time and the place--July 1st at Wash

ties to the conference. When we con-
vene there, I think we shall be able
to reach q conclusion that will &c sat

Hitchcock Not Eliminated.
Mr.. Hitchcock, Secretary Taft added,
was in Il state bordering. on nervous
collapse, and needed q good rest. The
official statement does not say that
Mr.. Hitchcock declined the chairman
ship, but that he declined to be con-
sidered for the position ION account Of
his health" It is believed, however,
that the proceedings Of to-day have
not eliminated Mr.. Hitchcock from
consideration, and that he undoubtedly
will be an important factor OF the
equation which will be reduced by the
confcrees when they meet on July LIST
in Washington.
AT the conclusion OF the conference
luncheon was served at the residence
of Charles p. Taft. Later the men,
hers of the committee were taken in
automobiles to the Cincinnati Country
Club where they spent the remainder
| OF the afternoon.
Secretary Taft remained quietly at
the residence of his brother, receiving
calls from friends. He will be tho
guest of Chales p. Taft until to-mor-
row afternoon. when he will leave for
! New Haven, Conn, to attend q meet

NEW HAVEN TRANSACTION.
New York Central Expected to Take Over N. Y., Ontario and Western.

New York July 26.-A railway trans action of importance having to do with New England interests centres in the future of the New York, ontario X Western railroad Is about to material ize. Control is now owned by the New Haven system. But the New York Cen tral holds an option from the New Ha- ven good for the rest of this year, whereby a majority of the Ontario stock can be taken over at something over $60 per share. This is figure ma terially higher than the present quota tion; but the ability of the New York Central to annex the Ontario would mean extraordinary accession of earn ing power, because of the Ontario X ! Westerns anthracite coal business = what that business could be, through a | New York Central connection, develop ed into. In high Wall street circles it is not doubted that the New York Cen tral option will be exercised one rath- CT persuasive argument is that an English syndicate is willing to pay a handsome premium to get control of the New York Centrals option. On tario & Western Is the one anthracite coal property which throughout the re- cent depression has been able to score continual net earnings increases; and the fact that one of the most important interests in the United States Steel cor. poration has lately acquired large in. terest in the stock lends color to the view that there are developments of ex. ceptional consequence close at hand.

A FOOD DRINK Which Brings Daily Enjoyment.
A lady doctor writes.

A lady doctor writes.
 Though busy hourly with my own affairs, I will not deny myself the pleasure of taking few minutes to tell of the enjoyment daily obtained from my morning cup of Postum. 1t is a food beverage, not a stimulant like coffee.
 II began to use Postum years ago, not because l wanted to, but because coffee, which I dearly loved, made my nights long weary periods to be dreaded and uniting me Cor business during the day.
 "On advice of friend, l first tried Postum, making 1t carefully as sug- gested on the package. AS l had al- ways used cream and no sugar, mixed my Postum so. It locked good, was clear and fragrant and 1t was q pleasure to see the cream color 1t as my Kentucky friend always wanted her coffee to look--1ike a new sad dle.'
 Then tasted 1t critically, and l was pleased, yes, satisfied with my Postum in taste and effect, and am yet, being constant user of 1t all these years,
 T continually assure my friends and acquaintances that they will like Postum in place of coffee, and receive benefit from It's use. l have gained weight can sleep and am not nerv- ous." There's a Reason. Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek Mich. Read "The Road to Melville, T In pkgs.

