But y Shopping Days

remain between now and
Christmas eve, and into
these few short days must
be crowded our selling of
thousands of holiday presents
running in price from a cent
up to most any amount. AS
this number of days become
shorter, as Christmas comes
nearer, more and more peo-
pie who have put it off until
then, select their presents,
and the last days are so
crowded that agreeable shop
ping is almost impossible.
We therefore urge the early
buying of Christmas things
its none too early to do it
now. Our stocks are mag
niflcently prepared-more
time can be used in the Sc
lectlon-our present sales
people are necessarily bet
ter informed than those that
come in later-there is less
oroWding, less possibility of
mistakes, less fatigue now
than later, and our prices are
always and under all circum-
stances absolutely the low
est.

A JURORS DUTY.

The arrest of two jurymen by the United States authorities at Tomb stone last week, on some specific charge, but primarily because they failed to agree with the remainder of the jurors upon a verdict, furnishes food for reflection upon the sworn du. ty of juror.
 The particular case on trial was United States vs. Burt Afford, chargeJ with obstructing the United States mail. The result of the trial was a hung jury and immediately after the trial two jurors were placed under ar rest, taken before United States Com missioner Emanuel who promptly dismissed the defendants.
 Unless the United States au.hori ties had sufficient evidence to convict which, apparently from the evidence. they did not. the arrest was small bus mess and will fall far short of having the desired result
 One of the jurors arrested was Mir J. H. James, a long time resident of this community, and during the re cent city campaign, was honored by the nomination for alderman of the second ward. Without entering in to the merits of the case, it places the United States authorities in the posi-. sion of attempting to force a convic. ton and to compel jurors to bring in a yssuict iu accordance with their wishes. If United States authori, ties have the power to arrest jurors for failing to bring in a verdict of guilty, it is high time that the admin. istration of justice was turned over td the prosecuting attorney and the courts and the jury system abolished
 The Review is well aware that the action of Cochise county iuries in the past, has been enough to exasperate a saint and no doubt after failure to convict on two charges, ia the case above mentioned, the prosecut jag attorney was put out 10 express his feelings mildly. But tn main fact remains that any Ametican citi zen is entitled to fair and impartia trial by jury and there must be no in terference with this time honored GUS tom and law. Any such attempted interference will only react in the op posite direction.

If our entire foreign commerce were carried in vessels built in the United States the total value of American shipping and shipbuilding would be about double what they are today. That is to say, instead Of having $S0.000,0O0 invested in our shipbuild. ing plants, employing 5O,OOO men, and producing vessels and repairs theretJ valued at about s75,0O0, 900. there there would be s16O,OOO, 900 so in. vested. employing 100000 men, and dheir products would be worth s15O.. 0O0.0oO annually. And instead of the value of American vessels being s35O.. 900 900, earning S2e6, ,942,O42 and em- pioying 1885 men, their value would be nearer to s7O0,OO0,OOO their earn ings would be nearer to s50O, 900 900, and the number of men they employ would be nearer to 367,

TROLLEY SLIPPERS.

The latest innovation on eastern electric railway lines is the trolley sleepers and their introduction is causing many of the railroad mag mates to lay awake at night The trolley sleepers are now in use on the electric link connecting Indianapolis with Columbus. Ohio. a distance of abott two hundred miles, and it Is stat ed that before the end of the present year trolley sleepers" will be avail able on many eastern lines.
 The Los Angeles Herald in com- menting on the innovation pertinently remarks:
 The new feature of electric transit service win have in it's support the powerful advantage of relative cheap ness. The sleeping car service on steam railways, as all travellers have cause to know, is out of all reasonab.c C proportion to general cost of transpor- taiion. The electric companies can afford to reduce that cost fully one half and yet give equally good service There will be the peculiar advantage, also. of freedom from cinders, smoke | and other nuisances peculiar to the use of locomotives.
 While the long distance electric lines will not be able, at present. to compete with the steam railways in point of time, they will be able to ap- proach near enough to satisfy the av- craze traveller. The slower time, however, will be more than offset by the reduced rates and the greater com fort arising from the use of electric instead of steam power.

RAILROAD EQUIPMENT.

The statistics given out by a recent government report relating to rail roads are almost staggering. In the matters of equipment we find some figures that will open the eyes of the reading public.
 On June 30. 1902, there were APPS locomotives in the service of the rail- ways, which was 1,644 more than were in use in 1901. Of the total number of locomotives, 10,31S are classed as passenger, locomotives, 2S- 594 as freight locomotives, cess as switching locomotives. the remainder 63S. not being classified.
 The total number of cars of all classes in the service of the railways on the same date was 1,640,22O. there having been an increase of s9,3S7 in rolling stock of this class. Of the total number of cars 36,991 are as signed to the passenger service, 1.5lG,- 132 to the freight service, and 57,097 to the direct service of the railways. The foregoing figures do not include cars owned by private companies and firms that are used by railways, as no returns for them are made to the commission.
 The report contains the usual sum. maries to indicate the density of equip ment and the extent of its use They show that the railways of the United States used on an average 206 locomo- tives and s.195 cars per 1000 miles of line, that 62,9S5 passengers were carried, and 1,9OS,310 passenger miles accomplished per passenger locomo- tive, and that 5O,S74 tons of freight were carried, and 6,666,49 ton miles accomplished per freight locomotive. | Embracing in the term equipment" both locomotives and cars, it is noted that the total equipment of railways at the end of the year was 1.6S1.4 AS. On this number, 1906. .S49 were fitted with train brakes, the increase in this item beingl42. .SO1, and 1.64S,535 were  fitted with automatic couplers, the increase being 9S,695. Nearly all To. comotives and cars in the passenger service were fitted with train brakes. and of 10,3is locomotives assigned to that service 9,462 were fitted with au- | tomatic couplers. Practically all passenger cars were fitted with auto matic couplers. Regarding freight equipment, it is observed that nearly all freight locomotives were equipped with train brakes and 94 per cent of them with automatic couplers. Of 1,546,13 cars in the freight service, 1,204, 929 were fitted with train brakes and 1,520.997 with automatic couplers A new feature of the report are summaries showing tractive power and other data for locomotives classi' fled as single-expansion, four-cylindeT compound, and two-cylinder compound or cross-compound locomotives. and others showing the classification oi cars in the freight service on the ba sis of capacity.

The 17th Of June is marked with red letters on the calendar of American patriotism as Bunker Hill day. The same day also witnessed last year. President Roosevelt's approval of the national irrigation act and the enthu- siastic friends of the irrigation poll cy take considerable satisfaction in the fact that both events may be eel. ebrated on the same day and are in. ciined to claim that future generations will find almost as much glory and pride in the statesmen like deed of 1902 as they will in the military deed of 1775. The stubborn and unequal contest at Bunker Hill was one of the things which gave us a country to work for, and the long-sought victory of national irrigation was certainly ore of the most important steps in that country's development.

Singfsher merchan complain OF
extortionate railroad weights. They
pay freight on more goods than they
receive. Said one merchant lately:
For instance an average pail Of
candy on every railroad in the coun-
try goes at thirty pounds. When Ii
reaches Kinghsher 81 is weighed out
to the merchant at thirty-hve pounds
and he has to pay freight ON that
amount All railroads bill corn at
forty pounds per case When it ar
rives at Kinghsher it is weighed to
the receiver at fifty pounds. a bag
of cabbage shipped to Dover and bill
ed at 100 pounds win so through and
freight paid on that amount while if
the same bags come to Kingfsher the
weigher here places the weight at 40
pounds and the receiver is compelled
to pay freight on that amount"
