One May Carry a Picture of a Friend Upon His Flesh Perpetually. This new scientific discovery is hound to he picturesque and interesting, and must attract universal attention. A Roumanian chemist named Dinkeresco has discoverer! a means of combining the substances which are used in sensitizing paper for photographic purposes so that they can he applied to the human cuticle without injuring it, and the skin thus he made a sensitive plate for the printing of photography. Dinkeresco's remarkable discovery ie a combination of photography and the etching process, aud that to some extent the image is "bitten" into the cuticle. At any rate, the impression is permanent, the image is clear and distinct, and the skin is not made a negative, but really a sort of sensitized! paper. The impression does not wear away with the changing of the tissues and the renewal of the surface of the skin because the substances or changes which have been produced by the process of photography are renewed according to the mollifications produced hy the "biting" process, just as those of a tattooed outline are. And whatever the mechanical means employed, the results are remarkable. By this means every human being becomes a sort of photograph album. The likeness of his friends, landscape views associated with his childood or with sijnificant events in his life, portraits of the great men and heroes whom he admires, aud many other things may be reproduced beautifully aud permanently on his surface. Chief Health Officer Montzambert Visits Rossland Dr. Montzambert, Dominion chief health officer at Ottawa, with his son, arrived in Rossland Saturday night from Dawson and British coast cities and Seattle, on his inspection tour. The du.ties of his office require him to make such a tour periodically throughout the Dominion. He at once called on Dr. A. C. Sinclair, the Dominion quarantine officer of that district, and for the first time he was informed to his astonishment that quarantine had been raised some time ago at this point. He called up hy telephone immediately the Boundary quarantine officers at Grand Forks,Greenwood and Midway, and was told by them th.it quarantine was still maintained and that no order had been received to have it removed. Quarantine is ordered to be maintained along the coast of British Columbia and to he continued in the Boundary country, until Dr. Montzambert returns to Ottawa to confer with the department representing the whole matter. Dr. Montzambert seemed deeply dxeicised that in coming to Rossland, "the gateway into the interior of British Columbia,'' as he said, quarantine regulations had been varied during his absence in the North, while it was maintained all over the province elsewhere. He found smallpox prevailing in Seatte and other Washington centres, though of a mild type.���Rossland Record C. P. R. HOUSEBOAT. A Most Delightful Outing Home For Those Who Desire It. The new C. P. R. house boat which is now completed and ready for occupation has heen visited by a large number of Nelson people, all of whom declare it an ideal outing home. The boat is completely furnished in every respect. The four state rooms with their four double and four single bertha are equipped with every thing one would desire iu a bedroom at home. In the dining room is all that a dining room requires, silverware, glassware, etc., and the room itself is sufficiently large enough to accommodate any party that could travel on the boat. The kitchen, too, is complete, and in fact, there is nothing lacking anywhere. All of the rooms are carpeted and the hallway is laid with oilcloth. Upstairs you are in the open air, with an awning to shield you from the sun and a hammock if you would lay down and read and rest. No more delightful place to spend a week or two, could he imagined, provided, of course, the boat is anchored in some one of the thousand beauty spots of Kootenay lake. Nowhere, perhaps, in the Dominion of Canada is there a body of water offering to the man of the reei and the fly or he of the gun such inducements as are offered anywhere on Kootenay lake and nowhere are there more delightfully secluded places than can be found here. And it is to give the visitors the opportunity of seeing all this, under most pleasant conditions, that the C. P. R. bas caused to be built this house boat. It is to be rented to parties and at a figure which makes it within the reach of everyone who can afford an outing. The boat itself will rent at $5 per day, with a minimum charge of $20. It will be towed to any point that can he