NEW TOWN TOR BORDER
Talk Of One spdnging Up Between
 Nogsles and Nseo.

In the Arizona correspondence in the Los Angeles Examiner of a recent date, appeared the follow ing:
 For more than a year there has been considerable talk in railroad circles to the effect that a new town will spring up in Arizona on the international border that will ac- quire a population of ten thousand people in less than three years after the first enterprise is estab- lished. Not till this week was any thing definite known as to the exact location or resources of the proposed town.
 This week the information has been given out by railroad officials at Tucson that the Southern Pacific interests are preparing to establish on the San Pedro river, about twenty miles west of Naco and about forty miles east of Nogales, a smelting plant that will cost $5,- 100000. Not long ago a Southern Pacific official, in conversation with a Nogales man, ventured the opin- ion that the Cananea, Yaqui River & Pacific extension, now being built south through Sonora, Sina- loa, Topic and Jalisco, to connect at Guadalaiara with the Mexican Central, making a through line from Benson, Ariz., to the City of Mexico, would cross the inter- national line between Nogales and Naco, at the point where the San Pedro river crosses the line. The news now given out to the effect that that the Southern Pacific in- terests will erect a $5,000,000 smell ter at that point definitely settles the location of the much talked of town.
 "With such a shelter as is pro- posed, town on the San Pedro at the crossing of the line, would grow with rapidity seldom if ever equaled in the development of the southwest. The proposed location is in the very heart of one of the richest mineral belts in Arizona and Sonora. A custom smelter of large capacity is all that is re- quired to insure the opening up of scores of mines by mining men who lack the millions necessary to establish such plant.
 'In addition to being the center of great mineral belt, the new town, if the Cananea, Yaqui River & Pacific railroad builds from Nacozari, Sonora, north to Benson, Ariz., will be gate of entry to Mexico on direct line to the City of Mexico. The Cananea, YaQui River & Pacific road has already been built east from Guaymas, Sonora, to a point on the Yaqui river, eixty-fve miles east of Quay mas, and is now being extended south from that point to connect with the Mexican Central at Quad alaiara and north from the Yaqui river to Nacozari. The route from the latter point to Benson, Ariz. will be for the most part along the San Pedro river. There will then be two two towns in Arizona from which trains will run south to the City of Mexico-Nogales and the proposed new town"

oi 70 to 70 cents on Inc bulk of the sluff including grass westerns and medium stockefs and feeders, good feeders steady good to choice fed stuff steady Co a shade lower, COWS 10 to lj lower, veal calves b0 cents lower. Top Kansas grass steers sold this week at s5.3j, fair to good grass steers. slO0 to $475, Q few Arkansas Valley Colorado fed steers at s5.20 to s575, Panhandle cows around $275, calves S3.75 to S5.25. No range stoekers or feeders have been here, one drove of high class panhandle feeders wintered and grazed in Kansas, sold at S4.70, weighing 1070 lbs. Country demand for thin cattle has been slack so far, account of farmers being busy with their hay, but de. mand will soon increase greatly, as food of all kinds over nearly the whole feeding territory is first class and prospects of a large corn crop are fine in all localities. Two loads of hogs from Roswell, New Mexico, sold here today, weighing 157 and 192 lbs, respectively at S6.6O, only one load on the market at higher price today.
 Sheep and lambs have now set tied down to a reliable trading basis, after nearly two weeks of heavy and uncertain declines. The drop in price has checked receipts at all points, only 1S,000 here this week, and market is closing the week a little stronger. Native spring lambs sold at S7.50 today, and Arizonas made S7.35 two days ago. Heavy Utah wethers, not very heshy, sold at $5.00 and S4.75 this week. No. Arizona wethers or yearlings have been here this week, yearlings probably worth $5.40 to $5.75, wethers $4.90 to $5.25. Good quality thin flesh wethers are sell ling higher to feeders than fat ones to the killers inst now. Ordinary stock and feeding wethers, and breeding ewes, are ready sale at $4.25 to S4.75. Stock from Utah has lacked flesh so far this season. No Texas muttons or goats in cluded this week.

