EXTENDING FIRE
 MAIN PROTECTION
FIRE COMMITTEE IS LOOKING OVER CITY TO FIX ROUTES
 FOR MORE MATERIALS.
About s5,ooo Available for Expendi- ture in Increasing This SerViee-To
 Get Material Results From Work
 Paid Fire Department Is Necessary.

The fire committee of the City Coun- cil was cut yesterday afternoon for look over the hilsides of the city. The particular object of the inspection was to ascertain where about s5,OO0 could be spent to the best advantage in pro viding increased fire main protection for the city.
 The committee has as yet definitely decided upon nothing, and will not reach final conclusion until at least a couple more afternoons are utilized in looking the ground over. Then the City Engineer will probably be called upon 10 make a map of the routes that may be chosen for the fire main eXten- sons. and this with the committed s report will go before the Council for consideration. There is very little doubt that the report will be adopted practically as submitted.
 The money available at the present time which may be turned by the Council into the putting down of addi- tional fire main pipe will provide an increase of four or five thousand fee; to the present system. The latter now covers in a very thorough man ner all the down town portion of the city, and affords protection to a good portion of the residence quarters of the town. The additions planned will probably get over ground on Chihuhua School and Quality Hills that is not directly in touch with mains.
 The additions will be in the shape of laterals from the big 5-inch mains in Brewery and Main streets. The new laterals will be of three-inch pipe With the connection recently made by the city with the pumps of the Copper Queen water can be put through these laterals in ease of need to the high est ground occupied by residents within the city limits.
 While all the latter can not be i'm mediately reached by the main exten- sions that are now contemplated with money available, the fire protection service will be very materially extend ed. The policy of the Council to ex- tend as rapidly as possible to all points in the city will be aided by a long step.
 Remaining to be accomplished in the direction of securing fire protec- tiOn that will be of material value to the city, both in the way of actual pro lection and in the way of securing lowered rates from the fire insurance companies, is the requirement of a paid fire department Singly. the fire main system counts for nothing with the insurance companies, but in con- junction with a paid fire department insurance men say that the expert ences of Tucson, Phoenix and Prescott would undoubtedly be duplicated here. In those cities the fire insurance com panies immediately on the establish. ment of paid fire departments in con. nection with sufficient fire main sys tens reduced insurance rates to extenj that applied here would mean the say. ing to property owners of Bisbee many thousands of dollars annually.

HACKNEY AGAIN IN JAIL.
Charged With Being Sneak Thief-l: Man Who Asks S5,ooo Damages.

Man Who Asks S5,0O0 Damages.
 NJ. Hackney, the man who on We'd nesday filed suit against Frank Coies for damages in the sum of s5,0O0, is in jail charged with the theft of s55 from the purse of Mrs. Smith at the Royal Hotel. His arrest followed identifica- tion made by Mrs. Smith of him as the man who entered her house on We'd nesday about noon and shortly after whose departure she found that her purse had been stolen.
 Hackney alleges that S60 found on his person when he was arrested by Officer White was won by him at a gambling table Wednesday. He stat cd further that he had won the money from a stake of s2 that he had when he left his room at the Hughes House. In the room there is a sick wife who has been greatly distressed by the trouble Hackney is in. She has been sick for three weeks. during which time she says Hackney has been al- most constantly at her bedside. When questioned by Officer White yesterday she said that he had left her only once on Wednesday. going out about nun anu iCLLAAlL sHDELlg LHtTGdIICT.
 The officers believe that they have a strong case against Hackney, and that at his hearing in the court of Justice Murphy this afternoon he will be shown to be guilty. After the theft of the money at the Royal Wednesday the thief threw the chatelaine bag con taining the purse back of a bath tub. where it was later found by Officer White. In this bag were the diamond ring and other pieces of jewelry which were thought at first to have been stol- en along with the money. Whether the thief overlooked these valuabies or whether he did not care to take along anything subject to identification can only be guessed at

justice for hearing of the complaint. The latter was filed yesterday by a resident in the neighborhood where the nuisance prevailed. The com plainant yesterday objected to the dumping of a filthy mess of vile smell ing refuse in front of his property, and was told by the Slovenian guilty of the offense that it was none of his business. The complainant thereupon made it his business, and the afflicted neighborhood will thus get it's griey- .ance into court.

AGRICULTURAL.
INTENSIVE FARMING NEEDED.

In travelling over the country l md the farmers in all sections fall into the common error of wanting to farm too much land. This Is especially true Of the western farmers. They start out with an acreage that would require every day close cultivation to keep the crops in anything like good condition. NO allowance whatever is made for bad or wet weather when they cannot get on the land to cultivate it. The result IS that when we have weeks of wet weather, as we are likely to have any season, the farmer is unable to save his crops. In such seasons everything needs to be done at once and done quickly If the crops are saved. A few days loss of time at this critical moment decide the profits as we'll as the yield of the crop.
 After one of these long rainy spells
 the soil as soon as dry enough to be worked, should be stirred just as soon as possible and before 1t becomes too dry
 One good cultivation when the soil is just right after a heavy rain Is worth more than three cultivations after the soil becomes dried out. hard and the weeds and grass we'll started. The time to kill weeds and grass is before they
