Parker, who was permanent chairman
OF the convention delivered an ad-

Sherman Attacked.
Not the least striking feature of
Judge Parker's address was a decla-
ration that James S. Sherman, the
companion of Mr.. Taft on tne repubIi-
can ticket, invaded Wall street for
political contributions in 1905. when
Mr.. Sherman was chairman of the con-
gressional committee.

 Copper was higher in the Enshsn market. The local market was firm; Lake s12.5O9 $12.75, electrolytic S12.37 1-2@ S12.62 1-2, casting $12.l5Gr 's125O. isls
 There was intermittent spotty strength in the stock market today, but it was not comparable to tho ls- Tesciye up-sweep of prices which oc- cured yesterday. The volume of the market has decidedly diminisheC also. The influence in the market was the continued stress laid on the report of a message from the presi- dent to be forthcoming shortly, which would favor permission to the railroad companies to advance freight charges as a measure of prevention against a threatened fall in rates of wages.
 Amalgamated copper enjoyed rle advantage of an advance in price of copper, both, in the local market and in London. Western Union suffered from its poor showing of quarterly earnings.

D, B. Hall Tells of Agricultural Possibilities In the Moun-

R. D. Hall came in from the Chiri- cahpas yesterday and reports that when he left early yesterday morning there was heavy fall of snow and il was still showing. Mir. Hall says the snow fall has been above the average this winter and the prospects for an abundance of water and an early vege- tation look fine He is enthusiastic on the Chiricahua country, where he is engaged in raising vegetables and garden truck.
 This year." said MT. Hall, q shall have over twenty acres under culti- vation in vegetables for the market and I am going to try berry raising, too. 1 have out now two hundred plants and will shortly set out three hundred more. ..
 With the soil we have in the Chir- icahuas and the perpetual running water any man with five acres under cultivation can make it bring him $5000 a year On one three-quarter acre tract of mine I have for three years earned over 5000. Take cab bages: One can. set in an acre 6200 plants, many of which will grow to a weight of thirty pounds. But say they only average ten pounds. We nave then 62.000 pounds to the acre, which at the low selling price of three cents a pound will produce revenue from that single acre of S1Se0. Yes, sir, the Chiricahua country is nearly per feet agriculturally, as well as beauti- ful to look at.

BLOOD CLOT ON BRAIN

BUSINESS MEN
 ARE FAVORABLE
 TO BOND ISSUE
Many Want To See Money Raised for Improvement of Streets, Extension of Sewer, and Fire Protection.

Judging from the sentiments ex- pressed during the past couple of days by prominent local business men and taxpayers in regard to the issuing of bonds to raise money for the improve ment of the city streets, to afford fire protection, and extend the sewerage system, there is little doubt that when the matter is placed before the people at an election it win receive an over whelmingly favorable Vote.
 Some time ago the idea occurred to Mayor Caven and members of the city council that the present taxpayers of Bisbee during the past couple of years have gone ahead and improved the city wonderfully, and, with the excep- tion of the sewerage system, these i'm provements have already been paid for. Because of the natural disadvant- ages of the city as a residence section there still remain a number of other important Improvements which it is necessary to make, and the members of the municipal government do not feel like asking the taxpayers to de- fray all of the expense on short no- tice. After thinking about these mat ters the idea of issuing bonds was hit upon.
 The city still has a number of high ways which are entitled to considera- ton, but because of a lack of funds they have not been placed in perman- ent condition; secondly, there is the matter of adequate fire protection, as it seems wonderful that the city has not been wiped out by flames long since; finally, there is the extension Of the sewer system, and a number of other matters requiring attention. In order to carry out all of these i'm provements it will require about S15Or OOc.
 The plan of those favoring the bond issue is, to make the securities pay, able during the course of the next twenty years. and thus distribute the burden of expense so that those who in the future will purchase property in the city will pay their proportion.
 During the past couple of days a Review man has questioned a number of prominent business men in regard to their opinions on the matter, and in every instance the man interviewed has been fayorably disposed.
 In addition to the new street rail way. sewerage system, and other i'm movements, it is probable that Bisbee in the not far distant future will be able to boast of elegant streets. '

CONTRACT IS
 PLACED BEFORE
 TAK,PAYERS
Many Have Already Signed Documents Pledging Big Ma iority of Cost of Making Sub way Permanent Structure.

City Attorney George Neale has been engaged during the past coupiS of days in bringing to the attentio of the owners of property abutting on the subway and lying on the south side of Main Street the contract which it is proposed. to have tlsem sign before the work of making the waterway permanent structure is commenced. Many have already signed the document.
 According to the terms of the con tract those who. own property abut- ting on the subway or lying on the south side Of Main street will have to pay proportionate share, accord ing to foot frontage, of 80 per cent of the total cost, which is estimated at $50.000. The remaining twenty per cent will be paid by the tax payers of the city at large.
 The council about ten days ago placed the contract in the hands of Neale with instructions to bring il to the attention of the persons con- cerned He has been doing so, and already the Copper Queen Mining Company, Fl Paso & Southwestern railroad company, Bank of Bisbee, ". H. Brophy, M J. Cunningham ah- Miners & Merchants Bank, by whom is owned a great majority of the front age, have signed up. Other merchants have also affixed their signatures.
 When seen last evening by a Re view man and asked for his opinion in regard to whether all would sign the contract or not MT. Neale said.
 T have only heard two different property owners express objections to signing, but I believe these objec- tions were offered before the parties had an opportunity to consider tne project from all points of view. l do not think there will be any objec- ton finally to the signing of the con tract and making permanent the subway.
 When one stops to consider what it means to the city at large and to the business section to have the waterway placed in good condition and its top turned into 9 business street the cost tot the individual seems trivial The putting of the sub way into good condition alone is an insurance or property against flood, and means the wiping out as far as the general public is concerned of one of the most disgusting places in tae city to look at or endeaYor to travel over Further than this it will do away with what has been breeding place for germs of ali kinds of dis eases. in the opinion Of the best physicians.
 The object now is to make of Bis bee modern city and the first thing to do is get rid of this menace to health and traffic"
