Improving Rolling Mills.

force of mechanics has been at work in the Bessemer Rolling Mill dur ing the past week installing a new en- zine and roughing mill, which will ma terially increase the output of this plant, and result in the employment of additional men. The old guide mill has been moved and connected in tandem with the new roughing mill and both will be driven by the new 100-horse- power engine just installed. This will enable larger billets to be handled and greatly increase the product of that department. A test of the new machin- cry was made yesterday.

Two women Sent to Jail.

In the Criminal Court here today Madeline French and Helen Lockspur, two white women. were sent to Jail for five days being convicted for obtaining board under false pretensss. The wo- men left a trunk with boarding house keeper for board. The trunk was heavy. When opened 1t was found to contain bricks, rocks and other things.
 The women wept bitterly when taken before the judge to be sentenced. They told a pitiful story. They both claimed to have belonged to a carnival com pany which stranded. They claimed that they did not care to degrade themselves and therefore went to a first class boarding house. They ex- pected to secure assistance, but 1t did not come and they made effort to get away the best they could, expecting to make good any loss sustained. The solicitor who tried the case was ready to make recommendations of a dis missal and the five days was given as the lightest possible punishment. The women were in jail for four weeks.

Both Classes Interested.

The relationship of the farmers of a
community and the business men
should be most cordial. Only for the
farmers, the laborers and others that
comprise the great part of the popula-
ton the merchants would have little
excuse for being in business. The in
terests Of both classes are parallel.
One cannot we'll get along without the
other. The merchant more depends
upon the success of the farmer and the
labore~ than does either of the latter
on the success of the former In reality
all are laborers working in their re-
spective fields. Between them there
should be the greatest harmony. In
towns that are noted for activity and
progress, particularly in agricultural
sections. it will be found that it is the
united efforts Of both classes that win.

A Good Plan.


A Michigan town recently adopted a
good plan to keep it's streets free Of
rubbish. Tin boxes about the size Of
ash cans were placed on the street
corners for the reception Of waste pa
per and other rubbish, and the result
is that the town has cleaner streets
than ever before. 1t has also led to
other plans for identifying and i'm
proving the community.
Support Home Industries.
Build up your home town! The only
way it can be done is by lending your
support to every home enterprise. Keep
within your community every dollar
earned within it and bring into it
every dollar that through your efforts
Is earned elsewhere. Bear In mind
that an enterprise that will give en-
ployment to dozen hands. even
though its capital may not be great,
means the supporting Of number Of
families, and these families help make
better home market for the produce
that Is raised on the farm. No town
was ever built up, remember, by its
people sending from it their surplus
earnings--Home Trade Advocate.

THE COUNTRY PRESS.
A Power In Building Up Towns and
Drawing Trade.

Drawing Trade.
The country newspaper is power in
the land. Its place can never be filed
by the big daily papers or the bulky
magazines or agricultural Journals 1t
fills field entirely it's own. 1t is the
barometer Of the place in which it is
published. Its news pages represent
the life Of the people, and its advertis
ing pages should reflect the business
activity Of the town.
1t is the duty Of every good citizen
to give his support to the local press,
says the Home Trade Advocate. Par
ticularly the business man should pat
ronize it with view Of lettering his
trade. 1t is not money wasted to use
advertising space in it. One good mer-
chant in the town who understands
how to advertise rightly can bring
trade to the town that will help every
other business man in it,
But all should do their part, and the
storekeeper who does not give his
home paper the support it merits Is
not the wisest kind Of business man.

For Growth. and Prosperity.

Every town welcomes desirable pop
ulation. Every town pays homage to
the visitor. The ordinary, everyday
visitor strOlls or rides through the
streets in leisurely. observant way,
and his first impressions generally
form his judgment. Ordinarily streets
are planned and paved solely for com.
mercial or residential purposes. We
are contented to be jolted over rough
cobblestones or dragged through the
mire SO we "get there" but this is not
wise. Common business Judgment
commands US to beautify and attract.
and while it may be uncharitable to
--.judge a man by his clothes" yet we
generally do SO. Beautify every street
as far as possible consistent with
street purposes.

 CAPITALISTS CAUGHT UP - Among the delinquents who faced Jus tice Burnett yesterday morning were two men whose names appear on the docket as John Doe and Robert Roe. If the name of one of them is Doe the other ought to be also, for they look enough alike to be the Null cahys. Their real names have not been made public. but it is known that they are eastern men who came here a day or two ago to conclude an important mining deal. They were arrested for fighting, and at the time they were taken both were drunk. They were given the usual fine in such cases.

Semi Annual Taxpayfng.

From time to time the matter Of making taxes in this territory payable semi-annually has been agitated but the agitation has never taken the form of definite action. In most states taxes are paid semi-annually, though in all of them they were formerly paid an- nually. That was found by long ex- the accumulation of large sums in the public treasuries from whose use no benefit was derived by anybody.
 Within the last two months more than S2OO 900 has been paid into the county treasury for taxes. No doubt a great deal of that was raised with difficulty and most of it inconveniently The withdrawal of such sum from the community is necessarily telling on it. leaving it in a more or less en- feebled condition. The county does not need so much money all at once. Half of it will not be disbursed within the next six months. The other half would serve the farmers and other property owners, many oI "hoiii e'Ae P"' 9 heavy rates of interest on their con tributions, better than it will serve the county. Even though it derive a slight income from the daily balances paid by the banks with which under the new law it may be deposited, for six months that other half in the hands of the taxpayers would be earning more money.
 It would be we'll for the business men of the towns of Arizona, and for other property owners to get together and take up the matter of amending the revenue law so that their hard earned tax money will not lie fallow for hall the year.
