RAISING THE FUNDS
 FOR IHE CUT-OFF
Liberal Subscriptions by Phoenix
 Business Men.

A force of men and teams, with camp supplies and tools, was started to the Arizona head yesterday by Su- perintendent Dan McDermott who wib have charge of the digging of the cut for the extension of the Arizona canal. It is expected that more men and teams will be sent out today. Engineer Parish will also go up to the head to- day, look over the situation at Granite reef where the boring party is at work and continuing to the sit" of the pro posed cut will give such suggestions as are needed for the commencement of operations.
 In the meantime the committee charged with securing funds here in town is taking hold of it's work with q will The committee consists of Wa. . ter Bennett, J. w. Doris. H. w. Ham ilton of Glendale and Frank AIkire. All of them are land owners so their con tributions are previously listed with the list of the association. But to u- lUsrrate that they are not backward in bearing their portion of the burden it should be remarked that their aggre- gate subscriptions in cash and sign ad lands amounts to over $500. YeSter- day the committee made a partial can Vass of the city and nearly all the business men they approached contri- buted generously. All gave them a hearty welcome and wished them suc- cess and some even went so far as 70 invite them to return if they were un- able to make up the required amount among the other merchants and busi- ness men. They will make another canvass today calling on other citizens and they hope to be as cordially re- ceived. Some few demur on the ground that the enterprise is to bene- ft the farmers the most and think they ought to put up the money. The farm CTS are perfectly willing but all must realize that they have had a hard time of it for some years and there are some who would be more than happy to contribute and get the water but cannot for the very good and substan- tiaI reason that they have been drain

But all the farmers should sign up who can. In the meantime the committee will keep hammering away at the town people for all it can get for it will take between $2O,OOO and $25,O to build the cut and distribute the water dur ing the summer.

OF BANK

time, made temporary bond, was placed

time limit on this bond expired yesterday
and Mr.. DuBose having failed to file a

ARGUMENTS MADE IN
LOOKOUT IRON CASE
JUDGE JONES HEARS ATTORNEYS
ARGUE IN MATTER OF ALLOW
ING BANKS TO CLOSE OUT
FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS.

The Lookout Mountain Iron company
case was up before Judge Jones in the
United States court again yesterday on
the order issued ten days ago by the
Judge restraining certain banks, holding
1851 600 of first mortgage bonds as collat-
eral security for debts amounting to $2IO,-
600 from closing out those bonds under
collateral contract. The arguments were
made by John W. Tomlinson, Walker
Percy, A. G. Smith, John /. Chisolm and
e. II. Cabaniss of the local bar, and Mr.
Stevens of Cincinnati.
The petition upon which the restraining
order was granted states that the indebt-
edness of said company consists OF forty
nine first mortgage bonds sold outright
sd9. 600; notes to banks, secured by Sol
bonds, $4,000; second mortgage bonds,
s1Sl, COO; unsecured debts, $4,000; making
total of 100000.
1t is claimed in the petition that If the
first mortgage bonds held by the banks
are sold, it would increase the indebted
ness of said company, making $1,000 more,
which would be act of oppression on
the other creditors; 1t is further claimed,
that as matters now stand, the property
probably can be sold for enough to pay
the bonded indebtedness and secured debts,
giving the unsecured creditors consider
able percentage of their indebtedness. but
If said bonds are sold and become lieu
upon the property, 1t will merely inJure
and Cypress the unsecured creditors.
1t was claimed in the argument that the
court had jurisdiction of the property Sc
curing said bonds and should prevent a
lien being increased said property to
the detriment of the unsecured creditors,
when the security of the creditors would
not in any way be injured by being re-
strained.
Notices have been given of the further
hearing of the above matter at 3 o'clock
Monday court will be asked to fix date
for the hearing of the bankruptcy proceed
ings on the merits, and also fix time
for the hearing of the equity cases in
which a receiver was originally appointed.

BREWER WILL BUILD

Purchases Block of Property on the
Southside on Which TO Locate
the Industry.

W. p Brewer. who is engaged in the
paint, glass and sash business at 17O7
First avenue, has recently purchased the
block lying between Avenue c and Ave-

the purpose of constructing a cement
block plant, which will occupy most of the
square, the remainder to be used for
lumber yard.
As soon as arrangements can be made
for a Louisville and Nashville switch into
the property 1t is said, work on the plant
will be begun. There are to be five block
machines, with an aggregate capacity of
over 600 blocks per day.
Mr. Brewer has a firm faith in the flu
ture of cement believing that in time it
will practically altogether take the place
because of its durability in the first place.