ST. LOUIS. Oct. 1s.-Chief wilkie of
the United States secret service today
took charge of the investigation into
the alleged shortage of $61,200 in the
funds of the St Louis sub-treasury
He summoned D. P. Dyer Jr, the re-

Bantz. the assistant sub treasurer, who
is credited with having discovered and
reported the alleged discrepancy, was
later called into the conference.
Sub-Treasurer Thomas j. Atkins de-

He said that il would probably occupy
about two weeks in counting the funds
in the sub-treasury and in making
thorough investigation of the accounts
and not until then would it be ascer-

been made or whether there is an

JURORS DRINK ALL
THE EVIDENCE.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

VENTURA, Oct. 1s.-Perhaps Ansel-
mo Feraud will not be tried again for
alleged illegal liquor selling. The rea-
son is that the jury in the last case
drank nearly all the evidence the coun-
ty had against the prisoner. This, in
the main, was bottle of what was
alleged to have been wine.
Feraud has been tried twice, each
time in a strong temperance commu-
nifty. Many liquor sellers have been
mulcted in the county for the offense
of which he was accused. and 1t was
a great surprise when the jury dis
agreed in the first case at Nordhoff
But the jurors at that time only smelled
the bottle and could not fully make up
their minds.
Then the case was transferred to
Santa Paula. This time the bottle was
passed around and again most of the
jurors shifted at it, but could not make
up their minds. Ex-Assemblyman

Sensational Charges Enliven
Session of HarbOr Board.

President Spear asserted that the en-
tire water front was demanded by the
lumbermen. Radical measures must
be taken TO provide facilities for the
river boats" he said. Space must be
given on the wharves for produce. The
lumbermen will not relinquish any
thing Our policy of giving bulkhead
space to Offices is wrong. The office
space now used would equal in area a
wharf 1000 feet long and 100 feet wide.
At jackson street wharf there is a
deadlock between contractors and ship
pers. The contractors cannot build
sheds while the wharf is in use.''
The Chief Wharfnger contended that
the Pacific Mail had all of Pier AZ
covering more space than the company
had before the fire. And you, Mr..
Spear he said. took the little wharf
from me and gave it to Mr. Schwerin."

schedule also provides that the rental
of ferry slips used by the California

Shore shall be increased This increase
will add $3.50 a month to the States
revenue.
Mr.. Croker said that equal adjust
ment required that a reduction should
be made in the rental of Southern Pa
cfhc slips, or that an increase be levied
on the other companies. The Crocker
schedule was adopted by unanimous
vote, to take effect November l, 1906.

Charles H. Spear, president of the
State Board of Harbor Commissioners,
and Senator Richard J. Welch, Chief
Wharf1nger, had a lively tilt at the
meeting of the board yesterday after
noon Spear sharply censured wharf
fingers for inconpetency, neglect of
duty and generaT.incapacity, saying to
the Chief Wharfnger:
You know that so per cent of the
wharfingers should be fired and young,
active men put in their places. who
would hustle about and do something

The Chief Wharhnger did not make
special denial of the charges Of incom-
potency. but plainly intimated that the
president of the commission was re-
sponsible for the congested conditions
Welch said:
THE board authorized me TO use
the little Mail dock to relieve the
situation. but you know. Mr.. Spear,
that you arranged with Mr.. Schwerin,
or whatever his name is, to allow the
Mail Company to hold the wharf. You
took il from me and gave 1T to
SchWerin. 1 found the little Mail dock
locked. There are only 400 feet of
covered dock at my disposal. All the
rest is assigned"
President Spear reiterated his as
sertion that the wharfingers, or ma
jority of such employees, were not worth
anything. In one case they had re-
ported the arrival of boat that had
not arrived, he said. They were too
lazy to walk twenty feet to learn the
name of the craft that came In.
DEMANDS OF LUMBERMEN.
Commissioners Crocker and Mac
kenzie were eager listeners, and at the
conclusion of the combat a motion was
made that Commissioners Mackenzie
and the Chief Wharfnger should decide
without Intervention as to whether
Spear-street wharf or the little Mail
should be taken as a relief measure.
Suggestion was made that Williams
Dimond & Co. might surrender some
space. Mr.. Crocker remarked: They
would go UP into the air seventy five
feet If you made such a suggestion to
them"

RENO, New, Oct. 1s.-With debts ag-
gregating $4,000, Rev. Ben Blanchard,
the promoter of the boom town of Mon
arch, in the Manhattan district, has
fed, and Monarch, the town of many
promises, is now practically thing of

way sorrowfully back to Manhattan.
The Monarch Tribune, which was pub
lished in the new. town, has suspended

all the property which remains in
Blanchard's name.
Blanchard left the town some time
ago, giving out that he was going
East to get capital interested in the
place with a view toward constructing
a railroad to the town. He has not
been heard of since. and has sent no
funds to liquidate the many debts
which he left behind. His creditors
assert that they will leave no stone

that vicinity Bruggy was a prisoner
