DISCUSSED BIDS SUBMITTED TO
COUNCIL YESTERDAY FOR
STREET PAVING.
Bids Checked Over Today and Street
Committee Will Report at To.
nights Council Meeting.

A number of the property owners IN
three of the proposed paving improve
ment districts held meeting last night
at the office of Herbert H. Jones. and
decided to petition the council to pave
the streets abutting their property
with Warren's bitulithic. This action
was taken notwithstanding the fact
that the bids submitted to the city
council yesterday afternoon showed
that the cost of the bitulithic was
greater than that for asphalt as filed
by the Barber Asphalt company.
DR.. j. F. Crop was chosen chairman
of the meeting and Herbert H. Jones
secretary. The subject of the pave
ment was discussed at length by the
property owners in district No. 5, East
East Alder from East street to Park;
No. 8, East Alder from Park to Clinton.
After Secretary Jones had submitted
the figures showing the cost of the
bitulithic and the asphalt, which had
been tabulated by the Warren COM
pany's representative, a petition was
drawn up and addressed to the coun
Gil praying that the bitulithic be adopt
ed as the pavement for the three dis
tricts represented at the meeting.
The petition was signed by a majority
of the property owners present and to-
day the petitions were being circulated
among those who did not attend the
meeting.
This morning the property owners
on First street from Alder to the alley
between Alder and Poplar; Second
street, from Main to the Mill creek
bridge and Second from Alder street
to the alley between Alder and Poplar,
signed petitions favoring the bitulithic.
Committee Held Meeting.
This afternoon the street committee
and the city engineer held a meeting
! at the city nall and checked over the
different bids and the report to the
! council was prepared, which will be
submitted at tonights session. Quite
number of the property owners were
present The estimate of the total cost
| of the paving in all the districts as fig
ured up by the committee was as fol-
! lows:

A MISSION OF VENGEANCE
In Which Jesus Eredias Found He
 Had Been Anticipated.


 Jesus Eredias came to Phoenix yes terday morning on an unnecessary mis- sion of vengeance. He wanted. in the first place, to know what had been done. if anything, with the murderer of his brother, Pedro Eredias, who was killed in the Harqua HaIlas about a year ago. Eredias had just heard of it. He is a hunter of lions and other big game. and for a year had been operat- ing in the southern part of the terri tory and Mexico. He had been sm- ployed on various large cattle ranches to Keep the lions thinned out He had heard nothing of his brother. but he did not wonder at that, for much of the time he was where letters would hardly reach him; besides, he and his brother were not frequent correspond ents.
 The brother was in the Harqua Halas when he went away. and Jesus Eredias set out to pay him a visit When he reached Billy Moore's ranch, on the Agua Fria, woman there told him that his brother was dead; had been murdered. She related all the circumstances of the murder but she
 
 ever been arrested. Accordingly he came to Phoenix and inquired of the police. who referred him to the sher- frs office. Deputy Sheriff King began an inquiry. and soon found that Deputy Sheriff Balsz knew all about it. The murder occurred in Yuma county, and the murderer was soon after arrested convicted and sentenced to fifteen years in the territorial prison, where he now is.
 The killing took place over a woman The brother of Eredias was killed with a rock and his body was thrown into a deserted shaft, where it was soon after found, with the skull crushed. The murderer and the woman left the camp and were quickly followed. The wom- an told the story of the killing. Her named could not be recalled yesterday but she is said to be living at a mining camp near Wickenburg.

WEATHER AND CROPS
For the Week Endino June s, 1905.

For the Week Ending June 5, 1905.
 This was the first rainless week ex- perienced in Arizona since December, last. Cloudy and threatening weather prevailed in the northern and central i sections during Thursday, Friday and Saturday. In the southern counties the skies were clear to cloudless. Temperatures ranged near the normal values in the southern and central sec tions; deficiency of 2 degrees to 4 degrees was reported from the north ern sections. The week was windy throughout-north to east directions prevailing in the northern half, and south to southwest directions in the southern half of the Territory.
 Rapid progress was made in blow Ing, planting and cultivation in the northern counties, where early sown grass is doing finely. The nights were much too cool, with occasional light frost, checking the growth of garden truck and fruit over that section. The grain harvest is about finished over the extreme southern counties, and is still being pursued energetically in the central counties. The quantity and quality have not been surpassed. Wheat and barley have begun to head
 
 worms have injured corn. to some ex- tent. A few fields of alfalfa are being cut for the second time.
 Water is being used more gener- ally than at the preceding report, ex- cepting the southern sections. The repairs to the canals and dams in the central sections are nearly completed. There is a plentiful supply of water, and a largely increased service Is be- ing maintained. Progress in the Agua Fria canal is, unavoidably, slow.
 Tree fruit has deteriorated slightly since the last report. Peaches, pears and apples are dropping; pomegranates setting heavily; apricots and figs in abundance; young oranges look thrifty.
 Vegetables of many varieties are growing well. Cantaloupes, watermel- ons and cucumbers have appeared upon the market. Tomatoes are ripening The sales of snap beans and new white potatoes are unusually large.
 The condition of meadows, pastures and ranges has not changed material-' ly, excepting over the northern sec tions, where grass shows decided inn provement. There is an abundance of stock water. Cattle, generally, are in prime condition.
