Among the freight receipts at Pres
colt during the past two days have
been two car loads of apples, two car
loads of potatoes, one car load of as
sorted vegetables, one car load of oats
for Whipple, one car load of condensed
milk, one car lead of powder, one car
load of pipe, and three car loads of
/ hay and one car load of theatrical
scenery, besides a number of carloads
of miscellaneous merchandise. From
this it will be seen that hatever the
condition of general business in this
section may be, the railroad is not
lacking for business.
While railroad business is the voca-
tion followed by ". s. Goldswortby,
ne has chosen chicken raising for his
avocation. He had succeeded up to
Monday in securing four hens
and one rooster. The hens we're fairly
Industrious, providing his small family
with from ten to twelve eggs per week.
But while the above conditions pre-
vailed on Monday evening, on Tues
day morning he found himself almost
deprived of an avocation entirely, as
on going to look after his little flock
of chickens, he found that during the
night some one had entered the por-
tals of his hennery and had carried oft
three of his hens, leaving only two
birds, one rooster and one hen, for
him to devote his spare time to care
fo1. He naturally feels quite ''put
OUT at the human coyotes who would
thus rob of him of this source of
pleasure and recreation.
In his response to toast on Saturday
night at the Yavapai clubs anniver
sary dinner, Major Holbrook, of
Whipple, referred to the cordial rela-
lions existing between the citizens of
Prescott and the garrison and how on
account of this and the salubrity of
the climate of this section Whipple
has now come to be looked upon as a
very desirab Die post for assignment of
officers. Major Holbrook further
stated that it is still a necessity for
our people to exert every influence at
their command, to secure the contin-
ued construction of buildings requir
ed and very delicately referred to the
/ fact that new wagon road between
/ Whipple was a necessity and then if
Mr.. Wright would extend his electric
1 trolley line to Whipple it would still
/ further facilitate the means for more
satisfactory communication between
the two places. Mr. Wright is only
awaiting the final action of the city
council and the authorities at Whip
pie to do the latter as he does not
wish to construct the line over one of
the present roads in use only to have
new road built later and he com
PEELED to move his track.
