a New liue of Business.

Mr.. III. j. Hlpwell. who has been
with the Southwestern Commercial
Company ever since they entered
the local business field, has re-
signed his position with that con-
Germ and left this morning for his
home at San Diego, California,
where he will arrange his business
affairs in such a manner as to per-
nit him to return to Nogales and
make this town his permanent
home. The gentleman will be
gone about two weeks and Mrs.
Hipweil will probably accompany
him when he comes back to No
gales.
Mr.. Hipwell will, upon his re.
turn, organize a stock company
and go into the cold-storage bust
ness, handling all sorts of produce
and provisions. The company will
be incorporated under the name OF
the Kansas Produce Company with
a capital stock of $4,000, most OF
which has already been subscribed.
Mr.. Hipwell will be the general
manager of the new company and
will devote all of his time to the
enterprise. He is an old-timer
at the produce business and well
qualified to hold the responsible
position to which he will be APP
pointed.
The other principal stockholders
in the company will be A. w.
Geoghegan, w E. Topham and R.
5, Sturmer, and a large commits
sion house at Newton, Kansas will
also own a large block OF stock. 1t
is the intention of the new com
pany to bny butter, eggs. cheese,
meats, lards and other lines OF
produce from Kansas in carload
lots, to be shipped to this point by
fast freight and Immediately upon
their arrival here, the goods will
be put iii cold storage which will
insure their being kept in prime
condition for an indefinite period.
BY purchasing their goods direct
in large quantities and taking adj
vantage OF all discounts and re-
bates, the new firm viii be able to
sell anything in their line mt much
cheaper prices than they have ever
been sold for in this section, The
company has already purchased
one cold-storage building and will
erect another much larger one in
the course OF few months. They
have an arrangement for refrigerat-
ing their warehouses for the pre-
sent, but it IS their intention to
later install an ice plant OF their
own.
The new firm expects to do the
bulk OF their business with mer-
chants in the state Of Sonora,
which offers an excellent field for
the project. as it will enable dealers
to purchase all lines OF produce in
any desired quantities and will in
sure them OF always receiving prime,
fresh goods at rock-bottom prices.
That the new enterprise will meet
with a grand success is undoubted
and it is Il source OF wonder to
many that such line of business
has not been inaugurated here be-
fore this time.

ing companies now operating in

anxious to have freight road from
Nogales to the Tres Amigos mine,
and that he had authority from
his company to offer two thousand
dollars towards the building of
road from the Montana mine to

also from Mr.. Squires, superinten-
dent OF the Gold Zone Mining and
Milling Company, to offer like
sum OF two thousand dollars, on

solutions:
Resolved: That inasmuch as the
companies now operating in the
Orc Blanco mining district have
rendered the sum of four thousand
dollars towards the building of a
freight wagon road from Nogales

sense OF this meeting that when
said proposition is properly pre-
scented, that the Board of Super
visors be requested to appropriate
the sum of two thousand dollars,
and that the citizens of Nogales
raise the further sum OF two thou
sand dollars by subscription, there
by insuring the construction of
frst-class freight road between the
Two points.
Resolved further: That copy OF
these resolutions be presented to
the Board OF Supervisors with re-
quest for prompt action, and that
the local papers be requested 10

MY FARM.

ff ever / get rolling rich from working in
the town
I'm going to take my leisure in a way to
gain renown.
No painted yacht, no palace grand my
wandering hours will charm;
I'll simply pull up city stakes and move
upon a farm.
So long I've toiled within the gates where
chimneys puff and blare.
I'd Civ my fortune for a breath of real
country air.
A humble cot in pretty vale, a place to sleep
and eat; H.
All! life will be most blissful in my coming
country seat.
Iwant no factories around, no whistles loud
to hear,
Although 1 must insist upon a railway run
ming near,
To take me to the city any hour. night or
day,
Consuming only ten or fifteen minutes on
the way.
Ill rise each morning prompt at eight, be
weather rain or shine,
And sally forth most farmer-like to feed
the Glowing kline.
I'll go to see my growing crops, my mead
ows waving far,
Surveying my belongings from my private
lrOlley car.
MY days I'll give to reading what the papers
have to say
About the soils rotation and the garden
things that pay.
The little birds will sing to me, the gentle
flowers will bloom,
And I'll ave a grand piano in the family
sitting room.
Oh! who would not a farmer be, and spend
his passing years
In following the calling Of the sturdy
pioneers!
Away with idle pamperings and luxuries
that harm!
If ever l get rich enough I'm going to buy
a farm.
