an inspection Of the western Penobscot
hay shore and has made tentative ar

20-year lease of property to the north
of Tillson wharf adjoining the water.
There it is intended to erect modern
concrete factory 200 feet long, 60 feet
wide and two stories high. The esti-
mated cost is $4,000, ard machinery OF
about the same value will be installed.
The concern will employ between $50

BANKS COME ID RESCUE OF
 THE SCHOOLS
Warrants Issued Teachers Will Be Carried By Banks Until District School Funds Are Available in Near Future

The warrants last issued the teach CTS in the public schools of the War ren district by the school trustees were cashed by the banks, in ad vance of funds having been made by them for the accommodation of the schools. There is nothing alarming in this. as it Is an annual occurrence. and means not that the school is without funds, but that the funds which they have coming to them are not available just at the present time
 The situation will be relieved promptly The territorial apportion- ment to Cochise county, which amounts to about s11.OOO. is being apIortioned. and the district in which the Bisbee schools are located will receive their part within a very short time. Before that is exhausted the school funds from the county will have become available and no further t.oable need be anticipated.
 lr connection with the school funds it is interesting to note just what it costs to maintain the public schools of the district. The total will not amount to more than $50 900 for the nine months of school as the ex- pense is about 5000 a month. This means that the taxpayers of the dis trict maintain in school 2300 pupils at cost fer the nine months of about s30 each. and that they pay a schoo; tax of just about s1 a year including an amount sufficient to re tire the bonds floated for the purpose of erecting the Central school build ing.

PACKARD RETURNS
 FROM NORTH TRIP
Lone Member of Fair Com mission Was In BiSbee
 Yesterday

Hon, B. A Packard was in Bisbee a few hours yesterday. coming up from h.s home in Douglas. to attend to some business here. Mir Packard re- turned frcm a trip 10 Flagstaff and Phoenix on W-dnesday. going to the farther northern citv for the purpose of visiting his friend. Tom Pollock. who hsc been i- very poor health for leyeral- weeks. bur who IS now fairly on the road io @ nT'et9 re resoyeTy.
 AtsFlagstaff. M Packard met G@v- ernor Sloan, who dad just returned there from his t'iE ct Washington snd otber eastern Joints. D the talk with Governor Sloan the new governor mac manY inquiries concerning the --orEings of the territorial fair com mission and the general proposition of managing tke fair. He has agreed t. remain on the commission for an otIer year, although he says that to do so will mean considerable sacri- fee cf time and money on his part
 Packard learned while in Phoenix that both the new appointees on the far commission made by Goevrnor Kittry at the end of the legislative session-Mr. Hahn of Phoenix and Frank Wright of Prescott-had de- c'iued to accept the position. so that their places will have to be filled by other appointments
 "I heard cons, s,Gerabi1 talk in Phoe- nix concerning the intention of tha grand jury of Maricopa county to make an investigation of certain charges which had been made con corning bribery or attempted bribery during the recent legislative session. but I do not expect to see anything of s.rious nature unearthed. There may have beea some. such talk iB Phoenix. but J doubt if any of it ever had any real foundation"
 Concerning the incoming and out ccing territorial administrations Mir. Packard sad that the event of a change in tn r~vcrDoT's office was naturally e-s0 ~Aieh caused great in teep-t f. @ai~ where there are So ----- r- -r official positions which

Hint for Esnerinu.

Tn papering any room it should be remembered that light is the first con. sideration, and that the paper must be chosen accordingly.
 Pure white is the best choice when 6 specially light roc-a is wanted. as il absorbs only about 15 per cent of the light thrown upon it. Dark green, CD the other hand. is the greatest con surer of light. absorbing about s5 per cent
 Next 10 white as a light producer are the soft pastel .ints and light blues. which absorb from % to 25 per cent of the light; then comes orange ct % per cent; apple and gray greens almost 50 per cent, and the popular brown is almost as bad as dark green ss 1t takes up about 65 10 70 per ce:.t of the light it should throw out.