reached from Nelson at the regular towage charge of 50c a mile, with a mini mum towage charge of $5. All that those who rent the boat have to do is to stork it with eatables and drinkables. Nothing else is required by them unless they desire a servant and this the C. P. R. officials will undertake tn secure for them. ������ 1��� MATTERS OF LOCAL INTEREST. Engineer Wm. Anderson was in Nelson a few days of the past, week. The Misses Grant of Gladstone were in attendance at the social Thursday night. Ties are being gotten out at the sawmill for a railway track to be run through the commodious yards at the new site. The church social given in Montana hall Thursday night was attended with the usual gratifying success and enjoyment. Rev. Mr. Ba/ton will preach his farewell sermon to-morrow night, and will return to his studies in Toionto some time next week. A. C. Scott, the harber, who recently pre-empted a portion of the abandoned Graham homestead, has moved onto his new premises. Mr. and Mrs. V. M.mnier and their guests, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Bertonneau, of Spokane, were visiting in Greenvvoi d this week. The Philippine war has cost the U. S. government $186,678,000, and about 2,500 soldiers' lives, and what has it got for this enormous expenditure? Mr I. Langley, whrt had been in the tailoring business the past year or more, left for his former place of business in Winnipeg, Wednesday. He was accompanied by his son George. The salmon are running quite freely in the river at present. An Indian on Thursday took five out of the water weighing 20 to 30 pounds each. We did not learn hy what method It is a matter for profound gratu- lation throughout British Columbia that the C. P. R. authorities permitted the government to appropriate any money at all from the public, treasury for the improvement and building of wagon roads. The road hetween here and Gladstone parallels the railway line, hence no appropriation need he looked for to improve that. Chinese Patriotic Fund. Vancouver, Sept, 11.���The British Columbia Chinese to-day cabled $20,000 to China to assist in defraying the cost of raising a reform army for the purpose of protecting the Chinese emperor. TERRIBLE CATASTROPHE ON TEXAS COAST Galveston and Othei Towns on the Gulf Coast Swept Away. Last Saturday one of the most destructive storms ever known on the continent swept the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, the city of Galveston, Texas, being the greatest sufferer from it. Thousands of lives and trillions of dollars worth of property were lost. The loss of human lives will, when the horrors of the catastrophe are fully known, reach into the thousands���between three and four thousand. The property loss ii estimated at between $15,000,000 and $20,000,000. To get tbe bodies of the dead removed before pestilence set in they were taken out to sea and thrown overboard, many of which washed ashore again. Galveston is located on an inland sand bar only six or eight feet above the gulf tide level, and was swept by raging waters from both sides. Owing to depredations by ghouls martial law has been established to prevent robbery of the dead, ears and fingers being cut from the corpses by vandali6ts to obtain valuable jewels. The scene of disaster beggars description. Aid is pouring in from all over the country. The C. P. R. is negotiating with the Townsite company for the purpose of completing arrangements begun some time ago to acquire full title to a smelter site in Cascade. It is only a matter of exchange of local property interests. There is no foundation for the rumor that it is a move on the part of the railroad to block right of way against proposed opposition railway enterprise. This question is in no wajr involved by the transaction. Victoria boasts of a Chinatown all its own. September 7th on our calendar is August 15 on ihe Chinese, This date is the occasion these government pets celebrate the "Feast of the Moon." While thus occupied five of them fell out of an upper story window all in a heap. This painful mishap caused much anxiety among the government supporters. It is feared it may in some way interfere with international commercial relations. Lord and Lady Minto "have came anil have went." Blessed be the name of the Lord���Minto. At last reports the tail of the Galveston cyclone was lashing the great lakes into fury. Croker, the great Tammany leader, bets $50,000 to $20,000 on- the election of Bryan. urn ��� ���mm mm-m THE CASCADE RECORD September 15,1000 ! ���^ ��� Mi THE ENGLISH STORE.

