Tucson a Revelation
to Eastern Visitors.

~ have now been In Tucson one
week" remarked sujourner at the San
Augustine, last evening, "and believe it
is the most orderly city of it's size have
ever visited; haven't seen a drunken
man yet, and | have been constant v
on the lookout for specimen OF the
long haired COW boy, loaded down with
steel, iingling spurs and other accoutre-
ment that contributes to make o per-
feet picture OF the the wild man OF the
West. II you have any policemen here
i have not been able to reeogize them,
and judging from the quiet that pre-.
walls ! presume an officer Is seldom
needed"
Similar remarks are often made by
visitors who expect to find in Tucson q
veritable frontier town run entirely by
''bad'' man. 1t is a pleasant disap-
pointment TO fad here one Of the best
conducted towns on the Pacific coast
where people sleep in the open leave
their doors open and are never distur-
bed by burglars, or assassins. A modern
city on the desert, devoid Of crime, Ia
quiet revelation to our eastern friends.

Enterprise.

Mr.. E. r Beck at one time very
prominent in newspaper circles in
and around New York and other
large eastern cities arrived here
this morning and is guest at the
Fremont hotel About six years
ago Mr.. Beck on account of fail
ing health discontinued the pro-
fession that made him such con-
spicuous figure in public eye
and identified himself with the
Western Anchor Fence company
of Denver, one of the largest con-
Germs of its kind in the country.
A reporter of The TRIBUNE who
had heard of Mr.. Beck in a news
paper way had quite lengthy in
terview with him. How do / like
this business? We'll, | often
think | would like to be back
among my old associates but l
must confess | have become quite
attached to the selling of fence
and | question very much if |
would care to take up newspaper
work again as business. Had
my health not failed me the pro-
liabilities are | would still be SHOW
ing pencil for a livelihood, brt
as it is | am in the fence business
and | intend to remain. Yes | am
doing very nice business. You
see we construct fence made of
solid steel put up around your
residence at about 100 per cent
cheaper than you could build a
picket fence.
The experiences | have are re-
ally amusing in the extreme. For
instance, / called upon very
prominent real estate man at Pu-
eblo, and his first utteranoe was:
1 could not do business with you,
because your kind of fence would
come too high Well, / was not
long in convincing him to the con-
trary, and the result was | took
his order for twelve fences, to be
built in front of that many houses
which he has under construction
at the present time, We have
very neat fence as well as money
saver for anyone building stock
fence, in this clamp and stay. The
Burlington railroad has adopted
our clamp and stay along its lines
and pronounce it one of the best
and most durable devices that had
ever been brought beneath their
notice.
Yes, all the trading men meet
on the road are doing a rushing
business. There is no denying the |
fact that trade in general is in a
very prosperous state and has been
for some time, and from the pres
ent outlook it will continue to be
good. / regret to hear of your |
threatened strike here. as it will
have tendency to affect every |
business in the community. For
the good of the employe as well as
the employer | do hope matters
will be settled amicably and to the
of all concerned.
Il represented an eastern news
paper at the A. R. U. strike at
Chicago, and / tell you they are
affairs and every effort
should be made to avoid them.n