has been picking up. Our business ex- tends across the country, and we find pretty uniformly that merchants are placing orders. For the first time since last September our factories are now running full time, and we are extreme ly busy, as much so. in fact, as in real prosperity times
 r. R. Grelst, of the Grelst Manufac- turing company, was also much en- couraged by the prospect. He said:
 Business is certainly looking better The volume Is increasing slowly but steadily on the conservative plan ol each one ordering just a little more than he needs immediately. During the slack spell everybody ordered a little less than he thought he might need lh the immediate future and picked up the junk around the factory. We shall have to run five full days during the coming month and with more hands than in the last few months. That is a half day per week more time and with increased number of employees, so that 1t about equals full time in average years, but not quite the equal of rush seasons
 George E. Hudson, first vice-presi- dent of the Winchester Repeating Arms l company, sald Tt can be fairly said that the Winchester Repeating Arms company's business Is showing some improvement over that of the last six or nine months, although not norman for this season of the year. Nearly all of.our departments are running on full time and many of the old empoyes are returning to their accustomed work"
 Henry B. Sargent, head of the Sar- gnet & Co. plant, that employs about four hundred hands, said: "The farm CTS last year got big crop and indi- cations are again that they will get al- most as big crop But there are many other conditions that enter into pre- dictlon concerning business. However, If general indications affecting business prove correct there ought to be ma terial increase in the business of the country after the president election Walter Malley, of the Edward Malley company, merchants, said: 'I notice that this months business is decidedly an improvement over last month. And there is better feeling, better tone. to business generally. That is particularly true of the dry goods trade, and that is a good barometer of the countrys con- ditlon l have no doubt that business will continue to pick up. Of course it will not be as good this fall as a year ago because we never had such year as 1907. But 1t is pretty good even as 1t Is. Much of the talk about lack of prosperity, hard times and bad outlook has been and now Is unjustifled by facts. We Americans grumble If we are not going ahead fast all the time-we feel as If we ought to be forging ahead every month. No, l see no cause for Encouragement"
 Adolph Mendel, of Mendel X Fresd- man. merchants, said: "I find the bus mess of department stores improving, only slightly 1t Is true but a steady movement In the right direction. Best of all and most promising is the fact that the feeling in business is better, I am of opinion that this upward and onward turn will continue and gather strength"

This fact is, however, true, and will have its eco- homie effect on all busness-that we all learned during the crisis to do with less than before, learned to husband and economize and not to buy so ex- travagantly as before. Therefore those who drew their money out of savings banks In the lean period and spent it will strive to save and put 1t back, and those who ran into debt will try to pay up that debt before they spend as they used to spend in years of full prosperity. Such economies will have an effect on business; but we look for a safe prosperity"

 Frank H. Lyman of Phoenix was chairman of the convention and w A. Mcdonald Jr. of Mesa secretary.

Eia
 The following resolution was also passed unanimously.
 We commend our present delegatS in congress for his efforts in secur- ing a public building for the territory .of Arizona and for locating the same at Phoenix.
 At the conclusion of the convention, MT. O'Neil apteared before it and made ringing speech in which he pledged that, if he were defeated at Prescott for the nomination. he would bow to the will of the party, and loyally support the nominee for dele gate to congress.

THE TERRITORY RICHER
 MORE THAN s2,OOO,OOO
Abstract of County Assessment Rolls at Office of the
 Territorial Auditor,

Abstracts of the assessment rolls of the various counties have been re ceiVed at the office of the territorial auditor at Phoenix and show tota4 valuation of property for purposes oI taxation, of SSO,654 ,969.71, less empticns amounting to S7G4 .622. 10. The latter figure is an increase over the net valuation of last year of S2,- 57S,15l10. It is possible that correc- tions in the abstracts will show a net valuation for this year of over eighty million dollars, to say nothing of the raises that may be made by the territorial board of equalization
 The figures from the counties are as follows: Apache. $1,042 ,953.SS; Co chise, S19,5SS, ,S29.37; Coconino> S4,315,- 372S2; GiIa, S5,465, ,162yO1; Graham, SS,199, ,123.03; Maricopa, S14,254, ,755.53; i; Moiave. S1,619, ,09S.11; Navajo, ST. S44, ,S72.63; Pima, S7,230, ,446.02; Pinal, S2,479,415.37;: Santa Cruz, sI,7zI,- SS0.O5: Yavapai, $10,244, ,9S7.S0; Yu. ma, $2,639, ,072.O9.
 The abstracts do not show that there has been an ilcrease Of the val uation of any class of property, on the contrary, the mining assessments are a little lower than they were last year on account of the suspension of work for time in many of the mines. The increase is made up of the rapid but natural growth of wealth.
 Maricopa adds nearly a million 60 the increase of two and a half mil lions. There Is a decrease of a little more than a million in Cochise county. Yayapai shows an increase of more than half million and the increase b added to by nearly all of the smaller counties and most of the larger ones.
 Though Gila and Graham are mining countries the returns from both of them are larger than they were last year,
