cuss, amiably, and throw down dol
lars on the bar till it sounded like a

There was about 1900 grown up
adults in Bird City thatshad arrived
at years of indiscretion, and the ma
iority of 'em required from three TO
20 drinks a day to make life endur-
able. The Blue Snake was the only
place where they could get 'em till
the food subsided. 1t was beautiful

About 10 o'clock the silver dol
lars dropping on the bar slowed down
to playing twostcps and marches in
stead of jigs. But | looked out the
windows and saw hundred or two Of
our customers standing in line at the
Bird City savings and loan company,

money to be sucked in by the clammy
tendrils of the octopus.

TIMBER THIEVES COMING ID
 GRIEF
After Having Cut Government Timber for Six Years, Cor poration Will Be Prosecuted By Federal Authorities,
Special to Review.)

PHOENIX, July 24.-The chances are that the Grand Canyon Lime & Cement company, which is doing bus mess in northern Arizona, has gotten it self into trouble and some of its officials may butt up against the doors of a very strong financial in- stitution or what is worse, come in sudden contact with the power of the federal government.
 Information has been lodged against this company charging it with cutting timber, such as cedar and pine, from surveyed public land and on land embracing the town of Nelson, located on the lines of Yay' apai and Mohave counties. Accord ing to the information lodged with United States District Attorney Alex ander, it seems that this company has been cutting government timber for the last six years and has re. moved probably thirty or forty thou sand cords of timber, shipping it in, to California or using it for its own purposes.
 Vigorous action will be taken by the United States district attorney and the case will be sifted to the very bottom and the offenders must face the consequences of their violations of law.
 The place of operation by the com pany is an out of the way place, re mote from travel and this accounts for the ability of the men to escape detection for six years.

 PHOENIX, July 24.-News comes in from Globe of bad condition existing there in labor circles. It is said that there are 4000 wOTkmen at Globe, and that out of that number there are 300 or 100 Americans who are not mem- bers of the Western Federation of Miners. The rest are all union men and foreigners, and last Saturday night they held a secret consultation to de- eide what action they would take, if any, concerning the non-union men. It was the general street talk yesterday that the union men would go on a strike and demand that the 400 Amer jeans be discharged, and union men given their places, but up this hour it has not been learned whether the union decided to order a strike to begin today or the middle of the week.
 That some trouble will come in Globe, however, seems to be a certain ty.
 The parties bringing this news also brings the news that on July there was labor demonstration and parade in Globe. It had reached the ears of the civil authorities that during the parade the paraders would carry red nag HIS lHlDTUldllOu was Se06Taftt bruited around the town and there was every prospect that riot would occur If the flag was exhibited. Hence, in order to prevent a riot. the labor lead CTS were notified that the must not ex- hibit a red flag. and that if they did. some swift action would be taken. De- spite this notice, while no red flag was carried in the parade, a red flag was put on a house. and the sheriff had to send men and have it pulled down.
 Some of these labor leaders" said man from Globe this morning" would stamp the American flag in to the ground. spit on it and hurl at it all kinds of insults. They are for eigners who know nothing about Amer ican institutions. and they are teach ing their children to hate our govern ment. In fact, more anarchists and desperate foreign characters have as sembled at Globe than any point in the west, and some day they are going to give the Americans trouble. In fact any little labor agitation is likely to bring it on. and the authorities are eX, pecting a clash any time, and we are prepared for it"

ELks ARE ENJOYING TRIP.

Judging from communications which have been received in the city since the local contingent of Elks left for the east to attend the grand lodge of the order. which was held at Phila- delphia, the trip has proved most en- joyable in every respect. The local EIks were members of the Quien Sabe delegation which carried of so many prizes in the grand parade. The crowd has now divided up, some go ing to the Jamestown Exposition, and others to various points of interest ir the eastern states. The latest com munication stated that 1t was doubt full whether James Letson would sai for Europe very soon.

are held by all banks from outside per- sons in different parts of the country. attracted by the rate of interest and 1t was apprehended that this money might suddenly be recalled. The banks have a great deal of money out in the ordinary way of business and just now by reason of the heavy payroll of the Southern Pacific amounting to con- siderably more than $1O0.O00 month the demand for money is more than usually urgent
 The payroll there is deposited in the form of New York drafts which on ac- count of the situation in the east are not immediately available for the local banks, though according to the Asso- ciated Press dispatches of Monday night New York will have plenty of money this week when the gold begins to arrive.
 The situation at Bisbee and Douglas is a little different. Though the banks have plenty of money for ordinary pur- poses, a great deal of it is out in the ordinary course of business. A consid- erable part of the deposits of those banks consists of the accounts of em- ployes of the mines and smelters where expenses are being curtailed.
 It was rumored yesterday that one of the banks at Globe had suspended payment but up to a late hour that had not been confirmed. It was known though that several days ago the banks there had adopted the "clearinghouse" plan for the same reason that it has been done at Bisbee and Douglas. A day or two later it was reported that one of the small banks whose business is largely with miners, had closed its doors but at that time it was not true.
 The situation at Bisbee. Douglas and Globe it is stated with confidence will be restored with the resumption of activity in the mines which will not be long delayed now that copper is on the upgrade again.
 As to Tucson there is no need or an improvement of any situation but the bankers are confident that within very few days the necessity for the precaution which has been taken. will have passed away.

PLAN
 IN SOUTHERN TOWNS
The Banks of Tucson, Bisbee and Douglas Place a Limit on Check Payments.

The banks of Tucson, Bisbee and Douglas yesterday adopted what has come to be called the clearinghouse system from uhe fact that the plan was recommended by the New York clearinghouse for the banks within that association. A telephone message received from Tucson last night said that the night before at a meeting of the bankers it was decided to restrict payments on checks to not more than $50 on any one check, the balance to be paid in cashiers checks. This step was not taken on account of the urgent necessity of it but as matter of pre- caution. The banks there are strong and there is plenty of money for all ordinary purposes. There is not the slightest uneasiness among the patrons of the banks and there have no threat ened runs.
 It is stated though that large sums

You probably know how hard it is to LOOK
pleasant and "be natural in front of photoe-
rapher's camera. Wouldn't this fact naturally
suggest that those who take snapshots of entire
social classes must be more hopeful than wise.
If they fancy that the pictures they get OF the
American Tramp. the American Workingman
and the American Millionaire look at ali ike
the types named in the titlese You might THINK
the photographers would have to take either a
composite picture of many members of the class
or else a huge picture of the group: as the
former would be nobody's likeness and the lat
ter most probably an excellent resemblance OF a
few persons nearest the camera and in clear
focus you would surely set small value on
either photograph. But II upon these retiec-
tions you deride IN advance the efforts OF the
social portrait artist you will have forgotten
