AVOIDING THE DUST NUISANCE

In order to prevent the stirring up of dust by rapidly moving trains, and so to increase the comfort of the traveller, the Southern Pacific Com, pany, on many of it's divisions, is re- oiling its tracks. Large tank cars equipped with sprinklers, are used in spreading an oil covering over the sand and dust for about six feet on each side of the track, and in the sand cuts, the sides of the cuts are sprinkled to the top. This method has been very successful in ohviat ing the dust nuisance according to Southern Pacifis officials.

Associates With Kings But Wants .ToReturn Home

Miami, AriZ., Sept. 15-Life in the kingdom of Siam differs radically from that of Arizona, writes former Governor G. w P Hunt to his friend J. Tom Lewis, of Miami, in a letter recently received.
 We are about half way round the world he comments, "and letters take long time to reach us as Siam is off the beaten path of steamers. We are five days from Singapore and the boats only come once or twice a week, while the boats from Hong Kong spend about ten days on the journey.
 Y have just returned trUnI weeks trip, during which I was the guest It the cousin of the king of Siam. This great noble was anxious that I see the delta of the Menam river, which is the granary of Siam.

 wide and 45 inches long fastened round the waist. This princess had
 hers made into regular skirt and colOred dainty blue. She was very
 small but very dainty. Really. the Siamese ladies are very nice to look
 upon, but one of their greatest draw

Copper Situation Hints at Revival, Says Douglas

Indications are increasingly appar qent that there is to be revival of work in the copper fields within less than the prescribed eight months. Jerome, Globe and to a somewhat less extent, Bisbee, are making moves indicative of a revival of mining.
 The United Verde Copper company is ready to blow in it's shelter on a days notice; the operation can be completed in 72 hours. The plant at Clarkdale, and in fact all of the United Verde's appurtenances, are in 10 years Machinery has been over hauled that had not stopped turning over. for six years. No time was wasted by this company in starting active production.
 The steam shovel operations about which so much interest centered a year ago, may be begun well in ad- vance of general mining work.
 Conditions at the United Verde Extension and at the Clemenceau smelter are in kind.
 One great mine at Miami has be- gun preparing to lay in winter sup ply of coal for it's shelter
 In connection with the stirring and underground rumblings in the cop per situation, the following interview of James S. Douglas with the Verde Copper News is of especial interest:
 When there is a steady market for copper at 12 cents pound in New York, some of the Arizona mines will be able to resume production providing national, state and county taxes are reduced somewhere neal within reason.
 g This is the view taken by James S. Douglas, president of the United Verde Extension Mining company.
 "When copper can actually be solo at F cents a pound in New York city, we are likely to see a resump tion of operations here in Jerome,' declared MT Douglas.
 ''Yes, these mines here may make a profit at 12 cents, but what abou some of the higher cost producers?' the interviewer interrupted.
 "Tbe law of the survival of the fit test Will prevail, Just as tue law 0 supply and demand prevails wal the answer. Tt will be only natura if the mines that can turn out con per at the lowest price are the frs to start production after the surplu is reduced to normal and the marke becomes stabilized
 Freight Rates
 What about freight rates?"
 "The railroads know that we mus have lower freight rates and the will give them to us if they are le alone. Without too much gDvbrn ment interference they can work ou some solution of their problems.
 What astonishes me, however, the way American manufacturers ar letting their foreign business ge away from them. At the end of tn war they had the worlds business now they are sitting supine and le ting Germany seize the markets tha they should have held. Our final ciers and statesmen have utterly fai ed to cope with the problems of fo eign exchange.

Bear Escapes Its Cage.
Frightens Negroes
And Is Shot

ORANGE, Va, June 1S.-Sev-
eral colored citizens were return
ing to their homes in the Jack
sontown settlement a few nights
ago when one of them spied a
huge dark object by the roadside,
and when he approached little
nearer he was paralyzed with
fear at finding it was a bear.
His companions fled, yelling for
help. The neighborhood was
quickly alarmed and about fifty
men gathered and hastened to
the. scene. The bear was finally
killed, but so many shots were
fired that it was impossible to
decide who had the honor to bring
down the animal.
The bear proved to be one that
had made its escape from a cage
when it was kept at the home Of
George Zinn and would probably
not have harmed anyone. Mr..
Zinn will have the pelt preserved.

AIR MAIL SERVICE
ATTAINS 100 PCT.
IN RECORD WEEK
For First Time in History Per-
formance Is Perfect in
All Divisions.

For the first time in its history, the
air mail service last week had 100
per cent. performances on all diyisions,
including the trans-continental route
from New York 10 San Francisco.
Second Assistant, Postmaster General
Shaughnessy has sent out bulletin
congratulations to all the field
forces for this splendid showing.
Changes in the air mail service,
which become effective July 1, involve
the discontinuance OF the route from
Chicago to Minneapolis, and the route
from Chicago to st. Louis. The avia-
ton fields at College Park, Md, Bus
tleton, Pa, Newark, N. j., st. Louis
Mo-, Minneapolis, MINI, and La
Crosse, Wisconsin, will be abandoned
shortly after July 1.
The rans-continental route from
New York to San Francisco will be
continued as usual under appropria-
ton made by Congress. 1t has been
necessary to abandon the lateral
routes because Congress has not ap-
propriated any money for the opera
tion of these routes during the next
year. The aviators and other men on
these discontinued routes will be
transferred TO the trans-continental
route and as far as possible utilized
on regular work or on the reserve
list. The equipment will also be util-
ized in this manor.
