Reported That Hartman Lines Will Be Connected By a
 Branch Through City,

According to the following dispatch sent ont from San Francisco the Har- riman interests have not entirely given up the idea of building the line through Bisbee from Naco and on 10 Pearce, and thence to Durango, Colo rado:
 For the sake of both economy and efficiency, E. H. Hartman of the Southern Pacific is to consolidate into one company several small roads he and his associates own in Arizona, but which have not been put into the Southern Pacific system. Colonel Epes Randolph is nominally the di- recting head of these properties, but their active operation is in the hands of superintendents. The roads inyol- ved are the Phoenix and Eastern, be- tween Tempe and Winkleman. of nienty-six miles; Maricopa & Phoenix, including the branch to Mesa, a total Of forty-two miles; Gila Valley, Globe & Northern, between Bowie and Globe 125 miles; Arizona & Colorado, be- tween Pearce and Cochise, nineteen miles; Sonora Line, between Nogales and Guaymas, Mexico, 265 miles; Can anea. Yaqui River & Pacific, which is being built south from Guaymas to Guadalajara, about 750 miles, and with branch lines to Naeo and from Naeo to Nogales.
 The Sonora line connects at No gales with the Southern Pacific branch running to Benson, The division of the Cananea, Yaqui River & Pacific being built between Naco andn No gales along the international border, will be finished within nine months, it is stated.
 The other Arizona lines are al ready connected with the Southern Pacific, and their operation from one central headquarters is now said to be feasible.
 The Arizona and Colorado division is projected to~be built to Durango Colorado. Its propose route is by way of Bisbee, Peace, Cochise, Wilcox and through a corner Of New Mexico.

The FEEDING OF CATS

AS to the feeding Of cats, many and
varied opinions exist. / have tried
various methods. but for many years
now my own plan has been, more or
less, as follows:
Morning-Milk and milk foods, such
as corn flour made with boiling milk,
boiled bread and milk. or porridge.
Midday-Raw meat. put through a
mincing machine-the machine saves
much trouble.
Evening.-Boiled Gods head and rice,
and milk to drink. Any table scraps
are given in addition, and make a
variety. Boiled liver and bread are
also occasionally given.
Kittens and cats with young kittens
Nave two extra meals a day, usually
of corn flour or milk.
The cats eat as much food as they
like; it is then taken away, and not
left 20 stand about.
