The people of the entire country
will rejoice over the fact that the
president has won out on his fight
with the beef trust. The house
committee on agriculture finally
authorized Chairman Wadsworth and
Representative Brooks, of Colorado,
to amend the meat inspection pro-
vision of the agricultural appropria-
tion bill so as to meet the views of
Roosevelt, after which the measure
will be submitted to the president by
Speaker Cannon. 1t is stated that
not all of the presidents suggestions
will be accepted if the wishes of the
Committee will be complied with.
Discussion made it plain that there
we're objections to eliminating the
court review provision as suggested
by the president, also his wishes that
the Civil Service commission furnish
the inspectors be complied with.
There is opposition to placing the
date of manufacture on the label and
inserting the words sin the judgment
of the Secretary of Agriculture, :"
thus making the secretary the final
authority regarding the measure.
There was some criticism by men,
hers of the committee as to the
method employed in handling the
measure, as no republican member
who represented the minority views
nor arv democratic member of the
committee is to have anything to do
with redrafting the substitute. If
the measure passes as suggested it
will show that the beef trusts hereto
fore pronounced domination of con-
gress is on the wane. The people of
the country generally look to the re-
along many lines, and if the party is
guided by the views of the president
it will be more firmly entrenched in
the confidence of the people than
ever before.

THE reduction of one cent per
mile by the Southern Pacific and
Santa Fe railroads throughout the
west is a move on the part of the
management of the railroads which
will be greatly appreciated by the
people. The reduction on rates ap-
plies to all the middle west, and will
no doubt be allowed by all other lines
of Importance in the same section. 1t
is announced that the reason for the
reduction in the rates was brought
about by the desire of the manage
ment of the roads to assist in build
ing up the west. 1t is the first time,
we believe, in the history of railroads
in the west when they haye volun-
tarily reduced their rates, and it
shows that the roads are now under
broader and more liberal manage
ment than heretofore. Now if they
would give us freight rate in like
proportion to the passenger rates
the west would take on a big boom.
The fare on the main line of the
Southern Pacific is reduced to four
cents a mile. This reduction places
Arizona on an equal footing with
nearly all of the western states and
gives a lower rate than a great
many of the states of this section.
The rate of the Burlington in South
Dakota and Wyoming, where there is
a more dense population than here,
is five cents, and the rate of the
Colorado to Midland is six cents.
The Denver & Rio Grande rate is five
cents In Colorado and six cents in
New Mexico. The FL Paso & South
western rate is five cents.

visable to have separate troops.
The enlistment term of number
of the members of the troop expire

infantry drill as now practiced every
Wednesday evening, mounted drill
is to be substituted. A corral will
be built by the members of the troop,

who will be at the services of the
troop members. Already seventeen

The residents of Crystal avenue
soon as it was announced that the
people on Hills fat we're organizing
fire department a meeting was held
on Crystal avenue and an organizat ton
formed by electing Reece Webster
chief and DR.. Burtch assistant chief.
AS it transpired the assistant is pref
ty nearly the whole thing as Reece
is out of town most of the time and
don't know much about fire fighting
anyway, while the assistant has had
varied experiences in some warm
old fires, therefore the preliminary
arrangements were left entirely to
him. He at once wisely decided that
in order to fight fire successfully it
would be necessary to have hose and
water, and this reminded him of the
fact that a few years ago the citizens
of Crystal avenue contributed to-
wards the purchase of several hun
dred feet of hose. After a diligent
search of the neighborhood he found
the hose nicely coiled up and carefully
stored away in the garnet of the Rim
gold residence. The doctor is man
of action. He got the hose out, in
spected it, and after determining
that it was in fit condition, he had a
large box built for its reception at
the fire plug, where it can now be
found at all hours, and he is now sit
ting up nights just waiting for fire
to start that he may show the people
across the river that they are not
the "only pebbles on the beach,"
Crystal avenue, therefore, now en-
joys the distinction of having the first
organized and equipped fire depart
ment in town.

The business men of Chase creek,
who recently organized for the pur-
pose of lettering conditions in that
section of town, held another meet
ing Monday night, and perfected
their organization by appointing
committees to carry out certain lines
of improvement. They have taken
hold of the sanitary conditions of
the town in earnest, and in this
should have the active cooperation
of all the citizens of that section.
Another important enterprise which
they have under way is the cleaning
out of the bed of Chase creek. The
raising of the wall along the creek
is well enough in its way, but if the
bed of the creek is not cleaned out
AMI kept clean. it will be neCes-
sary to raise the wall after. each
Hood. The bed of the creek is in
places as high as the street, and as it
continues to rise the flood waters
will leave the creek and come down
the town. The Chase creek
people are doing a good work for the
town, which will have a beneficial
effect if kept up.

it has been necessary to cross the

grade and only a short distance from
a sharp curve and deep cut, making
it very hazardous for those at

termined some time ago that it
was necessary to find safer route
and Mr.. Cobb was employed to make
the survey. His report was adopted