HAS A NOVEL MANNER OF
 ADVERTISING
Local Man Has a Boosting Idea, Which, Although It Would Cost Barrel of Money Would Bring Good Returns

unique suggestion in the line of advertising this city was made to
 Review reporter yesterday by Roy Morfcot, and if his suggestion Is car
 ried out Bisbee will become even
 more widely known throughout the country as a live. up-to-date city than it is today.
 Mir Morfoot. who is a baseball fan
 of tn ethirty-third degree species, is
 of the opinion that a fast ball team,
 with the label "Bisbee' pasted all over
 the players in such manner that no
 enc could mistake where they were
 from. would prove a, great advertise
 ment for the town if sent on tour of
 the east
 The team, of course. to be any good to the city as an advertising medium,
 must be a fast one, although it can
 not be expected that an organization to defeat the White SoX could be se-
 cured here However. if the Bisbee travellers won a majority of their
 games from Pumpkin Center and Ra-
 zor Back Ridge that would be all the people could ask, as the advertising
 would be of great benefit.
 It is not difficult to imagine the
 result of such a campaign of adver- Using. For instance. the Bisbee team, traveling in firsGclass shape. rulls inte some city in the middle east, for
 instance Cleveland. A game has pre- viously been arranged for them with one of the best teams in that city. and ! the contest has been widely adveg- tised. The Bisbe men go to one of the | first-class hotels in a bunch and stay
 together all during the day previous to | the game What is the result? Be | fore nightfall every man, woman and child in Cleveland knows that that crowd of ten or eleven husky, clean 1 limbed young fellows who have been | seen around town all days are mem bers of the Bisbee baseball team. l Where is Bisbee? Nothing easier :. | The newspapers, always out for a | stor yof that kind, announce under i good-sized headlines that the Bisbee team is in Cleveland, and tells some 1 thing about the organization. also the town from whick they come. Before noon of the next day every resident of l Cleveland. who the day previous was 1 asking Where the dickens is Bis 1 bee?" will be able to say: "Bisbee is
 the greatest city in the southwest, To- cated in Southern Arizona, is the me tropolis of the greatest copper mining district in the United States, has 3 population cg 25,000 and is growing
 every day.
 l And the same people will think to
 themselves that Bisbee must be up
 and hustling to send a ball team all | the way from Arizona to Cleveland tc
 play ball. No matter if the team ney- l CT wins a game. if the players are 1 well taken care of and managed and | conduct themselves in Q clean. order | " manner, the work vii be done. and | the word "Bisbee" vii be heard or | every side, more especially in thf | cities where the team plays.
 Such an undertaking. of course, VII | crst heavily. but in the long run Il | will be well worth while.

COUNTY ASSESSMENT
 WILL BE REDUCED
Assessor Howe Says That Falling Off May Amount
 to S2,000,900

According 10 the opinion of the county assessor. Charles Howe. who is now m Bisbee engaged in listing the property of this city for the pres ent year the assessment value of the property ip Cochise county will be re duced probably s2.000.000 from what it amounted 10 last year.
 "The reason for this said Mir. Howe lis the fact of the very low price of copper during last year. The producing mines or the county aro assessed on 9 per cent of their total output which is valued at the average selling price for the year pre- vious The average of this value for the assessment of 1908 was a great deal more than it will be for 1909. The difference of this value of the output or the Copper Queen product alone win amount to something like S600.- 600 and it is likely that the loss from the other companies in the county will bring the total loss Of assessment value on account of mineral output to the sum of S1,000,000.
 Resides this. there has been more or less decrease of values on account of the depressed business and indus trial conditions in the county in other classes of property which vii! show a material total in the total loss iu the tctal of the county assessment.
 "I arr finding considerable in creased property in the shape of new buildings which have been erected during the year both in Douglas and Bisbee. but this increase will not to tal very large
 At CouTtland there will be Q hand some addition to the assessment roll as that district was hardly started when the assessment was made fol last year"
 Mir. Howe expects to have his county rolls comPleted before the limit of time allowed by law. He eS poets % have all the lists in his of fee at Tombstone by the first day 0 May. when the wcrk Of making up the rolls will be started and pushed tC completion SC that they may be com pleted and ready to deliver to th' board of supervisors before the frs , day of July.
 Beginning the first day of July th' board of supervisors will meet as ; county board of equalization for th' purpose of hearing any property own CTS in the county who may desire t' make comDlaint of their assessmen
 and for the purpose of increasint any of the assessment values whici may be found too low
