NEW FORTY FOOT ROADWAY nOW
 IN SIGHT
Trip Of CounciImen and Citi- zenS Up Tombstone Canyon Productive of Much Good In Simplifying Matters.

The trip of the committee of the city council together with a committee of citizens from that section of the city up Tombstone Canyon yesterday afternoon for the purpose of disposing of many preliminary details connected with the construction of forty-foot roadway to the westerly limits of Bis bee was productive of good in deter mining to some extent the course along which the highway will be con strueted.
 Yesterday afternoon the council committee consisting of Shattuck, Morris, Hughes and Haines, together with a number of citizens residing in Tombstone Canyon left the city hall in a stage in accordance with ar engagements made at the last meeting of the council for the purpose of find ing out what would be the most fea- sible route for the road as well as what difficulties would have to be overcome
 The party interviewed many of the property owners along the route ob- taining their opinions in regard to the matter of damages and in almost every instance found that the prop erty holders were anxious to help out the project in every possible manner, believing that t will not only be of great beriefit to Bisbee as a whole
 but to that. section of the city in ! particular.
 The route which most probably will 1 be decided upon will be that goins ID Main street above the flood gate ' to Castle Rock, where t will cut into hank on the left side of the road continuing ont to Higgins Hill and l through the Jack Lumber yard, where | it will again fall in on the main high l way and follow it to the westerly l limits of the city
 | Where the largest amount of private | property will have to be taken is af ter the road again meets the highwa! above the lumber yard. From thi: | poinit it will be necessary to acquire
 a number of feet but it is thought tha | not the slightest trouble will ba eE perienced, as almost all of the prop erty holders have expressed their vii i lingness to help by giving a portiol
 of their property for which they VII be repaid in the construction and or
 eration of an electric car line.

Washington Senator Elkins OF
West Virginia has just completed and
filed in the senate his minority report
on the railroad rate law. II presents
a comprehensive history of the
economic development OF American
railroads, together with exhaustive
tables which tend to show constant

rate, and the relation between such
rates and the price of commodities
and cost of labor.
"The average passenger rate" says

1870 to 1880. During the next twenty
four years there was decline
amounting to 1885 per cent of the
average for 1880. The net decline
from 1870 to 1890 averaged 1914 per
cent. During the years from 1870 to
1904, the rate for the earlier year be.
ing about two and half times of the
latter and the net savings to the ship

transportation in 1904 was nearly two
billion dollars less than it would have
been had the rates for 1870 still pre-
vailed.
The passenger business OF 1904 ex-
ceeded that of 1890 by more than 25
per cent, while the freight rate was
1926 per cent. in comparison with the
Increase in wages of railroad en-

average employe accomplished %

passengers and "a per cent more In
the movement of freight than in 1880
The report gives the total railway
capitalization June 80, 1904, as $40,

The blizzard had subsided somewhat.
but the wind was still blowing a gale
and steep drifts of snow were on
every hand. Judge Freeman strug
gled aimlessly about all afternoon, his
aim being to get as far down the
mountain as possible before night
came on.
1t was late in the evening and he
was in a condition bordering on com.
plete exhaustion and despair when he
was seen by James DeMoss, a sheep
ranchman, who was in the mountains
looking for his flock. DeMoss says
that Judge Freeman was stalled in a
deep snowdrift when he found him
and that he undoubtedly would have
perished there had ne not been dis.
covered at that oppprtune moment.
Judge Freeman was placed upon Mr..
DeMoss' horse and conveyed to the
latter's ranch, where he was revived.

if they fail in that program they will