The Hon. W. S. Fielding, M. P.I Minister of Finance, says in effect that a result of the plebiscite showed 224 per cent electors favouring "prohibition", 21 j per cent against and that 56 per cent didn't care a shebeen anyhow. But suppose it had been otherwise, suppose a great majority had been in favor of making people sober by act of Parliament, would they have done any good? Not one hit of it. The New Brunswick fiasco alone indicates that, and scoreB of examples elsewhere, public and private all illustrate it. Besides which, Tom, Dick and Harry have no more right to dictate what Smith sha'nt drink, than Brown, Jones and Robinson have the right of so working a feeble minded legislature as to ordain by act of Parliament that teetotallers shall not wear trousers, hut just struggle through life in frocks���like the other old women. neglects his family that no one else may touch an alcoholic beverage but once you widen your scope of examination you find you can prove nothing at all. Take recent parliamentary statistics in Great Britain. At Coventry with 558 licenced houses per 100,000 population,the prosecutions for drunkenness were 91 per 100,- 000. At Bontle with only 132 houses per 100,000 the prosecutions were 2515 per 100,000. You see if any particular sect or sex is to begin legislating with regard to intemperance, where is it to stop? There is just as much intemperate eating as drinking, just as much intemperate language as either and all other kinds of excess to hoot. It all becomes a question of survival of the fittest. If a man be such a fool as to handicap himself in the race of life with a stomach full of whiskey and a head full of snakes so much the better for the man who has the decency and self respect to avoid such impedimenta. There is an old German saying "Gegen Dummheit ka- empfen Goetter selbst vergebens." That being admitted what chance have narrow-minded teetotalers and cringing legislators? Just think of it for a moment. Suppose there had only been one house at Bootle, a simple rule of three sum would indicate about 75,000 prosecutions for the offence of drunkenness, per 100,000 inhabi tants. Then suppose you closed that house by act of parliament and started, as you inevitably would, a whole lot of inexperienced people making their own whisky, neither words nor figures could picture the result, Not even a reincarnated Cruikshank could do it. It would not be mere drunkenness you would have to deal with then. You would have poison and madneBsand bigamy and murder and stomach ache and divoce and all other kinds of luxuries thrown in. pagne at fifteen and eighteen francs per bottle are sold���to say nothing of illimitable and strangely incongruous grog au rhum. And yet 1 do not hesitate one moment to say that Brussels is a more sober and better ordered town than Glasgow or Dublin. Speaking personally of three somewhat similar sized cities that I know intimately, Melbourne, Manchester and Brussels, I would lay it down emphatically that the one in which there iB most tinkering interference there is most drunkenness; where the cost of inebriety is lowest there is least of it; in short, the more un hampered the method of distribu tion the lower the resulting degradation and distress. If 1, being a free man, wanted whisky, all the legislation hetween Ottawa river and the River Styx would not prevent me getting it, noteven if I had to burglariously annex if from a teetotaler's private supply; and there are thousands of people in Canada who want whiskey worse than I do. In fact I like the very best when I take it at all. And anyhow on what basis is legislation to be commenced or continued? The whole subject is bristling with some of the most extraordinary and incomprehensible anomalies discoverable. There is no more logic in the statistics of drunkenness and its corollaries than there is in inebriation itself. No Bane man can argue as the average teetotaler might, that because BiliouB Beardsly of Boosyville gets drunk, batters his wife and Why too, should Norwich with 611 sources of supply of liquid damnation, to every 100,000 of her population only be able to show 87 police court victims, when Liverpool with but 412 can trot out 1532? Why is it that Manchester with a most expensive license, strict supervision, rigid 11 p. m. closing and drinks costing from 3 to 18 cents each, constantly exhibits infinitely more drunkenness than say Brussels, a somewhat similar . sized town, where a beer licence costs only 10 dollars, a full license $40, houses remain open as long as customers come, supervision is lax and some drinks cost less than half a cent a glass? In Belgium, practically a conscription country, there are more licensed hotels, cafes, estaminets, brasseries, tavernes, bodegas, etc., etc., than there are soldiers in the army. Iu one Brussels square alone, out of 37 buildings, including the Mai- son (hi Roi and the Hotel de Ville, which occupy almost half the wall- space, no less than twenty-five are licensed for the sale of intoxicating drinks���at two-fifths of one cent per glass. In the same town at Carnaval time in one building on one night as much as 5,000 quarts of cham- In fact, there is no logic about the whole evil business, except in the dividends therefrom. I remember an old picture representing a thirsty toper accosting a surfeited brother hanging on to the lamp outside a London tavern : "Do they sell good liquor in there?" he asked. "Hie���L-look at me for fourpence- ha'penny," was the satisfied reply. How far would 4^d���nine cents���go in this country in honest drink ? And yet, for just a little more