A KKENE'
To Our Citizens on inc Ice Ques- tfon. and Something That Past Experience Mas
 Proved,

In Saturdays issue of the Tucson
 Star, we notice that the Arctic Ice
 Company and that the Natural Ice Company of that city have pooled
 their issues, and the price of ice has
 gone up from one to two cents per pound The cause of this combina- ton can be stated in very few
 words, The N,tural Ice Company
 redaeea the price of ice to half cent ger pouhdr causing the Arctic Ice Con 'pany to either ehut down OF pool with them and raise the price, As finer. is uot business enough for two, and notha aug in it for one, the pFoposi- ton was accepted and the machine (Artic Ice Compaly) has to lay idle In this connection 1t would be well for our citizens to take q lesson from Tucson, ard be very careful about letting the hame thing occur in this city. or the same thing might occur, or another ice company might come in and cause competition for a short time and sell it for very low prices, but it would take but very little while for the weaker to suCcumb, and enter into & combination with the stronger company, and consumers would have to pay from four to five cents per pound for their ice this summer.

'Eyle Inventor of the Circular.
 Saw.

In lonely, secluded spot in the northwest corner of the cemetery, near the ever-beautiful little of Rich mond, Kalamazoo county, Mich, the reader can find on pure white mar ble slab nearly concealed Grom view by large cluster of lilac bushes, en- graved the simple inscription: Ben jamin Cummings, born 1772, dead A. D. 1843" And who was Benjamin Cummings? He was the inventor of the circular nows now in use in this country and in Europe. Nearly sixty years ago, at Burtonville, New York and Amsterdam, this man hammered out, at his own blacksmith's anvil, the first circular known to mankind. He was a noted pioneer in Richmond ; a first cousin to one of the Presidents of the United States; a slave-owner in New York State; a leading Mason in the days of Morgan, at whose table the very elect of the great State of New York feasted and drank freely of his choice liquors and wines, vessel owner on the North River before the days of steamboats; a captain in the war of 1872, where, after having three horses shot from under him, with one stroke of his sword he brought his superior officer to the ground for in- suit, and because he was traitor and 8 coward; and after having been court-martialed, instead of being shot he was appointed Colonel in his place. In this lonely grave are the ashes vf the man who, nearly seventy years ago, at Albany, N. Y, took up and moved bodily large brick buildings, and, to the wonder and astonishment of the world, constructed mile and half of the Erie canal through a bed of rock, and who also built, on contract, those first low bridges over the same. He also aided ill the con- | struction of the first ten miles of rail- roed built in the United States, and founded both the villages of Esper- ence and BOstonville, on the old Scho- harie, near Amsterdam. The study and aim of this mans life appeared to be to do that which none other could accomplish, ana when the object sought Was secured, he passed it as quietly by as he would the peb- bles on the sea-shore.-From the Can fnrnia Architect.

The True Ring

We have spoken with number oi people in regard to the Anti-Chinese agitation in this city, and with one or two exceptions they all agree that the Chinese are a curse to the town, and should not be patronized, but that some means should be substituted to do the washing that is now being done by the Chinese.
 We have learned upon good author ity that a party of gentlemen in this city propose to remedy this objection by starting a steam laundry, will to- morrow start gentleman out to canvass this city for the signatures of citizens who will agree to patronize the same if it is started. We learn further that the company to agree to charge no more than is being charged by the Chinese now. Let everybody sign the agreement and the Chinese will soon leave us

Our citizens nearly all remember, Austin Eeeley. an old resident of this city, who was barkeeper for Kelly and other saloon men in this city and will be surprised to read the following dispatch, taken from the San Fran cisco Chronicle of the 2lst inst;
 "PLACERvILLE, Cal, Feb, 20.-Mrs. Lucy Rice, an aged well-to-do widow, living alone near Clarksville, this county, was last evening choked to death by her son-in-law, A1stin Keeley, during quarrel. There were no wit nssses, Keeley, who gave himself into custody, claims that Mrs. Rice attacked him with hammer and to protect himself he grabbed her by the throat and held her to quiet her, but held on too long, choking her to death. A deputy, sheriff and the District-At- torney are investigating the case. The tragedy is the result of long-stand- ing family quarrel. Mrs. Rice was aged 70 years and Keeley is over 50."

 Although the Epitaph has had two issues since Reilly won the suit against land shark Berry, on the townsite question, it has never had word to say in regard to the matter or even publish tho verdict.

 A deplorable state of affairs exist at the cemetery in Copiapo, Chile. A lake has been formed, the waters of which have inundated the cemetery.

former. The Northwestern roads concluded
to enter into no special agreement with the
Eastern lines, and would continue the pol

The reducing of passenger rates in Da-
kOta and the western territories by the
| Northern Pacific road seems to have given
the people of Montana, especially. general
satisfaction. 1t was move entirely uneX-
pected by them and they appreciate it.
There are some who can't see why the
rates in all the territories should Lot be
figured on basis of cents mile as they
are in Dakota. They do not stop to tn nix
that the road running through Montana and
Idaho needs more money for its operation
than does that portion lying in Dakota.
Through Dakota, railroads are easily AMI
comparatively easily constructed. the
country is so level and devoid of mountain
ranges and rivers. but in Montana the
engineers are MT by the Rocky
mountains and one mile of road built and
operated over and through these costs five
times as much as a mile constructed and
operated on the plains of Dakota. The re-
ductiOn has been comparatively greater
benefit to the people of Montana than to
those of Dakota, since on many of the
branches transportation has been as high as
10 cents mile in the past. and this rate
has been cut down One-half, while the high
est rate in Dakota was only 8 cents mile.
OF course. these rates apply to local traffic.
more than cents a mile. trifle more than
local rates given by the old established roads
running through tn ckly populated coun-
try. The Northern Pac fc road in Mon
tana and Idaho runs through miles and
miles of country devoid of inhabitants,
and from which they never receive
cents benefit. This is. of course not 50.
west of the Rocky mountain range in
Oregon and Washington territory were
fOur-cent mile rate is made 1t will
probably be a long time before the resi-
dents of Montana and Idaho get better
rate than will be adopted by the Northern
Pacific road Jan. l, as cents mile is as
cheap as IA road running through that coun-
try can afford to carry passengers. but
there will probably be those who can't I'M
derstand it and will register vehement
kick and claim that they are being dis
eliminated against in favor of Dakota.
Local rates cannot be cut, for the Northern
Pacific has no competition beyond Dakota.
The Canadian Pacific is too far North to
effect it and the Union Pacific too far
South. the only danger to be feared is that
the Manitoba will creep out into that ter
ritory and gobble share of the business.

An EmDOriant letting.

a meeting of the st. Paul and Min
neapolis local passenger association has
been called for next Monday at IL o'clock
a. H. at the Union depot. This will be all
unusually important meeting. as an attempt
will be made to adopt constitution and by
laws. Heretofore the association has been
without a constitution and has had no by
laws, the only officers being president
and secretary. The object now is to get it
under a systematic management. Hereto
fore the objection OF one road has been suf-
ficient TO keep rate out of the rate sheet,
and an effort Will be made to form some
pan that will be more satisfactory on this
point than the one now in vogue. The
constitution and bylaws of the Chicago as
ISOLATION. with some changes, will probably
he adopted
