Engineer Guy Doty Killed

L. o. Wallace, of Barstow, Calf,
sends us clipping from the Los
Angeles Examiner Of August 4th,
which tells the story OF railroad &C.
cident near victorville. Calf, In
which Engineer Guy Doty, formerly
IN the employ CT the Santa Fe at
this point, was killed. The story Of
the accident Is as follows:
Engineer Guy Doty was killed and
three members Of the Santa Fe
railroad freight crew were injured
last Saturday night when their train
was wrecked by crashing into q great
boulder which had been loosened
from It's mountainside resting place
and had lodged on the track.
Engineer Doty was scalded to
death by the steam escaping from
vent In the boiler Of the locomo-
tive. While his engine was hurled
down . fifty foot embankment the
engineer remained at his post and
died . few minutes after rescuers
reached his side.
The train was passing through that
section of the road bordering the
Mojave river and known As the Mar
rows when the boulder was encount.
tered at the end OF a curve. The
engineer made every attempt to
bring his train to q standstill. but
the time OF warning was too short.
Mr.. Doty will be remembered by
most OF the old-time railroad men
OF La Junta. as he was employed
as an engineer between La Junta
and Dodge City In 1905 and 1906.
Mr.. Doty was a single man about
forty years OF age, and made his
home with his mother at San Ber-
nardino. Calf. He has been work
ing on the Los Angeles division, Of
the Santa Fe for some time. II was
just about year ago that Engineer
Ralph Gholson, another La Junta
boy. was killed In about the same
way, at Kingman. Ariz,, when No.
went into the ditch.

lmprOveti the Trail

The county commissioners have
greatly improved the condition Of the
Santa Fe Trail through Otero county.
The heavy coat Of gravel made traffic
unpleasant and slow for a few days,
and the lack Of rain has kept the trail
from being placed in first class con-
dition. but II is much better than it
was. The trail between Fowler and
La Junta Is now sufficiently packed
to allow motor speed Of thirty miles
an hour-and that's plenty fast
enough.-Fowler Tribune.

Soldier boy In Hest Of Health

II appears that the Tribune was
misinformed when It chronicled in n
recent issue that Charles NJ. witt.
one OF our soldier boys who enlisted
In the navy few weeks ago. and
IS now In the electrical school at the
Mare Island Navy Yard. was In ser
ious condition from lung trouble ana
would probably be sent to Fort Lyon
TO recuperate. Mr.. Witt. who was
one OF the graduates from our school
this year. and has many friends in
La Junta, was evidently much dis
tressed by the publication OF this
news Item. and Is very anxious that
his friends should know the real
facts. In letter TO friend In this
city he says:
II have been here In the hospital
at Mare Island since June ED. and
will remain n month longer before
they will let me 20 on duty. II is
a mistake about me having lung
trouble---for which I am duly thank
ful. came here to the hospital
with very bad throat. and from
June 22d to July 5th could not speak
above n low whisper. did not have
a drop OF water during that time.
other than small spoonful with
medicine.
"Iiow that yarn ever got started Is
beyond me. for no one came TO see
me. They jid not even know what
part OF the hospital I was In. have
had n thorough chest examination
and II came out perfect. so there
Ia no question about me being free
from lung trouble. as the doctor who
examined me was n specialist along
that line I can get his signature to
any kind of a health certificate prov
Ing that my lungs are as sound as n
dollar.
1.-THE electrical school IN so crowd
ed II may be two or three months
before will have an opportunity to
20 on duty. n don't get started
soon ! am going TO try hard TO have
my rating changed to something else.

FARM HOMES FOR FIGHTERS
Mast Area In Australia May Be Opened
Up to Settlement by British
Soldier After War.

Plans to throw open 3,000,0 600
square miles of white Australia to
population by ~ex-service men when
WAR is over is a plan that is now be-
ing taken up enthusiastically by the
Headers not only in Australia, but
throughout the British empire. This
|colonization movement is under the
auspices Of the British immigration
League of Australia. Henry G. Arm
|strong, a member of the league, who
Ihas been in this country, tells inter-
estingly of the aims, and Of the vast
country that will be opened up as a
place where the soldiersI can find
home comfort and peaceful pros
|perity as a reward for industry after
the fight is done.
The general plan of the league is
Ito have the government Of the Aus
itralian states provide e of land
adequate to the accommodation of
desirable settlers from the Austria
lian and British forces who may
wish to make their homes in that
commonwealth, provision being
made especially for ex-service set
Tiers and their dependents. The
money requisite for the proper set
Element by Australian sailors and
soldiers is to be raised by special
taxation or loans. Il" provides that
the general scheme of provision and
betterment should be under rigid
government control and financed
from the consolidated revenue. AS
whatever amount thus raised by spe-'
cial taxation viii be inadequate to
the expense and recurring cost Of set
ltling on equal conditions a large
number of British e~x-service men,
any balance required is to be sup
Iplied by loans from the imperial gov
Iernment.

WHY CORN is REALLY KING
Used in Old Sense ar Meaning Grain of
All Kinds, 1t May Determine Re-
suit of World War.

limo age of our world history has
the old expression Corn is King
more forcibly illustrated the most
potent factor in human existence
than today. In the United States
we commonly associate with the
word corn one class of grain, called
by the rest of the world maize. Corn
has been a term through the world,
both in agriculture and commerce,
for grains of practically all descrlp-
ton, such as wheat, barley, rye, oats
and even rice. and the corn laws of
England were made to govern trans
actions and the shipment of all
grains both whole and ground. 1t is
the practically unanimous opinion of
diplomats and the best informed
critters that the present world war
ell be won, mot by the last bullet
but by the last crust"
Thus we may truly say that corn
is the "king' to whom we must free
.ly yield the most %autocratic powers.
