SOUTHERN PACIFIC PROSPERITY INDEX OF THE SOUTHWEST kruttschnitt's Trip Cause for General. Encourage ment Over Conditions LUMBER INDUSTRY
 IMPROVES RAPIDLY Western Street Railway Men Find Jitney Has Caused no Serious
 Interference With Their
 Business
By HOLLAND

New York, April 7.-(Special )-It was in the latter part of the winter that Julius kruttschnitt started from New York on HIS tour of inspection of the Southern Pa- cfic railroad system from which he re- turned in the early part of this week. The itinerary covered about 12OOO miles. MT. kruttschnitt is now recognized as the master mind of the Southern Pacific not only because he is chairman of the ex- ecutlve committee, but also because he possesses more profound knowledge of the history and the development of the southern Pacific system than any man now living. Ar. Kruttschnitt was in close association With c. P. Huntington for about 70 years before the atters death In fact, his relation to the Southern Pa enc system comprises substantially all of his career as railroad man.
 For these reasons MT. kruttschnitt' S comments after tour of inspection have always been carefully considered not only by men of finance but also by men of large commerce. He possesses a singu- larly effective manner of stating his con- c'uslons, for he is never over-optimistic and never pessimistic. He can report fscts not merely satisfactorily, but with well considered observations and care fully-thought-out explanation of the 1reaning which lies behind the statistics
 MT. Kruttschnitts brief comments after his return from his tour of inspection were one of the topics of the day upon which they were published. That was in part due to his statement that he is TOW convinced that the railroads of the United States are to experience a change in the sentiment of the public towar them. That is the result of the newly adopted attitude of the railroads and especially of the ore with which he is as- scciated toward the public
 Formerly, railway managers were reluc- tant about giving information to the pub .lc and never undertook to establish cor dial relations with it. This attitude-it has been surmised-- explains in part the resentment or irritation which the pub lie felt toward railway managers Re gently change has characterized rail- way management in this respect Howard Elliott, now president of the New Haven

system, was one of the first to adopt cor dial relations with the public He did this at the time lie was president of the Northern Pacific railroad. James J. Hill was accustomed for long time to go among the people whom his railroad served and address them either formally or informally. That policy was adopted by MT. Kruttschhitt and his associates in. tEe year i9C6. He is now able to say that
 the results have been surprising and gratifying, and he found upon his recent tcur every evidence of satisfaction on the part of the public so far as the latter's relation tn that system is concerned.

AUTOMOBILE AND THE JITNEY

Eighteen months ago good deal of anxiety was felt by railway managers, especially in California, on account of the sudden development of the itney The fear was that the jitney wopld cut se- verely into local passenger traffic. This apprehension was not shared by Henry D. Huntington, who believed that certain conditions associated with jitney oper- ations would make it impossible for the car long to compete with the railroad. This prediction is found by MT. Krutt- schnitt to be justified. The jtney is not affecting passenger traffic half so much as is the automobile, and the highly per- fected roads of California are encourage ing larger and larger use of the latter
 How great are California's activities in agriculture is to be inferred from Mr. kruttschnitts statement that the total movement of citrus fruit, which accord ing to the first estimate would entail about 42,0O0 carloads, will. in fact en- tail as much as 45,000 carloads.

O-TO-CHURCH SUNDAY
To Be OBSERVED IN DAWSON
HOPED TO MAKE NEXT SUNDAY,
THE 18TH, RECORD DAY FOR
CHURCH ATTENDANCE.

Next Sunday, October 29th, will be
-to-Church day throughout the
United States, and Dawson churches
hope to make it a record day in at
tendance upon their services.
The spirit of Go-to-Church Sunday
is truly Dawsonian in its broadness,
embracing as it does the whole city
and everybody in it without regard to
race or denomination. The invi-
tation to go to church is genera.
also in that it invites one to attend
any church of his preference.
1t is go to church, any church.
but on that day go to church.
That Dawson will respond to an in
vitation of this character, that special
consideration be accorded October
29th as day set apart upon which
the whole of our population will as
semble in its churches for worship,
there can be no doubt.
Owners of automobiles could I'M
doubtedly contribute much to the
success of the day and would render
a very meritorious service by furnish
ing their cars for the transportation
to services of those who live some
distance from the churches and who
are without vehicles or are unable to
walk.

