to be admired for having the nerve TO

that his recent suggestion to the demo-

Live Stock Market.

KANSAS CITY, June Eth, 1907.- Cattle receipts were upwards of 10000 head this week, and con- sisted nearly altogether of killing grades of steers. Packers are still unable to buy COWS or heifers, and bid strong on steers again this week, market advancing 10 to 20 cents, on top of the big gain made last week. Independent buyers take all the desirable cows and heifers at pretty nearly steady prices, but the outlet for medium to common she stuff is limited and that class is 10 to 20 lower. Bulls are strong, and calves a quarter higher. Packers buy all stock or feeding steers that have any kill to them, but the trade from country buyers is small. Two trains of Arizona stock cattle sold this week, stock steers selling at $40 to S4.7O, stock heifers at $3.65 to $4.10, Texas grass steers at $3.75 to $4.70. Fed Colorado steers sold at $5.50 to $500, hei.ers up to $5.25, COWS $3.25 to $4.50, bulls $3.50 to $5.25, veal calves $500 to $6.75. Smaller receipts are antiei- pated next week.
 Larger supplies of sheep and lambs arrived this week than have been coming, and much heavier proportion was range offerings. Competition was keen every day, as the larger receipts seemed to benefit trade. Extraordinary prices were paid in all classes, and the general market is 20 to 30 cents above a week ago. Arizona range lambs sold at $9.00 to $9.3O, year lings, $7.l0, wethers $6.25, ewes $6.10, Texas muttons $6. 20 to $6.50, Texas ewes $5.S0, goats $4.S0. New record prices were established in every class this week, and the range lambs from Arizona at $9.O0 to $9.30 were said to be the highest priced lambs of that class ever sold in the United States.

The Bisbee Strike.
D' @A' INN ~ It l.. s. Correspondent.

The Press was mistaken about Organizer Cannon going to Den- yer last week. A score or more of young men have been in Benson this week each bearing certificates signed Jos. D. Cannon organizer, and Frank Brown sec retary, commenting them to all union men for refusing to work in the Bisbee mines after being brought from Denver, and expenses paid with the understanding that the strike was off. The men say there were 35 in the party who left Denver with Calumet & Arizona man, who paid their fare. Only three or four had ever mined but the c. X A. man said they could go right in and be taught mining, receiving full miners wages from the start-$4 for eight hour shifts. They were entertained in royal manner by the local union, and convinced that the strike was still on. so only three or four went to work, ore of the latter quitting after two shifts.-Benson Press.

Whole No. 735

nounced as Messrs. Cumming and O'Connor, with the mayor.
 Then, after considering another matter mentioned elsewhere, the council adjourned to meet at the call of the mayor.
The oasis., 1907-06-15

Monday afternoon Mayor Brick wood called a meeting of the town hoard, to be held at evening, to consider a letter received from MT. Alexander Field, Manager of the Pacific Board of Underwriters. The meeting was held at the office of Cumming x Mcintyre, and beside the mayor, members of the council and clerk, there were present a number of citizens.
 As soon as the meeting was called to order the clerk read the letter from Mir. Field, which reads as follows:
 THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CfTY COUNCIL, Nogales, A. T.
 GENTLEMEN -
 Having visited Nogales for the pur- pose of ascertaining such fire protection as is available for fire service, find that owing to difficulties between the City and the Water Company on ques- tions of franchise that the city is at this time without adequate fire protection to justify the credit allowed in formulating the existing rates for fire insurance.
 1 found all but two of the many hy- drants tested in the resident section of town entirely dry. The two hydrants connected developed such light pressure as to make them useless for fire protection. The pressure on mains in the mercantile district is p lbs. in- adequate.
 The Water Company states that owing to present conditions they will not im- prove the system nor will they give any assurance that water will be available for protection in the event of fire.
 The Insurance Companies through the Board Office having notified Nogales on several occasions by correspondence addressed to your Mayor and Council the serious condition of affairs due to the impaired water service feel that due consideration has been shown both the City and Water Company. This letter will therefore notify you that a report has been forwarded to the Insurance Companies advising that Nogales be regarded as an unprotected town and rated accordingly. The difference be- tween an unprotected town and existing rates in Nogales is 25% Many insurance companies willing to write insurance in protected towns will not venture in un- protected localities.
 Whenever the fire protection of your town is restored to its former efficiency upon which existing rates of insurance were passed notify the Board of Under writers of the Pacific at Los Angeles, to be submitted by them to the Insurance Companies for consideration.
 Yours truly,
 ALEXANDER FIELD,
 Manager District C. B. F. 4.
 After the communication had been read there was considerable talk Git can hardly be called discus sion) which became somewhat acrimonious at times. The pro- posed franchise that was to be grant ed the Nogales Water Company, under the contemplated manage, ment of q Mir. Mitchell, who was negotiating to buy the stock of the corporation, was taken up, and threshed over bit. As result of that the town attorney was in- structed to wire MT. Mitchell an inquiry in regard to his intentions Tn the matter.
 Then there arose the question of some sort of an arrangement with the Nogales Water Company under It's present management. It was stated by MT. Lulley that he under
The oasis., 1907-06-15

