The enormous prices to which New
York real estate has risen within the
last few years has been responsible for
many curious structures to take ad.
vantage of small or oddly shaped lots.
oi these the Flatiron Building is the
best known, Plans have Just been filed
with the Building Department. however
for the erection OF structure on what
Is classified in the permit application as
the smallest lot in Manhattan, which is
at the southeast corner OF Delaney and
Norfolk streets. This lot is 100 feet
deep and only two and half feet wide
As the space is hardly large enough ev-
en- for the compressed quarters of a
metropolitan fiat, the owner has deci-
ded TO crete on it huge brick wall,
thirty-fve feet high, foot thick. and
reinforced with buttresses TO make 1t
steady This novel structure will cost
S5,ooO, and will no doubt prove profita-
Bile as investments in New York real
estate usually are. The upper part of
the wall will be rented out for sign
boards. Below will be placed awnings
and the four feet of area way which the
city allows beneath them will be rented
out for bootblack and fruit stands and
selling booths of various kinds.

The sagging of the central span of the
Brooklyn Bridge q few days ago. which
resulted in tearing asunder one of the
big steel suspenders unfolding the road
way, gave rise to the usual series of
summer rumors to the effect that a dis

loaded with hundreds of electric cars
and thousands of passengers. As a

Arizonan May
 Enter the Cabinet

Within three months there is every likelihood that 8 man identified with Arizona will be in the Cabinet of President Roosevelt. From certain of the best sources of information in this territory concerning affairs at Wash ington The Tucson Citizen has learn ed that in all reasonable probability Francis J. Heney, formerly of Tucson, but now engaged in the prosecution of the San Francisco grafters, will succeed Cbas. J. Bonaparte as At torney General of the United States. Heney has been called to Washington on October l to confer with President Roosevelt. Unless the blowing of political strsws fail utterly to give the direction Of the wind he will be offered the position of Attorney General at that time. Men in this territory who have been in direct communication with men high ir authority at Wash ington have received word that the Presidents plans now contemplate the elimination of Bonaparte from the Roosevelt cabinet and the ushering oi Heney into It..
 The Citizen says that in circle, where tongues are wsgging most re- garding Heney it is stated that thu Presidents intense desire to prosecute E. H. Hartman and other magnstei and financial leaders is the stronges motive backing his desire to have tn Arizopsn in his cabinet. Heney is Democrat, bat he was just ss much Democrat when the President ap pointed him to prosecute the Oregol land fraud cases.

Mexican Killed in
 The Benson Yards

Saturday night in the yards at Ben. son a Mexican was run over by a switch engine and his body cut into three pieces. It is the general suppo- sItion in Benson that the man was under the influence of liquor and that he had fallen asleep upon one of the tracks.
 The track uron which he was killed was a siding some distance from the station and no one saw him laying there until he was run down. The engine which killed him was switching some freight csrs into posi. tion, and the train was almost on tor of the man before he was seen. The fellow evidently never knew what struck him, as not s sound escaped his lips when the pilot of the heavy engine struck his body. He wal thrown several feet and when he fel the engine passed over the body. whicl was cut into several pieces. A cor oner's jury was summoned to investi gate.

Black of Fort Defiance, has been exploring the Black Mountains of Arizona, is sgain in civilization and has some extensive stories to tell concerning wha. he saw in those unknown regions.
 Vogt investigated the conditions in the Navajo mission field. He reports that he has found many Indians in the interior who have never seen c white man.

The party feels much repaid for the trip and A neg interest in Navajo missionary work will result from the trip.
 The Indians who met the party in the Black Mountains had heard much Of the white men through their com- municatlons with more advanced Nav. sioes, and they met the party in 8 very friendly way.

Prohibition on the
 Southern Pacific

Not a bit of liquor can be sold or
 the dining cars of the Southern Pacific
 any more In this respect Arizons
 gets in the same class as Texas How ever, the cause of the prohibition in Arizona is that the county taxes amount to s30o for each train, which Is regarded for the entire year the same as any saloon whose tax has never been paid Prohibition in Ari- zona means no drinks between the boundary of Texas and the west boun- dary of Csliforpis.
 Notice has been served on the rail road company that they can serve liquor provided s regular saloon li- cense is paid. This license is s3O0 per year. The officers cannot see why any special privilege should be all lowed the railroad company.
 Just what action the railroad com. pany will finally take is awaited with interest. It is more than probable that they will make q fight, as the of of the sale of beverages which ordinarily go with diners vii educe revenue greatly
 With license of $500 per year re- luired for each train, and with three trans each way per day, the total in. come to each county through which he Southern Pacific travels will be |I,s2O.
 As the Southern Pacific passes through Cochise, Pima. Pinal, Mari ,opa and Yuma counties this means a otal license of S9,00N