than that sum, say the price of three glasses of rot-gut whisky or red-ruin-rum, a man can buy more agony and horror and oblivion and general delight���and hell��� than the devil himself could supply. can republic under the name of the Transvaal Lord Roberts iB reported to have said : "I have today issued under Her Majesty's warrant of July 4th proclamations announcing that the Transvaal will hereafter form a part Her Majesty's dominions." Why was this thus ? Why July 4th ? Was it mere chance that the anniversary of the declaration of independence of the great American republic should have been made the doomsday of the miserably unprogressive community undeservedly claiming the same conglomerate appellation in South Africa ? Was it so written in sorrow, in anger or in memory of the days "When George the Third was King ?" It pounds like tbe dead Disraeli, it may display the hand and mind of Chamberlain; Salisbury's style is too transparent, I trow. Anyhow there'll be the devil to pay when Bryan & Co. get on to the thing. Someday the teetotallers and pro* hibitionists who are now posing as experts on intoxication, yet claiming that they do not know the smell i?f drink themselves, may commence to see this. When they do, when they cease worrying the sinning and pitiful victim, and turn their attention to the sinful causes; when they cease ranting against all intoxicants, and know enough to distinguish the vile concoctions that cause the real trouble, from honest beverages which have a legitimate-use, then will the general public see reason in their actions. When, moreover, they are prepared to back their newly acquired knowledge by wholesale prosecutions and harassings of the vendors of the devil-begotten and hell-distributing fluid, then will men, and the sons and wives and daughters of men rise up and call them blessed. Prohibition is mere vanity and vexation of spirit. What is needed is the placing on the statute books of laws making it a fifteen year offence for saloonkeepers to have on their premises any of the ''knock-out" brands, or failing the enactment of fresh legislation to see that existing laws are made effective. I was born and brought up in a Lancashire town bordering on Yorkshire and Cheshire. Consequently I have been for many years laboring under the impression that I knew what a ham was. The other day I parted with $2.20 in order to acquire a specimen. It was supposed to be of superfine brand. After inspection I borrowed a Webster's dictionary to see what I might be legitimately entitled to expect. The description ran thusly : "The thigh of a beast, especially a hog, salted and dried." The ham I acquired, however, must have been a freak, being composed of the following ingredients : It was assumed to weigh 12 lbs. Seventeen ounces consisted of paint and canvas and greasy brown paper, then came a coat of whitey-green mould or mildew or verdigris or mushroom spawn or something similar, after that a two-inch layer of evil smelling fat, then I struck something which was, I suppose, the ham proper, about 4 lbs. of it,finally ,of course course there the bone. That works nut about 55 cents per pound for the ham which seems dear in spite of the quantity of saltpetre in it. However, I'm not complaining; indeed, I am very sorry I could not buy the whole hog or coyote or whatever the "beast" was, because I could have resold it to Barnum's show at a big price. It was evidently a double-header, inasmuch as, from evidence now in possession of tuy cats, it can be plainly demonstrated that it had shoulder joints where most animals keep their thigh bones. P. S.���The poor cats have been sick ever since. "Tbe smartest looking teller May be a reg'lar fool��� You're alias kicked the highest By the meekest-lookin male."

Every time we des-ire to go a few miles from our abodes it is not pleasant to have to travel over a dangerous trail or pay tribute to the "free hand" despots On the subject of roads the Vancouver Province haB the following sensible say: If one were asked to name the chief requirement of British Columbia at the present time���tbe first necessity of the province, taking precedence over added capital and augmented population���the thing of all things most needed to promote development and prosperity of the province and the happiness of its inhabitants, the answer, on the mainland at all events, would certainly be "good roads." The "good" might in many cases be dispensed with, on the principle thut any roads would be better than none, but it is lack of these avenues of communication in almost every direction that, more than anything else, is retarding settlement, investment, and development. Mineral wealth lies dormant; rich' farming areas remain an untillied wilderness; the natural capital of the country continues an unproductive asset, a talent buried in a j napkin���and all for the want of roads. It is with full knowledge of these present conditions and of the fact that no better investment offers itself to the consideration of the government, that the Inland board of trade has taken the initiative in a "good roads" campaign and in connection therewith has called a convention to be held in Kamloops on Thursday, the 27th instant, for the organization of a provincial Good Roads Association. The movement will unquestionably have the sympathy, as it should command the co-operation, of every true British Columbian. Similar good roads associations have proven a power for practical reform in the older province of Ontario, and no one will dispute the opportunities for energetic, useful work that British Columbia presents for such