LOOKING FOR TENDERS.
Street Car Company Unable to Find
q Suitable STYLE.

a Suitable Style.
For year or more past the officials
Of the Consolidated Street Railway
comISny have been searching for a
suitable fender that can be used to
advantage on the cars of Salt Lake.
but, according 10 the statements of
superintendent Read. they have been
able to find TO patent that could be
worked here. The trouble, according to
Mr.. Read, is shat with the poles in the
middle of the street there is not room
enough for the tenders to be operated
on the cars, because they project some
distance to either side, and they would
come in contact with the poles.
Mr.. Read made a trip east a short
time ago to look at several STYLES of
lenders, but he states that he found
them all TO be impTacticable for the
cars here because of the poles. F. c.
LaWton, the division superintendent of
the company here, has a patent which
Is in use on the Colorado lines, but
superintendent Read stated last night
that it, too, was not suitable for the
cars here.
I'VE are looking for a fender that
can be used said Mr. Read, and
when such one can be found tenders
Will be put on all the cars here. I
don't know that there is any special
necessity for them, but we want to be
up to the times and win adopt them
if someone viii produce the right kind -
The adoption Of these tenders would
no doubt prevent many accidents on
tie cars, and the women OF the Ladies'
Literary club have already taken steps
to have a law passed requiring the
adoption Of tenders.

FISHED IN The CUTTER
seven-inch Trout Caught at Second

Trout fishing in the street cutters is
the latest sport that has been added
to the attractions presented by Zion. 1t
was ushered in yesterday when, with
out pole or line or rubber boots or
bait, Will Calder caught a speckled
beauty seven inches in length in the
gutter at Second South and Main
streets
Mr. Calder. who has but lately gotten
out of the hospital. where he was SUI

sustained by stepping on rolling log,
was hobbling down the sidewalk when
some very animated Tapping in the
shallow water of the gutter attracted
his attention A little inspection as to
the cause Of it showed his a fish fiOun-
dering around in the water, slowly
working its way down the shallow
stream that flowed through the gut

dip net of his hands, landed the fish
on the sidewalk. II proved to be a

Of being prosecuted for fishing before
the season and carried his catch to
the Vienna restaurant. where it is now
on exhibition and a proof that the man
who pays for city water gets his
moneys worth, and more, too.
In times gone by numerous catches
OF this kind have been made and the
public needn't be surprised If they See

HOUSE TAKES UP
IRRIGATION BILL

Continued on page l.
the friends Of the measure had sought
to create the impression that the irri-
cation Of the arid lands in the west
was continuation of the free home
policy Of the government. The scheme,
he said. would benefit certain states,
but at the expense of others. The pub
lie lanos. he cOntended.E belonged to the
people Of all the states. This bill pro-
posed TO take the proceeds of their
sale to develop one section of the coun-
try.
Public Lands Belong to All.
Mr.. Ray said he believed in carrying
out the pledge of the Republican ma
tional platform. but insisted that no
convention had ever endorsed the
scheme proposed in this bill.
Mr.. Tongue of Oregon followed in an
earnest argument ia support of the bill,
the constitutionality Of which, he de-
clared, could not be successfully ques-
toned
Mr.. Olmstead of Pennsylvania re-
Piled to remarks made by Mr.. Cushman
OF Washington some weeks ago, in
which the Washington member de-
nounced the committee on rules for al
legged misuse of its power to prevent
members from obtaining consideration
Of meritorious bills. He recited a long
list Of appropriations which the state
of Washington had received at the
present session, and asked what Mr..
Cushman, who described himself in his
speech as a Legislative Lilliputian,"
was roaring about
IT this Lilliputian legislator secured
all these appropriations he asked,
what would a legislative giant have
obtained?" <Laughter.)
Mr. Olmstead read a list of eighty
five bills Mr. Cushman had introduced,
including one appropriating $4,000 for a
commission to investigate the question
of a universal language"
Il presume" observed Mr. Olmstead,
that is the language we are to use
when the rules committee has been
abolished and every member can speak
IA behalf OF mis- own bill whenever the
spirit moves him.
Fourteen Thousand Bills.
Mr., Olmsteaa defended the machin-
cry of the house, arguing that present
legislative measures were necessary
for gthe TRANSACTION of public business.
Fourteen thousand bills had been in
trOduced at the present session. The
house would Rave to sit night and day
for ten years TO consider and pass on
all Of them. He7Went over the record
to show that more bills had been
passed and more unanimous consents
had been accorded in the last congress
than in the Forty-ninth and Fiftieth
congresses, before the present system
went into effect.
Mr.. Shallenberger of Nebraska con-
Guided the debate for the day with 2
twenty-minute speech in support of the
bill. lie said he preferred to see the
money spent in the west for the devel-
opment OF our country than in the sub
iugation of peoples beyond the seas.

The Credit System

EullOl I HE O<NDi''
 A question asked me the other day suggested writing this com munication, which l think every business man in town will admit IS pertinent and timely.
 The bane of all business is the credit system, and especially is 1t costly and source of annoyance in a town like Nogales, situated as it is in two countries, and its inhab- itants bound to each other by ties of relationship and dependent on each other for conrtesies and obliga- tions in their daily course of inter- national business. The credit sys- tenn obtains more here under these con ions than in any city l have ever and even with the utmost care conservatism is a source of constant worry and loss to the merchant. Is there l single mer- chant in N gales who has ever fig ured out cost of his credit business eeper, books, sta tionery, interests on credits and losses on bad bills? l am sure that the expense and loss account from the above sources aggregate oUer ten per cent. of the annual busl- ness in the most conservative house, and several times that in some cases. And who pays this extra expense? The cash customer must perforce. or the merchant goes under. Statistics show that in- malicious credits have caused more failures than all other causes com bined.
 We have a board of trade in Nogales. Its chief aim IS to en- courage the establishment of new industries and new business in our town. But is it not it's first duty to protect the industries and busl- ness already here-those of its own members? The boards of trade in most cities have system of credit rating and black listing of cus- toners that protects its merchant members from advancing credit to unreliable people, and the incorpor- ating of such system in our own board would save our merchants many hundred dollars annually. I know one member of the board to whom it would have saved over one hundred dollars since the first of this year.
 Under the credit system many persons run bills at the stores who have the money in the bank or at home to pay cash for what they buy, or who are perfectly good for their obligations; and in such cases perhaps the worst that can be said as to the credit system IS that 1t in- encourages over-buying: buying things which are not actually need ed at the time, and beside compels the purchaser to pay little more for the goods than he would prob ably have to pay did he show the cash.
 One of our business houses Is preparing to adopt the strictly cash system in the near future, and the experiment will doubtless be watched with much interest by merchants and customers alike. l believe that by substituting the cash for the credit system, mer- chant could reduce his prices ten to twenty percent. and make more profit the year round. This is the main secret of the cheap depart ment store" business.
