C. ga. Man Says Conditions Are Better

Chester A. Congdon, of Duluth,
Mimi, the well known capitalist and
mining man who is prominent in the
directorate of the Calumet & Arizona
company and other corporations, ar
rived in Bisbee. Mr.. Congdon came
here on visit to the Chcmung Cop
per company's property in the
Tyrone district, near Silver City, N
NJ, which he reports to be in excel
lent condition.
When seen by a Review representa-
tive at the hotel and asked concern
ing the financial outlook in the north
and east, Mr.. Congdon stated that he
thought conditions were not as bad
as reported in the various news
papers of the leading cities. That
the public at large is now more care
full in its investments and credit is
not so easily secured as several
months ago. is due to the carefulness
now uppermost in the conducting of
all manner of business.
In his part of the country the
financial condition is far better than
for some time. The farmers of the
states of Wisconsin, Minnesota and
the Dakotas all had bumper crops
and received big prices for their pre-
ducts. This part of the north is in
far better condition than the other
sections, and in his opinion. the dis
trict west of Pennsylvania is in much
better condition than the New Eng
land states.
Bisbee, stated Mr.. Congdon, is in
better condition than many cities in
the north and east, and the citizens
should not be in the least nervous re-
garding the outcome of the present
conditions. Since his last visit in
October, he has noticed many new
changes in. Bisbee and the district,
the street car line Icing his first sui
iect to mention. The mines of II e
district have never before been in
such d healthy condition, and the

Will Construct Aio District Railroad

The formal articles of incorpora-
ton of the Ajo Valley Railroad
company were presented to Recorder
5hibell, of Tucson, for filing.
This company was formed several
weeks ago to build a railroad from
rheba, which is a short distance west
Of ella Bend, to Ajo where several
big companies have mining proper
ties.
The articles of Incorporation state
that the capital stock of the COM
pany shall be S3,OOO,00O. The princi-
pal owners in the company are Jones
and Mehan, who are millionaire con-
tractors in Boston:
They became interested in the
railroad project through members of
the Rendell Reduction company who
are m linly Boston people and who
own the old Ajo mine in the Ajo dis
trict.
The preliminary surveys for the
railroad have been completed by F.
A. Bordwell, of Tucson, who has just
returned from this work. Mr.. Bord-
we'll with a party had been engaged
in this work for several weeks.

The following is the call of the re-
publican executive committee issued
at Tucson last week for the republi-
can territorial convention for the

In accordance with the call of the
republican national committee, ter
ritorial republican delegate conven-
ton is hereby called to meet at Tue

1908, at Y o'clock, noon, for the pur-
pose of electing two ~ delegates and
two ~ alternates to the republican

All republicans of the territory, ir-

BlckneII Will Consolidate Two Positions.

On the first of April, there will
take place the most important change
in the matter of railroad officials for
several years, so far as local history
is concerned. For some time rumors
have been quietly in circulation
throughout the city but nothing
definite was able to be learned in
refence to it until the past few days.
On the first day of April, E. G.
Humphrey, the genial and popular
district freight and passenger agent
of the Southern Pacific, who has
been in charge of the division since
April, 1905, will retire from that
place and the office abolished.
On the same day, the appointment
of M. o. Bicknell, general freight
and passenger agent of the Randolph
system, with Offices in this city, to
the position of assistant general
freight and passenger agent of the
Southern Pacific, will be gazetted
and become effective.
The offices of the district organiza-
ton in the Santa Rita will be closed
and there will be established at the
Espee depot in Tucson a general
office, which will be in charge of
Messrs. Savage and De Pass, who are
now respectively the ticket and
freight clerks at the Humphrey Offices.
Mr.. Humphrey will not retire from
the service of the Southern Pacific,
but will be transferred to a position
in the California service of the road
with equal rank and perquisites.
The change is made, according to
1.-The general understanding, because
of the following out of a new policy

Practically all his railroad life has
been spent with the Randolph lines
and his rise therein has been notice

with Col. Randolph, but the offices

Prof. Il. A. Howell. Havana, Cuba
Recommends Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy.

GAS long ago as I can remember my
mother was a faithful user and friend
OF Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. but
never in my life have l realized its
true value until now" writes Prof.
H. A. Howell, of HOwell's American
School, Havana, Cuba. "One night
our baby was taken sick with severe
cold, the next was worse and the fol-
lowing night his condition was des-
perate. He could not lie down and it
was necessary to have him in the
arms every moment. Even then his
breathing was difficult 1 did not
think he would live until morning.
At last 1 thought of my mothers
remedy, Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, which we gave, and it af-
forded prompt relief, and in three
days had fully recovered. Under the
circumstances would not hesitate
moment in saying that Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, and that only. saved
the life of our dear little boy" For

Cost of Living at Tucson Will be Re-
duced Thirty Per Cent.

The Star is able to state positively
that an arrangement has been made
whereby the big packing houses have
entirely closed negotiations with the
small merchants of Tucson and the
best products of the packing houses
will hereafter be on the local market
at price less than that which has
heretofore been charged for other
than the leading brands.
The retailers of the city have been
making extensive purchases of goods
from houses at Benson, Los Angeles
and elsewhere which have represent
ed d net decrease in the Wholesale
cost of more than 30 per cent. and as
soon as these orders arrive, shipments
added, the price OF living in Tucson
will be materially decreased.
The freight rate to Globe, for in
stance, is So cents higher on the
hundred than it is to Tucson from
the great market center. Yet
groceries haYe been higher here than
in Globe. The reason is found in an
instance like this: Canned fruit is
quoted at So at the producers. 1t has
been sold here by the jobber for 81. lC
and then the small merchant has sold
it out at s.. In other words the job
Der has been making a profit of 81 II
while the merchant who sold it car
by can, instead of by wholesale, haC
only 80 cent profit.
The competition of the foreign
houses has forced down wholesale
prices here and means that the in
Justice which has hitherto been done
this city by forcing it into the posi-
ton of being the highest priced towr
in the territory to live in, will be
done away with through the coming
to the rescue of foreign wholesaler
and through the determination o.
the packers to give their products tC
this city at reasonable prices.
That there are going to be really
big doings in the wholesale and retail
world of Tucson within the coming
week or ten days, and that these do
ings are going to materially affec
the price of every commodity which
the homekeepers of the city use in (
grocery and provision way, is the ne'
facts which leaked out through the
conversation of one or two of the
wholesale men-Tucson Star.

Farmers Want Uncle Sam to Set Out
Trees.

Yuma valley farmers are consider
ing a plan whereby the government
will take control of the land outside
of the Colorado Ievee and place it
under utility trees such as cotton
wood, eucalypti and mesquite for
future good, oil and honey. This
land, says the Yuma Examiner, will
be worthless, except for forests; only
the government would be in posi-
ton to handle such a proposition.
The cutting of the trees and the
clearing of land makes it imperative
that some such step be taken.
Probably no industry will suffer
more from the general land clearing
than that of honey. Bees are among
Yuma valleys best money makers
and the best valley honey-is from the
mesquite trees. Yuma valley gets
three crops of honey annually. The
first robbing is from willow, the sec
ond from arrow weed and the third
from mesquite. The nearest ap-
proach'in clearness and sweetness to
mesquite honey is that distilled from
the wild white clover of the east and
south.
OF course, there will never come a
time when the bees cannot get suf-
icient honey from the banks of the
Colorado and the mesas to enrich
their hives with saccharine treasure,
but the richest yield is lessened by
every mesquite destroyed. Okla
homa and Texas have standing or
lers for more honey than the Yuma
valley now produces.
