 T think. too, that the Council should raise the assessed valuation of all city property to the extent of the necessary Sf0.O00, so that the bond may be voted on by the citizens.
 A stricter scavenger system is all that I can suggest to make the town more healthy. If they would adopt the plan tried with success in Daw- son and other camps in the Klondike, I believe that it would do a great deal Of good. They would fine a man a heavy amount there if his place was not put in as cleanly a condition as possible. I don't say that the own could be kept absolutely clean, but the citizens could burn hp the greater part of the surface rubbish which Is so offensive to every one who passes any of the places. Many of the citizens say that there is no way to dispose of this rubbish, but believe that if the alternative of get ting rid of it or paying a fine was put before them some way would soon be found to do away with this part of the germ bearing filth, at least"

 T am not enough of a doctor to make statement that would be worth while on the typhoid fever part. I really don't know whether the sew CT would reduce typhoid or not"
 T know that the sewer would help the town in many ways. though. q really have no feeling about the matter of the Council raising the as sessment on the property 80 as to make up the necessary s46.o00. If they think that the sewer can be in- stalled for s100,006, then I say let them raise the assessment so that the matter can be voted on. but if there is any doubt about the amount, then am very much opposed to their doing so.
 "Of course, I recognize the necessi- ty of having a sewer. but if the city can't put it in, then I am in favor of letting some private individual have the sewer franchise.
 'fThe sewer is really the only thing that I know of that would have any great effect on the sanitary condition of the town. Whether the sanitary inspector will do the good that has been promised remains to be proved

 -I have been in town for such a short time that I do not feel qualified to express an opinion on the bond is sue. l do not hesitate a moment though, in saying that a sewer is bad ly needed by the town and that any thing that may be done to acquire one will. ir my opinion, be justified by the good it would do the town in a santa " way.
 The only thing that I could sug Gest. however. for the improvement oi health conditions in the town would be a stricter scavenger system. don't believe that the city will ever be very healthy until something is done toward putting in the sewer and getting rid of all the cess pools around the town

OPINIONS REGARDING SEWERAGE SYSTEM TO
 IMPROVE SANITARY CONDITION OF BISBEE
INTERVIEWS TAXPAYERS OF THE CITY RELATIVE TO WHAT BELIEVE SHOULD
 

to of
  Cases Provide Appalling Figures.
Bisbee daily review., 1905-07-18

Relative to the need of improved sanitary conditions in the city, as demonstrated by the above appalling typhoid record for 1904. the Review is interviewing taxpayers regarding the building of a sewerage system. Wheth- CT for or against a sewer, whether for or against municipal ownership, the following questions will be found in interviews printed below:
 Are you in favor of an issue of S100,- GOO in bonds for the purpose of install ing a sewerage system?
 Do you think that this bond issue will cover the amount of expense?
 Do you think that the extra taxation will be justified by resultant improve ment in health conditions in the city?
 Do you think the system should be owned by the city or by private indi' viduals or corporations?
 D you think that by installing a sewerage system the ravages of ty- phoid fever and of all infectious dis eases will be lessened?
 Can you make any suggestions as to a remedy for these conditions if the sewerage system is not installed?

Cold Storaue
 BEEF

Not shipped in from a Cold Storage Plant but from our own cold storage here in Bisbee.
 This means more than you will rec ognize at first glance. Cold storage beef shipped in is not in as good con dition to be marketed to the Bisbee consumers as our beef. We buy our own cattle, kill them ourselves and then put them in our cold storage, from which the meat is sold to you direct from the cold storage on short notice. Therefore our meat comes to you fresher with less chance from taint during this hot weather.

s'Certanly we should have sewer, and that as soon as possible. I am not in favor of municipal ownership, however" said E. B. Mason. That is an entirely untried proposition in this town, and l don't know that am in favor of starting it. Municipal ownership was to do much in Chica- go. but up to the present tiple it has not proved a very great success l believe that 1t would be very much better to let some competent private individual handle the installation of a sewer than to let a lot of incompe- tent people get hold of the matter. They would be almost certain to make a botch of 1t in some way, and then there would be the chance of graft, too. to thfnk of in connection with municipal ownership. I don't be- lieve that siO0,00 would install the sewer. anyway. According to my no notion it would take at least S250, 900 to put it in so that it would benefit the town 10 any extent.
 The only thing that could suggest to put the town ia better sanitary condition, if the sewer were not in stalled, would be the proper enforce ment of the ordinance concerning the cleanliness of the town. mean by that. have the sanitary inspector go around to the different houses in town and see that the people burn up all of their rabbish and keep their yards in as cleanly a condition as possible.

Ebcnezer Gray.

He thought he was christian
Did old EDcnczer Gray,
He never missed church meetings
And was always glad to pray
Hc did not let religion
Hurt his business through the weols
But on Sunday morning
He was righteous like and meek,
he used to havo manner
That would make n clown feol "blue;'
He used to chill his nolghbors,
And his home was chilly, too.
But in the church on Sunday
You could never find him late,
And when it came TO roofing
In religion, he was great.
II used to skin all comers
Through tho week, and liked the
game;
Yet claimed TO run his business
In tho Alnstcr's holy name.
He never let The doctrine
Used on Sunday, undcrstnnd,
Affect upon week day,
Any deal he had on hand
Some people called him "brothor,'
And great numbers called him ramos
Tho latter pooplo being
These who fathomcd all his aims.
He died in proper season-.
Crossed unto another shore
And this is what St. Peter
Told The fellow at tho door:
"Whilc you were good on Sundays,
Through tho week, Eb, you were
tough:
Hence when [ speak yonr sentence,
DO not think that am rough.
Now You can spend your Sundays
Hero in heaven very we'll,
But week days Eboznocr,
We're going to give you -"

Uncle Sam'-Origin of the Name.

the origin Of the torn "UncIe sam

govol nment.
In the war Of 1912, betwoon this
country and Groat BritIan, Elbtrt
Anderson Of New York purchased
iii Troy, N. y. a large amount Of

men and passed currently, and
"Uncio SAM himself being pres

the increasing extent Of his posses

in print, and tho joke gained favor
rapidly, till 1T penetrated and was
recognized in evory part o. the
country, and will no doubt CON

ORIGIN OF "JoHN BUIL.'
Tho term "John BuLl" is u satir-

people, derived from Arbuthnot's
"IIistory of John Bull" in which
