AN AUTO ACCIDENT
 THAT WAS PECULIAR
Got Mixed Up With Horse and
 Buggy at Douglas,

An automobile accident Of the kind that happens only once In thousand years took place at Douglas on Sun-, day night, and beside it's Sbeing most peculiar in its nature, came nearly damaging an excellent horse and smashing a buggy.
 A horse and buggy belonging to Jesse Fisher was hitcher in front of the Fisher Bros market, when an au- tomobile came dashing around the cor ner of F avenue and turned down to- ward G avenue with a great swerve to- ward the horse and buggy. The horse in some way had cramped the buggy in such a manner that the rear out side wheel pointed out, while the out side front wheel pinned in toward the sidewalk. There was thus quite a space between the tires of these two out. side wheels. The automobile was said to have been coming at about twenty miles an hour by two men who saw the accident, one of whom owns a ma. chine himself The machine came straight at the rig. The left front wheel of the auto went inside as if to lock with the front wheel of the buggy, but instead of locking, when the axle of the machine struck the big buggy

NO DULL TIMES IN WARREN DISTRICT.

Some complaint is heard of dull times in Bisbee. Things are not as brisk as they were year or six months ago, This is the comment occasionally heard It may be true. But the Bisbeeite. if he will consider for a minute, can not help but ap- preciate how much better conditions are in Bisbee than they are in every other town and city in the Southwest.
 There has been little or no curtail- ment of work in Bisbee. The mines are running steadily. The miners are working seven days a week. Few reductions have been made in the forces of employees by the several companies operating in the Warren district . In reality, things are prospering in Bisbee. Word comes from Butte, Montana, that there is positive de. pression there. Various camps in the west are experiencing the same slowing down. Back east mines and manufacturing plants have either

 Bisbee is be- yond the stage of the mining camp. It has put on city airs The glam.ou of camp life has been eliminated. The city is headed on the straight and broad trail for rapid and permanent growth. Its citizens and public bodies are imbued with indomitable energy and a public spirit that will keep it in the van as the leading city of Arizona, the hub oi mining activity in the Southwest.

During the last week a contemplat- ed industrial enterprise in this sec tion has reached the public attention, which means much for southern Co chise county. We refer to the filing of articles of incorporation of an cleo trict car company the purpose of which. as stated, is to build an cleo trict car line from Bisbee to Doug las. This company has been formed by men well known in this section as having large interests in both Bis bee and Douglas and who have all ways been prominent in everything proposed for the progress of these wo cities. They are men of action and are a guarantee that the electric car company is not an enterprise on paper. Surveyors are already on the route for this proposed car line, mak- ing the preliminary survey and this fact is significant in pointing to an early beginning of construction on the line. This enterprise has often been pointed to by this paper as one of the features of the progress of the Warren mining district The local successes of the electric lines in both Bisbee and Douglas are sufficient to remove all doubt of the success of the proposed Bisbet-Douglas interur- ban line and we confidently expect to see the enterprise go forward to success and become a profitable in- yestment, as well as a great conven- fence to the transaction of business in this district In the future we ex- pect to not only see the electric car line operating between Bisbee and Douglas, but expect to see such line connecting the three great cities Bisbee, Douglas and Cananea.

WOOD PULP.

It is said that the republican eau GUS Of house members to be held next Tuesday may take up the question of repeating the duty on wood pulp as well as the emergency currency ques- tion. The bill to repeal the duty is in the possession of the committee on ways and means, and Chairman Payne is resolved that it shall stay there. So it will unless the caucus shall determine that it should be passed at this session. There seems to be no other way of making the chairman loosen his grip, says the Chicago Tribune.
 The duty on wood pulp has come to be so indefensible that there is no moral doubt that it will be swept away when the tariff is revised. Prob ably congress will be engaged in that work year from now. As the duty is bound to go, there Is no good req son why it's repeal should be delayed 3 year. Delay would gratify hand posed to touching a hair of the head of the present tariff law until there shall be a general revision. but that is not a good reason for nonaction.
 The singular statement was made recently that the repeal of the dUey- on wood pulp would hasten the de mutation of the American forests. This was based on the assumption that if the duty were removed Cana da would impose an export duty on pulp made in the dominion, and thus American manufacturers of paper would be forced to seek their pulp wholly in American forests.
 It is possible that if the duty were repealed Canada would impose such duty. It is the avowed policy of the government to encourage as far as possible the utilization of wood pulp at home. It would rather ex- port paper than pulp. But Canada is not the only country that sends wood pulp to the United States. Of the $8,OOO,OOO worth of wood pulp import ed last year in spite of the duty, s3, ,SG0. 900 worth came from British North America The remainder came from Norway, Germany and other parts of Europe. z.
 If the American duty were taken of and a Canadian export tax i'm posed, European countries which now send wood pulp here naturally would

LOOKING AHEAD CONFIDENTLY.

For six months past the people of this country, and all who are con cerned in their financial standing and prospects, have been closely scrutiniz- ing business conditions. If anything is seriously wrong in the United States it has not been located by any of the critics. at home or abroad, who would be quick to point out weak spot and enlarge its dangers. In Europe the recent American furry is not compre- hended. No more has it been clearly fathomed at home. A leading finan- cial publication in London remarks that "The progress of the United States has been due to the confidence of every one in the future of the coun- try, and of its ability to maintain in comfort vast population, anu .o em- ploy proftably all the capital it, could obtain both from the American people and from other countries" Balances. of all sorts are habitually in favor of the United States It is so in foreign commerce. We receive the largest immigration, while there is scarcely any movement of our citizens to set tie elsewhere. We sell to the world a large surplus to meet it's necessi. ties. Money flows in because it com mands here the best return. Our na, tional credit is unmatched in other nations, or in history. In trying to account for the furry some can get no farther than to say: Too much prosperity"
 7 There is a-feeling that an era of extravaganza. inflated credit and ex- cessive luxury is a forerunner of trou- ble, and 8. conservative class will be gin to take in sail when they notice symptoms of this nature. A pruden- driver looks to his brake as well as to the mettle of his team. But the basis of confidence in this country to which the London writer refers is founded in permanent resources. Our farm products, minerals and manufac- lures are not things of day Aneri- can energy is continuous and our wis ible industrial opportunities areE with out limit Population increases quite as fast as could be wished, while wealth is augmented at a more rapid ratio, and trade still more swiftly. The
 temper of the nation is peaceful and
 fair-minded, but we are in a psoition
 to defend our own.

increase their shipments. Countries which now send no wood pulp here for one reason or another would be- gin sending it. Newfoundland, which is not part of the dominion of Can ada, has extensive forests which could be drawn upon for cheap wood pulp.
 The repeal of the duty on wood pulp would give American paper man ufacturers a cheaper raw material and check the rapid destruction of the American sources of supply. Conse- quently the duty should be repealed now instead of waiting year.
