When Clarence E. Gil more, chairman of the Texas railroad commission, was In Fort Worth a few days ago he announced that authority had been given the Southern Pacific to build a 14-mile cutoff over Its transcontinental line on the border that will eliminate Langtry from the route. The distance between Los Angeles and New Orleans thus will be shortened five milea. A new town of the same name will be located on the cutoff. Oil more has Joined a number of Texas citizens in a request to the Southern Pacific to maintain the old Bean "palace of justice," as he called it, transforming the property Into a small park. The old ramshackle Been homestead, used as justice court, billiard hall, saloon and home, stands ulong»ide the pres ent railroad track, where It attracts attention of all travelers. When the *ew line is built one will have to travel five miles overland to see the $ean place. Bean "Law Beyond the Peeoa." 4 Bean was all thai he claimed, the law beyond the Pecos. He made laws •n the spot to fit any case that came Hp, and for many years controlled the lawless element of the frontier, keeping a six-shooter strapped to tils side to back up his speedily made statutes. Forty years ago a painter stopped eflf at Langtry and painted a sign for Bean that remains over the place, the Sign reading: "Judge Koy Bean, Justice of the Peace. Law West of the Pecos." The artist was paid In liquor by Bean for his work. Mere lack of Jurisdiction never worried Roy Dean Although without legal authority, he tried men for murder, highway robbery and other district court cases and saw to It~that his convictions were carried out He likewise granted divorces. No one interfered with l|im. It didn't pay. , Once a Mexican couple called upon ill# asking to be married, but they bad forgotten to obtain a license. "No matter," ruled Bean. "I'll marty you right now and send to Delrlo for the license." And he did. Several fflontliK later the two appeared before Bean and sought a divorce and the western justice, not hesitating a second. irfprovlsed a divorce ceremony and told the two their marital rela Hons had ceased. When District Judge J. B. Falvey of El Paso heard of this and protested. Bean had his answer ready. "I'm running this office on common sense principles," he wrote to Fftlvey. "1 reckon a man has got the right to ando anything be has done. I married this couple, so 1 had the right to unmarry them." But there are plenty of Bean storlee (bat surpass this, Including the renaming of the town. Formerly It had been known as Vinagaroon, the name of a deadly border Insect But one day the pretty Lily Langtry, actress of international fame, was traveling from San Francisco to New Orleans and stopped off to visit Bean. Ordinarily the Southern Pacific train stopped In Vinagaroon but a few minutes, but the conductor obligingly held his train one hour for the Jersey Lily, as she was known. Named for Lily Langtry. Bean was much impressed. sfteWed a wide smile through his tl\lck whiskers and decided to hold a special court In honor of the actress. A Mexican was charged witH assault to murder, a jury of border cowboys found him guilty and Bean gave him a sentence of six months' Imprisonment None of Bean's prisoners ever went to the penitentiary. Instead they worked out their sentences around the Bean place. Lily Langtry presented the* old Justice with a photo of herself, which so, charmed blm that he announced there and then that the name of the town thereafter would be Langtry. He placed the photo on a shelf beside a copy of the Texas revised statutes, many years out of date, but which never concerned Bean. The court was his own bartender. When the hour came for a session Bean would warn customers to get their drinks, remove his apron, walk around In front and announce the session had begun. "Anyone want a drink before court opens?" he always asked. "I can't adjourn court to get any for you fellers." If a trlul appeared somewhat lengthy Bean would recess court every half hour to enable every one to quench his thirst. Every ^one "quenched* to be on the good side, of the court. When prisoners were not at work Bean chained them to a post near the saloon, a punishment so dreaded that It broke up livestock thefts and border smuggling more effectively than auy present method. on Welland Canal 'Tis Done Sometimes Teacher--Willie, what is paint?