an organization. "We Want Good Roads," should be the rallying cry. In matters of competition between Canadian or English and U. S. manufacturers, ihe latter are generally successful by reason of the promptness and alacrity with ! which they till an order. So it is in the development of almost any enterprise. The Cascade waterpower development work should be Hearing completion in the interest of tbe investors, instead of dragging along over years of lost opportuni ty. Many enterprises which bud designed availing themselves of power promised by the Cascade Witter Power company having tired of waiting or despaired of its delivery, have provided themselves with steam plants, which, if not of a capacity desired, will be made to serve their purpose, and will to this extent cut off the demand for power that might have been supplied from this point at a profit to the local power company. On account of this delay, what has taken place in the past will be repeated in the future, to the great injury of the local enterprise. Trouble is 'looming up iu the distance for Uncle Hum in his netv territorial acquisitions. The Filo- pinos refuse to admit they are van- vuished, and it has been discovered that the Cubans do not take kindly to his designs and plans relative to the passage of their island home into his stoniache, and are .ecretly scheming to possess themselves of the scalp of the old gentleman with striped pants and newphangled imperialistic ideas under a plug bat. The onerous war tax, a prospective large standing army rendered necessary by expansion [olicies and the likelihood of interminable international complications are causing the conservative following of the lanky chap much anxiety, as many of his former staunch supporters are refusing to "follow the flag" into foreign territory simply to gratify his longings for imperialistic aggrandizement. Mr. W. H. Aldrich, manager of the Trail smelter works, was in Cascade Wednesday, having driven down from Grand Forks in the forenoon. He made a personal examination of the Cascade Water Power company's enterprise here, expressing himBelf as agreeably surprised at not only its magnitude, but also at the completeness and thoroughness of the work already accomplished. His visit and personal inspection of the dam and flumeway may be the first step in the direction of an important deal soon to be consummated here, and it may have no significance whatever. However, were we so inclined we could make the incident a basis for a big boom story that might please aud encourage the local reader, but we prefer to await a more substantial foundation. The smelter scheme has been fully "worked" heretofore. Mr. Aldrich wasoneof a party of railway officials and machinery men paying the Boundary a visit, and he rejoined the company on the east-bound afternoon train. The Dominion Health Regulations are peculiar. There is supposed to be a general quarantine still in operation in this province, as will be seen by an extract printed in another column relative to Chief Health Officer Dr. Montzambert, of Ottawa, While health officers are on duty at Greenwood, Midway and Grand Forks,Cascade, a prominent point of entry from tbe United States, against which country the quarantine iR mainly placed, is left unofficered. However, we do not urge the appointment of an oflicer at,this place, for we consider it unnecessary, and decidlyso in the towns mentioned. Establishing quarantine regulations in towns remote from the boundary line and lea vine the towns on the line, as at Carson and Cascade, open to free entry, seem to be queer methods. MINREAL ACT.

There are about 15,000 people there^ many of them in destitute circumstances, and as winter approaches much uneasiness prevails among the unfortunates, as they can see no prospects of get- ing away and nothing ahead but suffering and perhaps death.

Jack Lawlor, owner of the big Lawlor Building at the northwest corner of King and Yonge streets, has been killed in South Africa. He was an officer of the 6th Inniskilling Dragoons, which belongs to General French's division. Lieut. Lawlor was born in Toronto 26 years ago, and his father Dr. Michael Lawlor of Spandia avenue, died when "Jack" was a few months old. The property at King and Yonge streets was inherited by young Mr. Lawlor from hiB father who in turn had inherited it from his father. It is now one of the most valuable locations in the city. Young Mr. Lawlor had many friends in Toronto. He was educated in Europe, and took to the army as a profession. He was here five years ago and left the impression of a big, handsome and genial chap that it would be a shame to kill. Mr. J. J. Foy, Q. C, M. L. A��� for South Toronto, was his guardian and the custodian of his legal affairs, and it was Mr. Foy who received the cable from Mrs. Lawlor, the young man's mother, who is at present in Dublin, Ireland, stating simply, "Jack's killed." Mr. Foy said laBt night that Mr. Xawlor was a keen soldier and was particularly well liked by the friend" he made on his last visit here. He received the major portion of his education at Beaumont college, in England. Among the relatives of the dead soldier in Toronto are Mr. Frank Lee of W. A. Lee & Co., who is a cousin, and Mr. 0. E. Caron of Gould Btreet iB an uncle. Whoa, Ball. An old man in Georgia, named Jack Baldwin, says the Atlanta Journal, having lost his hat in a dry well, hitched a rope to a stump and let himself down. A wicked josher named Neal came along just then, and quietly detached a bell from Baldwins old blind horse, approached the well, bell in hand, and began to ting-a-ling.

