! Chicago. Mr.. Cooper yester Day made
statement similar 10 that made By a
number of racing men who have Wis
| tied Phoenix. The prices of hos ses are
| advancing. He thinks that with a eli
mate SO adapted to the breeding of
horses, the Salt River valley should
supply many horses for the Chicago
market. He advises the hOrsemen to
| breed coach horses exclusively.
GOING IN FOR CLIMATE. Mr.. H
| H. Campbell of Boston, Mass. who
| has been occupying the residence of
Captain Baldwin during the winter.
| has decided that since he is here after
climate he will get all of it he can by
| living out of doors. He has accord
ingly established a camp six miles
northeast of the city where there are
not so, many people among whom the
climate is to be divided. H has got
| huge tent. little smaller than the tent
used to cover Barnum's biggest show
on earth.
A RETURNED STUDENT. Willis
| Warren, ons of the students of the
! territorial university fight. re-
turned to Phoenix yesterday. Mr.
Warren already feels a degree of
repentance and is sorry that he did
edge to a point where pillows would
suggest only a contentious reminis-
cence. His name, however, is not il
the list of eXpulsions but he does not
ears to return to school until Professor
Hall makes a public apology. He feels
that by the two hours extra drill the
pupils have atoned for their misbe-
haviOT in not needing the professors
command of cease firing pillows, and
in ha CHI
for issuing the command. His views
are indicative of the opinions held by
most of the boys who have departed.
Mr.. Warrsn said that he did not be-
lieve any of them would return.
SCHOOL FOR FIVE POINTS. A
meeting of educators and residents in
terested in school work about Five
Points met at the Five Points phar-
macy last night and discussed the
project of building a new school house
in that district. B. A .Fickas presided
over the meeting. He said on behalf
of the grammar school board that
there was no money in the grammar
school fund which could be used for
the purpose and suggested that meas /
ures Of some kind be adopted for rails !
ing the money. Several of the resi-
dents present thought it would be add !
visable to vote bonds if possible No I
action was taken, however and it is |
probable that another meeting will he /
called soon to determine a plan of &C
ton. A committee consisting Of a.
L. Fisher, c. w. Mckee and James (
McCarty was appointed for the pur-
pose of finding a suitable location for
the school. Several locations were
suggested. The committee will confer
with the grammar board at the office

OF INTEREST TO WOOL GROW
ERS.-G. H Mcdonald of Chicago ar
rived yesterday and he tells some
thing of interest to sheepmen. He
made a trip to New York after leaving
Chicago and from there hs has come
directly to Phoenix. NJ Mcdonald
said he did not think there was any
cause for fear among the wool dealers
or growers on account of the recently
formed combination. The purchasing
viii be on the same lines as it has
been. The combination viii MS send
purchasers direct to the wool growers,
but it will probably deal with commits
sion houses, as some of the large
wOrsted mills have done. New mills ,
are constantly entering the large wool
pool which, it is thought will not BE-
the means Of a decrease in the price
of the product. The trust will employ
competent men, but as yet it has net
decided upon tha officers. They will
be elected at the neNt meet
ing OF the incOrpOratOrs. The cCmbi-
nation has no fears on account Of the
BroWn-Adams firm, which, it asserts,
VII not conduct rival business
Brown & Adams are represented here
by Mr.. A. VanderwOrt

A. Drake, chief engineer of the S. F. ;
P. & P, twas in Phoenix Wednesday, Z
and verified some Information concern d
ing the cutoff on the northern part of
the road. He said that surveyors have
been working there fer a week, but he
has had no authority yet to commence /
building. At the first meeting of the
board of directors, which WI be held |
soon, he said authority will be granted
without a doubt. and when it is re-
ceived the work of construction will
begin Immediately. This cutoff will
be built from Ash Fork south via {
Rocky Butte, rejOining the main line
1t mile post 29. This course will make
The length of the cutoff about twenty :
two miles, a saving of about three
miles. But the principal advantage I
will be the avoiding of high grades.
Instead of the three per cent grades,
there will be no grade which will eX
ceed one and a half p5r cent. The old
track will be taken up after the new
'oad is completed. Several places have
been thought of where the rails may
be used. Among them is a proposed
line between Hot Springs and Hot
Springs Junction Engineer Drake
said it depended upon whether the
