SALT RIVER VALLEY
 PLEASED WITH NEW RATES
NFrom Sundays DnllNl

Speaking of the recent conference tiv"s of the Santa Fc. F. and F., and southern Pacific railroad and members of the Phoenix Commercial Club, at which time the matter of reduced freight rates to various places in the territory on Salt River valley pro duets was thoroughly discussed, Paul r. Hastings, general passenger and freight agent for the x. F., r. and F., stated that the roads had granted concessions on number of articles which would give to the valley residents the whole of the Territory as their market, and would enable them to compete with shippers in any localiiy outside of Ari. Zona.
 "As far as rates from the Salt River valley to Prescott and surrounding towns are conrcrncd.' said Mir. Hast. ings to Journal Miner representative, "thcrc will be no change. The Phoe. nix people did not ask reduction in the Prescott rate, it being sufficiently low at present to permit of n fair earn. ing on the haul for the railroad. and at the same time allowing the Salt River valley producers to ship their products here much cheaper than could any out side producers.
 "Thc main contention of the Phoc. mi z. Al products to points in the Territory, principally on the main line of the Santa fe, which would give them the markets. as compared with outside com. petitors Reductions were made. to these points on the Santa Fo main line. and to points on the Southern Pacific, which will allow the Phoenix shippers to compete vita California or New Mexico shippers.
 "You can readily see that it would always he to the advantage of a rail. road line to move on as much freight from any given locality as that local. ity could produce, and when the Salt hiVer valley residents assured the rail roads that they would have bumper crops this season, and would therefore have large volume of products to be moved, the railroad representatives were only too ready to make them any freight rates within reason.
 "Tne Phoenix Commercial Club mem. bers and business men seem well satis fled with the lower rates promised, and the railroads, as I said before, are glad to have been able to made reduction in the rates"

BACHELOR BEN NARROWED BY
 BABY
uFrom Tuesdays Daily

Dupcd by young woman, who gave her thrce.day old infant into ais care for few minutes. and then disap. pcared, Ben Silverman. well known business man of Prescott. had troubles of his own, while visiting in san Francisco during the stay there of the fleet. lt is serious business for a father to have the care of very young baby in the crowded streets oi a big city, but for n bachelor to bounce strangers infant uP and down. while the mother, who aban dons it. makes a nasty retreat to parts unknown. means even greater trouble.
 Silvcrman' adventure reads like a romans from one of Laura Jean I.ib- hy's popular novels. The victim of the woman's deception. since his re turn. has been extremely roticcnt in telling of his trip to the northwest and especially hesitant in relating his cx- pcriences with the baby.
 The scene of Silvcrman E adventure took place in the ferry depot at Oak land. He had been visiting in Berke. ley during the day and had boarded the Overland Southern Pacific train there Ia the ferry. Shortly after talk ing his seat in the ear, Silvcrman at tcntion was drawn to very handsome young woman apparently not more than i7 years of age. In her arms she held baby and from time to time she played with the infant by way of anus. ing him. On the floor within her see. ton, Silvcrman noticed two large satch- els and on the upholstered seat la, ncr handbag
 Attracted by the unusual beauty of the young mother and the fact that she was travelling alone with baby, Silvcrman, when the ferry depot was reached, voluntarily offered to aid by carrying the grip and suitcase for her from the ear. With grateful thanks, charmingly expressed, the young wo' man accepted Silverman' help and with her baby followed him into the depot.
 ON the train, the young woman sud denly remembered that she had left her purse on the seat in the ear. She asked Silverman to hold her child m

Al tbc end of the hour, The infant tired of S',crmnn'- inexperienced care and gave testimony to thc fact by crying with pair of "Ucptionally strong lung,
 Patience ceased to bc numbered among Siycrmau virtues from that moment and nc promptly called to a DO ice officer for first aid io the fearful.
 "I'vc got something here, ,ouch ,lfcd Silvcman
 "'I should say vou have" comment cd thc policeman.
 "Gucss we'd better turn in q fire alarm, suggested Silv"rman with a decidedly worried expression.
 Upon notification. the foundling a-y lum sent wagon, two nurses and scN- cral attendants to the depot to assume charge of the baby. In the meanwhile Silvcrman and the officer examined the two suitcases and therein found va. ricty of finely wrought infants cloth ing The materials were of the finest texture and clearly evidenced that tho | child's home should have been one of | refinement and wealth. There were no marks of Identification and every clew to the little ones identity and that of ! the mother also had been removed. Careful search of the train and de pot failed to reveal any trace of the young mother and later developments | proved clearly that she mad intention ally abandoned her baby to the care of strangers. Mir. Silycrman is quietly he moaning the fact that he also had to ! leave the infant to the care of the foundling authorities. but then. being a respectable bachelor, he says h, could do nothing else.
