ROAD
 MEETS OPPOSITION
Homer B. Kings View of the Very
 Latest Trolley Project.

Underneath it all and concealed under the guise of purely local move ment, I see in this latest propaganda for a valley trolley line. the sly hand of General Sherman"
 This interesting statement was made yesterday by Homer B. King, of the Southwestern Realty company, who has just returned to Phoenix from Cal ifornia. MT. King referred to pro- ject, exploited somewhat in the news papers few days ago, for the building of a belt trolley line to run from the proposed extension of the Indian school line north to the canal and then west and south to connect with the Grand avenue line.
 Lest they forget" continued MT. King, "it might be we'll to remind the public that last spring a franchise to build road in this valley was granted by direct vote of the people, to George NJ Hahn. J. w. Doris, E. J. Bennitt, B. A Fowler and c. B. King. These men are vitally and financially inter ested in the future of this valley. They are going to build that road and it would seem to me that if there are rights of way to be signed up or money to be raised for the purpose of building road they should, at the least, be consulted in the matter.
 AS l understand 1t, the proposal is to assess the property along the route of the road so much per acre. I be- lieve $l0 an acre was suggested, and at that rate less than s100.000 would be raised. Then, when everyone has paid in and the road is constructed, or before, negotiations with the sherman interests are to be opened and the road presented to these interests on condi- ton that cars be run on it. It was also mentioned that the public would stand for a fifty cent rate on this road on account of it's scenic possibilities.
 With all due deference to the judg- ment of those who are promoting this road, I would like to ask how many quarter section owners in this valley would be willing to pay out $1,600 apiece in cold, cold, cash to aid In the construction of a road that is to be- come, as soon as finished, the property of the Sherman interests? I would also like to put the query, How many ranch owners or employees, living on the line of this road would be willing to pay a half dollar every time they wanted to come to the city? The an swer is double zero to both questions
 q will not believe 1t of the people of this valley. that they would rather raise a bonus for, and present rights of way to a nonresident, to one whose interest in the prosperity of the valley is nothing except so far as it affects the returns on his investment here, instead of reserving those rights of way or the bonus, if there is to be one, for the company of local men who have already been voted the franchise.
 The Interurban company has been working toward the completion of their plans and this fall, when the directors, of the company return to the city, the work will be pushed ahead and a mod ern railway with adequate service, will be built in this valley. It will have the additional advantage that it will run into the city and not connect with any lines already built"

PLEASE DIRECT NE
 ID \ CAFETER|A''

Please direct me to a cafeteria
 The interrogation came from a neatly attired little woman, evidently recent arrival from Los Angeles, and was asked of one of the promi- nent business men of the city, who has since been asking himself why such an eating establishment in this city wouldn't be d money mint
 A cafeteria is a typical American idea, and carries with it an air of in dependence. Everyone can do their own choosing. their own serving, and, in fact, do just as they like about eating. Another item that is never lost sight of by the working girl, or. in fact, anyone, and that is the cost item. A meal at cafeteria is cheap CT than at a regular cafe or restau- rant. The reduced labor and other features of the place bring about this result. A 25-cent meal at a cafeteria will cost double that amount at chop house or restaurant.
 The idea is a good one and would undoubtedly mean a huge patronage for the man who would take the initiative and start such a place in Phoenix. The cafeteria would not be a new wrinkle in Phoenix, most everyone having been introduced to it's virtues in Los Angeles. where the cafeterias are reducing the patronage of the restaurants and cafes.
 The cafeteria idea is to have the tables located in the middle of the establishment, separated from the patron by chains or railing, until he  rows of tables heaped with all man. ner of good things are presided over by girls attired in white caps and gowns who help the patron to his selection of the choice dishes. Upon filling his order, the patron passes the head waiter, who checks off the order, gives a slip and the hungry patron goes to vacant table and eats. his meal in the good old fash toned way, leaving everything to be carried out when he is finished.
 The waiting force for a cafeteria Is a minus quantity, for there are no walters. The establishments are usu- ally two hours at meal times, the cooking being done beforehand. A force of four girls can readily handle a thousand people. All the delicacies of the season are procured and placed on the bill of fare, which has every thing at nominal cost, and in odd cents. A cantaloupe that, being grown in the vicinity here and costing 10 to 20 cents at a Phoenix restau- rant, can be had in Los Angeles. | away from the producing section, at | from to 10 cents. And it is the l same with everything else

SURE TO ASK The Kind of Coffee when Postum il Well-made.

Three great coffee drinkers were my old school friend and her two daughters
 They were always complaining and taking medicine. I determined to give them Postum instead of coffee when they visited me, so without saying anything to them about it, I made a big pot of Postum the first morning. using four heaping teaspoonfuls to the pint of water and let it boil twen- " minutes, stirring down occasionally
 Before the meal was half over. each one passed her cup to be re- filled, remarking how fine the coffee was, The mother asked for third cup and inquired as to the brand of coffee l used. I didn't answer her question just then. for I had heard her say a while before that she didn't like Pos tum unless it was more than half old d-fashiOned coffee.
 After breakfast I told her that the coffee she liked so well at breakfast was pure Postum and the reason she liked it was because it was properly made, that is, it was boiled long enough to bring out the flavor.
 T have been brought up from nervous, wretched invalid, to a fine condition of physical health by leav- ing off coffee and drinking Postum
 T am doing all I can to help the world out of coffee slavery to Pos tum freedom, and have earned the gratitude of many, many friends" Read The Road to Melville" in pkgs. There's a Reason"

