Carey's shot seemed to have broken

muttered the old man helplessly.
There's nothing to be done here,
said Archie. 1--WE must cross to Hud-

At Carey's downfall his men fled
through the woods. pursued by several
of the Governors party. Perky seized
the rockets and touched one after the
other to the flames of the bonfire. The
answering signal rose from the bay.

through Archie's mind The Governor
had not opened his eyes; his breath
came in gasps. at long painful inter
walls. To summon aid through the
usual channels would be to invite
scrutiny of their operations that could
only lead to complications with the
law and a resulting publicity that was
to be avoided at any hazard. II was

"There's gold for all of you!
screamed Carey to his men, and urged
them to another attack.
They advanced again, but Archie
was quick to see that they came INTO
the light reluctantly and precipitated
themselves half-heartedly into the
struggle. The Governor, too, was
aware of their diminished spirit ana
got his men in line for a charge.
We'll clean 'em up this time,

greater fury than he had yet shown.
As the invaders broke line for the
assault, he leaped at the Governor and
swung at him viciously with a rlfle.
The Governor sprang aside and the
gun slipped from Carey's hand ana
clattered against the barricade.
Angered by his failure, and hhdlhs
his men yielding, Carey abruptly
changed his tactics. He ran back be-

thought advisable to safeguard the flu

builders in regard to the depth of the
foundations. The idea of tunnel to

1t : not expected that the proposed I'M
derground road would present any very
serioU1 engineering difficulties. At pres
ent the traffic jams caused by the
stream of cars crossing Paccidilly from
Arlington street to Berkeley street often
cause a stoppage of Piccadilly traffic for
more than five minutes, and there is no
cure but in an underground road. The
proposed subway to the Mail would take
a great deal of traffic from Victoria
Station to the big northern stations.

Merging Railroads


Interstate Commerce Commissioner CLAUDE Porter
is said to framed definite plan for merging the
nations railroads into efficient and economic units He
plans to present it to the commission in the autumn
that body will resume active consideration of
proposals submitted by the roads themselves.
We hope that the Porter plan will result in definite
action by the roads the commission. There is no
reason why the government should not cooperate to
reduce wasteful and unnecessary units in ransporta
ton. That was the thought behind the consolidation
act of 1920, but we are no farther along than
we're then.
Several applications have been presented but all
have been denied after protracted hearings, be
of ilegates of financial structure Or unsat sfactory
physical arrangements
Three merger proposals are pendng-one by the
Van sweringens, one by the Baltimore & Ohio and
by the Wabash interests
The three conflict in vital pcints. 1t is for the
commission to iron out the difficulties If the roads
can not get together the comm ssion should try its
hand more forciby. Otherwise, legislation forcing
consultations should be enacted
Congress has held off up to the present 1t has teen
content to let the roads fight out; it has seemed to
approve a survival-of tine fttest struggle. But such
situation can not be tolerated much longer.
The roads remiss to some extent in the past should
forget ancient rvaries and present jealouses There
is enough business for all if the territory is aocatad

She is "a perfect LADY, suggests
harshness, dirnness and corrugation.
It also leads to the suspicion that

TERRITORY OF WYOMING
July 25-


IN July Is, 1868, the Territory
~ of Wyoming was created by
congress. 1t became a state on
July 10, 1889.
The area now included in the state
of Wyoming was acquired by the
United States in the Louisiana Pur-
chase with the exception of small
section in the southwest which was
obtained in the Mexican secession
Of 1848.
Est white explorers in Wyo-
min were Sieur de Ia Verendyre and
his sons, who passed through while
seeking trading posts in 1734-l74l.
White hunters visited Yellowstone in
1904 In 1907, fur trading posts we're
established.
The first permanent settlement,
however, was built on Fl Laramie in
1884
Although thousands Of settlers on
their way to California and the Pa
ciflc northwest passed through Wy
oming, few Of them settled within
the state. A chain Of government
posts were built to protect travellers
sg~i0st the Indians who declared
war on them in 1854.
Following a discovery or gold in
1867, South Pass City was founded
Cheyenne was laid out by the Union
Pacific railroad in the same year.
A year later, congress established
the Territory Of Wyoming.

Eye Strain May Cause Poor Health

similar outdoor tasks, require a great
deal of reading, which encourages
the development of eyestrain.
Whenever a person in such occu-
patoin develops bad nutrition, loss OF
appetite, anemia and headaches, an
inquiry should be made into the
condition of the eyes as a part OF
the complete examination.
Every one knows that after the
age of 40 the tissues begin to change
and to repair themselves with more
difficulty than previously. After
this age the eyes should be exam
ined at fairly frequent intervals,
that they may not be strained un-
duly before proper glasses are pre-
scribed
The person who has been accus-
toned to doing without glasses all
his life up to this time is likely to
put off the use Of glasses as long as
possible.
