FIVE PER CENT
 ADDED MONDAY
CITY TAxEo WILL BECOME DE-
 LiNQUENT ON THAT DAY

Less Than One-Third of Total Had
 Been Collected Yesterday-Money
 to Be Used for Expenses of City
 Next Monday City Clerk Kinsey will follow out the letter of the law and in crease the taxes on city property five per cent. On that day the taxes be- come delinquent.
 Up to the past two days" said he, yesterday, the taxes have been com ing in slowly. Since then several hun dred dollars have been turned into the city treasury.
 Those who do not get in Monday will have their taxes raised. the time having then expired when the original rate discontinues. I am here at the office during the day, and all who want to avoid having their taxes raised had better call in time."
 This time the city is trying to raise total of $4,752.51. The tax rate is six mills on the dollar on a total as- sessed valuation of $792,11S35 This is the first property tax collected by the city, and for that reason the total valuation is not as large as it will he the next timethe tax collecting period rolls around. Up to date S1,444.46 has been collected
 The money obtained this year will be divided into two funds Two mills on the dollar will go for salaries of city officials and to meet incidental ex- penses. This fund will amount to something over $500. The other four mills are to be expended for inn proving the city's streets and alleys. and for building bridges and culverts. In this fund there will be something over 5000.
 The failure to settle the matter of a townsite patent that is now being worked for by the probate judge and the city of Bisbee, is causing some tc withhold the payment of their taxes until later date. Many who now own property expect to have their ti- ties contested in the courts. Had this been settled one way or another be fore their time. more taxes would have been paid before this.

SHOULD HAVE
 TRADE BOARD
E. c. ORD URGES THAT ONE BE
 ORGANIZED HERE

Reasons Why it Would Benefit City
 and the Great Good that Would
 Be Accomplished in Many Ways
 "Bisbee has reached the point where it should have board of trade" said E. G. Ord, former alder man, yesterday.
 As it is now there seems to be no one to take the lead in enterprises that would be of benefit to the city. Take for instnce the arrival in this city of the first Fl Pasc and South western train. There should have been 8 reception committee at the depot.
 Tt is something that the city could have without any expense, and would return thousands of dollars. Every other city with as prosperous a pres ent and bright future as Bisbee has found board of trade to be indispens- able.
 when it comes to acting in concert with other cities of the southwest that are planning new moves to ic crease their importance. There is hardly d city in this part oI the coun- try the sizeof Bisbee that is without a board of trade Many have them that are not as large nor as prosper Ous.
 T believe the leading merchants of the city should take this matter in hand. It might be the means of bring ing to this city a large amount of business. that will go to ther places, because we do not make an active campaign for it.
 There are many things for board of trade to do in city of this size. It should take in hand in the first place. the advertising of our mineral resources, and the opportunities to be found in this section. Capital should be told that right here is the greatest mineral district in the southwest.
 Another thing that the board could do is in connection with the legisla- ture It could take the lead in bring ing us some of the good things that are distributed in different parts of the territory.
 One of the greatest things it would do is the uniting of the different in- terests in this city, and in getting them together cause great deal more to be accomplished"

RUN OWES BY A WAGON.
Little Son of Mr.. Henry EcKagen Sc
riously Injured.

The two-year-old son of Mr.. Henry
McKagen was run over on Dugan
street Saturday by two-horse wagon,
driven by james Ludd, colored, and
painfully injured.
Two of Mr.. McKagen's children
were playing in the middle OF the
street and when the wagon approached
at trot they made no effort to get
ont of the way until the team was
almost upon them. They started to
run out of the way, but the little boy
tr;pped and fell with his head in the
rut. The next instant the wagon
wheels struck him. Mr.. D. j. Chan
dler who was passing on bicycle
picked the child up and carried him
into the house to his mother. Blood
was gushing from his mouth and he
was apparently in a dying condition.
Mr.. Chandler then pursued the Wagon,
and catching up with it IN O'Donneii
& Co.'S. lot had Ludd arrested.
.Ludd says that he did not see the
children in the street and did not
konw that he had run over the little
bcy until he was arrested and told
what he had done. Mr.. Chandler says
that Lndd acted as if he did not know
that he had run over the child, for ne
drove right on and although he called
to him to stop he did not do SO nor did
he drive any faster. The accident
seems to have been the result of the
carelessness of Ludd, who was not
looking ahead to see where be was
driving, as he should have done, and
to the fact that the children were
playing in the street where they should
not have been. 49,,
An hour after the accident the little
boy had regained consciousness and
examination showed that he was not
fatally injured. There is severe cut
and hruise back of one ear where the
wheel struck him, but he is otherwise
uniniared. The wheels did not pass
over his head, but most have knocked
him aside when the front wheel struck
his head. for otherwise the skull
would have been crushed and the
child instantly killed.
