The Psopls,e Relt Rallway

Sometime during the next session Of the
City Council the grant Of the right Of way
to the Peoples Belt Railway will be con
sidered.
The gentlemen interested In this com
pany are citizens Of Shreveport wac are
earnestly concerned In the future develop
msnt and prosperity Of this CITY.
All they want il fair treatment; NO
greater or better favors than have been
accorded others. 1t 10 true that 10 the
charter Of tnelr organization 1t IL specif ed
that this corporation shall enJ,y success
siona fIr the fuu term Of ninety mine
years, but those gentlsm en- could not and
do not expect to be granted the right Of
way tor ninety nine years, bu: they do
expect 70 receive grant equal to that oil
the Shreveport Belt Line, which has Jet .
term Of forty years to run.
1t has long slnce been evident that com
petition 10 desirable In the Belt Raiw Az
Line business, and while it is true that the
route or the courle Of tne Peoples Bel,
will not parallel the shreveport Belt or
run near maLy Of the streets on which
1t IL Ia operation, the existence Of the
Peoples Belt, in active service must have
H. fuence In promoting . better service
than 10 given the public by the Shreveport
Belt.
The people are interested In sreatsr ano
| better service, especially the citizens who
/ reside In the suburbs, now beyond Ii
reach OF the Shreveport Belt; and bssidel
af7ording additional facilities TO the public
the suburban property will increase H.
vaius and will therefore enhance the. va
uation for assessment and taxation.
The construction OF the Peoples Bel
Railway 10 being. considered tavorAbly BY
the public, In particular that class who
reside some distance from the busfne o.
center, and OF these thele are many
| thousands.
The Peoples Belt Railway should b
encouraged.

THE VALUE OF LIFE
Very Low Estimate Placed Upon It by
 Some People.

The following are few incidents of a sensational and criminal nature gath cred from ths papers of the s2uthwesis during the .ast cay or two;
 A man named Kowalski. a compara- tive stranger. killed hims If in Tue son Sunday night after ,osins ali the money he had at the gaming table and a s1,GO9 more that he telephoncd to Fl Paso for He swallowed carbolic acid.
 F. W. Greenleaf. who conducted a policy game in the Legal Tender sa- Icon at Tucson, after a protracted sprse. attempted suicide Monday af- ternoon by cutting his throat. Friends found a few minutes afterward and his physicians announce that he has good prospects fer recovery, as his jugu,ar win was not cut.
 ThelTna, ;t well known woman Of Je- rome. attempted to enc her life Mon- day night by taking a dose of corrosive subiiuate. Associates saw her take the stuff, bJl- were not quick enough to prevent it. Ir. Coi-m was hastily called and relieved her much against the vii of the would-be susicide, who fought against taking medicine. She has recovered from the effect of the pceson.
 Felix Ortega, Mexican. was ham, mesed to death with a club and his body dragged around afterward, by his friend, Benito Anaya, with whom he had been on big drunk in E,i Pas1 on Saturday night.
 Rafael Barceia. who lives near Fl Faso. kidnapped his sweetheart last Sunday afternoon at Concordia. Her little brother. who was with her at the time, gave the alarm.

FAME.-Nogales can now be called a firstclass city. She has had a dia- n1ond robbery in one of her hotels.
 NO DANCE.-The dance announced for tonight at Phoenix lark was de- clared off on account of the mixing of the dat Es- It was to have taken place last night.
 CHANGE OF FRONT.-The front of the building occupied by the Yellow stone having been condemned, a force of men is at work tearing it out and it vii be replaced with front more modern and up-to-date than the time honored adobe.
 OVERHAULINGT THE DREDGER@ The force of men taken up to the head of the Arizona canal by Superintendent McDerTnott is busily engaged over hauling the machinery of the big Gredser and it is thought it will be ready for work some time this week.
 RAILROAD TO GRAND CANYON The railroad from Williams to the Grand Canyon is now completed ana trains are running regularly, leaving Williams at | a. m. and arriving a the rim at 10 o'clock a. m. The con1ec- tions are such as to give the tourist the least possible loss of time at Will jams.
 THE SAN DIEGO EASTERN San Diego Sun says work has bsgun on the survey of the San riego- Eastern railroad. which is to run from that city to Yuma. Railroad talk seems from -rhe San Diego press to be the principal topic of conversation in that city. and an official of that county who recently travelled over the greater part of il an rounces that everybody is booming the Yuma road.
 INVITED TO OHIO.-Chairman ]. C. Adams of tfls republican territorial central committee has received an UT gent invitation from Chairman Dick Of the Ohio republican central com raittee. asking him to come to that state and address political meetings during the campaign. MT. Adams is a, plain and forceful speaker and has had extensive experience in political campaigning.
 TROUBLESOME PROSPERITY. - The Tomtstone Prospector is already Srcwing uneasy abouiA the burdens laid upon it by returning prosperity. and says that so many letters are re- ceived daily regarding the prospects of the town for the future that they can not be answered. and that inquirers mus. depend upon the Prospsctor for a reply to qu zstions. It might be good place for someone to establish a correspondence bureau.
 BIG BUG STORE ROBBED.-The store, at Big Bug, kept by Frank Leck- ,ider, formerly of this city, and J. r.. Sias. was robbed few days ago by an unknown party and almost in the
