Nativity.

Is Milk the Best Universal Standard
 of Exchange?

Few people have any conception of the part milk plays in the world. The figures of the department of agricul- ture show that the dairy products in America exceed in v5Jne the output of the steel trust in a given year In Am erica there is one COW to every five inhabitants; in Europe about the same. Today milk is reeeiyed in England from all over the wsld. some of it be- ing more than ten weeks en route and crossing the equator. Surely it is no longer a dream to speak of the new food, or predict that milk has been made a staple commodity which will be quoted on the produce exchange like any other food stuff Those who give deep thought to this rquestion product that in twenty-five years the number of cows in the world will be doubled. Economists say wheat is a more staple monetary standard than gold; perhaps our children may live to see milk the universal standard of eXchange.-A. C. Robinson in the Outing Magazine for July.

THE NOBLE LITIGATION
 ABOUT 10 BE REOPENED
Architect Albright Sues Noble and Lien Holders to Secure His Lien.

Harrison Albright of Los Angeles, the architect of the Noble building, yesterday filed a suit in district court with the object of reopening the litigation concerning that struc- ture which was supposed to have ended with the approval of the re- port of the receiver concerning the sale of the building to Hugo Rich ards. the heaviest creditor.
 Mir. Albright claims that there IS due him for services which were completed on February 2S of this year, the sum of $7.500 and he asks for the enforcement of a lien for that amount and for an adjudica- tion: that all other claims against the property are subsequent and sub ordinate to his. The suit is directed against John Noble, Hugo Richards, the National Bank of Arizona, G. w. Binkley, G. D. Binkley, the Thomas Haverty company, Foulkes, Gaylord company, the Llewellyn Iron Works, A. Chaney and c. Leonhardt, the of the building.
 The defendants other than Noble and Richards are all lienholders but the claims of some of them it is understood, are subsequent to the claim of Richards. In the complaint the plaintiff states that his lien was filed within ninety days after the completion of the services she performed The contract between the plaintiff and Noble is made a part of the complaint.

BACK. FROM MEXICO

A Tempe Man Likes Arizona Better
 Than Anything Else He Saw.

A. F. Beiiany returned yesterday morning after a twenty days absence in different pats of Old Mexico. He was rconpanied,, by his wife and daughter but they did mot return with him, having gone to Texas where they will spend the summer with relatives.
 Mir. Bellamy says that Mexico may be all right for, those who like it but so far as he is concerned personally, Arizona suits him just a little better. Enough so. at ant: rate. that he made no investments. while away. George Nichols also made the trip and has not yet retur5ied. He Left Mir Beilamy at Guaduiarajara and made q visit to Tepico-- He was more impressed with the outlook than was Mir. Bellamy and it is possible that before his return, he will take'a chance at some of the offered.
 The trip was most enjoyable one, says MT. Bellamp. He spent a week in the city Of Mexico, another week at Guadulajara and visited many points of interest at different places The cli- mate he adds is the finest it has ever been his pleasure to experience. It was just comfortable coool with q coat on all times. -.

MANY WIRES CROSSED BY WfDNFSDAY'S STORM
The Wind Caused Some inconvenience At the Local Telephone Office.

The windstorm of Tuesday and Wednesday last, caused some trouble with the telephone line here through the crossing of wires and kept the local operator busily engaged in strengthening out the tangles caused by three or four getting in on the same line. The principal trouble was experienced on the toll lines between Mesa and Tempe. and from Mesa to Phoenix.
 For a portion of the day yesterday. it was with some difficulty that busi- ness was transacted over the long dis tance line. A number of cottonwoods in the country districts near Mesa were stripped of a portion of their branches.
 Everyone here, with perhaps the ex- ception of the cantaloupe growers. are anxious for rain. which would probably lower the temperature sev eral degrees.

2 An accident. of rather a serious na- ture occurred early yesterday morning at the Pacific Creamery plant. The night fireman, J. L.

It seems that dnring the early morning. the fire went down and a quantity of gas accumulat- ed. The fireman was standing in front of the fire box door when he turned on more ioil and, the gas ignited and lexplbded.' throwing the door open in his face and shooting out a flame that alnlbst envelOped him.

The board. however. declined to make any recom- mendations regarding the proposed or dinance granting a franchise, as that feature of the matter comes under the jurisdiction of the council.

THE RUM0R VERIFIED
 DEPOT 10 BE MOVED
1t is Expected That Work Will Be Commenced Next Week-No More Guess Work About Trains.

At last a certain rumor that has current hereabouts for a month and more has been verified. It is in regard to the moving of the P. & E.. depot to the proposed location of the new union depot It will be remembered that plans were being perfected for this move months ago but the move was never made for the reason that practically all railroad work came to a stop with the financial panic. A short time ago a rumor came to light that the depot was to be moved at once. Investigation at that time, however, proved that it was merely rumor and the matter was not verified. However, some additional light was shed yesterday that makes. it evident beyond a doubt that the depot is to be moved in a very short time. There never has been any doubt but that it would be moved some day for it is a dead loss to the railroad company where it now stands. Yes
 terday Superintendent Scott was here from his headquarters in Phoenix and instructed the local agent to prepare his office work and office praphernalia so that it might be moved on short Tb- tice. ~
 From information gathered at the To- cal office yesterday it is expected that H. J. RObichaux, foreman of the Bridge and Building crew. will commence work on moving the structure early next week. probably Monday or Tues day. It is planned to jack the building up above the level of flat cars. run the cars under it and by this means move it to it's new location. When placed on the new site, the depot will bear the same relation to the main line of the NJ. & P. that it now does t6-'tffe P. & E., that is. the main entrance will be on the main line side while there will be a side entrance on the P x E. side. What is now the east end of the depot will be the south end for the building will be taken over the and turned around. It is expected that the actual moving of the structure will not require more than a couple of days but it will be some time after that he15 fore the office will be established there