Dublin.--A theory tlutt the Irish are descendants of the Eskimos has been advanced by Doctor Porkory, a Berlin professor of philology. In a lecture at University college. -There certainly is such a possibility," he said. "In Isolated parts of Ireland and Scotland are to be found types with Mongol features. oblique eyes, straight black hair and thick lips. Anthropologically these types could only be connected with the Eskimos." He believed the first Inhabitants of Ireland arrived there about 4,000 B. C., before which time the country was covered with Ice. * *-H- I I I 1 1 1 I I 1 1 1 I I 1 1 1 1 1 I I New Ditch Will Let Ocean Liners Pass Niagara Falls. Toronto.--A few days ago the last contract was let for the completion ot the new Wellund canal connecting Lake Erie with Lake Ontario, forming the first link In the scheme of navigation which will enable ocenn liners, instead of halting at Montreal, to steam westward to the far inland ports of Duluth and Port Arthur and all Intervening points. Without much flourish or advertisement, work on the new Welland canal aas been proceeding for IS years. It will be completed, according to, pressut estimate, in five years morel Do lay has been due to the war. From an engineering point of tlew, the new Welland Is a mightier feat than the building of the Panama canal. While It Is only 25 miles long us coinpared wlih Panama's 50, Panama's summit is only 85 feet above Its entrances while the Welland must overcome a lift of 326 feet, which, owing to the falls of Niagara and accompanying rapids, separates the higher level of Lake Erie from Lake Ontario. As a consequence lifting apparatus is on a colossal scale. To give some Idea of the magnitude of the work it may he noted that If all the earth and rock to be excavated were loaded on dump cars the tralu would stretch for 1,5<J0 miles, exactly the length of the great wall of China. The amount of concrete to be used would be sufficient to build a solid concrete wall 20 feet high, 6 feet wide and 100 miles long. Rebuilt Three TI A hundred years ago the first IMI land canal was built, connecting the present terminus. Port Colborne, on Lake Erie, wifh Port Dalhousle, on Lake Ontario. "Jhree times the work has been reconstructed, and the existing canal accommodates a substantial share of lake navigation. But the new enterprise is infinitely more ambitious. The northern or Lake Ontario terminal has been moved from Port Dalhousle three or four miles east to Port Weller (named after the engineer). The canal will follow an almost straight line, and will be live miles shorter than the old. There will be only seven locks on the new as compared with 27 on the old. Not only the largest steamers on the Great Lakes can come through the locks, but come through In one-third the time. Instead of 24 hours for passage through the present structure, it is estimated that only eight hours will be required for the new. Another way to estimate the Immensity of fhis undertaking, calculated to cost $50,000,000 even at 1U12 prices, is to say that while the present canal will accommodate only boats at the most 3QP feet In leugth. th* new one can let through vessels measuring 800 feet Such a length is 200 feet more than the largest boat now plying the lakes. Among Largest Locks In World. Some of the new locks are among the lurgest in thj world. The locks of the present canal are only 250 feet loug, 43 feet wide and 14 feet In depth. The new are not only 800 feet loug, hut 80 feet wide, with 30 feet of water over the gate-sills at extreme low stages of the lake. Capacity loads for vessels during the present low water levels In the old canal are 71,000 bushels. Not only will the Graut Morden, with her 500,000 bushels and 22 feet draft, pass through the new locks, but have 8 feet to spare. It will take just exactly eight minutes to Hear this gigantic freighter through each lift. These huge lock compartments, built throughout of concrete and founded on bedrock, will have walls towering 82 feet above the gate^sllla. Two of the locks will have walls over 100 feet high. The gates, a notable feature, are to be among the largest In the world, weighing 1,100 tons each. Three of them are twin locks In flight, similar to the Gatun locks of the Panama canal, that Is, each pair rising one above the other. For construction purposes the work of the canal was divided Into nine sectlous, No. 1 being at the Luke Ontario end of the canal, and No. 0 at the Lake Erie or Port Colborne end. The first three sections Include the Lake Ontario entrance and all the seven lift locks, each one of which will raise or lower a vessel 46V& feet. These sections, begun In 1912, will all be ready for navigation In three years. Section No. 5, between Xhorold and Port Colborne, renlly an enlargement of tbe present canal. Is the only section completed and In use. Section No. 4, south of Thorold, Is almost finished. The contract for section No. 6 has Just been awarded. Offer Wild Horses for Sale at $5 a Head Portland, Ore.--Stockmen In eastern Oregon have promised that they will deliver between 30,000 and 50,000 wild horses to the railroad at $5 a head If there Is a market available, C. r„ Wade, field officer for the Oregon Humane society, reported, on bis return to Portland after two months In tbe eastern portion of the state. Already the animals are .being rounded up In the southern portion of the state and shipped to Petaluma, Cal„ lie declared. Among the wild horses Is some stock of value, said Mr. Wade, but the majority are small, scrubby anlmala lie favored the Idea of using them for fertilizer, thus making room on the range for cattle with real marketable value. m i i i f i u i i m m i i i m •--the tame dependable reme^P that over a period of more than fifty years has been found so reliable m the treatment ox catarrh and diseases of catarrhal nature.
