ARM GRATED ON GIRL

BERLIN, Ger. JAN, 16.-Surgeons
throughout Germany today are
watching with intense interest the
case of Marie Kuback, who recently
underwent a remarkable operation in
a hospital at Prague. The patient, a
dressmaker, was suffering from a
disease of the upper arm which ne
cessitated amputation. Just before
the operation another girl, who had
attempted suicide, died in the hospit-
al, and the doctors decided to try a
drafting experiment. Removing the
bone from the upper arm OF Miss
Kubacek they inserted in its place
section from the arm of the dead
girl. The operation was successful
beyond the doctors most sanguine
hopes, and latest reports from the
hospital say the patient is steadily
improving.

WOMEN LIVE LoNGERN MEN

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 15.-
That white women live to and die at
more advanced ages than white men,
is proved by figures published today
by the department of commerce. I'm
til the age of eighty years more
deaths of male members of the race
are recorded. This is accounted for
by the fact that there are more men
than women.
Conceding that numbers of both
sexes are about even at the age OF
seventy, great number of the sur
viving men die during the next de.
cade, after which the mortality rate
for women leads.
There were 180 women over 9E
years old who died during the veal
of 1910, and only 534 men of the
same age died; 246 people over 100
years old died during the year, anc
of this number 149 were women
These figures would seem to prov'
that the older women die faster thai
the men, but actually great man.
women live to greater old age thai
men, hence the greater mortalit!
| figures in the advanced ages.
About the same proportions holt
good among the colored races in thi
ountry-negroes, Mongolians, May
laws and Indians. Although compris
ing about only one seventeenth of tn
population of the country, NOR
than proportionate number of death
occur at advanced ages, 1876 living t.
be over 100 years old. Of this mum
ber ninety-three were women, an
thirty-three men.

ROSWELL is ALIVE TO 1T.

So many times have the people OF
Roswell and vicinity had their hopes
wrought up in vain over the pros
poets in the past ten years, that it is
seldom railroad proposition creates
any enthusiasm. They nearly always
of late years caught some kind of q
poker in the proposition which hao
for its ultimate the falling down OF
the proposition, and bleeding the cit
izens.
1t seems to be different with the
proposition of the Gulf, New Mexico
and Pacific, an extension of the San.
Ia Fe Central railway from Terrence
to Roswell and from Albuquerque tc
Pennington in the San Juan valley
Business men and capitalists in botf
Albuuuerque and Roswell are view
ing the proposed plan with interest
Roswell is buster than she has beer
for quite spell regarding railroad
But in her activity she is guarding
the mile posts. No wild cat plan is
being entered into that would work
financial detriment. Not cent OF
the bonus which is to be offered will
be paid until trains are whistling into
the valley.
Talking with many of the business
men and capitalists one learns that
they are enthused over the prospects
for the extension of the road. The
people are beginning to realize the
faith of the leaders of the city's pro-
gress and are getting enthused.
Real estate men say that listings
are being changed. Some are with
drawing their property that has beer
listed from the market altogether,
while others are raising the price.
The great question which has TAX
en- prominence the last twenty-foui
hours among the citizens is "whert
will the shops and terminals be 10
cated?" and no one can answer thu
query, as yet.
Many say, without a doubt that Il
will come through the Berrendo lrri
water Farms company. Even that IL
guess work as yet though.
Anyway, the. people are getting
more enthusiastic over the road thar
any which has been offered for som'
time past. Everybody is fully con
fident that it will be finished, know
ing that there is small demand fo
the road. That Roswell is on
straight line between Hagan Goa
fields and the Panama canal coalint
stations for the Panama canal ships
That they need the virgin coal fields
that the Hagan is the nearest ant
that the road is bound to come
