COCHRAN ON TAFT

There is a remarkable unanimity o
opinion of Judge Taft in all parties
and in all sections. Men pay tribute
to his remarkable ability even where
party politics may exert such an in
fluence as to demand the espousing
of the rival presidential candidate s
cause. As an illustration w. Bourke
Cochran in an interview at Boston
the other day said:
Yes. l shall support Bryan; he is
the best candidate the Democrats
could put up. Taft, however is the
greatest and best qualified nominee
ever offered in any Republic in the
world. He is a greater man than
Rouse' cit, and when surrounded by
the same environments that made
Roosevelt great will prove digger
man. Taft is wonderful administra
tor, the greatest the country has ever
seen and is a wonderful worker"

NEW ENTERPRISE
A Thirty Ton Ice Plant
Tor Lamar

We are glad to announce to the
public that Lamar is at last to have
a modern up-to-date thirty ton ice
plant. Eastern capitalists have a.
greed to furnish the money, and 1t
will be under the control and manage
ment Of Mr.. Ed. r. German as their
local manager, who will also be per-
sonally interested in the enterprise.
Their material is purchased and Mr..
German is now in the East looking
after the shipping and details OF the
enterprise. The resident citizens of
lamar will be able when this plant
is in operation to purchase their ice
at fifty cents hundred, and the stor
es who use large quantities will be
able to buy their ice at thirtyfive
cents a hundred. This means that
the people can use twice the amount
of ice that they have been using and
pay no more than they now pay. 1t
is such enterprises as these that the
town is in need of, and we are glad
to see them building up around our
town. The material for the plant
should begin to arrive here inside of
the next two weeks, SO that the plant
will be In operation some time in
November.

For the past year the authorities say
Ruiz has been stealing horses in and
around Tucson and taking them to So,

open market, Then just to make the
game interesting and to add little zest
to the affair, he would pick up few
horses in Mexico and bring them to

had been carrying on for year, and
that the officers knew about it, but

Stockholders of the Miami Copper
company and the holders of rights sub
seribed for $4,000 shares of stock, leav-
ing 1900 shares to be taken by che
underwriters.
The fact that the entire 100000 shares
was not taken by stockholders was due
to the fact that it was only last week
that the General Development company,
which holds 100000 shares of stock in
its treasury, voted to distribute the
rights on this stock among its stock
holders and as number of its stock
holders are now in Europe, and the
rights could not be extended, they ex-
pired in some instances without lie
