 OF BENSON

Benson, Ariz.. Nov. 25.-(Special Cor respondence of The Republican)-- Fire! fire! The building occupied and owned by the editor of the Benson Breeze was burned this morning with q total loss of his entire plant. together with S793 in money, also another buil1- ing owned by our genial agent. F. s. Webster which was occupied by q Chinese laundry. These two buildings were burned to the ground. The next building, also owned by r. S. Webster, used by Judge Charles G. Saunders as an office and court room, was badly damaged. as was Judge Saunders res idence, which was next door to this building. These houses were saved by the heroic work of our bucket brigade. We know how to sympathize with these gentlemen in their loss, as we passed through a similar experience d little over one year ago. No insurance. There is a good show for Benson to have Q sInelter in the near future
 Cattle shipping is being done here on a large scale. A trainload was shipped from here to California today and an other yesterday.
 We are reliably informed that the Southern Pacific people have made a large payment on coal mines in Sonora Mexico. These mines are said to be very extensive. This will mean much for Benson, as this will be the dis tributing point for the coal

The big State chicken show which has been in progress in Little Rock for several days, closed last night.
 The show was a great success from every point of view. It created a general interest in fancy poultry all over the State, and the association is already laying plans for another big show next season. The associa- tion now owns it's own coops and is in much better financial standing than ever before.
 The executive committee, consist ing of w. H. Westbrook and H. B. Mizen, of this city, Geo, ".

RESIDENCE BURNED.
The Home of MT. W. H. Grace De.
 stroyed by Fire.

About 4 o'clock this morning the two-story frame residence owned and occupied by W. H. Grace at No. 605 East Second avenue, caught fire from defective fue and soon burn ed to tEe ground. The fire depart- ment responded promptly but owing to the uncomfortable headway which the flames had gained, all efforts to save the structure were in vain. The lire boys did good work in saving adjoining property, which would have certainly burned, as the heavy winds which prevailed dashed the high flames against all property in their reach.
 The building was insured in the Tankerly, Roberts & Co.'S agency for $1, ,O00, but we failed to learn the amount of the insurance on the household goods.

As a Graphic reporter entered the

 Kissing the convict question.
 Several days ago County Judge
 Jones awarded the contract to Capt.
 E R. Adams, who, as the contract
 sEates, will work the county conYicts
 for tbe next two years. Prosecut. 'Ing Attorney Sorreils said that when an offender is fined and pays his Sflne tae coa4c5 e5atr4e tor should Tecelge the money and not the Sher. if of the county. County Judge Zones informed Mr. Sor , Ills that the contract stated the above and It was not nec- essary tc make a supplemental con- 2raet as suggested by Mr. Sorrells. Ar Sorrells then said it was not in Ere contract and finally the contract #as produced and sead. The words ! the contract intimated that the sontraetor should receive the fine, but not quite as plain as Mr. SorrelIs ad put 1t and the efficient Prose sating Attorney informed the Hon. 5rabla County Judge that the only Fay he could alter the matter was 10 make supplemental contract, 10 which the County Judge objected, md the reporter thinking there would be a racket" of some kind, luietly made Q sneak, leaving the we'll yersed officials still arguing he ease.

hlPh rates charged on cotton shiT- ped from here. There is no refund on the forty thousand bales hauled in here by wagons and on roads from nearby points.
 The freight rates from Swan Lake to Memphis on cotton are one dollar and fifty cents per bale. Swan Lake to Pine Bluff, sixty cents per bale-a difference oi ninety cents. The rates from Memphis to Liver poolAor the EasC, is fully two dollars less per bale than from Pine Bluff.
 A few years ago Pine Bluff was selling groceries to Shreveport. I am told that Shreveport is now sell ine groceries in our territory.
 This is but one of many instances that l might cite to show how Pine Bluff, to use homeIy phrase, lis getting the worst of it. There are other important matters which should be brought to the ton of our people and which I should like to discuss, but what is the use, MT. Editor, of pointing out an evl or even suggesting remedy unless one has the ability to supply, as well as to suggest, the remedy. You nor l nor no other single individual can do it. Such task requires the con eerted action of all.
 In order to get such concert of ac- tion we must have Board of Trade thoroughly orgarized and intelli- gently conducted. If you will lend your valuable assistance fn bring ing our business men to q speedy realization of this crying necessity you will have conferred lasting benefit upon the people from whom you draw your support.

ALMOST DISASTROUS
A Fire Broke Out in Ragland's Cot
 ton Ware House Last Night

Just at midnight Tuesday an alarm Of fire was turned in from Ragland's large cotton warehouse situated on West Barraque street. The fire department responded none too quickly, for if they had been a few moments later in arriving on the scene a disastrous fire would have been the result.
 They found two bales of cotton blazing and the flames heading for other bales near by. The hremen rolled the burning bales into the street where the fire was soon ex- tinguished.
 The bales were on the exterior platform of the warehouse, upon which were also stationed D or 100 bales of the feecy staple, which, fl lgnited would bave caused a very disastrous eonf1agration, The cot ton burned was fully insured.
 The cause of the fire IS unknown but it is believed to have been of in- eendiary origin.

 In your paper of the 18th ap- pears an article from me in which I have used the word "rebate. In an editorial you asked me 10 ex- plain. must admit that if was an inexcusable and stupid blunder on my part. If there are any rebates going it is kept very quiet ard not to be made public property.
 l should have used the word Ire fund" You will readily see there is a wide difference in the meaning. Rebate is a harsh word and, as have found out recently. is grating to sensitive nerves. If you will accept this apology I will tell yoa what refund" is.
 Suppose, for example, you have two customers, Smith and Jones, shipping you cotton for sale. Smith sends you one hundred bales on which the railroad collects one dollar and fifty cents per bale. Jones sends you one hundred bales on which the railroad collects one dol lar per bale; Jones not living as far off as Smith.
 Now. if you will take bill of lad ing from any cotton buyer for 200 bales of cotton shipped put over the same road to the agent, showing him that the cotton received from Smith and Jones was shipped out over his road, he will refund you one dollar and ten cents on Smiths cotton and sixty cents on Jones' cotton. In other words they will refund" you all over forty cents per halo o7 all bills of lading you can show for cotton received and shipped oyer the same road.

Monday that arrived here Friday.
Mr.. DeMoss is the only one who
stopped here. He left yesterday
for MannsviIle where he will visit
friends before his return home to
Hubbard City, Texas. In COM
menting he remarked that being
camped for seven and a half
months without any active service
to relieve the mpnotony, had be-
come tiresome in the extreme, and
the boys were glad to get back
home, although the health at Camp
Church, where the company was
stationed, had been unusually
good, only five deaths among the
1.3OO soldiers. The companies
composing this regiment were from
Indian Territory, Oklahoma, New
Mexico and Arizona, and were well
adapted to camp life before enter