The death penalty has been abolished in Italy, but a fate far more awful than death awaits the criminal guilty of offences like that of Bresci. Joined to his penal servitude is a ten year's term of solitary confinement. A man condemned to this punishment, before being placed in his cell, iB shut up in the "secret cell," about six feet long by four wide, and half lighted. A few inches above the floor is a plank half a yard wide and slightly inclined, which serves as a bed. The food is bread and water, passed through the little window called the ''spy" by the gaoler, the door always kept rigorously closed. The prisoner is condemned to absolute silence; if he breaks the rule he is subjected to other punishments, namely, the strait-waistcoat, irons, and strait-bed. A prisoner who attempts his own life in any way is put in the strait-waist-coat, and at night in a sort of sack, in which he cannot move. When the prisoner has suffered the punishment of the "secret cell" for a longer or shorter time, he is removed to the cell where he must remain for 10 years. Its size depends on the construction of the whole prison. These cells are only lighted from the corridor, and are generally about two yards square. The bed is the usual plank, and bread and water is the food. In winter a single blanket is allowed at night. Silence is still enjoined; the only concession is the door be- iug opened a few inches. The food is given only once in 24 hours. If the prisoner is sick the doctor can have him removed to the prison infirmary, where he is kept in a separate chamber. Prisoners in solitary confinement can neither read, write, smoke nor work. They are condemned to absolute idleness and absolute silence; they either go mad or die, The extra punishment of the "iron" is terrible. The handcuffs are joined by chains to similar rings on the ankles. The prisoner is seated on a bench the shape of an ass's back. At night, still in irons, he can lie on his plank. The "strait-bed" is a strong wooden case resembling a coffin without a lid. At the foot the sufferer's feet are fastened in a kind of stock, no that the legs cannot be moved, while the arms are confined by the strait- waistcoat. Unless by order of the governor the prisoner cannot be moved, and the gaoler has to feed him. At the exposition lvcenily held in Toronto there was on exhibition a woman 33 years of age, a native of Cuba, and weighing only 174 lbs. Her height is 26 inches. In Zante, one of the Ionian Islands, there is a petrolium spring which has been known for nearly 3,000 years. It is mentioned by HerodotUB. I Black Eye Foi C. P. R. Toronto Telegram. By a majority of one or two vot>s the British Columbia legislature In- decided to charter the Kettle River Valley railwiiy despite the opposition of the C. P. R. The chartering of an independent line to Grand Forks is the first black eye which the C. P. R. has received at fie hands of a Canadian legislative body for many a long day. An opposition which stood by the people seems to have been real \ the foundation of a successful attack on the C. P. R. monopoly. The opposition tas recruited by n sufficient number of government supporters to pass the charter for a competing line. When the corporations do not own both government and opposition, as at Ottawa ami Toronto, the fight for public rights is not always a losing battle. Gold Commissioner Kirkup has appointed C. A. Sloess of Columbia, to look after the building of the bridges, and says that the government is to appoint a man as road commissioner for the whole of the Kettle river district, but he does not know as yet who this man will be. Whoever he is he will have charge of the construction of all roads and trails of this section, including the road to Franklin camp. Mr. Stoess will have absolute charge of the erection of both the bridges across the river at Columbia, and the bridge over the North Fork at some point near Eagle City. The matter of selection of site and everything pertaining to the bridges in any way will be left to him. bis only instructions being to see the work done in the best possible manner for the money appropriated.���G. F. Gazette. The annual report of the Geological Survey for 1898 has been issued. It shows that the grand total of mineral production of Canada in 1898 amounted to $28,661,010. The production in the previous year was $26,661,430. The value of metallic mineral was $21,705,854, and non-metallic $16,655,156, the balance, $300,000, being the estimated value of products unspecified and unreported. Last Monday H. H. Forrest, of Winnipeg, Dominion government inspector of railways, arrived in town with Roadmasler Johnson, of the C. P. R. for the purpose of inspecting the branch from Phoenix to Eholt. The gentlemen took a handcar from here to Eholt. Mr. Forrest also inspected the Dead- wood spur and the line from Greenwood to Midway. The inspecton is taken as an indication that the C. P. R. will shortly begin running a passenger coach into Phoenix and also to Midway.���Phoenix Pioneer. A qualification for police duty��� must be able to walk while sleeping.
