SIMILAR NUMBERS
 CONFUSE FIREMEN
Alarms Were Turned In On Both Sides of Town at the Same
 Instant.

A coincident which will not happen again in a hundred years and never has been known before, occurred yesterday morning in fire department circles.
 A fire alarm was turned in over the same telephone and at exactly the same time from houses of the same number except they were on different sides of town. That on the southside was No. 12l5 Nineteenth street. while that on the north was 1215 Twenty-ninth street.
 The similarity of the numbers led the firemen to believe they were the same calls, but for the sake of safety both runs were made and fires found at both ad- dresses. A three-room servant house was destroyed belonging to B. B. Martin on Twenty-ninth street. With 1t went two fine pointer dogs and setter valued at $500.

ORANGE CROP
IS BIG ONE
Shipments From Salt River
Valley Alone viii Reach High
Mark of ITO Cars In History
of Industry.

PHOENIX, Dec. blast week II
was thought that the valley orange
crop would not be more than seventy
five cars of navels. Now it is a GER
tainty that the crop will not fall under
eighty-fiye cars, and besides these
there VIII be at IeasI UwenIy-IISe Ca .
of other varieties besides nayels. The
entire crop win therefore be in the
neighborhood of 10 cars.
The prices per car this year are
averaging considerably above what
they did last year The first two or
three cars TO De shipped last season
brought enormous prices, but the fig
ure Immediately dropped This year
they have remained stable. Those
shipped to New York command the
highest prices and are selling at from
$3.50 to Sc per box, which means be-
tween $1,000 and $4,000 per car. Those
sent TO other points are not bringing
quite so much, but average $1,000 and
$1,000 per car.
Forty-fiye cars of navels have al
ready been shipped out, which is
slightly more than half the entire
crop. The rush at the packing house
is unabated. This morning at 10
o CLOCK Itteen wagons were nned up
at the door waiting to be unloaded.
Tonight there will be seven cars of
unpacked oranges in the house.
The oranges which have been snip
ped out have been sent to about TWEEN
ty-five different places. New York, of
course. has taken more than any other
one city.
News comes from Redlands and
other points in California that several
packing houses have closed down,
owing to the poor prices the fruit is
bringing. But the Arizona oranges
keep right on selling at fancy figures.
They are tAe best, and the people will
have them. TIE financial stringency
has forced down the price of the in
ferior product but it has had no e.
feet whatever upon the selling price
of the Arizona oranges.
