, in that state, is
filing up with persons looking for
quick divorces. The rush to Reno
checked the rush to Wheeling is be-
gun. Probably within a few months
the scandal of Wheeling will equal
that of Reno in its most scandalous
days.

THE MEAT QUESTION A BIG ONE.

From the Moultrie Observer.
Georgia sends away every year more
than $40,OO0,OO0 for meat and meat
products. This is equal to one-third of
the entire cotton crop of Georgia. The
flow of money never GIBBS. Our ship
ments of products to the Northwest
are relatively inconsiderable.
South Georgia mas undertaken the
patriotic task of keeping this money
in Georgia. In response to the 1nV1-
tation of the Brooks County Indus
trial Club that a South, GeOrgia-wlde
Animal Industry Conference be held
to study and stimulate meat produc-
ton the Georgia Chamber of Com
merce has issued a call to the trade
bodies and mayors urging them to
send delegates, not less than seven
from each town. to this conference on
May Goth.
1t has been demonstrated through
wears of actual commercial hOg-rais-
ing that Southwest Georgia can pro-
duce pork at three to five cents a
pound, considerably cheaper than 1t
can be produced in the Northwest.
The Georgia grower has the advant-
age of the nome markets and the
freights thus saved. 1t pays better
than growing cotton. 1t is the best
defense against the boil weevil, and
is the keynote of greater prosperity.
The meeting is not local, but state
wide. All Georgia is expected to en-
courage this great gathering and all
South Georgia viii participate.
The vital facts regarding animal
industry brought to the attention of
the public at this gathering will be OF
enormous educative value, and the