The Rutherford Shows, a carnival
company which will furnish the at

ball association, arrived in the city
Monday morning and Immediately
began erecting their tents on the
streets. All the tents were in order
at IL o'clock to-day (Tuesday) and
the first performance will take place
this afternoon. The riding devices
were in operation Monday night.
While a representative of The
News did not have an opportunity
to visit the shows before press time
from all outward appearances the
carnival promises to be one of the
biggest and best that has visited Daw-
son. 1t is said that the Rutherford
shows are even bigger and better
than the Con T. Kennedy shows.
The streets are crowded with peo-
pie today, and large crowds from
this and surrounding counties are
expected every day this week.

"A THOUSAND GUINEAS
TO EAT BOIL WEtvILS
J. r. MERCER PREPARING TO
TEST THE VIRTUE OF FOWL
AS WEEVIL DESTROYER.

There have been many publications
that the guinea is an enemy of the
boil weevil, and that enough of them
will keep farm clear of the cotton
pest.
Mr.. j. R. Mercer decided to make
an experiment on that line, and in the
spring set $50 guinea eggs and began
buying all the grown guineas he could
find. The result is that from the
$50 eggs henow has four or five hun
bred guineas and he has accumulated
hundred or two old ones, and ex-
poets to increase the number to 1000
by the time the weevil and young cot
ton make their appearance next
spring.
The guineas will be distributed
among Mr. MERGERS tenants, and by
that means every part of his farm
will be covered by these supposed-to-
be weevil pickers.
There have been numerous reports
of the guineas having been used in
other sections of the country with
success in fighting the weevil, and
Mr.. MERGERS experiment here will be
watched with interest.

DAWSONIANS VISIT
PEANUT OIL MILL
Plants for Crushing Peanuts and
Converting Beans and Other Prod
ucts Into Foodstuffs Visited.

A party of Dawsonians composed
of R. L. Saville, ]. A. Shields, K. S.
Worthy, T. B. Raines and j. G. Hol-
lngsworth have visited Edison and
inspected the milling plant, for con-
verting velvet beans, corn and other
products into merchantable feed
stuffs, and the peanut oil mill that
were erected there for the purpose of
aiding the fight against the boil Wee
vii by providing a market for some
thing besides cotton.
The Dawsonians were most favor
ably impressed with the Edison enter
prises. Besides the peanut mill they
found five or six Independent buyers
of ground peas in the town and prices
ranging from 81 to $1.20 a bushel.
These gentlemen, with several 9TH
ers, have, as was stated in the last
issue of The News, under considera-
ton the erection of similar plants in
Dawson, and in pursuing their inves-
LEGATIONS number of those interested
will, at an early date, visit Andalu
STA, Ala, where the weevil is thriving
in all it's glory and where business
like and effective preparations have
been made to minimize its effects
more than almost anywhere else.
There they will not only look into the
milling plants but will also investigate
the kind Of crops that are grown and
the marketing system.
By another season Dawson will be
in position to furnish a market for all
products that are grown on the farm

money being for the most part profit.
The hogs were raised in a pasture

only a surplus from his herd used in
raising his own meat. AS time rolls

stories as this. In fact they are fire.

CHAPTER XII.
His Own at last,

The story of how the Americans
accepted that challenge is an old
story. 1t was still some hours to
sunset when the American cavalry
charged the very center of the
enemy's lines.
At the front rode Jack.
For a moment binding smoke
filled his eyes. Then through the
smoke he saw Brito's face. AT IL
he drove. Wait for me-" he
yelled.
But Brito did not wait. Before
the rush of the maddened horses
he turned and fled, bending low
upon his horses neck.
Jack glanced neither to the
right nor to the left. His eyes
were fixed only on his foe. Then
he was out of the ruck, crashing
through the autumn woods.
After a time the woods opened
and he saw his enemy clearer. He
was in no haste to bring his foe
to bay. Brito knew where Alag
wa was. Therefore Brito should
lead him to her.
The chase went on. The sun
was dropping toward the west.
Already veil of deep blue shad-
ow lay on the land. Anxiously
Jack glanced at the darkening
west. Soon he must bring the
other to bay or risk losing him.
Could he have Judge wrong?
Could Brito be merely fleeing to
save himself, careless of Alagwa?
Jacks heart sank at the thought.
Should he close in and have done
with it9
AS he hesitated Brito turned
abruptly aside, urging HIS horse
toward a crest OF a low ridge
that rose to the north. An in
slant later he vanished into the
fringe of trees that crowned 1t.
Jack set his teeth hard. Over
the crest of the ridge he passed
and Numbered down the opposite
slope. Then In a moment the
woods broke sharply off, and he
found himself on the edge of a
wide, open space, in which stood
a farm house. Before It, just
