Colonel Epes Randolph

Tn the death of col. Epes Randolph at Tucson on Monday the state lost of it's foremost citizens and the railroad world of America one of its leaders Col onel Randolph had been resident of Arizona for quarter of century, As chief engineer of the Ches- apeake, Ohio and Southwestern, and the Ohio Valley Huntington head of the Southern Pacific who put him in charge of the Southern Pacific lines in Arizona.
 At that time the Southern Pacific merely crossed Arizona with inconsequental branches little than spurs running nearby settlements But under the management of Colonel Randolph the Southern Pacific of Arizona became fact. To his construc- tive genius is owing the Arizona Eastern system the purchase of the Arizona & New Mexico and Its tension into Southern Pacific of Mexico which his greatest single achievement. What he complshed in Arizona in the consolidation of the Southern Pacific interests perhaps still greater one. though it stands out less prominently than the building and extension of the Mexican road
 Colonel Randolph might have aspired to national leadership as railroad man but for the handicap of i'll health which the chief incentive for his coming to Arizona. No doubt the health giving properties of the climate of Tucson added many to what what a kuarter of a century ago seemed waning life.
 Previous to the coming of Colonel Randolph the affairs of Southern Pacific in Arizona put into the hands of division superintendents who sarded their residence at division headquarters probationary Though amid Arizonians they were not of them. But Colonel Randolph from the out set regarded Arizona his home and joined in the activities of his people. He citizen and good one as well as a railroad man.
 He took an active interest in the affairs of his home town and especially in the University of Ari- of which he served for long time as chancellor
 Colonel Randolph was a virginian though his active life previous to becoming Arizonian had been spent in Kentucky.

UNWILLING TO TAKE CHANCE
colored Man Evidently Had Little Con-
fidence in His Own Judgment in
Important Matter.

A visitor in Kentucky came across
that rare specimen, an unmarried col
Ored man.
The negro was a quiet, elderly per-
son, not shiftless, but quite industri-
GUS, so the northern man felt curious
and determined to find out why he
had remained single.
"Uncle Jim, how does it happen that
you are so opposed to matrimony?
The old fellow looked up with a grave
face, but there was a twinkle in his
eye, as he replied: me sub! 1 amt
exposed to matrimony."
"Well, why is it you have never
married2" his inquisitOr continued.
Haven't you seen anyone you liked?"
"LawdyI yessah-but you see it's
thisaway; couldn't resk my judg-
ment."

Cause Of Coal Mine Accidents.

The accident rates in coal mines are
much lower in England, Wales, France,
Belgium, Germany, Austria and Japan,
because all the miners in one mine
speak the same language. The poly
glOt workers in American mines are
unable to understand the printed or
spoken instructions, and do not have
the experience in mining to enable
them to understand the dangers ap-
parent to those who have been brought
up in the mines. The pioneers have
not stayed in the mines to work with
the newcomers. This makes it bad all
around. The standard of safety in
the mine is the standard of the most
ignorant miner or laborer He may
cause the accident that will endanger
the lives of all the rest, and experience
has shown that this is what frequently
occurs.-Exchange

life than any other industrial law"
prescribes a 45-hour week for all fac
tories and workshops, but does not

culture, affOrestatiOn concerns or min

provisions of the new law, as outlined
by the United States minister, are as
follows:
1t is prohibited to employ children
under fourteen years of age.

and women in factories or workshops,
Offices shops, apothecaries, hotels and
cafes.
Regulating hours Of labor in fac

the eight-hOur day adopted at the in
ternatiOnal labor conference in Wash

RATES FROM GULF
PORTS ARE REDUCED
Cut Applies to Wheat, Oats,
Flour and Packing House
Products.

Galveston, Tex-Water rate reduc-
tions approximating 10 per cent from
Houston and other gulf ports to Ha-
vana, Mantanzas, and Cardenas, Cuba,
on wheat, oats, flour and packing
house products went into effect We'd
nesday. This cut was ordered by the
Gulf Foreign Freight committee at a
recent conference in order to equalize
these rates with the rates now in
effect over the "all rail Florida route"
The reduction calls for a cut of Z
cents per 100 pounds on wheat, flour,
oats, and packing house products to
various Cuban ports. Packing house
products that formerly moved from
Houston and other gulf ports to Ha-
vana for 80 cents per 100 pounds can
now be shipped for 73 cents. Flour
rates per hundredweight are now So
cents against the old rate of 65 cents.
These reductions will probably in
crease the exports of flour and pack
ing house products to Havana through
gulf ports, it was said Thursday. The
cut is naturally an advantage to the
shipper. The steamship operators
having vessels in this trade will also
be able to stand the reductions. Cot
ton rates to various European ports
have been steadily reduced during the
past months. Rates to Cuban and 9TH
er ports in the West Indies on various
commodities have remained practical.
