 Since the returning of the manda- mus proceedings in Kansas City which enabled liquor houses in that part of Missouri to send liquor, for personal use, into the state, there has been much speculation as to the prob able action of the express companies First, thereafter, the railroads con Ceeded that it was better to admit the liquor, under the proper restric- tions, than to have a larger number of nandamus proceedings on their hands Still the Wells Fargo refused to ac> cept liquor from Fl Paso, Rodeo, Los Angeles and other points which might be appealed to.
 As a consequence the railroads have Teen handling all of the liquor, for personal use, into this state, except that which came from the state of Missouri. -''5
 The decision Of Wells Fargo, which was announced yesterday by the local officials, will undoubtedly result in the shipment of much package liquor.

Torrential rains each season raise havoc with the numerous canyons and creek crossings between Patagonia and Nogales, and last week, with the rain coming down almost every day, the, road has been "a fright"

 in the campaign, right of wrong"
 To Make Munitions
 The general report states that the committee will recommend law mak- ing possible the conduct of an annual educational campaign which will in clude the placing of test orders for munitions of war with all of the large plants in the country. A law creating an industrial reserve so that skilled mechanics may not be called to the colors but can remain at home to turn out munitions and supplies, will also be urged by the committee. This will avoid the situation that Great Britain found herself in when she mobilized and sent to the front her skilled me chanics and she was forced to send these same men back to the plants in order to meet the demand for muni- tion and other war elements.

The commissioners met at 10
o'clock to find that they could do
nothing until the clerk with the as

in the hope that this work could be
done speedily, remained in session

importance of Chemistry

London, June 1.-Chemistry's i'm.
portance in the future prosperity Of
the nation has been recognized by
University College, London, which has
just completed the construction of a
new chemical laboratory, with an in
tallation and reference library which
it is intended shall become one of
the most complete and comprehensive
of its kind in the world.
The faculty of the college in car
rying out its plans for the advance
ment of chemical science in Britain
sought for ideas in the principal
modern laboratories both in this
country and abroad. The basic idea
was to provide for the needs of in
depenct research and the expert
mental department has been designed
for the carrying-out of tests on a
large scale with the view of utiliza-
tion of new discoveries in connection
with the industries of the country.
The government has during the war
taken advantage of the facilities of
fered. and much valuable work has
been achieved.