were passed. The mayor finally brought order by rebuking the editor for speaking out in meeting, and the incident closed at that time.
 Mayor Brickwood suggested that there be appointed committee to invite into conference a similar committee from the board of trade, to see if there may not be formu- lated some definite plan of action. A motion to that effect was made and adopted, and the mayor an nounced as such committee Messrs. Cummings, O'Connor and Lully, and by resolution the committee was instructed to report Tuesday evening, to which time the meeting adjourned.
 After adjournment. the lover a barrel" proposition was taken up again, and several took up the subject. To all of them the editor repeated his assertion f1atly. The town board has left the town with out fire protection until the Board of Underwriters has acted, and decreed a drastic raise in the cost of insurance. Those who pay in- surance have got to stand that raise, unless the town makes terms with the water company. The town must come to the water com pany's terms or pay the additional insurance. Doctor Doherty averred that he prefers being robbed by the insurance companies to being robbed by the water company. There may be in Nogales some whose preference goes the other way.
 Tuesday evening the council met again to receive the report of the joint committee provided at the meeting the preceding evening; and as soon as the roll had been called report was submitted and read.
 The substance of the report was that the council was recommended to tender the so-called Mitchell franchise to the water company. and invite the water company to send representative to confer with the council and submit the same franchise.
 Mayor Brickwood suggested that the water company might desire to suggest notifications in the so- called Mitchell franchise, and that it Is among the possibilities that the matter can be adjusted by an amicable effort to come to an agreement through candid discus sion of the proposed franchise. Mir. Lulley made suggestion that was identical with that of the mayor. To those suggestions Messrs. Peck and Doherty both demurred. They wanted the Mitchell franchise with out change, or nothing.
 Finally Judge O'Connor offered a motion that there be appointed a committee of three, the mayor to be one of that committee, to invite to conference with the council Mir. Ephraim, president of the water company, and that he pre- sent the council an application for granting to the company a franchise similar to the franchise adopted April 2d, (the Mitchell franchise) Messrs. Peck and Doherty both demurred to the word similar" :" The Mitchell franchise must go without alteration. So the obnox- ious word was stricken out, and
The oasis., 1907-06-15

accept the Mitchell franchise with some slight notifications. He did not think there would be any ben- eft in having an S-inch pipe con- meeting the reservoir on the hill with the street system, which is five inches only; and he objected to supplying 10000 gallons per month for street sprinkling, par ticularly in seasons of fdrouth, when the water supply may be over drawn for the ordinary necessities of the population.
 Doctor Doherty stated that he would not consent to the change of any detail in the Mitchell franchise. If the Nogales Water Company will accept that he will be as ready as any member of the council to put such franchise to a vote of the people. If the Water Company will not accept he will favor calling a bond election and establish a municipal system.
 Mir. Lulley thought that the time to talk about bonding the town for a municipal system has hardly arrived as yet.
 Mayor Brickwood called the at- tention of the council to the fact that the meeting had been called to consider a very serious proposi- ton, and that there was mo need of any four-fushing in the matter"
 Judge O'Connor resented the inn putation that he was "four-fush- ing" and spoke to that topic quite hotly. Whereupon the mayor in- formed him that no accusation of -four. flushing" had been leveled at him, but his honor reiterated that there was being done considerable 'four-h flushing" in the matter any how.
 Then councilman. Reddoch want ed to know why Mir. Ephraim was not present with a proposition, anyhow.
 Mayor Brickwood replied that no invitation had been extended Mir. Ephraim to attend the meet ing; however he had no doubt that had there been extended such an invitation Mir. Ephraim would have come.
 Someone expressed thought that an invitation should be ex- tended the Water Company to send a representative, or to Mir. Ephraim to do so. To that proposition Judge 0'Connor objected. If the Water Company desires franchise they should apply for one under the law, and the Judge favored going by the law strictly.
 Mayor Brickwood remarked that the meeting was not called to grant franchise to anyone, or to con slider granting franchise. It was called to consider the letter before them, and to discuss what measures may be necessary to save the rate payers and business men of Noga- les the raise ordered in rates of in- surance
 About this juncture THE OASIS editor, in passing a remark to a gentleman seated beside him, un- consciously spoke too loud, and immediately there was a scene, with several trying to talk at once. The remark was that "the Water Company appeared to have them over barrel" o. My But was there not indignation? Several gentlemen got very hot under the
