HENRY E. KEMP COMPANY.

Among the worthy business con- cerns of Phoenix it is but just to say that the Henry E. Kemp company oc- cupies a conspicuous and honorable place, for this house has always been industrious and enterprising, and as a result has met with merited success. Henry E. Kemp started the business in 1885, but it was not until 1895 that it was incorporated under it's present name. It deals very extensively in agricultural implements, wagons, bug gies, and carries large stock of hard ware, stoves, etc. This company also handles an assortment of high grade bicycles, all giving universal satis- faction to those who have been for tunate enough to purchase from them. They are very nice people to deal with. Aside from being able to show the finest and best goods they are ex- tremely courteous and obliging and place their goods at the lowest pos sible prices. MT. Kemp is the presi- dent of the Henry B. Kemp company. THE NATIONAL BANK OF ARI-
 IONA.
 The above financial institution has met with remarkable success since it's inception. It is located very cen-

FRANCE AND RECIPROCITY.
Little Hope That Concessions Will
be Made as to Cattle,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The French
Embassy has been notified that the new
French ambassador, NJ. Cambon, sailed
on La Gascogne from Havre Saturday,
and will arrive IN New York the latter
part Of this week. He will remain in
New York few days, and will come to
Washington the middle Of next week
The presentation of his credentials to
the President will be made the follow
ing week.
The French Consul M. Brae-
wer, has been here for several days in
conference with Reciprocity Commits
sioner Kasson, furthering deals in the
reciprocity arrangement between
France and this country The essen
tial points, however, cannot be ar
ranged until the ambassador arrives,
as he comes direct from Paris, where
it is supposed the authorities have CIV
en- him definite instructions as to how
far the demands of the United States
for a modification of the restrictions on
American cattle and meat products
will be sanctioned.
NJ. Cambon does not speak English,
and this, to some extent, will limit the
freedom of his intercourse with State
Department officials.
Although the Department is not ad-
vised, there is little hope that France
viii concede what is asked as to Amer
lean cattle, in view of the recent ac-
tion of the Chamber of Deputies in
passing a Government measure TO ad-
vance the duties on meat products. 1t
is suspected that this advance was
made in order to permit a reduction to
the old rates, but there will be little
disposition to accept this as u suffi-
cient concession to allow France the
benefit of reciprocity reductions on
French brandies, vermouth, paintings
and statuary, as contemplated by the
Dingley law.