ASSERTS SERUM Is
 CARBOL|C SOLUTION
Veterinarian Says a Great Injustice is Being Done the Farmers in
 the Valley
Editor of the Republican, Sir:

EOlIOr OI lne fSepuDllCdIl, oI
 Some time since. noticed in a rep utable coast journal. the following comment which I deem of interest to the farmers and dairymen of Arizona and particularly to those of the Salt river valley, tO-wit:
 Some time ago under the law which authorized the Secretary of Agricul- ture to purchase and test samples of tuberculin, serums and analogous pro- ducts imported into or sold in this country. for the cure of animal dis eases and to publish results of his tests, an alleged cure for hog cholera was shown by actual experiment to be of no value whatever. Now another preparation which has been widely ad- vertised as Roberts Anti abortion Se- rum for preventing and curing abortion in cows, has also been examined and the analysis shows that it contains no serum at all. and consists of merely about 9S per cent water with some thing over one per cent of carbOlic acid. eternal vigilance and an entire absence of a trusting disposition. added to the protecting efforts of the analist may some day wipe out these frauds that are perpetrated on the farmer
 This same anti-abOrtion serum, so called. prepared by Dr. David Roberts of Waukesha, Wisconsin, has been promiscously peddled through the Salt river valley and the farmers have paid out hundreds of dollars for the so-called serum, which Dr. Roberts says is the result of years of careful study and nxnarir1nnfG nd of tn hn public for general use until actual ex- perience proved that it will positively prevent and cure abortion in COWS It can readily be seen from the govern ment analysis that the so called serum contains no serum whatever, and is only an antiseptic solution which am frank to admit is a good germ de- stroying solution but not a serum A serum being the yellowish fluid sep arating from the blood after the CO agulatiOn of the fibrin or clot. I have Ieen asked wh-' I do not get up some such treatment. In reply to this ques- tion l would say that I have used d similar treatment to that prepared by Dr. Roberts, but have not represented 1t to be a serum treatment I have prescribed this treatment in the Salt river valley for almost ten years, but it has been administered differently from that of Dr. Roberts and has, I am glad to say, given very good results.
 I have not written these few lines to injure Dr. Roberts since I have met the doctor personally and consider him gentleman, but man putting goods on the market should in my opinion. represent what he sells and sell what he represents.

AN IMPORTED SUIT
 FROM COCH|sE COUNTY
Receiver for First National Bank Brings Action Against Guaranty
 Company.

The suit of T N. Lakin. receiver for the First National bank of Bisbee, against the United States Fidelity and Guaranty company was brought to the district court for this county on a change of venue, it being stipulated by both parties that the case should be sent to this county
 The complaint states that after the bank failed on March 24 1908, and the plaintiff was appointed receiver, he found among the assets of the bank two bonds, or contracts, issued by the defendant, one guaranteeing the bank against loss on account of the mis- deeds of w H. Eddleman. the presi- dent of the bank. John H. Nolan. the cashier, and w R. Wilkn. the book keeper As to each of these three the defendant was bound in the sum of $4O,00O. There was another bond guaranteeing the bank against loss by the misconduct of Policeman and Nolan The bond in the case of each was S30,000.
 It was discovered after the failure of the bank that the loss on account of Eddleman was S15.O0O; on account of Nolan $15,0O0, and on account of Wilkin S10,000.
 It is alleged that within three months after this discovery, and ac- cording to the terms of the contract with the defendant, claim was pre- sented with proof of loss for s4O.OOO and that no part of it has been paid. The attorneys for the plaintiff are Judge A c. Baker of this city and J. H. O'Connell of Bisbee.
 Eddleman and Nolan were indicted by a United States grand jury for a violation of the national banking laws. They were indicted. and after the con viction of Policeman, Nolan pleaded guilty.

ADVICE THAT SEEMS SOUND
Few Better Solid Investments to Be Found Than a Portion of
 Mother Earth.

Get a little patch of mother earth, o young man with $500 to invest. If you can't get it in New York, get it in Utah, Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona, Alaska-or any old place in the far west. But-buy the ground. Billions have been lost in spurious mining ventures; but in the course of time there will be an end of wildcat mining. Salted mines are not yet a dead issue; but in a few years there will be such a consolidation of mining interests that to salt a mine will mean 20 years in prison. Any man to-day may open an office in Wall street and lay on a table samples of ores that would make you rich in a month-lf you got an interest in the mine. If you care to invest, make a secret service investigation.

WHERE COTTON HAS GONE
Little Rock Thieves Said to be Responsi-
 ble for Losses of Conway Buyers.


 Conway cotton buying merchants who have been suffering through out the season from deductions iu weight made by the Little Rock factors have recently learned the cause of these losses. It seems that the employees of the Little Rock cotton concerns have been engaged in systematic petty thieving, in which they have just been detect ed by the cotton committee of the Little Rock Board of Trade. The employees would steal from one to twenty pounds from almost every bale and dispose of it to the junk dealers. The committee have join ed with .he cotton concerns to sup press the evil and promise that fu ture thefts of cotton will be severley punished. The loss to the local merchants on each bale is trivial, but aggregates several thousand pounds of lint during the season. Until the discovery of the thefts they were at loss to understand why the Little Rock weights were nearly always less than the Con- way weights.
