cent may be levied. This goes into what is called the road fund.-" and can only be used for the purposes spec flied. The peculiarity about this fund is that under the conditions which confront the citizens of Bisbee, it takes all of the fund and quite a good deal more to maintain the roads in any respectable condition. Now that sewer bonds have been voted, the city is allowed to levy tax of three tenths of one per cent for the pay ment of the interest on these bonds. This is the extent of the tax levy at the present time, bcause the remain ing one-tenth of one per cent can only be levied for certain purposes speci- fled by the Territorial statute.
 The assessed valuation of the city, according to the latest assessment, is approximately the sum of $2,000,00 The tax roll for all purposes is nine mills. from which can be seen that the sum which the city will get from taxation this year will be about s1S,- 900, while it costs something like S75,- 900 to run the city. The remaining expenses are defrayed by the licenses, which are assessed to the different classes of business.
 The tax rate in Cochise county this year will be s2.65, wherea sthe city rate is go.
 The City of Bisbee at the present time is paying the sum of s25 a month for street sprinkling. while many of the prominent physicians of the city say that the dust is the cause of great deal of disease.
 The men who are behind the move ment which is now on foot, intend to bring the matter to the attention of the next territorial legislature and ask that body to memorabilia Congress on this subject.
 It will be necessary to petition Con- gross for the new charter. because since the Harrison act was passed the territorial legislature has had no power 70 pass statutes of this kind.
 The cities of Tucson, Phoenix and Prescott are all existing under spe- cial charters, which were granted to them before the Harrison act was passed by Congress, and they have powers by which they can conduct the business of the city properly.
 The principal reasons why the new movement has been started. are: To get increased fire protection, 10 build good roads, to extend the sewer sys- tenn if it Is ever found necessary, to maintain street sprinkling depart ment. to pay the city officials salary, and in short to do all things which a city of Bisbee's size should do, in or der to make the city desirable place to live, and place to which men will bring their families when they come to take a position in the city.
 Mayor Caven has interested himself in the new movement, and is very de- sirous of seeing the improvements wEich are necessary made in the shortest possible time. When seen

military secretary of the department of Texas, this afternoon received an order for the abandonment of the post.
 While tho order calls for the tenn porary abandonment or the post it is the opinion among many that it will mean the permanent abandonment of that post and many think this implies that the post will be abandoned and the property sold.
 This step on the part of the war department has been taken as a re- suit of the recent disturbances at Brownsville by the battalion of the Twenty y-fifth infantry, which resulted in their removal to Fort Reno, O.

Prominent Citizens Taking Steps to Get Charter from
 Congress.

It is probable that within a short time definite steps will be taken to- wards securing for the City of Bisbee charter which will grant to the municipality power adequate for the proper conduct of the afafirs which are incidental to the existence of city of this size. This matter has been discussed for some time, and while many have expressed their desire to see the City Council empowered to make necessary improvements, up un- til a short time ago no definite action was taken.
 It has been felt for some time past that the laws under which Bisbee is operating were not adequate, having been formulated for village rather than for city of Bisbee's size. The city has outgrown the laws, and the leaders in the new movement want to take the proper steps to have the same powers granted to our city as are granted to other cities of a much smaller size throughout the Territory.
 At the present time just about 15 per cent of the expenses incidental to the running of the city is collected in taxes, and the remaining S4 per cent is made up by the licenses.
 Under the present system, the City Council are empowered to levy a tax of not more than one per cent for all purposes. Four-tenths of this one per cent must be levied for what is termed the general fund" This is the fund from which all salaries are paid. and all other expenses except those of maintaining roads, and paying interest on bonded indebtedness. For the maintenance and construction of roads a tax of two-tenths of one per

Louis, which publishes in Spanish a paper called "Regeneracion." He characterizes the troubles that have already occurred as nothing mere than small labor riots.
 "If there should be any local dis turbanees," says Mr. Thompson, "they will be handled rightly by the Mexi- can government. Such thing as a general uprising is not to be seriously considered"
 The ambassador suggested that if the publishers of Regeneration" could be dealt with as anarchists, Diaz would feel deep gratitude.
 The state department has referred to the department of justice the ques- ton of what action could be taken against the paper.
 The principal interest in Douglas regarding the Mexcan revolution ists arrested here centers about the hearing, which Is set for this af- ternoon before United 1tates Con- missioner Albert Sames. The examin- ation will be conducted in Justice Mo Donald's court room.
 Thq agftators, arrested on the charge of violating the neutrality law, in organizing military expedition against friendly power, it is presum. ed will go to trial on that charge though there has been some talk of the charge being changed to a viola, tion of the immigration laws, under which they would be deported, and, no l.rx I ican government. It is said that the United States authorities have been requested to deport them, the motive lof the Mexican government being to minimize as much as possible the revo- lutionary talk, such as undoubtedly would follow a detailed recital of the plans of the revolutionists as brought out by trial under the conspiracy charge.
 To date sixteen arrests have been made by the.l local officers and of this number three have been released. Though it is not officially so given out it Is the belief that the govern ment will only prosecute the principal offenders among those arrested, about six in number. and will hold the oth- CTS only as witnesses. The prosecu- tion of Salcido. Rubio. Espinosa and a few others will certainly be pushed bv the American government. United States Attorney Alexander of Phoenix is in the city to take charge of the governments case and he will be s. sisted by Assistant United States At. torney Jones. The Mexicans will be defended by Attorney Ross of this city.

A Foolish RazOrback.

Down in South Arkansas where they grow cotton, sing songs and contract malaria, a railroad is often asked to foot the bill for a valuable razorback which frisks on the right-of-way and is sent to hog heaven by a through freight. The owner of the foolish porker not only gets no money from the railroad but very little sympathy from the cool-hearted railway official.
 At Levesque, farmer whose razorback furnished grease spot between the ties after the wheels had thoroughly ground bis carcass sent in his bill to cov- CT the loss of his animal iii the form of a poem. This is what he said:
 Levesque, Ark, April 1st, 1906. MT. P. G. Walton,
 Asst. Suppl, Waynne, Ark, My razorback strolled down your track A week ago today; Your 279 came down the line And snuffed his light away, You can't blame me, for the hog you
 see,
 Sneaked through your cattle gate, So kindly send check for ten This claim to liquidate. Yours very truly, T. SHELBY BLYTHE. The assistant superintendent sent back the following consoling reply:
 Wynne, Ark, April 9th, 1906 MT. T. Shelby Blythe,
 Levesque, Ark, Dear Sir:-- Our 279 came down the line And killed your hog we know; But Razor backs on railroad tracks Quite often meet with woe. Therefore my friend we can not send The check for which you pine; Go bury the dead, place at his head, l "Here lies foolish swine."
