ARIZONA ORANGES IN DEMAND. Che Csrioad Sent tc New York Sold
 for S3,5Oo.

Arizona oranges have broken the worlds record. according to a dispatch received by Walter Bennett, president of the Arizona Orange Growers asso- ciation. from the commission dealer who handles the oranges in New York city for the association. The mes sage states that the last car that reached New York sold for an average of 5S.4e. which is the highest price ever paid for a car of oranges in any market in the world.
 The car consisted Of about 400 crates of the finest Arizona Dayels. and consequently brought approx inateiy s3.500.
 As the reputation of the Arizona Orange spreads, so does it's price go upward. Although last years crop was considerably short of that raised this year, the oranges this year have brought fancier prices right along than ever before.
 The Arizona orange from the time i. has existed has stood up beside the California orange and the Flosnla orange and made them look cheap. but this price is twice as much as, WAS ever paid for California oranges, aad about twothirds more thar Florida oranges bring. Fifteen hundred dcl- lars a car Is considered gool figure fer California oranges.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2i-Mrs. Flora B.

JOHN ). COULD
 NOT COUNT MONEY It Would Take 2,500,0O0 Peo- pie a Year to Earn His
 Fortune.

H. H. Rogers and John b Archbold have estimated the income of John L. Rockefeller at sG0. 0.000.0 900 year. Cap italizing this income at per cent. MT. Rockefeller's estate amounts to $1,200. 100000. At the average wages paid in manufacturing establishments. it would require the labor of 2.250,000 persons for 8 whole year to earn this fortune.
 Mir. Rockefeller could almost buy two ordinary States at the assessed value of the property. If the d. income came in gold dollars. he coulc not count them one by one as the, fell into bis hands. Some time ago his son. who is an eminent Sunday school teacher. arranged for a dinner for his class, each member to pay :1 It vas found that prices have ad- vanced so much since the last class dinner that the usual sum would not be sufficient to buy the usual dinner. and so the oysters. soup and sevefa. other dishes had to be omitted. Bur if 1t took an hour to eat what was setved. the young teachers father gathered $G,s40 while the young man and his pupils were sitting at the table.
 After a peaceful sleep of eight hours. MT.

SCARCITY 'OF STEEL DELAYS RAILROAD WORK Division Superintendent Bolts Talks About Railroad lm-
 provementS.

Emmet T. Bolts, division superin- tendent of the Kansas City & Orient with headquarters at Topolobampo. is in Fl Paso today enroute to Kansas City, where the headquarters of tne company are located. Mir Bolts is making his first trip out of the Topolo- bampo to the states in two years and he will remain away in a leave of ab- sence of a month.
 When he landed in Fl Paso it was a case of hurry up to get winter clothini and an overcoat, as he comes from a place where a 6hirtsleeve costume is the thing all the year round and Christmas and New Year celebrations are served up by the weather man steaming hot.
 Failure to get railroad steel in the United States has delayed the work on the Orient for months pas; sai1 MT Bolts, "and our people finvily had to go to England to get the steel that we needed on our division. It IS ccm- ing now and 1t is promised to us witt in 90 days and then it is hoped that We will be able to get on with the coz struction work which has stalled E.

The road has already been graded be- yond Fuerte to Choix and nothing is left there but to put down the steel when it finally comes.

HORSES ARE SCARCE
Breeders Gazette Reviews the Situa-
ton With Alarm.

