3rd Member for Christiansted Town
Nielsen. l have been appointed Speaker
for the Committee. In the last meeting of
the Council there was no objection to the
Draft itself, but a Committee was desired
to discuss whether the Draft could be ex-
tended to other materials than mentioned
in s 2 Of the Draft; and further if something
could be done by taking money from the
Reserve Fund to help those who have suf-
fered from the Hurricane. His Excellency
the Governor was present at the Committee
meeting. aud it was pointed out, that it
would be difficult to use the Reserve Fund,
at all events not before the extent of the
damage was known. It was further desired
to adopt the Draft as it was and as soon as
possible, as st. Thomas had adopted the
Draft. We therefore did not consider it
of any use to make out q written report,
and | shall then recommend the Draft for
adoption.

got an assurance from Government. that

I am unable to see how this can be done
with the Reserve Fund; before deciding
about the Reserve Fund WI agreed to wait
and see to what extent the damage will

Ord Member for Christiansted Town
NIELSEN. / think we could accept His
Excellency's proposal.
The actg. Chairman (C.Leery). Perhaps
it is right to say something more. 1t was
proposed in the Commute, that the Reserve
Fund and the Immigration Fund should be
used. I don't consider Governments de-
mand of 4M D.. a. on the loans for any help,
| consider a man getting a loan to be paid
back in Is years at 431, for III reality pay
ing 1927, so there is nothing benevolent IN
that from the Governments side. But rs
long as we have money in the Reserve
Fund and in the Immigration Fund then
let people get the money without paying
interest, and let us say TO the State here
we have of our own T. inst. 100000 dollars
help us with an equal amount.

1t was adopted with 7 votes against 4.
The actg. Chairman &C. Leecy). The

was sent in with Governments letter Mr..

late to do so, and I therefore now ask the
hon. Members to give their permission by
rising, that it may be taken up today.
All the Members rose.

PoCKET.GOPHER POISON

The pocket-gopher probably causes more destruction on the farm than any other rodent and a method for exterminating them should be very welcome. The U. s. Department of Agriculture offers the following formula for a mixture which it is claimed is sure death to pocket-gopbers:
 Mix together while dry one fourth ounce powdered strychnine (alkaloid) and one-sixteenth ounce of saccharine and sift over 5 quarts of dampened baits made by cut ting sweet potatoes or carrots into one-half to three-fourths inch cubes. To insure even distribution of the poison stir baits while the powder.
 The gopher's runway may be located several inches below the surface by probing with a bluntly poi nted stick. An opening should be made to admit 2 of the baits and then closed.

TRAIN WRECK ON
 GRAND CANYON ROAD
Torrential Rain and Hail Storm Loosen Bridge Fireman Terry Killed
(By Special Correspondence)

\Dy OPeCIdl COrreSpOnQence)
 Grand Canyon, July 30, 1916- The TAO p. m. train bound for Williams met with an accident on Saturday night near Willaha which cost the life of Fireman Fred Terry.
 A torrential rain and hail storm had loosened the pinning of the bridge letting the engine down. The baggage car jutted into it but the passengers of the two sleepers and the day coach escaped with only a few crstches.
 Fred Terry, firman, was pinned under the engine and nothing could be done for him except to give him hypodermic, which was given by Dr. w. B. Hill physi- clan who was on the train. MT. and Mrs. Terry are from Milwau- kee, and have been here for nearly a year on account of Mrs. Terry's health. It is said by the railroad men that MT. Terry had what is called "railroad hunch" a short time before that it would get him sooner or later. He was a good natured, jovial young man and his friends feel his death keenly. Mrs. Terry will go East to her relatives very soon.
 The bravery and efficient actions of Brakeman Bill Ravens and Engineer Oswald have been much spoken of by the tourists. MT. Oswald suffered a scalded arm while giving MT. Terry the hypo- dermic, and MT. Ravens has broken rib received by being thrown against trunk in the baggage car but despite that and other injuries he walked to a ranch four miles away, tried to get the Fl Tovar on the telephone and failing that came to the Cany on in a motor car for help.
 The tourists on the train were brought back to Grand Canyon some leaving Sunday for Flagstaff and Williams in the Santa Fe automobiles but most of them left Monday at :45 p. m. which was the first. train out. The passengers had to walk from the Grand Can- yon train past the washout and the scene of the accident to the train sent up from Williams. : Things are being closed up as much as possible for no water can be sent up until the road is repair ed and certain amount must be kept in the water tanks on account of the insurance. It is expected water train will be in Friday.

where he has since made his
home, Fifty years ago last No