A recent number of the Bredeer's Ga
zette, says of horse conditions in the
United States: Where is the great
crop of colts that the phrophets told
us would mature in 1906? When horse
breeders began to breathe again in 1898
and to become general in 1899, ex-
panded in 1900 aud still more largely
followed in 1901, we were assured
by mauy seers of owl like vision that
by the year Of grace 1905 ther would
be plethoric over supply of horses
aud that prices would once more have
fallen below the point of profit.
Now here we are i'll that year,
prices ale on the highest level, take
them all through, ever kuown,a ,aud the
shippers are hunting high aud low,
wearing out shoe leather in great
quantities and though seeking many
horses finding few. Obviously the
prophets have erred somewhere, They
are now without honor in any country
SO far as the borse business is con-
cerned.
Not so long ago it was confidently
stated by a certain species of the
genus calamity bowler that 1--WE had
gone through the period of scarcity
aud not known it," Perhaps we did
travel along such line, but. if we
did not know it, it could not hurt as.
The actual fact is that whatever may
be said of the past, the present horse
market looks awful good to mau mp
tree. Thousands of four-year-o
that are not yet "bard horses" in the
language of the trade, and therefore
not fit to turn to work in the city
streets, and are being sold each week
in all the great marts; a great many
three-year-olds are being marketed
aud even two-year-olds are passing
through the auction sales at all the
leading centers of trade.
Diligent inquiry elicits the most
contradictory views as TO the supply of
colts and fillies not yet years old but
it is true that if the present rate of
borrow from Peter to pay Paul-that
is, the drawing on not only one but
two OF three successive crops of foals
to meet the demand of the present, we
must bump into the stone wall of an
under supply sooner or later, and 1t
surely looks as though things would
be worse than they are now.

e. E. Witherby, the man RESPONSE
BILE for the municipal light plant agi-

the council meeting last evening and
he gave the closest attention to the
report of the general committee. He
received the action of council in ap-
proving the report and concurring in
its recommendation without moving
an eye. Mr.. Witherby didn't think
much of the report and after council
adjourned he picked out several flaws
in the document for the benefit of
those who remained in the council
chamber.
Have you given up hopes of Sc
curing the municipal plant?" asked a
reporter of Mr.. Witherby.
Now you are looking for news,
aren't you?" he replied with laugh.

as o whether the corporation which
he represents would make another eff

CONDUIT MATTER
LAID OVER AGAIN
Council Appoints a Committee
to Cooperate with Board
of Works on Matter.
BELL COMPANY'S PLANS
NOW THE INTENTION TO PLACE
CONDUITS IN ALLEY NORTH OF
MAIN STREET - MUNICIPAL
OWNERSHIP PROBLEM.

The conduit matter bobbed up
again alst evening at council and aft
ter a short discussion the delay, lin
ger and wait policy was again adopted
on the excuse that some of the new
councilmen were not yet thoroughly
acquainted with the subject. The at
titude taken by council in the matter
is best expressed in the words of
Councilman-atLarge Won Pein, who
stated that the question should be
thoroughly ventilated before any ac-
ton was taken" Representatives of
the Central Union Telephone Compa-
ny were on hand in anticipation that
council would make some move, so
that they could begin work of plac-
ing their Main street wires under
ground. However, they were doom
ed to disappointment Council final
ly decided to appoint a committee to
cooperate with the Board of Public
Works in the conduit matter. This
committee is composed of the Messrs.
Ogborn, Englebert and Won Pein.
The committee will first investigate
the city's financial condition.
Council favors municipal conduits and
if the committee finds the city's pock.
etbook to be healthy it will probably
recommend the building of conduits
by the municipality. If the purse is
found to be lean and hungry the COM
mittee will act with the Board, which
is against municipal ownership of the
conduits, n drawing up a contract
with the Central Union Telephone
company for the building OF conduits.
to be owned independently by that
corporation City Attorney Gard
ner, when furnished with the terms
agreed upon by the city and the tele
phone company, will draw up an ordi-
nance which will be presented to
council.
Recently the Central Union people
furnished the Board of Public Works
their plans for a conduN system
These plans are radically different
from the ones first talked of by that
company. They call for a conduit
system from Third street to Four
teenth street, the conduits being plac
ed in the first alley north of Main
street from Fourth street to Four
teenth street. According to these
plans the conduits will be placed or
Main street only for a distance of one
block, from Third street to Fourth
street. From Fourth and Main
street the conduits will run north on
Fourth street to the first alley north
of Main street. Branch conduits will
run south on Fifth, Seventh, Ninth
Eleventh and Fourteenth streets to
the first alley south of Main street for
the purpose of feeding wires into
buildings located on the south side of
Main street.
